Yan Luqing didn't have any feelings for this artificial mental retardation at first, but apart from Gu Ci, only this artificial mental retardation knew all her secret existence in this world.
In the beginning, Yan Luqing didn't regard it as a "person" at all, let alone friends, and even classified it as a spokesperson for the system. But as she gradually got acquainted, she realized that it was not at all. This artificial mental retardation was really not bad, and it was pretty cute most of the time, and it also gave her a lot of joy.
During the period when Makabaka disappeared, Yan Luqing's occasional habit of trying to find someone to complain in her mind could not be realized. When it suddenly appeared like this, she found that she was surprised.
The robot was exactly the same as the one she saw when she first crossed over. It was still very ugly and distinctive. Yan Luqing got out of bed and sat in front of the ugly robot: "Hey, I didn't say that you have left your job without permission for too long, right? ! This is almost half a month!"
Macabaka's "head" turned, and the voice still sounded wronged: "Maria, I don't want to! I'm stuck there—I went to the headquarters to complain, and then—" It stuck. It seemed that after thinking about how to describe it, he continued, "It's the system you understand. It doesn't know why. After scanning me, it threw me into the confinement place and locked it up! Fuck! I didn't make a mistake again!"
Yan Luqing was taken aback by her sudden burst: "Doesn't that thing deduct money if you swear at it? Be careful."
"Oh, yes, yes, I can’t scold it, I’ll withdraw." The robot raised his hand, and covered his mouth with a "puff", and started the initial babble again, "Well, I'm so awkward in short, I'm all Those who appealed in accordance with the procedure, it’s up to me if they don’t give me an explanation! In the end, a senior who I’m good at now let me go."
The more Yan Luqing listened to it, the more he felt that his idea was right: "So you really are... like a company? Where are you a human? It's just another world?"
"Almost... the world I'm in will be slightly more advanced."
Macabaka should be too euphemistic. If its world has such a strong ability to intervene in other worlds, then it is impossible for it to be only a little advanced.
Yan Luqing changed his posture and sat cross-legged, and asked, "Why did you suddenly use this ugly robot? Wasn't it very convenient like that before?"
"I can't go back now!" Makkabaka said, "The channel that I used to communicate with you when I was at work was closed. It would not let me go back to where I was before. That's why I took out this robot again. It can only appear next to you in this form."
"Closed?" Yan Luqing was stunned for a moment, "Then you can summarize now, what did you do this time when you went back."
"I, I was inexplicably locked up as soon as I went back, but because I had a close senior, he had a good time in the confinement... Then, I remembered that I broke into the main control room before I was locked up and saw A very important thing, but when it drove me out, it also scanned my memory, probably to prevent me from telling you secrets that shouldn't be told."
Yan Luqing: "What important thing did you see?"
The robot stretched out two "fingers" that looked like iron rods, right the fingers, and whispered: "I forgot."
Yan Luqing held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but spit out words and words: "... It's really too much to worry about!!"
Macabaka: "... QAQ"
It justified its name: "I am really the first to graduate! It definitely tampered with my memory during the scan! Maria, you believe me ah oh oh oh..."
"Okay, then I'll give you another chance."
Yan Luqing said again about the dream he had just before waking up.
"Why do I dream of the original world? Am I not dead? Is this a fiction or a real thing? If the original author really opened a book, what does it have to do with me? Is it possible that the protagonist is me?"
The clown robot of Macabaka turned his mind, and it was almost 180 degrees. The first outstanding graduate who graduated was stunned and spit out: "I, I haven't learned this..."
Cold field.
"That's it, that's it! First place!" Yan Luqing slapped the floor, stood up with a sneer, and looked at the robot with arms folded, "Tell me the truth, you have no enemies to survive until now, huh? Is there an enemy country? The enemy country hurry up to attack, I can't stand it anymore."
Macabaka started crying again.
While crying, she asked, "Maria, what have you been doing lately? There is no sudden punishment, right?"
"That's not true."
"I..." Yan Luqing mentioned that someone couldn't control the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "I haven't been doing anything recently, so I just fell in love with the princess."
When Yan Luqing went downstairs, the robot also moved behind her. She casually said, "Why are you following?"
Macabaka: "It's okay, anyone else can't see it anyway."
Oh, yes, before she asked Black and White to fix the robot in her room, which scared the two brothers.
"But you follow, I am not like a mental illness talking to the air..."
The robot followed its footsteps, and went downstairs intelligently without making any noise. Yan Luqing walked to the edge of the sofa. When he was about to sit down, the wolf suddenly screamed and ran over.
From the perspective of Xiao Hei, the wolf is no different from spinning around Miss Yan's legs.
But Miss Yan knows herself—
The wolf didn't bark at her, but at the robot beside her leg.
