C121 — [5.16 — False Them]

“The quality of these new model bionics is so poor.”

Zero Three added.

He had no malicious intent; he simply stated the facts.
Although they were more advanced models than his, the workmanship was far inferior.

There was no need for Jiu Shu to waste time on these defective products at all.

Zero Three’s gaze swept over those bionic figures in the shop that were more in line with the current trend; his expression remained indifferent, but his hand holding Jiu Shu’s hand slowly tightened.
 

The strength was careful not to hurt Jiu Shu, but it was filled with a subtle, greedy desire to take over his lover’s full attention.

“Jiu Shu, let’s go.”
 

“Okay.”

Jiu Shu arched an eyebrow

Just before leaving, he thoughtfully glanced at the shop’s flickering currents.

It was the same situation as in the amusement park; the current was unstable.

The two continued to walk on the fringes of the upper city.

In this fringe area, where most of the people of the lower city were, even though it wasn’t as busy as the commercial center area, it was still brightly lit.

There were crowds of people everywhere, and the occasional hovering car drove through the sky.

Walking amongst the noisy crowd, Zero Three and Jiu Shu were just like a bunch of ordinary couples.

“By the way, do you know the bionic man in that video just now?”

Jiu Shu suddenly asked about the video clip shown during the interview with those college students just now.

“…… ” Zero Three moved sluggishly for a moment but still nodded.

“Yes, I recognize you; it’s a bionic star named David.”

Although Zero Three’s expression didn’t change in any particular way, Jiu Shu could see that the bottom of Zero Three’s eyes were a little cloudy at the mention of the video just now.

For the emotionally indifferent disciplinary target of this world, this wasn’t common.

After Zero Three replied, he fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking, his pitch-black eyes slightly dark.

When he came back to his senses, he was a little surprised to see Jiu Shu searching for David’s name.

Humans knew very little about bionic stars, and Zero Three knew this very well.

He didn’t expect Jiu Shu to take the initiative to care about a bionic star.

Or a bionic that had already been dismantled and was ugly.

It must have felt disgusting.

Zero Three remembered what he had seen when he searched for old films on the internet: many human comments on human and bionic love affairs.

Without exception, they were all disgusted.

[It’s too disgusting. Isn’t a bionic man just a tool? Is someone really in love with a machine? That’s dirty!]

[It’s like falling in love with a dog, hahaha! It’s so disgusting!]

[People who have a crush on bionics probably aren’t in their right mind, so I suggest they go see a doctor.]

Zero Three could already imagine Jiu Shu’s reaction when he saw the contents of those films.

Although he had no malice towards bionics and instead behaved gently, seeing those scenes would probably make him physically uncomfortable as well.

After all, who would empathize with a slave-like bionic human?

“David? ……”

“It’s pitiful.”

Jiu Shu’s sigh interrupted Zero Three’s thoughts, and he raised his eyes in a daze to see Jiu Shu’s face showing regret.

There was no disgust or revulsion, as Zero Three had imagined.

It was still filled with gentleness.

Gentle to the point that it was as if he would never leave him because of his bionic human identity.

“Doesn’t Zero Three feel that?”

Zero Three froze, looking at the clear pupils of Jiu Shu’s eyes with soft eyes. “Yes, he is indeed pitiful.”

This bionic star, who had acted in no less than a hundred films, once married a human wife, but then the law changed.

Their marriage wasn’t recognized, and even their property was stripped away.

In the end, in this decades-long wave of anti-bionic man, this former bionic man loved by mankind became a discarded machine that was sent to a robot graveyard and recorded in a video that was mocked all over the internet.
 

This was what would happen to a bionic who fell in love with humans.
 

“I remember just now that person asking, What would happen if your lover is actually a bionic? Would you hate me if I was a bionic, Zero Three?”

“Of course not!” Zero Three’s voice was low but firm.

There was no way he could ever hate Jiu Shu.

“Me too; no matter who Zero Three is, human or bionic, I won’t hate you because I love all of you.”

