“Help!” A man with a big beard huddled in the corner. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and looked quite funny when huddled up.

The man’s clothes were covered in blood. He covered his mouth with one hand, gasping uncontrollably but not daring to make a sound. While his tears were falling.

The man was a desperado and had long since become indifferent to life and death. But this time, what they met was not a human, but a demon.

While sailing, their starship encountered a small civilian starship with only one person on board.

The civilian starship did not run away after seeing them, but by the time they realized it after hijacking the other starship, it was too late.

With a bang, the table above the man’s head was slapped, and a pair of legs appeared in the man’s field of vision. The person squatted down, and the man could not see the other person’s face clearly. On the other person’s head was a mask that he bought from somewhere, as if as a joke.

It looked ostentatious and cheap, and the white artificial feathers had become dirty, but those eyes were so scary that the man could no longer control the scream that was suppressed in his throat.

But he couldn’t scream in the end because the man opposite him grabbed his mouth.

“Let me count, how many people you have killed.” Lang Shiyi’s voice was rough and hoarse, making the man opposite tremble.

The man stared at Lang Shiyi. Although Lang Shiyi was tall, he was not as big as the man. The man couldn’t even figure out how this guy lifted him up.

Was this guy a cyborg? The man said, “I don’t want to, I don’t want to.”

Lang Shiyi stopped moving, as if he had taken the man’s words in. The man seized the opportunity and quickly explained: “I really didn’t want to do this! The Alliance killed my wife, and I’m the only one left. I wanted revenge! I wanted revenge on the Alliance!”

“So you took action?” Lang Shiyi looked at the man coldly, “You killed someone, right?”

Lang Shiyi had investigated and found that these people had participated in the orphanage massacre more than ten years ago, and this man was also one of them. Lang Shiyi coldly tightened his grip, strangling the man so that he could not breathe.

“You are in pain, you are uncomfortable, and you want to take revenge on the alliance. What does this have to do with me? Why should I let you go because of this?” Lang Shiyi’s voice was very flat. He was also calm and expressionless as he watched the man faint.

Lang Shiyi abandoned the man. He did not kill anyone. All the people on the starship had just fainted. Lang Shiyi just swept away all their property and threw those things out as space garbage.

Then he pressed the distress button, and the people who were in contact with the mothership of the starship would come over. And now there was a theft, so it was obvious that these pirates had been ambushed.

In order not to expose themselves, the mother body would take action.

In fact, Lang Shiyi didn’t really like the so-called kindness of the interstellar people.

They always used the same excuse, that although he was a criminal, that was because in the past, he had not received kindness in this world, so he could not return kindness.

Lang Shiyi got back on his starship and looked back before leaving.

He didn’t want to know about the tragic past of these beasts. He only knew that the children in the orphanage should have had a future of their own.

“Go to hell.” Lang Shiyi said silently. He then took off his mask and wiped the blood off his face.

The light on the control panel was a cold blue, falling on Lang Shiyi’s angular face, making him look even more gloomy and indifferent.

Ding, Yan Leyang’s message came.

[Have you finished? Change your face and come over to join me! Let’s scare this grandson together.]

The corner of Lang Shiyi’s mouth twitched. He felt that Yan Leyang sent the message at an inappropriate time and interrupted his thoughts. However, even so, he quickly replied with a “good”!

When the black shadow arrived there, he was faced with a ground covered in blood and a group of pirates lying on the ground, their life and death unknown.

The shadow frowned and put his hand on the neck of the pirate closest to him. He felt his hand’s pulse beating and couldn’t help but sigh: “Not all of them are dead yet.”

[Then just kill them.] The artificial idiot attached to his optical brain said: [I don’t know if these guys have been asked anything incredible, there’s no point in keeping them.]

The artificial idiot finished speaking, but the black shadow did not respond.

After waiting for a long time, the artificial idiot became a little impatient: [Hey, hey, hey, little shark, don’t you want your mother’s position anymore?]

