Chapter 082 Mechanical Core (6)
The etiquette of hospitality must not be lost, but Tao Xing himself was not familiar with the place and did not know where to turn.
Behind him, Tian Shuang said, "I have found suitable places for your Highness to meet, including gardens, studios, and exhibition halls. Where would you like to go?"
Tao Xing asked the people around him: "Where do you want to go?"
The little prince said, "Whatever."
Tao Xing turned around and said, "Whatever."
Tian Shuang was silent for a while: "Then can I push you to go in turn?"
"Okay."
The two men and the robot wandered around the exhibition hall of the garden studio one after another. They had little to say on the way and it was quite awkward, but it was just the right time to kill the day. In the evening, the emperor specifically instructed that the two princes should dine alone and not with them.
At the table in the palace, the waiters served the dishes one after another, and then left together. Before leaving, they called Tian Shuang and said, "Your Majesty, tell them to talk alone."
Tianshuang took the order and went out, closed the palace door and stood guard at the door.
The lights in the hall were dim, a long table was filled with delicious food, and soft music surrounded the two of them.
The two people sitting side by side were even more silent during the music.
Since there were no outsiders present, Tao Xing had something to say. He would certainly not agree to this marriage, but since it involved two empires, he had to be cautious. He planned to discuss it with the other party in private first.
He cleared his throat and looked around: "Prince Feihong..."
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and the person next to him stood up suddenly and took a step back: "Don't touch me."
Tao Xing: “???”
He raised his hand: "I didn't touch you."
"Then... don't call my name either." Fei Hong glared with his eyes wide open.
Tao Xing: “…”
Feihong pinched his sleeves, gritted his teeth, and suddenly pulled out a dagger and put it across his neck.
Tao Xing quickly straightened up and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Don't come over here!" Fei Hong said, holding up the dagger, "I won't marry you. I don't like you."
Tao Xing: “Ah?”
This... isn't this great?
He didn't need to bring it up; the other party brought it up on their own initiative.
He almost couldn't contain his joy: "Okay, no problem, put the knife down first, and let's talk it over."
"Who's going to tell you nicely, you pervert!"
"goat?"
"Humph, isn't that robot outside enough for you to play with? Why do you still want to come to me? You are an uneducated, useless, pervert. I will never be with you even if I die."
"Useless pervert?" Tao Xing stroked his eyebrows. How bad is your reputation!
But didn’t I just say “OK”? Why are you still scolding me?
"Okay." He raised his hand and emphasized, "It's okay not to get married. I don't want to..."
"No, why should I die by myself?" The little prince was so emotional that he didn't hear what he said at all. He suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Why should I wrong myself? It's obviously you who should die!"
"Ah?" What kind of logic is this? Do you have to let only one person die?
"Yes, it's you who deserves to die. I will kill you to rid the universe of this harm!" Fei Hong's eyes were red, and he rushed forward suddenly, with the tip of the knife pointing directly at Tao Xing's heart.
Tao Xing was in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving, so he couldn't retreat. Seeing the knife approaching, he grabbed a fork on the table in desperation, raised his hand to block it, and then turned it. The knife was clamped by the fork and could not move.
"Calm down." Tao Xing said, "If you kill me today, it will definitely provoke a war between the two empires. Don't you understand?"
"I don't care!" Fei Hong swung the dagger frantically, "Today, either you die or I die."
The iron fork was not as hard as the dagger and soon it deformed. Feihong pulled out the dagger, took a step back, and stabbed again.
This time Tao Xing was prepared. He turned his wheelchair in advance, faced him sideways, leaned back, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and squeezed hard. The dagger fell from his hand, making a crisp sound on the ground.
Fei Hong was stunned for a moment, a look of despair flashed across his face, and he stretched out his hands angrily: "I will fight you!"
He was "baring his teeth and claws", Tao Xing was holding his wrists, so he couldn't push hard. In the stalemate, he had to call for help: "Tian Shuang."
The robot immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
"Pull him away."
"Yes." Tianshuang walked over quickly, pulled Feihong up and dragged him to the corner. The little prince kept struggling, and he stretched out his hands to block the wall to restrict his movements.
The little prince couldn't get out, so he grabbed his hand and cursed.
Tao Xing shook his head, rubbed his wrist, and said nothing, waiting for the little prince to shut up.
He has made it so clear, but the other party still won't give in. Who doesn't have a temper?
Amidst the cursing, there were some tapping sounds. Tao Xing paused and looked in the direction of the sound.
[Alert, alert: the chip may be taken away.]