Jiu Shu seemed to mean what he said, his rosy lips rising, beautiful beyond measure under the neon lights.

 

Zero Three looked at the love of his life at his side, his ears reddening as he listened to Jiu Shu’s blunt display of love.

His throat was also too dry to make a sound.

He didn’t know how to respond.

Seeing his emotions on the verge of overload, Jiu Shu didn’t say anything more and continued to walk forward.

He knew that the object of the punishment was still afraid to confess his true identity right now.

It would be fine if he revealed it on the spot, but the inferiority complex and trepidation in Zero Three’s heart would not diminish as a result.
 

Instead, it would be hidden even deeper, making it even more difficult to untie the knot in his heart.

So he could only take his time; he couldn’t be too hasty.

He could only subconsciously show Zero Three that he had no prejudice against bionics.

Gradually, only then could Zero Three realize that his bionic identity would not affect the feelings between them.

Jiu Shu was a very patient person, and there was still a long time left in this world anyway.

They would still be together for a long, long time.

Zero Three walked beside Jiu Shu somewhat soulfully.

Eyes would peek at Jiu Shu every now and then.

Jiu Shu’s gentle attitude towards bionics was something Zero Three never dared to dream of.

But even so, he still didn’t dare to reveal his identity.

There were too many uncertainties in this world.

If Jiu Shu left him after telling the truth, that would be the most disastrous thing in this world for Zero Three.

After it was so hard to get the love of Jiu Shu, Zero Three had become indecisive, not daring to take a single risk.

“……”

Pale, thin lips moved, but Zero Three still remained silent.

It would be fine just like this.

He was already very happy now.

They were soon back near the apartment building in the lower city.

Zero Three saw that the lift inside the apartment building still hadn’t been fixed.

Most of the people living in this apartment building were poor, and the property was basically equivalent to nothing, so it would take at least a few days for the lift to be fixed.

“I’ll walk you up.”

Climbing the stairs back and forth was tiring, and Zero Three didn’t want to see Jiu Shu show his exhaustion.

“Fine.”

Jiu Shu hooked his beautifully curved lips in a moving smile.

Zero Three watched in fascination for a while and couldn’t help but follow suit, with the corners of his mouth rising.

The face that was always cold in the past melted like solid ice, and there was a kind of handsome beauty where gloom dispersed.

As usual, he carried Jiu Shu up the stairs, and this time the atmosphere between the two was even more ambiguous.

Every little movement of Jiu Shu would make the tips of Zero Three’s ears redden.

Jiu Shu didn’t actually do anything.

He just moved his arm every now and then to prevent the rose in his hand from being crushed.

Perhaps it was because the movement when moving occasionally increased the area of contact between the two, and by the time Jiu Shu moved the rose to his right hand once again, his downcast eyes saw that Zero Three’s ears were already red and burning.

Jiu Shu lost his smile and leaned in to whisper in Zero Three’s ear, “Am I too heavy?”

“No.”

Zero Three shook his head shyly.
Jiu Shu wasn’t heavy at all; rather, he was too light, so light that Zero Three wanted Jiu Shu to eat more.

So he’d no longer be so skinny and fragile.
But Zero Three also knew that this was the aesthetics of human society, and a tall body like his was heresy.

 

The now thinly built Jiu Shu was the most standard image of great beauty in human society.

 

The figure was upright but not thin.
Unlike his hard and dignified appearance that had now been discarded by the times, whether it was the classical aesthetics of the past or the non-mainstream aesthetics of the present, all of them were unable to deny Jiu Shu’s kind of beauty that transcended gender.

 

 

It wasn’t a feminine softness, but a uniquely handsome male beauty that people couldn’t mistake.

Mixed with a teenager-like, clean aura, he could only be described as beautiful.

Zero Three had also seen those stars in the entertainment industry during this period of time, but all of them didn’t look as good as he did.

They were completely not as beautiful as Jiu Shu.

“If I’m not heavy, why does your heartbeat sound so fast?”

Saying that, Jiu Shu dropped his hand down on Zero Three’s chest, his fingertips gently tapping it as if she could touch the heart under the skin.

