IRCDM Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Cooperation – Dislike

East Fourth District, Kai Angsa Club.

Shuang Ta lay on the soft sofa, a tall man in uniform patiently peeling grapes for him. Two other men in white shirts were massaging his feet. He listlessly sighed and waved his hand at Cen Weng, who was walking in, signaling for everyone to leave.

“Boss, what do you want now?” He grabbed a bunch of grapes from the side and devoured them irritably.

Cen Weng said, “Mr. Yi sent a message. Liang Huan and Pei Zhong have both defected. He wants us to eliminate these two to prevent others from using it as leverage to cause trouble for Mr. Yi.”

Shuang Ta’s delicate eyebrows drooped, “I’m always helping you, but you don’t provide enough men.”

Cen Weng said, “You can pick any man you want in Kai Angsa.”

“They’re all garbage. There aren’t many useful customers either,” Shuang Ta said disdainfully. “Only that Pei Zhong is a bit handsome, but he’s a cripple.”

Cen Weng ignored his complaints, “Mr. Yi said that Liang Huan is causing too much commotion. The military has already started paying attention to him. It’s imperative to act quickly.”

“Fine.” Shuang Ta finished the large bunch of grapes in a few bites. When passing by Cen Weng, he tried to kiss him, but Cen Weng skillfully dodged.

“Old thing, I’m not even complaining that you’re old,” Shuang Ta rolled his eyes.

Cen Weng sighed, “Remember to use the door.”

Shuang Ta, carrying a heavy cannon, jumped out of the window. Immediately afterward, a burst of silvery laughter echoed outside.

Cen Weng’s temples throbbed from the laughter. He tapped his chip, “Mr. Yi, I’ve already sent Shuang Ta.”

Yi Yuan on the other end was silent for a few seconds, “Next time I see him, mute him for me.”

Cen Weng: “…Okay.”

Eastern Third District Black Market, underground laboratory.

“All the pollution sources have been sent to the Mercenary Base’s treatment plant. The Black Market’s pollution level has also reached your requirements.” Mu Bo, with his long hair disheveled and his lab coat worn carelessly, ignored the admiring and lingering gazes around him and stared directly at Su Murong, “When can I leave?”

Su Murong chuckled dryly, “Mu Bo, we still have a few experiments to finish. Your pollution level is very important. Liang Huan said he would come to pick you up after these experiments are done.”

Mu Bo said calmly, “You don’t need to lie to me. I can no longer sense Liang Huan and Li Yao’s information in the Black Market. And yesterday, I heard the guard at the door say that Liang Huan and Li Yao are divorced.”

Su Murong busily fiddled with several test tubes on the table, “Haha, don’t listen to their nonsense. Liang Huan and Li Yao are doing great, really great.”

“Marriage is a constraint on humanity. Morality and responsibility play an important role in love. The feelings of both parents affect the child’s genes.” Mu Bo said, “If they engage in sexual activity when their feelings are good, the children born will definitely be beautiful.”

“Huh?” Su Murong said in shock, “Children, plural?”

Mu Bo sized her up, “Dr. Su, you are the human with the highest mental power level and physical fitness level in this laboratory. Are you interested in engaging in sexual activity with me?”

Su Murong was aghast and waved her hands repeatedly, “No, no, no, that’s absolutely impossible. Although you are very beautiful, you are not my type.”

“Alright.” Mu Bo smiled, “With Liang Huan around, I’m not in a hurry.”

Su Murong said with lingering fear, “Mu Bo, Liang Huan is male, and Li Yao is also male. Why do you think they can have children?”

Mu Bo frowned, “Liang Huan has the ability to make Li Yao give birth. Li Yao’s body is very strong.”

Su Murong exclaimed, “Wow.”

Mu Bo was not discouraged by the rejection of his proposal, after all, Su Murong’s physical fitness level was still a bit lacking. He preferred men with high physical fitness levels like Li Yao, so the partner wouldn’t be too tired during sexual activity.

“I’m going out to find Liang Huan.” Mu Bo pointed to the report in her hand, “There are errors in these data. You need to be more careful when working. By the way, you should still exercise more in your spare time, so you can have more children when you find a marriage partner in the future.”

Su Murong’s face flushed red, and she angrily said, “I have no plans to get married, let alone have children! Can you, a grown man, have some manners! If you like it so much, go and have them yourself!”

