The moment Huo Li met the black-haired boy's eyes, he felt a little dazed. He murmured unconsciously: "Xiaoyi, you're back..."

It seemed that there was an intuition telling him that he was different from the fake copy just now.

But then Huo Li noticed the scratch on the boy's forehead and the ignorant and empty eyes. This was not Xiaoyi... Xiaoyi was dead. The reason that returned to Huo Li dealt a heavy blow to him, and his eyes turned unfriendly when he looked at the black-haired boy.

Seeing the murderous intent in Huo Li's eyes, Xiao Yi shrank back in fear and asked, "Who are you? Where is this place?"

The young man's clear voice echoed in the basement, and Huo Li's eyes softened unconsciously, but then turned expressionless.

Huo Li's voice was a little cold: "I will only tell you this question once, you must remember: you are just a substitute created by me, you are just a copy of my lover Xiao Yi's genes, you are not a human, don't you understand?"

Xiao Yi choked, and the innocent expression on his face almost couldn't be maintained. Huo Li was too straightforward. Shouldn't he deceive himself and treat the black silk mutant as his own amnesiac self, and then reminisce about the past when they lived together?

"And I am Huo Li, this is my home." Huo Li said, then grabbed the boy's sleeve and took him upstairs.

The little alien stumbled unconsciously as soon as he took a step, and then while being pulled upstairs by Huo Li, he silently realized that Huo Li's mental power was still controlling him as the black silk mutant. So in order to protect himself, Huo Li used his mental power to block all the alien abilities of this body, and at the same time suppressed the alien physical fitness of this body.

In other words, after Xiaoyi replaced the replica, he was suppressed by Huo Li's mental force and turned into a weak and ordinary boy.

Xiaoyi didn't know why he felt a little happy in his heart: This replica is so different from me! This is good.

Huo Li put the boy in the front hall, went back to the bedroom alone, and then turned back, holding a few pieces of paper full of words in his hand.

"From now on, everything you say and do must be done according to what is written on this paper," Huo Li said, "The purpose of your existence is to be a good substitute, understand?"

The black-haired boy looked at Huo Li with a pair of clear big eyes and said obediently: "I know, Mr. Huo Li."

Huo Li looked at the black-haired boy with a look that was still not warm: "I'll give you 5 minutes to prepare."

Xiaoyi nodded and moved his eyes to the first note.

What the hell is this!

It only says:

[Black-haired boy (with a gleam of success in his eyes): "Huo Li, haven't you figured it out yet? I'm really back!"]

[The black-haired boy happily patted Huo Li, who was already stunned, and then explained...]

5 minutes later.

"Have you finished reciting?" Huo Li asked calmly.

The black-haired boy replied obediently: "I have, Mr. Huo Li."

Huo Li: "Then let's start. Although you are a stand-in, you have the same IQ as Xiaoyi. You have the ability to act exactly like Xiaoyi himself."

There was a hint of threat in Huo Li's voice, as if the black-haired boy would get rid of this useless copy if he made any mistakes.

So Xiaoyi had to put the note aside, the innocent and timid expression on his face gradually disappeared, and then he showed Huo Li a smile like a successful prank:

"Huo Li, haven't you seen it yet? I'm really back!"

Huo Li still looked at the boy expressionlessly, but his slightly red eyes and trembling hands revealed his explosive emotions.

Xiaoyi reached out and patted Huo Li's shoulder, and then gently stroked his right shoulder, saying happily:

"Huo Li, in fact, these are all my plans. The desolate planet did not explode at all, and the nuclear strike was also fake. I just wanted to trick you into destroying the Star Alliance!"

Huo Li trembled even more violently, and the shudder passed through his shoulder to Xiaoyi's hand.

The black-haired boy smiled proudly and said, "Even you were fooled! Who told you not to probe my thoughts after the zombie world? That night, many officers and soldiers on the starships were controlled by Langtai. As for the video of the desolate planet being blown into powder, it was fabricated by the programmer. Yes, he has turned over a new leaf!"

