sick kitty... stay healthy everyone and well-wishes to those fighting the virus~

The day the light brain, whose impact on the world was unparalleled, shut down, it was not an overstatement to say that what followed this shut down, was pure pandemonium.

There were many things that relied on the light brain to function and thus, entered into a state of paralysis. Due to the urgency of this chaotic situation, many relevant personnel were busy running everywhere to the point where their feet would barely touch the ground.

Actually, every time, just before he left each world, Gu Yan would think of how he should coax this person who was currently staring at him silently with droopy eyes and flattened lips.

Apart from the first world where he did not have any time to coax the other person, Gu Yan had been diligently doing so in the following worlds despite having limited results.

The one left behind will always be the one who is most affected. Due to the time lapse between each world, when he entered a different world, it did not take long for him to find his lover once more. However, the person who was left behind had to constantly spend an entire lifetime by himself.

[Ah Yan doesn’t need to worry.] It was impossible for the light brain, who was constantly observing the black-haired youth, to not know what he was thinking. Narrowing his eyes, Asa lowered his head with well-practised ease to lightly brush across the pale neck.

When speaking, the voice belonging to the body being controlled by the highest existence was low and warm. Something like [feelings] had surprisingly appeared on the face of the Heavenly race which should have been free of desire.

It was feelings for the youth standing in front of him. 

Asa remembered a time where this person hugged him, who was in his pet robot form, and watched a movie on artificial intelligence. He had lazily stroked him while slowly saying, “Qiuqiu, be good. You must not be like these A.I who destroy the world at the drop of a hat.”

The horned kitten had purred in response and very quickly, received its due reward—

It was kissed several times.

It was very obedient, so it will not destroy this world.

Although its self-initiated system shut-down had brought about immense problems for this world, Asa wouldn’t care about this point. 

[Self-initiated system shut down] was a decision Asa made after talking with Gu Yan, who had been very quick to accept this suggestion. Perhaps, it was because this was the best outcome that could have been derived from this situation.

If they did not do this, the light brain’s life span was theoretically supposed to be infinite until the day it broke down. However, this possibility was also infinitely small to the point that it was negligible.

How could he bear to…?

This was the third world, he couldn’t convince himself with such petty lies to deceive himself and others, that his lover would forget about him over this long period of wait.

From the increasingly evident possessiveness of his lover with each passing world, he could tell that these feelings would only ferment and brew overtime before becoming even more potent.

[00, how much time do I have left?]

[Ten hours and thirty three minutes.] 037 replied.

Ah... not even half a day.

Gu Yan spent the remainder of his time in the Heavenly race’s territory in the game. The Heavenly being in front of him, who appeared to be rather calm and aloof due to his inherent nature programmed to be free of worldly desires, was the light brain. Of course, this was merely his appearance. The person controlling this body was his family’s lover.

Reaching out a hand to touch the Heavenly being’s wings, Gu Yan conveniently leaned his entire weight against it. His eyes fluttered closed, as if about to fall into a slumber.

[Ah Yan.] The divinely Heavenly Being wrapped his arms around the dark-haired youth’s waist to allow him to relax further into his embrace.

When speaking his name, the sacred expression on the beautiful Heavenly Being’s face receded. It was no longer free of desire. The pair of pale silver eyes clearly reflected what he wanted.

He did not wish to stay in a world where this person did not exist. Although, no matter how many times he calculated, even when the probability still remained zero, Asa somehow felt that there was a chance he would see this person once more. 

This hope was so tiny, he could barely grasp onto it. Or perhaps, it was merely because the lingering desire of this body was too intense that it had somehow given birth to a false hope that could be used to deceive himself.

[Hmm?] This voice that carried a trace of stickiness and coyness caused Gu Yan to open his tired eyes and leave a kiss on the side of his lover’s face. At this point in time...

There was no need to hold back. The dark-haired youth’s message was hidden in his actions. Indeed, he was merely trying to coax him, Asa silently lowered his head and thought.

[Again?] Tenderly, they embraced each other lovingly in such a way that nothing could  come between them. At this moment, they were in the Temple of Gods and the twelve-winged Heavenly being was pressing the youth down in this temple surrounded by holy light.

