“Let me be honest! I’ve had enough!” Eleph complained.
The subordinate beside him glanced at him slowly: “What do you mean you’ve had enough?”
This subordinate was a red-haired lady who was quite beautiful, a perfect blend of sexiness and cuteness.
Eleph looked at his subordinate and was about to say something, but then he remembered the race of his subordinate and gave up.
Just at this moment Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi pushed the door open. The lady stood up, nodded to Yan Leyang and the others, and went out.
“Who is this?” Yan Leyang turned his head to look, “Is it one of you marine animals?”
“Yes, Clownfish.” Eleph sighed and pointed to the sofa next to them. He couldn’t help looking at the ceiling. “She has been with me for almost five years. The one who held this position before her was her wife.”
“Oh? Is it a pair of les*ians?” Yan Leyang was stunned for a moment, feeling that the content of compounds in the surrounding area was a bit high recently, but he knew clownfish. He had watched cartoons, and it was one of the few saltwater fish he knew what it looked like.
There was no way. Yan Leyang himself lived inland, and in their world, except for mammals, no marine animals had turned into orcs.
“No, they should be a man-woman couple.” Lang Shiyi leaned on Yan Leyang.
Eleph nodded. “That’s right. My subordinate’s wife died, so he changed from a male to a female, and she has a new husband now.”
Too crazy! It’s really too crazy! Yan Leyang took a breath and hugged Lang Shiyi beside him.
Eleph: …
“Hey!” Eleph tapped his desk lightly with his fingers. “Just a reminder, hugging is not allowed in my office.”
“Why?” Yan Leyang did not let go.
“Because it’s my office,” Eleph shrugged, “and I’m allergic to hugs.”
Yan Leyang let go of Lang Shiyi, then pressed Lang Shiyi’s head against his thigh: “Then let’s talk like this.”
Before Eleph collapsed, Yan Leyang spoke first: “Zhou Jiu came to see me.”
“Zhou Jiu?” Eleph was stunned for a moment. “Did he agree to reveal the location of the mother body?”
“Yes, but he needs us to ensure his safety. I guess there’s some big movement on the mother body’s side, or something went wrong with the black shadow.” Yan Leyang said as he touched Lang Shiyi’s ear.
The wolf’s ears are soft, and the hair on them was also very soft, but if you touched them lightly, Lang Shiyi would feel itchy, and then the ears would move to drive away.
Yan Leyang liked this reaction of Lang Shiyi, and Lang Shiyi did not stop him and let Yan Leyang play around.
“Then he wanted to see the true appearance of the ‘mysterious man’. He said he knew the previous one was a disguise. He also said that the Matrix was going crazy.” Yan Leyang sighed, “Isn’t the Matrix a system? Can the system also go crazy?”
“How should I know this?” Eleph tried not to look at the two people. “Our current system of the beastman cannot think like humans. We can communicate and have conversations, but we can’t have emotions.”
“Besides, what kind of emotions does the system need?”
“That makes sense.” Yan Leyang sent a message to He Wen to explain the situation. If they had to meet, Yan Leyang thought it would be better for He Wen to go.
He Wen’s focus was on another point: [You said the “matrix” is about to collapse?]
[That’s about it.]
After that, He Wen didn’t reply to the message for a long time. Just when Yan Leyang turned off the computer screen, a video call came in.
He Wen talked to Yan Leyang about the issue of the Matrix, and also explained why he didn’t just confront the “Matrix” head-on.
Lang Shiyi lay on Yan Leyang’s legs the whole time, expressionless, with only his ears moving occasionally, indicating that he was listening too.
“I don’t recommend saving Zhou Jiu, because even if we know the exact location of the mother body, we probably won’t be able to get close to it.” He Wen said seriously: “My shielding usually doesn’t work when I get close to it.”
After he finished speaking, Yan Leyang was still staring at the projection blankly, blinking his eyes occasionally to show that he was still alive.
