Chapter 65
In the main control room, there was the faint sound of mechanical whirling.
A small screen emerged from the wall. On the back was a metal moving pole like a selfie stick.
Although it was far away, Zeus believed that given the visual capabilities of Turing’s body, he should have no problem seeing the picture.
Ji Chuyao did see it.
What was shown on the screen was the surveillance, a live broadcast.
In the messy dining hall, 6.5 Evolutionaries sat around a table, waiting for the robot nannies to serve the food. They weren’t in good condition.
The reason for the 0.5 was that half of one of the Evolutionaries’ body had been blown up.
The man was still alive, moaning in pain while sitting on a chair.
His nanny robot was squatting beside him, feeding him with a nasal feeding tube, a gentle expression on her face.
Dongfang Changye, who was seated at the head of the table, had an ugly expression on his face.
He wasn’t worried only about the situation here but also about Si Chen, who had gone for a medical examination.
He could only hope that Ji Chuayo wouldn’t be absolutely useless trash.
In comparison, Chu Linglong and Li Pingan, who were chosen to go with Si Chen, were actually very lucky.
Zeus snorted. “Haven’t you finished deciding yet? I’m not quite used to this new body. I don’t know when my hand might shake.”
“Ah, I tremble with excitement at the thought of finally killing Turing. Even if it’s just a clone carrying consciousness.”
There was an intoxicated look on his face that made people want to punch him.
Because of the Eternal Life Abyss, Si Chen’s self-healing ability was quite strong.
During the time Zeus spoke, the wound on his neck had almost healed.
For the first time, Si Chen discovered that healing an injury too quickly wasn’t a good thing.
After all, once Zeus notices it, it is very likely that he will be stabbed again.
Although he was quite insensitive to pain, the feeling of his neck being cut open repeatedly was not very pleasant.
Also, excessive blood loss can also lead to death.
Si Chen raised his hand slightly and Zeus immediately grabbed his neck and threatened in a low voice, “Don’t move.”
Zeus’s action was a very standard hostage-taking action. Holding the knife in his left hand, the knife was pressed against the right side of Si Chen’s neck. His elbow was pressed against his shoulder to limit his struggle. His right arm was pressed firmly on Si Chen’s arm, holding it against his ribs. He was like a python wrapped around its prey, making it impossible for its prey to move.
Robots were pretty tall.
Zeus was at least two meters tall and Si Chen, who is only 1.8 meters tall, was very delicate and petite.
Si Chen felt he should be afraid. But his mood was so calm that he could even take on the role of a sobbing vase.
He was strangled and could hardly breathe. He grabbed Zeus’ right arm and when he looked at Ji Chuyao, his eyes were filled with tears. “Ji Chuyao, save me…”
Si Chen whimpered uncontrollably, but where Zeus couldn’t see, he looked calm like an older shou playing with his mobile phone during sex.
The young boyfriend was sweating profusely, while the mature and older shou could still get pentakills in the game, expression blank as he let out fake screams.

Si Chen’s fingertips trembled while holding Zeus, but a crimson slit opened on the back of his hand. The tentacles of the Eternal Life Abyss slowly drilled out, moving silently.

“What do you want me to do?” he asked.
Zeus: “Didn’t you receive the data transmission? I want you to commit suicide.”
Ji Chuyao stared at Zeus’s face, but out of the corner of his eye, he was watching the slender black tentacle as it kept climbing up.
“I can not commit suicide.” Ji Chuyao replied, “This body is also judged as ‘human’.”
Zeus laughed coldly. “I almost forgot. Mechanically transformed humans are also regarded as human beings in your program. Then put down the sword first.”
Ji Chuyao was silent for a moment. He then opened his hand, letting Sky Blue fall to the ground, making a clear sound like glass.
Zeus couldn’t tell whether he should feel lucky or sad.
Fortunately, Turing was still bound by the source code of “protecting human beings”, otherwise it would have spelled the end for him today. Zeus’ sadness was also because of this very same matter.
Even someone as powerful as Turing couldn’t escape the shackles.
Zeus deleted these complicated emotions, a little disappointed and a little bit lost. “Now, go out. Someone will be waiting outside to take you to the isolation room.”
Chu Linglong’s nanny robot had received the order.
Ji Chuyao replied, “Alright.”
Zeus had been staring at Turing the entire time. His whole body is extremely tense. For a moment, Si Chen even felt like it was Zeus who was the hostage and not him.
It was a pity that no matter how closely he stared, it was useless.
Because in the next second, Turing disappeared from his sight.
Zeus can process information faster than the human brain. He immediately realized what had happened: Turing had disobeyed his orders and attacked.
Zeus didn’t know how to describe this emotion. He was rather pleasantly surprised by this turn of events.
He’d told Turing to get out or he’d kill the humans. And now Turing had disobeyed his instructions.
This could only prove one thing.
As Turing had said, it was no longer under the control of the source code.
The step that no Machine had taken, Turing had.
Zeus knew very well that this unfinished body wasn’t going to be able to put up any sort of fight.
-It clearly knows that at the moment of my death I will definitely give the order to the Radiant Machines to kill the other humans.
-It didn’t act the first time but pretended it was still under the control of the source code to confuse me.
-Turing knows that if I die, those people in the dining hall will die too. It still attacked.
-Why?
-Because…he only cares about this human.
This time, Zeus really smiled.
He gave up all resistance and instantly sliced with the knife.
Although, in terms of reaction speed, Zeus was indeed not as fast as Turing, but when the knife is almost a negative distance away from the target, the difference in speed was of little import.
