Shi Yu took the bowl from Er Qi's hand and took a sip of the medicinal soup.

The taste is not bitter, but also has a slight fruity taste.

"I'm not sick," even so, after drinking the medicine for several days, Shi Yu couldn't help complaining, "Don't give me this thing tomorrow."

Er Qi tilted his head, his light brown eyes looked puzzled: "But I want to take good care of the Earl."

Shi Yu: "You can take care of Yan Huai."

Er Qi pouted: "No."

Shi Yu sighed.

That day when the battleship crashed into the ground, I was fine in the protective cover, but Huai suffered some minor injuries.

Louis' battleship and people were blown to pieces, and now the palace is still cleaning up the simulation space.

What is even more strange is that Nine Zero is gone.

Not only the [-] AI, but even the miniature battleship he was driving disappeared without a trace.

Later, when I thought about it, Nine Zero should be... because it was too close to be affected, maybe it was sucked into the boundary of the simulation, where the energy was unstable, and Nine Zero was probably passively transported to an unknown cosmic anchor point.

He probably will never see this AI again in his life.

Shi Yu didn't think about this question anymore, he lifted the quilt and got off the bed, bypassing Er Qi who was staring at him eagerly, ready to go out to see Yan Huai.

"Count, where are you going?" Erqi followed Shi Yu like a little tail.

Shi Yu: "Visit the patient."

Erqi: "He's already healed!"

Shi Yu frowned: "No, when I saw him last night, his face was still pale."

"Number 91 is lying to you!" Er Qi jumped up angrily, and said loudly, "He's obviously healed, but he pretended not to be well, just to make you visit him more, Earl!"

Shi Yu turned around, held Erqi's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Little Erqi, don't mess around."

"What kind of temperament is Yanhuai No. 91? Don't you know?" Shi Yu explained Erqi earnestly: "He is a cold-tempered person."

Erqi: "?"

Shi Yu: "Cough, my personality is cold."

Erqi shook his head vigorously, his fluffy brown hair was thrown up: "Count, he is lying to you! He is lying to you!"

Shi Yu frowned, looking a little impatient: "If you make trouble again, I will carry you to the first floor."

Erqi stopped his movements, stared at Shiyu with wide eyes for a moment.After a while, he clenched his fists, turned and went downstairs without saying a word.

He rubbed the center of his brows with a headache.

Ever since Jiu Zero disappeared, Er Qi, who is a highly intelligent person, suddenly became willful and clingy for some reason, and even opposed Yan Huai all day long...

In order to discipline the children, I really broke my heart.The more I think about it.

Yan Huai lives in the attic on the top floor. According to him, there are few people and quiet in this place, so it is more reasonable to suspect that he actually wants to avoid the noisy Erqi.

Pushing open the door, Shi Yu scanned around, but didn't see any familiar figure.

The attic has a lot of space, and few people come here. There is a whole row of display cabinets against the wall.

All kinds of gifts that Shi Yu received were piled up in a mess before, but now they are tidied up, and the positions of all things can be called a straight line.

It seems that the people who tidy up have serious cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After searching for a while, Shi Yu found Yan Huai under the window in the corner.

He was sitting casually on the ground with one leg propped up, looking down at a book intently.

Turning over a page with clean fingertips, Yan Huai raised his eyes and looked at Shi Yu: "What's wrong?"

"Come and see you." Shi Yu frowned, "Why do you sit on the ground and catch cold easily."

He hugged a blanket from the side and piled it next to Yan Huai's legs, while Shi Yu was talking to himself to "take care" of the patient, while secretly looking at Alpha in front of him.

Yan Huai stopped turning the pages of the book, and let Shi Yu toss quietly for a while.

"Looking at what?" he asked.

Shi Yu pulled out the fluff on the blanket with his hands, bowed his head and said, "I see that your body seems to be fine."

Yan Huai: "Really, I still feel pain."

Shi Yu: "Where does it hurt?"

Yan Huai's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "The leg hurts."

Shi Yu: "...I remember you hurt your arm, it should be your hand hurting."

In this position, sunlight pierced through the thin window screens and fell down, dyeing Yan Huai's slender eyelashes a light golden color.

"As soon as you come, other places start to hurt." He said without any burden.

Shi Yu: "..."

Suddenly, I felt that what Er Qi said had some truth.Yan Huai...

"I smell your pheromones."

Hearing this sentence unexpectedly, Shi Yu was a little unresponsive, and it took a long time before he said: "Ah..."

Yan Huai closed the book with one hand, and suddenly moved a little closer to him.

Shi Yu was taken aback, thinking that Yan Huai was going to do something, but in the end Alpha just pulled Shi Yu's curly hair and tidied up his messy hair a little bit.

