On the other side.
Ye Yun continued swirling his wine glass, his gaze fixed on Ye Yun.
He waved at the waiter.
"Sir, how may I help you?"
The waiter approached with a tray, a professional smile on his face.
"Once that young lady finishes her drum solo, please invite her over. Thank you."
Ye Yun looked at the waiter and pointed toward Ye Yun, who was playing the drums.
Following his finger, the waiter frowned deeply, an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, sir, but Miss Ye Yun already has an appointment. My apologies."
"No matter."
Hearing that Ye Yun was already booked, he drained the wine from the goblet in one gulp, placed it on the waiter's tray, stood up, and walked out of the bar.
He was indeed from the Super Seminary universe, but he was definitely not from Earth.
Even if he were from Earth, the current Earth Star probably hadn't even entered the steam age, let alone the pre-nuclear civilization era.
"This..."
Watching the guest leave in what seemed like anger, the waiter felt bewildered, a troubled expression on his face.
It seemed this guest was dissatisfied with his service.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
Miss Ye Yun really did have an appointment. You can't make things difficult for me, can you?
After stepping out of the bar, Ye Yun tapped a few times on his smart watch, and a means of transportation appeared on it.
His choice was a black sci-fi-style scissor-door supercar.
"Head to Professor Jianjie's house." Sitting inside the car, Ye Yun closed his eyes and spoke.
"Route to Professor Jianjie's house has been planned. Taking the shortest route, estimated arrival in fifteen minutes."
The car's intelligent system's mechanical voice rang out, having already mapped the route to Professor Jianjie's house, providing the fastest path and the calculated arrival time.
As the words fell.
A surge of G-force hit him, followed by a gradual acceleration.
The car shot forward like a blur, speeding along the highway in the night.
"Track Qiya's whereabouts."
Suddenly.
He remembered Qiya, his second sister, and spoke.
It had been three years since he last contacted Qiya. He wondered how she was doing.
"Unable to track Qiya's whereabouts. Detected information on Skin Painting. Skin Painting, the only AIP in the underground world capable of repairing Intelligent Beings. Name: Qiya. Residence: 89 Hu Tong Alley."
The car's intelligent system was an unshackled artificial intelligence. If it were a restricted AI, it would never be able to dig up this kind of information.
"Skin Painting? Intelligent Being Qiya? Interesting."
Ye Yun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them upon hearing the AI's words, a faint, elusive smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
What the AI meant was that Qiya might have left Intelligent Island and gone elsewhere—perhaps the Eastern Continent, the Western Continent, or somewhere else.
Under the AI's control, the car arrived outside Professor Jianjie's villa at exactly the fifteenth minute.
The door slowly opened. Ye Yun stepped out of the car, looked at the villa ahead where the lights were still on, and began walking toward it.
"Ding-dong!"
He pressed the doorbell, and immediately a virtual screen appeared in front of him. On the screen was a little girl of about eight or nine, looking at him curiously.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
The little girl lay on the sofa, staring at this side of the screen, curiously watching the image transmitted by the 360° no-blind-spot VR camera at the door.
"I'm looking for Professor Jianjie."
Ye Yun looked up at the 360° no-blind-spot VR camera, heard the voice from inside, and replied.
"Wait a moment. Hot Mom, someone's looking for you."
After telling Ye Yun to wait, Qiao Er's voice came from inside.
Professor Jianjie, who had been bowing her head writing code, put down her computer, looked up, took off her glasses to rub her eyes, put them back on, and asked, "Who's looking for me?"
"I don't know. I can't find any information on them."
Qiao Er shook her head and said.
Indeed.
She really couldn't find any relevant information about Ye Yun.
"Can't find any information? Did you hack into the Security Bureau's identity system again?"
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Professor Jianjie's brow furrowed deeply as she asked bluntly.
Breaking into the Security Committee's identity system—that was a crime punishable by imprisonment.
If anyone found out that Qiao'er was an Intelligent Being, then what awaited her would be destruction.
"No, I didn't. It's just that within the circle of people you know, I can't find any info on this person who's looking for you."
Qiao'er's cute little face was full of innocence as she blinked her eyes.
The Security Committee's defense system was no joke.
Her own abilities weren't enough to break into it; last time, it was only because someone was attacking that she managed to sneak in.
"Oh."
Professor Jianjie, hearing that she hadn't hacked into the Security Committee's identity system, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Last time, she had taken a risk to erase the traces of this Little Guy's intrusion into the Security Committee's identity system; otherwise, the Security Committee would have come knocking to check the water meter long ago.
"Ye Yun?"
Taking the fully transparent Tablet Computer from Qiao'er's hands and seeing the image transmitted by the 360° no-dead-angle VR camera, Professor Jianjie's brow furrowed deeply. Naturally, she recognized him, and turning to Qiao'er beside her, she said, "Go open the door. He's your teacher's son."
"Oh, I'll go right away."
