translator: loop
As the unlucky 50001 himself, Chu Si naturally could not miss the whole process of Sa’e Yang’s capture of the “impostor”.
As half of the brain of the Central Fort, the information and data stored in the second level of the east basement were unimaginably huge. Even though the last time it was officially used was over forty years ago, as the largest superbase station on the planet, the data management system was very well thought out, and it was a time-consuming and laborious task to hack into it.
Sa’e Yang had pulled a damaging trick, using SkyEye, an external intelligent system, as a source of interference, so that the eastern Fort Barney brain subconsciously produced a rejection reaction.
Once active, more loopholes would appear. At this time, if an interference was spread again, it would penetrate through quickly, and the whole eastern brain would be driven crazy in an instant.
“So it seems stupidity really can be contagious.” Sa’e Yang propped his hands on the side of the console and tapped a few random keys, calling on SkyEye while not forgetting to insult it.
Ding—
The voice of SkyEye came from the glass transporter and said, “Prisoner N57021225, Mr. Yang, you are really not a human.”
The stutterer, on the basis that he now had to rely on it, suddenly grew all gutsy.
Sa’e Yang readily accepted this comment and clicked the confirmation button, tilting his head to look at the screen while casually saying, “Thanks for the compliment.”
Chu Si walked to the console: “With all due respect, you are really shameless.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Sae Yang smiled: “The same to you.”

“After all, you have a previous record.” Chu Si said nonchalantly.
When he first entered the sanatorium, he and Sa’e Yang avoided each other to the extreme. At that time, Chu Si was gloomy and reticent. The aftereffects from the orphanage made him suffer from severe headaches all year round. He couldn’t sleep well and was covered in thorns. Whoever touched him he would pierce, he never spoke if he didn’t have to, and together with Sa’e Yang, a natural catalyst, together they could make a local earthquake.
Their teenage years were very deadly, the start of a rebellious stage where they loved to fight others. The only difference was that Chu Si wanted the whole world to leave him alone, while Sa’e Yang was looking for excitement every day and wanted to annoy the world.
Even the nurses in the sanatorium stared at them with concern all the time, and tried every means to divert them away from each other, but this trick could only stop Chu Si and not Sa’e Yang.
Because when Sa’e Yang wanted to get into trouble, he was very good at making use of every opportunity.
Anything that passed through his hands once you would never again get to use in peace, even if he had only held it for a dozen seconds.
Of course, the premise was that he had an interest.
Chu Si’s communicator, headset, physiological condition detector, etc had all gone through his hands.
The good thing was that Sa’e Yang’s state only lasted for a year. After one year, he seemed to have finally vented his energy, and gradually became lazy, even looking for excitement lazily.
Although that period of time was very short, Chu Si remembered one thing— when you and Sa’e Yang have different goals and different fronts, don’t let him touch anything easily.
Sa’e Yang seemed helpless against Chu Si’s vigilance, and he sighed, “My dear, you’re really overthinking this time. Do you think I would have the extra time and energy to do anything to your communicator in that situation with the liquid nitrogen and rocket launcher? Of course, I’m very honored to be overestimated by you, Executive.”
“Spoken as if it were true, but unfortunately, I don’t believe a word of it.” Chu Si’s mouth remained unrelenting.
As far as the facts were concerned, Sa’e Yang’s words were actually very reasonable. Under such circumstances, no normal person would be distracted to do other tricks, that would simply be rushing to death to joke with life.
Chu Si lowered his eyes, his fingers still stubbornly tapping on the last unchecked program.
Just as he was about to put away the communicator with a cursory sweep, the screen suddenly exploded full of stars, and various garbled dots of light flashed from top to bottom, making Chu Si squint his eyes. Then they instantly turned into a vast and quiet sea of stars. The electronic voice of the communicator suddenly rang out and said in a funeral-like solemn tone:
“A surprise for Executive Chu who will definitely check his communicator.”
At the same time as the voice came out, Sa’e Yang lip-synched with it while tapping on buttons.
Chu Si: “…must you be so tireless to prove you’re so seriously deficient?”
Sa’e Yang, however, did not reply and did not even glance at Chu So. His extremely light-colored eyes still stared motionlessly at the screen, the rapidly scrolling characters imprinted on his eyes like thin, cold glass. The corners of his mouth, however, curled up slightly and quickly flattened out again.
When this person was neither smiling nor squinting, the profile of his face was hard and sharp, and his demeanor was neither frivolous nor arrogant, but a kind of inapproachable coldness.
The passive surprise in Chu Si’s communicator was really only a small trick, probably because time was tight when it was implanted, and even Chu Si, who didn’t specialize in this, could easily find it.
But this little trick didn’t even make Chu Si use his precious fingers. The vast and quiet starry sky only existed for five seconds before a notification popped up, indicating that the junk program had been automatically cleared.
It was evident that Sa’e Yang was really bored.
Tang and Le Pen looked at the two men in bewilderment from behind, and at the same time turned their heads and secretly asked the quiet Liu: “Hey, back then, there were only things you knew, and you mostly kept silent. Have you… heard about what happened between Executive and that guy?”
Liu: “I only know that only the two of them know. It was said that their relationship was particularly bad, and nothing else.”
Le Pen rolled her eyes: “Nonsense, everyone has heard of this. But… this doesn’t at all look like a you-die-and-I-live kind of poor relationship.”
Liu spread his hands: “Only ghosts would know.”
“Please don’t whisper your secrets out loud, especially in front of the person you’re talking about.” Chu Si said coldly.
There was an echo in this damned place, and every whisper only enhanced the echo, making Chu Si feel very complicated.
Sa’e gave a short laugh. “So curious to know what kind of entanglement I had with your executive?”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at them from the corner of his eyes, but lightly pressed the last key with his fingers. The screens all over the wall were instantly refreshed into the same interface.
“Executive Chu, I have good news. Your dear enemy, Sa’e Yang, has caught 50001 by the pigtails for you.”
I want to know what happened between them so bad!! 😫😫
He for sure left the easy-to-detect program as a decoy so that chu si would stop looking, right? I feel like this was foreshadowed with the whole “obvious vs hidden security camera” thing
Smart thinking
