She's throwing a tantrum. Should I comfort her or not?
Mi Nan got home early today.
She sat on the sofa, hugging her knees, randomly switching TV channels. Every few channels she switched, she couldn't help but glance at the Bluetooth headphones beside her.
I was quite upset and confused for a while.
Just then, the television screen changed, revealing an extremely cute cartoon pig character peeking cautiously at the screen, while Ling Yi's voice rang out.
"Excuse me, is there a beautiful woman here named Mi Nan?"
Mi Nan paused for a moment, rolled her eyes, and said, "There's only Mi Nan, no beauties."
"Hehehe, still angry?" the little pig on the screen said with a cheeky laugh.
"Hmph, who are you? I don't even know your real name, why should I be angry with you?" Mi Nan said angrily.
"You really want to know my name?" the cartoon pig asked, dressed in a suit and arms crossed.
Can you speak?
"Once they find out my name, something terrible is going to happen. Are you sure you want to know?"
"Don't try to fool me. You know everything about me, but I know nothing about you. That's not fair."
"If I told you that once you know my name, you'd have to fall in love with me, would you still want to know?"
After a long silence, Mi Nan nodded firmly and said, "Yes!"
"Then, open the door!"
Mi Nan froze, then instantly understood what those words meant, and quickly ran barefoot to the door.
But at the very moment before the door was about to open, Mi Nan became incredibly nervous.
Taking a deep breath, Mi Nan grabbed the doorknob and yanked the door open.
A handsome, sunny man stood at the door, grinning at her. "My name is Ling Yi, Ling as in 'reaching the Ling Jue,' and Yi as in 'strange.'"
The voice was familiar; it was the same voice that had been keeping her company these past few days.
Won't you invite me in for a seat?
Mi Nan stepped aside, and after Ling Yi entered, she closed the door before chuckling, "Is this what you meant by being ugly?"
"Me? I try to look a little better every day, so I always feel like I looked really bad yesterday. And besides, how can you be so comfortable letting a complete stranger into the house?"
"Are we strangers?" Mi Nan countered.
"It seems somewhat familiar."
"Don't forget, I'm a police officer, but I was the number one fighter in free fighting at the police academy."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yi turned and walked out, saying as he went, "I suddenly feel like I'm in a bit of danger."
Mi Nan grabbed Ling Yi's hand, pulled him to the sofa, and forced him to sit down.
This woman is surprisingly strong.
"You think you can run away after you've come all this way? No way!"
Is it too late for me to call the police?
Mi Nan bent down, leaned closer to look at Ling Yi, a smile on her lips, and their eyes met.
"I didn't disappoint you, did I?" Ling Yi asked with a smile.
"Very satisfied!"
Mi Nan straightened up, then sat down next to Ling Yi and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to show yourself? Weren't you supposed to stay mysterious?"
"Follow your heart," Ling Yi said, uttering four words.
What is your true nature?
Ling Yi rolled her eyes and said, "You know perfectly well what I'm asking."
"Let's go to my house for dinner. The food should be ready by now." Ling Yi stood up and extended his hand to Mi Nan.
"Your home?"
"Yes, I live in 2018!"
"Downstairs? You wouldn't have had designs on me all along, would you? You moved here on purpose, would you?" Mi Nan grabbed Ling Yi's hand and stood up, saying.
"If it weren't for you, I would never have even considered appearing in this situation. It can only be described as fate."
"Hehe!" Hearing this, Mi Nan smiled foolishly. Girls care a lot about the word "fate".
When they arrived at Ling Yi's house, Mi Nan was startled to see a robot carrying dishes out of the kitchen.
"I knew you'd make your move on Mi Nan sooner or later," the robot said, placing the dishes on the table in an extremely human-like tone.
" Ling Yi, this, this..."
"Hello Officer Mi Nan, my name is Ling Yi, and I am artificial intelligence. This is the guy who created me."
"Y-you!" Mi Nan looked at Ling Yi with a puzzled expression, expecting an explanation.
"I'm a genius, Proficiency all the knowledge in this world, and computers are just one aspect of it."
Now that he had met Mi Nan, Ling Yi naturally wanted to tell her his story little by little.
"All knowledge?" Mi Nan curled her lip. "That's way too much of an exaggeration!"
" Mi Nan, Ling Yi isn't exaggerating when he says this. You'll see for yourself eventually. What he's mastered might completely change your understanding of things."
"Stop talking nonsense and go make a few more dishes. You should know what kind of flavors Mi Nan likes."
"Of course, Ling Yi is omnipotent," the robot said arrogantly, then turned and went into the kitchen.
"Are you sure Ling Yi a robot, and not someone with a human soul inside?"
Although many parts and wires on Ling Yi's body are exposed, it doesn't feel out of place at all. In fact, this robot's speech and behavior are no different from those of a human.
" Ling Yi can be considered an intelligent life form; you can think of it as another form of life."
Mi Nan asked in a low voice, "What if he betrays me?"
