Bai Lixin returned to his residence and saw a mini aircraft parked near his residential area from a distance.
Under the moonlight, the black aircraft’s metal surface emitted a cold gleam.
It was hidden in the darkness, and was very inconspicuous.
Bai Lixin glanced at the window of his residence. The originally tightly closed window but now had a small gap.
Someone had entered his residence.
He hid himself in the darkness and walked into a dark alley.
After walking for a while in the alley, a mechanical voice came from behind him: “Mr. Bai Lixin.”
Bai Lixin stopped in his tracks.
Footsteps approached, and the mechanical voice continued: “Please come with us.”
Bai Lixin turned around, and the outlines of three men wearing black long uniforms gradually appeared in the darkness.
One of them had metal embedded in his face, and the mechanical voice just now came from his mouth.
Bai Lixin: “People from the palace?”
“Ah, yes.” The man with the mechanical face nodded, then quickly shook his head, “No!”
Bai Lixin was puzzled, “So, are you or aren’t you?”
The man with the mechanical face: “No, we’re not! Anyway, just come with us!”
Bai Lixin: […]
The man with the mechanical face threatened sternly, saying word for word as if reading from a textbook: “If you don’t come with us, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”
S419M: [Who wrote his script? This is not okay.]
Bai Lixin carefully examined the man with the mechanical face in front of him, feeling that something was off.
His eyes shifted to behind the man with the mechanical face, noticing a distortion in the empty air.
The suppressed killing intent seeped out like wisps of smoke, gradually dispersing towards Bai Lixin.
The anti virus program of the virtual world had caught up again.
However, perhaps because there were more people in front of him now, that invisible monster didn’t rush around like before, but instead hid in the darkness, waiting for the right moment like a sneaky thief.
Bai Lixin took a step forward, and the man with the mechanical face tensed up: “What are you doing?”
Bai Lixin: “Didn’t you want to take me? Let’s go.”
The man with the mechanical face was stunned for a moment, “Okay, okay, you know what’s good for you. Let’s go, take him away!”
When they approached Bai Lixin, one on the left and another on the right, he noticed that the anti virus program that had originally intended to approach him retreated once again.
But this time, it didn’t disappear into thin air like last time after being bumped into by Dijia, but followed them for a while.
It wasn’t until the man with the mechanical face turned back and looked around in confusion that the invisible monster completely disappeared.
Bai Lixin: “Why are you looking back?”
The man with the mechanical face scratched his head, “Nothing, I just felt like there was someone behind us, following us. But when I looked back, there was no one. Maybe I was overthinking it.”
Bai Lixin was taken onto the mysterious aircraft and disappeared into the night sky.
…
The aircraft slowly landed halfway up the mountain.
S419M: [Isn’t this the old King’s palace we visited before? Who are they fooling by saying it’s not a palace.]
Bai Lixin: [He might not know we’ve been here before.]
As the aircraft landed, Bai Lixin was brought before a person.
He had seen this person before, the eldest prince of the royal family, Dijia’s half-brother.
Before Dijia was born, he was originally the heir to the royal family. Since Dijia appeared, the status of heir to the royal family fell onto Dijia.
An idea came to Bai Lixin’s mind the moment he saw this man.
This man has a conflict of interests with Dijia.
“Are you Bai Lixin?” The eldest prince bore no resemblance to Dijia. He wasn’t ugly, but the dark circles under his eyes made him look somewhat tired and gloomy.
Bai Lixin nodded.
The eldest prince affirmed, “Someone wants to kill you.”
Bai Lixin: “You want to kill me?”
“How could that be.” The eldest prince’s smile was somewhat sinister, “I’m probably the person who wants you to stay alive the most, okay?”
“I never thought that my perfect brother who miraculously survived a disaster would actually fall in love with you in the end.”
“A commoner, a man who can’t even have children, a man who dresses as a woman to dance.”
“Hahaha, marvelous.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
The eldest prince: “You don’t seem curious at all about what my brother did after returning to the palace.”
Bai Lixin was very cooperative, “ I am quite curious.”
The eldest prince laughed happily and waved to Bai Lixin, “Stop standing there, we’re family now, it’s not proper to be so distant. Come, sit in front of me.”
Bai Lixin didn’t bother with formalities and directly sat in front of the eldest prince.
The eldest prince seemed to be nearly forty years old, quite a bit older than Dijia. He had also been involved in the crisis that nearly ruined the royal family twenty years ago.
Having lost the support of the people, even without the appearance of Dijia, he would never be able to become the heir.
But it seemed that all the reasons he couldn’t become the heir were piled onto Dijia, thinking that Dijia was the culprit who robbed him of the throne.
The eldest prince poured a cup of tea for Bai Lixin with a smile, “Speaking of which, I have to thank you.”
“If it weren’t for your appearance becoming the only stain on my brother, I would have thought he was born for the throne.”
“Tell me, how did you manage to seduce my perfect little brother?”
S419M cursed angrily: [This idiotic thing, my host is awesome, how did he become a stain? Lord Dijia can catch up with my host, it’s because he’s climbing high.]
The eldest prince looked Bai Lixin up and down, his gaze gradually becoming flirtatious, “Could it be your skills in bed? Being able to dress up as a dancer, you’re quite remarkable. And my brother turned out to like someone like you. It’s funny how he acts righteous outside every day.”
