Chapter 1054: Chapter 924: All Assassins!_2"It’s him, take him back."

Lu Xiang said.

The ancient robots’ pupils flickered with red light; their voices were cold and monotonous, just as they had been for the past several decades, "Prisoner received, executing escort mission."

They faithfully carried out the mission entrusted to them.

But as they reached the doorway, one of the robots suddenly stopped and said in that cold mechanical voice, "Director Lu Xiang, Mother sends her regards."

......

These past few days had been difficult for Song Lan. After the incident in Lute City fermented, its impact became immediately apparent. Nearly by that same afternoon, his phone, which lacked many contacts, was stuffed with various messages. Now, it seemed like the whole world was

For the first time, it made them genuinely feel that eternal life might be achievable.

They wouldn’t need to replace their bodies or have their brains placed in cold machinery, nor would they need cloning technology to create spare bodies. Instead, they could achieve the ultimate dream that countless people have longed for, in the truest sense of the word.

The only problem now was that since that day, Song Lan and Lu Xiang had disappeared, and the external department had turned Lute City upside down without being able to find a trace of them.

"Quick, turn it off, turn the TV off!"

Song Lan grabbed a sofa cushion, aimed for the back of "Nothingness"’s head, and issued his final ultimatum.

The TV was full of assassins!

"I think I’m starting to understand."

"Nothingness" looked pensive, and only now did he understand why Song Lan had created so many fake identities to confuse others. There seemed to be many things in this world more troublesome than revenge from an enemy.

In the era he was familiar with, such concerns weren’t as prevalent, as the upper world was far too remote from the people, with the vast majority unable to ever truly interact with the deities they believed in. In the past, no upper world being would have gone so far out of their way for the "crickets", let alone destroy an entire Oasis or benefit from the outbreak of a fourth war while remaining behind the scenes.

Soon, Lu Xiang returned.

"I’ve completed the handover work."

She stretched and suggested, "Let’s have beef stew with potatoes for dinner tonight!"

Everything seemed utterly natural, as if the three of them were simply tourists visiting the Oasis.

This was a return to the old way of interaction between her and Song Lan, which "Nothingness" found dissatisfactory; he had hoped that after Lu Xiang remembered something, she would reevaluate her relationship with Song Lan — at least then, he might eat more food and less dog food in his daily life.

"Is that all?"

Finally, "Nothingness" couldn’t help but speak up, "Don’t you have anything to say to him?"

"Say what?"

Lu Xiang tilted her head, looking perplexed.

"About your relationship, of course, you two are now lovers!"

"Oh, I’ve indeed thought about this issue."

Like the common saying goes, "I see you as a comrade-in-arms, but you want to conquer me!"

But soon, she realized a problem.

Looking at the emotional trajectory, it seemed more like the Dumb Bird considered her a leader, but she ended up conquering him instead.

Hmm, that’s good.

There’s nothing that needs correction or discussion.

Instead of worrying about such things, it’s better to consider some more practical issues, "Keep an eye on Old Void later. With the look of someone traumatized and bent on seeking revenge against society, I suspect he plans to sneak Sachila into the pot when you’re not looking!"
