The intense pain rushed wildly throughout the body.
Every nerve seemed to be immersed in sulphuric acid and fire at the same time.
The man who is secretive about almost all the people in the Earth Federation, the patriarch of the Lu family, and the only double S-level ALpha in the entire human history, walked step by step into the secret medical base that he had set up in the old house of the Lu family many years ago.
Even though he was enduring hellish pain, there was not much expression on Lu Taipan's face.
Only the slightly staggering steps showed that something was wrong.
On the other hand, the inhibitor that covered him and almost turned him into a humanoid machine also whimpered under the heavy burden. Even without looking at the screen, Lu Taipan was very clear that his mental disorder value was already off the charts.
"Excuse me, my dear master. According to the data I received, if you don't save yourself, there is a high possibility that your spiritual sea will completely collapse and your information glands will be necrotic within three hours. As a high-level artificial intelligence butler trained by you personally, I sincerely suggest that you adopt Plan B. Instead of continuing to return here as planned to accept the temptations of your brothers."
Along with the sound of the automatic medical robot starting up, another voice appeared in the greenhouse. Just like the one in the old library of Hoshikawa University, it is also artificially synthesized electronic sound. The only difference is that the carrier that produces the sound is no longer the same. The bionic body that had easily cracked the firewall at Xingchuan University had long since turned to ashes, and what was now chattering in Lu Taipan's pocket was nothing more than an electronic chip. The burn and cut marks left around the electronic chip showed that it had been roughly peeled off the android's body by someone not long ago.
They had just encountered a very fierce battle: in addition to a certain artificial intelligence whose situation was a bit miserable, the traces of gunpowder that appeared on Lu Taipan's exoskeleton light mecha could more or less prove this.
"You need to return to the Snake Cave immediately for deep mental sedation hypnosis and pheromone compensation treatment. After all, you are now only a step away from becoming a highly dangerous violent lunatic with only attack instincts left..."
The AI, which was loyal in some ways, began to persuade the expressionless man in the middle of the greenhouse with a sincere attitude.
Just over ten hours ago, Lu Taipan, with an advanced artificial intelligence code-named "Butler", secretly took something away from the old library of Xingchuan University. This was the last killer move that the extremely crazy emperor of Canaan left for the Earth Alliance before his defeat: some kind of cosmic-grade high-energy weapon module with unknown principles and functions.
Lu Taipan's actions may well have won the Earth Alliance back another decade of peace, but this was not without cost.
Just as many people have already found out, Lu Taipan does have serious hidden dangers in his health.
His level is really too high.
The overly powerful mental power continued to vibrate in his spiritual sea and impact his body, and his pheromones were completely out of control and in a frenzy - and it was impossible for Lu Taipan to find a high-level Omega who could soothe his mental power.
For most of his life, Lu Taipan relied on the inhibitor on his back and mental blocking drugs to maintain his shaky sanity, but after the battle five years ago, this already fragile balance was completely broken.
Over the past few years, Lu Taipan has been wearing more and more inhibitors and taking more and more drugs, but his mental strength is still skyrocketing wildly, and the degree of pheromone disorder has exceeded the danger level set by the doctor long ago.
In fact, even the doctors were puzzled as to why Lu Taipan could be so normal and calm with such terrible numbers.
According to common sense, Lu Taipan should have completely collapsed by now because of the long and intense pain.
But he behaved like a machine without any perception or human emotions.
But no matter how terrifying and strong self-control is, it still has its limits. The mental power that Lu Taipan used in the previous action undoubtedly caused his body to deteriorate again.
Moreover, the degree of deterioration has even caused artificial intelligence, which is supposed to have no emotions, to behave particularly nagging, long-winded and chattering.
Lu Taipan ignored the other party's constant persuasion.
His face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and his pupils looked even darker and deeper.
He stood up slightly and tapped a few keys on the screen of the automatic robot with his fingertips. Then he turned around skillfully and exposed his back to the medical arm - a robot that had reprogrammed the treatment program many years ago, and this time it successfully inserted the spare powerful inhibitor into Lu Taipan's metal spine.
Seeing that Lu Taipan had already started the treatment on his own, the "housekeeper's" voice gradually became desperate.
"For Turing's sake! Are you crazy now? The inhibitor you are trying now is only the second-generation version from many years ago! According to your current pheromone disorder, this thing will not have any effect at all! My dear master, I still think you should return to the 'Snake Cave' immediately, so that you can at least preserve your basic sanity and IQ..."