Bai Lixin: “I’m not bad at it. Do you want to try?”
The eldest prince’s eyes paused for a moment, then he shook his head quickly, “That won’t do. I can still distinguish between an interest and important matters. I won’t touch you, not only that, I’ll try to help you. After all, he’s my most beloved little brother, fraternal friendship takes precedence. I must help him.”
“He came back that day and was very secretive. I saw that he had scratches on the back of his neck, was it you?”
“You two are equally weird. He can like you, and you don’t even mind his disgusting body.”
He became more and more malicious as he spoke, as if he wanted to pour out all the grievances of these years: “To do it with a body that’s 80% metal, can you even get aroused? Did you taste the smell of oil when you kissed him?”
“I didn’t taste the oil, but there was a masculine flavor.” Bai Lixin not only didn’t get angry, but sneered, “Are you feeling happy now?”
The eldest prince: “When do I not feel happy?”
Bai Lixin: “Yes, you definitely feel unhappy everyday. That’s why you’re making a scene with me now.”
“Usually, you’re overshadowed by your little brother who could almost be your son, you must feel very unhappy, right?”
“Unhappy, but can’t say anything. After all, that’s the precious brother who saved the entire royal family, and he’s stronger than you in every way. So even if you’re unhappy, you have to greet him with a smile when you see him. Even if your old father uses you as a negative example in front of your brother every time, scolding you in front of your brother, you can only say reluctantly, ‘Father’s teachings are right’, ‘Father is right’, ‘Father’s scolding is good.’”
“You’re almost old enough to be your brother’s father, but you’re treated as a grandson by such a young brother.”
“Alas, I feel sorry for you just thinking about it.”
“It’s hard for you, too, to endure for so many years. If it were me, let alone ten years, I couldn’t even endure for a day. Go ahead and scold me, scold me hard. If scolding me can make you a little happier, I really don’t mind being scolded.”
The eldest prince’s already unhealthy complexion became even worse.
He stood up from his chair with a “bang”, slammed his hands on the table, and glared at Bai Lixin with red eyes, “You, a commoner, dare to say such things to me?! Everyone here is mine. Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you now?”
Bai Lixin lazily leaned back in his seat, saying lightly, “You won’t, didn’t you just say it? Fraternal friendship takes precedence. To fulfill your brother’s wish, you wouldn’t even lift a finger against me.”
The eldest prince was about to go mad.
He felt like a street dog cursing at people, wanting to bite but not daring to.
Taking a step back, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, but he had nowhere to vent.
Damn it, thinking about it made him even angrier.
The eldest prince waved his sleeves and walked out angrily. But halfway through, he suddenly turned back, “Do you know what my brother did when he returned to the palace?”
“Originally, Father’s intention for holding that party was to appease the people. According to the script, he should have selected a trusted girl from that group of young ladies. They would use genetic technology to impregnate her and produce a new heir.”
“Heh, do you think your good lover will really ascend to the throne? He’s no different from me, just a pawn of the royal family. I can’t ascend the throne, how can he, a waste with an incomplete body, ascend? It’s just because he’s loved by the people that his life was saved.”
“That night, he defied Father’s arrangements and ran away with you. You two were having fun, and the palace was almost in chaos, searching for him everywhere. He left for two days, returned to the palace two days later, and once again defied Father by refusing to marry the designated woman, saying that he wanted to marry the person he truly loved.”
“Father said that if he has someone he likes, he can go ahead and like them. He just needs an heir. Anyway, the princess is fake, she’ll only be married in name.”
“But my brother is a fool for love, he actually disagreed. He said even if it’s fake, it still has official credibility. He doesn’t want you to be wronged, doesn’t want you to be a lover hidden from view.”
“What’s the benefit of him doing this? The outcome will only be Father’s furious wrath, and he’ll suffer for nothing.”
The eldest prince’s eyes darkened. “I really don’t understand what’s so good about a man. He actually went this far for you.”
“Let me tell you, it’s my father, your future father-in-law, who wants to kill you now. If he wants to do something, there’s no such thing as failure. If you still want to live, you better stay here honestly, don’t go anywhere, otherwise I can’t guarantee your little life.”
“Hold on.” Seeing the eldest prince about to leave, Bai Lixin called out to him, “Where is Dijia now?”
The eldest prince snorted coldly. “Now you remember to ask. Who knows, maybe he’s in some dark and damp dungeon undergoing some messy modification.”
He pointed to his chest. ”In that car accident, he even lost his heart. For the next two years, he was kept alive with artificial organs. Although later he got an artificial intelligence body, the remote control to control his AI body is in my father’s hands. If my father wants to cut off the artificial heart in his chest, my perfect little brother will die immediately.”
“He’s not even an independent person. The man you love is just a remote-controlled puppet.”
“As long as that remote control is in my father’s hands, he will never escape my father’s control.”
“He will eventually compromise.”
“Or maybe he won’t compromise in the end, but my father still has ways. He can smash Dijia’s brainstem, make him lose the ability to think, and turn him into a complete puppet.”
“The reason my father hasn’t done this so far is simply because the robot’s expressions aren’t lively enough to deceive the public.”
