Recap
After Shen Xiuzhe finished talking, 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???
___
Chu Shici was carried into the room by the male protagonist, and the metal door closed behind them with a bang.
After coming to this world, Chu Shici was also a little sad when he was separated from Zhe-ge for the first time.
The commotion outside hadn’t stopped yet, so the male protagonist put him aside and prepared to go to bed.
As Chu Shici was contemplating what to say, the male protagonist came back.
He stood in front of the table and said condescendingly to the small speaker: “Classmate Xiao Ai.”
Chu Shici: …?
After waiting for a while and not getting an answer, the male protagonist charged the small speaker and called out, “Classmate Xiao Ai.”
Chu Shici looked at him blankly.
The man pursed his thin lips tightly, looking a little impatient.
“Xiaoyun Xiaoyun. Teacher Honghong. Butler Lanlan.”
Only then did Chu Shici realize that the male protagonist was looking for the word to start up the smart speaker.
There are quite a lot of smart voice speakers in this world. The male protagonist tried more than a dozen in succession, but none of them worked.
Finally, Chu Shici couldn’t stand it any longer, he opened his mouth and tried to say: “You can call me classmate Ah Ci.”
The male protagonist’s eyes were also covered with a piece of white cloth that was exactly the same as Shen Xiuzhe’s.
He reached out and carefully touched the small speaker, looking for the button on it.
Chu Shici felt a little headache when he looked at the piece of cloth.
According to his and Zhe-ge’s previous speculations, the real Shen Xiuzhe should have been blind the entire time after entering the virtual prison.
The eyes of the artificial person will be taken at a certain point in time as the main plot of the prison progresses.
So it’s actually quite easy to tell who the real Shen Xiuzhe is.
When the next cycle starts, if Zhe-ge’s eyes return to normal, then he is an artificial person. If he is still blind, it means he is not affected by the main plot loop and is a real Shen Xiuzhe.
After the virtual prison was built, the ‘chickens’ sent in by the big boss were all locked in rooms with confusing room numbers. These rooms are not affected by the cycle.
Room 3, where Chu Shici is currently in, was a room outside the cycle.
When the male protagonist enters this room, he will be able to exit the endless cycle. He has no way to determine whether he is a real person through the changes in the male protagonist’s eyes, so he can only start from other places.
However, the male protagonist looked so much like Zhe-ge. The more Chu Shici looked at him, the more unreal he felt.
The male protagonist leaned down, and the face that looked like his Zhe-ge was right in front of him.
One person and one box were very close, the CP leader covered Chu Shici’s eyes, [This is a cult!!! Mom won’t allow you to follow a cult!]
Chu Shici pulled the system aside and said, ‘Don’t make trouble.’
[Mom, don’t allow it. If your husband knows, he will cry.]
The system was so addicted to CP that Chu Shici didn’t bother to care about it. As the male protagonist approached, he stretched his neck out, trying to peek underneath the white cloth.
Chu Shici remembered that after the male protagonist moved into Room 3, he seemed to have been taken out twice by Brother Liu. If the story follows the main storyline, he should have lost his eyes during that time.
The gap was too small and Chu Shici could not see anything under the white cloth.
But since Brother Liu wants the two Shen Xiuzhes to look the same, he will definitely not let only one of them have eyes.
Chu Shici was still thinking, and the male protagonist, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked coldly: “Classmate Ah Ci.”
Chu Shici replied, “I’m here.”
The male protagonist fumbled with his fingers on the casing for a while, “Are you able to connect to a USB flash drive?”
“This mode is not supported.”
“Are you able to connect to the network?”
“This mode is supported. The network is not detected in the current environment and cannot be connected.”
The gunshots outside still did not stop, and the sounds in the corridor became more and more noisy.
Under Chu Shici’s gaze, the face he was very familiar with showed obvious annoyance. The male protagonist sighed and murmured in a cold voice, “It’s so noisy.”
