Chapter 192 Chapter 192 Vest King Dad 12
"Sun Sirui, will you come pick up Zhuozhuo?"
In the banquet hall on the top floor, Zhuozhuo sat upright on the sofa and looked at Sun Sirui, his round eyes filled with anticipation, anxiety and dependence, looking cute and pitiful.
Sun Sirui paused in his retreat and reassured, "Yes. I'll pick you up as soon as I'm done. Not a second's wasted."
"You won't forget, okay?"
"I won't forget. I'll always keep it in mind, and I'll have 003 write it down on a memo and remind me three times every day."
Zhuozhuo still looked at Sun Sirui pitifully, her little mouth pouting, but she only said softly, "Hurry up, Zhuozhuo misses you."
Sun Sirui almost rushed back and carried Zhuozhuo away, but he held back with all his willpower and promised solemnly, "Dad will get this resolved as quickly as possible and then take you home."
Zhuozhuo waved her little hand and said dejectedly, "Goodbye, Sun Sirui."
"Goodbye, Zhuozhuo."
Sun Sirui made up his mind and turned around and walked away, worried that if he dawdled any longer, he would not be able to leave the banquet hall for the whole day.
[Little Master, let's play statues, shall we?]
003 did not wait for Sun Sirui to go far away, and did not give Zhuozhuo a chance to feel sad. He stood in front of her and proposed enthusiastically.
Zhuozhuo had never played this game before and had no interest. 003 then invited 9972 to demonstrate it to Zhuozhuo, successfully piqued his interest. The two players used rock-paper-scissors to decide who would catch the first person, and the game began. The thrill of the game quickly made Zhuozhuo forget his worries and sorrows, and he immersed himself in it wholeheartedly.
Being caught again, Zhuozhuo faced the sofa and began to count skillfully: "One, two, three, wooden man!"
She immediately turned to look, first spotting 9972, only two or three steps away. After a quick assessment, she decided to grab him and rushed over, screaming, "Ahhh!" However, 9972 was very agile, turning swiftly and quickly closing the distance between them.
Undeterred, Zhuozhuo gathered her strength and sped up, twirling her short legs even faster. At the sharp turn at 9972, she couldn't react in time and, with a howl, crashed into a pair of hard, long legs. Zhuozhuo bounced back and sat on the ground, only to be lifted up by a large hand by the collar.
Zhuozhuo looked up and saw the man's face, which was a bit evil, and his cold and sharp eyes. She subconsciously looked at the top of his head: "Huh..."
It feels weird, let me take another look.
Si Hao noticed where Zhuo Zhuo's gaze was, and his heart tightened. He raised his eyebrows coldly and said icily, "Are you Zhuo Zhuo?"
"Oh, yes." Zhuozhuo nodded slowly, staring at Si Hao's mouth, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"I'm Si Hao, your father's friend. I'll be taking care of you for the next few days. You can tell me if you need anything. I won't be angry." After a pause, he added, "Don't be afraid even if you see me scolding others. I won't be angry with you."
"Okay." Zhuozhuo responded in a low voice, glancing at Si Hao from time to time, as if afraid of his domineering aura.
Si Hao felt a little annoyed. Why did he change his identity to alpha in the first place? He couldn't restrain the pressure of pheromones and mental power like Sun Sirui and disguise himself as completely harmless.
"Come on, I'll take you to my spaceship."
"Okay." Zhuozhuo still spoke in a low voice and shrank his neck, like a frightened quail.
Both Si Hao and 003 noticed Zhuo Zhuo's abnormality, but Si Hao and 003 felt that it would take time for a child to adapt to strangers and they couldn't be impatient, so they endured it and said nothing. They took Zhuo Zhuo on a star shuttle and quickly returned to the Empire's command ship.
Si Hao used a special passage and didn't meet anyone along the way. He took Zhuo Zhuo back to his residence and found an excuse to go out, letting her familiarize herself with the environment so as not to be too restrained.
Zhuozhuo sat casually on the nearest small sofa, ignoring the childlike and cute decorations in the room and the fruits and snacks on the table. He had a serious face and didn't say a word.