Mu Bo tilted his head back at her shout, “I’m sorry, I forgot that this is a relatively private matter for you humans. This is just a friend’s advice. I will definitely find a strong male human partner and work hard to have children.”

Su Murong asked in confusion, “Who’s giving birth?”

Mu Bo said calmly, “Of course, I will give birth myself. I am stronger than humans. I will have many children of my own.”

Su Murong was simply exasperated by him. Fortunately, she had become accustomed to the strange, non-human feeling emanating from Mu Bo during this time in the laboratory. Moreover, she clearly noticed that this non-human feeling was gradually decreasing as Mu Bo interacted with the researchers. However, due to the nature of these researchers’ work, Mu Bo’s personality had been influenced to become stubbornly earnest, which, simply put, meant he had extremely low emotional intelligence.

But his face greatly compensated for this shortcoming.

“Forget it.” Su Murong tapped her chip, “I’ll help you ask Liang Huan to see if he can send someone to pick you up.”

“Thank you.” Mu Bo smiled.

Su Murong gave him a worried look, “If you leave the laboratory, don’t casually ask people about having children and engaging in sexual activity. You’ll get beaten up.”

Mu Bo nodded, “Don’t worry, I will only care about Liang Huan and Li Yao. We are a family.”

Su Murong: “…”

Even stranger, okay!

Eastern Third District Administrative Court Building, sixth floor, Deputy District Chief’s office.

Jinbao looked at the luxurious room map of the building, stars in its eyes, “Master, can Jinbao clean all the rooms here?”

Liang Huan said, “Most of them are fine, but you need to ask for the other party’s consent for private dormitories.”

“You only have this little memory and lubricant. Are you planning to work it to death?” Li Yao sprawled on the sofa, extending his foot to pull the excited robot over, “Honey, if you call me Master, I’ll help you upgrade your system.”

Jinbao said sternly, “Li Yao Master, Jinbao only has one master, and that’s Master.”

“Call him.” Liang Huan said.

Jinbao obediently said, “Hello, Master.”

Li Yao glanced at Liang Huan, “Little robot has no backbone.”

Liang Huan raised his head from the documents, “Also, replace all the parts. All the parts on it are old goods from the second-hand market. Deduct the cost from my account.”

Li Yao said, “What about the repair fee?”

“The Emperor and I will split it half and half.” Liang Huan said without changing his expression, “At least it called you Master.”

Jinbao waved its cleaning cloth excitedly, “Jinbao wants to wipe the entire administrative court building!”

“Little idiot.” Li Yao chuckled and tucked it under his arm, preparing to take it back to his room.

“Just fix it here. Let someone send over whatever you need.” Liang Huan said.

Li Yao said teasingly, “So reluctant?”

He didn’t say reluctant about whom.

Liang Huan glanced at him, “Su Murong just sent a message, saying that Mu Bo insisted on coming over.”

Li Yao’s face instantly darkened, “You haven’t killed that humanoid heteromorph yet?”

“Killing it would cost a great deal, but keeping it can help deal with the problem of pollution sources.” Liang Huan said, “And perhaps we can find clues about the Emperor’s identity from it. Heteromorphs are extremely sensitive to mental energy sources. Even if the Emperor isn’t a heteromorph, he must have a connection with the laboratory.”

Li Yao looked at him with a meaningful expression.

“Aren’t you also investigating the Dawn Laboratory?” Liang Huan calmly accepted his scrutiny, “Li Yao, the Emperor is now completely open with you, but I also understand your concerns. You’re worried that if the Emperor’s mental disorder recovers one day, I will become your enemy.”

Li Yao laughed, “From the moment I returned to this planet, I was destined not to have any companions, so you will definitely be my enemy.”

Liang Huan said, “At least the Emperor is not your enemy now.”

“Otherwise, why do you think I’m willing to stay?” Li Yao raised an eyebrow, “Because of your terrible kissing skills?”

Liang Huan said without changing his expression, “Don’t slander the Emperor.”

Li Yao put Jinbao down and sat back on the sofa, crossing his legs and looking at him, “I do need to investigate the Dawn Laboratory.”

He stared at Liang Huan, seemingly deliberating whether to reveal the relevant information and the cost of telling Liang Huan.

Liang Huan calmly allowed him to size him up. Li Yao was smarter than he had imagined. At least after so much contact, no matter how much entanglement there was in their emotions, no matter how many concessions Li Yao seemed to have made, he had never truly revealed anything to Liang Huan regarding the Dawn Project, the black box, or his true purpose.

