The reason why the empire was able to accurately find Su Zheyan before was because he lived obediently in the capsule cabin and didn’t go anywhere.
Coupled with the fact that there was little fog at that time, it was possible to roughly capture where the beta went.
However, they could not do so today as the fog over the wilderness is thick. Even if they were to put the navigation system in front of Su Zheyan, it didn’t respond.
Even Chu Shici, who was far away in the city, was faintly affected by the fog. He walked with a limp.
Eternal Life Technology is full of professionally trained bodyguards, who quickly escorted Zuo Ting, opening a bloody path on the main street of the night market.
During the scuffle, the mask worn by the leader accidentally fell off. Chu Shici saw his appearance clearly, and quickly tugged at the finger beside him.
Su Zheyan didn’t say anything, he grabbed the little robot and put it on top of his head. Turned around and closed the window, drawing the curtains close.
Chu Shici grabbed at his golden hair, “Yan-ge! Is that Zuo Ting’s clone?”
Su Zheyan was silent for a long time. Just when Chu Shici thought he would not answer, he replied: “Not necessarily, maybe the one sent to the empire is a clone, this is the real body. It is impossible to distinguish the real person from the false solely by the appearance alone, the brand may be falsified. Hence it requires genetic testing.”
“Is there no other way of testing?”
Su Zheyan fell silent again, and after a long while said softly: “When I was thinking about this problem, an object inexplicably appeared in my mind. It was black and had a long strip, and I couldn’t remember what it was.”
Chu Shici was talking to him while sitting on top of his head tying small pigtails.
He had just tied a small twist when he suddenly remembered something, “Strip? There was a lot of dust on the second floor of the bookshelf in the capsule cabin, and there were strips of traces on it. I saw it when I was wandering around in it.”
Chu Shici stretched out his hand to compare: “It’s about as wide as my head, and one-third longer than my height.”
Su Zheyan felt a little heavy on the top of his head, he took down the robot, “You describe it really clearly.”
“I lay down to measure it. Am I smart? Praise me.”
Chu Shici’s last “praise me” was just casually, but Su Zheyan seemed to take it seriously. Staring at him blankly for a while, an unnatural blush appeared on his fair face.
He seemed to be very bad at speaking nice words, so after holding back for a long time, he said “Awesome.”.
Chu Shici covered his chest and said to the system in his mind, ‘Tong-ge, I’m in love again. ‘
[Liar! Go away! ]
These hotels in Desolate Star are all run by veteran criminals in partnership. The first few groups who came to Desolate Star formed gangs to expand their power. The elder brother builds a city, and the younger brother opens a shop in the city.
There are no workers here, and no robots can operate. Just enslave other alphas and build houses for them. Then work for Eternal Life Technology and come back with some furniture. Those things are worthless in the empire, but they are scarce on Desolate Star.
Although it has a hotel sign, it rarely does hotel business.
When encountering strong alphas staying in the hotel together, everyone lives in peace. If the customer is a slightly weaker alpha or a lone ranger, they will lock the door, knock them out and sell them at the night market to earn extra money. If there are beta or omega, then this place will directly change from a hotel to a brothel.
Su Zheyan put a lot of effort into choosing the room, and dried blood can be seen everywhere on the walls of the corridor and the guest room.
Now this is the cleanest room except for scratches on the floor.
Looking at the traces, it should be that someone crawled on the ground, tried to escape from the room, and was forcibly dragged back.
Su Zheyan took a napkin and made a small nest for the robot, and Chu Shici yawned in it.
The gunfire on the street has subsided, too many people were killed when Eternal Life Technology broke through, hence the night market was closed early, and it was quiet outside.
The overly strong smell of blood attracted monsters in the wilderness, and thick fog also filled the city.
The lights in the house flickered, Chu Shici patted the napkin, and assured tiredly: “Yan-ge, don’t worry, I can use the automatic alarm system today.”
He was sleepy, but the system watched dramas all night tonight. It said that it wanted to watch the popular drama: “Overbearing system and his wife travels throughout the universe”, so he could keep the night watch tonight.
The room was very quiet, Su Zheyan sat upright on the bed, staring at the ground quietly.
Chu Shici rubbed his eyes, “Yan-ge, what’s wrong with you?”
Su Zheyan had no expression on his face, but Chu Shici noticed that he was deep in thought.
He called Yan-ge for a long time on the small bed, before Su Zheyan went to lay back on the bed without saying a word.
He tossed and turned for a while, then took the little robot from his bed and placed it next to his face.
The robot’s cold and hard little hand touched the bridge of his nose. Su Zheyan held him down, and said in a low voice, “Sleep, don’t make trouble.”
However, Chu Shici heard the sound of vitality increasing, [Vigor +4, current vitality is 55.]
The system reluctantly moved its eyes away from the dog blood drama, and asked curiously: [How did it increase so much all at once?]
Chu Shici was firmly grasped by the warm palm, his head was pressed against Su Zheyan’s forehead, and his face was full of bewilderment.
