Chapter 58
There was no rule in the base that two people are not allowed to sleep in the same room. So Dongfang Changye went back to the room with Si Chen without any hindrance.
As soon as Si Chen closed the door, he felt a force coming from behind.
He was far from defenseless but when the power gap is too large, fights quickly become one-sided.
Si Chen felt his shoulder blade hit the door panel, causing a slight pain.
Dongfang Changye grasped his wrist with one hand, forcefully separated his fingers and intertwined them with his. His other hand grabbed Si Chen’s waist.
Dongfang Changye buried his head in the crook of Si Chen’s neck and sniffed deeply. “Baby, I’ve missed you so much. I rejected every match the organization tried to arrange for me. I always planned to marry you after I go back…”
Si Chen raised his hand and pinched Dongfang Changye’s carotid artery. “Let go.”
The attitudes of the two were completely different.
Dongfang Changye let go of his hand, his actions stiff. The smile on his face slowly disappeared. “Didn’t you say you wanted to sleep with me?!”
Si Chen stared into his eyes: “That was just an excuse. I…”
Before Si Chen finished speaking, Dongfang Changye had already turned around and kicked the coffee table over.
The glass on the coffee table shattered, making a harsh sound.
“Then what’d you trick me in here for!”
Dongfang Changye was like a violent beast, spinning around in place, a hoarse growl in his mouth.
His movements disturbed his wounds and mottled red blood seeped from the freshly wrapped bandage.
Fortunately, sound insulation of the room was very good and everyone’s bedrooms were located far apart.
Si Chen frowned slightly and explained, “Dongfang Changye, I lied to you because it would be impossible to speak freely in front of so many Machines.”
Dongfang Changye kicked the coffee table off the floor. He turned his head, the white of his eyes were ashen gray, riddled with blood-red veins. His pupils could hardly be seen. “I felt it when I came in. There’s still someone else in this room.”
Dongfang Changye pointed to the wardrobe and barked out an angry laugh. “If you’re going to trick me, the least you could do is hold your breath.”
“Who’s inside? Killing someone to rob them is cliché and unoriginal. I didn’t give you what you wanted, so you need to resort to this method? Or is my presence hindering you from marrying into a wealthy family?!”
Dongfang Changye’s heart twitched irrationally, aching.
He covered his face with one hand and stared at Si Chen’s face through his fingers, trying to control his anger and impulse. “Explain, Si Chen.”
The excessive anger was clouding his thinking and Dongfang Changye’s head ached. He could almost feel the blood rushing to his face.
Si Chen took a deep breath, pinched his eyebrows and said, “Then why don’t you open the wardrobe?”
Dongfang Changye smashed the door panel of the wardrobe with a punch.
Ji Yuanji, who had been dismantled into human swine was hanging on the wall of the closet, two wires connected to his chest.
Ji Chuyao had also used a dismantled wire to make a nasal feeding tube to feed Ji Yuanji a nutrient solution so that he wouldn’t starve to death.
But the main thing was that even after being rendered into this condition, the cyborg was still in the “on” state.
At first, Si Chen had worried that this might create trauma for Ji Yuanji.

He asked, “Can we sit down and have a good talk now?”
Dongfang Changye was silent for a moment. He then bent down to pick up the cup of water and sat on the sofa beside him.
Dongfang Changye drank the water, feeling much more clear-headed. “I understand.”
Si Chen who hadn’t had time to speak: “…?”
“That’s the corpse you’re asking me to dismember?” Dongfang Changye had worked it out on his own, “After all, he is a direct descendant of the Ji Family. I heard that their family has some technological technique that allows them to directly send picture before their death back to the main system. It’s okay. You give this person to me and I’ll take him back, chop him up and throw him away. Just leave everything to your husband. I’m very familiar with killing people to rob them.”
Si Chen replied blankly. “No.”
“Then what is that?”
Si Chen said: “I have a way to take out the chip in your brain.”
“Huh?”
Dongfang Changye appeared somewhat startled.
He sat on the sofa and looked at Si Chen as if he was meeting Si Chen for the first time.
Although he’d just been going along with it, Dongfang Changye had indeed once been his boyfriend.
To the point that because the other party had been keeping such a tight watch over him, Si Chen had lost any chance of riding a donkey while looking for a horse during his military training.
Regardless, he couldn’t deny that Dongfang Changye had helped him a lot during those days.
Si Chen didn’t believe in repaying a drop of water with a spring but Dongfang Changye seemed so pitiful that he decided to help since he could.
But the most important thing was that the Eternal Life Abyss was really hungry. Although the food provided by Radiant Machines were made from High-dimensional organisms, the meager amount was barely enough to meet the physiological needs of the Eternal Life Abyss.
In its weakened state, the Eternal Life Abyss’ hunger was starting to bleed into Si Chen.
Si Chen could tell that a few more days of hunger and he’d be driven so ravenous that he’d simply grab someone and eat them. That little girl Chu Linglong smelled quite delicious.
“It’s a skill that’s related to my biological transformation.” Si Chen took off his glove and let the Eternal Life Abyss protrude from the gap on the back of his hand. Two small and slender pitch-black tentacles made their way out, like the translucent tentacles of a jellyfish spreading on the seabed. “I can sense ‘food’ nearby. One of them is in your head. If my guess is correct, it’s not a chip that’s controlling you but a high-dimensional creature similar to number 314.”
High-dimensional creature 314, Mother and Child Silkworm, comes from the Miaojiang civilization and is a kind of Gu insect.