 

His heartbeat was so fast that it almost jumped out.

“……!”

Zero Three’s ears were red to the point of dripping blo-od.

The light laughter that resounded with Jiu Shu’s voice made Zero Three understand that Jiu Shu was teasing him.

He lowered his head and continued to walk forward without saying a word.

Even after walking through a dozen flights of stairs, there was no sign of fatigue at all, and his breathing wasn’t even messed up.

Only his eyes were filled with tenderness.

Jiu Shu’s intimate, flirtatious love gave Zero Three the illusion that he and Jiu Shu were a normal human couple.

He wasn’t a bionic human with a humble status, but a real human who could be with Jiu Shu forever.

This feeling was too good, making Zero Three intoxicated.

It wasn’t until he reached the door of Jiu Shu’s room that he put him down with some reluctance.

“It’s embarrassing to keep making you carry me; come in and take a rest.”

Jiu Shu held the rose in his hand, his beautiful, dark pupils glistening in the light.

He also deliberately aggravated the word “rest,”  implying something else.

Jiu Shu looked at the tall, bionic man in front of him and smiled.

The tall bionic man in the corridor seemed to have some shy emotions on his pale face, and the knot in his throat rolled. He only nodded after a long time.

“Hmm.”

Jiu Shu’s outstretched palm was gently held, and Zero Three entered Jiu Shu’s flat room for the first time.

Although he had seen it on the surveillance before, when he actually entered, Zero Three was still formal, sitting on the chair with his hands resting obediently on his knees.
 

Not daring to move a muscle.

Jiu Shu Sparing was amused by his nervous appearance and couldn’t help but come close to kiss him on the cheek.

After sitting down, they were just about the same height, making it easier to kiss.

“I’m going to take a shower first. Want to join me?”

“!!!”

Zero Three stiffened to the point of being as stiff as a rock; his eyes widened for a moment before he refused the offer.

Jiu Shu didn’t force the issue and entered the bathroom by himself.

Listening to the sound of water coming out of the bathroom, Zero Three was silent, his fingers subconsciously curling up, and by the time he noticed it, they were already tangled and entwined together.

Although Jiu Shu had already said before that he wanted him to stay and rest tonight and hinted at that kind of thing, Zero Three knew better than to accept.

The relationship guidebook said that one shouldn’t be so eager when just establishing a relationship; it would lower one’s impression score.

So although he wasn’t able to refuse Jiu Shu’s invitation to stay and rest for the night, he still had to have a bottom line.

Tonight only kissing was fine, no other things.

Snapping-

The sound of bare feet on the floor rang out, and Zero Three heard Jiu Shu’s soft footsteps and saw his cold white ankles and the backs of his feet that were flushed with green veins.
 

It was still covered in droplets of water.
 

White calves upwards were the skin under the robe.

 

“Go wash up too.”

Jiu Shu towelled a short head of hair, his gaze sweeping over Zero Three’s neck.

He was already red to the neck.

Was he thinking of something naughty just now?

Jiu Shu laughed softly and watched Zero Three walk towards the bathroom with his hands and feet swinging at the same time.

Then he stayed in the bathroom for a long time.

Looking at the point in time when it was almost dawn, Jiu Shu sat cross-legged on the bed, resting his cheeks on a hand and raising an eyebrow.

He was too shy.

Getting up, Jiu Shu walked towards the bathroom and knocked on the door.

The door to the room opened to reveal a somewhat averted gaze from Zero Three.

“Nervous?”

“No.”

Zero Three lowered his head and silently denied it.

The downloaded search document on his wrist, however, anachronistically made the ding-dong sound of a download completing.

“!!!”
 

In the midst of Zero Three’s pupils clenching, Jiu Shu picked up Zero Three’s wrist and saw that the wristwatch was displaying an instructional document with hundreds of thousands of words.

[How to say goodbye to nervousness and act mature and sophisticated between bedtime events.]

There was even a search record: Will showing too much tension in a relationship bore your lover?
It seemed that he was overly nervous.

