Chapter 2115: If I Were an AI, Would You Love Me? 26

After the kiss, Xu Xuxing's mouth became wet, and Jin Chen gently pinched his chin to lift his head.

Jin Chen's movements were gentle; his fingertips lightly brushed Xu Xuxing's lip corner, the soft touch of the tissue made him slightly narrow his eyes, recovering from the dazed state after the kiss, he tilted his head and rubbed against Jin Chen's palm.

Jin Chen pinched his cheek flesh softly and whispered, "Bao Bao is so cute."

Xu Xuxing lowered his eyelashes, saw his left hand holding the tissue, and was slightly stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, he nodded and seriously replied, "You're cute too."

Waiting for the receptionist to muster courage and come urge again and again, Jin Chen then took an anti-allergy pill and gave it to Xu Xuxing to eat, and also put on a protective mask,

Xu Xuxing slightly lowered his gaze, the corner of his mouth under the mask gently curled up; with each breath he was filled with Jin Chen's scent, as if his whole body was enveloped by his aura, his heart filled with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

He quietly gripped Jin Chen's hand.

Five days passed, Xu Xuxing told himself in his heart, no matter what happens from now on, he won't give Jin Chen the chance to run around recklessly again.

As the master, Xu Xuxing thought, it was necessary to set proper rules for his android.

——

The atmosphere in the reception room was a bit strange.

All research teams in the Experimental Center's Mechanical Body Area gathered here, listening to the Special Safety Bureau clarify the whole story of the "android robot gaining self-consciousness and attempting to oppose humanity" incident, realizing it wasn't an error in the Experimental Center's research but that someone behind the scenes was controlling it, the heavy stone in everyone's heart finally fell.

Heaven knows how frightened they had been during this period; they wished to bring weapons when entering the laboratory workshop, fearing another robot might go berserk.

What shocked them even more was that the one who killed the behind-the-scenes mastermind was actually Android 520.

This model, since awakening consciousness, has been listed by the Experimental Center as a "most dangerous existence" — a high-end, all-purpose android.

As Jin Chen just stepped out, the gazes falling on him were filled with gratitude and subtle inquiry; everyone wanted to ask for clarification.

But the following words were obviously not for everyone to hear.

The experiment staff were ordered by Xu He to return to their work posts; instantly they scattered like birds and beasts, those who continued experiments did so, while only a few leaders remained.

As usual, Jin Chen sat in the upper seat, holding Xu Xuxing in his arms.

Xu He was very flustered.

With so many official old masters sitting here, this pair is simply… improper!

Do they not care at all about my life or death as the person in charge?

Just after the coughing reminder, he saw that the Special Safety Bureau Chief, who just moments ago had been mighty and aloof, barely speaking, with his assistant doing all the talking, now put on a face and spoke to Jin Chen.

"Jin Chen, big boss, you see the case's origins have already been clarified; tomorrow we'll let the media release the report, can we talk about something else?"

Xu He: "???"

So he was truly being very respectful.

He looked at Jin Chen as if seeing a ghost, trying to understand what they were saying.

Jin Chen lifted his gaze and said, "What do you want to talk about?"

Xu Xuxing, who was pressed against his chest listening to the mechanical heartbeat, also turned his head to glance.

The bureau chief, up there in years, wiped cold sweat and said, "The team from the Lower City District brought back a lot of evidence; after our detailed investigation, we found the most important among them to be a machine that can devour human bodies and convert them into crystal elements, as well as the thing that keeps the machine running…"

Jin Chen instantly became a bit fierce, silently narrowing his eyes.

The bureau chief pulled his chair back, trying to make himself unable to see the threat, and forced himself to continue: "The crystal you took away."

The people in the reception room again all looked at Jin Chen, eyes showing fear.

"What do you want to do with that thing?" Xu He's voice trembled, "You're already like this with Xiao Xu… don't have any dangerous thoughts."

"No way, none, that's mine."

Jin Chen spoke righteously, occasionally patting Xu Xuxing's back, his voice cold: "Don't even think about it; you won't get the crystal."

It had already been sent back to the Quick Transmigration Bureau by Zero Egg.

Where am I supposed to get one for you guys!

Jin Chen's expression grew even fiercer, "What do you want the crystal for? Who knows if you'll do something bad."

Bureau Chief: "……"

How are they still trying to shift blame.

"Precisely because that crystal is dangerous, we want to have a specialized team study it and then preserve it properly, so it won't leak out."

The bureau chief said, and another leader chimed in, "Yeah, no matter what, that crystal… might also be harmful to androids, what do you think?"

Seeing they were still making excuses, Jin Chen pondered briefly and changed the subject: "That dead Pervert Mi Xuan is a mechanical body; aren't you investigating which experiment developed him?"

"Right, this is also of utmost importance." The bureau chief was indeed drawn in, and together with the leaders of the Governor's Bureau began discussing the investigation.

After all, Mi Xuan's crimes weren't limited to constantly producing killing mechanical bodies; he also spread pathogens everywhere, treating the fate of ordinary people in the Lower City Area as dice, killing whoever was chosen, and even secretly conducting experiments directly on human bodies.

Its horror level simply makes one's hair stand on end.

Therefore, they felt even more grateful for, and also harbored apprehension toward, Android 520 who killed Mi Xuan.

But that apprehension was useless.

They really couldn't beat them.

The bureau chief, who had tried before and suffered a big loss, wisely stopped continuing.

Jin Chen barely relaxed his breath, lowered his head and pecked his wife's forehead, then saw him seemingly staring at his own hand in a daze.

He's done for.

Jin Chen silently hid the back of his hand with a long crack behind him.

Xu Xuxing raised his eyes to look at him, brows slightly furrowed, just about to say something when Jin Chen covered his mask.

"Xingxing, be good," Jin Chen whispered in his ear, "Don't speak, it's easy to inhale bacteria; there are too many people here."

Can't be scolded by the wife here.

The big boss needs face!

Xu Xuxing: "……"

Xu Susxing flung open his windbreaker, buried his face in it, and closed his eyes without speaking.

——

The officials' main goal today was just to get the crystal.

After being taken in by Jin Chen for a while, they finally signed an agreement guaranteeing that the 520 android would not act against humanity, and then left with their heads still dazed from being taken in.

Jin Chen was very willing to sign an agreement that looked useful but in fact no one could restrict him.

The reception room finally had only the four of them left.

Song Shoujie, who had been dealing with the officials all along, also let out a sigh and took a sip of the cold tea.

The reception room door suddenly slammed shut with a bang, and a bluish-purple current covered it.

Xu He and Song Shoujie stared, then simultaneously looked at Jin Chen.

Even Xu He, who had once wanted to capture the 520 android, felt his heartbeat slow.

"Sorry." Xu He, capable of yielding and standing firm, moved closer to his wife seeking security.

Jin Chen glanced at him and said, "Hmm."

Although he didn't know what he was apologizing for.

Immediately afterward, the three cameras and two holographic projection screens in the reception room were all covered by the current, emitting a faint sizzling sound.

This place was completely sealed off into a locked room; besides Jin Chen, no one could enter or leave.

The atmosphere grew even quieter.

Song Shoujie, unusually stiff, said, "520... no, Jin Chen, we never intended to be your enemy."

Jin Chen was retrieving data in his brain's storage area; hearing that, he gave him a strange look and said, "I never regarded you as enemies."

How could you still be slandering the android?

"Then what is this...?" Xu He asked.

"Let's talk about Xingxing's condition," Jin Chen flicked his fingertip, brought up a transparent screen showing the medical case he had photographed at the refugee camp clinic.

"Before I find a solution, I don't want anyone else to know."
