“Your necklace?” Yan Leyang looked at the blue necklace around Lang Shiyi’s neck in confusion.

How should he put it? In the original text, this necklace was the core of Lang Shiyi, that was, the heart of Lang Shiyi. But now the heart was flashing and becoming brighter and brighter.

“What’s wrong with you?” Yan Leyang stepped back a little in surprise. He didn’t know if it was his imagination. After he stepped away, the light of the necklace dimmed a little.

Lang Shiyi also looked surprised: “I don’t know.”

He reached out and held the necklace and shook it: “It has never had such a malfunction.”

“Are you feeling any discomfort?” Yan Leyang subconsciously reached out and touched Lang Shiyi’s forehead.

Lang Shiyi put the necklace in his hand, and when he saw the light in his hand getting brighter, he looked sharply at Yan Leyang.

“No discomfort.” Lang Shiyi put the necklace through his collar and coughed calmly, “This is a normal reaction.”

“Normal?” Yan Leyang was confused, “Has something like this happened before?”

“It’s just that the energy is unstable.” Lang Shiyi remained calm, but only he knew the collapse in his heart.

It’s over, Lang Shiyi thought, he might really have a little interest in Yan Leyang.

“When the energy is unstable, it will flash, but it will not affect my body.” Lang Shiyi paused here, and then looked at Yan Leyang, “So you may not know. After all, it does not affect combat effectiveness. So, this thing should be written into the book.”

“Written in a book? What is written in a book?” Luo Ma looked at Yan Leyang excitedly. Yan Leyang did not say a word, and Lang Shiyi did not move either.

Luo Ma was a little disappointed: “What are you doing, talking in a secret code!”

Yan Leyang didn’t ask any more questions, but Lang Shiyi was restless and hurried back to his room after eating.

After closing the door, Lang Shiyi took out his necklace. Now the necklace had returned to normal and looked like an ordinary blue gem.

So was it possible that it was a malfunction just now?

“Lang Shiyi! Are you feeling unwell?” Luo Ma asked loudly from outside. Lang Shiyi didn’t turn on the soundproofing, so he could hear it.

“It’s not uncomfortable.” Lang Shiyi was a little irritated.

“Are you sure?” This time the voice was Yan Leyang’s.

The necklace flashed and began to glow again.

…Lang Shiyi closed his eyes, feeling even more irritated: “I’m fine.”

All this happened too suddenly, and he was not mentally prepared: “I’ll take a nap and take a rest.”

Yan Leyang felt something was wrong, but Lang Shiyi refused to say anything.

After everyone had finished eating and Luo Ma and Dai Zu rushed to catch up on their sleep, Yan Leyang wanted to find Lang Shiyi, but was interrupted by the ringing from his optical brain.

The person who called him didn’t have a note, just a code.

Yan Leyang frowned, first pressed the option of optical brain recording, and then answered.

“Hello, Mr. Yan.” On the virtual projection was a black-haired man, who happened to be the one sitting next to Yan Leyang in the Thunder City underground fighting arena. He mentioned human beings inexplicably, and his smile was also very hypocritical, “My name is Zhou Jiu.”

Yan Leyang didn’t smile, he just raised his eyebrows, imitating Lang Shiyi’s facial paralysis, and made an incomprehensible expression: “If you have anything to do, tell me.”

“I’m very interested in your novels.” The man chuckled, “I want to ask you a few questions. Do you have time?”

“You mean about earth?” Yan Leyang smiled evilly and took off his apron.

The man’s smile became smaller: “You really know a lot.”

“Are you a human?” Yan Leyang asked, “Where are you from?”

The man said nothing.

“You can’t have lived from the time of the earth’s destruction to now, right?” Yan Leyang was surprised.

According to the settings of general conspiracy theories, this man was most likely a relic who had lived from the time of the human civilization to the present. As for how he survived: “Are you still a human being?”

“No.” The man denied, “You overestimate me.”

Another voice sounded from the man’s side. It was a male voice, but the tone was very calm. It was probably an artificial intelligence: [Have you lived from the time of the earth’s destruction to now? You really think highly of him, he has never even seen what the earth looks like…]

“Is that your artificial intelligence?” Yan Leyang asked.

The artificial intelligence on the other end was very happy [Did you hear that? Hello brother, you look really good.] The artificial intelligence praised, [It’s a pity that someone like you doesn’t go to be a star.]

[But yes, who uses real actors in this day and age? Do you think AI Taka is right? But I think you can still develop in this field…]

[Really, you don’t have to worry about eating like this. Good guy, everybody will be amazed every time they see you.]

[If I weren’t a bunch of data, I’d really like to buy you a drink and maybe we could have something else happen, you know.]

“Your artificial intelligence is very lively.” Yan Leyang praised.

“Thank you.” Zhou Jiu put on his trademark smile, silently picked up the teacup from the side and threw it behind him.

Which was accompanied by a bang.

The AI started screaming [Sh*t! What are you doing to me! You actually threw a cup at me? My loyalty to you is in vain. Really, as a master, you are so rubbish!]

