MTL - Wife is Not Divorced-Chapter 99 Oriko

The sun shines through the gaps in the heavy curtains, shining on the messy desk full of various documents.

On the messy pile of papers sat a dark-haired woman in a white lab coat, frowning, distracted by the ray of light hitting her eyelids.

"I'm bored-"

Chu Lian rubbed his eyebrows, his long hair was piled on his shoulders in a mess, and shouted at the communication screen: "How many times have I said that, I have no more experiments!"

"The physical quality of the experimental products in the slums is not good, and the fat content is too low, and they can't survive the third phase of the test. I have said that they want to be executed prisoners, those who are relatively healthy!"

Chu Lian "tsk": "You guys work overtime to make toxins that you want me to make, and you are reluctant to send the experimental products, what can I do?"

What seemed to be said on the other end of the communication, Chu Lian sneered after hearing it, cut off the connection with a "snack", and knocked the instrument on the table to the ground:

"Bangdang-!"

The instrument was broken several times, the spring and the circuit board were torn apart, and one of the screws rolled out a long way and stopped beside the door that opened a crack.

A glutinous rice dumpling stuck his head out, his big eyes covered with a layer of water mist, and looked at her timidly: "Doctor?"

"That... Researcher No. 5 is looking for you." The sound of the glutinous rice dumplings was also soft, as if the sweet filling could overflow with a poke.

Chu Lian glanced at her, flipped through the messy table, took out a portable hard drive, and waved to the door: "CO1, come here."

CO1 quickly trotted over.

"This is an encrypted file," Chu Lian threw the hard drive on the ground at random, sat on the edge of the table and shook his calf, "Before this evening, give it to me after cracking it."

CO1 lay on the ground and picked up the hard drive, she traced the edge of the hard drive, her voice sounded small; "May I ask what type it is?"

Chu Lian held his jaw and said, "D21, or D32, you will study it yourself later."

CO1 said, "If it's D21 type encryption, I should be able to deliver it to you within two hours."

Chu Lian was originally lying on the table, but after hearing this, he straightened up: "What did you say...? Come here."

CO1's eyes lit up, and the small dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible. She ran over happily holding the hard drive, and almost tripped herself halfway.

Chu Lian grabbed her cheeks, rubbed her hard, and squeezed CO1 into a tear.

She frowned and sneered: "As expected of an experimental product whose genes have been modified several times, the brain is easy to use."

CO1 looked at her watery, "Thank-thank you."

Chu Lian let go of her hand, and two red marks appeared on Cibai's little face. CO1 touched his face and heard her say in his ear, "Okay, see me again after the crack is finished."

CO1 nodded, and then ran out all the way "ta-ta", not forgetting to close the door carefully, not daring to make too much noise.

She trotted across the corridor. Researcher No. 16 was waiting for her at the door. She bent down and rubbed CO1's head: "Xiao Chu is back."

CO1 said: "My name is not Xiao Chu. The number given to me by the doctor is chu_offspring_1. For convenience, my abbreviation is CO1."

Researcher No. 16 paused, looking at her with soft eyes, which contained something that CO1 couldn't understand: "Xiao Chu is a nickname, a secret between us, okay?"

CO1 was a little puzzled: "Okay."

No. 16 rubbed her head again, and then helped CO1, who was not tall enough, to open the electronic lock of the room.

In the small room, most of the space was occupied by several large bookshelves, which were full of various books and documents, blocking most of the windows and sunlight.

CO1 climbed up on his small table and familiarly connected the hard disk to the computer. After a simple operation, the cracking program started automatically.

The encryption of this file is not high. You can try brute force cracking first. If it takes too long, it is not too late to crack the algorithm.

And the waiting time, CO1 likes to do some things she likes, and don't have to worry about being called by the doctor or other researchers to do the experimental test.

CO1 just turned six years old this year, and has already mastered the various "fishing skills" that migrant workers are proficient in. She jumped off the table and lay beside the floor-to-ceiling windows that were mostly blocked by the bookcase, flipping through the encyclopedia with relish.

Today's chapter is "Mammals". CO1 cherishes and slowly turns the pages. She reads the text very quickly, but every picture in the encyclopedia will take a long time to look at, and sometimes she can't help touching it with her hands. touch.

Of course, no matter how much you touch it, it still feels the same, because it's just a picture, the underside of the finger is smooth and flat, there is no rough bark, and there are no fluffy ears.

CO1 stared at a color picture of a puppy with only blond hair, fluffy ears upturned, happily chasing a tennis ball in the picture.

'Researcher 16 always says I'm cute, that I'm still a child, what a strange person. ’

CO1 thought to himself, 'In terms of cuteness, this puppy is obviously much cuter than me, it looks fluffy, I really want to touch it. ’

The thick curtains were drawn in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and only some sunlight leaked in dimly. CO1 felt that it was a little dark. She climbed to the edge of the window and reached out to open the curtains a little.