“……”

Jiu Shu closed the search screen and flipped upwards, finding that Zero Three had already purchased and downloaded dozens of similar e-books.

Most of them were [teaching you how to be gentle and small-minded].  [A trick to capture your lover’s heart in bed] [Which position is the most exciting for your lover] and other exaggerated relationship guides.

In this over-entertained country, young people were always extra open about sex, and these books, which were comparable to po-rnographic books, were extra bestsellers.

So he had just been watching a tutorial?

But with the data-reading ability of the new bionic type, it shouldn’t be this slow.

Jiu Shu pondered for a moment.

Thinking back to just now, Zero Three had acted reserved and didn’t seem to want to do this kind of thing.

If the guess was correct, Zero Three should have referred to relationship guide-type tutorials before.

It was just that those tutorials were too old, belonging to the last century, when people were generally conservative.
 

Therefore, he behaved in an exceptionally reserved and gentlemanly manner, not daring to take half a step beyond that.

Now that he suddenly purchased so many new, overly open relationship guides that conflicted with the old ones, he probably fell into a programming error.

Not knowing which guide’s content to listen to.

Jiu Shu thought about this and looked through the e-books.

It was found that the audience of these books were teenage girls who hadn’t graduated yet and had fantasies about love.

All of them were overly idealized tutorials.

The comment section under the document already had many victimized teenage girls complaining that this tutorial was unreliable and led to their social death.

Zero Three, however, saw it as a life-saver.

Even more naively than the teenage girls, he thought that these tutorials could do a lot of good.

“…” Jiu Shu glanced up at Zero Three.

Great, one more victim.

“……”

Zero Three stopped speaking and didn’t dare to look at Jiu Shu anymore.

His mood became extremely depressed.

Feeling that he must have disappointed Jiu Shu with this kind of behavior right now.

Even though he had become a couple with Jiu Shu, he was still too careful, making every move cautiously, fearing that he would make Jiu Shu’s heart turn against him.

But he still did it wrong.
 

He endeavored to search for any information that might be useful, but the flow of information on the internet was so complicated that even Zero Three had his pick of the litter.
 

He picked one of the most purchased relationship guide bookstores, only to find that its contents were completely contrary to his perceptions.

 

Jiu Shu must have grown tired of him acting like that.
 

Zero Three lowered his head forlornly.

“Okay, don’t dwell on it; it’s time to rest.”

Even bionics should rest.

Jiu Shu’s gentle voice yanked Zero Three out of his negativity.

His fingers were held by Jiu Shu as he walked out of the bathroom.

Zero Three followed behind like an obedient large dog.

“Don’t be afraid to be nervous; to tell you a secret, I’m actually nervous too.”

Jiu Shu made Zero Three sit on the edge of the bed while he himself leaned back and sat in his arms, allowing them to face each other.

They were close enough to feel each other’s breath.
 

Looking into Zero Three’s eyes, which were filled with thick, almost morbid love, Jiu Shu tightened his arm that was placed between Zero Three’s neck.

“We are lovers, aren’t we? It’s okay to be nervous.”

A soft smile, almost compelling, appeared on the beautiful face.

Perhaps the system was right.

At the beginning of each world, he was actually slightly nervous.
 

Under the calm surface, he would also be nervous about whether the object of punishment would still love him as much as before.

Though it was fine even if he no longer loved him, perhaps it was the affection of these few worlds that had made him form a habit.

The thought of the object of discipline truly no longer loving him would cause some frustration to rise.

And now this kind of greedy, almost suffocating affection was what Jiu Shu wanted to see the most.
 

Jiu Shu arched an eyebrow and hid the sigh in his eyes.

He had probably been lonely for too long while he was still out of the system’s control, and such a love that was too paranoid for ordinary people was just right for him.
 

Zero Three looked at Jiu Shu in his arms, fascinated by his soft gaze, and slowly hugged him.

“Hmm.”

Jiu Shu didn’t dislike his nervousness.

