Laid-off guide is a cat wife

That night, they were invited to have dinner at the Duke's mansion.

The aircraft stopped in front of a man-made lake, passed through the exquisite stone path, and passed a large blooming blue flower bush. The simulated fireflies flying in the wind flickered dreamily, acting as lighting and guiding the way for the guests. At the end of the line of sight, a The light blue castle stands quietly on the water's edge.

It is really intriguing to think about the status of the Duke who can acquire such a large piece of land in the hanging garden city with every inch of land and gold, and create a dreamlike and peaceful pastoral beauty.

"Ahh~"

Miao Xun rubbed his nose and glanced at the seemingly endless blue flower fields.Pollen kept drilling into his nose, making it uncomfortable.

Xue Fang shook out his handkerchief and helped to cover Miao Xun's mouth and nose, making him feel comfortable.

The robot steward who led the way explained: "That is the flower planted by the Duchess herself. The precious blue butterfly flower is the treasure of the Duke."

This AI is weird and they don't know how to appreciate it.

Xue Fang also introduced to him: "This is a sentinel I raised with my own hands, a precious beast, and it is my treasure."

The AI ​​steward scanned Miao Xun again with the probe: "According to the black market transaction prices over the years, the price of the youth sentry is between 20 and 500 million interstellar coins, which is far from being 'precious'. Your statement is not true, or maybe you bought it when you bought it. Got price cheated."

Xue Fang muttered: "This is why I voted against giving power to AI service robots..."

AI Butler: "You shouldn't object—hey, the system is restarting, the system is restarting...restart failed! Enter the automatic repair mode."

Miao Xun pinched a screw that was still warm just after it was removed, "Hmph, make it shut up."

Xue Fang smiled helplessly, the little cat couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

On the steps of the small castle, the adjutant was still in a straight military uniform, and frowned when he saw the AI ​​butler repeatedly circling around trying to contact the product company to report for repairs for him.

Miao Xun casually threw the screw to him, and smiled slyly, not without provocation.

"The Duchess is inside, don't be presumptuous." The adjutant ordered coldly.

Xue Fang raised his eyebrows a little, and felt that this lady who was carefully pampered was unusual.Before they entered the banquet hall, Madam greeted them warmly with her skirts.

To be precise, it was a young girl.

Her appearance is not outstanding, and her round face is a bit delicate. In today's highly developed interstellar plastic surgery technology, almost no noble woman will retain such a simple and unadorned appearance.

——Let Xue Fang immediately think of the portraits of medieval oil paintings in the interstellar chronicle books.

"It's Will's new guest, come in quickly, I don't know if today's meal suits your taste."

She led Miao Xun and Xue Fang to sit down one by one, with a glow on their faces, "I made guinea fowl stewed with chestnuts, Avi grass salad, and beef hot fruit corn soup, all of which were just picked today, very fresh .By the way, I'll call Will down for dinner."

When the food was served, Miao Xun and Xue Fang looked at each other silently at the same time, seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

By binding the link, Xue Fang whispered in the spiritual domain: "I run slowly, I will take a bite later. If I am poisoned, you can carry me and run quickly."

Miao Xun hummed, "My metabolic rate is much stronger than yours, so if I want to eat, I will eat first."

"Little fool! The faster the metabolism, the faster the poison."

"Then what do you say?"

Just as Xue Fang was about to answer, the rolling sound of the wheels of the wheelchair came from the depths of the castle.

Duke Will came out, saw the silence of the two of them, and smiled kindly: "Okay, don't discuss it in your head, Elena is still waiting for you to comment on her meal."

Miao Xun blurted out: "How do you know—"

The Duke moved to the main seat, with a peaceful expression, "Young lovers like you, there is no one who doesn't whisper."

Elena covered her mouth and smiled: "When Will and I secretly bonded without telling the family, he would go outside the wall of my house to chat with my brain every day."

The first course, guinea fowl stewed with chestnuts, has been served, with an attractive aroma and strong color.Xue Fang cut to the chase and asked: "As far as I know, the plants of Mali, Avigrass, and Burdock Fruit have been extinct in the interstellar world for more than 60 years. I wonder if these... are similar substitutes?"

He has tried his best to give the opponent a step down.

If what the Duchess said is true, then all the rare and extinct plants she uses for cooking are on the list of biological heritage protection.

As long as you can get a little bit of dry seeds, you can be robbed by major research institutes and companies.Fresh plants for cooking?Arabian Nights!

