ATFBETIBM Chapter 492.2

Body of Steel 25

Dijia returned to the bed with the ointment, held Bai Lixin’s chin with one hand and raised his face. He dipped the index finger of one hand in the ointment, and slowly applied the ointment to Bai Lixin’s lips.

He applied the medicine very slowly and with ambiguous movements. While applying the medicine, Dijia would often look at Bai Lixin, which made Bai Lixin involuntarily think of the electric massage last night, and his face instinctively turned red.

The Third Duke just stood at the door in a daze, watching his fiancée and a robot flirting intimately in front of him, feeling that the green hat on his head had became tighter: “…”

After the robot finished applying the medicine, he said in the direction of the door: “Go.”

The Third Duke turned around to follow the medical robot.

“Third Duke, stay.” The cold robotic abruptly interrupted the Third Duke’s escape route. “Come with me and my master for a walk.”

The Third Duke subconsciously looked at Bai Lixin, who turned his head helplessly . “…”

In the following time, Bai Lixin was “taken” out for a walk right on time.

Bai Lixin seriously suspected that Dijia didn’t want to go on a walk, but rather, he wanted to show off his “master” to everyone.

He was held in Dijia’s arms, watching helplessly as Dijia walked through the garden and every corridor of the palace.

Along the way, he saw many people, and many people saw him.

It wasn’t until Dijia had circled the palace with Bai Lixin in his arms that he kindly allowed the pitifully pale Third Duke to leave.

After lunch, Dijia held Bai Lixin to bask in the sun in the corridor.

The warm sunlight shone on Dijia, enveloping his hole body in a soft yellow glow, softening the contours of his features.

This was the only time of day when Dijia looked gentle and easygoing.

After hesitating for two seconds, Bai Lixin spoke up, “Dijia, would you like to go somewhere with me this afternoon?”

Dijia’s eyes softened at this moment, “Where to, master.”

Bai Lixin: “To the registration area for the love District.”

The robot paused for a moment, then his voice suddenly turned chilly, “Oh, that registration area for Love District where you and the Duke formed a CP, are you interested in that place?”

Bai Lixin: “…”

This was robot-yin yang-Dijia.

“Well, actually, the Duke and I have nothing to do with each other,” Bai Lixin felt the need to explain something, otherwise robot Dijia would keep being awkward, “I don’t like him at all, we’ve never even held hands.”

Robot-yin yang-Dijia: “You want to hold hands?”

Bai Lixin: “…”

“But it’s good that you said you don’t like the Duke,” the robot stared at Bai Lixin meaningfully, “I don’t have to worry about the hassle of dealing with a corpse.”

Bai Lixin: “???”

‘What do you mean? Are you planning to kill the Third Duke?’

Bai Lixin looked at the robot, filled with doubts.

He really wanted to know what had happened to Dijia.

He had turned from a person into a robot, and at first glance, his behavior seemed like that of a robot straight off the assembly line, but if you delved into his language, you could tell it was all a façade.

He was completely different from other robots.

Other robots had human protection programs added to their programming and wouldn’t harm humans, but Dijia had hinted that he once wanted to destroy the world.

He had also tried asking Dijia these questions, how did he become a robot, and who kept him in the lab for a whole eighty years.

But every time it came to this, Dijia either pretended not to hear or brushed it off, never giving him any useful information.

The members of the royal family had even less to dig into. Whenever Dijia was mentioned, they looked like they were about to faint, and Dijia never gave him or those members of the royal family a chance to be alone together.

Since Dijia was taken from the experimental base, he had almost never left his side, never letting him out of his sight.

Although it felt great to get along with this kind of robot Dijia, Bai Lixin had never forgotten what he had to do.

This was the deepest level of the virtual world, he had to take Dijia through the firewall and back to the previous level of the world.

The Dijia on the upper level is the captain of the spaceship, and only when he wakes up can he pilot the spaceship away.

Some secrets might remain secrets forever, and he might not know everything.

Since robot Dijia was unwilling to tell him about the past, let these secrets be buried in the soil and never see the light of day.

Bai Lixin reached out and held Dijia’s wrist, his voice subconsciously heavier as he said again, “I must go to the Love District, Dijia.”

Hearing his serious tone, robot Dijia, looked at him deeply and finally nodded, “Okay, master.”

In the evening, as the two were preparing to leave in the aircraft, they both noticed a figure creeping up on them.

Mr. Kayla knew he had been discovered but didn’t try to hide, stepping out of the shadows with a boldness, “Xin, take me with you, please.”

Knowing what it meant once he went to the Love District, Bai Lixin pondered for two seconds before saying, “Mr. Kayla, I asked you before, if this world is not real, would you want to wake up. At that time, your answer was no, and now I ask you the same question again, has your answer changed?”

Mr. Kayla looked at Bai Lixin hesitantly, and once again asked the same question, “Will there be my lover in the real world?”

Bai Lixin: “It’s possible, but it might also not be possible, everything is unknown.”