He Wen scratched his head: “Did I hit you hard?”
Yan Leyang nodded.
“Then you think about it first. There’s no rush anyway.” He Wen turned off the video.
After that, no one moved in his office, and the cigarette that Eleph had lit burned to the end, burning Eleph so much that he shivered and let out a scream.
This shout broke the silence, and Yan Leyang exclaimed: “Oh my god!”
“Yeah.” Lang Shiyi stood up and nodded, acknowledging Yan Leyang’s surprise, “I really didn’t expect it.”
“Who would have thought of this?” Eleph shouted while covering his hand.
Yan Leyang was still dazed: “I can’t think of it anyway.”
According to He Wen, this “matrix” actually had feelings for its creator, yes, love. And it was a one-sided love, because the creator already had a wife.
After entering the vast universe, the “Matrix” had always been very lonely, and the humans who awakened at that time were also very lonely. Inevitably, they would develop emotions of mutual dependence. All this was because the “Matrix” had emotions.
After the appearance of orcs, humans were more willing to approach them and they would not even reveal their identities. Humans helped orcs develop and progress, but the “Matrix” became lonelier.
It couldn’t quite accept the departure of humans and couldn’t accept that humans cared about other things. But the Matrix couldn’t hurt humans and couldn’t even imprison them.
The last human, the real He Wen, was special because he was the last one. Perhaps the Matrix had a stronger desire to control him and thus took better care of him. After all, after He Wen, even if humans were truly extinct, the Matrix’s mission would be over.
Under the care, the mother body and He Wen got together.
At this time, they still liked each other.
But no matter how much he liked it, He Wen was a man with his own ideals, and he wanted to use the beastman civilization to revive human civilization. The Matrix was unwilling, so he used his authority to separate from the mother body.
The subsequent plot was familiar to Yan Leyang and the others. He Wen committed suicide, and the Matrix copied He Wen’s thoughts, and the current robot appeared. However, the robot was unable to take action against the “Matrix” because of the original owner’s feelings for the “Matrix”.
And that was it.
While He Wen was describing what was happening, Yan Leyang and the others were listening to what seemed like an epic love story between a human and a machine. The three of them still hadn’t reacted yet.
“Oh my God, so now He Wen has made up his mind to kill the Matrix?” Eleph relit a cigarette, “And what about himself?”
“He will be shut down too.” Yan Leyang didn’t expect this either. “He is just a machine now.”
“When we were still at his base, he said that he was tired of living.” Yan Leyang shook his head, “In fact, if we shut down the matrix, will he really die?”
“Actually, you don’t have to worry too much.” Lang Shiyi reminded, “Because you can’t get close to the mother body at all now.”
“That makes sense.” Yan Leyang nodded.
“So do we agree to Zhou Jiu now?” Eleph asked again. He reminded, “Actually, you can agree first and talk about it later.”
“But he wants to see me. I’m not sure if this is his own wish or if the Matrix has discovered something and asked him to test it.” Yan Leyang lay down on the sofa.
“So what are your plans?” Eleph asked again.
“Expose it.” Yan Leyang said something shocking.
Eleph took a puff of his cigarette and then coughed madly: “What did you say?!”
“Exposure.” Yan Leyang continued, “It will make the mother body even crazier. She won’t be able to accept me, the child of a human and an orc.”
Yes, Yan Leyang’s existence was a slap in the face to the mother body. How could a high-ranking human being merge with the blood of an animal? But the fact was that this did happen. Not only did the blood merge, but the third generation of Yan Leyang also appeared.
Are you angry? Of course you are! She must be so angry that she was going to die.
But she couldn’t get rid of Yan Leyang now, which made people even more angry.
“The more chaotic the better.” Anyway, Yan Leyang himself could no longer be attacked now, “and this matter can be exposed. It would be best if all the forces of the mother body can be eradicated.”
