With two days left of the holiday, Qiao Yichen and the robot returned to their residence. The "Weihan Headquarters Special Assault Operation" was quickly put on the agenda.The robot's attitude towards this plan is still lukewarm, and it is still dissatisfied with Qiao Yichen's insistence on participating.

"Don't you have to go to work the day after tomorrow? Why don't you take a two-day break?"

"I eat and sleep at my parents' house. I'm tired of resting, don't you know?"

That's right, Qiao Yichen's hair is almost growing this year.The robot not only takes care of all the housework and physical work, but also makes fun for parents from time to time. It looks like a daughter-in-law returning to her mother-in-law’s house during the Chinese New Year——

I bother!

Qiao Yichen twisted his thigh severely.

The conscience of heaven and earth, this is really not my own random thinking.Before leaving, Mother Qiao pulled her son over and whispered, "You two are fine, ah."

Qiao Yichen struggled to explain for a long time, but she still looked skeptical, and said that it was all right, mom could understand.This made Qiao Yichen either cry or laugh.Although the current world is not like it was a few decades ago, when a man was hanged and beaten by his parents when he brought a man home, he would not feel so comfortable if he kept this completely unreasonable thing in his head.Besides, that guy's big brother is terrible, so he won't like himself.The person who liked me is long gone.

It's long...gone.

Qiao Yichen found the abuser again and made a fool of himself.Seeing that he was silent, the robot asked, "Hey, why are you in a daze?"

It suddenly leaned over, startling Qiao Yichen.When he came back to his senses, the familiar face so close at hand made Qiao Yichen a little uneasy.

"I'll go by myself." It said, "Anyway, the place is familiar, so if you go, it will add to the chaos."

The robot is still trying to dissuade Qiao Yichen from going to Ye's company.Qiao Yichen didn't understand what it had to worry about.The Ye family collapsed, and the building was probably vacant, so it wouldn't cause much trouble just to take a look.The robot couldn't persuade him, and said, "Aren't you just afraid that I will cause trouble outside alone and hurt you? Why don't you trust me so much?"

If the robot has any illegal acts, the owner of the robot is fully responsible.This guideline is included in the Robot Regulations.Of course Qiao Yichen knew about this.However, it was obviously not because of this that he insisted on going together.

"What do you do if you are alone in danger?"

Without an owner present, a robot is like an unlocked car on the side of the road, or an unattended computer on a desk, and the cost of harming them is much less than harming humans.It’s okay in daily life. After all, not every passer-by has a pair of piercing eyes to identify machines, and few people dare to blatantly plot to commit crimes in broad daylight.But this is different, and no one can predict what will happen there.If someone steals or intentionally damages the robot, they will be sentenced to two or three years if it is serious, and if it is light, they will pay a small amount of money and the matter will be over.This kind of news is often published in newspapers, and humanitarian organizations have expressed protests and demanded the establishment of robot protection laws.In this way, no matter how broad-minded Qiao Yichen was, he would never dare to let him be in danger alone.

"That's my backyard, and I'm not stupid..." Its eyes were shaken for some reason, and its voice fell silent.After hesitating for a long time, the robot with an ambiguous expression inadvertently met Qiao Yichen's serious eyes, curled his lips, and finally agreed.

***

The time of action was set for the evening of the next day.Both day and night have their own inconveniences, the two discussed it, and simply chose a time when there are few people and they are not afraid of the dark lights.Qiao Yichen also prepared flashlights, ropes, screwdrivers, pepper water, and other things that he didn't know what to use.Pulling Qiao Yichen's backpack, the robot carried it on its back. The two cheered each other up, and went out with such a serious expression.

The headquarters of Weihan Company is located in the bustling road section of the city.The adjacent buildings are all communication companies, bank headquarters, etc., and the passers-by are all elites in suits and ties, but the empty atmosphere around them makes the scene a bit bleak.The robot with Ye Junhao's memory saw that the once prosperous family business had changed into what it was before, and it was hard to hide the shaken expression on his face.Knowing that it was trying to restrain itself, Qiao Yichen simply pretended not to notice it, turned his head to look at the sky, the earth and the scenery, until it called out to him softly, then he followed its pace with a calm expression on his face.

When I came to the company's gate, there was a court seal on this very imposing gate.When planning this operation before, the two had studied how to break through the gate.Although it said that the company's buildings are all electronic combination locks, which can be opened without prying, but Qiao Yichen didn't want to squat in the cell for a few days just to tear off the seal.

