Chapter 363: Chapter 219: Brave Diller, Fearless of Difficulties!_3

These things were all a matter of course, after all, the anti-intellectual tendencies here in Lonely City were even worse than those of Lighthouse Country in my previous life, and all sorts of nonsensical heresies always had their own audiences.

"But," his tone shifted, "it seems that Sister Liu has researched the application of artificial intelligence in all aspects of society. What, have you long thought about wanting to be the queen of Lonely City?"

"What?" Liu Tingruo’s voice turned slightly cold upon hearing this. She turned her head to stare directly at Jiang Shu, her fingertips slightly lifting his chin, forcing him to look up into her eyes, and said softly, "Am I not worthy?"

"..." This queenly demeanor really hit Jiang Shu’s peculiar desires, but of course, he couldn’t let her off easily, so he said with a chuckle, "Of course you’re worthy, only Queen Liu..."

Jiang Shu paused for a moment, he took a piece of paper and wiped Liu Tingruo’s oily lips, "Next time you say something like that, wipe your lips first, and, you don’t need to secretly stand on tiptoe to make me look up to you, do you? Isn’t that a bit too calculating?"

"Tsk." Liu Tingruo, having her little scheme exposed, didn’t respond much, and continued to gulp down her soup while holding the bowl.

And Jiang Shu whispered in her ear, "Then tonight, you can be the queen."

Upon hearing that, Liu Tingruo’s soup drinking motion suddenly paused, she choked on a mouthful of soup in her throat, and when she looked up again, her face was smeared with quite a bit of soup, which led her to thump Jiang Shu’s chest.

Seizing the opportunity, the two of them went upstairs to the bathroom together.

It was just to wash their faces.

Lang Tai, who remained at the dining table, watched their departing figures, then shook his head.

He picked up the soup bowl in front of him, took a small sip, then another, and then he touched his own face and looked at his hand.

Not a drop of soup on it.

So, the expression on his face was as if he said nothing, yet as if he said everything.

——

Diller was still tied to the chair, maintaining an uncomfortable position, his hands shackled together behind his back, but only one hand, because the other was a prosthetic, which Liu Tingruo had already taken off a while ago.

Deep indentations from the restraint were visible on the wrist of that hand.

But he didn’t care at all, for he had long since severed the pain feedback in his own body.

In fact, as long as one has the feedback information of being hurt, pain isn’t so important; on the contrary, overly sensitive and intense pain can cause primates to be at a disadvantage when fighting with other animals.

Many mechanisms of the human body have already fallen behind, and they certainly need to be updated.

At least that’s what he believed.

And once again, he began to daydream, Diller realized that his thoughts were not focused enough while being here.

Counting the time, it was probably already two o’clock in the morning by now, and generally, this is when humans sleep the deepest.

So, Jiang Shu wouldn’t come to find him again today, but leaving him hanging was definitely to give him a show of power, to gain the upper hand in the subsequent negotiations.

In fact, the longer the time dragged on, the more it was to his advantage.

"Hm?" Suddenly, he noticed something unusual in the direction of the ventilation fan.

There appeared a sheet of white paper, and on it was a line of text: Mister Diller, I have come to rescue you.

In an instant, Diller looked toward the security cameras in the four corners of the room.

The cameras were intelligently controlled, able to rotate angles freely, and it was precisely this intelligence that had all four cameras focused on him.

He slightly lowered his head, his expression still emotionless, but his heart was already filled with excitement.

Sure enough, the message he sent had gotten out, through that takeout order.

He had a chance to escape.