Zero Three’s tense mood thus relaxed, and following the posture in the tutorial, he placed his hands on Jiu Shu’s waist.

Jiu Shu’s waist was strong and thin yet soft to the touch; he couldn’t help but rub it gently.

“Itchy.” Jiu Shu’s body was very ticklish and couldn’t help but soften in Zero Three’s arms.

He smiled as his cheeks flushed, becoming more and more beautiful to look at.

Zero Three’s dark eyes returned to their previous brightness.

Although he was still a bit shy, he finally gathered the courage to kiss Jiu Shu’s cheek.

A light and lingering kiss.

It was slowly extending to the corner behind his ear.

Snap! The lights went out, and the falling curtains covered everything in the room.

The suppressed gasps and the unbearable moans didn’t stop until dawn.

It wasn’t until the sun had risen that Jiu Shu closed his eyes wearily.

Leaning on the pillow, his brow was slightly furrowed, and there were many more hickeys on his white back.

His wrists also carried red marks, marks from when he tried to wrap his arms around Zero Three’s neck to secure his body.

Those tutorials were really harmful.

The object of discipline actually did take it seriously.

The various strange postures, coupled with the difference in size between him and Zero Three, made even Jiu Shu a bit overwhelmed.

“Delete all those books later.”

Jiu Shu said sleepily, gradually falling into a deep sleep.

Zero Three nodded quietly and guiltily, reaching out his hand and carefully rubbing the marks on Jiu Shu’s wrist.

He didn’t mean to; he just couldn’t hold back.

As a bionic human, this was a loss of control that shouldn’t have happened.

Such behavior of indulging in desires like a human and being unable to stop himself made Zero Three feel guilty.

As Zero Three thought of this, his movements lurched, and he lowered his eyes to look at his wristwatch.

The black infection symbol on it had long since been eliminated by him.

“……”

It should be because of the damaged chip; his mood swings have been so great lately that even his control has weakened.
It wasn’t an infection.

Zero Three indifferently thought so, but his eyes became more and more gloomy.

It was only when his gaze went to Jiu Shu that his empty eyes gained a trace of light.

He had done the most intimate thing with Jiu Shu, and that was enough to bury all his low emotions.

He would stay this close to Jiu Shu.

Always.

They wouldn’t be disturbed by those unpleasant things.

The corners of Zero Three’s mouth rose as he looked at Jiu Shu’s sleeping face.

He didn’t know how long he watched, but he looked at the time and carefully got up and tidied up his room.

Although he was a combat-type bionic human, his housework ability was equally strong.

Jiu Shu was usually busy with work, and although the room was quite tidy and not quite messy, it was inevitable that there were corners to clean.

Zero Three tidied up all of them in a virtuous manner.

His movements were light and sharp, and he didn’t make too much noise to disturb Jiu Shu’s sleep.
He just hoped that when Jiu Shu woke up and looked at the tidy room, he would be in a happier mood.
 

He wanted to make up for his mistake last night.

Thinking of the way Jiu Shu’s forehead hair was wet with sweat and the corners of his eyes were red last night, Zero Three got a little lost in thought again.

But luckily, he quickly came back to his senses and continued to clean up his room.

Today, he should actually go to work, but for some reason, Zero Three didn’t have the same sense of urgency for work that he used to have.

That job that used to give him the only meaning of existence now seemed to have become less important.

A more important existence had accompanied him.

Zero Three walked over to his computer and wiped down the desktop when his eyes suddenly glanced at a message popping up on the computer’s unclosed desktop.

It was a hotspot push.

There was a very familiar face on it.

Jiu Shu is wearing a mask.

There were also a few lines of bolded words.
 

[The masked beauty with three wrong views ? !It turns out that his real identity is…]
A few punctuation marks in the title grabbed the eye.

“……”

Zero Three’s pitch-black pupils focused on the news and clicked on the video link in the news.

It was a video of an account on the hottest video platform of the moment.

An account channel with tens of millions of followers is called Toxic Interview.

It was those college students.

Zero Three recognized the people in the account photo.

They had released a video in the morning.

