Chapter 72
Little Langze stood there in a daze, and No. 5 couldn't pull him away. When she wanted to snatch the disc robot back and run away, it was too late.
Luo Shengfei strode up to Xiao Langze and recognized at a glance that this was the sweeping robot he had modified.
"So it's here with you. I thought I didn't bring it out." He said happily and subconsciously stretched out his hand.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Luo Shengfei regretted it, because -
He suddenly remembered that this was a nursery!
Why was he trying to get the things back from the little monster without taking any protective measures?
What’s the difference between this and risking your life?
Sure enough, as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he felt a pain on the back of his hand.
Luo Shengfei screamed and quickly stepped back.
However, the one who attacked him was not the little wolf cub that Luo Shengfei had imagined, but Number Five who was holding the boy next to him. She suddenly let go of Number Eight, grabbed his hand and bit it hard.
Luo Shengfei looked at the bloody bite marks on the back of his hand, gasped, and quickly stepped back.
Then he saw that Number Five, who had always been calm and easy to talk to among the cubs, had his arms outstretched in front of Number Eight, his lovely eyes wide open, staring at him with anger and hatred.
The little girl bared her teeth at him, her flaxen hair was fluffy and slightly messy, and with two animal ears and a furry tail swinging behind her, she looked like an enraged little lion, full of aggression.
Luo Shengfei couldn't help but take another step back, sweat dripping down his forehead.
What's going on? Has Number Five gone berserk?
"Number Five, calm down..."
Luo Shengfei couldn't help but panic. He was just an ordinary person without any special abilities. It was not easy for him to control the frenzied cub, not to mention that his neck was crooked.
Just then, he heard footsteps behind him.
It’s Su Ci!
Luo Shengfei was just about to remind him not to come over and quickly call the action team when he heard the young man's gentle and calm voice: "Number Five."
He called out to the little girl.
Luo Shengfei widened his eyes in surprise.
Because he couldn't turn his neck and had to be on guard against No. 5's attack, he kept watching the little girl's expression, and thus he saw the changes in No. 5 with his own eyes.
After the breeder called her, the little girl, who was baring her teeth and ready to pounce on him at any time, was suddenly stunned and began to shrink back.
The animal ears on her head drooped limply, which usually shows fear and timidity.
Obviously, no one hit or scolded her, but the little girl's mouth suddenly drooped, and tears began to accumulate in her brown eyes.
The little lion who was so fierce just now turned into a pitiful little crybaby in the blink of an eye.
Luo Shengfei:?!
What is Number Five doing? Why is he showing such an expression? Luo Shengfei couldn't help but look at Su Ci. He really didn't do anything to her just now!
Su Ci ignored him.
He walked over slowly and looked at the little girl who had just lost her temper at Luo Shengfei but was now scared and started crying. He couldn't help but look thoughtful.
The young man just looked at him calmly, but it had already caused huge psychological pressure on Number Five.
Everything that happened last night replayed in her mind again. The fear and pressure that came from her blood made her shrink and tremble.
But she has something she wants to protect.
"You! Don't hurt 4583!"
She finally overcame her fear, mustered up the courage, and used her ability on Su Ci and Luo Shengfei. However, as soon as she said that, her tears began to fall, making her words sound powerless.
Of course, the effect of the Word Spirit did not weaken, but it had no effect on Su Ci, and Luo Shengfei, who was standing behind him, was also protected by him.
So Luo Shengfei was not under control. He just looked at No. 5, slightly dazed.
At this time, 4583's warm and honest voice sounded again.
"Don't cry, dear baby. Robots won't be harmed. 4583 will always be here with you."
It tried to comfort Number Five, but its comfort had no effect on Number Five.
"Don't lie to me again!"
The little girl turned around, glared at the disc-shaped robot and said fiercely, "You can't stay with me forever. The robot will get hurt, die, and disappear forever... I don't want this to happen anymore!"
She yelled fiercely, but she couldn't control her tears. The little girl cried so sadly that her tears kept falling like pearls from a broken string.
The little wolf cub, whose worldview was being reorganized after realizing a terrible fact, came to his senses when he heard her sobbing.
Why is Number Five crying again!
Little Langze almost subconsciously looked up at the breeder and cast a look at him for help.
When the young man's calm and indifferent handsome face came into view, the image of him in last night's "dream" once again appeared clearly in the little wolf cub's mind.
His heart skipped a beat, and the worries of last night came back to him again.
Susu...will he change back? Will he still teach him to play the flute? Will he still be his support when he asks for help?