She grabbed the fabric, but her hand suddenly stopped.

On the researcher's fence, sat a fluffy, golden thing, very similar to the puppy I just saw in the book, and seemed to be looking around at something.

CO1 blinked, she pushed open the glass door, barely squeezed out through the small gap, she stepped on the dry soil, and walked into the courtyard.

In the almost dazzling sunlight, the child was sitting on the edge of the fence, most of his body leaning forward, looking shaky.

CO1 was very curious. There were adults in the institute. She had never seen a child similar to her, so she raised her head and shouted, "Hello?"

The sound was not loud, but the child was terrified. She didn't step on the edge, and she fell down suddenly, hitting CO1.

"Puff-!"

The two children smashed together and rolled to the ground in embarrassment. CO1 was a little sore from being smashed, and barely managed to straighten up.

CO1 was stunned.

The blond hair is fluffy and fluffy, and a pair of light-colored eyes can be vaguely seen, just like the puppy in the picture in the book, looking at himself wetly. . . .

If it weren't for the fact that he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it, and was chased and beaten three streets by the baker's owner, Lizi would never have taken the risk and climbed the wall of the research institute.

The slums say that there is a monster kept in a research institute here. I heard that it can eat people. Every time people who sign up as volunteers for the so-called "reward", they basically go there and never return.

"You, are you alright?!"

Seeing the glutinous rice dumplings being smashed by herself, Lizi quickly straightened up and stepped back several steps, only to bump into the tree again with a bang: "Hey!"

That glutinous rice dumpling was very delicate, and she was the most beautiful little girl Lizi had ever seen. She was white and soft, and she had big watery black eyes.

She looked at Lizi without blinking, but there was no expression on her face and her eyes were light, so that Lizi could not see whether she was curious or hostile.

Lizi was a little embarrassed, she rubbed her head and whispered, "You...why did you catch me?"

The glutinous rice dumpling said, "Because I can't escape."

pear:"…"

How can I say it, it's a really simple and rude answer.

The glutinous rice dumpling also stood up and patted the dust on her body. Lizi realized that she was a little taller than herself, but her face looked round.

"It's really strange, this is the horror institute that can eat people," Lizi muttered to herself, "Why are there children here?"

Unexpectedly, the glutinous rice dumplings suddenly opened their mouths and explained: "I am not a child, my number is chu_offspring_1, CO1 for short."

Lizi stared at her blankly, her mouth opened into an "o" shape, and after three seconds of silence, she uttered two words: "What?"

CO1 patiently repeats it.

"I still don't understand," Lizi said dully. "My name is Lizi. Do you have a simpler name...for example, a nickname?"

CO1 was expressionless and said, "It's really strange. I don't need such a formal and regular number. Another weirdo who likes "nicknames"."

pear:"……"

Wait, who's the weirdo!

Seeing Li Zi's speechless expression, the glutinous rice dumpling pursed her lips and sighed very old-fashioned.

"Little Chu," she said.

The voice was glutinous, but the voice was clear and cold, which reminded Lizi of a winding, crystal-clear creek deep in the slum woods.

The stream there is cold and clean, and Lizi often goes there to wash her hair and bathe secretly, but compared to Xiao Chu in front of her, she still looks dirty.

Lizi lowered her head, put her hands stained with soil behind her back, and said timidly, "Xiao...Xiao Chu."

CO1 said, "Hmm."

Lizi was standing in the same place at a loss, but CO1 took a few steps forward and stood in front of her.

CO1 stared at Pear for a while, and finally couldn't help reaching out to touch the soft-looking blonde hair.

The soft hair was scattered in the palm of the hand, and it was stained with a few fallen leaves. It was like silk and satin, and it felt cold and soft to the touch.

pear:"…?"

Lizi: "Why are you touching my hair?"

CO1 looked at her, those calm black eyes suddenly became a little smarter: "Your hair is so soft and fluffy."

Lizi actually didn't understand what she meant, but when CO1 smiled, she blushed: "Yes, yes?"

CO1 nodded: "Well, would you like to be the No. 2 volunteer for the plush softness test?"

Lizi can understand every word in this sentence, but when you put it together, you don't know what it means at all.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to reply only to the part she could understand: "No. 2? Who is the volunteer No. 1?"

CO1 said: "My pillow."

pear:"……"

CO1 tugged at her hair and got a little closer, pear froze in place, and could smell a little of her fragrance.

Soft and light, it is an unknown fragrance, it should be the smell of "shower gel" as the slum sisters call it.

In the slums, it is very difficult for children to survive, they are not physically strong enough and not physically strong enough to do most of the work.

Food and work are hard to find even for adults, let alone relatively vulnerable children. For so long, it was the first time Lizi saw a child similar to her.

