Li Luo was stunned for a while before saying, "Really?"

He reached out and patted Xia Linyin's head, sighing, "My little sister has grown up."

Xia Linyin looked at him without saying a word, observing the expression on Li Luo's face, not missing the slightest change.

Li Luo withdrew her large hand from Xia Linyin's head. "Xiao Ba is very good, he treats you very well, he—"

After a pause, Li Luo said, "He listens to you a lot. I can tell that Xiao Ba cares about you a lot, and he likes you too, right?"

"Yes, my sister is so wonderful, who wouldn't like her?"

Li Luo nodded. "You have excellent judgment. He is a trustworthy person."

Xia Linyin smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Brother thinks so too..."

Seemingly finding Xia Linyin's smile somewhat strange, as if she were wearing a human skin mask, Li Luo couldn't help but frown.

"Brother, I'm going to check on Xiao Ba." Xia Linyin gave Li Luo a meaningful look before turning and walking out of the passage.

Number 83 stood at the top of the steps, looking out through the gaps in the metal cover.

After watching for a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead and then scanned the outside situation.

After being inside this body for a few days, I almost forgot that I wasn't a person, but a system.

Xia Linyin looked up at number 83 on the steps. "Number 83, come down."

Upon hearing Xia Linyin's command, Number 83 descended the steps and walked up to her, saying, "Master."

After looking at him for a while, Xia Linyin suddenly reached out and pushed him against the wall, then leaned over him.

With her hands reaching over No. 83's ears and bracing against the wall behind her, Xia Linyin tilted her head slightly, her lips stopping a few centimeters away from No. 83's lips.

"Has my brother come over yet?" Xia Linyin asked. Her ambiguous look just now should have made Li Luo suspicious, so he came over to check.

“We’re heading this way,” Number 83 replied.

Upon hearing Li Luo's footsteps, Xia Linyin moved a little closer to No. 83. She believed that from Li Luo's perspective, he would definitely think that she and No. 83 were kissing.

The footsteps paused for a moment before becoming hurried and flustered, no longer approaching but leaving. When the footsteps faded away, Xia Linyin withdrew her arms and took a step back, only to see that Number 83 was closing his eyes.

Why are you closing your eyes?

Number 83 was startled. He opened his eyes and looked at Xia Linyin seriously, saying, "Don't humans say that you should close your eyes when you kiss?"

Instead of continuing the discussion with Number 83, Xia Linyin asked, "Have Li Luo shown any hostility towards you these past few days? I mean, when I'm around, he acts normally, but when I'm not there and it's just the two of you, has he ever glared at you, warned you to leave me, or even said he wanted to kill you?"

Number 83 shook his head, "No, Master, none of these things you mentioned are true."

Xia Linyin frowned. "Not even a little bit? Think about it carefully. In private, has he ever glared at you or looked at you with that fierce gaze?"

Number 83 answered without hesitation: "No."

Xia Linyin rubbed her forehead and then let out a heavy sigh.

"What's wrong, Master?" Number 83 asked.

"It's nothing." Xia Linyin waved her hand, turned around, her face cold and solemn.

“Master,” 83 called out to Xia Linyin, who was about to leave, “We are about to enter the central base. There will be a scanner at the base entrance, and only robots and human pets can enter the base.”

“We have two ways to get into the base. First, you and Li Luo can pretend to be human pets and I will take you in. Second, I will go back into your brain and you can pretend to be a robot and take Li Luo in.”

“Master, I suggest that it is best to leave Li Luo outside. There is no need for him to come into the base with us, and it is not safe for him.”

"I understand. You can go back into my brain now," Xia Linyin said. The first method was definitely out of the question, as the human-pet identity would have many limitations and inconveniences, which would not be conducive to completing the mission.

If she impersonates a robot to infiltrate the base, it will definitely be much easier for her to move around, and we have already reached the critical moment to complete the mission. Just like No. 83 said, the information it scans in her brain can be fed back to her immediately.

After No. 83 returned to Xia Linyin's brain, Xia Linyin found a place to hide the robot body on the ground.

As for the suggestion after No. 83, Xia Linyin thought about it and decided to enter the base alone. However, it was not because of the reasons No. 83 mentioned, but because she was unwilling to leave Luo pretending to be a human pet.

"Brother, you're here." Xia Linyin walked towards Li Luo, who was sitting against the wall with one long leg bent.

Lost in her own thoughts, Li Luo snapped out of it and looked at Xia Linyin, "Little sister."

Seeing that Xia Linyin was alone and No. 83 was not by her side, Li Luo asked, "Is Xiao Ba still there observing the robots' activity patterns?"

"Oh, he was captured by the robot." Xia Linyin's tone was light and casual, as if she were discussing the weather.

"What? Xiao Ba was captured by the robot?" Li Luo stood up in shock.

"Mm." Xia Linyin nodded.

Li Luo thought Xia Linyin was putting on a brave face, so she went up and hugged her. "Sister, don't worry, we will definitely be able to rescue Xiao Ba and his brother."

Li Luo comforted her, "If you feel sad, cry it out. It's okay, your brother won't laugh at you. It's just that you're making me worry."

"Brother, don't worry, I'm destined to save the world. Romantic feelings won't affect me." Xia Linyin lied with a straight face.

Li Luo: "..."

His sister definitely didn't love Hachi as much as he thought.

"By the way, brother, I plan to enter the robot base alone." Xia Linyin gently placed her finger on Li Luo's lips, who was about to speak. "Listen to me, brother, the entrances and exits of the base will be scanned. Only robots and human pets can enter. I can disguise myself as a robot with the help of the system, but you can only enter as a human pet. I don't want you to be a human pet."

Li Luo grabbed Xia Linyin's hand that was on his lips, let it go, and said firmly, "I will absolutely not let you go in alone. I can be your pet."

The man before her possessed eyes as bright as stars and as black as the night sky, so deep they seemed capable of devouring one's soul. At this moment, he was looking intently into those eyes and said, "I can be your personal pet."

Xia Linyin was helpless, knowing that there was no room for negotiation on this matter. Li Luo would not allow her to enter the robot base alone, even if it meant he had to be her pet.

She nodded and said, "Okay, brother, you will be my pet and come into the base with me."
