Yan Tiaoba sat at the end of the dining table. Although the food was delicious, he was still a little nervous when facing so many strangers.
"Mr. Yan Tiaoba, there is no need to be restrained. Everyone here is equal." As soon as Du Lan opened his mouth, the topic went off the rails.
"..."
"You're kidding, open up and eat, we have enough food." The people at this table except the robot Tokiomi, he doesn't need to eat. Everyone else has a big appetite, even Ilya wants to eat for two s things.
Yan Tiaoba was stunned. The delicacies on the table quickly disappeared, and he had a feeling that the dining table was like a battlefield.
The blowing of the horn made the chopsticks in their hands move rapidly. Because they were heroic spirits, they had comprehensive modern knowledge, so they were very comfortable using chopsticks.
The speed of the chopsticks was terrifying, and the people on the table seemed to have stomachs like black holes.
Fortunately, Yantiaoba was still full. Just like Dulan said, they had prepared enough food.
"Mr. Yantiao, stay here tonight. I will ask my butler to take you home tomorrow." Dulan said, "Have a good sleep!"
Yan Tiaoba didn't want to refuse, he didn't want to go back to that terrible home. But he felt that he would have no one to live with tonight. His mother's numb puppet-like eyes made him have nightmares over and over again. But he didn't want to think about it. He grabbed a knife and stabbed his mother, then escaped.
His whole body felt like he had been fished out of water, and Yan Tiaoba had to get up and take a shower.
It is really midnight now, and the Liangyi Dojo is very quiet. In the gentle corridor, the sliding door facing the garden is open, letting the moonlight shine on the floor.
Yan Tiaoba dragged his feet tiredly. His bedroom was at the corner at the end of the corridor.
Such beautiful moonlight made him stop and turn his head to look at the yard. There was a figure standing in the yard, "Mr. Robot?!"
"My name is Tohsaka Tokiomi, not Mr. Robot." Tokiomi said expressionlessly.
"I'm sorry." Yan Tiaoba saw that he couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply stopped in the corridor and asked, "Mr. Tohsaka, what are you doing?"
"Absorb reflected sunlight."
"Are you talking about absorbing moonlight?" Yan Tiaoba looked at the big moon in the sky.
I have to say that in the animation world, the moon is often round and big, which is not in line with scientific evidence.
"correct."
Yan Tiaoba was even more certain that the person in front of him was completely a robot, with no human touch at all. Even the beautiful and romantic moonlight was regarded as reflected sunlight.
"Mr. Tosaka, do you know Tai Chi Tower?"
"I know, it's not far from here, you can drive there in ten minutes." Tohsaka said, then turned to look at Yan Tiaoba, "Does your home live there?"
"No, it's not!" Yan Tiaoba remembered the shining kitchen knife, his father's broken neck, and the way he had no choice but to grab the knife.
"..."
After being silent for a while, Yan Tiaoba finally decided to say something to the robot. Holding some things in his heart would drive him crazy, "Mr. Tohsaka, do you have a family?"
"Yes, I have a wife and two daughters. I only remember these." Tokiomi could only remember these, but the specific details, the appearance and names of his wife and daughter were all sealed by Duran.
"Then do you want to see your family?"
"I don't want to, my memory has been blurred. Maybe they have tried their best to get old, sick and die. It would be better not to see each other." The machine Tokiomi was absolutely calm.
"It's better to be a robot that can be so heartless!" Yan Tiaobaduo hoped that he could forget all the things that made him uneasy.
"You are indeed a robot, but unlike me, your body is made up of something similar to flesh, but there are indeed gears and other parts under the flesh." Tokiomi said without changing his face. A fact that made Yan Tiaoba terrified.
"Are you kidding me?" Yan Tiaoba said with a weak smile, pulling up the corners of his mouth.
"It's not a joke. I don't like to joke. What I said are all facts. There is no brain in your head. There is only something like a receiver. It receives signals transmitted from nowhere and allows you to do things about the outside world. react."
"...Haha!" Yan Tiaoba still didn't believe it. Of course he couldn't believe it. He obviously felt that he was very healthy, how could he be a robot.
"Whether you believe it or not, what I said is the truth anyway." Tokiomi said, "It's getting late. Go to bed early. I'll take you home tomorrow!"
Yan Tiaoba opened his eyes again. It was already bright. He felt dizzy. He basically didn't sleep much last night. He kept having nightmares and couldn't rest at peace.
Everyone else had already finished the simple breakfast, and he was the only one eating it. The robot Tokiomi stood beside him, waiting to send him back.
"The car is ready. Just tell me the location and I will take you home!" said the robot Tokiomi. "Of course you don't have to tell me. My core processor will be linked to the national household registration management system. Find your place."
Just like escorting prisoners, the robot Tokiomi also acted as a mechanical policeman.
In the car, Yan Tiaoba looked out of the car window at the crowded streets. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't escape Tokiomi's grasp.
Downstairs, this cylindrical residential building is said to have been designed by a great designer. The stairs and corridors on both sides are circular, reflecting the meaning of reincarnation.
Tokiomi grabbed Yan Tiaoba's arm to prevent him from escaping, walked into the elevator, and spiraled upward.
Ding dong!
Yan Tiaoba couldn't escape, he knew no one would open the door, because his father was killed by his mother, and he himself also killed his mother.
But everything was different from what He thought. The door opened, and a somewhat decadent middle-aged man opened the door. That face was very familiar to Yan Tiaoba. It was really his father who should have been killed.
"Dad??!!" Yan Tiaoba's whole body went limp. If Tokiomi hadn't grabbed his arm, he would have sat on the ground.
"You are Tomoe, why are you back now? Come in quickly." He completely ignored the robot Tokiomi.
Tokiomi was not polite, pushed the door completely open, pulled Yan Tiaoba and walked in.
The family is still as simple and poor as before. Ever since Ba's father hit and killed someone with his car, they have been moving to avoid rumors. His father has never had a stable job, and the whole family relies on his mother's meager salary to support them.
Yan Tiaoba was pinned down on the chair by Tokiomi.
The door was closed, "Your mother went to work and won't come back until evening."
"..." Yan Tiaoba trembled and said nothing. His mind was still recalling the scene of the knife piercing his mother's body.
"Mr. Tohsaka, what on earth is going on?" Yan Tiaoba asked.
"As I said, you are all robots, and you all act according to certain instructions. Obviously you are all just parts of a larger system, but you seem to have malfunctioned!" Tokiomi said.
"Robot? Larger system? Parts?" Yan Tiaoba's heart was beating at super speed.
"That's right, you are all parts of this building. It is a huge and sophisticated system. Although I don't know who created such a system and for what purpose. But I know that everyone in your building has probably already Dead, and now you are all acting like robots, accepting instructions and then acting."
"How could that happen??! But I'm obviously here, how could I be dead?"
"I don't know!" Tokiomi stopped talking and began to look around. In his eyes, the magic circuits and formations on the wall of the building gradually became clearer.
