Chapter 72
Xiao Langze stood there in a daze, and No. 5 couldn't pull him. When she wanted to snatch the disc robot back and run away, it was too late.
Luo Shengfei strode to Xiao Langze and recognized at a glance that this was the sweeping robot he had modified.
"So it's 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 didn't he take any protective measures and was ready to take things back from the little monster?
What's the difference between this and risking his 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 imagined, but No. 5 who was holding the boy next to him. She suddenly let go of No. 8, then grabbed his hand and bit it hard.
Luo Shengfei looked at the bloody marks on the back of his hand, gasped, and quickly stepped back.
Then he saw that No. 5, who always had a relatively calm personality and was considered to be easier to talk to among the cubs, opened his hands to protect No. 8, and stared at him with a pair of cute eyes full of anger and hatred.
The little girl bared her teeth at him, her flax-colored 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, with sweat dripping down his forehead.
What's going on? Is Number Five going berserk?
"Number Five, calm down..."
Luo Shengfei couldn't help but panic. He was just an ordinary person without superpowers. It was not easy to control the berserk cub, not to mention that his neck was still crooked.
At this moment, he heard footsteps behind him.
It was Su Ci!
Luo Shengfei was about to remind him not to come over and to call the action team when he heard the gentle and peaceful voice of the young man: "Number Five."
He called the little girl.
Luo Shengfei widened his eyes in surprise.
Because his neck could not turn and he had to be on guard against the attack of Number Five, he kept staring at the little girl's expression, and thus, he saw the change of Number Five with his own eyes.
After the keeper called her, the little girl, who had been baring her teeth and claws and ready to pounce on him at any time, was suddenly stunned, and then began to shrink back.
The beast ears on her head drooped wilfully, which was generally a sign of fear and timidity.
Although no one hit or scolded her, the little girl suddenly clenched her lips, and tears began to accumulate in her brown eyes.
The ferocious little lion just now turned into a pitiful little crybaby in the blink of an eye.
Luo Shengfei:?!
What is Number Five doing? Why does he have 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, looking at the little girl who had just lost her temper at Luo Shengfei and was now scared and started to cry, and couldn't help but look thoughtful. The
young man just looked at him calmly, but it had already caused great 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 shiver uncontrollably.
However, she had something she wanted to protect.
"You! Don't hurt 4583!"
She finally overcame her fear, mustered up her courage, and used her ability on Su Ci and Luo Shengfei. However, as soon as she said this, 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 controlled, he just looked at No. 5, slightly dazed.
At this time, the warm and honest voice of 4583 rang again.
"Don't cry, dear baby. Robots won't be hurt. 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 and glared at the disc robot fiercely, "You can't always be with me. Robots will get hurt, die, and disappear forever... I don't want this to happen again!"
She yelled at 4583 fiercely, but 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, who was originally reorganizing his worldview because of a terrible fact, came to his senses when he heard her sobbing.
Why is Number Five crying again!
Little Langze almost subconsciously raised his head and looked at the keeper, looking for help.
When the calm and indifferent handsome face of the young man came into view, he once again appeared clearly in the little wolf cub's mind in the "dream" last night.
His heart couldn't help but jump, and he recalled the worries of last night again.
Su Su... will he change back? Will he still teach him to play the flute, and will he still be his support when he asks for help?
The little wolf cub looked at Su Ci with changing emotions, and in the end, he became as pitiful as No. 5, 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 children.
However, if he hadn't watched the surveillance video, he really didn't remember what he did last night.
He thought for a moment and took the metal disc from Xiao Langze.
No. 5 was sobbing and seeing this, she couldn't help but feel anxious. She quickly stretched out her hands, but in the end, just like last night, she didn't dare to step forward to snatch it.
She had just used her power on the keeper again, and she had used up all her courage. In the eyes of the young girl, the keeper was like an insurmountable mountain, pressing down on her head and making her feel breathless.
However, under her desperate gaze, the keeper took the metal disc and gently put it back on the ground.
The nanny robot couldn't read 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 keeper squatting in front of her, his eyes, which had turned back to dark and deep, looked back at her calmly, just like when she first saw him, gentle and harmless.
"Xiao Luo will not harm the robot." Su Ci said, "In fact, he was the one who repaired No. 4583."
No. 5 was stunned.
No. 4583... was repaired by this "murderer"?
She looked at Su Ci, and 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 ignore the ears on her head and the tail behind her, she looks like an ordinary cub.
Where has Luo Shengfei ever seen a cub in the nursery show this side?
Moreover, it was the first time he saw No. 5's maintenance of the robot nanny. To be honest, this shocked him and moved him indescribably.