She looked at the other party and swallowed a little hesitantly: "When... when I become a volunteer, will I die and will I have something to eat?"

CO1 frowned: "It's said that it's a plush softness test, and it's not a toxin or human spontaneous combustion experiment. How could someone die?"

As she spoke, she lowered her head and rummaged in the lab coat pocket, and found a chocolate biscuit, hesitated for a moment, and handed it to the pear.

"This is the deposit," CO1 said seriously. "If you're willing to come in with me, I have a lot of other delicious food."

The adults in the slums have said many times that they must never approach the research institute, and every time they mention it, it is a secret.

But Lizi was really too hungry, or maybe the glutinous rice dumpling in front of her was too cute, in short, she couldn't stand the temptation.

The two children drilled back into the research institute through the gap.

The room was clean, with bookshelves and documents everywhere, all things Pear couldn't understand.

Compared with the slum's filthy environment, the Institute is much better.

With delicious food, a cozy environment, and a fluffy blanket, it's just heaven!

CO1 took out the compressed biscuits prepared by the doctor, and the chocolate secretly stuffed by the researcher, and piled them on the ground like a gift.

Lizi was surprised and delighted: "Will you give it to me?"

CO1: "Of course not."

pear:"…"

CO1 divided the snacks seriously, half of them were fairly even, but Lizi noticed that she was sneaking all the sweets, chocolate, marshmallows to the other side, and gave herself some salty biscuits.

She likes sweets so much, Pear thought.

The two children ate together, and Pear gushed with CO1 while gorging on the biscuits.

She found that CO1 was really ignorant of the outside world. No matter what she said, she would open her eyes and listen carefully.

So Lizi told her about many other things, such as slum children who named themselves after fruit, and fragrant bakeries where they could steal bread.

Another example is the North-South Alliance in war.

Pear is like a new encyclopedia, replacing the old one that CO1 flipped through, vividly telling many stories she has never heard before.

After filling her stomach, Lizi climbed up the big banyan tree in the research institute, and just as she jumped to the edge of the wall, the weird glutinous rice dumpling also came out.

CO1 raised his head: "Will you still come?"

She said: "I have a lot of delicious food every day, if you want to come, I will leave you all, chocolate, cookies, and a lot of candy."

The research institute is very large, and the courtyard is also very large. Beneath the tall building, CO1 appears to be a small one, looking like a homeless kitten.

Lizi was about to turn over, but she couldn't help but froze in place, her throat was very dry, she turned her back for a long time when she refused, and finally swallowed it.

She said, "Okay, I'll come tomorrow too."

As soon as he finished speaking, CO1 suddenly laughed, his big eyes turned into beautiful crescents, and there were cute little dimples on his cheeks: "Okay."

Pear shuddered and almost fell off the edge of the wall. She patted her slightly flushed cheeks, waved to CO1, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The time in the academy was like a dream, it was unbelievably beautiful, and she had to wake up after all, to step on the rough ground and scorched earth, and return to the slum.

The sky was gloomy and gloomy, the darkness was like a **** beast, and there was a fishy smell and stench all around. There were garbage everywhere, and there were people who died of starvation.

Lizi turned a blind eye to this. She stepped on the torn shoes and quickly followed the shadows by the street to the front of a collapsed wall.

She removed the small stone as a camouflage, and then drilled in through the small hole. Who would have thought that there would be a small triangular space in the collapsed building.

There are small beds made of leaves, small cups made of fruit shells, a few tattered fairy tale books that were bitten by insects, and now there are half a cookie that is reluctant to finish.

The pear lay down on the leaves, and the surroundings were silent. She raised her head slightly and looked at the narrow gap in the wall that was lit by light.

The stars in the sky are so beautiful. .

Sometimes, Lizi really doubts whether Xiao Chu (CO1) is a robot, with such a beautiful face, but the thoughts in his head are all different from ordinary people.

For example, when Lizi boasted that he had beaten a group of children to become the "little bully" of the slum, and asked CO1 what his achievements were:

She would pull out a large schematic diagram and say to Lizi one by one: "Look, my genes have been modified in many places, here...there..."

CO1 talked eloquently for half an hour, and when he turned around, he found that Lizi had passed out and was sleeping soundly on the small pillow.

Maybe the days in the research institute are so boring. The glutinous rice dumpling has been trapped here, looking at the sky surrounded by the wall, and never went out.

[If there is a chance, I will take her out to play. 】

Pear thought so.

It's just that she didn't expect that her "idea" would come true a year later, at a very tragic price.

On this day, she was chewing biscuits, CO1 was flipping through the encyclopedia beside her, and suddenly pointed to a bird on the book: "Pear, have you ever seen a nightingale?"

Lizi shook his head: "I don't know what it is."

Usually pears talk, but today is very rare. CO1 also shared with her some things that happened around him.

