Yan Leyang was dazed for a moment when he followed Eleph and saw the “Yan Leyang” in the original novel.
Yan Leyang was an only child and didn’t have a brother who looked like him. But this “Yan Leyang” really looked exactly like him, just like looking in a mirror. Yan Leyang and the orange cat opposite him were stunned for a moment.
The orange cat was squatting in the cage, separated by a protective glass. After seeing Yan Leyang, he smiled and said, “Hello.”
The difference between the two was immediately apparent. The orange cat was particularly gentle when he smiled, and his lake green eyes seemed to be suppressing some emotion all the time. And after seeing Yan Leyang, his gaze seemed to be glued to Yan Leyang, making Lang Shiyi very uncomfortable.
Lang Shiyi subconsciously reached out and grabbed Yan Leyang, pulling him back.
“I’ve heard a lot about you.” The orange cat ignored Lang Shiyi’s vigilant gaze and smiled at Yan Leyang.
Under the strong light, the pair of green pupils formed a straight line, looking a little scary.
Yan Leyang had always thought that the original “Yan Leyang” was quite magical. After all, this was a Long Aotian novel. Logically speaking, the protagonist of this kind of novel must be the number one in the universe, and there was no concept of gay.
Even if the story ended without a CP, after Yan Leyang travelled through time and saw it, he saw that Lang Shiyi was not straight, he just didn’t like anyone.
But after reading the full text, it was this brother “Yan Leyang” who tried to seduce Lang Shiyi as a man, which received a lot of question marks and cordial greetings from readers in the comment section at that time.
The readers’ cordial greetings were for the author because they could not accept this. At that time, the author added this character for commercial purposes, hoping to attract some female readers through this element, but the result was that female readers were not attracted, and he was criticized a lot.
In the end, “Yan Leyang” went offline at the speed of light. He had no past or future, and there was no in-depth exploration of this character. He was just a tool. He came on the stage, did bad things, and then died.
This resulted in Yan Leyang’s understanding of him being quite limited.
However, Yan Leyang did not show it. Instead, Lang Shiyi was extremely alert as he stared at the orange cat.
The orange cat ignored Lang Shiyi. He just looked Yan Leyang up and down and suddenly said, “You are quite likable.”
“Normally.” Yan Leyang said modestly, “Maybe it’s the charm of my personality.”
The orange cat fell silent for a while and suddenly burst out laughing.
That face was exactly the same as Yan Leyang’s, but as long as it had an expression, it was easy to find the difference between the two people.
“You’re right.” The orange cat nodded seriously, “I can’t learn your personality.”
“Who asked you to come?” Eleph interrupted the other person’s affectionate gaze.
But the orange cat ignored him. So Eleph shrugged and said, “Yes, that’s it. He won’t tell me anything no matter what I do. Even the truth serum doesn’t work. This guy tried to commit suicide but was rescued by the cat tribe.”
The orange cat still kept smiling.
Yan Leyang then moved closer to Eleph and said: “Is it my illusion? I always feel like he is staring at me.”
“No.” Eleph lowered his voice and whispered to Yan Leyang: “He is staring at you, and there are sparks in his eyes.”
“I asked you to come here so that you can talk to him alone first.” Eleph whispered, “Do you have any questions? Do you have enough weapons for self-defense?”
“It shouldn’t be a big problem.” Yan Leyang made an OK gesture.
“I want to stay here.” Lang Shiyi said expressionlessly, “I want to stay here, no matter what.”
He was worried about Yan Leyang and the orange cat being alone together. It was indeed impossible for Yan Leyang to get hurt, but the problem was that “Yan Leyang” was good at brainwashing. When he was arrested, a lot of reactionary forces were arrested in the parliament alone. However, those people did not participate in the assassination of the crown prince, so they did not enter Dawn.
The final result of the discussion was that Yan Leyang was put into a cell and sat face to face with another “Yan Leyang”. There was a chair placed in the cell for him to sit.
While Lang Shiyi sat in the middle with an expressionless face and his arms folded across his chest. His aura was quite terrifying.
After Eleph left, the orange cat seemed to relax all of a sudden. But his eyes were always on Yan Leyang: “What do you think of Miao Xiaomi?”
How is it? Yan Leyang was stunned for a moment, thinking that it had been so long, this big brother still cared about Miao Xiaomi? Yan Leyang answered according to the setting: “Yes, he’s a good monarch.”
“Yes, it’s good.” The orange cat nodded. Under Yan Leyang’s slightly surprised look, he added, “But there is no guarantee that Miao Xiaomi’s next generation will also be a good monarch, just like his father and grandfather.”
“Does the interstellar age really need an emperor?” The orange cat looked at Yan Leyang. “I came from the slums. I know best what the price of those extravagant palaces and dissolute lives is.”