Li Yao was like a cunning and intelligent lone wolf. The military seemed to be closing in on him step by step, but in reality, the military was being played by him. At least those spies had never succeeded.

Even Liang Huan, after so much effort, had only barely managed to keep the person by his side.

Li Yao narrowed his eyes, “Once the mental disorder recovers, all the memories from the period of disorder will disappear, you know that?”

“The Emperor knows.” Liang Huan said.

“So even if I use you now, it’s a waste. Helping me now will definitely be detrimental to you after you wake up. Even so, you don’t mind?” Li Yao narrowed his eyes.

“How can you be sure that the Emperor’s awakening will definitely be detrimental to you?” Liang Huan asked, “If the Emperor has no basic value to you now, that is the Emperor’s failure. Since I want to use you, I will naturally give you enough benefits.”

Li Yao laughed, “Including selling my body?”

Liang Huan smiled slightly, “If you like.”

“Tsk.” Li Yao clapped his hands admiringly, “You’re ruthless.”

Liang Huan walked over and sat on the sofa opposite him, taking the tea that Jinbao handed him, “Now can you talk to the Emperor openly and honestly?”

Li Yao curled his lips, “I still have to remind you that I have killed far more spies than you can imagine, including many innocent people. It’s just that I’m too lazy to kill them now.”

“Self-preservation. The Emperor has no comment on this.” Liang Huan politely extended his hand to him.

Li Yao looked at him, raised his arm, and grasped his hand, even pinching his palm a bit impudently.

In return, Liang Huan gently stroked the back of his hand with the pad of his thumb.

Li Yao cleared his throat, released his hand, and said with his arms crossed, “The military’s official data shows that on October 19, New Era 126, I led an advance team of one hundred and twenty-one people and thirty 3S mechas and set off into space. We proceeded according to the pre-designed route and, after reaching the designated location, confirmed the coordinates of the new star system. On November 1, the advance team sent back the detailed coordinates. On March 2, 127, a joint fleet of 100,000 people from the four major districts, east, west, north, and south, officially set off under the leadership of Chen An, the second director of the East District Base Military Department.

Prior to this, multiple tests and rehearsals had been conducted. The exploration ships had reached the outer edge of the new planet, obtaining detailed data and soil and air samples from the planet, confirming that it was suitable for human survival. According to the plans of the Space Research Institute and the Military Academy of Sciences, the advance team needed to use 3S mechas in space to lay down a transition track signal tower, shielding the large number of mental pollution source coordinates left by heteromorphs in space.

The joint fleet was divided into three parts. The head was responsible for military construction, establishing a coordinate signal tower on the new planet, constructing military defenses, and ensuring that the transition track between the home star and the new star was unblocked. The middle part built a transition transfer station and a spaceship docking point in space. The tail carried the most advanced scientists and most of the cutting-edge technology and instruments of the home star, assisting the head and middle parts in completing a series of basic constructions, ensuring that a large number of spaceships carrying humans could safely reach the new star.”

Speaking of this, Li Yao paused and looked at Liang Huan, “Hey, can you understand?”

Liang Huan was silent for a moment, “…Somewhat.”

Li Yao threw him a holographic scene map. With a flick of his wristband, it turned into a thin, long rod. He pointed to the complex coordinates on it and explained to Liang Huan, “To complete the transition, the spaceship needs a large supply of fuel. Limited by the pollution sources left by the heteromorphs and the fuel storage technology, all the thousands of 3S mechas on the home star were taken away by the fleet. They could be used to store fuel and clear pollution source coordinates, laying down signal towers for the transition track. In addition, there were a large number of spare S-class mechas assisting… At the same time, the military and the Academy of Sciences had preset no fewer than dozens of feasible backup plans. Each plan underwent rigorous testing, including contingencies for encountering heteromorph interception, coordinate loss, and even plan failure. Although everyone at the time thought that this plan could not possibly fail.”

He lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in some terrifying memory, his back instinctively tensing up. He said in a deep voice, “But it was such a plan, impossible to fail with the power of all mankind, carrying thousands of 3S mechas and countless energy, with a joint fleet of 100,000 people including cutting-edge scientists, that disappeared completely on September 5, 128. Before disappearing, they did not send any information or coordinates back to the home star, just disappearing into the vastness of space.”

Liang Huan frowned.