"The doctor is really strange recently. She has been given a music box these days, and she will take it out to see if she has something to do."

CO1 held his chin and looked puzzled: "Other researchers said that the song was called "Nightingale", but I listened to it for a long time and couldn't hear anything to do with birds."

Strange, music box?

That person is a Chu lunatic who is not known to everyone in the Beimeng, why is he interested in a music box that is very common among the people and used to play music?

Lizi didn't know either: "It's really weird."

She was chewing on the biscuits, and there was more than half of the biscuits left in her hand. CO1 suddenly came over and said, "Is this delicious? You eat deliciously."

Pear said: "It's delicious, it's the best thing I've ever eaten."

CO1 blinked, and she suddenly leaned over, opened her reddish mouth, and bit into the biscuit in Lizi's hand.

Li Zi stopped even breathing, and froze in place a little overwhelmed. The two children were so close, she could even count every eyelash of CO1.

It was dense and pitch black, with a slight arc.

I feel like I could put a coin on it.

CO1 took a small bite of the biscuit, she chewed it, and frowned quickly: "It's so salty, I don't like it."

Lizi thought, do you like sweets?

There was nothing to do in CO1 today, and she was flipping through the tattered encyclopedia again. Lizi leaned over to take a look, and it was full of words.

"Then... that," Li Zi said in a low voice, "my... um, there are a few fairy tale books in my little home. If you're interested, would you like to read them?"

CO1's eyes widened: "What is a fairy tale?"

Li Zi was stopped by this "profound" question. She was stunned for a moment, and then stammered and explained: "It's... an interesting story? There are princesses and princes."

CO1 listened to her carefully.

Lizi didn't know if she had explained it well. In short, she was talking nonsense. She felt that she was in a mess and lowered her head a little ashamed.

However, the corner of the clothes was suddenly pulled, and CO1 leaned towards her a little, with a serious look: "Okay."

CO1 said: "I want to see your fairy tale!"

She smiles so sweetly. Pear has never eaten glutinous rice dumplings, but she firmly believes that dumplings should taste like this, sweet, sweet to the heart.

The two kids agreed.

That night, Lizi returned to her small home as usual. She took out the some old fairy tale books and slumped on the table.

The clothes were dirty. Lizi carefully selected for a long time, and finally found a relatively clean place. She dipped in the stream water and carefully wiped the dirt from the fairy tale book.

[Xiao Chu will definitely like it very much. 】

[I want to show her. 】

She lay on the leaves, holding the few fairy tales in her arms, in a daze, in the moonlight reflected in the gap, she fell asleep slowly.

The next morning, Li Zi was woken up.

It was an incomparably huge, earth-shattering "boom" sound that shook the entire slum, and the streets were full of screams.

The pear drilled out from the gap, and the first thing that caught my eye was a scarlet sky.

She froze in place for a moment.

On the top of the mountain not far away, countless explosions occurred one after another, thick smoke billowed, and the fire was raging without a trace, engulfing the entire research institute in an instant.

[Chu madman blew up her research institute. 】

People said that, but no one mentioned the girl named "Little Chu", and everyone didn't even know that Dr. Chu had a daughter.

Crispy biscuits, soft blankets, clean books and papers, and the cute glutinous rice dumplings that always say weird things.

No, no, I'm going to find her!

Lizi didn't think much about it, she stuffed the fairy tale book into her home, and ran towards the research institute.

The research institute is located on the top of the mountain, very far away from the slum. Lizi is already running desperately, but it still takes a lot of time.

During this time, the fire continued to spread, the sky was full of smoke, and even the air was quenched with hot sparks.

When Lizi arrived at the research institute, the front yard was almost burned to the ground, and she rushed to the backyard anxiously, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the general condition of the backyard was fine.

Amidst the scattered smoke, sitting on top of the half-collapsed fence, a child wearing a strange "mask" seemed to be hesitating how to get down.

Li Zi rushed over, waved her hand vigorously, and shouted, "Xiao Chu! Is that you?"

The "Mask" child turned her head, and then slipped in Lizi's sight, and she fell off the low wall:

"Puff-!"

He hit the pear hard.

"Hey, eh." Lizi was hit so badly that she rubbed her hair and saw the child raised his head and took off the oversized "mask".

Under the dim sky, she was the only color, so bright and eye-catching, instantly occupying Li Zi's entire line of sight, and she has never left.

CO1 blinked and said, "Pear, are you here to show me a fairy tale book?"

The author says:

[Small theater where we met for the first time]

Lizi: What a strange little girl, but she looks so cute and white, like a glutinous rice dumpling.

CO1: Fluffy blond puppy (locking stereotypes all the way to marriage)

【Small Theater 2】

Pear: Oh my God! exploded! I'm going to find her! !

CO1: Hold on, let me find a gas mask first. (Very calm and not afraid at all)?
