The robot is very honest, it looks lively and active, but it is obedient and sensible. He will either stay in Su Zheyan’s pocket, or lie on top of his head to watch the fun quietly.
He had been lost twice in total, the first time he was stolen, and the second time he disappeared suddenly, pulling out several hairs before leaving.
His head hurts severely, and Su Zheyan still responded to what happened.
While searching among the crowd, he whispered, “Xiao Ci.”
It was noisy around and no one answered him. Occasionally, an alpha came over to try something, but was hacked to death by Su Zheyan, who was in a rage.
There are too many people here, and there are red-eyed alphas everywhere. He searched for a long time with a machete, but he couldn’t find his little robot and was splashed with blood.
Su Zheyan pursed his lips irritably, he knew that the little robot should not be placed on top of his head. When I get him back in a while, I must hang him with an iron chain on my body, he thought.
Su Zheyan has been searching for more than an hour, but he can’t find even the shadow of the robot. He just disappeared into thin air.
Su Zheyan recalled what happened earlier, an alpha with a stick ran past him, and then his little robot disappeared.
Su Zheyan was silent for a moment, his cheeks flushed with anger.
He let out a breath of air slowly, “Damn it, Ah Ci was stolen again!”
Meanwhile, the little robot is still wandering the alleys.
Contrary to Su Zheyan’s imagination, he was not grabbed or stolen, but Chu Shici flew away.
According to the system’s estimations, the alpha swung him dozens of metres with a stick. After falling to the ground, in order to avoid the chaotic crowd, he ran forward a few metres.
The area he was in was seriously beyond the scope of Su Zheyan’s search. As long as Su Zheyan doesn’t change his mind, he will never even think about finding the robot here in his life.
Chu Shici was about to walk back to the place where he was hit head-on, and patiently wait for Su Zheyan to pick him up in an alley nearby.
On the way to find the male lead, the system was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so they chatted with him.
[You pulled your fierce 1 bald.]
‘Only thirteen hairs. ‘
[Together, it is alopecia areata*.]
Chu Shici stretched out his hand, and the eight mechanical fingers shook back and forth, ‘I’m lying on top of his head, so I can only grasp separately. Don’t worry, my Yan-ge has very thick hair.’
The towns of Desolate Star were established by the criminals independently, with no infrastructure at all, and all relying on individual self-consciousness.
In order to do business, the shop will install several small lights on the main street. And there is nothing in the alley. At night, it is pitch black.
The status light above Chu Shici’s head glowed faintly, barely illuminating the road.
The system started looking for something to talk to, chatting with him.
[Ah Ci, when did you find out that you are gay?]
‘Junior high school.’
[So small? Met a boy you like, a classmate?]
‘He is not a classmate, but a brother who is a few years older than me. He saved me, and I have an affection for him. ‘
The system got excited, [Saved you?]
‘I was running away from home and was sleeping on a park bench and two men asked me if I wanted to go to their house for a drink. I told them to go away, and they dragged me into the woods. That brother suddenly appeared, punched them a few times, and pulled me away. Hearing my stomach growl, he took me to a roadside stall to eat fried noodles. ‘
[What happened later? You fell in love early?]
‘No, I only saw him once. I knew that his skin was very fair, and he didn’t have much expression and was not talkative.’
[The skin is white, and he’s likel a lump of wood, just like the male lead.]
After the system finished speaking, he laughed first, and joked with him: [Did you use the hero as a stand-in?]
Chu Shici looked at him speechlessly, ‘I don’t know if I like him, or maybe I’m born gay. Yan-ge is so kind to me, I would need to have absolutely no conscience to use him as a stand-in. ‘
The system is just talking nonsense, so it laughed and skipped the topic, [Your first love can walk in the park at night, he must live nearby, you never went to the park to find him?]
‘I was hospitalised, and after coming out, I have limited mobility, so I haven’t been to the park much.’
The system asked him why he was hospitalised, but Chu Shici didn’t say a word.
He avoided talking further afterwards. Halfway through the system’s questioning, it suddenly heard the sound of the vitality value dropping.
[The vitality value is reduced by 1, and the current vitality value is 71 points.]
[The vitality value is reduced by 1, and the current vitality value is 1 point.]
Looking at the two prompts on the panel, the system slapped itself.