Yan Luqing was stunned again, and said in a low voice, "Isn't it all you can't see? How can a wolf see? It's not that people can't see it, but animals can see it?"
"How is it possible! Of course you can't see animals! Unless—" Makkabaka said with a pause, hesitating: "Maria, I seem to be... what I did to the wolf."
"???"
Yan Luqing wanted to get crooked for the first time, and looked at its body shape, thinking that this fucking doesn't match either. Besides, robots don't have a male and a female. What should they do if they cross species? In the next second she realized that this "do" is not the other "do".
… It's all to blame for Xiao Mahua and Princess Ci for ruining her!
She cleared her throat before asking, "What did you do to the wolf?"
"I don't remember... But since it can see me, I must have done it before."
"..."
Originally, artificial mental retardation was just for fun, but now it has become a real-hammer amnesia version of artificial mental retardation. Yan Luqing raised his middle finger to the ceiling. The dog system really has you.
She turned on the TV casually, "I can't talk too much, my son can't stand the excitement."
Makabaka naturally knew who her son was referring to, and said: "Okay, then I said, what does Maria want to hear?"
"Yeah..." Yan Luqing thought for a few seconds, without knowing why, a word suddenly popped out of his mind, "Didn't you talk about it before, did you hear that the reborn characters in the gossip are all amazing? Let's talk about those people. Well, let’s just talk about... what's the difference between them and normal people."
"Okay!" Makkabaka said excitedly, "This is my strength!"
"After being reborn, it’s completely different from other people in this world. It’s not obvious when I was reborn, but it will become stronger as the rebirth time gets longer. For example, it’s not restricted by rules, there is no plot line, and I heard In the gossip, there is a big guy who has been to our headquarters!"
"... Can people from other worlds go to your place? How to go?"
"I don't know, these are all legendary gossips, I haven't seen them for real!" Makkabaka said, "If I have seen them for real, I would not have been the newly hired me. The senior sister said that I had brought the rebirth boss. All of them have been promoted and raised to the pinnacle of their lives."
Yan Luqing thought for a while: "What counts as rebirth? Isn't it like me who wears books after death?"
"There are two types of rebirth. The most common one is rebirth in other worlds. It’s like wearing a book after death. But the kind I’m talking about is rebirth in the original world—a person who dies in one world and lives again. It is very, very difficult to rebirth in the same world."
It is difficult, but not impossible.
Yan Luqing asked again: "So what are the conditions for this?"
"Yes," the current Macabaka is worthy of its number one title, and he must answer any question. "First of all, he must have some obsession, what he really wants to accomplish but has not completed, and a particularly powerful mind. This is the most important thing, and there are some fragmentary additional conditions, such as he can’t have any holidays with the protagonist group of this world, that is, the group of people who master the luck... However, this kind of person is often reborn The former is also a big boss."
"Then since you were a big boss before rebirth, what obsessions can you have?"
"For example, to die inexplicably, such as to be unable to ask a lover... There are many reasons."
Yan Luqing casually watched the picture on the TV.
"Will the rebirth boss be like a humanoid bug that you spit on like Gu Ci?"
The robot was quiet for a few seconds.
"I don't know." It slowed down, "Does Maria think that Gu Ci is—"
"Well, it's mainly because you complained too many times that Gu Ci was very unreasonable. That's why I thought about it before."
But after listening to Makabaka in detail, she denied this idea.
"I suspected it a long time ago. As a top student, I still have a keen sense of smell!" Makkabaka raised his head and said, "But he doesn't meet the most critical point at all."
That's right.
To be reborn, the first and most important point is obsession.
What obsession does Gu Ci have? The ending written for him in the book, he ended his life when he reached the pinnacle of life in the eyes of others after doing all the things he wanted to do and should do.
He was not killed, he had no emotional lines, no people he liked, and nothing that he couldn't do.
Where is the obsession.
"Hey..." Yan Luqing sighed and deliberately said, "I really didn't expect my wife to be so powerful, so that the first graduate would be helpless."
The robot turned his head unconvinced, but before he could say anything, there was a sound of a door at the door. All humans and non-humans present turned their heads to the source of the sound. All black and white also walked behind Yan Luqing and bowed their heads. Greeting card.
Just now the two brothers were far away, plus the TV was on, and they didn't notice anything unusual about their Miss Yan.
Yan Luqing watched his wife, who had just finished complimenting, take off her coat as she walked in, her movements were very natural and smooth.
He first looked towards him, then swept his gaze to the location of the wolf beside her leg, and paused slightly.
Gu Ci walked to the sofa and asked in a faint voice with his eyes down.
"Where did the robot come from."
Like thunder on the ground.
Yan Luqing was stunned, and then she and Makabaka hadn't reacted yet, and the big and small black standing on the edge suddenly jumped on the spot at the same time—
Jumped away from her and Gu Ci's side at least two or three meters.
