Chapter 1012
The edge of the solar system, Foros.
Vita and Yae Ri were sitting at opposite ends of the sofa in the room. The former tried to find a topic to talk about, but the latter remained silent and looked very bored, so she stopped talking too.
After an unknown amount of time, Vita, who was originally bored, suddenly raised her head and then stood up, just like a small employee who was slacking off and suddenly noticed that the boss was walking to her workstation.
"He's back."
"..."
Yae Li glanced at her, ignored her, and then closed her eyes to rest.
But the next moment, he opened his eyes.
A pair of floating feet appeared in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw another "Vita" who looked like she had albinism.
No, maybe we should call Him [Sa]?
Yae Li still didn't want to pay attention, she yawned and went to sleep.
[Have you...thought it over? ]
Suo's voice rang directly in Yaeri's mind.
"What to consider?"
Yaeri opened her eyes and spoke.
[…Life or death? ]
"..."
It was very direct, leaving Yaeri no room to refuse.
"Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid only an idiot wouldn't know how to choose, right?"
【very good. 】
Suo was satisfied with this answer, and his face looked even more dull and indifferent than Vita behind him, as if the function of expression had been completely stripped from his face, or as if he had already anticipated that Yaezaki would not do anything stupid.
[Starting tomorrow, I will give you all the energy for the "work" and also grant you the qualification to temporarily activate your powers. Do not attempt to escape. You will be under my surveillance until the "work" is completed.]
"...Can I make a request?"
Yaeri narrowed her eyes at him and stood up, looking down on him at least in terms of height.
Suo raised her head slightly, not minding Yaezaki's childish behavior.
【Can. 】
"I haven't said it yet."
【Your thoughts are clearly visible, without the extra step of verbally communicating them. 】
Read minds?
Yae Ri was secretly shocked. Suo's ability was a little more troublesome than he had imagined. At least if he wanted to escape in the future, he would definitely not be able to avoid this ability.
【So……】
"I have one more request."
【disagree.】
"Why? You won't let me go even after I've done the job for you. Do you plan to make me work for you forever?"
[Because you know this place, and you also know my existence. ]
"..."
So disgusting.
Yae Ri thought so, but Suo didn't care.
He turned his gaze to Vita who was waiting beside him.
Help him choose a place to live.
"The agent will follow your instructions, Su."
Vita would chatter non-stop in front of Yaeri, but in front of Suo, she was much more restrained.
"Let's go."
Vita looked at Yaegiri, who nodded slightly, followed her steps, and left the room.
He also didn't want to stay with this unreasonable albino.
【…】
Suo watched them leave quietly and raised one hand, which had charred marks and ice-blue fragments.
But very quickly, the wounds on His body healed.
not enough……
If even humans can cause trouble for Him, how can He fight against the Cocoon?
……
After leaving the high-tech house, Vita brought Yae Li to the real Foros.
This is a city that combines classical and modern elements. Its architecture exudes the charm of Mediterranean style, but some places display advanced technological features.
In the center of the assembly square, a high-tech clock device stands, surrounded by neatly arranged stalls. Although there is no one, it is still colorful. The houses in the residential area are simple and elegant, and the sunlight casts gentle light and shadow on the stone road, which is quiet and harmonious.
Yaezaki was observing the deserted city, and Vita seemed to be taking him on a tour, taking him on many detours, which was enough for Yaezaki to draw a rough map of the entire city in his mind.
On the way, Vita will also introduce this place to him. Just like the world bubble they met before, she still plays the role of a caring guide, but this time Yae Ri has no intention of appreciating the scenery at all.
Vita talked for a long time but Yae Ri didn't respond, so she reluctantly took him to his future residence, which was an ordinary house in a residential area.
"You will live here from now on. You can come to me if you have any problems. I have been here recently. Of course, you can also come to Suo. Although He will not attack you because he is annoyed by you, he will probably ignore you... Come to think of it, you are really amazing. Even when He stares at you with such a scary look, you can still bargain without changing your expression~"
Perhaps because she was out of Suo's sight, Vita started to talk more. Even though she knew that Suo was still watching her, it didn't matter. She didn't say bad things about her boss behind his back.
"You can read minds, too?"
Yaeli looked at her.
"A little bit at a time, Suo gave me some abilities, so I also know what you talked about with Him~"
Vita admired Yae Ri's expression very much. "I was secretly worried for you at that time. After all, the last guy who was so arrogant in front of Suo, his ashes floated away to who knows where~"
"...I told that guy that I won't take action until three days later. I want to have a good rest during this period. Don't bother me."
This was the first request that Yaeri made to Suo. It was very simple, so the other party agreed.
As for the second request...it was obvious that Suo had refused. He would not let him go, so it was better not to mention it.
"Don't bother you... How can I do this? I finally have a permanent resident here, how can I not come and chat with you? You don't know how boring my days were when I was alone before~" Vita refused.
"Then just go and be bored by yourself, and don't bother me... Besides, who said I'm a permanent resident? I will definitely leave in the future, or, after I complete that guy's request, he might kill me immediately?" Yaeri always prepared for the worst.
"That's not the case... Do you know a programmer? You can't fire him right after he finishes writing a piece of code. Who knows if there will be any bugs in the future?"
Vita was very optimistic. At this point, she knew that at least Yae Ri's life was saved.
"...I want to ask you something."
"Want to ask why Suo and I look so similar? I won't tell you unless you promise to come and chat with me every day~"
"Forget it, I guessed it... It's similar to the relationship between the original body and the clone, but this clone has awakened its self-awareness?"
"Tsk... so boring, why don't you be a little more stupid?"
"It's easy to figure out that you're the one who treats others as fools."
"Hehehehe~"
"?"
"It seems that you haven't realized it yet~ We have been maintaining a normal chat atmosphere for a minute! So don't be so arrogant, I know you are still willing to accompany lonely and pitiful me to kill time, right~"
"..."
Yae Li said nothing more, opened the door, and slammed Vita outside.