“She is not my mother, and I am an aquatic creature. The Land Carnivore Alliance will not give this position to me.” The shadow saw it clearly, “No matter which aspect you talk about, it is impossible.”

[But I can give you the form of other beasts.] The artificial idiot tempted, [It only takes one experiment, you know what I mean.]

Shadow’s fingers trembled, but he didn’t reply.

After a long time, Shadow asked, “Is there any danger?”

[Of course.] The artificial idiot was justified, [There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, you will die very quickly, but this is also normal, after all, who makes a wish without paying a price?]

“Okay.” Shadow agreed, “I understand.”

Later, Yan Leyang pulled Zhou Jiu’s collar very rudely and pulled Zhou Jiu away.

They met other orcs outside the cinema. When the orcs saw the appearance of the two men and the collar and muzzle on Yan Leyang, which symbolized that he was a carnivorous orc, they stayed away from him.

Some people politely asked Zhou Jiu if he needed help, but Zhou Jiu refused.

In fact, Zhou Jiu was a little confused, and his mind was still a little dazed. He didn’t know this man, but this man understood humans?

His location was easy to find, but how did this man break through all the obstacles and come to him? All of this was very abnormal, and the more Zhou Jiu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

After being completely dragged out of the theater, Zhou Jiu reacted and tried to break free: “Where are you taking me?!”

“I just want to know.” Yan Leyang waved his hand and let Zhou Jiu stand up straight. Yan Leyang still remembered this guy’s arrogant attitude at the beginning as he continued to ask: “What do you think orcs are?”

“A bunch of inferior imitations.” Zhou Jiu patted his clothes unhappily and looked up at Yan Leyang: “What’s wrong? Mr. Tian thinks something is wrong?”

“I think Mr. Tian has figured out my race.” Zhou Jiu adjusted his collar. “Yes, I am a human, the last human.”

He pointed at the people walking around him.

The two of them standing here were quite conspicuous. The average height of the Rabbit Tribe was only 1.5 to 1.9 meters, so people passing by couldn’t help but look at them.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiu lowered his volume: “They are not human, but they have human form. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? They are just imitating human social habits. I can’t empathize with them. People don’t need to empathize with animals because people are people and animals are beasts.”

“If Mr. Tian came here to teach me a lesson, then there is no need to do so.” Zhou Jiu pulled his face, “I don’t think I am superior, but if you want to teach me a lesson? You are not qualified.”

Zhou Jiu raised his head, and it was obvious that he was a little annoyed by Yan Leyang’s behavior of dragging him out. On the other hand, Yan Leyan, who was opposite him, seemed particularly calm: “Then how is your nobility different from mine?”

The orc civilization in this world developed after the extinction of humans. It was very likely that the development of orc civilization also involved the humans in the “Spark” plan, such as language and writing, and even technological development.

In the previous world, humans were not that good. There were still many perverts in the world, both humans and animals. But humans were also much more tolerant than they thought.

After all, orcs were quickly accepted into human society. Even though they were a little abnormal, they were indeed all lovely people.

Without waiting for Zhou Jiu to answer, Yan Leyang immediately asked: “Have you ever thought that you are not actually human?”

Zhou Jiu was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn’t reacted. When he came to his senses, he couldn’t help but sneer: “You want to tell me that I’m not human? Where’s the evidence?”

“Perhaps you don’t know that when humans were still alive, there was another type of creature in the world called monkey.” Yan Leyang pointed at Zhou Jiu, “You are the most common species among them, a macaque.”

If Zhou Jiu had not been so sure that he could not beat the other man, and that the other man was quite mysterious, he would have taken action long ago. He felt that the man opposite him was humiliating him.

“You don’t have a beast form because you’re not even an orc.” Yan Leyang finally laughed. “After all, you are something that the Matrix created through blind experiments.”