"..."
Gu Ci squinted his eyes, as if thinking about the reason for her stupid son's reaction.
Yan Luqing remembered that in the few days he had just walked through, Gu Ci had never entered her room, and the robot had never left her room—so he might have seen the robot made by Makabaka from beginning to end. Just never met.
Considering the mental state of the two of them, Yan Luqing didn't say a word, and immediately got up and took Gu Ci upstairs.
As everyone knows, this action seems to be more confirmation of certain things to outsiders.
There are few big black words, but I can't help but repeat the key words mentioned by Gu Ci just now: "Did you hear it too? Robot?"
Xiao Hei nodded in horror: "Is it the robot that we went to Miss Yan's room to search for a long time but didn't find it a few months ago?"
Before Da Hei could answer, he immediately ran to Da Hei and hooked his shoulders tightly, "Brother, I'm so scared, what should I do? What does this mean? Miss Yan has always had such a robot beside him, but we Can't see...?"
"What nonsense!" Da Hei said, "Miss Yan, that is... that is... the situation is not stable."
"Then how to explain Gu Ci?" Xiao Hei guessed wildly, "Could it be that mental illness is contagious? The more intimate the more contagious, so after they fell in love, Gu Ci also contracted it?"
Even in such a frightened situation, Da Hei still unconsciously began to verbalize: "... Have you ever read a book?"
"Of course I've read it! But how do you explain this robot! Isn't it the only reason that they are crazy?"
The living room was silent for a long time, the room was full of sunshine, but an atmosphere of horror was permeated.
"Xiao Hei." Da Hei said suddenly.
"What, what's wrong bro?"
"Have you ever heard a saying." He said in a low voice, "When you feel that everyone around you is sick, it may not be that they are sick, but..."
Xiao Hei seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer, and suddenly sat on the ground, hugging his head in horror.
Yan Luqing took Gu Ci into his room, and the robot went in with him like a bug.
Yan Luqing pointed at the follower and introduced Gu Ci: "This is the one! That, the one I told you about—"
Gu Ci accurately received her message: "That... waste helper?"
"right!"
Macabaka: "???" It raised its hand questioningly: "Maria, who is the trash helper?"
"You, the first waste helper in graduation."
As soon as Yan Luqing finished answering, Gu Ci laughed aside, and then repeated word by word, "Maria?"
"..."
NS! Forgot to turn off this shame code name! She didn't confess this when she confessed!
Gu Ci's jacket was wearing a black sweater, which was in stark contrast to the exposed skin. He had just returned from the outside, and his body was still cold, which made his fair skin look like ice and snow.
He walked to Yan Luqing and asked again: "Maria is you?"
Yan Luqing closed his eyes, and took the Macabaka shark 800 times in his heart, and bit the bullet and admitted: "Yes... my code name."
"Who got it for you?"
do my best! Let's talk about the big deal.
Yan Luqing raised his eyes and admitted frankly, "I took it myself."
"Oh," Gu Ci's eyes bend more clearly, "Why Maria?"
"I just wore it at that time... In a character like this, I want to use this code name to hint at myself at all times, to be tolerant to others, to atone for sins, to be a Virgin..."
Gu Ci seemed to be choked. He suddenly turned his head and coughed twice before continuing to smile and ask, "What then? Did you do it?"
"It seems not." Yan Luqing recalled, "The replacement number should be the day before we went to Jin's house, and afterwards..."
"Later?"
She said with difficulty: "The next day, I took someone to break the young master Jin's leg and bald the top of the distant cousin's head."
Gu Ci had been standing very close to her just now, but suddenly lowered his head and put his forehead on her shoulder. This posture is awe-inspiring, but Yan Luqing, as the person in direct contact with him, obviously felt his smile tremble slightly.
"Huh," Yan Luqing snorted awkwardly, "it won't happen."
Gu Ci smiled for a while before raising his head from her shoulder, the hair on her forehead was slightly messed up, and the eyebrow smile became more conspicuous, "Well, it's not that, I didn't control it."
Yan Luqing was hot on his face when he smiled, and he immediately changed the subject: "I brought you in because I wanted to tell you business!" She continued pointing to the robot and said to Gu, "Ordinarily, you shouldn't see it except me. You won’t talk about it, the wolf can actually see this robot. Macabaca said that it must have done something to the wolf, but it can’t remember it anymore."
"Wolf?"
Gu Ci's smile faded slightly, recalling what Yan Luqing said casually not long ago, and the scene in which he picked a number for himself last night also flashed in his mind.
"Its recent change is that toys have changed from letters to numbers. Did you do this?"
Macabaka's voice became smaller unconsciously: "If it's the only change, it might be me."
The robot looked at him, and Yan Luqing also looked at him.
In this scene, there is quite a feeling that two headless, fly-like children see their father at the same time and finally have the feeling of relying on them.