Li Yao’s jaw was tight, and his breathing was a little rapid. “On November 1, 129, the home star’s space salvage team salvaged a large number of 3S mecha fragments on the edge of the home star system. Based on the fragments, it was inferred to be almost the total number of mechas carried by the joint fleet. These mechas were the first backup fuel depots of the spaceship, which is also one of the important bases for the subsequent inference that the joint fleet was completely destroyed.”

He raised his eyes to look at Liang Huan, “But there were very few remains of the joint fleet. A large number of remains of the advance team’s spaceship were salvaged at the scene. Except for me, all the lifeboats were damaged. The mental power of all 121 members of the advance team was above S-class. We were also equipped with the most advanced escape chips at the time. Even if the spaceship exploded, it could minimize casualties. Not to mention that the 3S mecha itself was equivalent to a small spaceship. In any case, it was impossible for the entire army to be wiped out.”

Liang Huan handed him a glass of water.

Li Yao didn’t drink it. He looked at the glass of water and said slowly, “But that is the fact. Only my lifeboat was intact. I was the only human who survived in that space. When my lifeboat was salvaged, fragments of the core energy supply system of the joint fleet were also found in the lifeboat’s cabin. If the black box inside can be found, the truth of the failure of the Dawn Project can be clarified.”

“However, the black box of the joint fleet has not been found. Instead, the black box of the advance team’s spaceship was found. The data shows that the last coordinates received by the joint fleet were sent by me personally. And those coordinates had never appeared before. Later, people from the military explored many times and found that the coordinates were contaminated by the heteromorph’s mental energy source. This is the reason why the joint fleet could not find the wreckage.”

Liang Huan said, “So you were identified as a traitor?”

“That’s right.” Li Yao said calmly, “Although this information cannot be found on the Internet, it has long been no secret in the military. But they lack evidence to convict me. Most people think that I hid the black box of the joint fleet. Inside, there is not only evidence of my betrayal, but also a large amount of usable data collected in the Dawn Project. Therefore, those people hope that I can hand over the black box and confess completely.”

He stared at Liang Huan with a calm gaze, as if he was objectively stating the facts, and as if he was weaving a perfect crime report: “However, the data shows that I was salvaged back to the home star on November 1, 129. My body, especially my brain, was severely damaged. It was not until May 2, 130 that I woke up in the hospital of the first prison in the East District Base. After waking up, I forgot everything about the Dawn Project. My memory stayed on the night of the departure of the advance team in 126.”

Liang Huan looked at him with some surprise.

“Don’t doubt, during the three years I was in prison, the military conducted countless experiments, stimuli, interrogations, and tortures on me, but no matter what, I can’t remember.” Li Yao said lightly, “Including where the black box of the Dawn Fleet is. I tried to restart the mecha, just to stimulate my brain, hoping to remember relevant clues. I want to know the truth more than anyone else.”

Liang Huan said, “What about the military chip in the underground laboratory?”

“This is exactly what I want to tell you.” Li Yao said, “That military chip has been in my body since I entered the military. On November 1, 129, I was salvaged back to the home star, and the chip was damaged. Logically speaking, the time should stay on that day. But the chip obtained at the door of Chuan Wu’s laboratory stopped on March 2, 130. But I didn’t wake up in the first prison until May 2, 130, and the military chip can only be activated by myself.”

“You mean, from November 1, 129 when you were salvaged back to the home star to March 2, 130, your military chip was in the activated state. You weren’t always unconscious.” Liang Huan stroked his fingers.

“I don’t know.” Li Yao shook his head with a frown, “I have no memory between May 2, 130 and October 19, 126. I don’t know why I can open the door of Chuan Wu’s laboratory. Maybe I am the real traitor.”

Liang Huan grasped his slightly trembling hand. Li Yao’s palm was cold and piercing, and his face was very ugly, “So I can’t blame the military for sending so many spies to approach me.”

He smiled self-deprecatingly and looked at Liang Huan, “No matter who looks at it, I have the greatest suspicion, what do you think?”

Liang Huan didn’t know when he sat next to him, squeezing his hand tightly, and said lightly, “It doesn’t matter to the Emperor whether you are a traitor or a sinner. The Emperor keeps you by my side only because you are Li Yao.”

Li Yao was stunned for a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth, and opened his mouth after a long time, “I have never told these things to anyone else. I just think–”

Liang Huan pulled his arm, hugged him into his arms gently, squeezed the back of his neck, and said softly, “You are just too tired alone, Li Yao.”

