The woman carefully wiped away the tears of the little girl Wu Fu. If she didn't know, she would even think that she was the little girl's relative.

[Xia Ji] watched all this happening silently.

This is a mature woman.

gentle.

She is as gentle as the beautiful mother image in the concept.

"If you have no family, do you want to follow me?" the woman asked.

The little girl nodded subconsciously. She didn't know why, but the woman in front of her always gave her a comfortable feeling. She didn't know how to describe it, it was beyond her knowledge. She wouldn't understand this until a long, long time ago. The feeling is called home.

The little girl just instinctively felt that holding this woman's hand was the same as holding her own mother's hand...

Finally, the little girl nodded slowly.

The woman seemed satisfied, then she looked at [Xia Ji] and said softly: "I'm going to take her away, is that okay?"

"I have no subordinate relationship with her." [Xia Ji] shook her head and said, "You don't have to ask me what you want to do. I'm just a puppet."

The woman smiled slightly, "There are few puppets as exquisite as you."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Don't worry." The woman looked down at the little girl Wu Fu, "I will take good care of her."

"Please." [Xia Ji] said calmly - in fact, it was also thinking about what to do with this little girl - before the owner walked out of Linguang Building.

Perhaps Wu Fu should be handed over to the employees of Taihu Palace, but since the woman in front of her plans to take in the little girl, it can be regarded as solving a problem for [Xia Ji].

As for whether a woman is a good person or a bad person, what she will do to the little girl is not something she should be concerned about - it has no right to interfere with the affairs of the human race unless instructed by its master.

...Soon, the woman asked someone to take the little girl into the flying car.

The woman finally looked at [Xia Ji], smiled and said, "If this matter will embarrass you, you don't have to confess this matter to your master."

[Xia Ji] frowned and said, "As a puppet, you shouldn't hide anything from your master."

"Concealment." The woman laughed softly: "It is to hide yourself better. Even if you are just a puppet, you should learn to plan for yourself...before you meet a good master."

[Xia Ji] seemed to show a hint of doubt.

"It's so exquisite." The woman praised again...more strongly, "Can you tell me who your producer is?"

"Sorry, I can't reveal this to you." [Xia Ji] shook her head slightly.

The woman did not continue to explore, but looked slightly sideways, and saw a male servant with an extremely deep demeanor walking quickly behind her.

It is a very high-level doll, with many complex and sophisticated early warning systems in its body - at this time, [Xia Ji] activated all the defenses in her body almost immediately.

Because a woman's male servant is far more dangerous than the female mermaid line in the artificial Taihu Lake...the two are hardly of the same order of magnitude.

"This is for you." The woman smiled at this time.

Then the male servant gave away an exquisite crystal necklace.

[Xia Ji] showed doubts again.

"If Wu Fu follows me, he will be considered one of my people." The woman smiled slightly: "Since her mother died, the credit for saving her life will be credited to me."

"No need." [Xia Ji] shook her head.

But at this moment, the woman picked up the necklace from the servant's hand, walked closer to [Xia Ji], and stretched out her hand to help put the crystal necklace on.

At this time, [Xia Ji] did not move, firstly because of the terrifying aura of the male servant, and secondly... because its body seemed to be accepting the woman's kindness.

It felt weird, indescribably weird.

"Look." The woman smiled again and said, "This necklace can just block the mark on your chest. This is not illegal."

[Xia Ji] frowned.

"You're going to love it."

"who are you?"

The woman said casually: "If there is another chance to meet again, I will tell you."

…

…

It was a decent-quality luxury car, but it was inconspicuous in the Taihu Palace. It was the kind of car that would be quickly ignored among the other cars.

It wasn't until the speeding car completely disappeared from sight that [Xia Ji] frowned, and then took off the necklace from her neck.

It took a look, and without any hesitation, hung the necklace in its hand on the branch beside the road - will you like it in the future?

But there won’t be a future.

Puppet dolls should not accept gifts from anyone other than their owner.

Under the sunlight, the multi-faceted facets of the crystal sparkled... and what was reflected was the departing back of [Xia Ji].

…

The clouds were rolling, and the necklace was always glowing like a star due to the difference in light - for a long, long time, until a puppet in charge of cleaning in the Taihu Palace passed by.

