Chapter 1268: Connection

That doesn't matter; what matters is that we now have this technology.

Nuomi, once it's gone, it's really gone.

Have you never regretted it? How can we be sure Grandfather won't regret?

The current choice is the best choice.

Besides, we still have Grandmother; we need to think for Grandmother.

Grandfather has passed; what will they do?

Yang Nuolan can make up countless reasons; anyway, she has an assistance system.

There will always be one suitable for Yang Nuomi.

Yang Nuomi snorted.

I can't argue with you.

One day you'll feel that living isn't necessarily good; haven't you heard the saying that the human world is purgatory?

Is Grandfather's current state perhaps hell?

Her expression was a bit forlorn.

Yang Qing's outcome greatly affected her.

He was such a person, yet in the end he had this result.

Yang Nuomi also didn't want immortality.

The human world is just like that; by now she's had enough fun, and continuing would bore her.

Coming in naked, leaving naked—that is the perfect ending.

Yang Nuolan stood up.

How could that be hell?

The whole virtual world keeps him company playing; how is that hell?

Do you want to see the virtual world Grandfather played?

Extreme Bliss World, in which he had the Red Chamber World, embracing left and right.

Gangdao World, in which he clung to someone's Red Sister's thigh and wouldn't let go.

Ming Dynasty World, in which he stole away someone's Empress Ma.

Yang Nuolan said a sentence, and Yang Nuomi's face reddened a bit.

Finally she looked left and right.

Grandfather's games are still quite exciting.

Yang Nuolan scoffed.

Men are all the same.

Their lust knows no age.

In reality, he suppresses himself for his persona, but in the virtual world his true nature shows.

That's why I say his choice isn't necessarily his truest inner desire.

My worldview, oh dear.

Yang Nuomi tapped her head.

It's only natural, it's only natural.

She didn't feel right saying anything more.

The virtual world is indeed fun, but is it really as good as my sister says?

She wanted to say, not necessarily.

People always get bored sometimes.

Moreover, ninety-nine percent of the people there are actually working.

Only the wealthy can truly enjoy it.

But this enjoyment is superficial; afterward it leaves people even more empty.

To truly feel not empty in this life, one must abandon privileges, merge into everyone's life, and find oneself through tempering.

But isn't that just suffering again?

Life is already bitter; is there really a need to go through it again?

Just as Yang Nuomi said.

After Yang Nuolan retired, she truly didn't know what to do.

She couldn't find a sense of existence and wouldn't enjoy retired life.

The value of life began to plummet quickly in her consciousness.

Her current life is a torment.

Yang Nuomi felt her gloom.

Why not go out and look for a man?

Or let the family find a few for you, then date.

You're still young; living alone is hard.

After you've tasted the sweetness of love, you can't stay single.

Not right………

Yang Nuomi seemed to have thought of something.

Sis, you haven't dated before, have you?

You're used to being alone; why do you now feel lacking a man?

Yang Nuolan's face turned red.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I just suddenly became idle and have nothing to do."

Yang Nuomi waved her hand.

"Then go travel."

Yang Nuolan had no motivation, no interest, couldn't summon her spirits.

"What's good about traveling?"

"Running around wastes too much time and is too exhausting."

It's not like she hasn't traveled before.

"Then why don't you stay on Yueqiu for a few days?"

Yang Nuolan still refused.

"What's there to see? It's just a bunch of indoor buildings."

This feeling, how is it a bit like depression?

"Otherwise, why not go play in the virtual world?"

She indeed had prepared to go, but this isn't Yang Nuomi's place; she can't just abandon her.

"Wait until we have time."

At that moment, Yang Nuomi suddenly asked.

"Sister, do you miss Yunxiao?"

Yang Nuolan froze instantly.

"Do you miss him? Or not?"

Since Yunxiao suggested she find a man, he began gradually reducing contact with her.

What she said is quite right; Yunxiao cannot feel her emotions.

Between them, they cannot touch each other's souls.

In that regard, they are more like a mechanical motion.

Basically, there is no soulful communication at all.

But she indeed misses him.

Even though he is a Term: Intelligent Body, a machine.

This is a complex emotion.

Yunxiao told her this is dependence from living together for a long time, and she will soon forget him.

But it's really hard to forget him.

Yang Nuolan's silence says it all.

Yang Nuomi's guess turned out to be true.

Actually, this is not an isolated case; in this world where adult companions are prevalent, many humans develop feelings for machines.

But although machines have emotion modules, they truly have no feelings.

Even Yunxiao, this special Term: Intelligent Body that appeared because of Yang Qing, likewise has none.

Therefore, the outcome of such feelings is often not good.

Yang Nuomi seems to know something about it.

"Sister, is Yunxiao's lifespan related to Grandfather?"

Yang Nuolan was shocked by Yang Nuomi's words and stood up.

She widened her eyes, looking at Yang Nuomi in disbelief.

As expected, she guessed correctly again.

"So, Grandfather's current situation is also related to Yunxiao."

"No!"

Yang Nuolan hurriedly denied, but her voice trembled slightly.

"It's not like that; you're just wild guessing."

"How could a Term: Intelligent Body's lifespan possibly be related to a human?"

"Regarding Grandfather's matter, I've already made it clear."

Yang Nuomi walked over, lightly hugged Yang Nuolan; Yang Nuolan's trembling body gave her away.

"Sister, Yunxiao was born because of Grandfather."

"It was Grandfather's bioelectric frequency that ignited Yunxiao's sentience."

"This is what many people have guessed, because Yunxiao appeared much earlier than other Term: Intelligent Bodies."

"And Yunxiao differs greatly from other Term: Intelligent Bodies, something many people are aware of."

"During this time, Yunxiao seems to have been arranging some things."

"He has handed over many of the authorities he held."

"This is quite unusual."

The trembling body gradually calmed, and Yang Nuolan forced herself to calm down.

Afterwards she also revealed something even more shocking to Yang Nuomi.

"Nuomi, is there a possibility that Grandfather will possess Yunxiao?"

Boom……

Yang Nuomi felt like she was about to explode.

"How could this be possible?"

Yang Nuolan seemed very certain.

"Nothing is impossible."

"Grandpa's current movements are extremely erratic."

"Sometimes strong, sometimes weak."

"Yunxiao sometimes suddenly crashes and then says some nonsensical things."

"I don't understand, but the tone is clearly Grandpa's."

"Although the time was brief, I am certain."