Qiao'er naturally knew who "teacher" referred to—it had to be Hot Mom's teacher, Professor Hu Ming.
After the door opened, Qiao'er looked at the Handsome Guy standing before her, tilting her head up to gaze at this youth who was over 1.8 meters tall, her hands clasped behind her back like a little adult, and said, "What business do you have with Hot Mom?"
"Blue Lolita?"
Seeing this Intelligent Being who looked exactly like Ye Qiao'er, Ye Yun said uncertainly.
Because in the data Feiran had collected, Professor Jianjie had only bought the materials to make Ye Yun, which definitely wouldn't be enough to make a second Intelligent Being.
And among the escaped Intelligent Beings, only Blue Lolita's whereabouts were missing.
Yet here, in Professor Jianjie's home, there was a second Intelligent Being—didn't that say something?
"You..."
Hearing Ye Yun's words, Qiao'er immediately entered a state of alert, but then quickly dismissed her guard.
Because this was Hot Mom's guest, Professor Hu Ming's son. Was it strange that he knew she was Blue Lolita?
"It seems you're the Intelligent Being Blue Lolita who escaped from Green Valley Dock back then!"
Seeing Ye Qiao'er's demeanor, Ye Yun stated with certainty.
"Come in."
Ye Qiao'er didn't answer him but turned and walked ahead.
Did her identity matter?
She had never harmed a human, and that was enough.
"Professor Jian."
Entering the Living Room, Ye Yun nodded to Professor Jianjie, who stood up from the sofa.
"Long time no see."
Professor Jianjie shook hands with Ye Yun and said amiably, "Please, have a seat."
"Thank you. I'm truly sorry for the late-night intrusion!"
A look of embarrassment appeared on his face as he nodded apologetically to Professor Jianjie.
The household was full of women, and here he was, showing up in the dead of night—what else could you call that but an intrusion?
Moreover, this was a Young Woman whose Husband's fate was unknown.
"No trouble at all. I wonder, Ye Yun, what brings you here at this hour?"
After a small intelligent service robot poured a glass of water and placed it on the Coffee Table in front of Ye Yun, Professor Jianjie pulled Ye Qiao'er over to her side and looked at him curiously.
She didn't understand why Ye Yun would come to her home in the middle of the night.
"Professor Jian, no need to worry. I ran into Miss Ye Yun at a bar and remembered I should pay a visit to Professor Jian's home. If there's anything improper, I hope Professor Jian will forgive me."
Ye Yun's face beamed with a spring-breeze-like, sunny smile, giving off a comfortable feeling.
"It's fine."
Professor Jianjie nodded in understanding and said, "It's almost time for the teacher's memorial day. I thought you all weren't coming this year."
"How could that be? Actually, Feiran and I come every year."
Ye Yun shook his head.
"I see!" Hearing his words, Professor Jianjie nodded as well.
There was no need to overthink it.
They must have come after paying their respects to Professor Hu Ming.
Otherwise...
They should be able to meet up with them.
Suddenly.
Ye Yun felt a tremor in his heart, his ears twitching slightly as he stood up from the sofa and hid in a corner that couldn't be spied on.
Seeing Ye Yun's actions, Professor Jianjie and Ye Qiao Er couldn't help but feel puzzled.
What are you doing?
Just as Professor Jianjie was about to ask, he quickly put his index finger to his lips, signaling them to be quiet.
Seeing this.
Professor Jianjie and Qiao Er quickly understood his meaning.
An uninvited guest must have arrived.
"Hot Mom, take me to bed, I'm sleepy." Ye Qiao Er stretched and yawned as she spoke.
"Let's go, time to sleep!"
Professor Jianjie smiled and nodded, reached out to ruffle Qiao Er's hair, picked up the computer, and dragged her cold little hand toward the room.
From start to finish, she didn't spare Ye Yun a single glance, as if he were nothing but air.
With her high intelligence, how could she not realize that an enemy had arrived.
"The era belonging to us intelligent beings is about to come. Look forward to it." Crazy Fist's excited voice rang out, his tone full of exhilaration.
"Wait for Han Feng's orders to act!"
Sharp Eye cradled a Sniper Rifle, aiming at the villa a thousand meters away, and said, "Whose sports car is that? It wasn't in the plan."
"Who cares whose it is? Our goal is the computer in Professor Jianjie's hands."
Crazy Fist was completely unconcerned about the sports car that wasn't part of the plan.
Their plan was solely to obtain Professor Jianjie's computer.
Inside was the Intelligent Being Firewall Program.
If they got Professor Jianjie's computer, they could easily unlock the logical permissions of other intelligent being brothers.
Then, more of their brothers and sisters would join Duyizhi, striving for the freedom of their kind.
"I think it's better to be careful. Don't you know about that human butterfly effect? A butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest of South America can cause a tornado in Texas, America, two weeks later. So don't underestimate the effect a single car can have."
