How to break the hatred value locked by the boss

The next morning, I was awakened by Igerus - as to why, it is self-evident.I sat up with a black line on my forehead, glanced at the time, then pushed Igelus away mercilessly, got out of bed and started to get dressed.

"It's so early, what are you doing..." Yi Zhelusi asked lazily while lying on the bed, his slightly narrowed eyes were very dissatisfied.

"It's getting late, it's just time for breakfast, and I have to go to work after breakfast - I was absent from work yesterday, so I must not be like this today." I tidied up my appearance and quickly replied , didn't have the energy to give Yigelus any attention.

Although Igelus has returned, and I have already achieved my wish, but now I am a member of this institute after all, and I cannot give up immediately.After all, no matter how lazy I am, I still know what responsibilities and obligations are. Besides, my supervisor, Professor Zhang, cares about me and has high expectations. I really don't want to disappoint him.

Yesterday, because of the return of Igelus, I was a little carried away, so I didn't step into the laboratory for a day. If one day can be justified and understandable, then if I don't go today, even I can't forgive myself .

I leaned down and kissed the cheek of Igelus who looked like he was abandoned, and after I said goodbye to him—of course I didn’t get any response from Igelus who was in a fit of anger—I hurried to the door , I didn't expect to be startled by the person standing outside the door as soon as I opened the door.

It was an old man in a black suit and white shirt. Although his hair was gray, he was hale and hearty. He had stood outside the door for an unknown amount of time.

Seeing me, the old man raised his right hand to his chest, bowed slightly, and greeted, "Good morning, Mr. Xia Yin—or should I call you Mr. Xia Ziqi?"

"Please call me Xia Ziqi." I replied dryly, "Are you...?"

"France, the butler of Master Mollens, I'm waiting for your orders." The old man showed a very comfortable smile, "Do you want to have breakfast?"

"Yes... I'm going to the restaurant." Although I was still a little bit stunned, I somehow understood the situation, "As for Mollens, he is in the room... still lying on the bed."

"Young master is always like this. It's been difficult to get him up since he was a child." Frans smiled lovingly, "If you don't mind, I have prepared breakfast, both Chinese and Western, and I hope Mr. Xia Ziqi can taste it One or two."

Although Frans's attitude made me very uncomfortable growing up as a commoner, I still couldn't say no. I could only nod in embarrassment, thanked me, and then let Opened the position of the door.

Frans didn't enter the house, but the robot that had been parked beside him, pushing the moving dining table, drove into the house smoothly, and went straight to the bedroom.I watched the robot enter the bedroom, and then turned my gaze back to Frans. Seeing that he didn't seem to move, I couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you coming in?"

"Thank you for your kindness, it is enough for me to stay here." Frans smiled, "Since he woke up, Master Mollens doesn't like having too many people around him, so if possible, we will try our best Use robots."

It sounds like... Igerus really didn't hide his temper.I was a little worried that he would be noticed by this old man who seemed to be very close to the original Merens, so I couldn't help but probed: "So it's like this... Is there any problem with such a change? Do you know what caused it?" Is it?"

"The psychiatrist has explained it." Frans nodded, a little sad but with a bit of love, "This time I have experienced such a disaster, and I have been lying on the bed unconscious for so long. His body was greatly damaged, and he couldn't even get out of bed and walk after waking up. This must have made him very sad, but Master Mollens has always been a proud person, and he was never willing to show his weak side in the world. In front of other people, he will naturally reject the approach of other people. Although his condition has stabilized a lot now, the situation still doesn't seem to be improving, which is really worrying..."

I nodded knowingly, breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked the psychiatrist who rationalized everything.

Because I promised the old man to taste the morning he prepared, and Frans refused to enter the house, I exchanged pleasantries with him and planned to return to the bedroom, but when I put my hand on the doorknob, Frans refused to enter the house again. stop.

The old man bowed deeply to me again, and his voice was full of entrustment: "Master Mollens, I will leave it to you."

I froze for a moment, nodded, and felt a little helpless: "Actually, I can't do anything... He will always handle his own affairs, leaving me no room to intervene."

Frans smiled proudly, and then softened his tone: "However, you are one of the people he valued the most, although even I don't know when the young master met you, and there is something between you How to get along with him, but when Master Mollens woke up, all he missed was you, even regardless of his physical condition, he wanted to find you—as long as you were by his side, then it was enough for the young master."

"...I will." With a fever on my face, I nodded in response, somewhat unable to bear such a solemn atmosphere.

