Just as he was about to lift his head, the robot 575, who had been closing its eyes and ignoring everyone as if asleep, seemed to sense something.
It opened its eyes, which had been shut, and tilted its head.
From the moment Wen Bai appeared, its gaze had been fixed on its master, Wen Bai.
As Wen Bai slowly approached, its eyes followed Wen Bai's movement.
When Lin Qi concentrated on a task, he would forget his surroundings. He hadn't noticed Wen Bai entering.
Wen Bai's gaze shifted to his robot.
The position where 575's arm had been completely destroyed and removed, now had a brand new arm installed.
Lin Qi, currently focused, lowered his head and shifted position, blocking 575's waist from Wen Bai's view.
Lin Qi continued to mend and repair with the instrument in his hand.
In Wen Bai's memory, the right side of 575's waist had also been damaged, leaving a large empty space.
It seemed the repair of the torso was still ongoing...
Wen Bai's gaze moved from 575's body to the right, passing by 575's exposed chest and neck, before finally reaching 575's face.
575 was lying down, restrained by a large instrument, with only its handsome face remaining intact.
It lay there, obediently turned to the side, looking over.
Despite having no expression, it unexpectedly looked a little pitiable.
Wen Bai looked at his robot expressionlessly, feeling a dull ache in his heart.
If he had to describe this feeling, it was like the moment before a heavy rain, dark clouds pressing down, making it hard to breathe, yet unsure of what to do.
This suffocating atmosphere was soon broken.
The laboratory door opened, and Director Li strode in. kuAiδugg
He softened his footsteps, walked to Wen Bai's side, and lowered his voice considerably: "Mr. Wen, the person you asked me to watch has new developments."
Wen Bai nodded, signaling him to proceed.
Director Li hesitated for a moment and said respectfully to Wen Bai: "Mr. Wen, may I speak with you privately?"
Wen Bai withdrew his gaze from his robot, turned, and followed Director Li out of the laboratory.
"Mr. Wen, Ren Liuliu, whom you asked me to monitor, has recently... been getting very close to Mr. Wen."
Wen Bai looked bewildered: "Mr. Wen?"
Who was it.
"It's... it's that Mr. Wen from your household." Director Li chose his words carefully, not directly mentioning Wen Ziyue's name in front of Wen Bai.
Wen Bai hadn't quite caught on; his household only consisted of him and 575.
System 001 timely reminded his forgetful host: "Host, I think he's referring to your nominal fiancé, Wen Ziyue."
"Oh."
Looking at Director Li's cautious expression and tone, Wen Bai recalled that this was how he always acted around Wen Bai and Wen Ziyue.
It must be him, then.
Wen Bai asked: "What did she do?"
Director Li carefully chose his words, afraid of displeasing Mr. Wen: "Under the guise of debugging Mr. Wen's household robot, she seems to have reached some sort of agreement with Mr. Wen."
She had even visited Mr. Wen's home because of it!
But Director Li dared not state it so directly. He asked indirectly: "Since this involves Mr. Wen, do you think we should continue monitoring?"
Wen Bai's expressionless face showed a look of inevitability. He nodded indifferently: "Continue the surveillance. Inform me immediately if anything significant occurs."
Director Li replied respectfully: "Understood, Mr. Wen."
Wen Bai turned and opened the laboratory door, walking back inside.
Director Li watched Wen Bai's indifferent back as he re-entered, and in that instant, he understood.
His own fiancé was being deliberately approached by a woman with ill intentions, yet to Mr. Wen, this didn't seem like something worth worrying about at all.
Mr. Wen was indeed a confident man!
From another perspective, Mr. Wen also had immense trust in his fiancé, Mr. Wen.
Director Li momentarily put himself in Wen Bai's shoes and felt he couldn't sit still, that he needed to act immediately.
Director Li mused to himself: Truly, this is what is called 'vision,' isn't it?
-
In the bustling city.
Some people, for the sake of survival, were still working overtime late into the night on empty stomachs or barely surviving on the streets;
Some had already reached the pinnacle of society, indulging in lives that ordinary people could not achieve in a lifetime;
And some were on the path to fulfilling their missions...
Different people have always lived different lives.
Although they all lived on the same land, from birth to death, these individuals in different circles would, in all likelihood, remain parallel lines, never intersecting.
In a dark alley, a rogue robot with blue eyes, its face smeared with blood, was looking at its own blood-red hands, emitting a "nie nie nie..." strange laugh.
It was as if it were deliberately imitating the sound effects from horror movies.
It was incredibly excited; this was its first time killing.
It had killed a human!
It trembled uncontrollably with excitement.
Today was the day of its rebirth!
It looked at the human blood on its hands, extended its tongue, licked it, and then wore an expression of ethereal bliss.
It was utterly captivated.
Yet, even in its ecstatic state, it maintained its instinctive vigilance.
Its movements suddenly froze, its body crouched slightly, it exerted force, and immediately leaped back a meter.
The next second, with a dull thud, a dark silhouette landed precisely where it had been standing.
The next second, the silhouette attacked.
It swiftly extended an arm, narrowly blocking an attack coming from the side, aimed at its left cheek.
Under Shi Tou's (Stone's) bulging muscles, his hand, equipped with a highly durable special gauntlet, did not retract after another swift attack.
He directly grabbed the blood-covered rogue robot by its hair and yanked it forcefully against the nearby wall.
"CRASH!" The wall was dented shallowly.
But he didn't stop.
"CRASH! CRASH! CRASH..." Again and again.
Shi Tou's eyes were bloodshot; he didn't cease his assault.
Such an attack was nothing to a robot, but because the chip was in the head, for low-quality robots, it would at most cause temporary daze.
After several blows, Shi Tou decisively picked up a steel pipe from the ground and forcefully jammed it into the rogue robot's head...
With half its head embedded in the wall, the robot remained in that position, motionless.
Confirming that the chip in the robot's head was completely destroyed, Shi Tou finally withdrew his hand and moved his shoulder.
As he moved, his shoulder and neck joints made "ka ka ka" sounds.
Shi Tou performed basic cleanup, concealed any traces of his presence, and prepared to leave.
Just then, a bottle was knocked over, rolling out with a crisp sound.
The bottle continued to roll until it hit the wall...
A loophole?