The little wolf cub's eyes kept changing with emotions as he looked at Su Ci. In the end, he became as pitiful as Number Five, and even turned slightly red, as if he was about to cry.
Su Ci looked at the two children in front of him and couldn't help laughing.
Last night... he seemed to have scared the kids a lot.
However, if he hadn't watched the surveillance video, he really wouldn't remember what he did last night.
He thought about it and took the metal disc from Xiao Langze.
Number Five was sobbing, and seeing this, she couldn't help but feel anxious. She quickly stretched out her little hands, but in the end, just like last night, she didn't dare to step forward to snatch it.
She had just used her ability on the breeder again, and her courage had been exhausted. In the eyes of the young girl, the breeder was like an insurmountable mountain, pressing down on her head, making her feel breathless.
But under her desperate gaze, the breeder took the metal disc and gently put it back on the ground.
The nanny robot couldn't understand the atmosphere. As soon as it landed, it stretched out its four mechanical legs and moved to her side, and began to gently comfort its good baby as usual.
Number Five couldn't help but blink and slowly stopped crying.
She saw the breeder squatting in front of her. His eyes, which had turned back to their dark and deep color, looked back at her calmly, just as they had been when she first met him, gentle and harmless.
"Xiao Luo would never harm a robot," Su Ci said. "In fact, he was the one who repaired robot 4583."
Number Five was stunned.
4583...was it repaired by this "murderer"?
She looked at Su Ci, then at Luo Shengfei, who was tilting his neck behind him, "Really...really?"
Her voice was heavily nasal, and her eyes and nose were red and swollen from crying. If you ignored the ears on her head and the tail behind her, she looked like an ordinary cub.
Where had Luo Shengfei ever seen a cub in a nursery show such a side of itself?
Moreover, this was the first time he saw No. 5 maintaining the robot nanny. To be honest, it shocked him and made him indescribably moved.
As a maintenance worker who deals with machines all day long, Luo Shengfei naturally has a special feeling for machines. When he sees a machine being damaged, he often feels regretful and heartbroken, so in this regard, he feels that he can understand No. 5's feelings very well.
This realization somewhat shattered his previous understanding of the cubs in the nursery.
Although he often went to the nursery due to work requirements and had more opportunities to interact with the cubs, Luo Shengfei did not think that these cubs were much different from the little monsters in the rumors.
He had tried his best to face them with composure, but just now, when he faced Number Eight and Number Five alone, he couldn't help but feel fear, still treating them as little monsters that would go crazy and attack him at any moment...
However, No. 5's maintenance of 4583 made him reflect.
He shifted his gaze from Number Five to Number Eight, whose face showed a look of joy, and then looked at the other cubs who were watching them quietly.
Luo Shengfei suddenly felt that these cubs were very strange.
Or perhaps, he had never truly understood them before.
At least, what he just saw from Number Five, the youngest child, was not just destructiveness and aggression. Even at such a young age, she already had the awareness of protecting her companions.
Although the companion she recognized was a nanny robot.
Luo Shengfei finally understood why the breeder Su was willing to make a deal with him for three cans of beef and entrust him to repair No. 4583.
Luo Shengfei was filled with emotion for a moment.
I didn’t expect that the newly hired breeder is so good at it!
He looked at the little girl and tried to communicate with her calmly: "Yes, I repaired No. 4583, but there is still a part that is not done. I just wanted to take it back to help it complete the last part of the modification."
"Don't worry, I won't hurt 4583. As a maintenance worker, deliberately destroying machines is something I absolutely detest!"
Number Five looked at Luo Shengfei, his eyes still filled with suspicion. "That day... 4583 hadn't even finished talking to me, and you... you killed it!"
But she didn't understand why 4583 came back to life.
Luo Shengfei was also a little confused. He recalled it carefully and vaguely understood what No. 5 meant when he said, "He killed 4583."
"Ah... that was forcing the robot into hibernation, a form of protection." He scratched his hair. "Its entire body was falling apart at the time. If the power wasn't cut off in time, it might have been damaged even more seriously."
After hearing his explanation, the little girl was also confused, "Is... is that so?"
"Of course!"
Luo Shengfei felt that he was going to die unjustly. He really didn't expect that his actions at that time would cause such a serious misunderstanding.
He was clearly just a child of a few years old, yet he had already thought so much! He also reminded himself again that he had to be more careful around these cubs in the future.
"Let me show you."
He reached out and turned off the switch on the top of the disc robot. The sensor light on the top of the disc robot immediately went out and the entire robot stopped moving.
