Long nights are always hard to endure.
That night, she didn’t sleep at all, thinking about many things.
When she recalled her past and present life, she couldn’t help but feel sorrow.
After finally being reborn once, why were others either Heaven-Defying Dragons or had a Beef Taboo?
When it came to her, why was there only frustration left?
Her past life had already been frustrating enough—why did she have to continue this kind of life after transmigrating?
She couldn’t figure it out.
Her heart grew more and more painful, more and more angry, until the pent-up anger reached its peak.
She angrily punched the bed board—
But her hand hit the bedpost.
The sharp pain instantly made her blissfully fall asleep.
The room fell completely silent.
The next day, early morning.
Su Yu was startled awake by a deafening crash.
She leaped straight out of bed.
“What? Is it an earthquake?”
At this moment, her brain was not fully awake.
She had no idea what just happened, her eyes full of dazed confusion.
Just then, a cold mechanical synthesized voice sounded from behind the door.
“I remember I reminded you yesterday not to wake up too late… Honestly, I admire your quality of sleep.”
At that moment, Su Yu’s brain fully woke up.
When she realized what had happened, she was shocked to find a large bulge in her door that hadn’t been there before.
“The door… my door!”
“What happened to the human rights we agreed on? This is outright malicious destruction!”
However, Lin Mo completely ignored the girl’s outburst and issued a final ultimatum.
“Since you’re up, hurry up and get yourself ready. My time is valuable. I’ll wait at most seven minutes.”
“Oh, and let me remind you: the bracelet I gave you yesterday has an electroshock function. If you’re late… heh heh heh…”
The devilish whisper reached Su Yu’s ears, striking her like lightning.
She collapsed onto the bed.
“A demon… This person must be a demon…”
What kind of pervert had she fallen into the hands of?
He was already this excessive now; she dared not think about what would happen later.
Thus, amid grief and indignation, the depression and anger that had brewed for most of the night surged into her heart, transforming into boundless courage.
“No! I can’t let this continue!”
A real man born between heaven and earth—how could he live cowering under others!
I have to go demand an explanation! Yes, an explanation!
…
The girl pushed the door open and walked out furiously.
She stood in front of the robot controlled by Lin Mo, putting on what she thought was a threatening expression.
Just as she was about to speak, she realized that her current height didn’t even reach the robot’s chest.
Half of her newly built courage instantly crumbled.
Only then did she remember the gap in combat strength between them.
She shivered involuntarily, swallowed the words that had reached her lips, and immediately had second thoughts.
But at the same time, the various humiliations of the past few days surfaced in her mind, giving her a bit of courage again.
She silently slapped herself a few times in her heart.
‘Su Yu, Su Yu, what are you doing? What happened to the heroic resistance you promised? What happened to demanding an explanation? You need to get your act together!’
So she mustered her courage, took a deep breath, and bravely stared into his eyes.
…
“Do you have something to say?”
“If not, then hurry up and go wash up. I don’t have much time.”
The cold, merciless mechanical voice broke the eerie silence.
In those originally colorless mechanical pupils, for some reason, a strange red light flickered.
The words Su Yu had just prepared on her lips were forced back down.
She stood at attention.
“N-no… nothing…”
“I’ll go right away…”
After saying that, Su Yu, like an injured kitten, fled into the bathroom and slammed the door shut with a bang.
Looking at her own non-threatening reflection in the mirror, she let out a sob of grief and indignation.
“Wuwuwu… Thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west—don’t bully a youth for being poor!”
…
In the end, Su Yu was still taken away by it.
Like a prisoner awaiting execution, she had already accepted her fate, silently following it without saying a word.
Finally, after half an hour of trekking, the two stopped at the entrance of an abandoned air raid shelter.
Su Yu looked around, pointed at the entrance doubtfully, and asked,
“Your secret base isn’t really inside here, is it?”
It didn’t look like there were any signs of life here…
“This is just one of my backup bases. It’s more than enough for daily experiments.”
“Now, remember to stay close to me. It’s easy to get lost inside. I won’t teach you the route a second time.”
“Mm-hmm…”
Su Yu responded perfunctorily, completely disregarding the warning.
She simply followed the robot’s footsteps, winding through the place for a long time, until they finally stopped in a small room filled with discarded household items.
The robot controlled by Lin Mo pressed a switch on the wall.
A mechanical whirring sound was heard, and a small square hole opened in the wall, revealing an electronic code lock.
“Your identity hasn’t been registered yet. Once we’re inside, I’ll give you an electronic key. I assume you know how to use it.”
The robot reached out and entered the password.
The wall behind it slid open instantly, revealing an elevator inside.
Seeing this, Su Yu had to admire his creativity.
She silently complained in her heart, ‘Is this something a human could come up with?’
Then she followed him into the elevator.
…
She didn’t know how long they descended, but the elevator finally stopped steadily at the bottom.
As the elevator doors slowly opened, a high-tech metal corridor appeared before her eyes.
It didn’t look dangerous at all.
“It looks a bit like the laser corridor from Resident Evil…”
She looked left and right as she walked, muttering to herself.
Unexpectedly, the robot walking in front suddenly stopped and turned its head to look at her.
Su Yu’s heart tightened.
She asked nervously, “Wh-what’s wrong?”
“…”
“Nothing.”
The robot was silent for a moment, then explained somewhat helplessly,
“I didn’t expect even someone like you could see through the purpose of this corridor at a glance… It seems my security measures are not covert enough…”
Su Yu: …
“Heh heh…”
Su Yu let out a cold laugh, her face expressionless, appearing completely indifferent.
But inside, she was cursing his ancestors for eighteen generations again.
‘If I could, I would tear this tin-plated turtle into pieces.’
She silently vowed in her heart.
Following the robot through the laser corridor, they arrived at the laboratory door.
It deftly disarmed the access control.
Then a mechanical prompt sounded:
[Manual mode offline. Auto mode has taken over.]
The robot seemed to change instantly, ignoring the girl beside it and walking straight inside, leaving her alone, dumbfounded.
“What, now that you’re here, do I need to carry you in on an eight-person palanquin, Miss Su Yu?”
Su Yu turned her head toward the direction of the voice and saw a young man in a white lab coat walking slowly toward her…