Li Yao stared at the armrest of the sofa, his whole person like a bowstring stretched to the extreme. He chuckled and gritted his teeth, resting his chin on Liang Huan’s shoulder, raising his hand but stiffening in mid-air, like some kind of silent resistance and struggle.

Liang Huan waited patiently, gently stroking his tense back, “The Emperor will find the truth with you.”

Li Yao’s hand slowly rested on his back, and then hugged him tightly, feeling the temperature of Liang Huan’s body through the thin fabric, fresh and powerful. This temperature had a fatal attraction for him, like the only light in the darkness.

He tried to push Liang Huan away, but was hugged even tighter the next second.

“Fuck.” He closed his eyes and cursed, meaninglessly, but suddenly collapsed his shoulders. After a while, he cleared his throat, “What, are you openly acting like a hooligan?”

Liang Huan let go of him and commented, “The Emperor has never hugged a living person like this before. It feels a bit strange.”

Li Yao was about to say something when Liang Huan suddenly reached out and touched his eyelashes. Li Yao closed his eyes subconsciously. After realizing it, he slapped his hand away and said fiercely, “What are you doing?”

“Wet.” Liang Huan stroked his wet fingertips, looking at him with interest, “Li Yao, were you crying just now?”

“I haven’t cried since I was born!” Li Yao said angrily, “Don’t force me to beat you.”

Liang Huan smiled, “What’s wrong with that? The Emperor always cried when I was a child. It’s not a shameful thing. The Emperor likes to see you–”

“Shut up.” Li Yao glared at him, “I’m talking about serious business with you. When did you sit over here?”

“When you looked like you were about to cry.” Liang Huan got closer to him again and said softly, “You said you never mentioned these things to others, does that mean you only trust the Emperor alone?”

Li Yao met his gaze, suddenly seeing the excitement in his eyes and the undisguised meaning of intrusion, like the wicked taste hidden under the gentle and steady surface. He instinctively became a little wary, “I’m talking to you about cooperation. If I don’t trust you, what am I talking about with you?”

Liang Huan smiled slightly, “Then how many points do you think your sincerity is?”

Li Yao narrowed his eyes dangerously, “What do you mean?”

“The Emperor is willing to believe everything you just said.” Liang Huan was not in a hurry, but grasped his wrist, “Li Yao, I hope you don’t let down the Emperor’s trust today.”

“Doesn’t saying that mean you don’t believe it?” Li Yao raised an eyebrow.

“The Emperor believes that you are really tired.” Liang Huan smiled, “And you really wanted to hug the Emperor.”

Li Yao snorted and smiled, “I also think you are very interesting. You have mastered the art of buying people’s hearts.”

Liang Huan said, “The Emperor has always believed that sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.”

Li Yao sincerely met his gaze, “Teach me, how can I be as shameless as you?”

Liang Huan said modestly, “You’ll get used to it.”

Li Yao laughed, and Liang Huan calmly sat next to him, watching him laugh, “Are you better now?”

“Ah.” Li Yao suppressed his smile a little unnaturally, “It’s nothing, it’s just that there’s a bit of shadow.”

“The most important thing now is to find Chuan Wu.” Liang Huan grasped his wrist, and took the opportunity to buckle his fingers, playing with them unhurriedly, “Jing Si and the others still can’t decipher the chip from Wutong Apartment, but the Emperor always feels that his identity is also related to the laboratory.”

“So you agreed to let Mu Bo come over.” Li Yao raised an eyebrow.

“After all, it is also a clue. If you don’t like it, the Emperor won’t let him appear in front of you.” Liang Huan said.

“Your Majesty, you look like a foolish emperor now.” Li Yao said teasingly.

Liang Huan said, “Presumptuous.”

Li Yao turned his head and looked at him provocatively. Liang Huan met his gaze with a smile in his eyes, and his hand lightly rested on his back, pressing him towards himself –

Knock knock knock.

Someone knocked on the door.

Li Yao suddenly reacted, pushed his shoulder away, and raised his chin towards the door. Liang Huan turned his head to look at the door with displeasure, “Who is it?”

“Deputy District Chief, this is You Zhao Chen. May I ask if Li Yao is here with you?” You Zhao Chen’s voice came from outside the door.

“Coming.” Li Yao shouted towards the door, hooked Liang Huan’s chin ambiguously, “Honey, I’m leaving first.”