As a maintenance worker who deals with machines all day, Luo Shengfei naturally has a special feeling for machines. When he sees machines being damaged, he often feels sorry and heartbroken, so he feels that he can understand No. 5's feelings. This realization has
somewhat broken his past perception of the cubs in the brooding house.
Although he often goes to the brooding house due to work requirements and has more opportunities to deal with the cubs, Luo Shengfei does not think that these cubs are too different from the little monsters in the legend.
He has tried his best to face them with a normal heart. However, just now, when facing No. 8 and No. 5 alone, he still couldn't help feeling scared. He still regarded them as little monsters that would go crazy and attack him at any time...
However, No. 5's protection of 4583 made him reflect.
He looked away from No. 5, looked at No. 8 with a happy expression on his face, and then looked at the other cubs who were watching this side quietly.
Luo Shengfei suddenly felt that these cubs were very strange.
Or maybe, he had never really understood them before.
At least, what he just saw from No. 5, the youngest child, was not only destructive and aggressive. She was so young, but 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 trade him three cans of beef and commission him to repair No. 4583.
Luo Shengfei was filled with emotion.
He didn't expect that the newly recruited breeder was really good at it!
He looked at the little girl and tried to communicate with her calmly: "Yes, I repaired 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 a machine is absolutely something I hate!"
Number Five looked at Luo Shengfei, but there was still doubt in his eyes, "That day... 4583 hadn't 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 carefully and vaguely understood what Number Five meant by "he killed 4583".
"Ah... that was forcing the robot to go into hibernation, as a kind of protection." He scratched his hair, "At that time, its whole body fell apart. If the power supply was not cut off in time, it might be damaged 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 obviously just a child of a few years old, but he had thought so much! He also reminded himself again that he had to be more careful in front of these cubs in the future.
"Let me show you."
He stretched out his hand and turned off the switch on the top of the disc robot. The induction light on the top of the disc robot went out immediately, and the whole robot stopped moving.
Seeing that No. 5's face turned pale, Luo Shengfei quickly pressed the switch again, and the disc robot started again.
"Look, when the energy is turned off, the robot is just temporarily in a dormant state. When the energy is connected, it can move again. As long as the core is not damaged, it can continue to be used after replacing the body."
And No. 4583 also very cooperatively circled around No. 5, "My dear, look, I'm still fine, I just fell asleep."
No. 5 finally believed Luo Shengfei's words.
"So that's it..."
"Yes, that's it!" Luo Shengfei looked at No. 5, and then at the disc robot circling around her, and more new ideas came to his mind.
He originally just accepted the commission of Su the breeder.
Because Su Ci did not have any specific requirements, he just wanted to repair No. 4583, so he mainly modified No. 4583 from the perspective of practicality.
However, now watching the interaction between the robot and No. 5, he suddenly felt that he could actually do better...
At this time, after listening to the conversation between the two and knowing what happened, Xiao Langze looked at the keeper next to him, and then looked at No. 5 and the maintenance worker.
He suddenly pulled No. 5 aside.
The boy lowered his head and whispered a few words in the little girl's ear.
I don't know 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.
In the end, 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 to Luo Shengfei happened.
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 voice and saw the little girl raising her head. Her round brown eyes were no longer filled with hatred and anger.
Number Five was also looking at Luo Shengfei.
Just now, it was Number Eight who asked her to thank him, and he also said that the keepers liked polite children.
She couldn't help but pinch her fingers.
He helped fix 4583, so she should thank him, and...she had misunderstood him before and thought he was a bad guy, and she 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:? ?
What does Xiao Luo mean? He thought of something, and couldn't help but hold his neck, looking at Su Ci on the side with some resentment.
Number Five must have learned it from him!
Luo Shengfei was about to correct Number Five, but the voice of the little wolf cub rang out: "Hahaha, Number Five you are great! I didn't even teach you, but you apologized to Xiao Luotu. Number Four will definitely praise you when she knows."
Luo Shengfei:...
Forget about Xiao Luo, but what the hell is Xiao Luotu?
He wanted to correct the two little guys, but the little wolf was already looking at him and asked, "Can you help 4583 with the final modification? If 4583 breaks down in the future, can I still ask you to fix it?"
Hearing the little wolf's words, No. 5's eyes lit up immediately.
She looked at Luo Shengfei eagerly and whispered, "There's... there's 4586..."
The little wolf moved his ears, and after hearing her words, he repeated loudly for her, "Oh, and there's 4586! If it breaks down in the future, can I still ask you to fix it?"
The young man looked at Luo Shengfei with a pair of lively green eyes full of expectation, which made Luo Shengfei forget what he was going to say just now. The only thing left in his mind was:
Shit! That grumpy little wolf who always called himself "Grandpa" was actually smiling at him!