He stood up and paced around the room. After walking a few steps, he turned back and continued to study the small speaker.
Chu Shici didn’t understand it at first, but after watching for a while, he understood what he was doing.
The male protagonist thought that his other self had left a speaker for him because he had hidden something in the speaker.
His expression was serious, as if he was repeatedly analyzing what Shen Xiuzhe had said before, trying to find a special clue.
However, Shen Xiuzhe’s purpose was very simple. He just hoped that his other self could take good care of his wife.
The male protagonist thought long and hard for five to six minutes, his face flushed red, and even his brows were scrunched up. He charged the small speaker and gave him a bath with wet wipes.
Both he and Zhe-ge look exactly the same, but his temper is obviously much more volatile than that of Zhe-ge. After several attempts to no avail, he became a little impatient and even wanted to violently dismantle the speaker.
After being tormented by him for a long time, Chu Shici lay on the table with his head hanging down.
The system dragged his soul into the system space, held his face and shook his head, [Poor little boy.]
‘I was worried before that I wouldn’t be able to tell which one was my husband. Now I realize that my worries were unnecessary. There is such a big difference in their personalities, they are obviously two distinct people.’
[He is very impatient, but your husband always has a good temper. They truly complement each other. It’s really edible!]
‘My good brother, don’t eat this kind of evil CP. Putting the two together will definitely lead to a fight, and when the time comes the male lead will be put in jail.’
The system chuckled and started talking to him on a more serious topic.
[Why did you suddenly pretend to be a real smart speaker?]
‘He first called me classmate Xiao Ai and all those other names. It’s clear he only sees me as a smart speaker, so I just followed suit.’
‘He is dishonest and I don’t trust him. Disguised as a speaker, he won’t be wary of me. This is my trump card. When the time is right or when I am sure that he is not a threat, I will tell him the truth.’
In the middle of speaking, Chu Shici turned around and suddenly saw the male protagonist holding the speaker to his mouth, apparently wanting to kiss it.
Chu Shici was so frightened that he wanted to run away immediately.
The moment his lips were about to touch the speaker, the man stopped and sighed silently: “I should have thought of it earlier…Classmate Ah Ci.”
Chu Shici leaned back and said, “Yes.”
“Have you set up a lip unlock?”
“Sorry, this feature is beyond my capabilities.”
The man clicked his tongue, “Why did he kiss you just now?”
Chu Shici: …
Because they are in a relationship.
Non-human love is clearly not in the male protagonist’s head. Determined that it was not lip unlocking, and unable to find any other way to unlock it, the male protagonist became increasingly irritated.
The clues were in front of him, but he couldn’t figure it out. Chu Shici could understand his irritability.
Previously, the note man hid the USB flash drive in a bun and wrapped it with a layer of plastic wrap. There was too much oil on it and it was impossible to tear it apart. When the plastic wrap was finally removed, Zhe-ge’s expression was so angry that he twisted it.
But Chu Shici really had nothing to say. He was just a small speaker used to listen to news.
When the male protagonist was about to explode, he decided to introduce his functions so that the male protagonist should not have unrealistic illusions.
“You can try talking to me, playing music, playing the news, setting alarm clocks, making memos, etc. I am a movable speaker that can move to your location based on the sound.”
The male protagonist was silent for a moment, “Play the contents of the memo.”
The male protagonist is stubborn and insists on squeezing something out of the small speaker. Chu Shici simply read out his notes.
“Entry 1: To prevent others from seeing anything out of the ordinary, you need to hold the small speaker at all times except when taking a shower, and be careful not to let others touch it. I rarely talk, so you don’t need to pay attention to them”
The male protagonist listened very carefully, “No more?”
Chu Shici said nothing, pretending that he was a real speaker.
The male protagonist’s face still had no expression, but he looked a little disappointed.
He went to bed holding the small speaker. He felt that the thing was cold and hard and had a bad feel.
