“He Wen?” Yan Leyang glanced at the plot analysis sent by Hutch. Hutch was wondering what kind of person He Wen was. Since He Wen had an affair with the mother body, was there a possibility that he might betray them?
“Probably not,” Yan Leyang thought for a moment, then sent a message to Hutch. He figured He Wen was probably focused solely on killing the Mother Body.
When Yan Leyang saw the name He Wen, he subconsciously read it out softly. The mother Body trembled when he heard it.
He suddenly looked at Yan Leyang, but Yan Leyang didn’t notice him and continued sending his analysis to Hutch.
He could have actually peeked at what was on Yan Leyang’s virtual screen, but he didn’t. The Matrix even lowered its head.
The mother body knew that He Wen wanted him dead.
He had actually been avoiding He Wen’s presence. He didn’t understand what He Wen was now, so he simply chose to ignore him.
This shouldn’t be happening. He was the system, the last “spark” of human civilization. He should calmly face all emergencies, but the Matrix did it this way.
He just wanted to escape.
As a system, whether having so-called emotions was a good thing or a bad thing, nobody knew…
It seems, it seems, that the emergence of this feeling was an accident from the very beginning.
Because he fell in love with his creator, who died unaware that the “Spark” system he created had an extra burden: he possessed what was called emotion.
This meant that he was no longer completely rational, and the “spark” began to have its own judgment.
Drifting through the endless years of the universe, it must be so lonely.
He was the only one left in the world, forcing himself to stay awake in the endless darkness… He was so lonely that he had forgotten what his creator looked like, but he had to complete his mission.
To make it look even better, as if only in this way would his existence have any meaning.
When the humans who had been sleeping in the base awoke, the Mother Body was truly overjoyed, for finally someone could keep him company…. especially He Wen.
Especially He Wen…
He watched He Wen grow up, from a clueless little kid into an adult with his own thoughts. As the last human being, He Wen seemed quite lonely.
One day, He Wen suddenly asked him if he could stay by his side forever.
He said he had fallen in love with the “Spark System” and the “mother body” that nurtured the last batch of humans.
Liking someone was a very precious thing. The mother body was flattered and overwhelmed. At that time, He Wen’s words almost crashed the mother body’s system.
Then what……
Then He Wen died.
“Are you alright?” When Yan Leyang turned around, he noticed that Tie Zhu’s face was contorted as if he was about to cry, but he didn’t shed a tear. Yan Leyang reached out and patted his head.
The child’s hair wasn’t soft at all, it was very stiff: “Were you scared by me?”
Was any of the nonsense he just uttered even remotely scary? Yan Leyang felt a bit confused. He had threatened the child earlier, saying he would throw him to feed the huskies, but the child hadn’t cried.
What’s going on here?
“No.” The mother body carefully considered the elements of her communication with Yan Leyang and replied, “From what you’re saying, I might not be able to find a partner in the future.”
Oh, so you’re worried about not having a wife and a warm bed in the future? That’s it? You were acting like a brothel madam persuading people to go into prostitution before, and now you’re acting like a pure, innocent virgin? What a load of rubbish.
Despite his inner grumbling, Yan Leyang, as an elder, still comforted Tie Zhu’s young heart: “It’s okay, you’re still young.”
The mother body silently looked at Yan Leyang, thinking to himself that the combined age of you and all your friends is not even a fraction of my own.
Yan Leyang had no idea what Tie Zhu was thinking. He briefly switched to autopilot mode, turned around, picked up Tie Zhu, and placed him on his lap.
“Don’t think too much, kid. This isn’t something you should be thinking about.” Yan Leyang patted his back. “Come on, let your dad lean on your chest for a while and take a nap.”
Sleep? The mother body never needed to sleep…etc.
But the mother body suddenly felt drowsy, blinked, and even rubbed his eyes.
The feeling of being exhausted did not lessen.
Noticing Tie Zhu yawn, Yan Leyang found it quite novel: “Wow, you were already sleepy. I haven’t seen you this sleepy in days.”