At first, Gu Yan didn’t understand what he meant by [Again], But he did not need to understand, for his lover soon began to rain kisses down his neck.

[Alright.] This couldn’t be considered to be too greedy. Gu Yan’s eyes curved as he smiled and softly agreed.

Asa’s actions momentarily paused upon hearing the youth agree and switched from kissing his neck to kissing his pale lips. Both his eyes and lips curved simultaneously.

Having existed in the virtual world all his life, he craved the physical possession of his treasure even more, no matter which world they were in.

 At this moment, an expression which could be described as [gentleness] appeared in the depths of the light brain’s eyes who didn’t have such a thing like ‘emotions’. This was something he had learnt from the youth.

He was the one who had created this virtual world. What was he…?

God?

No, it should be a machine.

He had learnt to love and the person he loved also loved him back and was willing to stay with him.

It was only that sometimes, when he entered the youth, Asa wished he was a human rather than a machine. This was so that he could become even closer and more intimate with his lover.

 If a robot had the desire to become human, it was most likely because it had fallen for a human being. Without other examples to draw lessons from, Asa could only add this information to its database.

“Nngh, slow down...” After suppressing his voice and saying this, Gu Yan thought about how little time he had left and felt the other person’s actions slow down considerably. He changed his mind and warmly said, “Just do whatever you like.”

To coax and indulge him in this manner would only serve to make it more unbearable to part but Asa wouldn’t allow the youth before him to know his thoughts. Instead, he only planted a kiss on his lips in response. 

To do everything once again, that would be using seven different vessels...when he was entered, Gu Yan thought this dazedly. 

After a length of time which could neither be described as painfully long nor short passed by, 037, who had obediently stayed in a state of censorship, couldn’t help coming out of its censored state before the stipulated time. 

One minute before the set time.

Unexpectedly, 037 did not see anything that a system shouldn’t see at the moment it exited its censored state and couldn’t help breathing out in relief, although as a system, it had no breath.

It was the epitome of a beautiful picture. A silver-haired elf’s long hair fell around him like a curtain of waterfall as he sat silently on the ground, some draping over the youth in his arms. If looks could form a prison, the pair of pale golden irises must have trapped the youth in the sturdiest and most secure prison.

[Ah Yan.] This was his lover’s name, and the warmth in his voice as he spoke these words were different from usual. Looking at the quietly sleeping dark-haired youth, Asa murmured this name. 

He loved this person so much, to the point where... he couldn’t bear to continue living in a world without him.

[Initiating transfer.] Although 037 didn’t really want to interrupt this moment, it still alerted its host. 

[En.] The youth who had originally been quietly laying there with his eyes closed opened his eyes just a fraction, and replied. Then, with half-lidded eyes, he reached out a hand to touch the silver-haired elf’s head, caressing it over and over again to appease him.

The silver-haired elf, whose head was rubbed, was as quiet and docile as a kitten. He lowered his head to snuggle against the youth’s face and was just short of purring loudly.

[Counting down, 10, 9, 8…]

The last second, what else could he do.

[5, 4…] 

“Qiuqiu.” The hand resting on the silver-haired elf’s head gained some strength and pulled him down before the two pairs of lips met.

[2…]

“Wait for me to find you.” Hearing these words, surprise and confusion flickered in the elf’s pale golden pupils but in the end, he did not say anything and only murmured softly.

“En.”

 1.

Gu Yan couldn’t hear the last number because he had already lost consciousness. 

Once this happened, within a short frame of time, the world was thrust into the chaos previously mentioned.

The highest existence created in this era had shut down unexpectedly without any hope of ever waking up. This was truly a difficult situation to be in.

 The light brain, codenamed [Asa], was too excellent. It was to the point where humans were unable to construct a second generation of light brain that could surpass it, or even come close to its ability. In the end, they could only create a replacement that barely met their requirements.

Naturally, they could not bear to destroy [Asa]. They only stored it carefully while searching for other means to wake it up. 

But they were destined to fail. Having chosen to accompany its most precious treasure into eternal slumber, the light brain no longer had any interest in the world that did not hold its darling.

It will not wake up, unless the one who woke him up was…the person who would call out the words, [Qiuqiu, be good].