It’s only been ten minutes since they changed rooms. The prison has not yet dealt with the rioting rats. The male protagonist is tossed and turned, not knowing where to put the speaker. It feels uncomfortable wherever he puts it.
Chu Shici was annoyed. He was about to curse a few words secretly, but when he saw that face, his anger subsided again.
He stared at the male protagonist’s face, feeling more calm as he thought about a certain someone.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the metal door was finally opened. The fat steward walked in aggressively with his men.
At that moment, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The fat steward walked to the bed and lifted the quilt.
The male protagonist was lying on his side on the bed, curling up slightly while holding the small speaker. He tilted his head and said in a cold tone without any warmth, “Is something wrong?”
His eyes swept over the man inch by inch, and finally fell on the small speaker in his arms. The fat steward gave a sneer and said casually: “Why are you still holding the speaker when you sleep?”
After he finished speaking, he reached out to take it.
The male protagonist retracted his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then warned: “It’s mine!”
He hid it well, and the fat steward didn’t notice his hesitation.
He led his men around the room a few times, and then asked the male protagonist a few questions. The male protagonist paid no attention to anyone, and the fat steward was very satisfied with his attitude.
Chu Shici watched the whole process and had a bad feeling.
Zhe-ge doesn’t like talking to strangers. He is a person of few words and he rarely pays attention to others.
But the male protagonist and Zhe-ge have very different temperaments. After a while, the fat steward goes to the opposite room. What should Zhe-ge do?
Chu Shici was in a hurry, but he couldn’t help. He could only rely on Zhe-ge to improvise.
The metal door was closed again, someone locked it from the outside.
The crisis was temporarily lifted, the plan played through the male protagonist’s mind. As long as Shen Xiuzhe, who was staying in the room opposite, didn’t make any mistakes, there would be no problems with the plan.
They are the same person, so he believed that that person wasn’t hopelessly stupid.
After confirming that the plan was going according to plan, the man picked up the small speaker again.
So why did my other self just kiss the speaker?
There must be some special intention to doing that kind of thing at that crucial moment.
Listening to the noise outside, when everyone entered the opposite room, he lowered his voice and asked, “Classmate Ah Ci?”
The clear and pleasant male voice quickly responded, “I’m here.”
There are not many brands of smart speakers that he has not come into contact with. The voice package of this speaker is the best among all the voices he has ever heard.
There is a smile in the voice, gentle and sunny, and it sounds very comfortable.
The man thought for a long time, “Why did he kiss you?”
It was just the second time he asked this question. Chu Shici felt that he couldn’t get it over with if he continued making up an excuse.
Chu Shici decided to tell the truth, “I am Zhe-ge’s lover. Zhe-ge said this was a farewell kiss.”
“Zhe-ge?”
“You can set an exclusive custom title for me. Please set it after the beep.”
The man calmed down, he was doubting life.
A lover? A speaker?
Tsk.
Exactly the same circumstance, the same person. Yet this man was able to dig out a small talking speaker somewhere, but he couldn’t.
Seeing that the male protagonist was silent, Chu Shici thought that his curiosity was finally satisfied. He was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, but he heard the male protagonist calling “Classmate Ah Ci” again. ’
Chu Shici replied wearily, “I’m here.”
“Set my own custom title.”
“Beep–“
Having just completed an important step in his plan, the man was in a good mood and gradually relaxed. Faced with artificial retardation, he spoke his mind.
“My name was given by my enemy. Thinking of him makes me sick. From now on, I will change my name to Chengan and refer to me as Brother An.”
Chu Shici: ?
The names thought up by Zhe-ge are all Xiaobai, Qiuqiu, and Fangfang.
The male protagonist actually named himself Shen Chengan?
There is absolutely no way they are the same person, for sure.

Listening to the sound of the metal door closing, Shen Xiuzhe sat alone in the room. There is nothing in his arms.
