Recap
Shen Xiuzhe and the male protagonist took advantage of the chaos to exchange rooms.
There was a lot of talk about the subsequent follow ups to the plan, and Chu Shici listened very seriously.
But the more he listened, the more he felt that in the eyes of the male protagonist, Zhe-ge was just a tool.
Every sentence he said that sounded like a consultation, was actually an order. After all, in his eyes, Shen Xiuzhe, as his artificial person, should listen to his instructions and help him with what he needs to do.
Chu Shici narrowed his eyes.
Considering the overall situation, they must help.
He was just a little unhappy.
___
Shen Xiuzhe has a very good memory. He can remember all the contents of the USB flash drive after listening to it only once.
Chu Shici couldn’t remember it, but the system came with a small recording program that he could use to listen to at any time.
Hiding the USB flash drive, Chu Shici calmed down. He remembered that he had vaguely heard some sounds coming from the backend system when he was crying.
There was a message pop up showing Shen Xiuzhe’s increase in his vitality value. It shows Shen Xiuzhe’s current vitality value, which is at 75.
The things that had been suppressed deep in his heart were finally spoken and he was also able to obtain the full support of his lover.
Shen Xiuzhe was very happy, and his vitality value increased a lot in a short span of time, but Chu Shici became more anxious.
There were only five points left before he could become a human being and they can reunite, but he was stuck here.
Shen Xiuzhe had no objection to the male protagonist’s arrangement. He changed the white cloth with the male protagonist and put it on, and ate slowly.
Looking at Shen Xiuzhe, who looked calm and had even begun to think about how to carry out his role, Chu Shici sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, Zhe-ge is a fighter, otherwise it would be easy to suffer losses with this kind of temperament.
No, in fact, he has already suffered a loss.
If Zhe-ge hadn’t been so indifferent, he wouldn’t have been easily stripped of military power, and tricked into the punishment worlds to endure countless sufferings.
Chu Shici has a hot temper and will explode at the slightest moment.
He originally thought he can safely cooperate with the male protagonist, but after hearing the plans, he felt he had to be on guard.
The male protagonist does not view Zhe-ge as an equal in his heart. There was a hint of assertion in his tone and a trace of deeply hidden disgust.
Chu Shici was afraid that the male protagonist will deceive them. After the data is erased, Zhe-ge will be finished.
Originally, he didn’t want to separate from Zhe-ge, but now he decided to lurk next to the male protagonist as a smart speaker and keep a close eye on him.
If there is a chance, he will want to find some trump cards and hold them in his hand. If the male protagonist is really not a good person, they will still have the capital to negotiate.
Chu Shici said nothing, and Shen Xiuzhe ate silently. The room that was filled with voices is now silent.
The system didn’t see any drama, and was about to go back and knit a sweater for his wife. As soon as it picked up the wool, it was pulled back by the host.
Chu Shici sat opposite it, tapping his knees with his fingertips.
‘Tong-ge, have you noticed that the male protagonist is really suspicious? He is not honest at all.’
The system thought that there was drama in the air, and pricked up its ears excitedly.
‘He seemed to say a lot in the recording, but he actually concealed several very important key points.’
Chu Shici opened his notes and said, ‘Look, the focus of his narrative can be simply summarized as, “In this world whereby people overindulge themselves in entertainment, it led to the proliferation of New Entertainment Prisons.” He also explained what the chicken, dog, monkey and rat represents, giving a rough introduction to the cycle.’
‘The problem is, this information is not a secret. The whole story of the development of New Entertainment Prison can be explained by any netizen. The four animals and the cycles are also known by the prison staff.’
The tip of the pen tapped the paper, and Chu Shici tsked.
‘He mentioned the repetition of room numbers in one short sentence, saying it was to distinguish between real people and artificial people. He said before that in order to make money, the prison would invite some spectators to participate in the prison battle royale. Lao Wang, who had been away for a long time in Room 10 next door, was one of the spectators who cleared the card collecting game and got the rewards.’