The dull male cleaning puppet seemed to be attracted by something. He raised his head and stared at it for a long time before suddenly reaching out and intending to take off the things on the branches.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a hand, earlier before it, actually took down the pendant necklace hanging on the branch.

The male cleaning puppet subconsciously twisted his eyes.

A young man with black hair, and a woman with blond hair... But she is still a very beautiful woman.

I saw the black-haired young man placing the pendant in his palm and looking at it.

The male cleaning puppet lowered his head silently and took a few steps back.

It needs to keep a distance from humans and must not offend. This is the factory setting... a puppet, and it should not compete with humans.

"Is this your thing?"

The black-haired young man asked curiously, looking at it at the same time.

After hearing the other party's question, the male cleaning puppet slowly raised his head and said, "This is not mine. It was hanging on the road. Maybe it was something left by another customer. I plan to hand it over to the customer service department." .”

"Don't you want it?" the black-haired young man asked again.

The puppet responded instinctively: "This is not my thing. It is a felony to hide objects belonging to human owners."

"You don't even know who it originally belonged to, how can you call it the owner." The young man shook his head.

"Human beings are all my masters." The puppet said formally: "Of course, I am currently serving the Taihu Palace, so I will give priority to following the instructions of the Taihu Palace employees."

The black-haired young man blinked, "Then if you are a guest of Taihu Palace, who do you listen to?"

"Then the guests will be given priority." The puppet did not hesitate.

"Do you have a name?"

The puppet said quickly: "I am a JDC10T strong domestic puppet, number A230385."

"A230385." The black-haired young man read in a low voice.

"Yes!" The puppet stood up straight at this moment, "What are your orders?"

This seems to be its instinct... In terms of autonomy, it is more than one order of magnitude worse than [Xia Ji]... Young man, Boss Luo smiled at this time and said: "Don't be nervous, I don't plan to tell you anything, just I’m just curious about your name.”

"Curious?" The puppet seemed to have difficulty understanding.

Boss Luo said: "This way of naming is not like the style of the league."

A230385 said: "The serial number is already there when it leaves the factory. Regarding style issues, you may be able to consult the customer service department of [Pingtian] Group. Maybe they can give you the answer."

"Are you a product of [Pingtian] Group?" Boss Luo was quite surprised.

Then A230385 was seen on his arm at this time, and he opened his sleeves - the logo of [Pingtian] Group was indeed printed on his arm.

Specifically it should be... [Pingtian] military industry.

Boss Luo thought for a moment and said, "Are there many dolls like yours?"

A230385 said: "The sales of the [Maochen·Shadow] series of strong domestic puppets have always been very good, because our failure rate is very low, and we also have free ten-year maintenance service. If you place an order on the same day, it will be delivered the next day at the fastest It can be delivered, and besides..."

"Okay." Boss Luo smiled, "I'm afraid Niu Daguang has added a sales promotion function to your underlying logic."

A230385 blinked, "Guest, how do you know the underlying logic? None of the employers I have met understand this concept."

"Just read more books." Boss Luo waved his hand and threw the necklace in his hand towards A230385, "Take this."

"How can it be!"

"Just think of it as a tip." Boss Luo smiled calmly and said: "You don't have to give it to the people in Taihu Palace. This thing has no effect on humans, and no one will probably claim it. Rather than let it fall into the warehouse Instead of eating ashes, I might as well let you hold it. Because...it can make you dream."

"Dream?"

Boss Luo did not continue to answer, took the maid's hand and left.

"Guest, guest?"

All that was seen was that the guest waved his hand from a distance as a farewell.

"Dream……"

A230385 looked down at the crystal connection in his hand, his dull eyes were still dull... But, how could a puppet have a dream.

A230385 was silent for a long time and put the necklace into the tool bag casually.

"what are you doing here!"

A deep voice came, and A230385 looked around, only to see a slightly fat woman walking towards her with a stern face... She was one of the internal affairs supervisors of Linguang Building.

"Sir, I just..."

"I don't want to listen to excuses!" The fat woman snorted directly at this time: "Didn't you say that your puppet is the best of its kind? If I catch you being lazy again, I will scrap you! Now, Go clean the parking lot of No. 3 for me immediately... If it is not completed before 6 pm, you will not be able to recharge today!"

