Ending (Part 2)

Time goes back to the day when we went to rescue Ivy.

The moment she passed out after being injected with liquid in the dungeon.

When Lorraine arrived, Ivy had already lost consciousness.

Humans are just humans.

Human flesh, blood, and bones are not as strong as the steel machinery made by humans.

Lorraine only had time to protect Yu Mo, who was lying on the ground and looked like a human, and Ivy, who was pale and weak with barely a breath under him, before the collapse.

At that moment, Lorraine didn't realize what was happening, and let Dangdang take Xin Lan, who was close to the exit and had her legs crushed, away first.

When preparing to personally take Ivy and Yu Mo, who was barely acting like a human being, away, the mechanical arm of "Yuan" and the bricks that were in danger during the fight collapsed, and Lorraine had no way to escape, and was trapped underneath with the two of them.

Further earthquakes and unrest may occur at any time.

Yu Mo's body had been torn by Yuan's mechanical arms to the point where it was unlikely for him to survive, but his consciousness was still clear, and he could clearly feel the pain in every part of his limbs. He turned his head to the side, looking at the weak Ivy on the ground with reluctance and regret.

Yu Mo told Lorraine.

"She's dying."

"Ivy's brain has suffered from emotional deprivation. The experiment caused her severe brain hemorrhage... This potion that can devour emotions will make her brain health worse," Yu Mo said, "If you give me the hard drive now, I can tell you how to revive - uh!"

In response, Lorraine punched him hard.

Lorraine, with a cold expression, reached into Ivy's bra with his hand that had never touched Yu Mo, looking for the pill that was put in there.

Yu Mo, who was standing beside him, asked in astonishment: "Are you crazy? She looks like she's dying, and you're still thinking about this?"

"Shut up, your brain is dirty to me."

Lorraine scolded him disgustedly, quickly took out the small pill from Ivy's bra, paused, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and fed the small pill to her.

Due to the difficulty in obtaining it and the high failure rate, only a few people in important positions can be equipped with one.

A pill that can save your life until help arrives.

Lorraine lied to Ivy that he only had this one pill.

After putting his fingers in her mouth and pressing her throat to force her to swallow, Ivy's thin breathing gradually became more ups and downs.

At this time, Anya appeared anxiously at the collapse mouth, with the confused red-haired Tsiri not far behind her.

Lorraine decisively handed Ivy out of the narrow collapsed entrance.

"Take her away," Lorraine said sternly. "She needs emergency care."

…

"I thought you would show her all these things in a glamorous way like a peacock in the mating period," Yu Mo thought thoughtfully, "it turns out you didn't tell her."

"Tell what? Tell Ivy that you were almost torn into pieces by the other party because you betrayed Yuan that day?" Lorraine said coldly, "Sorry, I don't like to joke about the suffering of my opponents."

Ivy said, "What?"

She said, "What medicine—the one that was missing from my bra?"

"Maybe it's not missing," Yu Mo said. He looked at Luo Lin with his green eyes for a while, then said, "Forget it."

Ivy said, "What's the matter?"

Her first reaction was to look at Lorraine, only to see his hard, cold profile.

He always does more than he says—even "sneaky" things!

If Yu Mo hadn't pointed it out at this time, perhaps she would have been buried in the secret forever.

"The deal is done," Yu Mo sat down slowly. He said, "Admiral Lorraine, I am willing to provide the cloud address and download method that stores Ivy's memories and emotional consciousness... but in exchange, you must guarantee my safety."

Lorraine nodded: "Okay."

"There's one more thing you need to tell me," he asked bluntly. "Where's Draven?"

"He has long been a loyal follower of 'Yuan'. You don't have to think about bringing him back. The Draven you are familiar with... is no longer your teammate," Yu Mosi was not surprised at all. "Otherwise, who do you think made those engravings on the dungeon wall? Do you think he could hide his identity well without help after leaving the first area? Don't forget, in Iris's team, only you and Ci Li came back alive."

Ivy opened her mouth in surprise.

"Team Iris?"

She looked at Lorraine blankly: "You and Iris——"

The look in Yu Mo's eyes when he looked at Luo Lin changed into "some people really have a big mouth just to be handsome".

"The first generation of Iris team was created by Luo Lin, Xin Lan, Ci Li and Draven together," Luo Lin turned to look at Ivy, "So you didn't know?"

"How should I know?" Ivy exclaimed, "I never expected that. I thought...you..."

"I saw the painting on your bedroom wall when we were married," Lorraine mused, "and I thought you knew it."

Ivy's expression was about to collapse.

“…No one ever told me that.”

Lorraine confirmed: "So, you don't remember someone hugging you during the acid rain?"

Ivy hesitated: "My dad?"

Yu Mo laughed beside him: "Maybe you really called him dad."

Lorraine covered Ivy's lips, took her out of the room and sent her back to the master bedroom.

Song Xu was drinking tea and eating snacks in the living room. Xin Lan directed the housekeeping robot to clean. He went to the kitchen to cook himself, while Ivy...

Ivy was surrounding Lorraine and asked in shock.

"I thought you were only doing a little bit of what you were doing in private, but now it seems that what I know is just the tip of the iceberg."

"What else have you not told me? Are you actually a robot? Ultraman from the M78 Nebula? Or a spongebob living in a giant pineapple in the deep sea? No, you don't look lively at all. Are you the depressed Squidward?"

Lorraine said: "Aren't you tired, little sparrow, after taking a bath? Now my brain and ears are filled with your chirping voice."

"I want to know more," Ivy didn't give up and quickly circled around him, "No, you have to tell me - is the source of my flesh and blood related to you? Wouldn't there be traces of you on my body? Are we related by blood? What did Yu Mo mean by those words? Did you save me during the acid rain? - Uh, it sounds like I can die really easily - ah ah ah, too many questions, where should I start asking -"

She suddenly thought of the most terrifying thing and screamed, "What did Yu Mo mean by 'maybe he called me dad'? You wouldn't -"

Lorraine quickly wrote "Close" on a piece of paper with a pen and pressed it to Ivy's lips.

Ivy stopped chattering immediately and looked at him in surprise.

"Ivy," Lorraine said calmly, "these questions are too complicated to give you satisfactory answers in just a few sentences."

Ivy took off the note and urged: "Then hurry up and speak - you speak much better now. I thought you would say, 'With your comprehension ability, it's hard for me to make you understand with just a few sentences.'"

After she finished speaking, she automatically put the seal back on her lips when she came into Lorraine's sight.

"Maybe I need more time," Lorraine lowered his eyes, "I left in a hurry today and forgot to apply for military quarters. If you are willing to let me stay here for a while, I can answer all your questions."

Ivy nodded.

Of course you can stay overnight.

"But I can't stay at a student's home..." Lorraine asked her, "So, classmate Ivy, can you give me a chance?"

Ivy took off the note and asked, "What chance?"

Lorraine leaned over, held Ivy's hand, lowered her head, and kissed the back of her hand, her different-colored pupils hidden by her eyelashes.

He said, "A chance to pursue you again."

Ivy smiled. She pasted the note that said 'Closed' on the door and said, "The probation period is three months. We will decide whether to make you a permanent employee based on your performance."