“It’s the lives of us low-class citizens.” The orange cat restrained his smile. “Why did I try to assassinate Meow Xiaomi? It’s because the people in the slums can’t survive anymore. It’s clearly the interstellar age, and the Dawn Prison can distribute food, but the people in the slums have started to eat grass. Can you imagine?”
Yan Leyang nodded, and then asked something irrelevant: “Why was I in Dawn Prison?”
The orange cat choked for a moment and then fell silent.
“I’m quite curious.” Yan Leyang knew that he was wearing a mask, but when he regained consciousness, he had already appeared in Dawn. So where did the “Yan Leyang” who was supposed to enter Dawn go? “Does this count as experiencing the disaster of imprisonment on your behalf?”
“Yes.” The orange cat nodded. “I saw you a long time ago. At that time, you were unconscious, like a machine with a single program.”
“So you used me at that time, replaced me, and ran away?” Yan Leyang raised his eyebrows. He was not angry. There was no point in getting angry about this matter. He just said, “Then don’t talk to me about dreams of the future. The slums are pitiful. I know, but I care more about my life.”
“To me, you are not that trustworthy.” This time it was Yan Leyang’s turn to laugh. “To be honest, I understand what you are saying. The country I came from did not have an emperor.”
“But I don’t understand what kind of system is good. This is not within the scope of my research. Don’t make it seem like I’m sorry for anyone because I have a relationship with Miao Xiaomi.”
In the later part of the original novel, Miao Xiaomi seemed to understand the limitations of the royal family, decentralized power to the parliament, and began to move towards constitutional monarchy.
In fact, Miao Xiaomi was not a good person, and his hands were not clean. He even got his current position by killing his father. And after he came to power, he cheated many countries, including friendly countries.
Lang Shiyi was deceived by him before. This guy was very thoughtful. But the only group he had never let down were his people.
The cat tribe’s slums were not in a very good condition now, but at least people would not starve to death. You know, it had not even been a year since Miao Xiaomi came to power.
Meow Xiaomi was indeed a great leader.
But looking at the orange cat opposite, he seemed to have a natural aversion to the royal family.
Yan Leyang suddenly folded his hands and said, “If you killed Miao Xiaomi, then what? Do you have the confidence to destroy the cat tribe in one fell swoop?”
The orange cat remained silent. It was obvious that he was not sure.
“You cooperated with the Matrix, right?” Yan Leyang asked again, “It’s not that he controlled you, but you cooperated. What did he promise you?”
The orange cat still didn’t speak.
Yan Leyang waited for a while before sighing: “It’s good to have ideals, but it’s hard to be brave without strategy.”
The orange cat chuckled, as if mocking him.
Yan Leyang didn’t care about this. He just said seriously: “Do you know about Marxism?”
“What?” The orange cat was stunned.
“Wait for me to think about it. I haven’t reviewed it for a long time. Then I’ll start from the beginning.” Yan Leyang touched his chin: “Okay, I’ll tell you some stories in the middle.” He wanted to prove the feasibility of this thing.
By the way, let this “Yan Leyang” know that even if he thought that the cat royal family was using unequal exploitation, the “matrix” was not much better. You should treat everyone equally and not hate anyone.
Treat everyone equally.
Lang Shiyi, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but straighten his back. He felt that it was useless for Yan Leyang to say these things, so he was ready for the use of force for interrogation.
More than twenty hours later, Yan Leyang finally led Lang Shiyi out of the interrogation room.
“After asking, I found out that he did cooperate with the Matrix, but he didn’t know the Matrix before.” Yan Leyang stretched, “The Matrix was on guard against him, so they didn’t let him know too much information.”
“How did you ask that?” Eleph was waiting outside for work today. After Yan Leyang came out, he yawned, “What did you do?”
“Oh, I told him a great story.” Yan Leyang scratched his head, “He is very excited now as he suddenly realized that the existence of the Matrix is also a kind of inequality, especially for the orcs.”
“Huh?” Eleph was stunned for a moment, and he didn’t react. “What do you mean?”
“He’s very happy now, take a look.” Yan Leyang pointed to the monitor nearby, “There’s light in his eyes.”
Sure enough, the orange cat in the monitor had clenched his fists excitedly, and his lips were trembling with excitement.
Eleph had a question mark on his face. There was no sound in the monitor because it would affect Eleph’s work, so Eleph didn’t quite understand what was happening.
Lang Shiyi also had a dull look on his face. He didn’t interrupt at all.
“He has his dream again.” Yan Leyang recalled the increasingly excited expression of the orange cat at that time.
At the very end, the orange cat looked at Yan Leyang with even more enthusiasm, calling him “comrade” all the time.
Yan Leyang actually didn’t expect the effect to be so good, but Yan Leyang didn’t want to be this guy’s comrade.
It could be seen from the fact that this guy had the courage but no strategy to assassinate the crown prince that he was not actually very smart.
“Be careful.” Yan Leyang reminded him, “He may want to escape from prison at any time and go out to save this corrupt and decadent world.”
