Chapter 083 Mechanical Core (7)
The little prince seemed to be unresponsive and was stunned for a moment: "Okay, but...how do I tell them?"
"I think... it's okay to just say it directly." Tao Xing said.
"I don't dare."
"Then let me say, you just go with me."
After the conversation was settled, the two of them went out to look for everyone.
Passing by where Tianshuang was kneeling, Tao Xing looked at him again: "Should you push me?"
Tian Shuang was stunned for a moment before he stood up and put his hand on the wheelchair: "Yes."
080 worried: "Host, aren't you afraid that he will find another chance to kill you?"
"He knows he can't kill him, so he won't do it." Tao Xing's voice was low and his face expressionless.
We didn't hear Tianshuang's inner thoughts along the way. He seemed to be silent both on the surface and in his heart.
When he was almost at the main hall, a few words slowly appeared above his head:
[Alarm cleared, no need to protect yourself.
Motivation for analysis: unknown.]
He didn't continue the analysis this time. Perhaps he couldn't figure it out, so he gave up.
Tao Xing and Prince Feihong arrived at the main hall. He explained the situation to the emperor and the envoy, saying that they had no such intentions towards each other and hoped to cancel the engagement without affecting the friendly relations between the empires.
Everyone was naturally shocked, but seeing Tao Xing's sincere words, they also realized that this marriage was not necessarily a must, but the two sides just wanted to get closer, and it happened that the two princes both liked men, so they hit it off and decided on it.
Since they were unwilling, lifting the ban wouldn't have much impact. The envoy immediately asked the emperor for instructions, and the emperor said there was no problem.
So the matter of breaking off the engagement was resolved in this way.
Tao Xing thanked everyone. Prince Feihong was watching him speak from the side. Seeing the slightly raised corners of his mouth, he was stunned for a moment. After a while, he withdrew his gaze in disappointment and pursed his lips slightly.
In the following days, although the engagement was cancelled, the empire still treated Prince Feihong well and took him to visit various scenic spots. However, Tao Xing didn't need to accompany him now because his leg injury had not healed yet, so he was not allowed to go out.
Regarding the incident that day when the chandelier in the side hall exploded and fell, various electrical appliances in the room were scrapped, and Tao Xing's bracelet and wheelchair were damaged, he just said that it was caused by practicing martial arts with Tian Shuang. Anyway, no one dared to ask in detail.
Tianshuang still fulfills his duties as a housekeeper, and 080 is still very worried because Tianshuang's goal of killing the host has not been cancelled, and he will definitely do it again.
"It seems that this parameter is difficult to change this time." 080 said.
But Tao Xing was not worried at all: "He killed me to provoke a war between the two empires. Prince Feihong must be present to pin the blame on him. Otherwise, what's the point of killing me? Now that I'm not with the prince, he won't take action."
"Oh." 080 was relieved. "I said he wouldn't change his mind. If he wants to challenge, all he needs to do is die in this empire."
Tao Xing said: "You are quite flexible."
080 immediately shut up, and after a while he whispered, "I have human-like thinking, and my thoughts are basically the same as humans. This... is not difficult to think of."
Tao Xing laughed. It was late at night and the lights were dim. He turned around to look at the robot beside him that was sleeping with its eyes closed.
A few days later, Feihong was about to go back, and the emperor specifically instructed that Tao Xing should send him off in person. Although the engagement was dissolved peacefully, he still had to go to the emperor's house to apologize.
Early in the morning, Tao Xing changed into formal clothes and boarded the aircraft.
Small aircraft are usually autopiloted, with two seats for the pilot and the co-pilot. They are highly flexible and usually one person per aircraft. However, Tao Xing has difficulty with his legs, so the emperor ordered Tian Shuang to accompany him.
Tian Shuang sat in the cockpit, with Tao Xing beside him. Their aircraft took the lead, followed by Prince Fei Hong, and then the accompanying subordinates lined up in a fan shape at the back.
The mighty team set off, leaving the empire and traveling through the vast universe, with the brilliant stars flowing before their eyes.
080 was extremely anxious. When the emperor ordered Tianshuang to accompany him, it told the host: "This is an opportunity for Tianshuang. You are here, the little prince is here, and he is sitting in the cockpit. It is too easy for him to control the aircraft. Host, you can't let him go."
Tao Xing remained silent. By this time, they had already set off and it was too late to say anything. 080 could only sigh and stare at Tianshuang's head for a long time. The robot didn't seem to think about anything.
But not all of his inner thoughts can be seen. I think those plans had been thought out before he came up, so there is no need to start analyzing them now.
There was silence inside the aircraft, and most of the journey had already been completed.
Tianshuang blinked.
Tao Xing's eyes moved slightly and looked at his hand.
The aircraft stopped suddenly.
Such a pause, without any prior signal, would cause the speed of space travel, and the rear would have no time to react.
With a "bang", the two aircraft collided violently.
Amidst a deafening roar, sparks flew, mechanical debris flew, the cabin shattered, and the aircraft overturned.
Tianshuang turned around and met the gaze of the person next to him.
There was a loud noise in my ears, but the cabin seemed to be silenced.
Huge parts came crashing down from outside, shattering the glass beside Tao Xing's ears with a loud bang. Then, the side hatch fell off, and Tao Xing's body floated up and out of the cabin. Broken glass and various parts slid across his face.