Damn it! The mother body’s mind was still a mess, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He had forgotten that Yan Leyang had human blood, and that “Take a nap” was automatically interpreted as an instruction, and the mother body was about to enter a short hibernation.
Seeing the child finally collapse into his arms, Yan Leyang sighed helplessly, thinking that a child was still a child after all, and this Tie Zhu… probably just wanted a hug.
If the mother body could hear Yan Leyang’s inner thoughts, he probably wouldn’t be able to resist calling him an idiot.
However, the mother body was already in hibernation. Yan Leyang placed his hand on the child’s head and said, “Sweet dreams.”
So the mother body discovered he started dreaming after he went into hibernation.
Mother Body: …That damned Yan Leyang.
As for why he knew he was dreaming… his Spark System wasn’t so incapable of distinguishing between dreams and reality.
Even though this was his first time sleeping and his first time dreaming.
Looking at his reflection in the glass, he realized that the mother body didn’t have a specific appearance; he could be male, female, young, or old. But the one in the glass, for some reason, had a head of dazzling golden hair, just like Yan Leyang’s hair.
And judging from his appearance, he looked only three or four years old.
“Tie Zhu, Tie Zhu!” A nightmarish voice rang out, and the mother body turned his head in disbelief.
Sure enough, Yan Leyang was squatting next to him, wearing glasses on his nose, looking like a living, breathing scoundrel.
This seemingly refined scoundrel smiled at him, a particularly eerie smile: “Come here, come to Daddy.”
This was a nightmare.
Once the mother body was identified, he charged straight at Yan Leyang, aiming directly for his head.
Since it’s a dream, it’s not surprising that he would do anything in it.
However, in this dream, his fighting power seemed to be weakened. He rushed up and punched Yan Leyang on the head, but Yan Leyang’s head not only didn’t fly off, but he also shamelessly laughed.
“Wife, wife, look at our son!” Yan Leyang scooped up the mother body with both hands, and he struggled in vain. “So young and already thinking of killing his father.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Another man’s voice rang out, and the mother body looked closely… sure enough, it was Lang Shiyi.
This is absolutely! Absolutely a nightmare.
“Today is the baby’s birthday.” Lang Shiyi took the mother body without expression, turned him around, and his expression was no different from that of someone who wanted to assassinate him.
“The cake is here.” The door opened, and Luo Ma came in carrying the cake. After seeing Yan Leyang, Luo Ma called out, “Dad, the neighbors are coming over this afternoon.”
In such a short period of time, his seniority had dropped so much!
Then they started playing house happily. Yan Leyang always had that smug smile, and Lang Shiyi always had a blank expression. So why is Lang Shiyi, such a ruthless character, “Mom” in my dreams?
Is this reasonable? Lang Shiyi is like a killer hiding in an ordinary family, making you feel like he could kill them at any moment, you bast**d!
In the blink of an eye, Mother Body was already sitting on the table, and everyone was singing her a birthday song.
Of the four people at the table, the most indifferent was Lang Shiyi… and the Mother Body.
Why, why did they have to completely replicate Yan Leyang’s off-key singing?! Damn it!
The mother body felt like she was being tortured.
“Sorry I’m late.” The door opened again.
He Wen walked in, smiling. He reached out and patted the mother body’s head while he was still in a daze: “Happy birthday.”
The mother body stared blankly at He Wen, watching him sit down and smile at him.
“Hey, are you alright?” Luo Ma waved her hand in front of the mother body’s face. “Blow out the candles.”
“Want to make a wish?” Yan Leyang looked at him. “You can wish for anything.”
“Hahahaha, what kind of expression is that?” Luo Ma mocked the Mother Body. “It’s your birthday, and you look like you’re going to a funeral.”
“You can make any wish you want,” He Wen reminded him from across the table.
Any wish is allowed? The mother body opened his mouth: “Then I… I hope I will never be the only one left.”
“Goodness, our little one is afraid of being alone.” Yan Leyang kissed the mother body on the cheek, and the mother body immediately looked disgusted…
Moreover, it’s very noisy.
