After realizing that she could survive, Su An became much more obedient.
After all, being unruly would only hasten her death.
Gu Yu’s wandering hands…
Well, she would just pretend not to see them.
One day, she would make Gu Yu pay the price, but not now.
For now, she had to endure!
But the problem was…
On the Control Panel:
[Latest Log: You want her to briefly view you as ___?]
Gu Yu thought for a moment, her mischievous side surfacing, and filled in the blank with “Father.”
In Gu Yu’s arms, Su An thought fiercely:
‘Just you wait! Papa Gu Yu, I will definitely…’
‘?’
‘What on earth?’
‘Why would I think that?’
Su An instantly realized something was wrong.
Checking the log, she found that Gu Yu had tampered with it, and she immediately turned beet red with anger.
‘This pervert!’
“Oh, An’an, what should you call me?”
Gu Yu asked, her mischievous streak growing.
Su An felt as if she had entered Bullet Time, with different thoughts clashing wildly in her mind.
Armies of angels and demons, each leading thousands of troops, launched a charge.
They fought until the sky grew dark and blood flowed like a river!
However, there was no time to wait for a victor.
Remaining silent for too long would make Gu Yu suspicious.
In the end, the desire to see her daughter won out.
Su An said tremulously, “Pa…”
“Good girl!”
Gu Yu smiled slightly.
Having satisfied her whim, she casually changed the preset.
[Latest Log: You are her ___]
[Husband]
Gu Yu filled in the answer without hesitation.
‘Endure. Just wait until Friday! I must see Xiao Xue! Endure. Just because she’s my husband, she can be arrogant for now…’
‘Wait, isn’t Gu Yu a woman? Why husband? At most, it should be a female husband?’
‘No, no, no! It’s wife! I’m the dominant one…’
Glancing at the log, Su An suddenly felt like the sky was falling!
‘Damn it! Why does she keep changing things?’
‘How can a person be so wicked! X﹏X’
“Hmm, An’an?”
Gu Yu knew what she was thinking.
A hint of anger flushed Su An’s cheeks.
(Gu Yu, however, took it as shyness.)
“Hu… husband…”
That was right; she was actually saying “Lao Gu,” but with a bit of a local accent.
Yes, yes, that was exactly it!
Su An comforted herself internally.
Since she had decided to endure, she couldn’t let such a small detail ruin her plan.
Gu Yu also guessed why An’an had been somewhat resistant to her actions the previous night.
Perhaps at that time, An’an thought they were sisters and that they shouldn’t do such things?
Actually, Su An had considered letting the Local Model take over for her, but she was afraid.
The Local Model was too unstable.
it loved to collect her thoughts, and if she wasn’t careful, it could easily cause a major disaster.
For now, it was just verbal.
Su An would just pretend she was acting in a TV drama.
It was still within her range of acceptance—though in reality, she had no choice but to accept it.
‘Friday. Once Friday comes, everything will be fine!’
***
Gu Yu didn’t know what An’an was thinking, but that didn’t stop her from finding the blurred look in An’an’s eyes quite alluring as she held her.
She pressed the tip of her tongue against the roof of her mouth.
Since they were lovers, there shouldn’t be a problem with doing something, right?
This little creature was, on one hand, so cute she tempted one to commit a crime, and on the other hand, so adorable she inspired pity and a desire to protect.
She had missed out yesterday, but now that she had identified the problem, she naturally didn’t intend to miss out again.
However…
‘That bald guy…’
Gu Yu narrowed her eyes.
She felt that person wasn’t quite simple.
“Jing Jing, activate the first level of security measures.”
Gu Yu lightly stroked An’an’s soft hair as she walked down the stairs with a composed air, giving the command to the mechanical sphere.
“Understood.”
In the underground parking lot beneath the villa.
Although Gu Yu didn’t have much of a hobby for cars, she was wealthy, so the garage held many gifted vehicles, several of which were collector’s items.
At that moment, a platform slowly rose from the floor of the garage.
Whoosh!
Cold air dissipated, revealing eight 2-meter-tall Destroyer Series heavy armored robots.
Hum!
Their eyes glowed with a red light.
Beep-beep-beep.
The Plasma Cannons in their hands emitted the sound of a completed charge.
Anyone who stumbled upon this would likely be shocked.
These robots followed a completely different Base Logic from Androids.
Before bionic technology rapidly matured, these were what people understood to be robots!
After the Bionic Human Virus War ten years ago, due to the fear of Androids, humanity restarted research into fundamentalist robots.
Furthermore, with the advent of technologies like electromagnetic pulses specifically designed to counter Androids, the Android legions fell from grace.
These heavy armored robots, which required a fortune to build but could resist electromagnetic pulse weapons, stepped onto the battlefield.
Whir!
As the final layer of the Anti-EMP Energy Defense Field finished loading, they walked out of the underground parking lot with heavy strides.
Reasonably speaking, neither heavy armored robots, Plasma Cannons, nor Anti-EMP Energy Defense Fields should be something available to the public.
But Gu Yu didn’t follow those rules.
With her connections, as long as she wasn’t too blatant about it, others would just turn a blind eye.
She just had a bit of a persecution complex; what was wrong with that?
On one hand, a massive number of lower-class humans flocked to the Virtual Universe, creating a deceptive sensory Utopia of equality where they lived and died in a daze.
On the other hand, the real-world gap between rich and poor and the concentration of power had become even more extreme, though the Virtual Universe had numbed people’s senses.
Others lived in this area because it was the highest level they could afford.
Gu Yu lived here simply because she was too lazy to live in a manor.
Under Jing Jing’s coordination, those eight terminators hid in the corners of the yard, waiting for a “destined person.”
Their Plasma Cannons were also waiting for the moment to grant their enemies destruction with perfect equality.
Clang.
The gold-rimmed glasses man was the first to poke his head out of the sewer to scan the area.
After confirming there was no danger, he pushed the manhole cover aside and climbed out.
“We have all excised our Blue Rings. In the darkness, the security guards won’t recognize us, so there’s no need to hide. Doing so would only make people suspicious.”
He then glanced at Du She, who was dressed in a black robe.
Du She frowned.
“I cannot remove my gas mask and protective suit, so I am using the black robe to cover them.”
The gold-rimmed glasses man shrugged and said indifferently, “It makes no difference. The black robe is more suspicious anyway.”
“Then I…”
“It’s fine. I still have access rights for Jewel Street, so fooling those Androids won’t be a problem. As for the human guards…”
The gold-rimmed glasses man used his clothes to wipe his broken glasses, which were wet with water.
Actually, he didn’t need glasses, but it was part of his factory settings.
He put them on and said, “No human is willing to work in such harsh conditions.”
Humans couldn’t live without Androids because only Androids could shoulder the heavy burdens for them.
Including Du She, Sang Biao, and the gold-rimmed glasses man, there were eight of them in total.
“Hi.”
Suddenly, a hand lightly patted Du She’s shoulder.
Du She froze for a second before reacting quickly.
“Xia Wa, don’t appear so abruptly next time, or I can’t guarantee your life.”
“Oh, but Lady Du She recognizes me every time.”
Xia Wa held a pink flowered umbrella, her body leaning forward slightly.
She was the only one there who wasn’t wet.
“How did you get in?”
the gold-rimmed glasses man asked in surprise.
He remembered that security on Jewel Street was extremely strict; although it was called a street, it was essentially no different from a closed residential community.
“Hmm.”
Xia Wa rested her chin on one hand, blinked, and pointed at the curtain of rain in the distance.
“I just followed someone else and walked straight in.”