"Then alert the enemy, let my stupid brothers realize something is wrong, and completely eliminate any traces of their collusion with the Canaan spies?"
With the injection of the inhibitor, Lu Taipan seemed to finally free up some energy. He asked back with a hint of boredom.
"Even if I return to the Snake Cave and receive the most complete treatment, it will only keep me alive. I don't have much time left. I want to resolve this matter quickly."
There was still no emotion in his tone.
But the "steward" is well aware of the bloody and cruel decision behind this sentence.
"But I really think that this outdated second-generation inhibitor has no effect on you. You might consider other measures, such as using a lower-level Omega pheromone to temporarily suppress your frenzy..."
But as he spoke, the "butler's" voice began to gradually become lower.
As an artificial intelligence with a "rich and delicate personality", the "butler" believes that the series of codes flashing in its information flow probably correspond to the "surprises" in human emotions.
Yes, the "housekeeper" was extremely shocked to find that after injecting the outdated and inefficient second-generation inhibitor, the physiological values that had been completely out of control actually began to decline. Some of them even looked more perfect than before after they had received the highest level of intensive treatment in the Snake Cave.
"You're getting better? What the hell—what did you do?!"
The "Butler" vibrated in Lu Taipan's pocket and began to ask questions continuously.
Lu Taipan raised his eyes, then glanced at his body monitoring values on the panel, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, which had never shown much emotion.
Yes, even Lu Taipan himself had never thought that the inhibitor would have such an effect. According to common sense, this inhibitor, which was once very useful to him, could only have a slight analgesic effect on him who had already developed serious drug resistance.
He just wanted to take advantage of the brief ineffectiveness of the pain relief to complete his plan as quickly as possible.
But now, Lu Taipan could clearly feel that the hellish pain was slowly subsiding, and the nerves that had been burning seemed to be immersed in cool spring water and slowly began to relax.
Lu Taipan couldn't even remember the last time he felt such wonderful comfort.
It was like a cool breeze blowing into the burning inferno.
It was like a spring soaked in honey, flowing through the cracked earth burned by black fire.
…
For some reason, a slender figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
[“My name is Su Liang!”]
I could vaguely hear the boy's clear voice from many years ago.
The pitiful figure of the boy in his memory, who looked like a kitten caught in the rain, gradually overlapped with the handsome young man he had seen at a quick glance in the old library the day before.
A very strange feeling flashed through Lu Taipan's heart, and then disappeared in a flash.
"Butler, take a sample and investigate the composition of the inhibitor I'm using."
Lu Taipan regained his original extreme calmness in a very short time.
He looked at the time and saw that the current acting head of the Lu family, Lu Zhengen, had already returned to the Lu family mansion.
Lu Taipan gave instructions to the "butler" and then put on his mecha and outer clothes again.
Just as Lu Taipan was about to leave the greenhouse, or rather, the medical point he had secretly set up in the Lu family mansion, he inadvertently passed by a corner where a timid little boy had stayed many years ago.
In fact, if the security system set up by Lu Taipan back then had not been so backward and outdated, he would probably know that the stunningly handsome Beta youth who appeared in his mind just a few hours ago had just spent a sweet night here.
A faint fragrance passed over Lu Taipan's nose.
Very sweet.
Very...soft.
It makes people feel a little hot.
…
"Owner?"
The caring greeting from the "housekeeper" brought Lu Taipan back to his senses.
"You're in a daze."
said the housekeeper.
"This is very unusual. Are you sure the inhibitor you're using doesn't have any other side effects?"
“…”
Before responding to "Butler", Lu Taipan subconsciously took a deep breath. He tried to retrieve the faint fragrance just now, but no matter how he identified it, the perception of the double S-level Alpha was still empty.
He smelled nothing.
"I will conduct a thorough examination of myself once I return to the 'Snake Cave'."
In the end, Lu Taipan responded like this.
He also began to suspect that the backup inhibitor he was using might have some special ingredients - at this moment, the strange feeling of emptiness that passed through the depths of his chest made the "monster" in everyone's eyes feel extremely unfamiliar.
The author has something to say:
One sip of your wife's sweetness will cure all your diseases.
By the way, Lu Taipan himself didn’t realize that even without the attraction of pheromones, he would be completely struck by Su Liang’s looks.
It was simply love at first sight.
That's it.