He nodded dazedly, "Of course, this is my duty."
"Great!"
The little wolf cub cheered and said to No. 5 with a smile, "Look, Little Camel has agreed. If the nanny robot breaks down in the future, you can find him. Don't be sad!"
No. 5 nodded. Perhaps influenced by the little wolf cub, she couldn't help but smile, looking very cute.
The little girl looked at Luo Shengfei and said crisply in her soft and cute little voice again: "Thank you, Little Camel!"
Luo Shengfei:...
How come even No. 5 calls him like this! He was still Little Camel just now!
He opened his mouth, but it was rare to see two children so peaceful, so well-behaved and cute, and he couldn't bear to correct them for a moment.
Well, let's just call it a little camel, it sounds quite friendly.
"Then I'll take No. 4583 back first, and send it back to you after it's modified." Luo Shengfei said.
No. 5, who was originally very happy, suddenly restrained the smile on her face. She looked at him hesitantly, and then at the disc robot on the ground.
She didn't want to be separated from No. 4583, just like she didn't want to be separated from her brother, but...
"Then, can I go and see?" No. 5 asked.
Luo Shengfei was stunned, "What to see?"
"Of course, to see how to modify it!" The little wolf cub on the side had already answered for No. 5, and No. 5 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?
That's not good! The cubs in the brooding house can't go out casually, right? What if they can't control themselves and go crazy...
However, looking at No. 5's sparkling eyes, Luo Shengfei couldn't say no, and he didn't 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 found that after the breeder Su spoke, the two cubs didn't bother to argue anymore, and really agreed obediently!
Do they listen to the breeder Su so much?
It seemed to be the same just now - when No. 5 heard the voice of the keeper Su, he calmed down and stopped showing aggression...
Are all the cubs like this, or are No. 5 and No. 8 special?
Luo Shengfei was a little surprised. He looked at the other cubs and wanted 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 away first, and return it after the modification."
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 behind him, and before leaving, he looked back at the children in the activity room.
The children stayed in their own 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, you go to the first floor lobby and wait for me."
"Oh, okay."
Luo Shengfei didn't ask him what was the matter. At this moment, he was still digesting the series of shocks he had just received, so he carried his baby tool box and went downstairs obediently.
Su Ci stood at the door of the activity room, looking at the children. The
activity room was quiet.
He thought these cubs were too noisy before, but now they have calmed down, and he is not used to it.
He crossed his arms and tilted his head to think 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 wolf cub was very fast, jumping and hopping, while the white deer was slower, and its steps looked a little hesitant, and there was also scrutiny in its eyes when it looked at Su Ci.
Xiao Langze, who was always straightforward, came in front of Su Ci, tilted his head and looked at him for a while, mainly looking into his eyes.
The young man's eyes had returned to their warm black color, no longer the cold, terrifying light gold color, which made Xiao Langze breathe a sigh of relief.
"You are Su Su...right?" He was certain in his heart, but he still couldn't help asking.
Su Ci looked down at him and nodded.
After getting 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 who had moved to his side couldn't help but glance at him when he heard it.
So when Xiao Langze came to the activity room, he was like nothing happened, because he thought what happened last night was a dream?
Su Ci looked at him and said truthfully, "Actually, I don't have any recollection of what happened last night."
But there was a surveillance video recording everything, so he couldn't deny it.
The little white deer opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard the little wolf cub say, "Wow! So, Su Su only becomes so powerful when he is woken up at night?"
Su Ci thought for a moment and said, "That's right."
At least, when he is awake, he may not use such a violent method to solve the problem.
The little wolf cub looked surprised and scared, and the other cubs who were paying attention to this side also showed similar expressions, and they also came to a unanimous conclusion in their hearts:
never wake up the keepers in the future!
The keeper's morning grumpiness is so terrible QAQ
At this time, the little white deer finally plucked up the courage to speak: "Then...then..."
He looked at the keeper's warm black eyes, and suddenly felt that the thing he was most worried about seemed to no longer need to be asked.
So, he changed the question and said, "How is Number Two? He seemed to have completely transformed last night, and he didn't come to the activity room today."
He heard from the adults in the infirmary that after being completely transformed, one will lose his mind and become an inhuman beast, but he thinks... Number Two was not like this last night.
But to say that he still retains human memories, it doesn't seem like it... Recalling the way the red flame tiger hugged its head and shivered, 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 No. 2 really saved him and the little white deer!
He scratched his head and asked with concern: "Yes, is No. 2 okay? Will he always turn into a big tiger and never change back?"