‘But when I walked around the corridor earlier, there was clearly another Room 10 here. There were two Rooms 3 because two Shen Xiuzhes were locked up at the same time. What do those two Rooms 10 mean? They can’t enter the audience’s information into the data bank anyways.’
It was discovered that it was not a simple drama, but a serious analysis and discussion, and the system picked up the wool again.
Chu Shici pulled its ear and said, ‘This is serious, what’s this attitude?’
[I am a simple system, I can’t understand the plot, I just want to eat sweets. How about you just give me the conclusion? I can’t help you anyway.]
Chu Shici: …
‘The male protagonist did not explain the room numbers in detail, nor did he explain what the number 4 in the utility room meant. He also omitted the five o’clock news every morning and what it represents in the cycle.’
‘I can confirm that the morning news is the clues provided to the male protagonist. The flow of time in the virtual world is different from that in the real world. Just relying on the number of victims in Room 3, we can only vaguely estimate the approximate time. The news is an important part of the puzzle. Important time points are hidden in the news. When a certain news is played, the corresponding victim will live in Room 3.’
Chu Shici slapped the table and said, ‘The male protagonist hasn’t explained it yet. I don’t know if he thinks Zhe-ge is an artificial person, and that his memory will be refreshed sooner or later, so there is no need to say it, or if he has other reasons.’
‘But it’s true that he concealed important clues. I don’t know if that’s just his way of doing things. Anyway, I can’t trust him. I now suspect that he has no intention of helping Zhe-ge and wants to throw him away after using him. I’m even thinking that maybe we were thinking in the wrong direction from the very beginning.’
Chu Shici’s fingertips brushed across his chin.
‘Tong-ge, do you think that Zhe-ge is the real person, and the male protagonist is actually… an artificial person who mistakenly thinks he is the real person? After all, the example given by the male protagonist mentioned that when the player meets the artificial person, no matter how he explains it, the artificial person does not believe that he is fake.’
‘In this world, they often cannot tell what the reality is.’
___
In the next few days, Chu Shici and Shen Xiuzhe fed lots of sugar to the system. Get up early every day and listen to the news together, and do exercises together in the evening.
The two of them were getting more familiar with each other. As Shen Xiuzhe kissed the small speaker more, his technique became more and more smooth.
The system was fortunate enough to be able to witness it once.
He had just finished exercising. His cheeks were slightly red, lying on his side on the bed, stroking the small speaker with one hand. His fingertips stroked the speaker’s casing inch by inch, as gently as if they were caressing a lover.
He lowered his head and kissed him softly, and whispered in a hoarse voice: ‘Ah Ci, I want to really be with you. Not just my hands and your voice, I want to try out all the things you mentioned…’
Shen Xiuzhe’s shyness prevented him from speaking in a more straightforward manner, but the system understood.
Self-servicing could no longer meet Shen Xiuzhe’s needs, he wanted to get serious.
The system also wants to see it. 2 big beauties pressed closely against each other.
People in Dr. Sun’s camp only contacted the male protagonist, not Shen Xiuzhe.
Looking at the iron door that had been closed all year round, Chu Shici realized that changing rooms was not only good for the male protagonist, but also for Zhe-ge.
The guards on the twelfth floor were too strict and Shen Xiuzhe couldn’t do anything. When a new cycle begins, Zhe-ge will need to follow the cycle and return to the fifth floor where supervision is relatively loose.
With everyone’s attention focused on the male protagonist, Zhe-ge will have the opportunity to do more.
Now that the situation has reached a tense moment, the next cycle will be the final battle. Dr. Sun’s camp will fight hard, while the prison authorities will try their best to escape legal punishments.
When the two camps fight, the prison will inevitably fall into chaos.
As a chess piece abandoned by both sides, Zhe-ge has a great advantage in the next cycle.
