    Chapter 62: A Certain Alpha Stalking His Wife

    The path out of the valley was more winding than Yu An had imagined.

    Among them, the traces of tentacles in several places were particularly deep.

    Left by Xie Jinsheng.

    It seemed he had been gone for several hours.

    Perhaps he was searching for his memories, or perhaps he had simply found a deserted place to live the same peaceful life of collecting crystal cores as usual.

    Yu An once again clearly realized.

    From now on, he would be alone.

    That burning chest would never again be behind his back…

    Yu An ran his fingertip along the traces, and his mind suddenly recalled the night they first met, the tentacles all over the ground sending shivers down his spine.

    But unknowingly.

    It seemed even his tentacle phobia had been cured; seeing these traces no longer frightened him, but made him feel a sense of closeness.

    However, every relationship has a day of separation, and although reluctant, one can only accept it.

    After a long while, Yu An softly said, “Goodbye, Xie Jinsheng.”

    The time he spent becoming friends with him in the name of a wife was the happiest time he had had since arriving at the Space-Time Bureau.

    Passing through a dark passage, he vaguely glimpsed the light of day at the end.

    Gugu stopped beside him and said, “Savior, Big Eagle and I will take you this far. Outside is a dense forest; if you keep heading north, you will reach Bianhan Town.”

    After a moment, it remembered something else and twisted open a warehouse to the side, handing him an overcoat:

    “Oh, right, Bianhan Town has a very high altitude, and it often starts snowing in October, Savior, you must remember to keep warm and not catch a cold.”

    Humans are very fragile.

    It had realized this the moment the Doctor’s body died.

    Yu An’s heart warmed when he heard this, and he asked, “Gugu, are you and Big Eagle willing to come with me to Rong Nan Base?”

    There was a place there that specialized in researching robots, equipped with more advanced parts that could extend their lifespan.

    Gugu understood his good intentions, but still shook its head, saying, “No need, Gugu and Big Eagle were created by Doctor; we both hope to continue guarding this land.”

    To complete the Doctor’s unfinished research.

    Living out their lives like this would be quite good.

    As it spoke, Big Eagle flapped its wings in agreement.

    “The only regret is that Gugu once heard that the end of a person’s life is not death, but oblivion.”

    If a person has left traces in this world, and has been remembered, then they have lived a passionate life.

    But they were machines, and might short-circuit and break down one day; besides the Doctor, no one would remember them.

    But now, in the blink of an eye, even the Doctor’s phantom had dissipated, so did they even count as having lived in this world?

    Suddenly, Gugu felt its head being touched, and after a moment, the soft voice of the young man came: “It’s okay, I will always remember you.”

    Gugu was stunned for a few seconds.

    The screen reflected the Omega’s beautiful and bright face, the pale pink birthmark at the corner of his eye resembling a flower petal facing the sun.

    “When the world is at peace in the future, we will meet again,” Yu An said.

    Gugu couldn’t help but wipe the slightly sour screen after hearing this.

    What it saw when it looked again was the back of the departing young man.

    Slender and thin, yet firmly walking towards the end of the light.

    In that instant, Gugu suddenly thought of a sentence it had once read while flipping through a book a long time ago – the dawn that can pierce the dark night.

    Although it was a completely unrelated description, it was concretized in that moment.

    “Big Eagle, we have lived too…”

    On the way back, Gugu was confused, its CPU short-circuited.

    After all, it was already an old system of several decades, and it had been holding on all these years just to keep the Doctor from being lonely.

    Now that the Doctor’s phantom had dissipated, and it had seen the Savior, it seemed like it couldn’t hold on any longer…

    Sensing that something was wrong, the mechanical eagle cried out sadly, picking up the round little robot on its back, its movements revealing a bit of reluctance.

    Gugu’s screen was pale; it raised its small hand and rubbed the eagle’s head, saying:

    “Big Eagle, after this, only you will be left in the valley, you must remember to charge on time. Also, Doctor liked fresh lilies the most, sow the flower seeds in the spring, and a large patch will bloom in June… it’s very beautiful, but, Gugu probably won’t be able to see it again…”

    Gugu’s voice grew softer and softer as it spoke, and the screen went completely black, revealing a smiling face emoji before its departure.

    089 couldn’t bear it.

    It secretly returned with its soul body, and sighed when it saw this scene.

    It was also the only rule-breaking thing it had done in all these years.

    That was to inject its own energy into Gugu’s body.

    Although its level wasn’t high in the Space-Time Bureau, it was, after all, a product of a higher-dimensional space, and a little energy was enough to revive a robot.

    Gugu had originally fallen into a darkness, but the screen suddenly activated, and it jolted awake.

    It clutched its small hands in disbelief, and found that its performance had fully recovered.

    Not only that, but the technology to repair machine parts suddenly appeared in its mind.

    In other words, it could repair all of its broken robot brothers.

    “It’s the Savior, and his senior advanced robot who saved Gugu!”

    The “dead” robot suddenly opened its mouth and spoke, startling the mourning mechanical eagle, which quickly went over to look at it.

    Remembering what had just happened, Gugu still had CPU aftershocks, and it hugged Big Eagle’s neck, rubbing its round cheeks against it, saying:

    “Big Eagle, Gugu is back, and will never leave again, we can plant lilies together in the spring.”

    Perhaps it was an illusion, but the eagle’s head seemed to blush.

    After a moment, it nudged the chattering little robot back onto its back, carrying it towards the valley.

    Since the Savior and the senior advanced robot had given it new life.

    Gugu secretly made up its mind that it would work hard in the days to come.

    Although the Doctor’s energy had been exhausted, as long as they worked hard, they might be able to restart the Doctor’s consciousness.

    Maybe at the time of reunion with the Savior and world peace, the truth about the massacre of a hundred researchers that year would be known to the world.

    In the dense forest, Yu An, wrapped in a warm cotton coat, felt colder and colder as he went forward, wondering if it was snowing.

    Suddenly, a voice came into his mind, suppressed very lightly, but he still noticed it: “Back? How are they?”

    089 instantly felt ashamed, but still truthfully said: [Gugu survived, they have now safely returned to the valley…]

    “That’s good.”

    After a moment, 089 asked: [Host, will you blame me for using energy randomly?]

    After all, this world was so dangerous; as a qualified system, it should conserve its strength.

    “No,” Yu An said, “You just did what I wanted to do.”

    089 paused for several seconds; in fact, it had long discovered that its host was the most soft-hearted little beauty in the Space-Time Bureau.

    Although this had caused a lot of trouble in previous worlds, and many wages had been deducted.

    But it felt that a warm-hearted host was the most vibrant.

    After all, people aren’t machines, how can they be as cold as the Space-Time Bureau stipulates?

    Rather than following the rules, it wanted to protect its host, and also wanted to try to use its power as a system to save some lives.

    “So 089, do you have confidence in the next mission?” Yu An asked.

    089 had never felt that its heart and its host’s heart were so close, so warm and vibrant: [Yes!]

    May the journey ahead be invincible, and forge ahead.

    After passing through the dense forest, it was indeed snowing outside, everything was white.

    Yu An shivered and tightened his clothes. He heard 089 say: [Host, there seems to be the sound of a horse-drawn sleigh ahead; we can take that to Bianhan Town!]

    “Okay.”

    Yu An walked towards the source of the sound.

    What he didn’t know was that behind him was a tall, slender figure.

    Tentacles swept across the surrounding snow.

    Leaving some messy and terrifying traces.

    Following behind the young man was none other than a certain tentacle monster who had said they would leave and never see each other again.
