Meanwhile, Merlin, in the office, wrapped up an office meeting.
He first reported the work to Chen Qi; they hadn't noticed the issue with the chip failure at all. After that, he wrote down the contents he needed to instruct on paper and handed it to Zhuang Xiao.
This was likely the last meeting of his life.
"If they find my body in the apartment tomorrow, then open this note."
Merlin gave his last instructions.
"Sounds like a last will."
Zhuang Xiao half-joked; she indeed couldn't stand Merlin, thinking he was a bastard who pursued his great goals by any means necessary. But the thought of Merlin being found dead in the apartment bedroom like Du Li tomorrow morning made her feel uneasy.
This is the real world; once dead, there's no chance of resurrection or repeating.
She asked, "Any unfulfilled wishes?"
"Colonel Zhuang Xiao, you have to find a way to survive."
