DCBS: Chapter 123

At the end of the corridor, under the same moonlight, the No 5 representative of the main brain stood quietly in front of the window. The ponytail tied behind his head was rendered silver by the night.

It saw a world that was different from what the native humans saw. Behind the scenery were flowing data particles and the night sky was like a jigsaw puzzle full of cracks.

No 5 could sense the location of System 0587. It was a corridor not far away and he was with the protagonist of the world.

He could also perceive the strong will that was flickering in the protagonist of this world, flowing and surging in the dense data and triggering another harsh alarm.

Still, he didn’t go in that direction immediately.

No 5 took off his sunglasses, revealing eyes that looked similar to ordinary beings. However, there were no fluctuations inside. It was the most awe-inspiring mechanical texture.

He looked at the moon hanging high in this world.

The buildings under the moonlight were layered like an ocean of rich ink, rippling away to places out of sight.

Orange lights flickered in countless tiny windows.

Once the burning breath left his eyes, Ji Tong’s pale cheeks flushed slightly. He looked away and said stubbornly, “I didn’t cry.”

He never cried. Today was almost an exception.

Fortunately, the tears disappeared before they fell.

“Yes,” Pei Qingyuan responded cooperatively. “You aren’t crying.”

Thinking of the kiss just now, Ji Tong couldn’t continue to be angry. He could only sit on the steps and hug his knees, lowering his head not to look at the other person. “I already have a Xiao Mei.”

Pei Qingyuan also sat beside him and said in a serious tone, “I am smarter than the other Xiao Mei.”

In such a heavy atmosphere, Ji Tong was originally sad. He couldn’t help wanting to laugh when he heard Pei Qingyuan comparing himself with a stupid AI.

Ji Tong whispered, “You don’t know my Xiao Mei.”

“Our consciousness is connected. Perhaps I saw it in a dream,” Pei Qingyuan said. “It doesn’t matter if I don’t know. Just listening to the name, I think it should be stupid.”

Perhaps because he wanted to coax Ji Tong but Pei Qingyuan’s words became long tonight. It wasn’t at all like his usual lack of words.

There was finally a bit of laughter in Ji Tong’s voice. He raised his head and retorted, “Xiao Yuan is stupid just by listening to the name.”

Pei Qingyuan also smiled. “So I prefer Ruan Ruan.”

In front of the window with a cool night breeze, two figures sat side by side. Beside the mottled corners of their clothes, Ji Tong’s hand instinctively fell into the palm of the person around him and was quietly held.

“Ruan Ruan.”

“Yes.”

“What were you thinking when I first called you Ruan Ruan?”

That night, high school student Pei Qingyuan had been sitting at his desk. The small room was full of another person’s things and his biased mother didn’t even give him an affectionate name.

So Ji Tong wanted to comfort him in this way.

“I was thinking that it was the wrong pronunciation.” Pei Qingyuan’s voice was clear. “It turns out that the seemingly intelligent system will also mispronounce words.”
