Chapter 57 Lily's autonomous consciousness.
Nan Qi's words made the insects outside the door fall into deep thought.
Arnold, who had come to deliver something, saw several insects that were about to be petrified and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go in?"
Bai reacted first: "Nothing, I'll go in right away."
Arnold didn't ask any more questions and pushed open the door to enter the box. He saw two male insects lying on the table watching a movie. When they saw him come in, they looked over.
They both had big eyes, and they looked at each other in unison, which was very cute. Arnold chuckled, and Bai behind him also raised his lips slightly.
"Bai, are you done?" Nan Qi's eyes lit up when he saw Bai. He stood up and walked to Bai's side, his eyes flashing.
Bai Bei's heart, hardened by official duties, suddenly softened. "Well, you're bored, aren't you?"
"No," Nan Qi shook his head and pulled Bai to sit aside. "Carter is with me. We ate and watched a movie. Did you have lunch?"
"I……"
"We haven't eaten yet." Before Bai could say anything, Mellon grinned and squeezed over. Looking at the couple who seemed to be oblivious to the others, he raised his eyebrows in a sly manner, "Nan Qi, you didn't miss us, did you?"
Nan Qi: “…”
He is not blind, so how could he not see it? Even if he didn't see it before, he can see it now.
Peggy walked up, exchanged friendly greetings with Nan Qi and Carter, then slapped Mellon on the back of the head. Mellon groaned, then spoke, "You idiot! Just talk about yourself. Don't bring me into this."
Then he looked at Nan Qi again: "Lunk and Todd have been transferred back. Bai is here to pick you up to welcome them."
"So fast?" Nan Qi was surprised.
Bai nodded: "Well, there's no point in staying any longer, it's better to come back soon."
"Then let's go. How about we go home? I'll make you something delicious. It's convenient to talk at home. Arnold and Carter can come over when they're done."
Nan Qi's words made Mellon and Peggy's eyes light up. They had all tasted Nan Qi's cooking skills, and they were really unforgettable.
The two insects looked at Bai in unison. This was Bai's lord, and they didn't dare agree to it lightly. If Bai refused, it would be a personal vendetta.
Bai looked at Nan Qi's happy expression and his friend's expectant look, and nodded after a moment.
"Great!" Mellon said in a rather unpromising manner, "Then let's pack some more braised food to take back. I haven't tried it yet."
"Okay, I'll take care of that. You guys wait a moment." Arnold waved to Carter. "We won't be going for a while. We're too busy with the opening today. Let's get together again after this busy period."
After that, Arnold took Carter away. Peggy looked at the two brothers from behind and elbowed Mellon, whose mind was full of food.
Mellon looked at him unhappily: "I'm not stupid, I saw it. Nan Qi, your friend is very smart."
Nan Qi smiled: "If you are not smart, how can you survive on Porter Star with your underage brother? As long as you have a good heart, it is better to be smart."
Mellon nodded seriously, "You're right. I think he'll be a powerful figure in the future. Do you think I should invest in his business? Maybe I won't have to worry about money for the rest of my life."
"Stop, stop. You don't have to worry about anything now." Peggy hurriedly pulled Mellon, who was talking about the starship, to a halt. "Since Nan Qi has decided to cook, we have to prepare the ingredients. Let's go buy some groceries and meet here later."
As Peggy spoke, she dragged Mellon out, leaving Bai and Nan Qi in the box.
The bustling box suddenly became quiet, with only the movie's ending song playing slowly.
Nan Qi looked at Bai carefully, and felt relieved when he saw that there was no worry on his face.
In the morning, Bai hurried to the military headquarters without even having breakfast. It seemed that there was something very important that Bai needed to deal with.
Bai came to pick him up at this time and said that he wanted to welcome Lunke, which meant that he had dealt with the matter.
Thinking of this, Nan Qi said carefully: "Everything has been handled properly. If it is inconvenient to answer, you don't have to answer."
"Yeah, I guess so." Bai felt a warm feeling in his heart. He took the initiative to tell her, "There's another clue about the game."
"You guessed right. The male insect's coma is not the end, but the beginning. Fortunately, you were there, allowing us to discover this loophole."
"Last night, the families really did take action. We discovered they had all been in contact with a mental and psychological research institute. Half of the families sent the unconscious male insect to a sanatorium affiliated with the institute early in the morning."
Nan Qi's eyes widened slightly. "So fast! Can we go undercover in the sanatorium under the Mental Psychology Institute?"
"It's a bit difficult at the moment," Bai Dao said. "This research institute has always been very secretive and has never appeared in the public eye before. Security is extremely strict, and we won't be able to place spies there for a while."
Nan Qi: "Then keep an eye on the periphery and check if they have any dealings with the official top brass of Brave. If there is really something wrong with this research institute, there will always be clues left behind."
"Well, I'll also send bugs to try and infiltrate. Now that it's proceeding as you suspected, I don't think this institute is innocent."
Because if Nan Qi hadn't figured out the secret, they would definitely not have been able to discover this research institute. Even if they did, they would not have thought that there might be something wrong with the institute.
Nan Qi patted Bai's hand gently and said, "Don't think about it. This has connected the broken clues. We can eventually find out everything."