Dongfang Changye instinctively reached for his sword, no doubt a sign of vigilance.
Several years of undercover work has indeed changed him a lot.
In the beginning, the crazy persona was just a mask to distinguish him from his past self.
But now, this mask could no longer be taken off.
No matter how much he pretended, he would never be able to return to the past. He had killed too many people, his hands were unclean and every night he could hear the mournful cries of the innocent in his ears.
Si Chen was the same.
He would never tell Dongfang Changye that when he was 18 years old, he had seriously considered whether to marry him.
Thankfully, marriage to Dongfang Changye was ultimately a dead end as he disappeared halfway.
Being the son-in-law of a wealthy family was not as interesting as being an Evolutionary like he was now.
Si Chen still preferred feeling in control of his own destiny.
Dongfang Changye let out a muffled laugh. “Really, what should I do then?”
Si Chen: “I will make a hole in the back of your head and let Little Abyss go in. Little Abyss will eat the Gu insects in your brain.”
Dongfang Changye narrowed his eyes. “You’re so weird. You even named your tentacles.”
The Eternal Life Abyss gave a couple of unhappy squeaks and it dropped Dongfang Changye’s ranking on its list of potential stepfathers by one.
Dongfang Changye: “It’s a bit scary having a hole carved into your head. Have you had any experience doing something like this before?”
Si Chen didn’t want to lie to him: “No.”
“However, I got good grades in college biology. And later on, I performed some remodeling operations.”
“Was it successful?”
Si Chen: “I didn’t get to check and see.”
“Why?”
“A High-dimensional Invasion occurred and both subjects died.”
The corners of Dongfang Changye’s mouth rose slightly. “Give your husband some time to think about it. I’m gonna go have a smoke.”
He got up and took out a long and thin cigarette from the pocket of his jacket.
Si Chen didn’t like the smell of cigarettes and he always refused to kiss because he stank of cigarette smoke. Later, Dongfang Changye changed to more elegant herbal cigarettes. Pity that he’d gone to the wilderness before his body had time to change scents.
Dongfang Changye went to the toilet, closed the door and smoked alone.
Si Chen didn’t rush either. He turned on the TV and clicked on one of the three movies at random.
Si Chen had already watched more than half of it before and this time he played it directly from the middle to the end.
The film told the story of the interstellar travel of a human and a Machine who had lost their home on earth. In the end, the human was about to die and the Machine took the human back to their former home. The end of the film was very interesting. Just after the Machine buried the human in the ground, a brand new human came out of the room behind them.
The human uttered the same lines as the one in the opening sequence, “Carol, we have no home anymore.”
It turned out that this human being had long been transformed into a robot. Only the brain was kept. The body was made of degradable metal. He would die once every 100 years and then the Machine would take him back to his home to change his body.
But human remembered none of this. Because there has long been no history here, only the fiction constructed for him by the Machine.
Si Chen was made rather speechless by this film. He felt that most of these Machines must have a hard life, not knowing how to live without humans.
Si Chen looked at it and looked at it and suddenly had a doubt.
Did he really not finish watching this last time?
Si Chen wanted to fast forward to the cast list but this time, this part of the film had been edited out.
The name of the film was “Happy Eden”.
Si Chen felt that someone was using this means to tell him something.
“Happy Eden. The base is the Garden of Eden constructed by Radiant Legion Machines.”
Si Chen fell into deep thought: “In the movie, human beings have been transformed. They don’t even know that they are robots. If the Garden of Eden in the movie corresponds to the base and the Machines correspond to Radiant Legion then do the humans correspond to ‘us’?”
There now seemed to be an answer as to what happened to the three humans who were sent to have the blood test today.
“Twice. The protagonist Machine was called Carol?”
Si Chen subconsciously raised his hand and touched the back of his head but there was no trace of a stitching.
He bent down and lifted the sheet. The floating cannon hidden under the bed brought a sense of security.
“Little Abyss…” Si Chen knelt on the carpet and said in a low voice.
Eternal Life Abyss: “Squeak?”
“Mom is scared.”
Although the Eternal Life Abyss didn’t understand, it still wrapped around Si Chen’s arm comfortingly and rubbed lightly.
The tentacles were covered with slime with paralyzing and corrosive effects.
Si Chen’s body has been transformed by the Eternal Life Abyss but when all was said and done, he wasn’t the actual Eternal Life Abyss, after all. His arm grew hot and some of the more delicate parts of his skin became red and swollen, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous mosquito.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Si Chen raised his head, on guard.
Before, he had specifically asked Al not to disturb them.
Si Chen walked to the door. The door here had no peephole. He asked, “Who is it?”
Ji Chuyao’s clear voice came from behind the door. “It’s me.”
Ji Chuyao has the authority to enter; he could have come in without knocking. But he had chosen to do so mainly because it was getting late and he was worried that Si Chen would be keyed-up again like last time.
Si Chen was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Ji Chuyao to come back so soon.
He opened the door.
On his other side, the bathroom door opened at almost the same time, the strong smell of cigarettes smoke wafting out. Dongfang Changye must have smoked more than just one cigarette.
Dongfang Changye, said hand on the doorknob, “Do it, your husband will entrust his life to you.”
His voice had been neither loud nor quiet.
Ji Chuyao, who was about to come in, paused.
“What are you doing?” He couldn’t help his voice from rising, “…Husband?”
His eyes glowed green.
Si Chen: “…”
Hahahaha! Perfect timing!