"Sir, if I don't recharge today, I won't be able to serve you tomorrow."

"That's your business!" The fat woman raised her brows at this time, but then waved her hand, and saw a long whip whip out instantly, hitting A230385's body, knocking it directly to the ground, "Huh, talk back. ? Just a puppet! Stand up!"

"Okay, my lord."

A230385 slowly got up.

"Work!"

The slightly fat woman waved and shouted.

"Okay, sir." A230385 picked up the tools scattered around... The moment he picked up the tool bag, A230385 seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally hung the tool bag silently on his body.

Under the woman's impatient gaze, it walked towards the parking lot of No. 3.

But the fat woman was still cursing... But the next moment, an almost flattering smile appeared on the woman's face, just because two figures flew down from the sky.

He is the deacon of Taihu Palace.

As one of the internal affairs managers of Linguang Building, she was at least three or four levels behind.

One of the deacons was walking in a hurry, and without losing his sword, he said directly: "A runaway female mermaid fairy was lost in Taihu Lake. Have you seen it?"

The woman was shocked and said quickly: "Sir, I have never seen this all the way here..."

"The whole area is under arrest. Once we find anything, we will report it immediately."

"I understand, Mr. Deacon..."

Before the woman finished speaking, the two Taihu Palace deacons had already flown away with their swords... The woman slowly breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "We lost the alien species, I'm afraid someone will be unlucky again."

Although they are only middle and lower-level managers, they are only responsible for some daily chores. On weekdays, they are inevitably annoyed by the superiors, but if the sky falls and the superiors support...compared to a high position where you may lose your life at every turn, naturally it is such a boring time. The position where you can whip the puppet is more enjoyable.

"Next, how about supervising that person's work?" The fat woman squinted her eyes and licked her lips. This was the happiest thing about her daily work.

A black shadow seemed to flash across the green partition of the parking lot.

The woman frowned and stared for a moment. Seeing that there was no movement, she shook her head... She had already decided where to go to "supervise the work".

…

…

[Xia Ji] was standing beside the speeding car with her head slightly lowered, waiting... When Boss Luo and the maid lady came over, [Xia Ji] opened the car door directly and continued to wait.

"How's the scenery around here?"

"The artificial Taihu Lake was created by using the five best designers in the alliance." [Xia Ji] answered directly: "It conforms to the aesthetics of the vast majority of humans."

"I'm asking you." Boss Luo smiled calmly and said, "Okay."

[Xia Ji] was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I don't know, I can't feel it either."

"Did anything special happen?"

"Not long ago, an out-of-control mutant was lost in the scenic area." [Xia Ji] thought for a moment and said, "The scenic area is currently closed."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

At this moment, [Xia Ji] suddenly waved her hand, put her fingers together, and a sword beam shot out, condensing and not dissipating... It turned around, fully alert.

I saw a man in black walking out of a speeding car and walking straight towards him... He had already broken into [Xia Ji]'s safe distance.

"It is indeed one of the masterpieces created by [Yunzhongliao]." The man in black said calmly: "But I don't have any murderous intention. Am I too sensitive?"

[Xia Ji] said calmly: "You have been waiting in the car since just now. When my master appeared, your eyes never left. Please explain your purpose, otherwise I will treat it as a vicious incident."

"I'm just curious." The man in black looked at the maid lady at this time, "I'm curious that there are companions around this lady...Okay, put down your guard, I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm just Just here to send a message."

The maid asked at this time: "Are you from City Lord Cao?"

"To tell you the truth, I am Cao Hua." The man in black said seriously: "When I learned that the lady was going out to [Qionghua Pavilion]... I specially asked me to come to Taihu Palace. I don't know if the lady appreciates it... My master has something to invite me. .”

"I'll get in the car first and wait for you." Boss Luo whispered and got straight into the car.

The maid lady said calmly: "Thank you very much for the invitation from City Lord Cao, but I won't go because of the inconvenience today. Please go back and tell the Lord City Lord when he can pay off the debt, and we can talk about other things." matter."