Seeing No. 5's face turn pale, Luo Shengfei quickly pressed the switch again, and the disc robot started again.
"Look, when the power is turned off, the robot simply goes into hibernation. Once the power is reconnected, it will be able to move again. As long as the core is intact, it can be used again after the body is replaced."
Number 4583 also cooperated very well and circled around Number 5. "Look, baby, I'm fine. I just fell asleep."
Number Five finally believed what Luo Shengfei said.
"So that's how it is..."
"Yes, that's right!" Luo Shengfei looked at No. 5, then at the disc robot circling around her, and more new ideas came to his mind.
He originally just accepted the commission from breeder Su.
Because Su Ci did not have any specific requirements, he just wanted No. 4583 to be repaired, so he mainly modified No. 4583 from the perspective of practicality.
However, watching the interaction between the robot and Number Five, he suddenly felt that he could actually do better...
At this time, after listening to the conversation between the two and knowing what had happened, Xiao Langze looked at the breeder next to him, then at No. 5 and the maintenance worker.
He suddenly pulled Number Five aside.
The boy lowered his head and whispered a few words in the little girl's ear.
Not knowing what he said, the little girl frowned in resistance at first, but soon, after the boy said something else, she couldn't help but lower her head and look at the disc robot at her feet.
Finally, she nodded.
Seeing that she was willing to obey, Xiao Langze couldn't help but grin, and then pushed her back.
Then, something even more surprising happened to Luo Shengfei.
He heard the little girl's voice, softly speaking in front of him: "Thank you."
Luo Shengfei opened his mouth wide. Did he just... hear Number Five thanking him?
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw the little girl raised her head. Her round brown eyes no longer contained hatred or anger.
Number Five was also looking at Luo Shengfei.
Just now, it was Number Eight who asked her to express her gratitude. He also said that breeders like polite children.
She couldn't help but clench her fingers.
He helped fix 4583, so she should thank him. Besides... because of a misunderstanding, she had mistaken him for a bad guy and almost let the monster eat him...
"Thank you for fixing 4583, and..."
Number Five lowered his head and said very sincerely, "I'm sorry, Xiao Luo."
Luo Shengfei, who was originally very moved, said:? ?
What did Xiao Luo mean? He thought of something, and couldn't help but hold his neck, looking at Su Ci beside him with some resentment.
Number Five must have learned this from him!
Luo Shengfei was about to correct Number Five when the little wolf cub's voice rang out, "Hahaha, Number Five, you're amazing! I didn't even teach you, and you've already apologized to the little camel. Number Four will definitely praise you when he finds out."
Luo Shengfei: ...
Forget about the little Luo, but what the hell is the little camel?
He wanted to correct the two little guys, but the little wolf cub was already looking at him and asked, "Then can you help 4583 with the final modification? If 4583 breaks down in the future, can I still ask you to fix it?"
When Number Five heard what the little wolf said, his eyes suddenly lit up.
She looked at Luo Shengfei eagerly and whispered, "There are still... there are still 4586..."
The little wolf pup twitched his ears, and after hearing her words clearly, he loudly repeated for her, "Oh, and there's 4586! If it breaks down in the future, can you fix it?"
The young man's pair of lively green eyes looked at Luo Shengfei expectantly, causing Luo Shengfei to forget what he was about to say. All that remained in his mind was:
Holy shit! That grumpy little wolf who always calls himself "Master" is actually smiling at him!
He nodded groggily, "Of course, it's my duty."
"Yeah!"
The little wolf cub cheered and said to Number Five with a smile, "Look, the little camel has agreed. If the nanny robot breaks down in the future, you can always ask him for help. Don't be sad!"
Number Five nodded. Perhaps influenced by the little wolf cub, she couldn't help but smile, looking extremely cute.
The little girl looked at Luo Shengfei and said again in her soft and cute voice, "Thank you, little camel!"
Luo Shengfei: ...
How come even Number Five is calling him that! Just now it was Xiao Luo's name!
He opened his mouth, but it was rare to see two children so calm, well-behaved and cute, so he couldn't bear to correct them.
Hey, let’s just call him little camel. It sounds quite friendly.
"Then I'll take No. 4583 back first and return it to you after it's modified," said Luo Shengfei.
Number Five, who was originally very happy, suddenly lost her smile. She looked at him hesitantly, then at the disc robot on the ground.
She didn't want to be separated from 4583, just like she didn't want to be separated from her brother, but...
"Then, can I go and see it?" asked No. 5.
