Lu Chen closed his eyes, stared at Sun Zexia and said with gritted teeth: "I'm warning you, don't touch my things!"
Sun Zexia slapped him on the forehead: "How dare you, a servant, speak to me like that?"
Lu Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed Sun Zexia by the neck, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "You're practically asking for death..."
Number 2 suddenly said, "Let go!"
Lu Chen's hand loosened uncontrollably; his anger had nowhere to go, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Sun Zexia touched his neck and asked, "Did Lu Chen just break free of your control?"
If Lu Chen could escape control, even for just a second, it would be a huge safety hazard for them.
That one second was enough for him to kill someone.
Luo Xinglan also realized the seriousness of the matter and looked at No. 2 with questioning eyes.
Number 2 scratched his head sheepishly: "Uh, actually I was just distracted and didn't keep an eye on him for a moment, which gave him the opportunity."
Sun Zexia patted his chest: "That's good. I thought Lu Chen could escape your control."
Luo Xinglan, however, was not as optimistic as him.
Although Number 2 is a robot, its energy is limited, and it is impossible for it to keep a close watch on Lu Chen every minute and every second.
If what just happened happens again, the consequences will be unimaginable.
How to solve this problem?
Luo Xinglan frowned in thought.
Number 2 noticed her annoyance and said with some self-blame, "Master, don't worry. I will be more careful next time and I promise not to be distracted again."
Luo Xinglan shook her head: "Number 2, what happened just now is not your fault. On the contrary, it reminded me that it is not a good idea to let you keep staring at him like this. We have to think of a way to have the best of both worlds."
But she couldn't remember it for a moment.
As they spoke, Sun Zexia looked down at the poison he had just taken from Lu Chen.
"Corrosive liquid?" Sun Zexia played with the small porcelain bottle in his hand. "What is this?"
Luo Xinglan looked over upon hearing this.
After reading the description, Sun Zexia's eyes lit up immediately: "Wow, this is a good thing!"
Luo Xinglan asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Hehe, I think I know a way to make Lu Chen obedient," Sun Zexia chuckled and handed the small porcelain bottle to Luo Xinglan, "Xiao Lanlan, take a look for yourself!"
Lu Chen, who was standing aside, had a dark face.
Luo Xinglan took it and examined it.
[Corrosive Fluid: A super corrosive fluid developed by Yafei. Regardless of the material the robot is made of, it will be corroded and reduced to scrap metal. Furthermore, this corrosive fluid will cause the robot to experience excruciating hallucinations.]
Can robots be corrupted?
It can also cause robots to hallucinate excruciating pain?
Luo Xinglan suddenly smiled.
That smile made Lu Chen's hairs stand up - even though he didn't have any hairs.
But the chilling feeling made him restless.
Luo Xinglan walked slowly to him, shook the corrosive liquid, and asked, "Why would Yafei give you this?"
Lu Chen pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Luo Xinglan said confidently, "Even if you didn't say it, I would have guessed it. You once said that you were immortal. This immortality is relative to the survivors, right?"
"Actually, a more accurate statement is that no survivor can defeat you. After all, who can kill a pile of metal?"
"But this bottle of corrosive fluid can easily corrode your body. Without a body, your consciousness will have nowhere to rest and will naturally dissipate, right?"
"And Yafei gave you the corrosive liquid so that you would commit suicide after things were exposed, right?"
Lu Chen's face grew increasingly pale until, after hearing Luo Xinglan's last words, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Seeing his reaction, what else could the others not understand?
Sun Zexia couldn't help but click his tongue: "This Yafei really left herself a way out, but she didn't expect that we had Number 2, who directly controlled Lu Chen, giving him no chance to commit suicide."
Luo Xinglan shook her head: "No, you underestimate people's will to survive."
"What do you mean?" Sun Zexia asked, puzzled.
Luo Xinglan explained, "At the beginning, Number 2 did not completely control Lu Chen. His hands could still move freely. He had many opportunities to take out this bottle of corrosive liquid and commit suicide, but he did not. This shows that deep down, he longed to live, even after being transformed into a robot."
Luo Xinglan looked at Lu Chen with a smile: "Am I right?"
After all, Lu Chen was someone who had already died once.
No one understood the horror of death better than him.
If given another chance to live, he would fight tooth and nail to seize it and would not give up on life easily.
Moreover, he is now invulnerable to blades and bullets, and his strength is terrifying. No survivor can stand against him. For Lu Chen, who admires strength, this is the most exhilarating thing, and he is even less likely to seek death.
It can only be said that Yafei considered everything very comprehensively, but she underestimated Lu Chen's desire to survive.
Lu Chen stared at Luo Xinglan for three seconds, then suddenly laughed at himself: "Luo Xinglan, it seems that I am no match for you."
He can analyze even his thoughts so accurately. He is like an invisible man in front of Luo Xinglan. What chance does he have of winning?
As early as the first time he clashed with Luo Xinglan, his defeat was doomed.
Ironically, his previous death did not serve as a wake-up call for him; instead, he became even more determined to prove that he could defeat Luo Xinglan.
But reality slapped him hard in the face, and he was defeated by Luo Xinglan again.
But this time, the resentment in his heart seemed to have disappeared with his defeat.
"This bottle of corrosive liquid was indeed given to me by Yafei," Lu Chen said slowly. "She wanted me to commit suicide immediately after failure, and I laughed at her worrying too much. With my current strength, how could I possibly fail? I didn't expect..."
Indeed, he had many opportunities to commit suicide just now, but he simply couldn't bring himself to do it!
Having truly experienced death, he wanted to live more than anyone else.
Even if... it meant losing his self-respect, as a servant of Luo Xinglan and his group, he didn't want to die.
Unexpectedly, Sun Zexia found this bottle of corrosive liquid by sheer coincidence.
Could it be...?
Is he still doomed to die?
Luo Xinglan: "Since you don't want to die, you'd better behave yourself and not do anything excessive, otherwise, this bottle of corrosive liquid will be your death warrant."
Lu Chen suddenly looked up at her: "You're not going to kill me?"
Luo Xinglan's answer was ambiguous: "As long as you do a good job, I will consider it."
Luo Xinglan's words gave Lu Chen hope, and he nodded: "It's just being a servant, right? I'll do it!"
Sun Zexia: "No, no, no, it's not as simple as being a servant now."
Lu Chen frowned: "What do you mean?"
Sun Zexia chuckled: "Servants are a thing of the past. Now you're going to be their beast of burden."
Lu Chen: “…”
Sun Zexia pretended to sprinkle the corrosive liquid on him: "Why, do you have any objections?"
Lu Chen gritted his teeth: "No objection!"