Turned around the building, no one found a breakthrough point.The robot suddenly remembered something and waved to Qiao Yichen.In this way, the two came to the door of the underground garage a dozen steps away.

The shutter door was pulled down, but the seal had been torn off.It looks like someone got here first.The two looked at each other, meaning to be more careful for a while, then pulled up the shutter door that was ajar and got in.

It was dark and cold in the garage.The harsh metal sound of the rolling shutter door being pulled down made some strange sounds in the huge confined space.Even though Qiao Yichen was not so timid in normal times, he couldn't help shaking a little at this moment.Subconsciously looking for the figure of his companions, he didn't expect someone to grab his wrist suddenly.

"!" His back felt cold.

"Flashlight."

The people around me whispered.

He fumbled for its backpack and gave it the flashlight.The robot still clenched his arm tightly and wouldn't let go.Although Qiao Yichen was dragged forward step by step like a rag doll, the feeling of knowing that it was by his side made me feel at ease.Following the faint light source, the whole picture of the underground garage gradually emerged in front of my eyes.The place is very large and empty, and there are a few cars that haven't had time to drive away.The thick dust on the car indicated that its owner had not been here for a long time.I don't know if I forgot, or if I can't even think about it.

It was terribly quiet in the ear, only the footsteps of the two people being amplified by the echo, and the gurgling sound of the dense pipes above their heads.After walking with it for a while, familiar scenery kept appearing in front of my eyes.At first Qiao Yichen thought he was dazzled, but after seeing the dirty dark red sports car by the wall for the third time, Qiao Yichen finally realized that something was wrong.

A chill came from the soles of my feet.

Could it be... a ghost hit a wall, right?

The plots in the horror novels I have read come to my mind one after another.It's hard to say that there are not many ghosts and evil spirits in this kind of ghost place.It's okay if you get entangled.The more Qiao Yichen thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, and he looked helplessly at the people around him.Unexpectedly, there was no sense of crisis on the face of the robot. If I had to say it, I was a little confused and confused.

Damn.

I actually forgot such an important thing.

This guy is a road idiot.

Qiao Yichen was half-dead from anger at his unpromising virtue just now, and suddenly felt relieved, his heels softened suddenly, and he almost sat on the ground without propping up his buttocks.Noticing that Qiao Yichen's face turned pale, the robot dragged him to his side.Then said softly: "It's okay, there will be no ghosts here."

Can this guy read minds?

"I am a robot. Where there are robots, there will be no ghosts." It firmly said, "We and ghosts are not in the same system."

This reason is subtle and irrefutable.Thinking about the scene of this guy fighting some unknown ghost for [-] rounds, Qiao Yichen couldn't help laughing.

The two finally found the door leading from the underground garage to the main building by relying on road signs and signs.

The Jiugongge code pad is pasted on the door as if to show off.After all, in the past eight years, the access code has probably been changed many times.Can this guy do it?

Looking at it suspiciously, the robot said confidently: "We are the same kind, and we can communicate spiritually."

Seeing that it was serious, Qiao Yichen believed it.Watch it touch and scratch the door lock like a witchcraft, as if the closed door can sense its brain waves and open its arms at any time.The mysterious hand fiddled exaggeratedly for a while, and then quickly pressed a few times on the keyboard indiscriminately.

……

"Beep————"

It doesn't sound like the password is correct.And there was no sign of the door opening at all.Its so-called "spiritual communication" is obviously the guy's random nonsense to fool himself.Qiao Yichen tilted his head to look at it, and watched it gradually show a flattering smile that the matter had been revealed. He couldn't help but feel that the anger in his chest was about to burn out the last trace of timidity in his heart.

Half-smiling, he punched it in the chest.The robot covered its chest like a little girl shyly avoiding it.Pull it back and say don't make trouble, think of a way, it's getting dark, the machine naughty said: "I'm just kidding you, can I open this lock?"

It seemed to tap on the keyboard lightly and gracefully, and with a short "didi" sound, the door really opened.

Qiao Yichen was dumbfounded.

The robot complacently dragged Qiao Yichen into the building.

***

At the beginning, Qiao Yichen really believed that robots have the "magical skill of unlocking locks".But not long after, after the third long electronic sound sounded in front of Ye Junming's former office, Qiao Yichen began to doubt his thoughts.

The first destination of the two is here.Qiao Yichen wanted to observe the structure of Ye Junming's office on the spot, and infer the possibility of poisoning in the office.And the guy next to him might also want to come back and have a look.