Hearing this, Eleph’s fingers trembled: “Haven’t you heard? That guy wants to use the orc civilization to revive human civilization. Although it is unclear how he is going to do it, but…”
“The reason why he still tolerates the existence of orc civilization is because he is not sure yet. By the time he is sure, it will be too late.” Yan Leyang interrupted Eleph, “And we don’t even know his methods now.”
After Yan Leyang finished speaking, Eleph was silent for a long time before he pursed his lips and nodded: “I understand, I will inform our tribe.”
“Do you need me to send you back to the cat tribe?” Eleph asked again.
“No, don’t expose our identities, let the cats ‘discover’ us.” Yan Leyang chuckled, “The optical computer and starship are destroyed, and we can’t contact the outside world, but we need food, so it’s more reliable to stay in the slums.”
One month later.
The latest news on Starnet was that Yan Leyang, who was supposed to be dead, was alive! He was not dead! Even his partner was not dead! The cat tribe found them, and Yan Leyang’s leg, which was supposed to be blown off, was reattached.
The cat tribe only posted recent photos of Yan Leyang, and no videos, saying it was for the sake of Yan Leyang’s physical and mental health.
[Ahhhhhhh!! I cried for so long in vain, wuwuwu, I just feel good to be alive!]
[Yan Leyang is still as pretty as ever, but his body is dirty and he looks like he has been injured a lot. He also looks thinner.]
[Has he lost weight? Why do I feel he’s gotten fatter?]
[So the novel can be updated now? Is that ok?]
[Well, the slums look really dirty and messy, is there no one to take care of them?]
[Hutch must be feeling very complicated right now.]
[The person above, our leader has officially announced that his lover is Zhao Lirong, please don’t bring him in, thank you.]
[Wasn’t that announced after Yan Leyang’s death? Now that True Love is still alive, Zhao Lirong’s situation is probably awkward.]
[So how did Yan Leyang fail in his assassination attempt? Even if Yan Leyang came back to life, no one could explain this.]
Yan Leyang only glanced at the voices from the outside world. The biggest problem now was not outside, but inside.
Miao Xiaomi sent someone to pick up Yan Leyang and the others when they came back. Miao Xiaomi and his subordinate Fu Mingxuan knew the real situation, but no one else knew it, so they had to pretend.
However, no physical examination was done. This was an order given by Miao Xiaomi. The reason was that there was an undercover agent inside the last attack, and this time, for safety reasons, everything had to be carried out under the supervision of his subordinate Fu Mingxuan.
But Fu Mingxuan did not board the starship, so they could only wait until Yan Leyang came back.
A physical examination would definitely not be done. After Yan Leyang and the others arrived, Fu Mingxuan announced to the public that Yan Leyang had recovered well.
Yan Leyang’s original residence had been bombed, so he was arranged to live next door.
When Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi arrived at the place, there were several people standing at the door, including Luo Ma, Dai Zu, Xing carrying a small basket, and even Teacher Bai.
“Hmm.” Fu Mingxuan brought them here. He touched his chin and said, “They might be quite excited.”
Before he could finish his words, Luo Ma suddenly rushed over. The serious expression on her face collapsed. Tears and snot flowed down her face as she cried and hugged Yan Leyang: “I thought you were dead!”
“Do you know how uncomfortable I felt?” Luo Ma sniffed softly.
Yan Leyang probably knew, he thought, that during the time when he was “missing”, Luo Ma’s targeted attacks had never stopped. Not only that, she was able to escape unscathed every time. When He Wen reported Luo Ma’s battle record to him, it was hard for Yan Leyang not to know.
“Lang Shiyi…” Luo Ma hugged Yan Leyang and wanted to do the same to Lang Shiyi. After all, they had been friends for such a long time. However, she noticed the two ears on the top of Lang Shiyi’s head and paused. She also noticed the tail of Lang Shiyi swinging slightly behind him and her expression became strange.