[You should learn to be a good leader, not a villain who throws things when angry!] This time the artificial intelligence’s tone was much richer, and it was impassioned when it came to cursing people.

Villain? Yan Leyang gradually lost his expression: “Uh.”

“I’m on the phone, bast**d! Do you have to interrupt?!” Zhou Jiu collapsed.

[Hey, that’s funny. This handsome guy discovered me by himself. He came over to say hello out of politeness. Why did you react so much?]

“What kind of artificial intelligence are you talking about?!” Zhou Jiu was so angry that he wanted to dismantle the system, “Responsiveness like rubbish! I’m confronting someone here, and you, as a data, are actually flirting?! Rubbish!”

[I’m not considered artificial intelligence?! Can you find a second intelligence more advanced than me in this world? See what bulls**t you said?!]

“As long as there is an artificial intelligence in this world, it will be easier to use than you.”

“Stop arguing.” Yan Leyang advised, “Peace is the most important thing.”

[As long as it’s an artificial intelligence, it’s better than me? Are they smarter than me?! I’m even smart enough to argue with you here now!]

[I can still scold you! Sh*t!]

[As data, being able to tease shows that I am advanced! Do you understand this garbage stuff? I don’t know how to identify myself.]

Zhou Jiu took a deep breath, turned around and said sorry to Yan Leyang, I will contact you again later, and then hung up the communication.

Wow, Yan Leyang shrugged his shoulders.

Although, there was one thing to say, that artificial intelligence was indeed smart enough, especially when it cursed people, it sounded particularly vivid.

And his assessment of Mr. Zhou Jiu may have to be changed.

After saving the video, Yan Leyang went to find Lang Shiyi.

After knocking on the door, Lang Shiyi said please come in. This was a subconscious reaction, and by the time Lang Shiyi wanted to regret it, it was already too late.

Yan Leyang walked in and found Lang Shiyi sitting on the bed, holding the necklace in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

“Are you sure it’s okay?” Yan Leyang sat next to Lang Shiyi, “Will the plot change and what impact will it have on you?”

“There is an impact.” Lang Shiyi said in a low voice, “It maybe a little big.”

“Do you mind telling me?” Yan Leyang asked again.

Lang Shiyi was silent for a while and then shook his head silently.

I don’t want to say it.

Yan Leyang was silent for a while and continued: “You should know that your bloodline is not simple. There are people in the wolf clan who want you dead.”

“Yeah.” That was to say, the other party’s trouble-making indirectly contributed to Lang Shiyi becoming the leader of the wolf clan.

“Can you solve your physical problems by yourself?” Yan Leyang asked again.

“I tried my best, I just tried every part of my body. There’s no problem.”

“Does that mean it’s just your ‘heart’ that’s malfunctioning?” This was even more bizarre. “You just said it would be like this before. You lied to me, right?”

“Yeah.” Lang Shiyi lowered his head like breaking a broken jar: “Actually, I probably know what is going on.”

“I think it might be because I like you.” After Lang Shiyi finished speaking, the necklace on his hand flashed several times.

“Like me, yes, let’s start from liking me… Hi, wait?!” Yan Leyang suddenly raised his voice, “What are you talking about?”

“I said I might like you.” Lang Shiyi repeated honestly, “You disturbed my orientation.”

“Wait a minute!” Yan Leyang interrupted him, “What did you say?!”

Lang Shiyi did not repeat it this time, but asked: “Is there something wrong with your ears?”

“No, I suspect there is something wrong with your brain.” Yan Leyang took a deep breath, “This shouldn’t be the case.”

“Look.” Lang Shiyi held Yan Leyang’s hand.

Then the necklace became unresponsive.

Yan Leyang’s originally flustered mood calmed down. He breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little disappointed. Yan Leyang tried his best to ignore the disappointment: “No, I think it may be other reasons. How could you think of it?”

“It shouldn’t be.” Lang Shiyi shook the necklace, “I’m sure.” He would feel his ears warm when the necklace changed.

“Maybe your handshake just now was too perfunctory?” Yan Leyang smiled, trying to break the awkward atmosphere, “How about I add some spice to it?”

Lang Shiyi looked at the necklace and said nothing.

Yan Leyang suddenly hugged Lang Shiyi’s waist, and Lang Shiyi opened his eyes wide. As a result, Yan Leyang looked into Lang Shiyi’s eyes and reached out to touch Lang Shiyi’s face.

He began to sing with his out-of-tune broken gong voice: “You ask me how deeply I love you, how much do I love you.”

It must be said that the lethality of this voice is quite terrifying. Yan Leyang himself couldn’t bear to listen.

He took a look at the necklace. It was still blue, like an ordinary gem.

Sure enough, it was not liking… suddenly! The necklace flashed for a moment, and then the light grew brighter, illuminating the entire room.

Yan Leyang was not prepared for a moment and screamed: “My eyes!!”

“Yan Leyang!!” Lang Shiyi shouted nervously.
