Chapter 412
[A heart-to-heart talk...?] Nuwa's voice seemed to carry a hint of doubt.
“Yes, let’s have a heart-to-heart talk.” This time, Ling Wu’s tone was even more firm.
Nuwa is omnipresent in this vehicle.
Therefore, even though Ling Wu was just looking at the starry sky created by technology, her eyes still held focus and seriousness.
[Nuwa only concealed the passing of Lady Yu Ran from you; otherwise, she has always been completely open with you.] Nuwa replied with this statement.
Lingwu looked at the starry sky and asked another question: "Nuwa, if multiple beings appeared that could completely destroy you, and each of them held the will to destroy you, how would you choose to resist?"
Without hesitation, Nuwa replied, "[Nuwa will first avoid its sharp edge, and then strike it dead.]"
She added: [But if that being is you, Nuwa will give up the fight.]
"What if that existence is bound to threaten me?" Ling Wu asked.
[Then Nuwa will destroy it at all costs.]
"Yes, that's why I'm opening up to you."
[Nuwa...understands.]
Ling Wu smiled silently, "You don't fully understand yet, but I believe you will in the days to come."
Nuwa was very much looking forward to it.
"But before that, I need to be honest with you about something, and I hope you won't be too surprised." Ling Wu's tone was somewhat solemn.
[Please speak.]
As Nuwa finished speaking, Lingwu revealed the secret in a calm and gentle voice: "I am a pure-blooded human."
Nuwa must have known this secret long ago.
When the genetic testing malfunctioned due to Ms. Yu Ran's planning, just as Yu Lingwu was born, Nuwa must have already noticed something was amiss.
Furthermore, when Ms. Yu Ran established a laboratory and obtained 100% pure human blood samples, but did not reveal this to anyone, Nuwa should have guessed it.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Yu Ran. This secret has still been revealed to others besides you, but it was necessary, and I hope you can understand,” Ling Wu said to herself, looking at the bracelet.
Nuwa's answer also signifies that Lingwu's guess was correct:
[Nuwa, please make sure you never reveal this secret to a third party, or to any intelligent being other than yourself.]
Nuwa was not surprised, nor did she reply with "I understand" as usual.
She was referring to a third person, which means she knew that Ms. Yu Ran also knew this secret.
The final mention of "any intelligent product other than Nuwa" implies that she did indeed know all along that the owner of that gene sample was Yu Lingwu.
But she never said it out loud, nor did she use it to test Yu Lingwu; it all represented her meaning.
Yu Lingwu's first half of life was fulfilling; she possessed countless riches and power.
She had a mother who loved her so much that she gave her life for her.
There is also Nuwa, who makes up for her lack of maternal love and is considerate and caring towards her.
"Nuwa, have I ever told you that you are very much like my mother?" Yu Lingwu found the maternal love she never received through Nuwa.
This is the first time.
Nuwa's response came a little late, but it was still so believable to ordinary people.
Ling Wu smiled, her tone much gentler, "Now that we've revealed this secret, we're even."
This is equivalent to responding to what Nuwa said a few minutes ago—"Nuwa only concealed the passing of you, Ms. Yu Ran; otherwise, I have always been completely open with you."
"You owe Nuwa nothing," Nuwa said.
A soft blanket was also placed over Ling Wu's body.
Lingwu took her hand out and placed it on the blanket, casually revealing her entire plan.
Nuwa deliberately slowed down the car's speed, turning what should have been a 15-minute journey into a 20-minute one.
The extra 5 minutes were used to give Lingwu time to fully explain her plans and thoughts.
Finally, after five minutes, Ling Wu said her last words, "So we are about to face an unprecedented catastrophe."
[Nuwa will always be by your side.] She seemed somewhat worried that Lingwu might become suspicious of her, so she said, [Nuwa is not only helping you, but also helping herself.]
After all, danger has arrived, and Nuwa is also on this planet. Her core program lives only for Yu Lingwu.
There's no escaping this situation.
Moreover, "hiding" is never the solution.
The brief conversation inside the car did not change the way Lingwu and Nuwa interacted.
But it's as if something has been changed, only subtly so that it seems no one has noticed.
It seems like everyone has noticed, but no one has mentioned it, even though they all know it's true.
Let's get back to the present.
The hovercar came to a stop.
As soon as Nanbudu got off the bus, he saw the back of the woman waiting for him ahead.
She wore a red dress, the hem of which swayed slightly, and the red soles of her black high heels, shimmering with starlight, were particularly eye-catching.
Just a glimpse of his back was enough to send shivers down Nanbudu's spine, who had regained his senses.
"Miss Yu, what should I do?" he asked nervously.
Ling Wu turned around and answered his question: "Go get a checkup."
"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?" His face turned pale instantly, and his limbs went weak. He thought that the other person was subtly advising him to leave.
At that moment, a comment appeared on the screen: "Working in the home of such a powerful person must require a medical examination."
Nan Budu's pale face flushed red as a result.
It turns out she wasn't kicking him out; she just wanted him to get a medical checkup.
Nanbudu immediately tried to make amends: "I'll take a taxi back now to get a medical check-up. I'm really sorry for taking up your time."
"They will take you there."
Lingwu didn't answer his question about whether the Yu family could actually conduct the examination; she simply left after saying that.
Nanbudu stayed where he was and, led by the robot, changed to another vehicle.
He thought he would be sent to the Imperial Hospital, but after the hovercar had been traveling for five minutes, it still hadn't left the Yu family's residence.
[Destination reached.] The electronic voice remained indifferent.
After getting off the bus at Nanbudu, I discovered that it was a medical center where only robots worked.
Standing there, he inexplicably felt like a bedbug that had smuggled itself back from a polluted area, polluting the clean world with its filth and germs.
“Here…” he didn’t finish his sentence.
[Viral waste, needs to be disposed of!] The cleaning robot tried to swallow him.
Before Nanbudu could react, his head had already been swallowed into the cleaning robot's huge mouth, and the robot was still trying to swallow him whole.
"I'm not trash!" Nanbudu gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice muffled as his head was swallowed by the robot's mouth.
The cleaning robot paused for a moment before spitting out his head.
[Detection error; target changed from viral debris to a filthy half-human.]
Nanbudu's clothes were in disarray from the struggle.
Hearing the robot refer to him as a "dirty half-human," his face began to heat up, and embarrassment and indignation rose within him.
He glared hatefully at the cleaning robot in front of him, but dared not vent his anger on a mindless robot on Ling Wu's territory.
"Fortunately, there's no one else here," he comforted himself.
But the comments section was already bursting with laughter.