“I’m not saying that.” Luo Ma had a tangled face and pointed at Lang Shiyi’s tail dangling behind him. “You guys just got rescued so you shouldn’t play around so much. Aren’t you tired of having this plug-in installed all the time?”
Luo Ma also knew what Lang Shiyi’s beast form looked like. That was why she felt that what Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi were doing was extremely inappropriate.
The wolf’s tail, which was originally shaking slightly, suddenly wilted and became motionless. Lang Shiyi raised his eyebrows and walked forward to violently beat the weak woman Luo Ma without any gentlemanly manners.
“Yan, Yan, Yan, Yan Leyang!” Xing finally reacted at this time and excitedly changed back to half-animal form. The starfish carefully picked up his small basket with the cookies he baked in it: “I’m very happy that you’re still alive.”
“Oh, thank you.” Yan Leyang took the basket.
Xing didn’t say anything. He stared at Yan Leyang in silence for about twenty seconds. His face suddenly turned red, and he quickly covered his cheek with his cold wrist to cool it down: “No, it’s okay.”
In stressful situations, this problem of long reaction time could be overcome temporarily, but it was obvious that this was only temporary.
“Brother Yan, wuwuwu.” Dai Zu came over and hugged Yan Leyang, “I thought you were dead. I was scared to death.”
Yan Leyang hugged the man, patted Dai Zu on the back, and ignored Lang Shiyi and Luo Ma who were fighting nearby.
Teacher Bai just came over and patted Yan Leyang on the shoulder: “The mecha is finished. You can come and see it when you have the chance.”
“Yeah, okay.” Yan Leyang smiled at Teacher Bai.
“Oh, by the way. We have already given the two Sebs to his brother. I guess his brother has been very upset recently.” Fu Mingxuan followed Yan Leyang and said, “But your friend sent another one.”
“Huh?” Yan Leyang was stunned, “Who? Seb? Why send it here?” The only one who still had a Seb should be He Wen.
“Because he said he has finished his research. This Seb is completely non-aggressive and safe.” Fu Mingxuan stood aside with his hands on his hips. “And he would feel bad if he left this thing there by force, so he sent it here to see how you deal with it.”
“It doesn’t matter whether he returns to his brother or we kill him.” Fu Mingxuan shrugged, “His brother is almost committing suicide because of the three Sebs who want to kill each other.”
“Where is the snake?” Yan Leyang asked again.
“The snake has locked itself in the house.” Luo Ma, who was fighting, took the time to yell.
“At home?!” Lang Shiyi stopped, “Now?”
“Yes, in the bathtub in the living room.”
Lang Shiyi and Yan Leyang looked at each other and decided to go into the house to check the situation first.
When they opened the door, they saw that there was indeed a bathtub in the living room. It was a very eye-catching and large round bathtub. Seb had an electronic collar around his neck and was lying in the bathtub with a sad look on his face.
After seeing Yan Leyang and the others, Seb quickly stood up and said, “Ah, hello.”
After saying that, he glanced at Yan Leyang shyly again: “Long time no see.”
The dark skin blushed and looked even darker.
Yan Leyang felt like he had stopped breathing for a moment, he was so angry. He pointed at Seb and said, “Take him away and give him to his brother.”
“Eh~” Fu Mingxuan frowned, “He will be beaten to death by other Sebs like this, just wait.”
Fu Mingxuan turned on the computer and aimed it at Seb.
Seb was frightened and stepped back: “What are you doing?”
“Take a video for your brother.” Fu Mingxuan raised his hand, “Come on, call out brother and I’ll send it to him.”
Seb called out “Hello, brother” cautiously and shyly.
After recording, Fu Mingxuan sent it directly to the current monarch of the snake clan.
The reply was very quick, to the message sent by the other party.
[Please be sure to send it to me.]
[But you already have three, isn’t that enough?]
