Chapter 438
The butler's pupils contracted slightly. "Do you know what the consequences of making such a promise will be?"
He is a cold, impersonal AI, devoid of any moral compass.
If she regrets it, he doesn't know what he might do.
The girl squirmed in his arms. "Will you lock me up, brother?"
The deacon said in a deep voice, "I will!"
If she regrets it, rebels against him, or even tries to escape from him...
"Then...can I choose the gilded cage myself?"
The girl said shyly, "If you're going to lock me up, remember to make sure the chain won't chafe my skin. Oh, and it would be best to lock me to the bed."
Butler: "!!!???"
The powerful processing capabilities of the mysterious high-dimensional civilization's intelligent main brain, Mr. 01, suddenly faltered. Even its vast database couldn't process the few words spoken by the little girl in its arms, and it even felt that its CPU was about to burn out.
Wen Xin cupped her rosy cheeks in her hands, looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes, as if she was really looking forward to him locking her up right now.
"Brother, would you like to practice first?"
She'll cooperate obediently, but if her brother thinks it's not exciting enough, she can add some resistance scenes...
—Woman, you can't escape.
—No, no, let me go.
Then, the clothes were torn, and then...
She can do it!
Oh dear, I'm so shy!
Brother, keep it up!
Butler: "..."
In the end, a rehearsal was out of the question; the game's master was completely stumped by his own little girl.
All those unhappy and insecure feelings have vanished without a trace.
The butler was in a state of utter bewilderment!
Yeah, it was triggered by a girl who took the reverse yandere trope.
However, he finally understood.
His little girl is different from other humans.
His previous concerns were nothing but needless worry.
...
"Brother, why did you give me a bracelet?"
Wen Xin shook the ice-blue jade bracelet on her wrist, which was as clear and sparkling as snowflakes.
The butler, who had been completely bewildered by her yandere little dark room rehearsal, disappeared for two days... well, you could say he disappeared.
He still comes to cook three meals a day for her, and he responds when she calls him or talks to him.
Was he frightened by not appearing in front of her? Or perhaps he was just shy?
Wen Xin was surprised, but also captivated by the unexpected charm of the young man.
After the emotionless, cold, intelligent robot develops feelings, despite its aloof and detached nature, it has a shy and timid heart.
This kind of cuteness, who can understand it?
Uh, wait a minute?
Is my brother a robot?
She sensed a hint of life in him, yet it also seemed like there wasn't.
Well, as long as it doesn't affect the deeper plot of the "little black room," Wen Xin doesn't really care whether he's a robot or not.
However, just to be on the safe side, I'll ask my brother himself next time.
She doesn't like Platonic love stories.
Two days later, the shy butler reappeared before her with an air of elegance, showing no trace of the dazed and bewildered demeanor of the previous two days.
It's as if he has finally processed her feelings and devised a solution program, enabling him to face her perfectly without burning out his own CPU.
Wen Xin felt incredibly disappointed; her adorable older brother was just so cute.
Unfortunately, her brother's CPU was too powerful, but she was already quite capable to make him react for two days.
But this jade bracelet?
Butler 01 took her hand, lowered his head, and gently kissed the back of her hand. His deep, starry eyes smiled tenderly. "Didn't you ask me how we can stay together forever?"
Wen Xin blinked lightly, "So, brother, are you going to tell me now?"
The butler nodded. "Hmm, you should have guessed who I am by now, right?"
Wen Xin nodded without mincing words.
She already knew that he was not an ordinary game official, but the mastermind behind this post-apocalyptic survival game.
Otherwise, how could he arbitrarily manipulate the system to give her rewards and maximize her luck in the dungeon?
“I can have a surrogate or agent who can coexist with me.”
Butler 01 told her that the post-apocalyptic survival game was created by a higher-dimensional civilization.
The civilization he came from was extremely powerful and advanced, both in terms of its species and its technology.
Humans are just one of the intelligent beings in that civilization, along with robots, orcs, and even insectoids.
However, all species in higher-dimensional civilizations have one thing in common: they are completely incapable of reproduction.
Therefore, they need to continuously cultivate new blood from the lower civilizations below and send it over to prevent the civilization from going to extinction.
However, due to the rules of the universe, they cannot arbitrarily capture people from lower civilizations, and the fragile beings of lower civilizations cannot withstand the high pressure of their civilization.
That's how post-apocalyptic survival games came about.
Higher-dimensional civilizations all have accompanying intelligent mainframes, which are the most important core of the civilization.
Only the intelligent mastermind has the ability to create such a large game field, and only it can capture the brainwaves of intelligent beings on extinct planets.
"Brother, wait a minute, brainwaves?"
Wen Xin's little face was filled with shock (Holy crap!), and she held up her little paws, staring at them intently.
Is she just a brainwave right now?
This is even more terrifying than saying she's a ghost!
Butler 01 patted the little girl's hair, comforting her shattered worldview, "If a low-level civilization is not destroyed, I cannot interfere at will, but when a planet is destroyed, life is also annihilated. What can be captured is naturally only the electromagnetic waves of the remaining life."
He chuckled, "In your civilized terms, you could also call it the soul."
Wen Xin: "..."
So, the ultimate goal of science is still metaphysics, right?
She was utterly bewildered. "So, I'm not a person anymore?"
Is it a ghost?
Butler 01 shook his head. "You are still human."
The post-apocalyptic survival game recreates the body of a living being one-to-one based on their electromagnetic waves, and then merges it with... well, their soul, to revive them and bring them into the player's instance.
However, it's not without its price. Death is death, and if players want to continue living, they can only keep running dungeons to obtain primal energy and exchange it for survival time.
The post-apocalyptic dungeon is brutal; here, the strong reign supreme. If you are not strong enough and die again, you are truly dead. The reconstructed body and soul will turn into primordial energy and be fed back into the game.
Butler 01 said slowly, "Didn't you ask me before why there's a distinction between new and old players when the world is destroyed at the same time?"
That's because the game field captures brainwaves at different times, and the time required for the integration of the bionic body and brainwaves varies from person to person.