Su Zheyan lost his vitality, probably because he couldn’t find the robot, and felt very sad.
On Chu Shici’s side, it’s purely because of its mouth. Which question stabbed Chu Shici’s heart? It was almost stabbed into a negative number.
The system began to recall the questions just now.
[Your parents have a bad relationship with you?]
[Do you not like studying?]
[Do you have any close friends?]
Looking back now, this is probably a triple fatal question.
Chu Shici still looked calm, but the system didn’t dare to ask random questions and started telling him jokes.
There were footsteps coming from the end of the quiet alley, Chu Shici subconsciously covered his status light, and hid in a corner.
Several alphas dragged a thin alpha to the alley, and began to do things that minors should not watch.
Chu Shici faced the wall and moved out little by little.
Someone above his head suddenly let out an exclamation, and an alpha who was watching and didn’t participate in the scuffle reached out to pick him up.
“Brother, there is a robot here.”
Another person took Chu Shici and threw it up and down, “There is a big hole in this head, it is a defective product, what are you doing with this kind of garbage, you can see that he won’t move.”
After he finished speaking, he threw the robot to the ground casually.
Chu Shici, who was still pretending to be dead just now, popped his wheels out immediately after landing, and rolled away in a hurry, leaving the few alphas staring at the ground.
When he turned into another alley, he leaned on the wall to catch his breath.
He reached out to touch his head, and sure enough, he found an obvious pit in his head.
‘A Tong, why didn’t you tell me?’
[How can I tell you that you have a hole in your head? Isn’t this a curse.]
That being said, the system actually didn’t dare to tell him, for fear of hurting him. It was a little emotional, thinking how presumptuous it was when it didn’t check the vitality of the host.
Chu Shici had a good temper, he always smiled and never got angry.
Chu Shici touched the crater on his head and muttered softly, “defective product”.
The system is lamenting that the happy time is gone forever. When I open the panel, the vitality value has dropped to 0.
System: wow
Yan-ge! Yan-ge help!
___
Su Zheyan hadn’t been this angry for a long time.
In the scuffle, he found the man with the stick and asked him to hand over the stolen robot.
The man not only refused to hand over, but also touched him.
The alphas around him also came to make trouble, some touched his waist, and some tore his clothes.
He had to take some time to knock down the people in this area before he was free.
Su Zheyan held the man by the collar, “Where is my robot?”
The man was dumbfounded, he wiped the blood off his face, “I don’t know what kind of robot, brother, I was wrong!”
Su Zheyan groped in his clothes for a while, but couldn’t find it.
Others have also been searched, nothing.
Su Zheyan threw the man to the ground, “You lost him, go find him.”
His cold eyes scanned the scattered alphas on the ground, “I spared your life, not to let you lie here in a daze.”
The man struggled to get up and looked at Beta in front of him. He is obviously a head shorter than him, and he is also more delicate and thinner than an Alpha. But those blue eyes were like deep trenches. Just looking at it is terrifying.
Threatened by Su Zheyan with a knife, the alphas who had just taken the initiative to send themselves to death’s door scattered and went to look for the robot in various alleys. They thought about escaping, but even if the beta couldn’t find a palm-sized robot, that didn’t mean he couldn’t find a living person.
The street was still noisy and Su Zheyan stood on the main street and looked around silently.
If no one can find his little robot still, he will wait a few days for the fog to form. Once the fog covers the town, the living will all hide in the house. When the time comes, the streets will be empty, so he will be easy to find.
Whether it’s catching alphas in the night market, or looking for people in the fog, it’s very dangerous. The former will be tortured to death, and the latter will be eaten by monsters.
Su Zheyan looked down at the bloody machete, it was just a mechanical toy, why should he care so much.
Just go and buy a new one, why is he so nervous? His life now doesn’t revolve around just robots.
In three more days, the imperial army will attack Desolate Star. At that time, there will be a scuffle, and it will be even more difficult to go to the unknown area on the map.
If he doesn’t start on time tomorrow, he won’t be able to reach the destination before the war begins.
Su Zheyan closed his eyes, his subconscious is telling him that there was something important hidden there. He couldn’t remember what it was, but he had to go there.
After searching half a night, the alphas came back one after another, all nervous, and cautiously said that they hadn’t found it.