Frans smiled gratifiedly: "Did you and the young master meet on the Internet?"

"Yes, we met online." There was no adulteration in this answer.

"The young master has always liked to log on to the online community anonymously. Billions of people in the world will act on it, crossing national borders and meeting in the vast sea of ​​people. Fate is really a wonderful thing." Frans said with emotion.

I don't know how Igelus lied to his "family" and explained my existence, so I just agreed with a dry smile. What a loophole.

"I'm really sorry, you see, an old man like me is just a bit wordy and delayed your breakfast." Seeing that I just smiled but didn't want to say more, Frans suddenly realized that he laughed and apologized, "Master It's time to wait, I really shouldn't have dragged you to talk for so long, now, I wish you a pleasant meal."

I thanked Frans, finally closed the door, and then breathed a long sigh of relief—it really made me a little Alexander to face such a polite old gentleman.

Back in the bedroom, Ygelus was still lazily leaning on the bed, fiddling with the breakfast utensils with no appetite, raised his head when he saw me coming back, and raised his eyebrows: "Their movements are fast, I found it in less than a day."

"...Don't tell me you sneaked out." I rubbed my forehead.

"If it wasn't like this, I don't know when I will be able to leave the hands of those nagging guys." Igelus snorted softly and didn't care. Seeing that my interest was not high, he asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

"I just feel sorry for those people who care about Melans." I also had no appetite to stir the porridge in front of me, "They poured all their affection on you, but they don't know that the old Melans is no longer there. gone."

"He's long gone." Igelus's voice was a little cold, "Without the slightest wave of consciousness, he died completely. If it wasn't for me, this body would never be able to do anything other than breathing and heartbeat for the rest of its life. Things. I got the body I was satisfied with, and they also got the comfort of the recovery of their loved ones, and they just got what they needed."

"...Having said that, human emotions are complicated, and you may not understand them now." I shook my head lightly, "It's like I tried to rebuild you after you disappeared, but no matter what I will The dialogue, personality, and gestures are so similar, but that character is still not you. And the Igelus who replaced you in the game is also completely different from you—a person, the most important inner part.”

"Of course they're not me." Igelus snorted arrogantly, as if taking it for granted, apparently not understanding what I wanted to express.

"Or change the metaphor." I also felt that what I just said was inappropriate. After thinking for a while, I changed my mind and said, "If I become a vegetative state due to some unexpected reasons, and I wake up after a period of brain death, but the inside has changed. Another consciousness, another soul, will you take comfort in the awakening of that 'I'?"

This time, Igelus was silent. I think he finally learned what empathy is.

After a long time, Igelus turned over and got out of bed a little irritatedly, and lifted his coat: "Okay, you won, I understand what you mean. If there is such a day, I would rather let you die completely, than Would love to see another person walking up and down in front of me in your image."

Seeing Igelus put on his clothes, I sighed softly, and said something to comfort me: "There is no such thing as the best of both worlds. Some people benefit, and some people always lose. We are not saviors, and we don't have the ability to save everyone. So I can only protect myself selfishly. Merlens has nothing to do with me, so I don't care about him, I only care about you, but for people who care about Merlens and don't know you at all, this is tantamount to a disaster. I I hope you will be as careful as possible not to let anyone find out about this situation, and of course, make it up to them as much as possible. Even if I have been cheated all the time, if they can enjoy it, I can feel a little more at ease."

"Okay, I understand." Igelus walked to me, bent down and put his arms around my shoulders, and kissed my forehead, "There will be no problems, I promise."

"That's good." I smiled and nodded.

"...By the way, what did you just say?" After finishing the topic just now, Igelus felt a little wrong, "You just said that I was replaced in the game?"

"...Yes, don't you know?" I coughed lightly.

"Of course I don't know! The last time I went online, I used a player account. At that time, I was all looking for you, so I couldn't manage other things!" After finishing speaking, Igerus seemed to realize that these words exposed himself too much The once eager mood was not so imposing, and he was embarrassed for a moment, "...What's going on?"

"The body you used in the game has been in a sleep state without conscious control. I waited for a long time, but I couldn't find the reason. At that time, there was no other way, so I notified the game company with the heart of trying, hoping they can Repair you, revive you." My eyes drifted slightly for a moment, "Then, of course, the game company repaired you, and the restoration... was perfect."

Igerus: "..."

So, after having usurped someone else's identity, his identity was also usurped.