The mother body felt himself being picked up again by someone he didn’t know.
But his consciousness was somewhat blurred.
He tried desperately to open his eyes and see something, but he couldn’t and could only fall into a deep sleep.
Wake up!
The mother body suddenly felt a sense of crisis; if he didn’t regain consciousness…
“Hey.” Yan Leyang shook Tie Zhu awake.
The mother body opened his eyes groggily.
Yan Leyang looked at the little brat with a complicated expression: “I can understand the hurt that not having parents has caused you, but you can’t treat me as your mother because of that.”
“This little brat is sleeping, and he keeps calling me ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’ as he snuggled into my arms,” Yan Leyang said, seemingly with a hint of shyness. “And your drool has soaked my clothes.”
The mother body quickly regained consciousness and put on a stern face.
He really wanted to self-destruct, preferably by taking Yan Leyang with him.
That dream was so shameful, and it was all because of Yan Leyang…
But before the mother body could even feel so ashamed that he wanted to self-destruct, Yan Leyang’s expression suddenly turned strange: “Be careful… there seems to be something here…”
There were animals. As soon as Yan Leyang’s starship landed at the port, he noticed a wolf lying on the ground not far away.
In stark contrast to the animal form of Lang Shiyi, this was a completely white wolf, whose eyes showed not only greed but also wariness when they looked at Yan Leyang.
Wild animals were always more perceptive than humans.
Yan Leyang chose a low-level planet as his landing point this time, which was commonly known as a slum.
The reason he came here was that he found it increasingly difficult to stay with the herbivorous beastmen. Their control over carnivorous beastmen was becoming stricter and stricter. The route that Yan Leyang chose to go to the carnivorous beastmen required crossing this planet.
Yan Leyang originally only wanted to stay briefly, but after disembarking from the starship, he realized that something was really wrong here.
There were many wild animals, but none of them dared to pounce.
“Nobody cares about this place?” Yan Leyang asked incredulously. He casually picked up a wolf cub that was running around happily. A white wolf next to him bared its teeth at him, but Yan Leyang ignored it.
When Yan Leyang picked up the wolf cub, the mother body’s pupils dilated for a moment. He was about to warn Yan Leyang that the thing was dangerous, but then he suddenly remembered that it would be better if Yan Leyang died, so that he could take the infinite energy with him.
The wolf cub in Yan Leyang’s hands was just an ordinary wolf.
A bite could cause an infection? But Yan Leyang was now a cyborg, and this little wolf cub’s short legs couldn’t even touch him.
“Here…” Yan Leyang took a few steps forward, and the wild beasts in front of him looked at him warily and couldn’t help but back away.
Yan Leyang exuded a dangerous aura, and they dared not confront him directly.
Yan Leyang was about to ask if no one was in charge here, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that there really wasn’t. This planet was a no-man’s-land similar to Thundercloud Star. It was so poor that there wasn’t even a single gang stationed here.
Yan Leyang fell silent: “What a terrible thing to do.”
The mother body walked to Yan Leyang’s side.
“Aren’t you going to leave us a way out?” Yan Leyang suddenly spoke again.
Before the mother body could even reply, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. Yan Leyang had pinned him to the ground and picked up a metal stick, piercing it through his body.
The mother body opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Yan Leyang was still laughing, and reminded him with a smile, “You were calling for your mom and dad when you were asleep…”
“And He Wen,” Yan Leyang reminded him.
“That’s quite interesting.” Yan Leyang twisted the steel bar in his hand. “Although I don’t understand why you haven’t made a move yet…”
“But I can’t hold it in any longer,” Yan Leyang said coldly.
The mother body did not struggle; he simply looked at Yan Leyang indifferently. When he finally breathed his last, he closed his eyes cleanly and decisively.
It was not auspicious to die with one’s eyes open.
The mother body thought he would fall asleep again, but he didn’t. In just a moment, the mother body’s perspective returned to the base’s control center.
The control center was empty; there was nothing there.