After Chu Shici came to this world, Shen Xiuzhe had not made any big moves. One reason is that the management is too strict and no opportunities can be found, and the other reason is his lack of vision.
Zhe-ge never said it, but Chu Shici had been with him for hundreds of years and knew that he was a bit narcissistic.
When his vitality value is high, he is a man who takes care of his own appearance, and will subconsciously glance at himself when passing by a mirror. No matter how low his vitality value is, no matter how haggard he looks, his face will never be dirty.
No matter how extremely harsh the environment is, Zhe-ge will find a way to keep himself neat and tidy. Even if he was eating expired food and living in a filthy house, he will still make the effort to keep himself groomed.
Thinking of this, Chu Shici touched Shen Xiuzhe’s head lovingly, “Zhe-ge, you are so handsome. The more I look at you, the more I love you.”
Suddenly praised, Shen Xiuzhe ignored him and continued to pack his things. It’s just that the tips of the ears are slightly red and he had a tiny smile on his face.
When the cycle starts again and Zhe-ge returns to the starting point, his eyes will still be fine.
Without the double blow of blindness and the scars, Zhe-ge’s vitality value can be maintained at least above 90 points, when the whole person is in peak condition.
If Shen Xiuzhe loses his memory, Chu Shici is still certain that since the prison was too busy to take care of itself and its management was lax, Zhe-ge will definitely be able to collect what he wanted based on his ability.
Although, it will be better if Zhe-ge didn’t lose his memory. He has already gained so many clues, this game is a sure win.
Zhe-ge is just a pacifist, not a loser, and Chu Shici is very assured.
In the next cycle, the plan goes that Shen Xiuzhe will be the one to kick start the plan, the pressure will be on the small speaker.
Chu Shici hesitated.
He temporarily belongs to the male protagonist’s camp and wants to help him fight against the prison. At the same time, he wants to try his best to find trump cards, and force the male protagonist to rescue Zhe-ge when necessary. He also plans to determine who is the real person while getting along with the male protagonist.
The male protagonist was difficult to deal with, and Zhe-ge was not easy to get along with. Chu Shici felt a headache.
He was deep in thought when he was suddenly picked up and kissed.
Chu Shici raised his head, and Shen Xiuzhe’s handsome face came into view.
As if sensing his nervousness, Shen Xiuzhe said in an indifferent tone: “Whether I remember everything or not when the time comes, I will do a good job.”
He paused for a moment and emphasized intentionally, “Better than him.”
Chu Shici stretched out the charging cable and wrapped it around his wrist, “Zhe-ge is the best in my heart. I believe you! I just feel that the pressure is a bit too much. It’s my problem.”
Shen Xiuzhe pursed his lips and said, “Besides playing the news, you don’t need to do anything else. Leave everything to me.”
“No. I feel that the male protagonist is unreliable. I have to keep an eye on him.”
“I can handle it.”
“Zhe-ge? Why do I feel like you are even more nervous than me?”
Shen Xiuzhe had no expression on his face and snorted coldly.
Chu Shici didn’t understand it at first, but when he heard this arrogant snort, he suddenly figured out what Zhe-ge was thinking.
As the days passed, it was getting closer and closer to the start of the male protagonist’s plan. Shen Xiuzhe would soon hand over his wife to another man.
That man looked the same as him. Although he didn’t have any advantages in appearance and figure, he knew more than him.
That man is a real person, and there is an organization behind him. He didn’t beat the small speaker, and he didn’t chase Ah Ci with a board the first time they met.
Shen Xiuzhe had a sense of crisis. He was trying to find a way to prove to Chu Shici that he was more reliable and suitable to be a relationship partner than that person.
Chu Shici endured it for a long time and couldn’t help laughing.
Shen Xiuzhe had a cold face and asked impatiently: “Why are you laughing?”
Chu Shici covered his mouth and smiled: “About all those messy things you probably have in your head. I have slept with you so many times. What are you worried about?”
After his inner thoughts were exposed, Shen Xiuzhe’s face immediately darkened. He put the small speaker aside and turned to do other things.