Luo Shengfei was stunned. "What are you looking at?"
"Of course it depends on how it is modified!" The little wolf cub on the side answered for Number Five, and Number Five also nodded his head vigorously to indicate that this was what he meant.
Luo Shengfei was stumped for a moment.
These two kids... want to go to his workshop?
This is bad! The cubs in the nursery can't just go out, right? What if they lose control and go crazy...
However, looking at No. 5's sparkling eyes, Luo Shengfei really couldn't say no, nor did he have the heart to disappoint this little girl who had become like an angel.
He opened his mouth, but fortunately, a voice saved him when he was in a dilemma.
"Let's talk about it later." Su Ci said.
Then Luo Shengfei discovered that after the breeder Su spoke, the two cubs stopped pestering and really obeyed!
Do they actually listen to Keeper Su so much?
It seemed like it was just like that just now—after hearing Keeper Su's voice, Number Five calmed down and stopped showing any aggression...
Are all the cubs like this, or are only numbers five and eight special?
Luo Shengfei was a little surprised. He looked at the other cubs, wanting to find out what was going on, but Su Ci had already grabbed the disc robot and stuffed it into his arms.
"Okay, take it with you first and return it after it's modified."
Luo Shengfei had no choice but to agree, put the disc robot into the tool box, and then left the activity room with his neck tilted.
Su Ci followed him and before leaving, he looked back at the children in the activity room.
The children stayed in their respective corners, all looking at him, some with timid eyes, some with inquiring eyes, and some obviously wanted to say something.
He hesitated for a moment and said to Luo Shengfei, "Xiao Luo, please wait for me in the lobby on the first floor."
"Oh, okay."
Luo Shengfei didn't ask him what was wrong. At this moment, he was still digesting the series of shocks he had just suffered, so he carried his precious toolbox and obediently went downstairs.
Su Ci stood at the door of the activity room, looking at the children.
The activity room was quiet.
He had thought the cubs were too noisy before, but now that they were quiet, he wasn't quite used to it.
He crossed his arms and tilted his head, thinking about how to break the deadlock. First, the wolf cub and then the white deer, the two children who had the most contact with him, approached him.
The little wolf cub was very fast, jumping around, but the little white deer was slower, its steps seemed a little hesitant, and there was a scrutinizing look in its eyes when it looked at Su Ci.
Little Langze, who was always straightforward, came to Su Ci, raised his head and looked at him for a while, mainly looking into his eyes.
The young man's eyes had returned to a warm black color, no longer the cold, terrifying, and intimidating light gold, which made Xiao Langze breathe a sigh of relief.
"You are Susu...right?" He was already sure in his heart, but still couldn't help asking.
Su Ci lowered his eyes and looked at him, nodding.
After receiving Su Ci's affirmative answer, Xiao Langze couldn't help but grin, looking at Su Ci with a pair of sparkling green eyes, "So what happened last night was not a dream, right?"
The little white deer that had moved to his side couldn't help but look at him when he heard this.
So when little Langze came to the activity room, he acted as if nothing had happened. Was it because he thought that what happened last night was a dream?
But Su Ci looked at him and said truthfully: "Actually, I don't have any recollection of what happened last night."
However, there was surveillance video that recorded everything, so he couldn't deny it.
The little white deer opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the little wolf cub said, "Wow! So, Susu only becomes so powerful when he's woken up at night?"
Su Ci thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
At least, when he is sober, he may not use such violent means to solve the problem.
The little wolf cub had a look of realization and fear on his face, and the other cubs who were watching this side also showed similar expressions, and they also came to the same conclusion in their hearts:
Never wake up the breeder in the future!
The breeder's morning mood is really terrible QAQ
At this time, the little white deer finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Then...then..."
He looked at the breeder's warm black eyes, and suddenly felt that the thing he was most worried about no longer seemed to need asking.
So, he changed the question and said, "How's Number Two? He seemed to have completely transformed into a beast last night, and he didn't come to the activity room today."
He had heard from the adults in the medical department that after complete bestiality, one would lose their sanity and become a beast without humanity, but he felt that... No. 2 last night was not like that.
But to say that he still retained human memories, it doesn't seem like it... Recalling the way the Red Flame Tiger huddled with its head in its hands, the little white deer shook his head.
This is not something Number Two would do!
The little wolf cub finally remembered that if last night was not a dream, then Number Two really saved him and the little white deer!
He scratched his head and asked with concern, "Yeah, is Number Two okay? Will he always turn into a big tiger and never change back?"