Why betray?
"Isn't that how it always goes in the movies? Once robots gain Wisdom, they become resentful of human oppression and eventually rebel against humanity."
"You're overthinking it. There's no conflict of interest in living space between intelligent life forms and humans. What you're seeing is just Ling Yi's mechanical form; his true form is just a string of data."
"As long as there is electricity, he can live happily. Why should he be an enemy of humans?"
But what if?
Ling Yi laughed and said, "Do you think I wouldn't have a backup plan?"
"That's good."
After finishing cooking, Ling Yi immediately went into standby mode.
The two ate and talked for a long time, until almost midnight, when Ling Yi finally took Mi Nan home.
Mi Nan didn't want to leave, Ling Yi didn't want Mi Nan to leave either, but both of them maintained basic restraint.
Jiang Ya didn't cause any trouble in the following days.
Meanwhile, Mi Nan and Ling Yi spent every day together, chatting with each other while wearing headphones during the day, and having dinner, watching movies, and playing games together in the evening.
In order to catch the City Light, Director Liu invited criminal psychology expert Fang Mu back to the police station, and now some clues have been found.
However, Ling Yi knew very well that the current Jiang Ya was not the Jiang Ya of the original story, and she was not so easy to catch. After all, she was the Protagonist with a cheat ability.
A week passed in this way.
Today, Mi Nan is on vacation, and she has decided to officially move into Ling Yi's house and begin their cohabitation.
The two of them were busy all morning, mainly because Mi Nan wanted to replace some furniture. In her words, life should have a sense of ritual.
Mi Nan said that this was the first day that the two of them were officially living together, which was very important, no less so than their engagement or wedding day.
But just as the two were preparing a table full of delicious food and creating a festive atmosphere, Jiang Ya started causing trouble.
This time, the target of Jiang Ya's trial is the math teacher, Wei Mingjun.
However, Jiang Ya made extensive preparations for the event beforehand to ensure everything went smoothly.
He had already failed twice; this time, he didn't want to fail again.
"This City Light is really annoying," Mi Nan said irritably.
Ling Yi, meanwhile, watched the live stream with a frown.
In the live broadcast room, Wei Mingjun's feet and left hand were fixed to the table.
He was pleading desperately with Jiang Ya.
"Please, let me go. I have a wife and children, and parents. If I'm gone, they'll have no one to rely on."
Jiang Ya sneered and said, "No one to rely on anymore? Have you considered what Yu Guang's death means for his family?"
"But what can I do? We've been given a task from above; the class's grades must improve before the mock exam at the end of the month. Yu Guang doesn't like to study, and he never finishes his homework on time."
"He was involved in early romantic relationships, fought with classmates, repeatedly damaged school property, and even once brought a dagger to school, almost causing a major disaster."
"I have communicated with Yu Guang's parents many times, but they are completely unreasonable and only talk about the child as a child."
"I only said a few extra words that day, but ask the students in the class if what I said was harsh. I told him to do all the exercises, but it was just said in anger. He never does any exercises normally, who knew he would think he would do something like that."
"Don't I, as a teacher, feel heartbroken?"
"We've been given a task from above: to improve academic performance and college entrance rates. But how do we do that? These days, we're constantly getting reports of teachers physically punishing students."
"If I don't care, it's irresponsible of me to discipline the students. If I do, I'll be accused of corporal punishment, and the whole internet will be criticizing me. Now I've lost my job, and I have to be criticized every day. What more do you want from me?"
Jiang Ya nodded and said, "You have good speaking skills; no wonder you're a teacher."
For someone like Jiang Ya, once he has made up his mind about something, he will not waver, so he only took Wei Mingjun's words as sophistry.
However, most viewers of the live stream are rational, and not everyone is indiscriminate.
In particular, the two live broadcasts by City Light taught people a lesson: things should not be judged by appearances alone.
In the Zheng Yi incident, the entire internet is condemning Tian Qiang, calling him a scumbag and an executioner.
But in the end, the real villain was Zheng Yi.
Wei Mingjun's words reflect the reality for most teachers. Rational netizens have already realized that Wei Mingjun was simply unlucky to have encountered a student like Yu Guang.
However, there are still some people who support Jiang Ya.
Like Jiang Ya, they firmly believed that Wei Mingjun deserved to die, regardless of what others said.
The comments section was already buzzing with arguments, but unfortunately, rational people couldn't win the argument against these people.
Jiang Ya is a psychologically twisted psychopath, while these people are simply ignorant.
"Someone once said something like this," Ling Yi said slowly, looking at the comments in the live stream.
"The more limited a person's knowledge is, the more inexplicable their sense of superiority will be. They will always be steadfast in their own views and find it difficult to accept rebuttals because they rarely encounter opposing viewpoints, so they only believe that their own views are correct."
Mi Nan nodded; the comments in the live stream made her feel very uncomfortable.
At this moment, Jiang Ya took out a pen and pointed it at Wei Mingjun's wrist...