“I just saw that he was in a bad mood, so I called him a few times and touched him. I don’t know… Maybe he was too tired today.”
The system let out a bewildered oh, and ran back to watch the show.
With the system keeping watch, Chu Shici fell asleep without any scruples.
The city shrouded in thick fog was exceptionally silent. The light above the little robot’s head flickered a few times, then went out with a bang.
In the dark night, Su Zheyan noticed the change in the light and opened his eyes, alarmed.
Looking at the extinguished indicator light, he just felt panicked, but found that the robot was still holding his fingertips with both hands, which made him gradually calm down.
After falling asleep again, Su Zheyan had a strange dream.
In the dream, he returned to the capsule cabin, holding his father’s belongings, playing with them as usual. After he opened the lid of the box, a man with yellow hair came out. He can’t see the man’s face clearly, but he has no smell on his body, he’s a beta.
The men circled around him, yelling “Yan-ge, Yan-ge” non-stop. While he ate, the man leaned against him, drinking motor oil. When he sleeps, the man pulls an antenna from the top of his head and says he wants to listen to the evening news. After turning off the lights, he would turn and twist in his arms.
Su Zheyan is not good at getting along with other people. In his dream, he couldn’t bear this kind of close distance. Thinking that he would be more comfortable with tin toys, he said to the man with a cold face, “You change back”.
He thought he didn’t say anything serious, but the man ran away crying, leaking oil while running. At night, he was really worried, so he followed the trail of oil on the ground.
In the end, he found the dying man among the crowd of people in the night market. This man who was still sunny and lively during the day is now covered with scars at this time. He was tortured to the point of not looking like a human by a group of alphas, and he was still shouting desperately: “Yan-ge, save me.”
Su Zheyan woke up suddenly from his dream, sitting on the bed and panting violently.
His new clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and he groped around in the dark. Sweat slipped from his forehead into his eyes, making his eyes hurt.
Chu Shici was sleeping soundly, but was awakened by the shaking bed, and he muttered in a daze, “Yan-ge? What’s wrong?”
Then he was grabbed and rubbed back and forth several times, abruptly waking him up.
Su Zheyan’s condition is not good, and he keeps rubbing him endlessly. Chu Shici felt that after another year or so, he would definitely be smoother than the walnut in the old man’s hand.*
*(idk but I kept this here because I imagined it and thought the imagery is funny)
Su Zheyan is a bit of a clean freak. Before rubbing him, he likes to wash his hands first and then wash him, using clean hands to rub the robot. But today, Chu Shici didn’t know what kind of stimulation he received, completely disregarding the usual routine.
Chu Shici asked the system, “What’s the matter with Yan-ge?”
[He had a nightmare, shot straight up, just like in a horror movie.]
“Is he scared?”
[Angry, I think.]
The status light above Chu Shici’s head had resumed working. In the faint light, he saw Su Zheyan’s bloodshot eyes and the killing intent in them.
This murderous aura didn’t last long. It gradually turned from anger into fear. Finally, it turned into water mist, covering the blue eyes.
Chu Shici called Yan-ge once, and the tears that were about to fall just now fell directly on him.
He was pressed and twisted several times, and even when he returned to dreamland, Su Zheyan’s hands would twist him a few times from time to time.
[Vigor value +5, the current vitality value is 60.]
___
The vitality value came so suddenly, Chu Shici thought about it all night, but he couldn’t figure out what happened yesterday.
He couldn’t figure it out, so he took the initiative to crawl into Su Zheyan’s hands and let him twist him a few more times. After twisting for more than half an hour, the vitality value did not move at all.
Guess wrong, it has nothing to do with twisting him.
On relatively free days, Su Zheyan would keep a diary sooner or later. Chu Shici wanted to take a peek, but Su Zheyan grabbed him with one hand and covered his eyes.
The system peeked out and secretly gossiped with him, [I can see what he is writing, wait for me to read.]
[The dream is terrible, but luckily it’s just a dream. It’s very dangerous here, I don’t want to stay in Desolate Star, I want to take him back to the Empire. But I won’t change my gender for this, and I can’t find a way to go back for now.]
[Recently there are more strange memories, which are messy. Very messy. But I feel that these memories belong to me. My subconscious is telling me to stay in Desolate Star, there are still important things to do. It’s really annoying.]
[Sometimes I think about a question, why should I be obsessed with keeping a diary? This matter has no meaning, wastes time, and may expose privacy. But I keep it every day, as if the diary is very important to me.]
The system read for a while, then suddenly fell silent.
Chu Shici was still intently following along when the system stopped: “Then what? He stopped writing?”
The system’s voice was a bit strange, [No, he is still writing. But instead of words, he is drawing a picture, a long stripe shaped black stone.]
It paused for a moment, and waited for Su Zheyan to finish drawing before continuing: [There is another ball, the bottom right is hollowed out, and he drew a question mark on the hollowed out place. He said that this was a dream he had never had before, and this weird dream only appeared in the last few days.]
[He also dreamed that… he tore up all the diaries?]
