“Zhou Jiu may have broken bones.” Yan Leyang added, “Multiple fractures, but no fatal injuries. The interstellar medical system will be able to heal him quickly.”

“Awesome, brother!” Hutch, who was video chatting with Yan Leyang, slapped his thigh, “You didn’t kill him.”

“He couldn’t even stand being beaten. He has never been reformed. If I really slap him to death, who knows if the forces behind him will go crazy.” Yan Leyang sighed, “Besides, I have never killed anyone.”

When Hutch heard him say this, he was silent for a while, then said: “But Brother Yan, I killed someone.”

“What’s going on?” Yan Leyang was surprised.

Hutch gave a brief account of the situation. Some of his men wanted to rebel, and the situation was so urgent that Hutch didn’t even have time to inform others: “To be honest, brother, I don’t know how I solved it. Anyway, I suppressed them, and then killed the leader in front of the rebels.”

“I was calm at the time, but now I’m a little scared.” Hutch scratched his head, “This thing has left a certain psychological trauma on me.”

“You are amazing.” Yan Leyang praised sincerely, “You adapt quickly.”

“It’s a good thing.” Hutch was not the kind of person who would dwell on these things. He was very optimistic and was only temporarily affected. And there was also Zhao Lirong who took care of the situation.

It was a good idea to take advantage of the opportunity, as it could distract his attention.

In short, this topic passed quickly, as Hutch was more interested in Yan Leyang’s mecha, the first mecha that would belong to Yan Leyang himself.

Who hadn’t watched Gundam[1] as a kid? Which boy hadn’t dreamed of having his own plastic figurine?

“It will take some time to manufacture the mecha, and it just so happens that Mr. Bai will come to see me tomorrow.” Yan Leyang couldn’t help scratching his head, “It would be nice to be able to drive a mecha after coming to the interstellar.”

He was video chatting with Hutch here, and Lang Shiyi next door had already started writing in his diary.

This was his new habit, commemorating his life with his lover. Oh, since Lang Shiyi became interested in Yan Leyang, they had to live in separate rooms for the time being.

Lang Shiyi wrote down his thoughts today on the computer by hand, without paying attention to the format, because he had no idea what the correct format was.

[Today we beat someone up together.] Lang Shiyi wrote a poem, [He was also good-looking even when he beat someone up, and his smile was very sweet.]

Today’s record was completed. These were things that he wanted to recall carefully in the future.

….

“You are here.” The little white-haired boy led a man with a ponytail and introduced him to Yan Leyang after seeing him: “This is the teacher in charge of stabilizing data. You can call him Xing.”

“Xing? Hello, Teacher Xing.” Yan Leyang stretched out his hand, but the other party seemed to be slow to react. Yan Leyang’s hand was suspended in the air for about two or three seconds before he shook it.

“Don’t mind, he can’t talk, and his reaction time is very long.” Teacher Bai nodded and asked, “Have you had lunch?”

“Not yet.” Yan Leyang came in a hurry. He originally planned to eat after finishing the test.

“Then let’s go eat.” Teacher Bai took out a card, “Shall we go to the cafeteria?”

“Anything is fine.” Yan Leyang was not picky.

At this time, Xing shook his head.

Yan Leyang looked over and thought that Xing didn’t like the cafeteria, but Teacher Bai continued: “He said he didn’t have lunch. He was answering my last question.”

“Wow.” Yan Leyang nodded, “Pretty cool skill.”

Xing nodded, Yan Leyang looked at Teacher Bai, and Teacher Bai explained: “He agreed to go to the cafeteria.”

Yan Leyang remained silent.

“Oh, by the way.” Teacher Bai reminded Yan Leyang, “Don’t be scared when you eat with Xing.”

“Why?”

“His true form is a starfish.” Teacher Bai seemed to recall some bad memories and couldn’t help frowning. “The way he eats is a bit rough.”

Yan Leyang was stunned.

On the other side, Zhou Jiu was taken back to his base by Black Shadow and then soaked in the repair chamber.

The shadow waited outside, as he knew that his body could heal itself.

“What’s going on?” The long-haired woman crossed her arms and looked at the shadow, “Were you attacked?”

“No.” Black Shadow wiped his mouth, where there were dried blood stains, “Yan Leyang and the others took action.”

[Puchi.] The originally quiet artificial intelligence actually laughed, [Oh my god, he got beaten, right?]

Being able to hear this was a real joy for the artificial intelligence.

The woman did not comment and changed the subject: “Did the master really want to give you to Yan Leyang?”

“It should be true.” Black Shadow had no expression on his face, “But Yan Leyang seems to have been trapped by Lang Shiyi.”

“I’ll go back to find him later.” Black Shadow glanced at the repair chamber. Zhou Jiu inside was unable to speak, and the artificial intelligence was very happy, probably because Zhou Jiu was unable to make a sound.

“This system is the last spark of humanity, and also the ‘hope’ left by humanity.” The woman looked at the host of the system next to her, “But I can’t see any trace of spark in it.”

The shadow didn’t reply.

“I heard that he was once called ‘The Matrix.'” The woman laughed. “I don’t quite understand why.”

As she finished speaking, the voice of the artificial intelligence rang out: [Seriously, don’t you think you deserve this beating? You know that those who ruin other people’s relationships will be struck by lightning?]

[Guess what, to be honest, I think Yan Leyang has a pretty damn good personality. Look, he didn’t even rip your little dick off. If he wanted me to, I would have ripped it off. What the hell.]

The shadow closed his eyes: “I don’t quite understand it either.”

Lang Shiyi drove a hovercraft to the laboratory where Yan Leyang was.

When he saw Yan Leyang in the virtual training room, he almost had a paralyzed expression: “Where are your ears?”

Yan Leyang was sitting in the middle of a huge virtual trainer, in the form of an animal, except that his eyes were wide open, and his entire head looked huge and rounder. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the two ears on the tiger’s head were missing.

“His ears just fell backwards.” The little white-haired boy scratched his head and appeared behind Lang Shiyi, with Xing following beside him: “Yan Leyang was frightened.”

“What happened? Was there an attack?” Lang Shiyi stepped forward and wanted to check Yan Leyang’s body to see if there were any wounds.

Teacher Bai groaned awkwardly: “No, we just went to the cafeteria to have a meal together.”

“Xing is a starfish.” Teacher Bai coughed. “Well, they are echinoderms that only have half-animal form, not complete human form, so there are always some, uh, actions that don’t conform to normal aesthetics.”

Lang Shiyi understood: “So you called me because you scared Yan Leyang?”

“Yes, he turned into a beast and hid in a corner trembling.” Teacher Bai also blamed himself, “This is my fault. I was also scared when I first saw Xing.”

When starfish ate, they spat out their stomach and then wrapped up the digested food in it.

At that moment, Yan Leyang thought he had traveled into the world of Cthulhu[2].
