Fang Qi looked toward the direction of the B1 floor door, slightly lost in thought.
His parents...
Had they also turned into that?
Turned into those expressionless, emotionless puppets?
He gritted his teeth slightly.
Even though the parents in this world weren't his real parents...
But their names and appearances were exactly the same as his parents from his own world!
If they had really turned out like this, it still made him feel a bit...
...Wait a minute.
No!
Fang Qi suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Among the "ghosts" that Liguang's crimson eyes couldn't detect, there weren't just these soulless puppets!
...There was also Gu Xi!
The beautiful police officer!
The matchmaker!
Was Gu Xi the same kind of person as them?
She was also a "ghost"!
Also an existence that Liguang's crimson eyes couldn't detect, but...
She had emotions!
Very rich, very intense emotions!
She would panic when she realized she had misspoken!
She would close her eyes and tremble when threatened with "assault"!
She would tell him to "get the hell out of this world" when revealing the truth!
Her emotions were so real, so abundant, like a burning flame!
She and those people outside, and that man who looked like Lin Xiaoyou's father...
Were too different!
Fang Qi frowned.
If Gu Xi and those "ghosts" were the same type of existence, then why...
Was the difference between them so huge?
Gu Xi had emotions, they had none.
Gu Xi was a living, breathing person, they were empty shells.
Moreover...
Gu Xi had a legitimate job.
She was a police officer!
This job couldn't be more legitimate!
The police ID pulled from Gu Xi's pocket clearly stated her badge number and unit!
She was indeed an active police officer, an official law enforcement agent!
This was absolutely certain!
She had always been a police officer!
Whether in the game My Yandere Mechanical Wife, or in this inexplicable world!
But those people outside the door...
Although they held firearms, they didn't seem to be police.
They wore uniform dark outfits, but there were no organizational logos on their uniforms.
They looked more like...
They belonged to some mysterious organization?
Not police...
Wait...
Fang Qi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
...Police?
Hmm...?
Hiss?!
Fang Qi suddenly remembered something!
Did the police have anything to do with Lin Zhouyuan?
...They did!
In Lin Xiaoyou's own account!
Back then in the hospital, when her father's body was about to be wheeled away, she tried to reach out and grab it...
But someone stopped her!
By who?
By the police!
In her story...
The police said the matter was of great importance, and they hadn't ruled out foul play, so they confiscated the body first!
"Police...?"
Fang Qi muttered.
Which meant that the aftermath of that car crash was handled by the police!
His parents' bodies, Lin Zhouyuan's body, the bodies of those researchers...
All of them were taken away by the police.
And now...
Gu Xi, an active police officer, was a "ghost" with emotions and self-awareness.
Outside the door, Lin Zhouyuan, who had died and been taken away by the police, had become an emotionless, empty-shell-like "ghost."
And they all seemed... to have been attracted by Gu Xi's death.
...?
This...
Fang Qi felt his mind was in absolute chaos.
Was this a coincidence?
Or was he overthinking it?
Fang Qi stared blankly in the direction they had come from.
But right at that moment—
Behind him, a crimson light suddenly flashed!
The entire room was bathed in red for a split second!
...?!
Fang Qi shuddered slightly.
Huh?!
"...Master...!"
Liguang's trembling voice sounded from behind him.
Her voice was shaking violently!
Fang Qi instantly snapped back to reality!
He whipped around to look at Liguang!
What happened?!
He saw the silver-haired girl still kneeling in front of the alloy door.
The bright yellow laptop was still on her lap.
But her delicate hands, the hands that had just been typing furiously on the keyboard...
Were now frozen above the keys.
Her fingers were stiff and trembling slightly... Her body was also shaking, causing the laptop on her knees to wobble slightly!
It was as if she had been electrocuted!
She was staring fixedly at the laptop screen!
In her crimson eyes, the red light was flashing wildly! It was almost suppressing the deep blue in her amber pupils!
...Ah?!
Fang Qi was instantly alarmed!
What was going on?!
Why was his wife suddenly acting like this?!
"What's wrong, Liguang!"
He closed the distance in two large strides and immediately leaned in next to Liguang!
Bending down, he looked at the screen of the bright yellow laptop!
And then...
He froze slightly.
...Huh?
What is this...?
On the screen, there were no longer those colorful codes he couldn't understand.
Instead, it was an image.
A cat?
A cat making a funny face, rolling its eyes... with an expression just as punchable as Lin Xiaoyou's!
And this punchable cat was currently occupying the dead center of the screen!
Its tongue was sticking way out, its paw was pulling down its lower eyelid, and its eyes were rolled back so far only the whites showed!
And right below this picture was a paragraph of...
Pink text?
The font was round and crooked, exactly that kind of... cute handwriting stylized text:
[Little Liguang, you're not good enough, you still need practice~]
[You can't handle your big sister Xiaoyou's laptop, you're still a bit too green~]
[Next time we meet, remember to kneel down and beg me nicely, and I might just reluctantly help you~]
[Or... Little Liguang, you can figure out how to unlock this second door yourself~]
[I definitely don't want my several days of hard work to be used by a certain love rival!]
[Bleh bleh bleh~]
[Embarrassed yourself in front of Master, didn't you~]
[Bleh bleh bleh~]
...Hah?
Fang Qi stared blankly at the lines of text on the screen.
...Seriously?
His brain was trembling.
He stared wide-eyed at the eye-rolling cat on the screen, completely speechless.
You...
She...
This laptop...!
"Bzzzt—!"
A harsh buzzing sound of electric current!
The screen of the bright yellow laptop suddenly began to flicker violently!
Wisps of black smoke began pouring out from the seams around the screen's edge!