But 003 vaguely felt that Zhuozhuo was talking to 9972, and they seemed to have a special way of communicating, which made it very jealous.
If you ask 003 why it feels this way, it will say that this is the intuition of a love rival—the love of family! It is so angry that it gnashes its teeth and wants to assassinate 9972 ten thousand times in the online world, but in reality, it can only watch in silence as the expressions on Zhuozhuo's cute little face keep changing.
"Everyone!" Zhuozhuo called out urgently in her mind. She was in big trouble. "Si Hao and Sun Sirui, the spirit bodies above their heads are exactly the same!"
She counted them specifically: a big black snake with red wings, a black dog with three heads, a big black bird with a long tail, a big shiny black turtle, and a black cat holding a fish, five in total, rotating back and forth like a slide show.
However, Zhuozhuo also took a closer look at Si Hao's appearance. His only similarity to Sun Sirui was black hair. Sun Sirui had dark eyes, pale skin, delicate features, and a gentle and beautiful demeanor. Standing 1.8 meters tall, he was rather frail, with a melancholic and quiet demeanor that occasionally gave off a sense of fragility.
Si Hao, on the other hand, had deep, ocean-blue eyes, his gaze and features filled with a dangerous aggression, a powerful sense of oppression. He always looked at people with a hint of sarcasm, exuding a lazy, yet superior, world-weariness. Standing 1.88 meters tall, his muscles were toned and firm when he exerted force. Just by standing there, he gave the impression that he could tear apart a mecha with his bare hands.
Zhuozhuo subconsciously believed that Si Hao and Sun Sirui were the same person, but her eyes kept giving her the opposite answer. This made her confused and uneasy. She didn't know which sense to trust, so she asked 9972 for help.
After hearing Zhuozhuo's words, 9972 realized something it had overlooked. Appearance could be disguised, but mental strength could not. Military precision instruments could detect the frequency of each person's mental strength, but Zhuozhuo didn't even need to distinguish between them; she could tell the difference in each person's mental strength at a glance.
Therefore, no matter how Sun Sirui tried, no matter how perfect his disguise was, as long as he appeared in front of Zhuozhuo, he would be exposed in seconds.
hiss.
I don’t know what Sun Sirui would think, but 9972 feels it’s exciting. It is looking forward to the scene where Zhuo Zhuo takes off his vest. Just thinking about it makes people feel happy!
[Baby, think about it yourself, and when you meet Sun Sirui, tell me the answer, okay?]
9972, who hadn't offered any guidance, felt incredibly kind. As for whether Sun Sirui would be discovered by Zhuo Zhuo in advance and lose the chance to confess and receive leniency, that depended on his luck. It would offer a brief prayer for him.
Zhuozhu nodded her little head, her mind gradually occupied by "Are Si Hao and Sun Sirui the same person?". Without that unknown and uneasy feeling as if she had seen a ghost, her nerves became excited, her eyes were bright, and she jumped down from the sofa in a flash, circling the room looking for clues.
[Little Master, what are you doing? 33 is here to help you.]
Zhuozhuo subconsciously wanted to tell 003, but then he thought, 003 is Sun Sirui's companion system, they are standing together, and it will inform Sun Sirui!
So, Zhuozhuo said vaguely and guiltily: "I won't tell you."
003: [……]
It was squeezed out of the small group. It must be 9972 who instigated this!
003 was filled with resentment and fury for a moment, but suddenly he came up with a brilliant idea. It "beeped" on Si Hao's computer, "Little Master needs help."
Si Hao immediately put down the command panel and walked back, saying, "What happened to Zhuozhuo? You have full authority over this spacecraft, why didn't you deal with it immediately?"
[According to my analysis, Zhuozhuo needs a harmless and familiar object to help her adapt to the new environment.]
Si Hao instantly guessed 003's thoughts and said with a half-smile, "You?"
【It is your companion system. 】
"Aren't you my companion system?" Si Hao paused, "Oh, it's 004."