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Yan Leyang stepped back, “As if you want to bite me. Oh, by the way, if I’m not mistaken, you may not be the so-called last ‘human’. After all, weren’t you the one who created all those Sebs?”

“Human blood is not allowed to be defiled, and the system does not allow any action against humans. This is their principle and cannot be violated.” Zhou Jiu reminded.

“So you are not a human being. You are a monkey that came out of a canned production line. You are an animal in the true sense, but your ‘mother’ must have spent a lot of effort to make you sensible.”

Yan Leyang jumped to his left and avoided Zhou Jiu’s attack: “Your attack was so strong, I thought you were going to steal my things. Let me tell you, sometimes monkeys are prone to getting too much.”

“Don’t compare me to a beast!!” Zhou Jiu pounced on him again, but this time Yan Leyang grabbed his neck.

“Ah! First, sir!” A passing rabbit orc raised his head and looked at the huge Yan Leyang, “What are you doing?”

Yan Leyang turned around and saw a little girl, smiling brightly: “Ah, sorry to scare you, this gentleman suddenly attacked me, shouting something like human beings, inferior people, etc. This is my first time in this city, can you help me call a hospital?”

Yan Leyang pointed to his temple, implying that the man opposite him might have something wrong with his brain.

The little girl glanced at Zhou Jiu who was staring at her. She had been watching him for a long time and it was indeed this man who started the fight first. Until the tall man was forced to stop him.

So she nodded and really took out her optical brain to make a call.

“Bast**d!” Zhou Jiu cursed.

“Be honest, you are not incapable of escaping from the hospital.” Yan Leyang pulled Zhou Jiu closer and lowered his voice: “It’s easy to prove whether you are a real human. Can’t you just go find a copy of yourself?”

“Are you kidding?” Zhou Jiu gritted his teeth, “Why would I do this?”

“Why not? After all, the ‘Spark’ system is a human system. It will not go against the explicit orders of humans, right? He doesn’t seem to be respectful to you at all.” Yan Leyang looked at Zhou Jiu with a smile, and sure enough, Zhou Jiu’s facial muscles trembled slightly.

But he still didn’t show any other expression and pretended to be serious.

“I’m actually very curious as to why you reacted so strongly.” Yan Leyang continued, “After all, if you were 100% sure that you were a human, you would think I was talking nonsense. You are so angry, what do you want to prove?”

“Have you been to all places in your base? There is no so-called ‘restricted area’ that is not open to you.”

“But you are the last human being, and this is something left behind by humans. Why can’t you go in?”

“Why does the system talk to you so rudely? You are a human being after all.”

“Ha.” Zhou Jiu said disdainfully, “This is just your guess.”

“Whether it’s a guess or not, just know it in your heart.” Yan Leyang patted Zhou Jiu’s chest. “You have my contact information in your optical brain.”

When did he do that?! Zhou Jiu was a little surprised, but Yan Leyang didn’t give him time to check: “Contact me when you figure it out.”

At the same time, the ambulance arrived. It was said that there was a mentally ill patient here and their aggressiveness was being recorded, so a group of well-dressed men got off the car. Each of them was very tall such that it was obvious that they were not from the Rabbit Tribe.

After the girl on the phone identified Zhou Jiu, they simply electrocuted him and forced him into the car.

Yan Leyang watched the ambulance go away and gave the girl a friendly smile: “Thank you, otherwise I really don’t know what to do.”

“No, you’re welcome.” The girl was very nervous, mainly because Yan Leyang was such a big guy. Although he looked very masculine and handsome, he looked like a gangster no matter how you looked at him. It was inexplicably cute when this kind of person apologized.

Realizing her thoughts, the girl left in a hurry. Yan Leyang watched her back and scratched his head: “I have to stay for a while.”

Yan Leyang rented a hotel nearby and waited for Lang Shiyi to come.

At nine o’clock in the evening, Yan Leyang received news from Lang Shiyi that he was about to arrive.