The video was of them interviewing random couples in an uptown playground, speaking sharply and nonchalantly picking on the couples.
 

It also steered the conversation towards bionics as a way to increase the sensitivity of the topic.

“As you all know, recently, due to the constant economic depression, not only the people in the lower city but also many of the people in the upper city are having hard times.

This is coupled with the resistance’s recent behavior of harming humans and looting their supplies.
 

Malice towards bionics on the internet has spread as a result, and the conflict between humans and bionics has intensified.”

“Adding bionic people to the video will definitely get attention.”

“The one in front is pretty good-looking; let’s go over and take a look!”

In the video, college student A looked kind and was smiling as he approached the youth wearing a mask not far away.
 

“We’re going to show a video in a moment; please look, this is the video.”
 

“The bionic man in the video is a bionic star; the video was quite popular recently; everyone knows about it.”

“Don’t look at the miserable appearance of this star named David now; in the past, he was a generation’s core memory; he was so popular that no one didn’t know about him.
Now he’s been reduced to scrap.”

It was such a strong contrast to the human stars of the same period, who were now well respected and well clothed, that it was wildly circulated on the internet during this time.

Watching bionics fall on hard times was just so exciting.
 

However, there was also a small group of older generations on the internet who had seen the film before and felt sorry for him, but they were just paying lip service to him with no desire to actually save him.

 

There wasn’t much love for the bionics.

But for the swarming populace, their stance wasn’t stark enough; instead of laughing at the Bionic Man, they felt pity for him.

That made them traitors to humanity.

“Didn’t some people on the internet feel sorry for this man before? Let’s see if there really could be this kind of traitor in reality.”
 

“I’m asking what you think of this bionic man.”

In the image of the shifting lights and shadows, the masked youth was only half in front of the camera at first, revealing his well-defined collarbone.

In the interplay of darkness and neon, he appeared to have a cold white complexion.

“He’s pitiful and needs people’s help.”

It wasn’t Jiu Shu’s voice.

Zero Three stared at the screen dead on, his eyes scanning over the comments below the video.
 

All of them were slurs against Jiu Shu.
 

[Though the man seems to be good-looking, he actually felt sorry for the bionic! Did his parents give him less brains?]

[Sympathizing with a machine? He can kill you with a single stroke of his hand, and you sympathize with him?]

 

[Reveal his identity; he should be exposed!]

[This is the kind of content that pisses me off. Someone chop this guy up; otherwise, what’s the use of just reading it?]

Zero Three’s always-wooden eyes became extremely eerie.

The infection value on his wristwatch rapidly spiked without him noticing.

If it weren’t for the fact that Zero Three had already disconnected it from the police network, he would have been on the police wanted list by now.

This infection value had already surpassed the currently known records.

It was the level at which, once exposed, it would have to be wiped out immediately.

Zi Zi…
Inside the resistance stronghold.

The current began to become unstable.

The Resistance Army, who had been busy all night, were busy with their hands and feet as they handled the various experimental data.

They didn’t know what was going on; they were obviously ready to welcome the birth of the AI Adam, but who knew that after a short data spike, Adam’s consciousness fell asleep once again, showing no signs of waking up?
 

Such a strange phenomenon made the resistance researchers puzzled, and after a whole night’s work, they couldn’t figure out the reason.

ZiZi…

Amidst the sound of electric currents, the crowd let out an alarmed cry.

“It’s starting to generate fluctuations again!”

Last night, a few brief fluctuations were generated, then it went silent, and now it finally reappeared again.

Inside the flat room.

The video was still continuing.

The shaking image finally focused on the youth’s proper face.

A pair of clear eyes gazed into the camera.

Even with the mask covering them, they were still so beautiful that one could not say anything.
 

[He looks… He’s really quite good-looking.]
 

[It’s useless to be good-looking; his three views are not correct!]
 

[But he looks good, and I feel that what he said also has a few points of reason.]
 

The wind direction of the comment section changed a lot after the youth showed his face.

It was basically divided into those who were compelled by beauty and those who were still full of malice.