Uh...his garbled code has finally been debugged and he has finally responded.
[Solution: Prevent marriage.]
Tao Xing smiled secretly, do you need to stop this marriage?
However, he actually wanted to see how Tianshuang was going to stop it.
[Possible solution: Provoke a war between the two empires.]
"Hmm?" Tao Xing raised his eyes.
No, there are so many methods, why do you have to choose this one?
[Risk Analysis: The ultimate goal is to destroy humanity. Before the man-machine war, it is a good idea to let humans kill each other. The more wars humans fight among themselves, the more people will die, and the greater the chances of winning the man-machine war.
Temporary goal activated: Provoke a war among humans.]
Tianshuang's eyes flickered.
Tao Xing's eyes also flickered: "Just like that... there is one more goal every minute."
080: "Yeah, he finally cancelled the plan to hurt you, and now a big one comes."
He had been standing at the door and could hear the conversation in the room. He might not have known that the two people did not like each other and the marriage would never take place. However, in his analysis, provoking a war would definitely help achieve his ultimate goal, so this was the preferred option and was soon determined as a temporary goal.
See the handwriting change again.
['If you kill me today, you will definitely start a war between the two empires. Don't you understand?' Translation: To start a war, kill him first.]
His gaze suddenly turned to Tao Xing.
Tao Xing was completely stunned.
After all the analysis, it's going to cost me my life in the end, right?
Tao Xing's eyes were slightly stern as he looked at Tian Shuang.
There is no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness in the robot's eyes, and no emotion can be detected at all.
The little prince was still struggling. The robot turned its eyes away and no longer looked at Tao Xing. Its hand moved imperceptibly, and the music suddenly changed its tune. The lights in the room flickered slightly.
He is trying to connect the smart appliances in this house.
The music slowed down, lengthened, made a few staccato sounds, and suddenly returned to its original tune.
Tianshuang's hand trembled, and the connection failed. The butler system restricted his connection.
He put his hands behind his back and tilted his head slightly.
[The pendant lamp circuit may interfere. Warning: This method is risky. The circuit may also interfere with the machine motherboard. Do not use it rashly.]
Tao Xing raised her eyes and saw that she was sitting under the huge glass chandelier.
"I will kill you!" Because of the distraction of the robot, the clamped Prince Feihong suddenly struggled out, and due to inertia, rushed forward again.
At the same time, there was a loud "bang" above my head!
The glass chandelier exploded.
The glass scattered everywhere, and the huge lampshade with glass shards fell off with a "crack".
At this moment, Prince Feihong rushed in front of Tao Xing.
Tao Xing's brows furrowed, and he pulled Fei Hong over, and slammed the edge of the table with his other hand with lightning speed.
The wheelchair quickly moved to the side under this powerful force, and after sliding for a few meters, it fell due to unstable center of gravity. Just as it fell to the ground, there was a "bang" and the lampshade fell to the ground, hitting where they had just been. Glass beads and glass fragments rolled all over the ground, and the huge lampshade pierced into the floor fiercely.
Amid the hustle and bustle, Feihong was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He was already emotional, and after this fright, his body was trembling. He struggled to stand up, but before he could get up, his eyes suddenly went dark and he passed out.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" The waiters heard the noise and rushed over, standing guard outside the door. "What happened?"
"It's nothing, don't come in, close the door." Tao Xing's tone was sharp. She stood up with the help of the wheelchair and looked down at the little prince. He just fainted, it was nothing serious, he would wake up soon.
He looked forward, where Tianshuang's body was also trembling.
He was not frightened, of course; the electric current also interfered with his motherboard. At this moment, his circuits were disordered and running wildly in his body.
What kind of feeling was that? He had the sense of human touch, and that feeling was like countless tiny sharp knives rushing through his body, cutting up his flesh and bones, his internal organs, all into pieces.
Tianshuang raised his eyes while trembling, and met the stern and angry gaze.
Tao Xing was very angry. He didn't expect Tian Shuang would really take his life without hesitation.
080 clearly felt the host's violent emotional fluctuations and said helplessly: "He is a robot. You can't expect him to have emotions."
"Yes." Tao Xing said expressionlessly, turning his wheelchair slowly forward.
The chandelier exploded, and the wires fell off and lay on the ground. The connector at the other end was entangled with Tianshuang's fingers.
The wheelchair ran over the circuit and Tianshuang shook violently. Even though he was a robot, he couldn't help but reveal an unbearable look. He covered his heart with his hands trembling.
Tao Xing moved closer step by step.