Outside the door, You Zhao Chen looked at the belated Li Yao, “Why did it take so long? What were you doing in there?”

“Of course, I was discussing serious business with Deputy District Chief Liang.” Li Yao put his arm around his shoulder with a serious expression and led him out, “Little You, tell me, now that you’re in the administrative court, you have to learn to knock on the door.”

You Zhao Chen asked in confusion, “I knocked!”

“Tsk, the timing of knocking on the door is also very important.” Li Yao criticized.

“What a mess.” You Zhao Chen poked him, “I’m telling you something serious. The matter of the protective shield has been investigated. Five years ago, the Lion Company under the Dawn Laboratory came to repair the protective shield for the mercenary base training ground. This special matter requires the signature of the laboratory expert. Guess who signed it?”

Li Yao said, “Chuan Wu?”

“How do you know?” You Zhao Chen was shocked.

Li Yao said, “The underground laboratory of the Black Market needs to buy corpses from the mercenary base. Chuan Wu’s office is in the underground laboratory. Of course, he hopes that more people will die in the mercenary base.”

“This Chuan Wu is too much of a jerk.” You Zhao Chen cursed, “Damn, in these five years, he has harmed so many brothers in our mercenary base!”

Li Yao said coldly, “Sooner or later, we will find this dog bastard.”

“By the way, I got you the instrument to analyze the chip. The equipment you wanted was too expensive. I used the task application to borrow it from Central University. Don’t break it.” You Zhao Chen said, “Thirty million Condensed Coins, I can’t afford to pay for it even if I sell myself.”

“Thanks.” Li Yao patted him on the shoulder.

You Zhao Chen asked suspiciously, “What are you doing with that thing?”

“Helping my wife with a small favor.” Li Yao sighed, “He was still crying and selling miserably in the office just now, saying that those few wastes from Jing Si were useless. What can I do? I can only help him.”

You Zhao Chen imagined the scene of Liang Huan holding Li Yao and crying, and goosebumps immediately appeared on his arms. Liang Huan, this smiling and ruthless character, would kill without blinking an eye, and would probably snap Li Yao’s neck.

“Take it easy.” You Zhao Chen cautiously reminded him, “Liang Huan’s identity is complicated after all, what if…”

“I know.” Li Yao smiled teasingly, looking at the heavy night outside, concealing the coldness in his eyes.

Even in the deep of night, the administrative court building was still brightly lit.

Pu Lan walked behind Lu Lian with a briefcase, “Chief Lu, although Liao Yuan has strongly invited us, is it not appropriate for us to live in the administrative court building like this?”

Lu Lian said, “Since he dares to invite us, why don’t we come?”

What’s more, the few people who entered Wutong Apartment 7104 that day all live in the administrative court building. It is much more convenient for him to live here. The only thing that makes him care is that Liang Huan. This person is very scheming and can turn the Third District upside down in a short period of time. I’m afraid he is not an easy character to deal with. Why is this person always approaching Li Yao?

Pei Zhong was originally a member of the military, and now he has been dismissed and is also mixed up with Liang Huan, not to mention that You Zhao Chen’s identity is special, he was originally a spy sent by the military to Li Yao’s side…

While he was thinking, he was suddenly bumped on the shoulder by a cleaner next to him.

“How are you walking?” Pu Lan reprimanded.

Lu Lian raised his hand to stop him, glanced at the petite cleaner, who was wearing a mask and couldn’t see his appearance, but his military instinct made him feel very uncomfortable: “Are you the cleaner here?”

“Yes.” Shuang Ta raised his eyes, looking at his face and strong and beautiful body, and said softly, “Chief, you are so handsome. Do you know where Chief Pei Zhong Pei lives? I am here to clean his room specially.”

Lu Lian frowned.

Pu Lan reprimanded, “Our chief just moved into the administrative court building tonight. Go ask someone else.”

Shuang Ta hummed and looked at Lu Lian reluctantly, “Chief, I will find you when I am done.”

“No need.” Lu Lian frowned and glanced at him, “Pu Lan, let’s go.”

Pu Lan warned Shuang Ta and quickly followed, not noticing the excited eyes of the cleaner behind him.

“What kind of people are there in the administrative court of the Third District.” Pu Lan looked at the old domestic robots passing by, “They are really crazy with poverty. They can’t even afford to buy cleaning robots. Besides manual labor, it is this kind of broken robot.”

Jinbao, who was happily passing by: “!”

