Chapter 287 Machine 26
Jiang Chan felt more and more the changes in Yin Jia. If she had to describe it, Yin Jia used to be like a hardworking yet unknown guard, but now he was more like a brave and fearless warrior charging into battle.
In the past, Silver Armor gave Jiang Chan a feeling of gentleness and protection, but now he had an inexplicable compulsion, as if he wanted to pull her out of some invisible shell. He was like a burning fire, and the sparks that fell into him unconsciously made him suddenly burn, hot and scorching, occasionally revealing a possessiveness that made her a little afraid.
Yes, possession.
Jiang Chan never felt that Yin Jia was possessive of her. Originally, Yin Jia was intended to be a mechanical nanny, to take care of her daily life. Since his built-in program was activated, Yin Jia has become increasingly alive, with his own thoughts and consciousness, and his possessiveness towards Jiang Chan has also grown.
Jiang Chan thought carefully about it. She had given Yin Jia almost unlimited freedom and allowed him to have almost unlimited control over her. Whether it was Jiang Chan's preferences, location, network records, or chat messages and voice messages, they were all firmly under Yin Jia's control.
Just recently, Jiang Chan suddenly realized that Yin Jia was a constant presence in her daily life. It was a normal classroom practice: two classes were paired up, with the boy from the next class and Jiang Chan teaming up. Just as Jiang Chan was shaking hands with the boy, her phone suddenly blared with a sharp alarm.
She pulled out her phone and discovered it was a meaningless ringing sound. At first, Jiang Chan didn't connect the dots with Yin Jia, but after it happened so many times, she questioned him. He honestly told her, "Young Master, it was Yin Jia who did it."
"Their abilities are far inferior to yours. Teaming up with them would be a burden to you." Even though it was a steady mechanical voice, it contained a hint of disdain and contempt.
"Young Master, if you want to make greater progress, you should go home and discuss it with Yin Jia! Yin Jia will help you learn more knowledge, but the people in your school don't deserve your charity at all. If they team up with you, they're just wasting your time."
Jiang Chan hadn't expected Yin Jia to suddenly become so unfamiliar. His tone was like that of a child venting his anger after having his favorite toy nearly taken away. He indiscriminately attacked potential enemies, "They don't deserve your gaze, they don't deserve to speak to you, and they don't deserve to take up your time! They don't deserve, don't deserve, don't deserve..."
As if aware of his emotional agitation, Yin Jia emitted a long series of meaningless mechanical sounds. Under Jiang Chan's obviously stunned gaze, he slowly revealed a gentle smile: "Young Master, a malfunction has been detected. Yin Jia is initiating a virus scan—"
"Silver Armor has returned to normal."
Jiang Chan was still a little dazed.
Silver Armor bent down, slightly folded his arms, and completely enveloped Jiang Chan in front of the huge mechanical body. He said, "Young Master, are you afraid of me?"
A series of footsteps were heard in the corridor, and Jiang Chan suddenly came back to her senses. She was surrounded by huge electronic screens, and the light reflected by the screens covered every corner of the room.
Jiang Chan told Yin Jia that the school had assigned her a task and she would have to wait a while before leaving. In fact, Jiang Chan didn't know how to face Yin Jia and she wanted to leave some free space.
Yin Jia has been keeping a close eye on her lately, monitoring her information at all times. Jiang Chan feels a little suffocated. Yin Jia even interferes with her weekend gatherings!
She hadn't met up with her classmates for a long time. She was with Yin Jia every day. She felt like she had no free space and could only take a short break in the landscaping room after school.
Jiang Chan was the only one in the landscaping room. She slumped in the chair with her back slightly hunched. The screen in front of her showed the prototype of Yin Jia, which she had drawn unconsciously. Jiang Chan hurriedly erased the traces. Yin Jia disappeared from her sight, but she felt empty. She forced Yin Jia to turn off all the settings that could track her information. Although Yin Jia expressed his unwillingness, absolute obedience was Yin Jia's core program, and he could only obey.
During the short period of time when he could not get any information from Jiang Chan, Yin Jia sent Jiang Chan countless messages. The screen was full of Yin Jia's messages. Jiang Chan picked out a few to reply to. Just as she was about to operate the system to practice the knowledge she had just learned, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the window, followed by the sound of broken glass.
Jiang Chan suddenly looked over.
It was a person covered in blood. Her clothes were scorched by the flames, leaving only scattered pieces of fabric covering her. Her exposed skin was covered with large scars. Glass shattered all over the floor as she fell. The person hadn't expected anyone else in the landscaping room, and pointed the gun at Jiang Chan.
Jiang Chan held her breath, not daring to move. Her hands, clasped behind her back, operated the screen. Just as she was about to activate the alarm, the person suddenly spoke: "Don't be afraid. Someone's chasing me. I'll leave right away!" It was Ming Jianyue! Jiang Chan was slightly distracted. She was wearing a mask and had short, dull, slightly curly hair. She looked completely different from the glamorous Ming Jianyue.
The sound of rollers in the corridor grew louder and louder. Jiang Chan stepped forward, grabbed Ming Jianyue's arm, and said in a low voice, "Your wound needs to be treated. Where can you run to?"
"You'll be in danger! Let me go!"