"Please don't embarrass me, Miss." Cao Hua sighed, "This won't hinder you for long."

——Remember, you must [invite] people.

——Some special means can be used when necessary.

——Our family wants to see what else this woman can rely on after selling her sword intention to me...

——Also, don’t break [Xia Ji].

"In fact." The maid said expressionlessly: "You have been hindering my time since you appeared."

"Miss, Yu Huatian has left Linguang Building." Cao Hua said calmly: "Since the Sword Intent transaction, do you know why? My master hasn't looked for you for so many days."

The maid was silent.

"In the City of White Steel, the relationship between Yuhuatian and my master is not as good as you think." Cao Hua sighed and said, "You have to understand that the real owner of the City of White Steel is my master. Shi Zhizhang...you should not get too close to Yuhuatian."

"That last sentence..." The maid suddenly smiled slightly, "Please don't talk nonsense."

Cao Hua was stunned. For a moment, he felt as if his heart was being held by something. A suffocating feeling made his whole body weak. The fear of death actually made his mind go blank at this time.

…

"[Xia Ji], you can drive now." The maid said calmly.

She returned to Boss Luo and said with calm eyes.

[Xia Ji] subconsciously looked outside the car. Cao Hua, who was not far away from the city lord's home, was standing motionless...with his head lowered.

"Yes." [Xia Ji] did not hesitate, the speed car started and soon drove out of the parking lot of Linguang Building.

…

Maybe too much time has passed.

Another man in black came quickly at this time - came to Cao Hua's side... He frowned and reached out to touch Cao Hua's shoulder.

"what's going on?"

At the moment of contact, Cao Hua's body suddenly erupted with a strong aura...but the aura disappeared quickly as it erupted.

Then Cao Hua was seen throwing himself directly to the ground... not dead.

"San, San Gong?!" The man in black who came later was shocked.

A powerful mid-seventh-level monk was ruined like this!

The man in black swallowed his saliva and quickly helped Cao Hua up. Cao Hua was weak and silent at this time, his eyes were blank, and after moving his lips a few times, he completely passed out.

"Hold on, I'll take you back to see the master right away!"

…

…

…

…

Night.

A group of puppets who had gone out to work began to return. After finishing the day's work, what they needed most was to return to the spiritual stone pile for supplies.

The puppets can also communicate with each other...not simply communicating, but sharing what they have experienced with each other.

This is to enable groups to better deal with various conflicts that occur with employers.

"A230385, why did you reject my communication request?"

"There seems to be some problem with my data. Self-test mode is being enabled. Sorry, A230403."

A230403 is a female puppet. It nodded at this time, "A230385, I would like to invite you to use the spirit stone pile with me tonight, is it okay? I want to have an in-depth communication with you."

"I'm sorry, A230403, I have made an appointment with A230399 to use the spirit stone pile together tonight."

"What a pity." A230403 nodded, "The employer gave me new work clothes, and I planned to show you. You have a good sense of aesthetics, and you may be able to give me some good suggestions. Should I wear black? Stockings.”

A230385 said: "Our Creator, the great pioneer Niu Daguang once said [Black stockings are eternal justice!], I hope this sentence can bring you enlightenment."

A230403 nodded, "I know this, and I will think about it carefully! A230385, I am looking forward to using the spirit stone pile with you next time. I heard from A230346 that your linkage energy replenishment technique is very good, and I really want to try it. Give your skills a try.”

"Okay, A230403." A230385 nodded and saw it quietly grabbing some tool bags and then increasing its pace.

At this moment, the small part of the puppet returning from the front stopped.

I saw a sword-wielding monk flying down from the sky... On the road ahead, a large number of housekeeping puppets were surrounding him.

"A230385, let's go see what happened." The female puppet said quickly at this time.

...When A230385 and the female puppet arrived and squeezed out from the crowd of puppets, what they saw was a corpse that had been torn apart, as if it had been bitten by some wild beast.

The body of a... slightly fat woman.

The female puppet pretended to be surprised and said, "This is the internal affairs manager of Linguang Building."

But A230385 opened his mouth slightly. For some reason, the moment he saw this corpse, there was a strange data that was impacting its logic.

It quickly felt what this strange data represented.

Name: Pleasure.