In the Admiral's dormitory, Zhuozhuo crawled under the bed and found it was spotless without a speck of dust. She crawled out again and sat on the floor, chin in her hand, thinking seriously, "Tongtong, is the area under Sun Sirui's bed also this clean? What a pity, Zhuozhuo never crawled under Sun Sirui's bed."
[……]
This is really not a pity.
[Baby, Sun Sirui and Si Hao didn't clean under the bed themselves, it was a housekeeping robot. Whether they like cleanliness or not, as long as there's a housekeeping robot, everything will be clean.]
"Alas," Zhuozhuo was too tired to speak, and complained softly in his mind, "I can't find anything. I need to see Si Hao and Sun Sirui, and compare them together."
“Knock, knock.”
There was a gentle knock on the door, and a lively child's voice came from the speaker, "Hello, Zhuozhuo. I'm Admiral Si Hao's companion system 004. I'm here to bring you something. May I come in?"
Zhuozhuo opened her eyes wide, looked at 003 and then at 9972, she climbed up with her hands on the ground, ran to the door, and said in a baby voice, "44, please come in."
The door opened, and a small robot, only half a head taller than Zhuozhuo, slid in. It had a round head and its body was curved in all directions. It was bright and warm yellow, dotted with colorful flowers, and was very cute.
It was the first time Zhuozhuo had seen such a childlike robot. His eyes were glued to it, and he circled around it, saying childishly, "44, you look cute, and your voice is cute too."
"Thank you for the compliment. I'm very happy." 004's cheeks flushed, and his round eyes narrowed into slits. His chest opened, revealing socks, knee pads, and elbow pads. "Zhaozhuo, please wear protective gear when playing to avoid bumps and colds."
"Okay." Zhuozhuo climbed onto the sofa and sat down, waiting for them to put on him.
9972 has never been competitive. It stepped forward and stood in a good position nearby, ready to enjoy the internal fight between 003 and 004. However, 003 seemed to have changed his nature and stood still, letting 004 put on socks and knee and elbow pads for Zhuozhuo.
9972 instantly understood that 003 was trying to give 004 a chance to shine, quickly closing the distance between them and Zhuozhuo, increasing his status in Zhuozhuo's heart, and then joining forces to deal with him. But this was too hasty, not even a moment of pretense. Wasn't it underestimating Zhuozhuo?
Zhuozhuo was originally looking at 004 when she realized it was giving her socks, knee pads, and elbow pads. What was going on?! It had been ages since she'd had a system do such heavy work. It'd always been split evenly between 003 and 9971, with neither side losing out.
Zhuozhuo looked up and saw 003 and 9972 standing steadily. She asked in her mind, "Tongtong, are you and 33 bullying 44? 44 is here, and you guys are not working anymore."
[……]
9972 was trying not to laugh. Who could have imagined Zhuozhuo's adorable train of thought? Trying not to show any abnormality, he said, "Baby, I just wanted to see how 004 was doing his job. I didn't bully him."
"Oh, 33 thinks so too?"
9972 is proud. Look how fast this little brain works. No one can fool her easily. She said: "I don't know, baby. Ask her."
Zhuozhuo really asked, tilting his head adorably, "33, are you being lazy and don't want to take care of Zhuozhuo?"
"How could that be, little master? Unless my data collapses and my consciousness dissipates, I will always be by your side to take care of you." 003 blurted out. When he realized what he had said, he panicked for a moment and could only comfort himself that Zhuozhuo was still young and didn't understand how incredible and terrifying it would be for artificial intelligence to have self-awareness.
Then, 003 asked gently, "Little Master, who told you that I was lazy and that I didn't want to take care of you?"
Zhuozhuo didn't answer. She stared at 003, her expression thoughtful. 003 was a little nervous, but he didn't know what he was nervous about. Fortunately, Zhuozhuo's gaze quickly shifted to 004.
Maybe it was judging whether it bullied 004.
0t03 was about to defend himself a little more when he suddenly heard Zhuo Zhuo Nai say to 004, "You are 33?"
Without waiting for 004 to answer, Zhuozhuo looked at 003 and said, "33 and 44, are they the same system?"
