Chapter 70: Scene 28: Humans are unwilling to admit
"Xiao Jin, don't be sad." He Yuezhe said.
"Think about it, your store is so big, there must be a lot of coupons."
"actually……"
"Are you a robot?!" Qian Bao screamed in horror.
"Don't hurt Xiao Jin anymore, everyone calm down." Lin Jining grabbed Qian Bao who wanted to escape in time.
"I can help you hold down Yang Jin. After that, can you give me some coupons?" Qian Die's eyes sparkled.
"Okay." He Yuezhe nodded at Qian Die with a smile.
I didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who shared the same ideals as her.
"I'm just an adopted son, ahhhhhh. I won't get the family inheritance unless my father dies. My business has gone bankrupt, so please don't make things worse. Ahhhhhhh, Ou Wu, wuwuwu..."
Yang Jin roared in pain.
"Stop cursing my dad to death, ah wu ...
"Well, we have always been gentlemen, we act with action instead of words." Lin Jining nodded, expressing his approval of Yang Jin's words.
"Your father, my son, you, Xiaolin, are you also a human-machine?!"
Qian Bao became even more terrified, and gradually fell to the ground after hanging on Lin Jining's hand.
"Well, you are a good student." Qian Die finally looked at Lin Jining with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
Although He Yuezhe felt that this was not a good idea, after all, Boss Yang's body still had a lot of research value. If he died like this, where would she find a more suitable human being for research?
"Okay," He Yuezhe said timidly, "We won't curse your father to death."
"So can you show me your dad?"
Yang Jin, Qian Bao: ???
Lin Jining: ...
Qian Die: ...
"Um, can I watch?" Qian Die asked.
"Of course." He Yuezhe was very welcoming.
"Wait," Yang Jin suddenly stood up. "Boss, you'd better not look at my dad. Actually, my dad is—"
"Yes, a spy?" Qian Bao had already collapsed on the ground, but he still continued with a trembling voice.
"Qianbao, are you okay? Do you want me to check on you again?" Lin Jining grabbed Qian Bao's hand and sat on the ground. His other hand gently touched Qian Bao's neck.
"Can Qian Bao's body be seamlessly connected?" Qian Die held up his chin and began to ponder.
"Boss—"
He Yuezhe was still listening to the three people chatting when a thin body rushed into her arms.
"They all bully me, wuwuwuwuwu, please protect me!!!——"
"Host, if I remember correctly, you told me before about this young man named 'Yang Jin'. He has a very special identity, right?"
"Oh my! It was so long ago, and you still remember it."
"Our system has a good memory! Host, you can insult me in other areas, but when it comes to "memory", I am unmatched by anyone!!"
"Okay." He Yuezhe smiled and patted Yang Jin's head. "Anyway, now that the real Yang Jin is back, I don't have to doubt him anymore."
"Boss, wuwuwuwu..." Yang Jin cried aggrievedly. He seemed really sad about what his father had done.
"Don't cry, cheer up, there are people waiting for you to save them." He Yuezhe squatted down and looked at Yang Jin at eye level, gently wiping away the tears on his face.
“Besides, I think I’ve already guessed who that fake Yang Jin is.
"After all, the only person who never appears in the story from beginning to end is that person—"
Don’t you think so? It’s early.

After comforting Yang Jin, Qian Bao and the other two old members went up the stairs after receiving a notice that a laboratory had been burned down.
He Yuezhe and Yang Jin were left alone, bored in the corner of the building.
The clock struck eight in the evening.
Soon, humans and robots began pouring into the building's various entrances and exits. They didn't communicate with each other, so the only sound inside the building was the sound of footsteps.
He Yuezhe was leaning against a big rock, playing a puzzle game with the system with her eyes closed, when Yang Jin beside her suddenly pulled her sleeve.
"Boss, I, I have something to tell you..."
"What?" He Yuezhe opened his eyes and looked at Yang Jin.
The boy bit his lips and rolled his eyes, seeming very nervous.
"It's about me," Yang Jin took a deep breath and said, "Since I've decided to join the organization with you, Boss, I feel I can't keep it secret any longer."
"...You know the owner of this body, don't you?"
"No, you not only know each other, you were even good friends." He Yuezhe stared into his eyes and asked.
Yang Jin was startled. He nodded, "Yes! But how did you know that, Boss?"
"Yue Ling told me, I am her friend too." He Yuezhe smiled.
"When did I tell you that?"
"So, I'm right?"
"Yue Ling?" Yang Jin's eyes widened. "Does this mean...boss, both your soul and hers are in this one body?"
He Yuezhe narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, but I am the outsider."
"I only make friends with you so I can kill your souls."
"Well, doesn't that sound cool?"