"Put on the pheromone blocking patch next time," Yan Huai said flatly, "I have weak willpower, and it's not that I'm frigid."

Shi Yu: "..."

How did he know what he had said to Erqi? !

Shi Yu felt a chill in his neck - it was not an illusion, but Yan Huai's finger fell down, and he tapped lightly near the gland, which seemed to be a warning but also an unintentional tease.

Shi Yu grabbed his neck and stepped back, feeling a little puzzled at the same time.

"...your pheromones are not..."

Yan Huai was very calm: "E-level."

E-level pheromones are indelible and incomplete traces for Alpha, and they can't catch the smell of other Omega at all. Only when the body is extremely weak, can they feel the pheromones of Omega.

——But it also means that the body is on the verge of collapse.

Shi became more and more curious about how Yan Huai could smell his own scent all of a sudden.

"It may have been affected this time."

Yan Huai was rarely willing to say a few more words, and he lowered his eyes to hide the deep meaning.

It is true that the pheromone of time-healing could not be felt at all before, but this time after the body was healed from the injury, suddenly there was a slight smell lingering over it.

Very, very light, rose scent.

The aggressiveness is not strong, it is not fully bloomed, and it is still as lovely as a flower bud.

Yan Huai felt that his brain was broken, and he had such a baseless imagination.

But the change seemed to be a good change, Yan Huai thought for a moment casually.

This may be a breakthrough to restore the original pheromone.

At this time, Shi Yu's terminal had new news. After connecting, the manor housekeeper's respectful voice came out:

"Count, we have a visitor."

The person who came was Yuan Zicen.

The more I was surprised.

The accident that day was not big, but it was not small—after all, Yan Huai and Shi Yu were in the battleship, and the two core figures who were equivalent to great nobles were on it. There was some shock on the Internet.

What is even more strange is that Yuan Mo did not express any opinion on this matter.

The Emperor Beta seems to have forgotten who is the source of all the accidents, and he claims to be recuperating behind closed doors, and the follow-up work will be handled by the cabinet.

And Yuan Zicen, as an important bystander that day, did not come to visit until today.

The more I thought about it, the Yuan family was inexplicable.

"Little Earl," Yuan Zicen placed a delicate bouquet of flowers on the table, looked at it carefully for a moment, his eyes worried, "You shouldn't be injured, right?"

Shi Yu nodded, looking indifferent.

"Your Majesty has also been very concerned about Admiral Yan's injury these two days," Yuan Zicen's words were watertight, "but His Majesty's old illness has occurred and he is not feeling well, so today I came to visit and express my condolences to Admiral Yan for His Majesty."

Shi Yu: "Oh."

"..." Yuan Zicen smiled: "Is the little Earl angry? Think I didn't come to see you earlier?"

Shi Yu looked at him expressionlessly.

Once his face turned cold, Shi Yu's appearance looked rather frivolous, his slightly raised phoenix eyes were extremely arrogant, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Zicen's question, and he did not hide his indifferent temperament at all.

In fact, Shi Yu was emptying his mind, thinking about why Yuan Mo avoided seeing him.

Yuan Zicen: "I didn't come to see you earlier because I had something to deal with... Did you know that a distant cousin of Admiral Yan also disappeared that day?"

Shi Yu: "...what?"

Yuan Zicen: "Louis' battleship exploded, knocking that Alpha named Yan Ling out of the simulation boundary."

Shi Yu: "..."

Shi Yu: "?"

Yan Ling?what?

Xu Shi didn't get a response from Shi Yu for too long, so Yuan Zicen had no choice but to continue talking:

"Admiral Yan contacted the cabinet a few days ago, saying that one of his cousins ​​ran into the palace that day and then disappeared for no reason. His Majesty ordered me to search for it in the palace for two days, so I delayed coming to see you until now. "

Shi Yu sat motionless, with a distant look on his face, and finally nodded his head reluctantly after a long while: "Got it."

Yuan Zicen: "The little Earl is not angry with me, is he?"

Shi Yu: "Hmm."

Yuan Zicen said some interesting things and made him happier. After a while, he seemed to casually mention: "By the way, how is Admiral Yan recovering?"

Shi Yu's tone was not very happy: "It's not very good. Originally, only the hand was injured, but now it seems that the whole body has sequelae. It's still the intermittent type."

"...?" Yuan Zicen said, "Then shall I visit Admiral Yan?"

Shi Yu got up: "Okay, let the housekeeper take you there."

After following Yuan Zicen for a few steps, Shi Yu suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to cover the glands on the back of his neck, and meditated for a moment.

Yuan Zicen came to visit because he had been treated with pheromone inhibitors, so he had little influence on him.

But Yan Huai...