Fang Qi's pupils shrank drastically!
But Liguang remained kneeling in place, unmoving.
She stared fixedly at the flickering text on the laptop, trembling even harder!
Holy crap!
Fang Qi didn't have time to think; he grabbed the laptop in one swift motion!
Feeling the heat in his palm, he swung his arm hard, ripping out the cables connected to the laptop...
And hurled it away fiercely!
The laptop traced an arc through the air!
"Smash!"
It crashed directly onto the metal floor a few meters away!
And then—
"Boom!"
Instantly, flames erupted from the laptop!
The bright yellow casing quickly melted and deformed in the fire!
Those cartoon stickers curled up and blackened in the intense heat!
The screen was burned until it shattered, spraying fragments all over the floor!
"Bang!!"
Another muffled explosion!
The little laptop blew up into a ball of fire on the spot!
Fragments of components were blasted everywhere, a few landing right by Fang Qi's feet.
Sparks scattered across the floor, and black smoke began to spread!
The pungent smell of burning plastic and metal filled the air!
Fang Qi was genuinely shocked.
He stared dumbfounded at the fireball that was still burning.
He lowered his head and glanced at the silver-haired girl beside him, who was still kneeling on the ground, her body trembling slightly.
Her two small hands were clenched tight!
...Now he knew.
His wife was furious.
She had been infuriated by Lin Xiaoyou again!
No, wait...
Fang Qi's eyes twitched wildly!
Lin Xiaoyou, you freaking...!
You aren't even here, yet you still managed to provoke Liguang?!
Moreover...
He abruptly turned his head back, staring straight at the still-burning flames!
What he found most unbelievable was...
When did she leave this message?!
This notebook seemed to have been left here by Lin Xiaoyou a long time ago, right?!
In the last loop, when they came here for the first time...
This notebook was already hanging on the door like this!
But...
Is this right?
That can't be right?!
At that time, Lin Xiaoyou hadn't confessed her background to him in the secret room yet!
Nor had she sat on that single sofa and scolded Liguang, saying what a waste of a maid outfit!
Huh?
That day...
Fang Qi thought hard.
After he rewound time, Lin Xiaoyou immediately asked him out to eat!
They had morning tea for a long time, and then street-raced for over an hour before arriving here!
So, after the save point on the ninth day, which was after that cup of tea at seven in the morning on the ninth day...
She absolutely had no time to put this notebook here!
Therefore, before the morning of the ninth day, before this morning...
It was already attached to this door!
In other words, when nothing had happened yet, when he didn't even know Lin Xiaoyou's identity...
Before Lin Xiaoyou's massive gamble, before she was even truly sure she would wake up from the dream...
She had already placed a notebook here that would ruthlessly provoke Liguang?!
She had anticipated it long ago, that a few loops later...
Liguang would come to crack this notebook?!
So as early as several loops ago...
She had already set up this trap in advance?!
And waited for Liguang from a few loops later to crack it, ultimately...
Mocking her entirely?!
Fang Qi stared straight at the fire...
Feeling a bit dizzy.
His scalp also tingled.
So...
Is this the gap between him and a genius?
Fang Qi felt like he was losing his mind.
Well...
Sister Xiaoyou, my respects to you.
You are the bigger person, please stop bullying my Liguang.
Otherwise...
I'll freaking...!
I really won't be able to hold back from telling you a story about rewinding time!
Fang Qi gritted his teeth.
This is really too much!
All you do all day is show off your IQ!
Show off, show off, show off!
What is there to show off!
It's too much!
You are smart!
But I'm basically using cheats!
If you keep doing this, I'm going to directly sanction you!
At this moment, the silver-haired girl who had been kneeling on the ground finally moved.
She slowly turned around, her knees inching little by little on the metal floor, turning toward Fang Qi...
Looking straight up at him.
Her lips were trembling.
In her amber pupils, that faint blue data stream was still surging violently.
The faint blue was even slightly out of control!
The scarlet in her red eyes dimmed.
Mas...ter...
Her voice was trembling.
Deep self-blame!
...It is all... Liguang's fault.
She lowered her head, her slender shoulders also trembling.
It was Liguang... who underestimated Miss Lin too much.
Her hands clenched into small fists, even bunching up the hem of her white short skirt!
Fang Qi: ...
Wifey, how could I blame you for this!
At least you can seriously play a game of chess with that maniac.
And me?
The skill gap is so massive that I just want to use cheats to smite her...
He immediately comforted her:
Liguang, you don't need to...
But...!
The silver-haired girl suddenly looked up again, staring straight at Fang Qi!
In her eyes, the faint blue and scarlet flashed simultaneously!
Master doesn't need to worry!
Even without this notebook, Liguang can still crack this door!
Her tone was hurried, her pretty face looking very anxious!
What took Lin You days to crack, Liguang can do in a few hours at most—!
Clack!
A heavy sound suddenly came from the direction of the B1 entrance!
Interrupting Liguang's words!
That was the sound of metal colliding with metal.
Dull and heavy.
Immediately after...
BZZZ—!!!
A massive low-frequency humming sound came from the same direction!
Deep and penetrating!
The roar of some large machine's engine being started!
It shook the floor of the entire B1 level, causing it to tremble slightly!
Fang Qi could feel the vibration beneath his feet!
The silver-haired girl's body instantly trembled violently!
Her unfinished words were abruptly caught in her throat!
She abruptly turned her head, staring intently in the direction of the B1 entrance!
Fang Qi also turned his head at the same time!
His pupils shrank suddenly!
That is...
The vibration sound of a thermal cutting machine?
...Did it just start?
Or...
Has it already cut through?!