"Boss? Are you serious??"
"What's so good about this? Besides, Xiao Jin, even if I say this, you are still willing to be friends with me, right?"
"Hmm...but Boss, will others be willing too?"
"Don't you want to? If you don't want to, go die."
"When did I ever say that if you don't become my friend, you won't have to kill your soul?"
"Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"
"That's fine. Okay, okay, just tell me what you want to say. Time waits for no one." He Yuezhe took a black dagger in his hand and turned it around.
"Oh," Yang Jin nodded blankly, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock He Yuezhe had brought him. "Okay, I'll tell you right away."
"Look, Boss, you can probably tell that my dad is more than five rounds older than me."
"So he actually picked me up from the ruins of No. 499.5."
"When I was a kid, the owner of your body, Yue Ling, and another friend often came to see my dad."
"That's how I met Yue Ling, and she even rented our shop to us."
"So I have always regarded her as my idol."
“…”
"But the strange thing is, I'm the only human I've ever met who hasn't been wrapped in that kind of plastic wrap since birth."
"My dad told me that's why I'm so skinny and haven't grown taller."
"But he didn't seem to support me wrapping it in plastic wrap."
"It was only today that I realized that this film is actually useless."
"What do you mean useless?"
"Well, it means that the toxins in the air don't actually pose any real harm to humans."
“Humans wrapping themselves in plastic is just, just…”
"Just to stay in perfect shape?"
"Yeah, isn't that ridiculous?"
"Because humans care too much about how they appear to others, they would rather suffer to maintain a perfect figure."
"But humans were unwilling to admit this, which led to the emergence of 'toxic gas'."
"That's pretty bullshit."
"Haha, well, host, the platform employees' imaginations about the source of the world they created are indeed quite rich. It's because their imaginations are so far-fetched that they are destined to die."
"Did your father tell you all this?"
"Yeah, my dad seems to be a three-faced guy. He joined the organization, took orders from the factory, and set up an experimental institute with some crazy old guys."
"I guess it's because I have many identities that I know more, right?"
"The laboratory? The one that's affiliated with the organization and has a partnership with the school run by the organization?"
"That's probably the case. I haven't heard of any other laboratories."
"Is that so? Then let's change the goal of our next mission to exploring the laboratory? I feel like there's a lot of interesting stuff there."
"Can I come with you?"
"Boss, you're going to—"
“Ah ...
He Yuezhe looked at Yang Jin in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Did I scare you?"
“No! Boss!” Yang Jin turned around under the scorching gazes of the two strangers and stiffly grabbed He Yuezhe’s arm. “Why are you here, you, you, you, you, you, why are you here???”
"I think the rocks over here are easier to lean on."
"So I've just been..."
"Hello."
"Hello."
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——”
^
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
“Yeah, very good!”
"The young man provided so much useful information on his first day in the organization. It seems their vision has improved, hahahahaha!"
He Yuezhe stood aside, watching quietly as Yang Jin was pulled by the two strangers to report to an old man who looked very familiar.
"What's your name?" the old man patted Yang Jin's shoulder and asked.
As he raised his arm, the unpleasant smell of cigarettes and alcohol began to spread rapidly in this small room on the middle floor of a tall building.
Yang Jin was so choked that he rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
"Hey, you are here too, Shi Liu. Tell me quickly, what is the name of this smart young man?" The old man's gaze moved to He Yuezhe, and his eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile.
"Boss Li," He Yuezhe replied, "I don't think I'm obligated to tell you his name, am I?"
Boss Li was stunned when he heard this, and he sighed deeply. "Hey, you clearly know that I know his name, so why don't you want to tell me?"
"...Boss?" Yang Jin suddenly spoke.
His eyes were dazed, and after he finished speaking, he tried to break free from the two men's hands and ran towards He Yuezhe.
He Yuezhe, who had originally planned to exchange his life for the information of Boss Li who posted the "Notice to Save Yang Jin", suddenly fell into silence.
"Boss Li, you saw it too, he relies on me a lot." He Yue turned over and pulled Yang Jin away.
"So I changed my mind and decided to take this 'true friend' with me."
"I won't kill you."
"But this world will soon be destroyed. You should find another way to make a living."
He Yuezhe had already turned and walked out of the room.
The scent of flowers and plants outside filled her nostrils, followed by a dull ache in the core of her being.
"Yue Ling's body won't be able to wait until then," Boss Li's voice deepened. "You should be prepared for this to end at any moment."
"Besides, many truths don't require death."
“Being alive may be the truth.”
"...He Yuezhe."
He Yuezhe turned around suddenly.
She looked at the weathered old man and the countless tassel bracelets on his arms.
"Survive."