Su Zheyan didn’t say a word, his eyes fell on the toy store not far away.
He went in and asked for a new robot, put it in his breast pocket, and tried to put it on top of his head.
It doesn’t feel right in any position.
When Su Zheyan was fighting, the boss watched the whole process. When he saw him coming in, he had a very good attitude, “Guest, this is not how to play. There is a button, press it and the robot will run.”
As he talked and demonstrated, the robot popped off its wheels and ran back and forth across the table. He can also sing and juggle, which is more advanced than his little robot.
The boss ordered the robot to roll and sell its cuteness, and said casually: “This is the third-generation robot. No one wants old toys. If you buy it, I will sell it to you cheap. He is easy to maintain, just eat some Sanwu engine oil. It is installed with different types of voice packages: Loli, shota, female and juvenile, you can choose one.”
After he finished speaking, he noticed that the guest hadn’t spoken for a long time. The boss looked up, the Beta in front of him still had the same indifferent expression, but the circles of his eyes were slightly red, and there was a faint layer of mist inside.
Alpha’s blood was still sticking to his blond hair, no matter how greedy the boss was, he didn’t dare to think otherwise.
He adjusted the voice system to a juvenile voice, and the robot ran up to the guests and shouted in a clear and lively voice: “Good evening! You can give me a name!”
Before the robot finished speaking, tears hit its head.
The boss thought there was a joke, but Su Zheyan wiped his face, turned around and left.
The boss scowled.
Walking into his shop with a knife in his hand and covered in blood, he asked for a third-generation robot. Tried it back and forth, even thought about the place to put the toy, and even cried in front of the robot, but in the end, he just wanted to see it and not buy it?
He put away the robot, tsk, weirdo.
At the same time, Chu Shici was wandering in the alley.
___
Many alphas poured into the alley, as if they were looking for something.
Chu Shici hid in fear of being discovered by them.
After running all through the night, he was also tired from running. There were still many people on the streets, and he couldn’t find Su Zheyan at all.
Chu Shici returned to the place where he was lost, and sat in the shadow of the alley with his legs crossed in a daze.
At this moment, he felt like a lost child, waiting for his parents to pick him up in the lost place.
Chu Shici touched the pit on the top of his head, feeling a surge of panic in his heart.
His parents did not come to pick him up in the past. Will Su Zheyan not want him now?
After all, he has a hole in his head, and he is a burden that has been thrown away twice.
But the system said it was just a small world, and when the hero’s vitality reached 100, he could leave.
The system feels that he is not in the right state, [Your elder brother must be looking for you, you were stolen before, so he went looking for you.]
‘Before was before, now he doesn’t need me. ‘
[Who said that, where did you get that from?]
‘He definitely doesn’t want me, just like those people. ‘
[? ? ?]
The system found that the host was extremely depressed, and now it has collapsed.
Not far away, an alpha wandered over, his skin was bruised and his face was swollen.
The moment he saw Chu Shici, he burst into a cry of surprise: “I have found it! Fuck, I found it! I don’t need to die!”
Chu Shici was picked up, held in his hands and ran away wildly.
A group of people around shouted and cheered, as if they had encountered some happy event.
Chu Shici looked at a loss, and when the alpha who was grabbing him and running finally stopped, he was sent to a pair of pale hands.
A familiar cold voice came from above, “You dirtied yourself again.”
Chu Shici covered his head and looked up. Su Zheyan was covered in blood and there were shallow scars on his face.
Chu Shici’s heart seemed to be beating again, and his spirit was much better.
Those blue eyes were still as calm as water, looking at him indifferently.
He was about to smile at him when he heard a slightly mocking voice.
“The night market is very dangerous to me. Don’t cause trouble for me. If you run around again, I won’t want you.”
Chu Shici’s smile froze on his face, and he nodded silently.
The system who watched the entire process, glanced at the panel speechlessly. Lost and recovered, the hero’s vitality value rose to 75.
The alpha, who was almost killed by Su Zheyan, consciously completed the task. Seeing that he didn’t stop him, he immediately rushed away.
Su Zheyan was just about to find a hotel to stay in, when he suddenly noticed that the robot kept covering its head.
He pulled Chu Shici’s hand away, and saw that there was a big hole in the robot’s smooth head. The paint on his body was still knocked off, and he looked tattered, much more miserable than last time.