"..."
Gu Ci took Yan Luqing’s hand and walked towards the door. Just as Yan Luqing wanted to ask, he saw him opening the door and saying, "You told me that it spelled '25' on the night we left. The monitor in the living room can see it. What numbers have you spelled recently? See the pattern when you connect them together."
Yan Luqing was shocked: "Is there a surveillance system in my living room? Also, you remembered all the numbers my dog spelled until now?"
"..."
Gu Ci didn't answer her words, took her to ask her son for the key, and went directly to the third floor monitoring room.
Five minutes later, Gu Ci called up the surveillance camera closest to the place where the wolf usually played with toys, and found that it had been put together half a month ago. The first number was 30, which was the third day after they had just fallen in love. From then on it is 29, 28, in descending order, one less number every day.
It often spells a number and puts it there and then ignores it. To play with other numbers, only that number is motionless. If someone accidentally touches it, it runs back and spells another one, which is very abrupt.
This behavior continued after they left.
Today it spells 16.
In other words, there are two possibilities for the number 7 it picked up last night. One is that the wolf is simply playing, recording them walking for 7 days, and the other is because the number 17 can't be picked up to him at the same time.
"It's counting down." Gu Ci settled down, turned his head to look at the robot, "What did you let it count down?"
It was completely different from the attitude when speaking to Yan Luqing, although it didn't have a bad attitude, it just made people feel cold.
Xiao Ma was inexplicably deterred and hadn't organized her language yet, Yan Luqing answered for it, "This waste helper is now more wasteful than ever. It is now a waste of amnesia, and I can't remember the reason at all."
"..."
The waste helper rubbed Yan Luqing gratefully. Yan Luqing touched its steel head. She didn't notice. Gu Ci's eyes were obviously dark when she heard the word "amnesia".
He said again: "I remember everything related to this matter, say it all."
Makabaka was inexplicably nervous about Gu Ci, without a preface, and barely repeating what he had said to Yan Luqing before.
"In other words," Gu Ci said casually while turning off the computer, "you found one thing the first time you went back, but you can't come back and can't contact her, so I have to let the wolf send a signal. At present, There are still sixteen days before this incident happened."
"..."
In a godlike summary, the robot crunched and nodded: "Yes, that's right!"
Then it turned its head one hundred and eighty degrees, and said to Yan Luqing, "Maria, you have a good vision! You and the princess are a perfect match!"
Yan Luqing was happy when he heard this, and took the words that he often said in his heart: "Yes, right? The princess words are the incarnation of wisdom and beauty."
"..." Gu Ci just got up at this moment, and heard the conversation between the two and a rather abrupt address inside, and turned his head slowly.
He said to the robot: "Who do you think she is a perfect match for?"
"!" Fuck!
Yan Luqing realized that something was wrong in an instant, and hurriedly went to cover the robot’s mouth, but the robot didn’t use the "mouth" to speak, and Macabaka’s answer reached the ears of the two of them: "Princess words, Maria set up for you. The code name. If we see me, we will reflexively call the code we set before."
"..."
The small room quickly fell into silence because of this sentence.
Several clips flashed in Gu Ci's mind. At the hotel, when Yan Luqing opened WeChat on his mobile phone, he glanced at him accidentally and didn't pay attention to what the remark she gave to himself was, but there was indeed a "Princess" on the whole page. "Two words.
This is the place to watch the surveillance. There is only one chair. Before Gu Ci was sitting, Yan Luqing was leaning against him beside him. As soon as he stood up, the chair was empty.
Gu Ci suddenly stretched out his hand and took her shoulders, the strength was very light, but the strength was hard to resist. Before Yan Luqing could react, he had already pressed him to sit on the only chair.
Then he moved naturally to prop up his hands on the chair, just leaning over her, Yan Luqing raised his head just to look at him.
Gu Ci curled her lips and smiled, confirming to her softly, "Yan Luqing, what code did you give me?"
"..."
It's over.
It's over, it's over, he heard it! ! !
The robot on the side had already consciously covered his steel eyeballs with his claws.
Yan Luqing was struggling to death, trying to please: "I just clearly praised you... you are the incarnation of wisdom and beauty, your focus is wrong, why don't you listen to the second half?"
"..." Gu Ci snorted lightly, and suddenly changed her expression, as if she wanted her to have a long memory, so she used this posture that was not princess at all, not princess at all, and asked quite aggressively:
"Say it again, who is the princess word?"
Yan Luqing was about to be suffocated by the embarrassment of this atmosphere, but two seconds later, her brain flashed in the cracks, and she found an answer that could express her desire to survive.
Gu Ci watched someone's dog eyes suddenly open round and bright, and his cheeks were pink and tender, and suddenly he amplified his voice and said:
"My husband is."
"..."