Xiao Yi thought about the almost fairy-tale-like and full of loopholes script that Huo Li wrote to "resurrect" himself. The boy's cheerful tone almost couldn't be maintained, and he quickly lowered his head and smiled to cover the corners of his eyes that were about to be wet.

The black-haired boy shook Huo Li with his hand: "What are you worried about? I'm really back. If you don't believe me, take a starship to the deserted planet and take a look. The planet is still there!"

Xiaoyi watched a tear drip from Huo Li's red eyes, slide across his cheek and drip onto the ground.

"Xiaoyi, are you really not dead?" Huo Li's voice was a little tense, "But 2d14 did return to the main system..."

Xiaoyi was now using almost all of his mental strength to maintain his expression and continued to act according to the script written by Huo Li.

The black-haired boy couldn't help but laugh and said, "You believe this? The main system and I are deceiving you. You can't see the system, so how can you know that 2d14 has returned! Now 2d14 is still in my mind and has never left."

The boy took a step forward, held Huo Li's face with both hands and bent him down to look into the boy's eyes: "I am an alien! How can I die so easily?"

The boy put down his hands and looked at Huo Li with a smile.

Xiaoyi looked at Huo Li and raised his head slightly, closing his eyes briefly. This beautiful fantasy was like a sweet and deadly poppy. Huo Li wiped his tears with the back of his hand. He had abandoned all his rationality and fell into the illusion he had woven.

Huo Li gazed greedily at the real boy in front of him, a happy smile on his face: "Xiaoyi, you are really still alive, this is really... I knew that such a smart kid like you would be killed by those humans."

Huo Li turned around to get the iron can from the cabinet, then said embarrassedly: "This is the coffee I prepared for you. It is the same brand as the researcher who always walks in front of your laboratory with coffee. It took me a long time to find it. It was originally going to be given to you as soon as the parasitic beast was destroyed!"

Huo Li ran the coffee skillfully, added three spoons of milk and sugar according to Xiaoyi's taste before handing it to the boy.

Huo Li looked at the young man expectantly, his eyes filled with deep joy and doting, but the sadness and despair hidden deep in his gaze was even stronger.

The young man lowered his head and took a sip of coffee without saying anything. Xiaoyi no longer had time to memorize the script, and all his willpower was used to maintain a happy expression on his face. It would be stupid to cry now.

"Xiaoyi, you said that you would be with me as long as I destroyed the Star Covenant." Huo Li's voice was filled with a strong desire for praise: "Now that I have completely eliminated the Star Covenant, no one will hunt you down or slander you anymore..."

Huo Li put his arm around Xiaoyi's shoulders and whispered in the boy's ear: "Xiaoyi, I'm sorry, I didn't eliminate the Star Covenant in time. You were so straightforward on your birthday. "You told me that you knew the Star Alliance's plan, but I let things develop for the sake of that ridiculous sense of morality."

Huo Li's voice was filled with infinite regret: "If I had made the decision earlier, I wouldn't have lost you... No! I mean I almost lost you." Huo Li firmly denied the fact that the boy he had just said was dead, and his voice was filled with joy of regaining what he had lost:

"Xiaoyi, I love you! Can you be with me?" Huo Li's voice was a little trembling, and even with a hint of begging: "You promised me that as long as I destroyed the Star Alliance, now I have done it! Xiaoyi..."

I don't know if he was begging the boy for his promise, or for this dream to never be shattered.

The black-haired boy felt his eyes filled with tears for the first time. He hugged Huo Li tightly and buried his face in his shoulders: "Huo Li, I'm really back! I love you too."

Then Xiaoyi heard Huo Li chuckle in his ear. There was no despair in his voice, only a warm and teasing tone:

"You finally admitted it? Little fool! I knew it was you the second time I went down to the basement. You were finally fooled by me..."

Huo Li turned his head and kissed the boy's lips fiercely.