"Yeah." Bai responded and pulled Nan Qi to his feet. "Let's go see if Arnold is ready. If he is, we'll go home. The dress has been delivered. You should try it on to see if it fits you."
At this point, Bai pursed his lips gently: "Nan Qi, Peggy and Mellon don't have any other intentions. They don't suspect Arnold, it's..."
"I understand." Nan Qi put his hand against Bai's lips and said with a smile, "The less people know about what you want to do, the better. Arnold is very smart and knows what to listen to and what not to listen to. He won't be angry, and neither will I."
"Didn't we say we were going to try on dresses? Let's go home. By the way, Xue Aisi's bug said he would send me flour today. It should have arrived by now. I'll make you some noodles later."
"Okay, let's go home."
The two bugs walked out of the box side by side, went to the back to find Arnold and took the packaged braised food. Without paying any attention to Mellon and Peggy who were still shopping, the two bugs drove Nan Qi's aircraft home.
When Mellon and Peggy returned to the braised food shop, they found out that the couple had gone home happily, but at least they had left them a flying vehicle so they didn't have to fly back.
"Hey, Bai Haozhen was kidnapped by Nan Qi and doesn't want us anymore~" Mellon acted like a cabbage farmer, which made Peggy roll her eyes. She shook off the idiot and got on the aircraft herself.
Mellon hurriedly followed. The two insects first went to Bai's mansion, but did not go in. They gave all the meat and vegetables they bought to Lily, and then went to pick up Lunk and Todd.
In the cloakroom, Bai's eyes lit up as he looked at Nan Qi who was walking out slowly.
Nan Qi is very handsome, with a slender figure and thick black hair. Because he hasn't cut it for a while, his hair has grown a little longer and falls softly on his shoulders, making his face look small.
His facial features are deep and stylish, his eyes are big and bright, and he always smiles. His pitch-black color is occasionally dotted with emerald green, making him even more mysterious. Coupled with his flexible skin that seems to be glowing, the whole insect has an indescribable beauty.
At this moment, she was wearing a moon-white loose long dress, like a bright moon spreading to the earth, which weakened the warmth of Nan Qi's body, and a sense of coldness surged up, making him look unattainable.
Bai was dazzled by Nan Qi's behavior and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
He walked forward slowly, stretched out his hands to gather Nan Qi's hair on both sides, and took out a moon-white hair tie decorated with small stars and moons from his pocket and carefully tied a small bun at the back of Nan Qi's head.
Whenever Nan Qi moved, the little stars and moons at the end of her hair moved along with her, making Nan Qi look younger and more lively. Her unattainable temperament was suppressed by this agility.
Nan Qi was curious and reached out to hook the little stars and moons at the end of her hair. His expression was exactly like that of the little cat that always sneaked into his backyard and was attracted by the foxtail grass swaying in the wind.
Bai then adjusted the irregularly designed collar of Nan Qi's shirt, which was embellished with moon-white shimmering brocade. He then pinched Nan Qi's waist, which made her stunned. Then he spoke, "Although it's a loose fit, the waist is still a little too big. It needs to be altered."
Nan Qi said "oh" and went back to playing with the accessories at the end of his hair. Bai saw that he liked it, his eyes moved slightly, and he took out a tassel-style hairpin from his pocket and gently pinned it to the side of Nan Qi's hair behind his ear.
Nan Qi's eyes rolled around, and suddenly he broke into a big smile. While Bai was dazed, he leaned close to Bai and said in a low, magnetic voice:
"Bai, did you like dolls very much when you were a child?"
"What?"
"You seem to really enjoy dressing me up. I can understand the hair tie because you noticed my hair has grown longer, but..." Nan Qi's eyes flickered as he stretched out his fingers to hook the tassels hanging by his ears, "But this matching hair accessory reveals your little thoughts."
white:"……"
Giving up on himself, he rolled his eyes and closed them: "Why, can't I dress up my hero?"
"Yes, of course." Nan Qi smiled. It was so funny that Bai was saying such harsh words but his face turned red. Seeing this, Nan Qi's heart started to beat wildly again.
Their eyes met, and they both avoided each other. Finally, it was Lily who interrupted the strange atmosphere between the two insects. Lily came to inform them that Mellon had delivered the ingredients.
After giving the notice, Lily didn't leave. Instead, she circled around Nan Qi twice, staring at him with her gemstone compound eyes for a long time, making Nan Qi feel a little embarrassed. Lily said, "Bai, Nan Qi looks so beautiful like this. I remember you have a star and moon brooch that matches perfectly."
Bai was stunned for a moment. Why did Lily's words today sound so much like a living insect?
With the development of insect artificial intelligence, it should be able to develop independent consciousness.
But I don’t know if it’s because the intelligent system is derived from the main brain system, and the main brain is so powerful but has no autonomous consciousness, so almost no insect-made intelligence can develop autonomous consciousness.
Normally, the intelligent creatures can communicate fluently with the main insect and handle emergencies, entirely based on the huge computing power of the intelligent chips in their bodies. In fact, they have no autonomous consciousness at all.
But they didn't even ask Lily what she thought of Nan Qi's dress. Lily thought Nan Qi was beautiful, praised Nan Qi and offered suggestions on how to dress Nan Qi. This was obviously her own decision.
Has Lily developed independent consciousness?