Shi Yu hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to go back to the room and put on a pheromone blocking sticker.

"General Yan," Yuanzi Cen Chaoyanhuai smiled, "Long time no see."

Yan Huai's attitude was indifferent: "Not long, only ten days."

Yuan Zicen didn't care: "The more you listen, the more you talk, your injury hasn't healed yet?"

Yan Huai stood up. Wearing a simple light white shirt and cotton trousers, he walked a few steps and put the book in his hand back on the shelf.

"Okay." He didn't bother to say half a word of nonsense: "It will heal in time."

Yuan Zicen: "..."

Chatting with this guy is really hard work, I really don't know how Shi Yu gets along with him.

The little earl's willful and arrogant temper, wouldn't he explode in anger when he encountered such a conversation?

But who is Yuan Zicen, who is not at all embarrassed by the current awkward atmosphere, and changed the subject smoothly:

"In this case, then I can explain to His Majesty when I go back. His Majesty has been asking about Admiral Yan's condition these days, but unfortunately he is unwell and cannot come here in person..."

Yan Huai listened casually to Yuan Zicen's words, but his mind was elsewhere.

The bookshelf in front of him is full of hundreds of books on military theory and warship mechanics. I also know that Shi Yu usually doesn’t read them at all, so why does he keep so many books?

Some subtle emotions arose in Yan Huai's heart.

Maybe...these books are for myself.

In order to prove this possibility, Yan Huai spent a lot of time reading in front of Shi Yu these two days.

It was obviously something that could be found in the Xingwang Library, but for some inexplicable reason, Yan Huai lost his temper and flipped through the heavy books page by page.

Unfortunately, Shi Yu didn't seem to respond.

He neither showed interest in the books Yan Huai was reading, nor did he show any emotion similar to joy.

It was useless.

Yan Huai thought to himself.

... a pile of broken books, which is annoying.

Yuan Zicen was still talking, Yan Huai slowly cleared his thoughts before he had time to pay attention to him: "That's it."

Yuan Zicen's voice stopped abruptly.

Yan Huai turned around with a cold demeanor, staring at Yuan Zicen with blue eyes, and said lightly, "Purpose?"

Yuan Zicen's smile stopped.

"Stop talking nonsense in front of me." Yan Huai said, "You came here today to find me?"

Yuan Zicen put back the hypocritical mask on his face, looked at Yan Huai in silence for a moment, and then said, "Actually, in my opinion, you don't look like an AI either."

"It's a miracle for the empire that there is really an AI that can be so similar to Admiral Yan," he said.

Yan Huai didn't speak.

Yuan Zicen walked over, with genuine curiosity on his face: "You told His Majesty that the AI ​​that disappeared was your cousin, even if Your Majesty believed it, do you think I would believe it?"

Yan Huai's voice was cold: "I didn't expect you to believe me, I just gave Shi Yu a reassurance."

"That fool always likes to worry about useless things." His slender figure leaned against the bookshelf, and said casually, "Instead of doing this, it's better to find an excuse to solve it."

"You need that excuse too, don't you?"

Yuan Zicen suddenly laughed and shook his head: "You are too smart."

"But Yuan Mo doesn't have time to think about these issues for the time being." Yuan Zicen looked down at his palm, "He is really sick. As long as the current situation is stable, he won't make another move."

Yan Huai slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Yuan Mo fell ill as soon as you entered the palace, what a coincidence."

Yuan Zicen shrugged: "This is also beneficial to you."

Yan Huai was noncommittal.

"I did come to see you today," Yuan Zicen said, "After so many days of investigation, I was really surprised when I got the medical examination report."

Yan Huai frowned slightly.

After he was injured, he was quickly taken back to Shiyu's manor from the hospital. Logically speaking, no one would take the opportunity to investigate his physical condition.

Yuan Zicen... is indeed not an ordinary person.

Yuan Zicen touched his chin: "Chip, bionic gene...'General Yan', you are really different from ordinary people."

Yan Huai's expression remained calm: "Say something straight."

Yuan Zicen looked directly at him with deep eyes: "The real Yan Huai is dead. Since you have such a high intelligence, are you willing to be a puppet that gets better with time?"

Yan Huai suddenly frowned imperceptibly.

If he remembers correctly, the outside world has always believed that he was at Shi Yu's house during the half month of his disappearance.But Shi Yu himself thinks that the real "Yan Huai" has defected to some messy alien galaxy.

From the beginning to the end, no one claimed that "Yan Huai" was dead.

Why is Yuan Zicen so determined?

Yan Huai raised his eyes, doubts slowly emerging from the bottom of his heart.

——In other words, what role did Yuan Zicen play in that failed mission?

And Shi Yu...does he even know?