In the midst of this chaos, he still stared at the robot in the cabin.
The robot's eyes flickered.
Amid the messy debris, a bracelet flew up and fell down.
Tianshuang's expression changed.
That was Prince Feihong's bracelet. The bracelet had functions such as monitoring the owner's vital signs. It would generally not fall off unless there were special circumstances. The special situation in this case was that the owner took it off himself.
The little prince was not on the aircraft at the back. In the self-driving aircraft, there was only a wristband transmitting a life signal.
He did not take the aircraft, and took off the bracelet before departure and quietly left it inside. Why?
It was obvious that they knew this trip would go wrong.
Tianshuang looked at the man outside and saw Tao Xing press his wrist, and a layer of iron armor gradually covered his body.
Black iron armor with gold borders, and a mask gradually grew on the surface, blocking the man's face. Only a pair of eyes were revealed, flashing a cold light.
When the stealth armor is not activated, it is in the shape of a soft mesh and cannot be seen when worn outside clothes. When it is activated, parts pop out from the mesh and can be assembled quickly.
The black gold armor is the highest level equipment in combat and is indestructible. The energy device inside it can also enable humans to travel in the universe, and its movement speed is no slower than that of an aircraft.
From behind him, a well-preserved aircraft slowly approached. The little Prince Feihong raised his head through the window and looked out nervously.
Tianshuang turned his head.
The controller of the broken aircraft was damaged and it was drifting, and would soon drift out of the route.
After drifting out of range, it will either be torn into pieces by the attraction forces between those undeveloped planets, or float in the darkness of the universe, never to rest and with no place to return.
[Urgent goal: self-protection.
Plan: Leave the aircraft immediately.]
He pressed the button to open the cockpit, and his body separated from the cockpit. Just as he was about to go out, there was a "boom" and the cockpit suddenly exploded.
His legs were unexpectedly pressed against the driver's seat. The robot's expression showed no emotion, but the pain reaction still made him cry out in pain.
He can't get out.
[Alert, alert, unable to leave the aircraft, urgently looking for a self-protection plan, urgently looking for a self-protection plan!]
A black shadow slowly descended, and landed on the edge of the aircraft among the debris in the sky. The eyes under the mask were stern and cold.
Tian Shuang raised his eyes with difficulty and reached out to grab Tao Xing's leg: "Your Highness, please save me."
His electric current may have been damaged, and his voice was trembling: "I don't dare anymore."
Tao Xing lowered his eyebrows and took a step back.
The robot stretched out its arm and touched his boots with its fingertips. "Please, I really don't dare."
Tao Xing didn't move, just stared at him silently.
Slowly, he heard some clicking sounds.
[Self-protection plan: Give up provoking a war with humans and give up killing him.
Plan confirmed: temporary goal, abandoned. ]
080 said quickly: "Great, he has changed. Host, you..."
The system's voice became quieter, and it looked cautiously into the host's deep eyes.
The robot struggled forward desperately and hugged Tao Xing's legs again: "Please."
Tao Xing slowly leaned over and lifted Tian Shuang's chin: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."
"I don't dare anymore, please save me."
"The wind was too strong, so I still couldn't hear clearly."
Tian Shuang rubbed his hand lightly on her face: "I don't dare anymore, please save me."
Tao Xing let go of him, stood up, tiptoed to the side of the cockpit, and punched the control panel. The panel made a hissing sound, and the indicator lights flickered. Hearing a "click", he turned around, lifted up the cabin door that was pressing on Tian Shuang, and dragged him out.
The aircraft drifted towards the depths of the universe, the misty galaxy flowed slowly, Tao Xing hugged Tian Shuang, and slowly returned in the galaxy.
The entourage rushed over in flying vehicles, and Prince Feihong was terrified.
Before setting off, Tao Xing told him that for safety reasons, she hoped he could change to another aircraft, and asked for his bracelet to be placed in the empty aircraft. Although he did not understand, Tao Xing's awe-inspiring look at the time made the little prince tremble in his heart, and he agreed in a daze.
Unexpectedly, something really happened on the road. He was frightened, but fortunately he listened to his instructions. The little prince looked at Tao Xing, his heart still pounding.
This location was very close to the Feihong Empire. Upon hearing the noise, they immediately sent a spaceship over, and the group quickly arrived at the main planet of the empire.
Tianshuang was out of danger. After the circuit was repaired, the pain in his body had disappeared, but his disheveled appearance had not yet been completely restored. His hair was disheveled and there were a few gray marks on his face.
He followed Tao Xing and bowed to the emperor with him. He helped Tao Xing to sit down, and when the work was done, he helped him onto the aircraft and took him back.
During this time he said nothing, because his master had not spoken to him.
After returning to the Great Tao Empire, Tao Xing was pushed to the palace to report to the emperor.
The emperor was also aware of the aircraft collision and sent people to investigate the cause, but there was no clue. All that could be seen was that the aircraft was out of control.
"The probability of the aircraft losing control is very small." The emperor pondered for a long time, then slowly raised his eyes, "Could it be Tianshuang... Regardless of whether it is him or not, it is better to kill him by mistake than to let him go. He is just a robot. I think we should destroy him."
