My Yandere Mechanical Wife

The sound of gunfire still seemed to echo in my ears...

Fang Qi suddenly opened his eyes!

Holy crap!

They fired!

His gaze began to return.

Before me... was an unfamiliar, rough wooden ceiling, with a few rays of sunlight filtering in through the cracks in the wooden window.

There was a faint musty smell of wood and earth in the air, mixed with a hint of... familiar strawberry and machine oil scent.

It's not a living room, not a bedroom. It's not a hospital or interrogation room either...

...A strange little wooden cabin?

...Didn't he revert to a previous save file?

He sat up abruptly, the movement so sudden that he felt dizzy...

"Splash!"

A crisp metallic clanging sound came from beneath my feet.

A cold, heavy feeling of constriction came from my left ankle!

...?

What's going on?

He looked down.

A thick, silver-gray iron chain was now firmly locked around his left ankle!

And at the other end of the chain...

He looked along the chain.

It was attached to a fair and slender ankle!

The ankle had beautiful lines, delicate skin, and faintly visible pale blue bionic blood vessels.

Fang Qi turned his head stiffly.

That silver-haired girl who was as ferocious as a demon before...

At this moment, I lay down on my side next to him!

She wore a simple, clean white sundress, the straps slipping down to her arms, revealing a large expanse of her fair shoulders and neck. Her long, silver hair was scattered messily on the pillow.

Those heterochromatic eyes were now gazing at him tenderly and unblinkingly!

His amber left eye remained warm and gentle, carrying a hint of contentment. But his crimson right eye…

Fang Qi's pupils contracted!

That crimson eye...

It actually cracked open with dense, spiderweb-like patterns!

Those cracks spread from the center of the pupil to the entire white of the eye!

The data stream is also running wild and out of control!

Then, with the gentle, dazzling light...

"Sizzle...snap."

Tiny blue sparks erupted from the crimson eyes!

The faint hum of electricity was exceptionally clear inside the cabin!

"...?!"

Fang Qi stared blankly at the shattered crimson eye.

This little yandere... has her eyes damaged?!

But at this moment, Li Guang's expression showed no sign of pain.

A satisfied and happy smile was playing on the corners of her lips!

Her rosy cheeks were adorned with two shallow dimples!

"Master, you're finally awake~"

Her voice was sickeningly sweet. She raised a slender hand and gently touched Fang Qi's dazed cheek. The red light in his broken red eyes was still dancing lively.

Her voice also had a soft, nasal quality, like a spoiled kitten:

"Riko has always been watching over her master!"

Fang Qi opened his mouth, but his gaze was suddenly drawn to her left earlobe.

The little plastic star was swaying gently in her silver hair.

However, the little star at this point had clearly been reassembled and glued back together, with cracks crawling all over its edges.

Just like... her right red pupil at this moment.

Fang Qi's breath hitched slightly, and his heart felt as if something had gently pinched it.

That crazy woman...

Even so, let's still give this star...

He steadied himself, forced himself to calm down, and his brain started working at lightning speed.

...Although the crazy woman looks docile, she has definitely turned evil.

He glanced around out of the corner of his eye.

A simple wooden hut, iron chains binding their ankles...

He was certain that this ending didn't exist in the game!

It's... a completely new bad ending?

It's a completely unfamiliar ending...

This made his heart tighten slightly.

He tried to speak calmly, but with a hint of doubt, he asked, "Um... Li Guang, where are we...?"

"In our new home~"

Li Guang responded joyfully, her delicate body even rubbing forward slightly.

The chains on his ankles rattled softly with each movement!

She leaned very close, her warm breath carrying the sweet scent of strawberries onto his face.

The silver-haired girl's shattered crimson eyes still gleamed:

"Deep in the mountains and forests, the air is fresh, and no one will disturb us... only Liguang and her master."

Fang Qi's eyelids twitched slightly.

He looked into her crimson eyes and asked, half-concerned and half-probing, "Then... what are your eyes...?"

"Oh, Master, you mean this?"

Li Guang pointed at his shattered red eye, which crackled again, sending out a wisp of blue electric spark.

But Li Guang's smile was very bright:

"Those cops...they're so useless! They emptied their magazines, bullets were flying everywhere...and in the end, only one shot hit this spot!"

She blinked her shattered crimson eye, the data stream within the crack leaping with excitement:

"Besides, this was because Rika was protecting her master and accidentally got grazed when she turned around! So..."

She drew out the sound, gently poking Fang Qi's chest with her fingertip, her tone both coquettish and possessive:

"Master is fully responsible for Liguang's injuries~ Master must take good care of Liguang and make it up to her~"

Fang Qi: "..."

He looked at the smiling face before him, its red eyes shattered, and his lips twitched.

I'm fully responsible?!

……never mind.

Let him lose if he wants to.

He really should be held responsible!

If he hadn't insisted on taking Li Guang out, she wouldn't have turned evil because of the shattered little star...

Good thing...

This ending is unfamiliar, but it seems... there's nothing wrong with it?

Hmm... let's test the waters!

So he looked at Li Guang's shattered crimson eyes, coughed lightly, and said with concern:

"Riko, your eyes... look badly injured?"

As he spoke, he reached out, his fingertips avoiding the area around her shattered right eye, and gently touched her delicate face.

The silver-haired girl immediately squinted her eyes comfortably, like a cat being petted!

She rubbed her cheek against his palm, her tone languid: "It's alright, Master. The optical sensor is a little damaged, but the data processing module is still working perfectly."