Just after taking two steps, his finger was held by something.
Shen Xiuzhe paused and heard a smiling voice coming from the small speaker behind him.
“He is not as good as you. In my eyes, you are the best person in the world. Zhe-ge, be more confident. You are so good, how can I fall in love with someone else?”
As soon as Chu Shici finished speaking, Shen Xiuzhe walked away with a cold expression.
The next second, a notification pops up in the background of the system.
[Add 3 points to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is 78/100.]
___
A few days later at noon, Chu Shici was lying on Zhe-ge’s lap, secretly poking his abs with his plug.
The metal door that had been closed suddenly opened, and a strange man who they had met once before walked in pushing a food cart.
He put the lunch box on the table, turned his head and whispered, “It’s tonight. Get ready.”
Chu Shici felt that Zhe-ge’s mood suddenly became very bad.
The metal door closed, and he was about to say something when he heard two sharp inhalations coming from above his head.
Shen Xiuzhe didn’t eat and went to bed holding the small speaker. He covered himself with the quilt and wiped his tears silently.
Chu Shici controlled the charging cable and patted the man’s back, “It’s okay, don’t cry. We will only be separated for a short amount of time. Regardless of whether things can work out or not, I will definitely go to the fifth floor to find you.”
The environment in this world is special, and Zhe-ge relies too much on him, so much so that he can’t live without him.
Chu Shici felt distressed and a little inexplicably happy.
He coaxed for a while and successfully coaxed Shen Xiuzhe.
The two of them lay in bed, and when Chu Shici began to speak words of love, Shen Xiuzhe listened with a straight face, as if he were in a meeting.
Later, Chu Shici started to talk flirtatiously, but Shen Xiuzhe blushed and remained silent. After listening for a while, he couldn’t help but ask in a low voice: “Ah Ci, where did you learn these strange words?”
“I am a smart speaker and I have access to the Internet.”
Shen Xiuzhe’s face looked better when he heard that he only learned it online.
Time quickly advanced to the evening, and the strange man took the opportunity of delivering dinner to tell him to start moving on time at twelve o’clock. Ask him to first put on the same pajamas as the male protagonist and do his hair up the same way.
The moment gunshots are heard downstairs, they will need to be ready to change rooms at any time.
As the time approached twelve o’clock, Chu Shici couldn’t help but become nervous.
After receiving his orders, Shen Xiuzhe stood at the door holding the small speaker.
A few minutes later, there was a sudden loud blast of gunfire downstairs, and sirens rang throughout the prison.
Chaotic footsteps sounded in the corridor, and the noises affected Shen Xiuzhe’s judgment. He hugged the speaker tightly.
In the next second, the two metal doors standing opposite each other were opened at the same time.
A strong force pulled on Shen Xiuzhe’s arm, and in his ears was a man’s nervous urging, “Come out quickly.”
Shen Xiuzhe took two steps forward and faced a person.
The man made a sound exactly like his, “Is there anything you need to leave with me?”
Shen Xiuzhe pursed his lips and handed over the small speaker.
The male protagonist took it casually and was about to touch it over carefully to make sure what it was.
Before he could take action, he suddenly heard Shen Xiuzhe’s cold voice, “Don’t touch him, he’s mine.”
The male protagonist hummed and was about to stop when he heard Shen Xiuzhe’s instructions again.
“Remember to wipe him down with wet wipes every night and charge him while you eat, three times a day for ten minutes at a time to prevent him from getting hungry or overeating. Listen to the news at five o’clock in the morning. He likes to listen to audiobooks at night. That’s his free time, don’t force him to work. He’s not waterproof, be careful.”
After Shen Xiuzhe finished explaining, he leaned over and kissed Chu Shici, then followed the strange man into the Room 3 opposite.
Male protagonist: ……?
Is it a speaker in his hand or an ancestor??
Wait, did my other self just kiss the speaker???