Su Zheyan sent Chu Shici to the toy store, and a few minutes later, he came out with a brand new robot.
Until Su Zheyan was about to go to bed, Chu Shici was still listless.
He put the robot next to the pillow, staring sideways at him.
After a long time, Su Zheyan couldn’t help but frown and said, “What’s wrong with you.”
Chu Shici remained silent.
“Hungry?”
“There is a toy store here, if you feel uncomfortable, I will take you there to fix you.”
“Ah Ci, answer me.”
The obedient and sensible little toy who answered all questions in the past is like a different person now.
Su Zheyan stretched out his finger, but the robot didn’t hug him. He sneered and turned over, pretending to sleep, and turned back after a while.
His robot lay motionless on the pillow, and did not respond to teasing. The boss clearly said that the internal parts were fine.
The pit has also been repaired, and the paint has been patched up. What’s going on?
Su Zheyan rubbed the robot, thought for a long time, and thought of a possibility.
He held Chu Shici in his hand, held back for a long time, and said in a cold tone, “I’m lying to you, I won’t not want you. It doesn’t matter how many times you are lost, it’s not like I can’t find you. The matter of you pulling out my hair, I forgive you too. If you don’t like the outside world, I’ll take you back to the capsule. Tell me if you’re uncomfortable, and I’ll take you to the doctor.”
After an unknown amount of time, Su Zheyan felt that the robot in his hand began to leak oil.
Su Zheyan watched quietly for a while, stroking the robot’s head with his fingertips.
After making sure that Chu Shici had recovered, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
A notification tone sounds in the system space.
[Add 5 to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is 5.]
Maybe because he was too tired tonight, Su Zheyan had a dream.
In the dream, he found Chu Shici first, and was about to take the robot home to clean it, when the robot suddenly jumped up and cried, ‘You don’t want me anymore, I won’t go with you.’
Su Zheyan explained wildly in his dream, but he was not good at expressing his feelings, and the robot was lost again, so he searched for it in his dream all night.
Early the next morning, Su Zheyan wrote a diary on the table in the guest room with dark circles under his eyes.
[Wednesday, sunny. I’m pissed off, I’m going to be pissed off. I’m not angry with Ah Ci, I’m angry with myself. Why do you have to say such poisonous things? It frightened him, and he needs me to coax. I’m not good at coaxing people, but I feel uncomfortable if I don’t try.]
[I specifically called him Ah Ci, but he didn’t respond, so I knew that Xiaobai was the better name. He hasn’t woken up yet, what am I nervous about. It’s all the fault of Eternal Life Technology, if they haven’t done all those things, I won’t need to go to the unknown areas. There is no need to leave the capsule, and Ah Ci will not have psychological problems.]
There was a slight sound on the bed, Su Zheyan looked over expressionlessly.
Chu Shici stretched his waist and waved to him, “Yan-ge! Good morning!”
Su Zheyan gave him a cold look, and turned around and wrote in his diary, [Recovered, that’s great.]
Two beeps woke up the system, and it looked at the panel sleepily.
[Add 4 to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is 79.]
[Increase the vitality value by 2, and the current vitality value is 7.]
Time was running out, so Su Zheyan packed up his things and took Chu Shici to the next town.
He saw some torn clothes on the ground along the way. Judging from the style, they should be people with Eternal Life Technology. Hundreds of their teams have entered the wilderness one after another and are exploring the unknown area in the southeast.
A chain was tied around Chu Shici’s waist, and the other end was tied to Su Zheyan’s arm. He tugged on the chain and couldn’t help chuckling.
They didn’t experience too many twists and turns along the way, and they arrived at the unknown area depicted on the map before the imperial army attacked Desolate Star on time.
It was a barren field, and a capsule was lying there alone.
It is similar to the one Su Zheyan used before, but it is older and covered with dust.
When the hatch was lifted, the dust rushed in.
Chu Shici grabbed the chain and swung around, poking his head to look inside.
When the dust cleared, the scene inside the capsule was revealed.
It was densely packed with black stones, and under the black stones, there was a pile of papers.
The words on the paper can be vaguely seen through the gaps between the stones.
The handwriting is neat and handsome, square and upright, which is Su Zheyan’s handwriting.
