Xing Tie: After the simulation, they all wanted to lock me up in a dark room.

Chen Yue began to follow the advice in the book: to be buried in peace.

He dug the soil with his hands to bury these iron cavalrymen. He didn't know why he was doing this; his body just moved on its own, and he felt that he had to do something.

However, the ground had been frozen into permafrost by his Icefire Armor, and the soil was as hard as stone. His hands were covered in blood, and he had barely managed to dig less than a meter.

Even after digging the pit, Chen Yue couldn't piece together a complete corpse, because some of their bodies were blown to pieces, and others were mixed in with the corpses of the insect swarm.

By the time the Grammer cavalry arrived to pick you up, you had already dug a five-meter-deep pit. Your hands were covered in blood, your fingernails were split open, and next to you were dozens of Grammer cavalrymen whose bodies you had pieced together and covered with white sheets.

They wanted to take you away, but you refused and asked them to contact headquarters so they could bury these Grammer cavalrymen. Headquarters readily agreed.

The next day, news arrived that headquarters had buried them all, but you looked grave, for you saw deception in their eyes.

To them, those cavalrymen were nothing more than tools; if a tool broke, it could simply be replaced. Why bother expending energy to bury them?

You feel a deep disgust for this place and plan to take your "mother" with you after you see her. Here, you will eventually be used as a tool and abandoned by them.

Finally, you met "Mother," and you were overjoyed. You then told her that you wanted to take her away, even at the risk of being frozen to death by the Icefire Armor, to help her escape this place, and she agreed to your plan.

At the appointed place, you were greeted not only by "Mother," but also by a large contingent of Grammer cavalry behind her.

"Are the people behind you people who, like me, hate the Grammer Empire?"

You don't believe that the "mother" who gave you warmth in that cold place betrayed you.

She simply replied with a cold, electronic voice.

"Grammer's Code of Conduct, Rule Number One: Forever loyal to Her Majesty the Empress and the Empire. 01 You have violated Imperial military regulations. We are hereby apprehending you. Do not resist, or you will be harmed..."

These words cut like a knife, shattering your illusions and dragging you into the cold reality.

"Won't get hurt?" Chen Yue sneered. "Your betrayal has already hurt me deeply, and you actually say... you won't get hurt!?"

Chen Yue suddenly pulled out the gun from the Icefire mech and pulled the trigger without hesitation. It struck her directly in the heart and head. Her armor was pierced, and she collapsed into a pool of blood.

"Take him down quickly!"

Without any hesitation or reminiscence, Chen Yue's heart was filled with nothing but pure revenge. The moment she betrayed Chen Yue, she was no longer the most important "mother" in Chen Yue's heart.

It turns out it was all a lie! That book was given to him on purpose, and even its contents were carefully designed—no, it should be the so-called Queen behind him!

And so, you were taken back to headquarters. You thought you would be destroyed, until you overheard a conversation while inside the incubation chamber.

"I still don't understand, what exactly do you want?" a young man's voice rang out.

"01's mind has not been implanted with the consciousness of the Hive; he will never be loyal to Her Majesty the Empress or the Grammer Empire," another aged voice rang out.

"So, what does this have to do with your plan?"

"What we call Hive Consciousness is nothing more than implanting a false dream into them, bestowing upon them loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen—essentially brainwashing. Conversely, there's only one way to brainwash 01..."

"you mean……"

"I think you've already guessed it, yes, it's love, and love can create miracles."

It will create something, something that no one can see, something that controls 0s and 1s.

The aged voice continued, "I have always believed that the feelings between people can make one person unconsciously controlled by the other. During the time 01 and AR1075 spent together, they had already begun to be controlled by their feelings. These happy and warm memories will become the thing that controls 01, making him help that person without considering the consequences."

"01 has now been discovered."

"I understand, so I prepared a memory erasure device to start over."

From beginning to end, this so-called redemption was nothing more than a scheme they orchestrated, with the sole purpose of controlling Chen Yue. The person who devised that plan placed too much faith in emotions, and indeed, emotions did control Chen Yue.

...Onpharos Campus Chapter...

"You think I won't go all out just because A-Yue is here? You underestimate me, Xi Lian!" Xi Lian held a racket in one hand and a tennis ball in the other.

He unleashed a powerful aura that locked onto everyone present.

"What's going on?" Chen Yue felt the terrifying aura emanating from Xi Lian and subconsciously took a step back.

Isn't this a slice-of-life romance novel? With your imposing manner, are you sure you're from the same novel as us?

"Ah Yue, I don't want to hurt you. If you obediently back down, I'll reward you tonight," Xi Lian said, winking at Chen Yue. "I'll be wearing white stockings tonight~"

Tirispyos was immediately displeased to see Xi Lian openly seducing Chen Yue.

"Ah Yue, don't be afraid. I'm here. I won't let her hurt you." Tirispyos also activated her "give me a break" mode. "If she wants to hurt you, she'll have to step over my dead body first."

At the same time, Tirispius bent down and whispered to Chen Yue, "I also have white stockings. If Yue likes them, I can wear them for you every day."

After saying that, he gently bit Chen Yue's ear, making Chen Yue blush.

Xi Lian on the other side was completely furious.

That despicable Tirispeius, how dare you kiss my little Ayue right in front of me! You've already committed suicide!

Today I'll show you what happens if you dare to cheat on my pink puppy!

Tirispyos's actions completely transferred Xilian's anger to her.