This answer was also the one he had given before, but unlike the firm denial last time, this time Mr. Kayla’s eyes suddenly brightened, “It’s possible, but it might also not be possible, so there’s a 50% chance my lover will be there, right? If it’s really as you say, then I’m willing to wake up in the real world, at least I’ll still have a chance to find my lover again.”

The same question, the same conditions, but different answers in the end.

Bai Lixin didn’t insist after getting this answer and agreed to let Mr. Kayla board the aircraft.

This time, the aircraft didn’t stop at the gate of the registration area of the Love District , but landed directly on the rooftop.

Robot Dijia didn’t let Bai Lixin’s feet touch the ground, and got off the aircraft with Bai Lixin in his arms.

Bai Lixin directed Dijia to the location of the firewall. Dijia carried Bai Lixin to the edge of the high rooftop without any questions, just holding the young man in his arms steadily.

On the contrary, Mr. Kayla panicked, afraid that robot Dijia would take Bai Lixin with him to die for love.

It wasn’t until he saw Bai Lixin hovering in mid-air in a strange trajectory that Mr. Kayla’s expression of horror suddenly turned to shock, “What is that, Xin?”

Bai Lixin could already feel his body being pulled towards the other side of the firewall, and he quickly shouted to Mr. Kayla, “Come here, Mr. Kayla, you wanted to go to the real world, right? I’ll take you there now!”

After saying this, Bai Lixin felt a strong force pulling him into the black hole. It all happened so fast. He only knew that he had caught Dijia, but he didn’t know whether Mr. Kayla had followed.

…..

“Xin God!”

“Xin God!”

“Answer me quickly, Xin God! Are you okay in there?!”

The pounding of metal accompanied by muffled shouts roared in his ears. Bai Lixin frowned and opened his eyes, finding himself back in that narrow cockpit.

He was about to call out to Li Cangshan who was shouting outside to report that he was safe when suddenly, a dangerous breath suddenly came from his side, and his mouth was covered by the other person.

Almost instinctively, Bai Lixin subconsciously raised his hand to resist.

He was quick, but the other person was not slow either.

Bai Lixin instinctively grabbed the other person’s neck, while the other person’s iron-like hand grasped Bai Lixin’s wrist.

With his hand controlled, Bai Lixin resorted to using his legs.

As soon as his leg was raised halfway, the other person’s leg rushed over and directly pressed Bai Lixin’s leg underneath.

Bai Lixin struggled to pull his leg out, but as soon as he did, the other person’s leg followed suit, pressing Bai Lixin even tighter.

The broad shoulder pressed tightly against him, and Bai Lixin could even feel the other person’s faint breath and exhalation.

He wanted to tell the other person that he was Bai Lixin, but the other person tightly covered his mouth, not giving him a chance to speak.

In the narrow egg-shaped container, the two bodies fought desperately, not giving in.

As they struggled, Bai Lixin’s hand accidentally pressed against the wall, and the metal egg that had been closed suddenly opened as if it had touched a switch.

The sudden onslaught of light revealed the scene in the cramped cockpit.

The beautiful young man lay somewhat disheveled in the cockpit, and above him, a man lay over him in an extremely ambiguous posture.

The young man’s face flushed red, and his arms were held by the man with one hand and placed on top of his head, while the man’s other hand firmly covered the young man’s lips, making the young man unable to do anything but glare at the man above with a pair of bright eyes.

Compared to the young man’s disheveled clothes, the long-haired man with a well-proportioned figure seemed much more composed. He used his legs to secure the young man’s body, with a seemingly ambiguous smile on his face.

Li Cangshan instinctively turned his head away, “…”

‘Save me, save me, save me.’

When the light came in, the man glanced at the young man beneath him, the flash of regret in his eyes was immediately replaced by fake surprise and he said exaggeratedly, “Oh, it’s actually you beside me, master. I almost accidentally harmed you, I’m so sorry.”

Bai Lixin: “Mmmmm.”

‘Let go of my mouth!’

The man seemed to have just realized that he had covered the young man’s mouth. He quickly retracted his hand from Bai Lixin’s body and quietly climbed off him, his face still wearing a faint smile of satisfaction.

Bai Lixin adjusted his clothes and gave the man a cold glance, “You really didn’t recognize me?”

The man’s face remained calm, his heart not fluctuating even a bit, “It’s so dark inside, how could I know it was you? I thought it was some little thief trying to ambush me.”

Bai Lixin pulled his collar forcefully.

‘Fart!

I don’t believe you!’

Li Cangshan: “…”

‘Save me, save me.’

A few minutes later, Bai Lixin finally straightened out his clothes and began to carefully examine the long-haired man in front of him, tentatively asking, “Do you remember who you are?”

The long-haired man smiled faintly, his voice tinged with a slight robotic tone, “I remember.”

Bai Lixin: “Do you remember everything?”