So, he hurried downstairs and found a place to buy two cold drinks. Yan Leyang sent the location to Lang Shiyi and squatted on the curb with the two drinks waiting for someone.

His face now was too eye-catching, the kind that was frighteningly eye-catching.

Many people would subconsciously shudder when they noticed Yan Leyang at night. Rabbits were timid by nature, and Yan Leyang was so big, almost two meters tall! Even when he squatted, he was almost as tall as some rabbits standing, and his face looked so fierce.

It felt like this big guy could easily strangle them to death with his bare hands even if he wore a muzzle.

What was he doing with those two drinks? He was not drinking them. He looked like he was waiting for someone.

In fact, some herbivores did yearn for carnivores. The ferocious “wildness” of carnivores was something that herbivores did not possess, but this wildness looked very sexy, regardless of gender.

But it was okay for everyone to just talk about it online, but in real life, no one dared to approach it. If it was an ordinary carnivore, it was still okay, but for ones like the one squatting on the curb, just one look at them would scare them so much that their legs would tremble.

Some people pretended to be doing their own things but actually kept observing him secretly. Among the people observing secretly were the police of their rabbit tribe, in order to prevent the tall carnivore from attacking the public, although such things rarely happened recently.

Then, they saw another carnivorous orc walking towards them from a distance. The orc looked very ordinary, but his inexplicable demeanor gave people a very dangerous feeling.

Yan Leyang also saw Lang Shiyi from a distance. Lang Shiyi had a different face just like him, but Yan Leyang recognized the look in Lang Shiyi’s eyes, especially when Lang Shiyi looked at him.

He was holding flowers in his hands, yellow and white chrysanthemums, and Yan Leyang’s heart skipped a beat.

Come to think of it, Lang Shiyi should be unhappy now.

Thinking like this, Yan Leyang stood up quickly.

The policeman who was staring at Yan Leyang urgently grabbed the gun at his side and then saw the tall orc running towards another black-haired orc, followed by a big hug.

Before Yan Leyang hugged Lang Shiyi, Lang Shiyi opened his arms to prevent Yan Leyang from breaking the flowers in his hand.

Police officers watching: …Huh?

Yan Leyang reached out and patted Lang Shiyi on the back: “It’s all over.”

“Yeah.” Lang Shiyi knew what Yan Leyang was talking about.

The two of them hugged each other on the street for a long time, and more and more people gathered around them. It was not until Yan Leyang remembered that he had not given the drink to Lang Shiyi that he let go.

“Are you hurt?” Yan Leyang asked in a low voice.

“No.” Lang Shiyi’s voice was very soft, sounding somewhat gentle.

Yan Leyang handed the drink in his hand to the other party, and Lang Shiyi took it. Drinks required two hands to open, so Lang Shiyi also gave the flowers in his hand to Yan Leyang.

“Please open it for me too.” Yan Leyang smiled at Lang Shiyi.

“Okay.” Lang Shiyi nodded in agreement.

Yan Leyang looked at the chrysanthemum in his arms, feeling a little depressed: “These… Anyway, those people have been arrested, and it will take some time for them to investigate on their own. I will accompany you to the orphanage.”

“What’s the point of going to the orphanage?” Lang Shiyi wondered. He didn’t like to reminisce about anything because he knew that there was no remnant soul in this world.

“Put this bouquet of flowers at the orphanage.” Yan Leyang’s voice became smaller and smaller.

Lang Shiyi became even more confused: “But this is for you.”

Yan Leyang: ?????

“At the funeral that Hutch prepared for you, he stipulated that people could only give you chrysanthemums.” Lang Shiyi returned the drink to Yan Leyang: “Isn’t chrysanthemum your favorite flower?”

Yan Leyang fell silent. He was silent for a long time and finally couldn’t remain silent any longer. He silently held the bouquet with his arms and then used one hand to pinch his philtrum.