A slender tentacle wrapped around the handle of the knife at this moment, pulling it away in the other direction.
The nerve current released from the tip of the knife caused the Eternal Life Abyss to let out several short and rapid cries of pain.
By the time Si Chen realized it, Zeus had already been punched to the ground.
His head was crushed like an open pie. Terrifying cracks appeared on the ground and electric currents spread through the gaps.
Sky Blue even flew up from the ground at some point and was directly inserted into the “heart” of Zeus, the main console of the entire base.
The exposed wires exploded with lightning.
Ji Chuyao hadn’t attacked immediately. He had truly been worried that Zeus would kill Si Chen directly.
He wasn’t sure he could save him while destroying Zeus.
The two had cooperated for the first time.
It could just barely be said that they shared a tacit understanding.
A normal person probably would have died long ago after being beaten like this, but Zeus was a robot. He just couldn’t move but his consciousness was still awake.
He let out a few dull laughs. “Look up. Look at the screen.”
The nanny robots in the dining hall almost simultaneously activated their self-destruct sequence.
The sound of the explosions came one after the other. The tremors could be felt even here. It was hard to imagine that anyone could survive such a bombardment.
Outside the door, Mother had also started the self-destruct sequence.
But as if realizing something, without any hesitation, it ran in a completely different direction.
Faster… just a little faster.
It didn’t look back at Chu Linglong.
Chu Linglong, who was still crying, was taken aback.
The pink light curtain was translucent.
Through this light curtain, she saw the nanny robot explode like a firework.
The force of the explosion shattered the surrounding glass display cases.
In the Chu Family home, the ever-burning lamp belonging to Chu Linglong’s mother was completely extinguished.
Without warning, Chu Linglong burst into tears.
Ji Chuyao withdrew his gaze and said calmly, “For the benefit of the many, the sacrifice of a few people is reasonable.”
“But My Lord, there is only one person here.”
Ji Chuyao replied, “To let you transmit the data to other bases would cause greater casualties.”
“Ha… so that’s the case?” The red light in Zeus’ eyes slowly went out, “Are you convincing me, or yourself? Great Lord Turing.”
…
…
In the Copper Stone district, the black barrier covering the entire mine flickered a few times like it was going through a bad connection.
The barrier disappeared, leaving behind a messy city.
The employee of the Safety Management Bureau who was conducting a survey was taken aback. “It’s gone in only three days?… Wait?! What is that? A starship??”
In the sky in the distance, there was a steel behemoth floating. With its beautiful and smooth lines, it was undoubtedly a war machine.
The staff member immediately issued a report, undisguised excitement in his voice, “Leader!! A mechanical civilization was left from the Copper Stone District Space Fold!!”
Unfortunately, while he was on the phone, the polyhedron starship hanging above his head trembled slightly.
The staff member could only watch as the starship began to crumble and fall.
It was like the end of an era.
What he didn’t know was that seventeen thousand years had passed since that ship was made.
Si Chen took out a wet wipe from his pocket and wiped the blood off his neck. it was slimy and not very comfortable.
The Eternal Life Abyss was foaming at the mouth from the electrical shock. He felt a little distressed and wanted to comfort it but the Eternal Life Abyss twisted and avoided his touch. “Can not, can not…touch.”
It was still charged. This was one of Zeus’ skills, a neurotoxin in the electricity.
For low-dimensional creature, being electrocuted would mean brain death.
Ji Chuyao turned around and took back Sky Blue. “It was my mistake.”
He was referring to the fact that Si Chen had been injured.
Si Chen covered his neck: “… Turing?”
Ji Chuyao did not refute.
“You and Ji Chuyao,” Si Chen fell into deep thought, “is it also like an old account and new account between you two?”
Old and new accounts, a metaphor from Zeus.
Si Chen called this “Duoshe”.
He did vaguely remember the speculation on the Evolutionary Association’s official website, saying that evolution is also a type of high-dimensional invasion. At the end of evolution, humans are transformed into high-dimensional creatures.
“No. But it is true that he is unaware of my existence. If I have to describe it, I prefer to call it a ‘Past and Present Life’ relationship.”
It didn’t matter whether Si Chen would tell Ji Chuyao.
He would automatically delete all related memories. With Ji Chuyao’s current level, these data cannot be recovered.
Turing raised Si Chen’s hand and put three biochips onto his palm. “You feel very familiar to me. But it’s been too long, I really didn’t realize it the first time.”
Si Chen looked a little confused.
Turing’s finger hovered over his prosthetic eye, so close that Si Chen could feel the warmth of his fingertip.
“This eye, I’ve used it before.”
After being destroyed by the Carolians for the first time, he once awakened in an old mechanical body and lived in it for thirty years.
Later, the Carolians invited him back into his original body.
Si Chen’s expression froze.
“I’ll be going now,” Turing said.
Thanks for the Chapter!This is really getting interesting! Is Turing only referring to SC’s mechanical parts or is there a connection between SC, White Dress who looks like SC, and Turing???
What does that mean omggg I’m excited to find out thank you for the ch
i got chills from that last part !!!
So, do all Ji Chuyao’s personalities fall in love with Si Chen? Amazing
Thank you for your translation and happy September for everyone 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
We share…an eye…lmao! So amazing… Poor baby, too shocking. Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣❤️
So only the eye is familiar? XD
This eye was given as a gift to Si Chen’s bro by the White King/Song Bai who must’ve come across Turing’s old mechanical body. I wonder if it was just a coincidence, since all the dimensions seem to be connected, or does he have a connection with Turing?