Password failed again.Qiao Yichen suddenly realized that it was impossible for this guy to open the lock at will by touching it twice.Otherwise, would anyone sell this highly dangerous robot?Isn't the manufacturer that sells electronic locks going to close down?

"Hey, this kind of lock doesn't have a limit on the number of errors, does it?"

Counting this is the fifth time.

"No, don't worry."

After trying for a long time, I still can't get the correct password.Qiao Yichen asked what was done just now.The robot said seriously, the one downstairs was indeed a joke.The basement usually has two passwords that are used in rotation, and being able to open them means that they have not been changed in the past eight years.Now this has obviously been changed, and no one knows what it was changed to.

Qiao Yichen was a little bit withdrawn.But seeing how persistent it is, I'm afraid it really wants to go in.Racking his brains for a while, Qiao Yichen suddenly had a flash of inspiration.When I told the robot, surprise flashed in its eyes.

The two found the switch on the floor they were on, clicked and pulled it.Quick and easy, the door opens.

Hey, isn't this place a big security risk?

Following the robot into the office, Qiao Yichen felt "ah—" in his heart.

He decided not to look in the direction of the robot.

This is because, if it cries secretly, it can pretend not to see it.

In front of me—it can no longer be called an office, it can only be regarded as a warehouse at best.

In the room, there are some waste tables and chairs, construction consumables, cleaning tools, and a lot of leftover employee benefits, such as soybean oil, mushroom gift packs, dried seafood, and fruit baskets that smell sour.

It seems that no one remembers the original owner of this room and the reason why he left.

The robot didn't say a word, and couldn't see the expression with his back turned to him.Qiao Yichen was thinking about whether to let him be alone for a while, and was about to leave quietly.Before he could turn around, his arm was pulled.

"Didn't you say you wanted to come and see it?" it asked with a calm face.

"Oh..." Qiao Yichen replied with some panic, not knowing what to say.

After an awkward silence, the robot spoke calmly.

"The last time I saw my brother, I had a big fight with him here."

It should be talking about what happened before Ye Junhao's body got into a car accident.

"When I heard that my brother and uncle were going to join forces to deal with me, I couldn't control my emotions at all. Do you know?" It pointed to its feet, "I just stood here and said to him: 'Do you just treat me as a The instrument of your vengeance?'”

It smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I admire him, trust him, rely on him, and regard him as the goal of my life. At the same time, I suspect that he deceives me, uses me, and even harms me. Am I abnormal?"

The blood-red sunset outside the window turned the silhouette of the person in front of him into a silhouette.That shadow stood alone in the sunset like this, as if it might dissipate in the burning sky at any time.

Qiao Yichen forgot to breathe.

Want to keep it away from the pain, away from the heavy past.Want to make it happy and carefree.I want to accompany it all the time, warm it, and make it no longer lonely.I don't know where this impulse came from, and Qiao Yichen didn't want to care about it.He swallowed hard the fishy sweetness in his throat, walked to the side of the robot, took its hand, and held it tightly.

"It's easy to worry about gains and losses because you care about it." Qiao Yichen tried to make himself laugh, "Everyone is the same, what's wrong with this?"

Qiao Yichen finally saw its expression clearly.In the dusk, that face that was about to cry looked at him helplessly. "You don't know what my brother looked like at that time after hearing what I said." It said angrily, "I know that I hurt him, but I still suspect that the car accident was related to him. I..."

"You underestimate your brother too." Qiao Yichen interrupted it, "Your brother has been with you for so many years, can you still not understand your temper? I think it's not so much that he was hurt by your words, but he It's better to say that he is worried that after you calm down and think clearly, you will regret and blame yourself for making life difficult for yourself."

Its expression was a little surprised.

"Isn't it always like this? When something happens, you get angry beforehand, and when you figure it out, you come back and humbly. You pretend I don't know—"

Qiao Yichen couldn't finish speaking.Because he was hugged tightly.Mouth stuffed with fluff from the hood of the down jacket.

"Xiao Chen." An unbearable sigh sounded in his ear.

Hey, this guy, he went home with me and didn't learn anything else, he just learned to be called "Xiaochen" with his parents.

"Xiaochen..." It was still saying it tirelessly.

His hands naturally hugged it back.

The person in his arms took a deep breath, and then let out a trembling whisper.

"Why did God let me meet you?"
