******

Shen Yunan groggily woke up, his consciousness gradually returning.

He was conscious, but it felt like he was dreaming. Even though he was conscious, he couldn't move his entire body.

Even though he had just regained consciousness and was completely unable to move, Shen Yu Nan could clearly feel the pain in his lower abdomen.

'Didn't you say it wouldn't hurt?'

He clearly remembered the comforting words Pei Wu spoke to him before he fell into a deep sleep, her gentle... indulgent... stroking his hair and the promises she made to him.

The pain radiating from his abdomen made his temples throb, the pain almost reaching his mouth. Even the slightest loosening of his pursed lips caused him to cry out in pain. He could even clearly feel his body sweating profusely from the pain...

The dry skin gradually became moist.

He could even imagine his bangs sticking to his forehead, soaked with sweat... strand by strand.

'I wonder how the child is; I haven't heard the child cry at all...'

He frowned deeply, remembering how his sister always cried when she was born.

Why didn't he cry?

He felt a growing anxiety and an urgent desire to control his body.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but his hazy consciousness gradually cleared... As Shen Yu Nan moved his fingertips, he coughed twice.

"Cough cough."

The involuntary coughing aggravated the wound in his abdomen, making his face even paler.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he slowly opened his eyes. What he saw was a relatively unfamiliar ceiling, and the 'humming' of the machines running all around him echoed in his ears. Only then did he belatedly raise his hand to look at the silver bracelet on his wrist.

Shen Yu'nan used almost all his strength to lift his arm.

As the hatch slowly opened, Shen Yu Nan turned his head to look, but was so startled by the light outside that he had to close his eyes.

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, your mission is complete."

Cheng Tong slowly approached Shen Yu Nan's side and spoke to him.

Cheng Tong walked towards him with her back to the light, making it impossible for Shen Yunan to see her expression. However, he was stunned for a moment upon hearing what she was saying. The scene, the picture, and the words... all seemed like a distant memory to him now.

His mission is complete...

Shen Yu'nan was panting heavily; he used all his strength to prop himself up...

Shen Yu'nan's body ached from lying down for so long, and even his throat felt dry and sore as if he had swallowed sand. After swallowing several times to moisten his burning throat, he finally opened his mouth and asked Cheng Tong, "My... mission is complete?"

The abdominal pain almost made Shen Yu'nan faint again.

Her legs trembled uncontrollably.

These are all feelings that Shao Sang reflects onto Shen Yu Nan's physical body.

"..." Cheng Tong nodded. After he removed the silver bracelet from Shen Yu Nan's hand, the dull pain in Shen Yu Nan's abdomen disappeared instantly. "This bracelet is the last connection between you and the Shao Sang robot's body."

"After the mission is completed, Mr. Shen, your consciousness will not return to the Shao Sang robot's body. From now on, you will only be Shen Yu Nan. All system programs will automatically shut down after you complete the mission and return to your original body. The bracelet on your wrist is the last item related to the mission system. In other words, after the bracelet is removed, you, as Shen Yu Nan, will no longer have any connection with Shao Sang. And the fact that you once used your consciousness to control Shao Sang's body must also remain a secret. In any case, using human consciousness to control a robot is a fantasy for anyone."

"..." After the pain disappeared, Shen Yu Nan felt much more comfortable. "Cough cough."

He listened carefully to the meaning behind Cheng Tong's words, and when he heard this part, Shen Yu Nan couldn't help but frown.

“You need to know that the country has strict requirements for humanoid robot research. If the faces are highly similar, they must be distinguished by voice, fingerprints, and irises... If others find out that our institute is researching how to control robots with human consciousness, the consequences would be unimaginable.” Cheng Tong paused for a moment before continuing, “Therefore, before you permanently return to your original body after completing your mission, the system has forced you to sign a confidentiality agreement. At the same time, a chip has been implanted in your body. If this chip detects that you are about to violate the confidentiality agreement, it will attack your brain, resulting in amnesia at best and death at worst.”

Cheng Tong's tone was as gentle as ever, yet she made demanding requests.

Upon hearing the last few words from the other party, Shen Yu'nan finally punched Cheng Tong in the corner of the mouth in anger. "Do you think everyone else's life is as worthless as grass?"

Even though he had severed all ties with Shao Sang, Shen Yu Nan's body had been lying in the research institute for too long, and his weak body only caused Cheng Tong's lips to turn slightly red with a punch.

Cheng Tong casually wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth, still looking down as she continued talking to herself.

"As a reward for completing your mission, Mr. Shen, you will receive a property in a prime location, a car worth millions, and ten million RB. The ten million has already been deposited into your account..."

Having returned to his original form, Shen Yu'nan no longer needed to fear Dr. Sun Min and Cheng Tong, who had been controlling his original form. "What exactly do you want from me? Why did you choose me to do this?"

Only then did Cheng Tong raise her eyes to look at Shen Yu Nan, whose eyes were deep and dark.

"Perhaps it is you who are calling me, rather than me choosing you."

Do you want to break free from your family? Do you want a relatively fair life? Do you want to make a name for yourself through your own abilities, without being controlled by others?

Cheng Tong's words startled Shen Yunan.

These were the words spoken by the system that first entered Shao Sang's body.

"To make your enemy love you but not be able to have you, of course... the most satisfying thing is that you don't lose your own heart."

“You…” Shen Yu Nan couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

"If you complete the task, I will provide you with the promised reward. Or is it that you have also fallen in love with Miss Pei? If so, then Mr. Shen, you yourself have violated the rules of the game that were originally set."
