Troubleshooting

"...I have to say, although there is a gap between the standard values, Yan, your physical condition is much better than it was a few years ago..."

York sighed and gestured to Mu Qingyan who was lying in the monitoring cabin.

The button was pressed, and with a slight "click", the airlock in the sealed position slid, and the cabin, which was originally smooth, shining and flawless, slowly opened.

Mu Qingyan sat up from the examination table and removed the electrode patches on her heart and solar plexus. She took a deep breath and exhaled, then slowly straightened her open collar.

"...So, the result was not bad?" she asked jokingly.

York shrugged. "God bless..."

"What did you find?"

It has been half a month since I came to Australia. Because York mentioned before that when doing health checks on children in the rescue community, many abnormal fluctuations were found, Mu Qingyan rushed here as soon as he finished the work at hand.

After ruling out factors such as diet, climate, and trauma, and finding nothing, Mu Qingyan suggested that they should re-analyze the crisis based on their own physical condition.

After all, she was also someone who worked in the BI laboratory when she was a child.

But judging by York's expression, it seems the result is not very satisfactory.

"Yan, compared to your indicators, those children are much healthier..."

Mu Qingyan shook her head and seriously considered whether to accept the statement that "maybe they are really too suspicious."

I think everyone's physical constitution is different, and coupled with the emotional fluctuations after experiencing this series of events, it is not impossible that it will affect the physical condition.

But, like York and Dustin, she always felt like something was missing...

"Yan, watch your way..."

The result of being lost in thought was that she almost tripped when she stepped out of the monitoring room. Fortunately, someone was waiting there and supported her in time.

"It's Kins..."

Mu Qingyan calmed down and suddenly thought of something. He withdrew his hand calmly and spoke as usual.

"Didn't Dustin need your help with something? Have you solved it?"

It took a while before I heard the answer:

"It's just a robot repairing a misaligned positron path. Problems are inevitable when they're helping out in the community. My communication with them is more direct."

Some of the children who have experienced BI's brainwashing have grown up and are mature enough to listen to what they say. However, for those who are young or whose self-objectification ideas are deeply rooted in their minds, it is difficult to wake them up from the logic that "only children who provide organs are useful to their parents" and similarly, they do not believe that Infinity is helping them.

In this case, whether it is harming oneself or harming the robots sent to the rescue community to provide services, it is easy for the robots to suffer from different levels of mental disorders, logical disorders, control disorders, self-harm and other failures.

Given the quality of Infinity's products, even if there were some problems for a short period of time, it would not be enough to require daily recalls for repairs. However, Dustin seemed to be shrouded in an inexplicable uneasiness and did not want to make any mistakes. He specifically issued this mandatory order to rescue communities around the world in the name of the CEO.

Sometimes I even conduct the inspection myself.

But Dustin has enough people under his command, and he doesn't need Kins' help at all. Mu Qingyan understood that this was definitely because Dustin saw the strange atmosphere between her and Kins and wanted to help her reduce the time they spent together.

It was indeed what she had been longing for.

Although the argument that took place more than half a month ago has calmed down somewhat due to her PTSD attack and Kins's reluctant concession, their daily interactions are now normal.

But no matter what, once some problems are brought to light, it is impossible to pretend they never happened. No matter how good her acting is, she cannot deceive her friends who have known her for so many years about the tiny cracks between her and Kins.

After a minute of silence, York stood up from the console and calmly and smoothly stepped between the two of them, patting Kins's shoulder in a friendly manner.

"Thanks for your hard work, Dude! There's nothing wrong here, why don't you go back and rest for a while? Yan and I have some personal matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first!"

"Yan?"

Kins turned his gaze to Mu Qingyan, asking questions.

Mu Qingyan nodded:

"Yes, Chu Xian will be here soon, let's go pick her up. Kins, if you have time, you can go check out the community. York and Dustin haven't noticed anything unusual in such a long time, so maybe you can see something from your perspective."

"But now you should be good--"

Mu Qingyan walked out without looking back as he spoke:

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself."

…

The private plane landed safely. Shen Chuxuan's status is now more important than before, so the appearance is also different. A lot of bodyguards and assistants came with him.

But it was obvious that this also meant more responsibilities, and she seemed a little tired.

"Chu Xian, are things at the company difficult? If you need Infinity's help, don't hesitate to ask me!"