Shen Xiuzhe touched his finger. He still remembered the scene where Ah Ci used the charging cable to hook up with his pinky and promised him.
He carries a small speaker with him wherever he goes, as if they have been together forever. This is the first time they have been apart for so long.
Shen Xiuzhe counted the seconds in his mind. They had been separated for ten minutes.
There was a lot of noise in the corridor, but the room was eerily quiet. In a cold voice, he called “Ah Ci”.
After waiting for a long time, no one answered.
Shen Xiuzhe pursed his lips, returned to bed and covered himself with the quilt.
He didn’t know how long it took, but there was the sound of the metal door opening from the opposite room. It was the fat steward who went in, and Shen Xiuzhe knew it would be his turn soon.
He wiped away the tears on his face, replaced it with a dry white cloth, and turned sideways to cover his face.
After the fat steward had finished asking his other self in the opposite room, he opened the door and walked in. He turned on the light and saw someone lying on the bed.
Like Room 3, the person in this room was motionless, like a breathing corpse.
The fat steward walked over and lifted the quilt.
The man who looked exactly like the one before turned to face him and asked him coldly: “Is there something wrong?”
The fat steward held a small speaker about the same size as Chu Shici and handed it into Shen Xiuzhe’s arms.
He patted the speaker and said, “You left your things in that room.”
Shen Xiuzhe’s body froze for a moment, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, but forced himself to hold back.
He held the speaker, and instantly knew that it was not his Ah Ci.
He played with the speaker twice and put it aside.
Originally, Shen Xiuzhe thought that this was enough, but he found that the fat steward had not moved, and he did not intend to leave.
Realizing that something was wrong, Shen Xiuzhe quickly recalled the recordings he had heard before.
He noticed one thing, the way his other self spoke was slightly different. This shows that there are some differences in their personalities and behaviors.
In less than half a second, Shen Xiuzhe made a decision.
He tilted his head slightly and sneered, “What are you still doing here? Why don’t you get out.”
At this time, the corridor had become quiet, and Shen Xiuzhe could hear every subtle sound in the room.
The fat steward was standing beside his bed, very close to him.
While noting the changes in his breathing rate, Shen Xiuzhe spoke in a condescending and sarcastic tone, “It was so lively just now. Did a rat escape? Why are you still here? Are you here to show me what a joke you are?”
The fat steward narrowed his eyes, “You just…”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Xiuzhe, “Get out. Don’t disrupt my rest.”
It was obvious that he had raised his voice at him, but the fat steward’s expression relaxed.
He didn’t say anything, took the stand-in speaker, and left the room with a smile.
The metal door closed again, and Shen Xiuzhe’s body gradually relaxed as he heard the footsteps walking away.
It can be heard from the recording that the other ‘Shen Xiuzhe’ has a more impatient temper, with a sense of arrogance that cannot be concealed. He looks down on artificial people, and everyone else.
Shen Xiuzhe made a comparison in his head and felt that he was much better than that person in all aspects.
When everyone was gone, Shen Xiuzhe pressed himself up against the metal door and listened to what was going on outside.
The room was well soundproofed, and he didn’t know what was going on on the other side.
He knows that person must have touched Ah Ci’s smooth outer shell and is sleeping with him in his arms.
His backstory was also very pitiful, and Ah Ci might still comfort that man as gently as he comforted him before.
Will Ah Ci use his cable to hook up with others? Will Ah Ci wipe his tears and teach him how to play adult games?
Those were originally his alone.
Shen Xiuzhe pursed his lips and silently returned to bed.
At the same time, Chu Shici, who was tolerating the male protagonist, heard the system prompt.
[The vitality value is reduced by 5 points, and the current vitality value is 73/100.]
Zhe-ge was over there thinking wildly, and his vitality was draining away quickly. The male protagonist here pokes the small speaker again and asks him to tell him a story.
Chu Shici: …
As expected, he is only suitable for 1v1.
It’s really tiring to coax two men at the same time.