[No, they don’t call me brother.] Those Sebs only called him the emperor brother, and they were all fierce and ferocious. The monarch said that he could not accept such cold brothers.
[Please send this one to me, thank you!]
“Okay, I’ll get someone to move him out right away.” Fu Mingxuan snapped his fingers, “Remember to send me a message if you need anything.”
It seemed that Seb was just there for formality and was soon taken away by six cat guards.
Lang Shiyi checked up and down and made sure there was nothing else in the house.
Yan Leyang was sitting in the living room, chatting with Luo Ma and the others. When Lang Shiyi came over, he pushed aside Xing who was sitting next to him.
“Hey, stop it.” Luo Ma yelled, “Did Xing offend you? It was me who said that the tail was a plug-in, not Xing. Don’t be so excessive.”
“He is mine now.” Lang Shiyi was unmoved.
“We came back to plan to get married.” Yan Leyang still remembered this. The two had agreed to get married before. “There may be some troubles recently, so let’s get the marriage certificate first and then get married.”
Get a certificate? The others were stunned.
“What did I miss?” Luo Ma sat up straight suddenly, and Dai Zu also looked at Yan Leyang, blinking his eyes, full of curiosity.
“We are together.” Yan Leyang smiled, “Shiyi agreed to my proposal.”
“Wow.” Luo Ma was incredulous. “You were a teenager with amnesia before you left, and you’re planning to get married after you came back?!”
Lang Shiyi’s ears moved slightly, but his face remained expressionless.
“In fact, it’s not impossible to have a wedding.” Luo Ma was very excited, “Can I be a bridesmaid?”
“Ah, I haven’t thought about the wedding yet.” After all, things were not over yet, Yan Leyang scratched his head, “As for bridesmaids, let’s talk about it later.”
“Are you getting married?” Xing finally realized that Yan Leyang was going to get a marriage certificate, and smiled slightly, “Congratulations.”
“Is it okay with Hutch?” Teacher Bai didn’t know much about Yan Leyang’s relationship status. He only knew the gossip from Star Network. After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
After all, Lang Shiyi was Hutch’s stand-in, and now was the day when the two announced their marriage, so such a topic would obviously be a dampener.
Lang Shiyi, who was originally happy, suddenly looked at Yan Leyang.
“Clarify.” He was not a substitute, he was the original wife, and Yan Leyang would never find a substitute behind his back.
Yan Leyang was such a good person, he won’t look for the shadow of his favorite person in another person just because he couldn’t get it. And now Lang Shiyi couldn’t accept Yan Leyang and others being put together and being called a couple.
Because Yan Leyang had been his from the beginning to the end, those guys who coveted Yan Leyang deserved to be beaten up.
Yan Leyang agreed of course. He hadn’t expected that his relationship with Hutch would become increasingly strange as time went by and under the influence of netizens’ speculations: “I will definitely clarify this matter…”
“No need.” Luo Ma interrupted them, “Hutch has already sent a message to sever ties with you guys.”
“Oh? Was he forced by Zhao Lirong?” Dai Zu came forward. “Wow, really, the wording is so precise.”
Yan Leyang also took a look and said: “Then I will also forward it to distance myself from the matter?”
“Yeah.” Lang Shiyi nodded.
Luo Ma turned off the light screen: “By the way, did you have sex?”
“Yes.” Lang Shiyi admitted generously, “Many times.”
“It’s good to be young.” Teacher Bai couldn’t help but sigh. Although he hadn’t found a partner until now, it didn’t stop him from expressing his admiration for the love of young people.
Yan Leyang and Lang Shiyi should be the only two who were not single among the group sitting here.
Lang Shiyi liked this feeling very much. Everyone knew that Yan Leyang belonged to him: “I am not stingy in sharing the details…”
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered by Yan Leyang.
At this moment, Xing finally realized that Yan Leyang had just said that they would not hold a wedding for the time being: “Then when will you hold the wedding?”