Tianshuang pressed close to the wall.
When it was in front of him, very close, Tao Xing looked at the robot, still with no expression.
He lifted his foot and tapped the line on the ground. His leg injury had not healed yet, making it difficult for him to walk, but he was not unable to move.
Tianshuang shuddered again, her lips trembled, and a slight sound came from her throat.
Tao Xing moved her feet.
The robot groaned softly and fell to its knees.
Tao Xing's gaze changed from looking up to looking down, and she looked at him calmly: "If I want to increase your pain parameters now, will you obey?"
Tianshuang was shaking even more violently. He held the wheelchair with his hands and opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Tao Xing raised his head and hooked his feet back.
The wires that were wrapped around Tianshuang were pulled out instantly, and the pain disappeared in an instant.
He did not increase the parameters, but instead saved him. Tianshuang was gasping for breath. The disordered circuit had not been repaired yet, and he could not stand up for a while. It was as if his tense body suddenly relaxed. He could not even maintain the kneeling posture and fell directly to the ground.
There was a faint red light flashing in his eyes, and the circuits in his body were recovering, but he just lay there, unable to move or speak.
Tao Xing lowered his eyebrows and said, "You want to kill me, I'll give you a chance. When your circuit is repaired, I'll give you the authority to connect to all the smart devices in this room. You kill me well."
Tianshuang turned her eyes and stared at him blankly through a strand of silver hair covering her face.
After an unknown amount of time, the circuit was repaired and his energy was restored. He stood up and straightened his clothes and hair. No matter how messy he looked just now, in the blink of an eye he was spotless again, and his hair was not the slightest bit messy.
Tao Xing gave him the authority as promised, then tore off a corner of his clothes, folded it and covered his eyes with it.
080 puzzled: "What is the host doing?"
"I don't care what he thinks, and I don't need you to tell me." Tao Xing said, raising his hand, "Let's start."
A few lines of garbled characters flashed across Tianshuang's head, and then he slowly clenched his hands.
The music was stretched out, the sound changed from low to sharp, and a buzzing sound came from all directions.
Tao Xing sat at the table, picked up a fork and tapped it casually.
Feeling a burning sensation on his hand, he tilted his head, hooked his fork, and quickly untied the bracelet. As soon as the bracelet was placed on the table, it shrank to the size of a finger with a "snap".
There were two "ding-dong" sounds, and a lamp fell on the table. He raised the fork and inserted it directly into the two bulbs. The table lamp shattered and the lampshade bounced back and forth on the table.
"Click, click", the refrigerator door opened and closed. Tao Xing grabbed the jumping lampshade and threw it into the refrigerator. The door closed with a bang, and the lampshade bounced inside with a crackling sound.
The floor sweeping robot spun rapidly and flew towards him like a blood drop. Tao Xing raised his fork, and the "blood drop" got stuck on it, spun wildly for a few circles, and then was thrown out with a "bang", hitting the wall and breaking into several pieces.
Another curtain was "sneakily" wrapped around his neck. He turned sideways and pulled it, and the shelf above it was torn down and broke into several pieces.
The wheelchair turned with a "creaky" sound, carrying him around and moving quickly.
Tao Xing sat in a wheelchair, and used the speed to fork away various machines on both sides. When he reached the destination, he pressed the fork hard and stuck it into the wheel.
His forward movement suddenly stopped, and suddenly a gust of wind blew across his face, causing his hair to move slightly.
He suddenly raised his hand and grasped the wrist in front of him.
Not far away, there were a few faint whispers. Prince Feihong opened his eyes dazedly: "Where am I?"
Tao Xing untied the blindfold, pushed away the dagger that was almost touching his forehead, and looked at the robot in front of him: "Time is up, the experience is over."
Then, he turned his hand and the dagger fell.
Because of this force, Tianshuang's arms bent and his body knelt down involuntarily. He didn't know if the circuit was damaged again or what, but he felt a little trembling, and several "alarms" appeared above his head.
Tao Xing ignored him and stopped looking at what he said. She turned to face the little prince who had just woken up and asked, "Are you okay?"
The little prince sat up and looked around in a daze. He was startled again when he saw the mess in the room and recalled the scene before he fainted: "The lamp fell down."
"yes."
"You..." The little prince pursed his lips, "You saved me, um, thank you." He patted his clothes, "I, I won't kill you."
Tao Xing said, "If you don't want to marry me, just say so. It's okay. I agree."
The little prince looked up: "Do you agree?"
"Yes, I agree. I don't want to marry you either."