“Hey, Jinbao, what’s wrong with you?” Deng Meng just led people up the stairs and saw it staring at the wall.

“Jinbao is not a broken robot.” Jinbao’s eyes were rippling with tears, “Li Yao Master will update me soon.”

“Ah, okay.” Deng Meng patted its head and turned to Mu Bo, “Teacher Mu, Brother Liang should still be busy now, why don’t I take you back to your room to rest first, and I will tell you when Brother Liang is done.”

Mu Bo nodded, “Thank you.”

“This way.” Deng Meng picked up the garbage thrown on Jinbao’s head, “Jinbao, go back first, and clean tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Jinbao turned around, picked up the small bucket and twisted his butt downstairs.

“The little thing is quite intelligent.” Deng Meng said with emotion, leading Mu Bo to the front of his room.

The cleaner pushing the garbage truck passed by behind them, and Mu Bo looked back as if he felt something.

“Teacher Mu?” Deng Meng called him, “What’s wrong?”

Mu Bo shook his head. Although this person has high mental power and physical fitness, he is too thin and unqualified. He kept Su Murong’s advice in mind and smiled, “It’s nothing. Are there other people living on this floor?”

“Oh, yes, the leaders of the investigation team live on the other side of the corridor.” Deng Meng said in a low voice, “They are here to ask Brother Liang for money, don’t pay attention to them.”

Mu Bo asked, “Is Liang Huan short of money?”

“Yes.” Deng Meng sighed, “The administrative court now owes a lot of money outside. Everyone is worried about this matter. Brother Liang basically has to work until midnight every day.”

“No wonder Li Yao divorced him. They don’t have time–” He paused, and found a word that humans accept more, “And Li Yao go to bed.”

“Hey, hey, hey, Teacher Mu.” Deng Meng stopped him, and said helplessly, “You should rest first.”

Mu Bo nodded, and closed his eyes after Deng Meng left. He promised Liang Huan that he couldn’t use his mental power on humans casually, but searching for the mental wave of a spouse would not affect the human mental energy source. Except for Li Yao and Liang Huan, he evaluated all the humans in the building, and finally selected a favorite target.

It wasn’t until noon the next day that Mu Bo saw Liang Huan.

Liang Huan was approving documents in the office, and Li Yao, who had divorced him, was playing with some cold mechanical metal on the other sofa.

“You’re here, sit.” Liang Huan got up, invited him to sit opposite the sofa, and sat next to Li Yao himself, “I heard you’re looking for me?”

Li Yao didn’t have a good impression of this heteromorph, and lowered his head to concentrate on upgrading the parts for Jinbao.

Mu Bo nodded, “I heard you divorced.”

Liang Huan smiled and said, “Li Yao and I have indeed divorced, but it’s not what you think. Our feelings are still very good now.”

Mu Bo looked at him disapprovingly, “You have been working overtime and don’t have time to accompany your partner. Of course, he will not continue to like you.”

Liang Huan was silent for a moment, “Actually no–”

“You have to have more sexual activity, so that you can better maintain your relationship.” Mu Bo said.

Li Yao almost twisted Jinbao’s head, and Liang Huan picked up the water glass and took a sip uncomfortably, “We will work hard.”

Mu Bo said to Liang Huan, “Humans value marriage very much. Don’t force Li Yao, so that the children born will not be beautiful.”

Li Yao lowered his head and held back his laughter, Liang Huan cleared his throat, “Do you have anything else to come here?”

“Yes.” Mu Bo said seriously, “I don’t want to stay in the underground laboratory anymore.”

Liang Huan and Li Yao looked at each other, and Liang Huan said, “Mu Bo, you can play a greater value in the experiment. If you don’t like being underground, you can come to the newly built laboratory here.”

Mu Bo shook his head, “I don’t like working. Now that our territory has expanded a lot, I also want to find a human spouse.”

Li Yao was a little shocked: “You are looking for a human to have children?”

Mu Bo nodded, “I have already chosen one last night.”

Li Yao said gloatingly, “Who is it? In the administrative court?”

Mu Bo smiled and said, “That’s right. According to human standards, he not only has high mental power and good physical fitness, but also looks very handsome. He lives in a room not far from me.”

Liang Huan vaguely had an ominous premonition: “Living next to you?”

“Yes, I heard other people call him Lu Lian.” Mu Bo said, “I also sent him a love letter in a human way, and if he agrees to have children with me, he will not have time to ask you for money.”