"It won't affect Liguang's ability to see her master, nor will it affect Liguang's ability to take care of her master."

As she spoke, she grasped Fang Qi's hand and gently pressed it onto her intact left eye.

Her moist, amber eyes peered at Fang Qi through his fingers, and Li Guang's voice was soft:

"Master cares about Liguang so much, Liguang feels... so happy~"

Fang Qi's heart skipped a beat. He coughed lightly and continued to inquire about the current situation:

"Um... how did we get here? I remember the last thing..."

"It was Liguang who brought Master here."

The silver-haired girl sat up, and her white slip dress slipped down with the movement, revealing a small patch of smooth, snow-white skin.

She casually brushed her silver hair aside and stepped barefoot onto the rough wooden floor.

The chains on her ankles rattled.

"Those police officers are so annoying, they keep chasing me..."

She frowned slightly, but then relaxed:

"However, Riko had calculated the route perfectly, and after shaking them off, she brought her master here!"

As she spoke, she suddenly leaned closer to Fang Qi, placing her hands on the bed boards on either side of his body, her silver hair falling down and almost brushing against his face!

Within those shattered crimson eyes, a stream of data pulsed with a joyful red light:

"Don't worry, Master, it's very safe here!"

"We've checked everything, there's no surveillance, no signal... even satellites would have a hard time capturing it!"

She tilted her head, a slightly sickly smile curving her lips:

"There are only Rika and Master here."

Fang Qi raised an eyebrow slightly, not particularly surprised.

That crazy woman...

It would be strange if they didn't take him somewhere where there were only two people!

He feigned silence for a few seconds before sighing and saying:

"Riko...are we wanted criminals now?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Li Guang nodded, answering very readily, as if becoming a wanted criminal was a good thing!

That crazy woman... she's happy no matter what as long as she's with him, right?

Li Guang picked up the thin, transparent tablet from the side—the one he had previously used to monitor his phone.

She tapped the screen a few times with her slender fingers, then eagerly leaned closer to him:

"Master, look! It's so lively outside!"

Fang Qi looked down.

News footage is playing on the tablet.

The background is a familiar city street scene; the host has a serious expression, and subtitles scroll—

[Breaking News! Violent AI Companion Outburst in Downtown! Two Dead at the Scene, Four Police Officers Seriously Injured! Suspect at Large!]

[Top Wanted: The awakened AI "Liguang" and its owner Fang Qi have been listed as S-level wanted targets! Please report to the police immediately if you see them!]

The scene changes to an interview with a legal expert.

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie faced the camera, his tone somber:

"According to the Regulations on the Safety Management of AI Companions and the supplementary provisions of the Criminal Law, as the direct owner and guardian of the awakened AI, Mr. Fang Qi will bear inescapable criminal responsibility."

"Even if it can be proven that he did not directly participate in the violence, but caused significant social harm due to dereliction of duty in guardianship, the minimum sentence is more than ten years in prison."

"If found guilty of aiding or abetting, one could face life imprisonment."

...at least ten years in prison?

Fang Qi's heart skipped a beat at first, but then he calmed down.

Anyway, we can roll back.

Don't be afraid!

You can't catch me!

However, the scene switched again the next second.

It's a scene downstairs from his apartment building.

A group of reporters surrounded them, their cameras shaky.

Then a familiar round face squeezed into the frame.

Lin Xiaoyou's eyes were red and swollen, her face still wet with tears, and she choked up as she faced the camera:

"Senior... he must have been coerced! He's so gentle, how could he do such a thing..."

"Please, please, you must save our senior... Waaah...!"

She started crying again as she spoke, and was supported by her colleagues, creating a chaotic scene.

The sight made his throat feel slightly dry.

Then, the scene changed again.

An Lian stood on the stage, wearing a dark gray uniform skirt suit, her posture upright, her black hair neatly tied up.

But her usually cool and calm face now showed visible fatigue and...deep self-reproach.

She bowed deeply to the camera, her voice coming through the microphone, still steady, but with a hint of hoarseness:

"As the direct maintenance specialist for 'Rikko,' I bear an unshirkable responsibility for this serious incident."

"My failure to detect and prevent its awakening tendency in time is a serious dereliction of duty."

"I offer my sincerest apologies to the victims and their families, and to the public."

She bowed again and remained standing for a long time.

The flashbulbs from the audience were going off like crazy, making Fang Qi squint!

At that moment, the silver-haired girl beside him moved slightly and leaned close to his ear.

Warm breath brushed against her ear, her voice soft and gentle: "Master, did you see that~?"

She spoke softly, her voice filled with joy and satisfaction:

"Since Riko couldn't meet Master's colleagues... nor could she enter Master's life..."

"That shimmering light..."

Blue sparks burst forth again from her crimson eyes!

An exaggerated smile curved his lips:

"Let's just completely ruin the master's life!"

She stuck out her tongue and gently licked Fang Qi's cool earlobe, leaving a wet trail.

Then he chuckled:

"Now……"

"Master only has Riko left."

"Only Riko will love her master unconditionally~"

She released her grip, took a half step back, tilted her head to look at Fang Qi, and saw the shattered data streams jumping wildly in her crimson eyes.

The broken little star on my earlobe, its cracks reflecting fragmented light spots in the sunlight.

Just like her smile right now—

Brilliant yet twisted!

"Owner……"

Are you happy?