York hadn't seen Shen Chuxuan for a long time, and even though he had apologized sincerely for his slightly excessive behavior before, he still felt a little embarrassed.

"No..." Shen Chuxuan smiled at him, but it looked forced. "Didn't you and Qingyan ask me to come here for vacation? Why are you talking about work again? Could it be that Infinity's CTO finally doesn't want to go out anymore?"

During this period, he has been working overtime for community affairs. In addition to monitoring the physical condition, York occasionally takes the children there to play and tell stories. He even found a bunch of replaced robot parts from the warehouse and taught them to do simple mechanical experiments. Although Australia has many beautiful scenery, he really hasn't had the opportunity to see them properly.

However, although Shen Chuxuan's tone was somewhat teasing, his expression was completely different. It was not until he took the person to the hotel room and settled him down that Mu Qingyan, who had been silent all the way, finally asked the question in his heart:

"Chu Yan, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem so worried?"

"fine…"

"Don't try to evade me with polite words. You know I'm really worried about you!"

Because of this sentence, Shen Chuxuan's eyes suddenly turned red, but he just held her hand and remained silent.

The two of them were deadlocked for a long time. Just when Mu Qingyan had decided to catch Jack and beat him up, and ask his boss Shen what had happened recently, Shen Chuxuan said to her in a pleading tone:

"Qingyan, can you please discuss with York and Dustin and stop all rescue work in the community as soon as possible..."

"What?" Mu Qingyan thought she had misheard.

"This isn't their responsibility, right? No matter how powerful Infinity is, it's just a private company. This matter has become so serious that relevant departments in various countries must have stepped up to deal with it. Why don't they leave it to them? Why are you getting involved in this mess?"

"What do you mean by wading into muddy waters? Chu Xin, what's wrong with you?"

"I...I..." Shen Chuxuan hesitated to speak.

"First mist..."

Mu Qingyan held the girl's shoulders and tried to persuade her in a relatively relaxed tone, but because he was too anxious, his words were more or less coercive.

"If you hear or see anything, tell me and I'll take care of it. Or is someone threatening you? Chu Yan, you know, if I want to know the truth, there must be a way to get it, but I really just want to hear it from you in person, okay?"

"But…"

"No matter what happens, you can rest assured that I am here."

Although they had only known each other for half a year and had been together for even less time, they both felt that they had established a close enough connection with each other.

So when Shen Chuxuan saw the comfort and determination in Mu Qingyan's eyes, the uneasiness he had felt for days seemed to finally subside.

So, in the meeting room of Infinity's Australian branch, Shen Chuxuan told everything that happened when he met his adoptive father in the port area.

"...Anyway, he hopes I can persuade York to stop everything Infinity is doing now. Yan, according to my father, he had nothing to do with what happened to you and Dustin in Norway. Whether this is true or not, it shows that you and Infinity have made too many enemies now. Moreover, with his ability, I really... I can't help but worry about the consequences..."

York noticed her tired state, quickly stood up and helped her to a seat to rest, then winked at Dustin.

Dustin was silent for a moment, then looked at Mu Qingyan, who was wondering what he was thinking.

"Yan, any ideas? This whole thing started because I insisted on intervening in the affairs of those two siblings. Maybe it's not too late for you to back out now."

After hearing this, York held his forehead in silence: It has to be Dustin again, everything he says sounds sarcastic.

What was rare was that Yan didn't even react this time, he just stared at the holographic projection.

"What's the principle behind this? Even if it's homogeneous catalysis, these molecules are rapidly converting everything around them into substances with the same structure as themselves as they move, and they maintain their movement within a three-inch space. But this reaction can't be spontaneous, right?"

It turned out to be the strange object in Terrence Bedford's hand in the video. Although it was not very clear when watching it again due to the encryption technology used in the communication, not only Mu Qingyan, but also York and Dustin were very concerned about it.

Besides this, Mu Qingyan was also concerned about another thing——

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the second before Terrence Bedford ended the call, when the camera switched, she saw a very familiar figure.

“Yan…”

It's hard to say whether it's telepathy or not. Almost at the same time she looked at Shen Chuxuan, the other party also stood up, looking as if he was trying hard to choose his words.

"Maybe the video isn't clear, but I have to tell you, when I was talking to my father earlier, I seemed to see Lawrence Bedford, who was supposed to be dead, and—

Xiao Yin's biological father, your teacher."