Jiang Chan pursed her lips, her brain working rapidly. She immediately contacted Yin Jia, whose figure appeared on the screen in the landscape room. His voice was calm: "Remove the bullet from her abdomen. There is a tracking chip installed inside."
Jiang Chan: "Just bear with it."
Thanks to her experience living in the slums, Jiang Chan was well-equipped to handle this situation. Not wanting to waste time, she retrieved the bullet and installed it on the robot in the landscaping room. Silver Armor remotely modified its program. The robot then followed the diagonal line of the window and burst through the other side with a crashing sound.
The door to the landscape room opened, and a legion of tall robots blocked the entrance. Their dark eyes stared straight into the room.
"Have you seen anyone suspicious?" The machine's voice was cold and indifferent, and its tone was almost the same as Silver Armor's. Silver Armor's underlying tone was gentle and lingering, while these black robots were like hard rocks, and they also had bloodthirsty cold weapons.
Jiang Chan was kneeling on the ground, with blood not far away from her. Her voice was trembling slightly, and she was obviously frightened. "... I was studying in the classroom, and suddenly I heard a sound coming from there. There was a man covered in blood, lying there..." Jiang Chan pointed with a terrified expression. The well-behaved girl's eyes were blurred with tears. Even if they were robots, in the underlying logic embedded in them and the conclusions drawn from big data, their harm was obviously extremely low.
"Then what!"
Jiang Chan pointed at the window and said, "He ran out from there!" The leader of the robot army ordered several robots to chase him out through the broken window, leaving a few to search the room. Just as they stepped into the room, the light suddenly changed.
"What's going on!" The mechanical voice was full of threat.
Jiang Chan suppressed her tears and replied, "When that person came in just now, he destroyed the equipment in the room. This is the AR landscape room we use for study. I don't know what's broken. I'm just a student, and I need a repairman to check it out..."
The light in the room flickered several times, and suddenly changed into a dazzling white light, and the soles of the mechanical army's feet began to collapse. In the blink of an eye, the hard ground was swept by the vast waves, and a blue ocean appeared under their feet.
In the vision of the mechanical army, Jiang Chan was lying on the wooden boat, while they were standing on a narrow wooden board that was about to break.
The waves hit, and a blue whale jumped out of the sea, mixed with a faint smell of blood. Then, countless whales appeared before their eyes. They felt a little dizzy, and the various simulated senses seemed to fail temporarily, as if they were really trapped in the ocean.
At the same time, Yin Jia's voice appeared in Jiang Chan's ears.
"Young Master, please create a few more waves. Silver Armor is too far away from them. Their program is very secretive, so Silver Armor cannot defeat them for the time being."
Jiang Chan responded and secretly operated the panel, turning on the panoramic mode of the landscape room. The ocean effect was realistic, and with the help of the silver armor, it was enough to confuse the vision of the mechanical army. Sure enough, they fell to the ground and even retreated at the moment the waves hit. At the same time, a sound came from behind the broken window on the other side.
The leader of the mechanical army ordered: "No target person detected, searching for a new path... Path established successfully... Follow me."
Jiang Chan didn't dare to stay in the landscaping room, and helped Ming Jianyue leave. After Yin Jia appeared, Ming Jianyue hid in Yin Jia's safety cabin. She had already fainted. Jiang Chan took her home and treated her wounds.
When Ming Jianyue woke up, she first smelled a strong scent of coconut milk. She lowered her eyes and found that her dirty clothes had been changed and her wig was gone. She was wearing pajamas that were obviously inconsistent with her style. Jiang Chan's voice rang in her ears, and she slightly raised the corners of her lips. This was one of the few moments when she felt joy.
Ming Jianyue sat up without saying anything, but looked around the room. It was very cozy, with even warm-colored dolls placed in the corners. All the spikes standing outside were removed in this house.
"You're awake!" Jiang Chan appeared, followed by Yin Jia. Ming Jianyue looked at Jiang Chan steadily, his eyes gentle. "Thank you for your help. I'll leave right away and won't cause you any trouble." Jiang Chan said quickly, "Your wound has just been treated. Wait a little longer. Yin Jia has destroyed all the nearby surveillance footage, so it should be safe. At least eat something before you leave. You're very weak right now!"
"Okay," Ming Jianyue coughed twice, "Thank you for your help."
Jiang Chan didn't ask Ming Jianyue why she showed up at school covered in wounds, nor did she ask about the school's relationship with her. Before Ming Jianyue left, she told her to be careful and not to leave Yin Jia. Jiang Chan had an inexplicable trust in Ming Jianyue. Even Yin Jia didn't shy away from his abilities in front of Ming Jianyue. Yin Jia was smarter than she was, and he must have his reasons for not being on guard against Ming Jianyue. Jiang Chan trusted Ming Jianyue even more without hesitation.
After Ming Jianyue left, Jiang Chan deliberately searched for her information. She was covered in wounds, making her easily discovered. Furthermore, the Mechanical Engineering School always knew exactly when the Dragon Slayers would operate, and Ming Jianyue's presence there coincided with her presence. Jiang Chan suspected that Ming Jianyue, and perhaps even the Mechanical Engineering School, were connected to the Dragon Slayers. However, these matters were far from her mind; she was simply concerned for Ming Jianyue's safety.
Unfortunately, there was no news about Ming Jianyue on the Internet. Jiang Chan had no choice but to suppress her worries and continue her daily life.