The long-haired man: “After falling asleep, I should have entered another dimension of the virtual world, where I spent a long time. Thank you for leading me out of that virtual world.”

“You could say you’re my savior, so as a repayment, I’m willing to continue our relationship and continue to regard you as my master.”

“I hope our time together will be as pleasant as before.”

Bai Lixin: “? I don’t have any special interest in being a master.”

The long-haired man smiled very calmly, “But I do.”

Bai Lixin: “…”

‘You’re indeed up to no good!

I knew it!’

Bai Lixin hesitated for a moment and asked, “So what are you now… exactly?”

When the other party spoke, although very slight, he still caught the faint robotic tone in his voice.

This kind of voice doesn’t seem like something a human could produce.

Captain Dijia: “Let me introduce myself again. I am the holographic control system of this spaceship. You can also understand that I am this spaceship, and this spaceship is me. Only I can pilot this spaceship.”

Bai Lixin: “…”

‘Wow, after leaving the virtual world and coming here, it turns out he’s still a robot.’

“If you’re the spaceship, and you are now awake, can you pilot the spaceship back to the Dark Steel City?” Li Cangshan immediately looked at Captain Dijia upon hearing this, urging, “We need to speed up, time waits for no one.”

Li Cangshan originally thought it was a sure thing, but Captain Dijia shook his head, “It’s not possible now.”

“The fuel inside this spaceship is almost running out, and this energy is simply not enough to support the spaceship’s return to the Dark Steel City. We are surrounded by large and small asteroid belts and space debris. The current location where the spaceship is parked happens to be the safest area, in a delicate balance with the outer asteroid belt.”

“Once the spaceship is activated, it will be trapped in the asteroid belt and constantly attacked by asteroids. Not only will you be unable to return to the Dark Steel City, but the spaceship will also be destroyed along with you.”

Li Cangshan quickly calmed down, “Is there any solution? How to replenish the energy system?”

Long-haired Dijia: “There are two ways. One is to deploy a small spacecraft. The energy in this spaceship can only support one small spacecraft to safely return to the ground. In other words, only one person can leave.”

Li Cangshan frowned slightly, “What about the second method?”

Dijia: “The second method is a bit difficult, which is to find new energy sources.”

Li Cangshan: “That’s good. How do we find energy sources?”

Dijia: “Three days later, a fragment of a solar flare will pass through here. Solar flares are full of energy. As long as we intercept the solar flare fragment, we can replenish enough energy for this spaceship, and then I can pilot the spaceship to leave here.”

“But this method is relatively difficult. To capture the solar flare fragment, a special capture device is needed, this device is stored in the warehouse area at the rear of the spaceship.”

“After obtaining the capture device, we also need to pass through the dangerous asteroid belt.”

“I can do it!” Li Cangshan immediately patted his chest, “I can pass through the asteroid belt. I’ve flown airplanes for many years before. These asteroid belts are no different from air obstacles to me. Leave it to me. Then we just need to go to the warehouse area to get the capture device.”

Dijia’s eyes darkened, “The difficult part is not passing through the asteroid belt, but getting the capture device from the warehouse area.”

“This spaceship originally had sufficient energy reserves. Some time ago, space species suddenly invaded this spaceship.”

“Their food is energy. After devouring the energy, they quickly grow and reproduce rapidly. I had to use the spare energy to lure them all to the rear warehouse area to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.”

Li Cangshan looked at Dijia, “Can’t you kill those space creatures? Aren’t you always very powerful?”

Dijia’s eyes flashed with confusion, but he still told the truth, “I tried to attack them, but these space creatures are silicon-based life forms that can undergo unlimited division. Every cell in their bodies is independent, without any fatal weaknesses. I need fire to completely burn them to death, but they ate up the energy, and flame attacks require a lot of energy.”

Bai Lixin and Li Cangshan looked at each other, understanding Dijia’s unfinished meaning.

The nemesis of space creatures is fire attacks, but the current lack of energy on the spaceship makes fire attacks impossible to use, so they can’t kill the space creatures.

So he could only choose to lure the space creatures into the warehouse area and lock them up.

“Once the energy runs out, this spaceship will completely lose its propulsion system. At that time, the hatch containing the space creatures will also open, and those space creatures will crawl out and attack every living thing on this spaceship. To further reduce energy consumption, I chose to put the spaceship into hibernation mode, retaining only the necessary energy expenditure for the spaceship.”

“If I were still asleep, the remaining energy should be able to support for about 30 days, but now I’m awake.”

Li Cangshan: “What happens when you wake up?”

“When I wake up, the remaining energy will only last for three days.”

“If we can’t obtain the solar flare fragment three days later, the ship will be destroyed and everyone on board will die. No when will be spared, neither me nor any life forms on this spaceship.”

Dijia glanced in Bai Lixin’s direction, “Master, although we cannot be born on the same year, month, and day, we can die on the same year, month, and day, isn’t that romantic?”

Bai Lixin: “…”

‘This romance is unnecessary.’