In this rebellious new generation, people had long been used to tweaking artificial faces, and the first time they saw a naturally beautiful face that was even more beautiful than a celebrity’s, all of them felt that their eyes lit up.

Their values were now based on his facial features.

[He’s wearing a mask; don’t you know how many mask ki-llers there are? I can’t believe this person is good-looking.]
[TN: mask ki-ller: people that look good in masks, but are actually ugly without any covers]

 

 

[I think he’s just ugly!]

The comment section got rowdy.

Zero Three looked again at the initial news report, which was about this video.

Although it had only been released for half a day, it had caused a great impact across the internet.

The news described that the reason was mostly because of the youth wearing a mask.

His beauty was such that people couldn’t take their eyes off him, and his predilection for bionics was unabashed, the two forming a strong contradiction.

Naturally, it became the focus of the news.
 

Even in just half a day, netizens guessed his identity from the minutiae, the small red mole behind Jiu Shu’s ear, and the information obtained from the iris scan.
 

He was a small anchor who had once retired from the network because the netizens had exposed his unedited photos.
 

There was even a photo of him that had been exploded.
 

A face that was mediocre to the extreme.

It was a world away from the young man in the video, whose eyes were bright, but if you looked closely, his features were indeed somewhat similar.

[So he’s really a mask ki-ller, ah.]
 

[Gosh, ugly people make a lot of mistakes; can’t you be quiet? [Don’t come out to pollute people’s eyes!]

 

 

[He seems to be an underground idol in the downtown area, is said to be quite hot, and will be on the show.]

[Really? How dare he show his face? Anyway, I’m going to curse the showrunners as soon as he’s on the show. How dare they find an ugly guy to participate in the show!
 

All kinds of abuse and curses were unpleasant to the ears, and there were even some people who were originally moved by Jiu Shu’s beauty who began to personally attack him in anger.

Zero Three looked at these comments with little expression on his face, but his aura became terrifying.

Zip-
 

The current fluctuations within the Resistance stronghold became more and more violent, and the Mechanical Core seemed to be following these currents to the outside network to find the humans he wanted to find.
 

“It’s Adam! Adam is about to wake up!”
 

The crowd within the stronghold shook their fists in exuberance, once again anticipating the awakening of the AI.
 

Inside the room at that moment.

“What are you looking at?”
 

Jiu Shu, who had just woken up from a nap, stood up behind Zero Three, who was sitting in front of the computer desk, and lazily placed his chin on the nape of Zero Three’s neck.

His long eyelashes fluttered, raising his eyes to the screen in front of him.
 

“Nothing, just watching the news.” Zero Three hid the residual malice in his eyes and lowered his head in some panic.
He was a very normal lover who wouldn’t have the slightest bit of malice towards humans.
 

And Zero Three, who was busy hiding his expression, didn’t notice that he had inadvertently clicked on the live stream of that video account just now.
 

Within the computer instantly came out the voice of a college student pretending to be kind: “I actually guessed at that time that that tall man was a bionic human; the video didn’t cut it out, but I did see it; underneath the bandages tied around his wrists was the code that bionic humans have when they are shipped out of the factory.”
 

“He’s definitely a bionic man!”
 

The pupils of Zero Three, who had his back turned to Jiu Shu, dilated.

Zip: The circuits within the Resistance stronghold tripped violently as if someone were on the verge of an emotional breakdown; the lines collapsed completely, and the entire stronghold was plunged into darkness.
 

At the same time, many of the bionic people in the stronghold who were connected to the internal network inexplicably felt a sense of despair and unwillingness spreading through their consciousness and could only tremble and lower their heads, their emotions on the verge of collapse.
 

Those who weren’t connected to the network revealed blank expressions, staring in confusion at the darkened stronghold around them.
 

They were all unsure of what exactly was happening.

TN:

I got sicker. ◉⁠‿⁠◉

The next chapter is even longer but I don’t want to split it into, I’ll try my best to be done with it by tomorrow or next.

 

See ya ✌️