"No." The Duchess seemed a little confused about the situation, and said with a smile, "There are many in our garden. If you come tomorrow, I can show you."

"Well...it's delicious! It's just a bit bland."

Xue Fang turned his head suddenly, and watched as Miao Xun dug a big mouthful of chestnut paste and stuffed it into his mouth, showing a satisfied expression.

Not poisonous.Miao Xun quietly made a safe gesture.

But Xue Fang didn't dare to relax. In his opinion, the Duke, Duchess and this small castle isolated from the world are full of weirdness.

If the order of the tableware and the old model of the elevator can also be explained as retro hobbies, then Mrs. Irena's slightly ancient pronunciation and wording can't be easily explained clearly.

Until she mentioned something to the Duke, which also caught Miao Xun's attention.

"Will, can we take my friend Cuomo with us when we go on vacation to the White Bird Star next week?"

"You can do whatever you want," said the Duke with a smile.

But Xue Fang felt that his eyes were dead silent.

White Bird Star, as early as one afternoon 163 years ago, was destroyed by the powerful onslaught of the emperor's backbone fleet.Three thousand anti-matter missiles hit the beautiful planet famous for its shores and white cranes. The excessive firepower caused space distortion, and the planet fragments and dead birds were sucked into the black hole. Until now, that sector is still dangerous no-fly zone.

The White Bird Star was also an important foothold on the shortest jump path from the Federation to the Empire.

It is said that Emperor Duncan Ayre destroyed this convenient jumping point out of military strategic needs in order to prevent the federal army from attacking the border.

So far, Xue Fang has already had some guesses.

"I forgot to turn off the warm light in the conservatory, Will, as I go."

Madame Irene left happily.

Miao Xun was drinking that bowl of strange and delicious beef hot fruit corn soup.

Xue Fang and Duke Will's eyes collided, and the two powerful thoughts collided invisibly, but neither of them spoke on the surface.

Ten minutes later, the serious-looking adjutant came in holding Mrs. Irene's weak body, and bowed slightly, "Duke, today's recovery task has been completed."

"Put her back."

"Yes."

Xue Fang watched him walk into the depths of the castle, hugging the young lady like a doll with a dead battery.

"Your wife...is a complete prosthetic body, isn't she?"

The Duke poured himself wine, and the dim warm light came over him, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.He smiled and toasted Xue Fang: "You are very smart, I like smart people."

"Complete prosthetic body" is actually a relatively euphemistic term. To be precise, this "Irona" has no human tissue on her body, and is a "dummy" made entirely of chips, circuits and highly simulated skin .

Miao Xun calmly sat closer to Xue Fang, protecting the guide was his instinct.

Xue put his hand on the table and squeezed his hand, turned his head and whispered to the Duke: "I'm sorry to have to know Mrs. Helena in this way."

What supports the words and deeds of "Helena" now is undoubtedly only a "little green card" engraved with the consciousness of the girl back then.The real her has long since disappeared.

The candlelight was flickering, and a trace of pain flashed across the Duke's old and wrinkled face, but it was fleeting. "Since she invited you, please come and accompany her tomorrow."

He didn't seem to want to say more, and when the adjutant came back, he sent them away.

The adjutant obeyed the order and sent them to the hotel they had booked.Along the way, the young and handsome adjutant was absent-minded until Xue Fang asked:

"Sorry, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Me?" The adjutant was surprised by this question, "I don't have a name, I am an adjutant, Madam's adjutant."

Isn't it the Duke's men?

When we arrived at the hotel, Miao Xun whispered in the guide's ear, "I heard the sound of micro-currents in the back of his neck. He is also a concrete body."

Xue Fang pondered for a moment, "Neither he nor Helena had obvious stamps on the back of their hands. Not distinguishing them from humans may cause serious ethical problems, which is a felony in the Federation."

"He seems to be in pain."

"How did you get it?"

Miao Xun closed the door, walked to the reclining chair, crossed his legs and sat on the guide's lap, leaned down close to him, and started the daily exchange of pheromones.

"His simulated heart was twitching, and the beating was not smooth. If the accessories are not replaced, it will be scrapped."

…………

In the depths of the castle room, the gold-painted door squeaked. The adjutant quietly took off his boots at the door, and walked into the Duke's bedroom with only white socks.

With his head down and his back still straight, he knelt skillfully on a small black woolen blanket by the head of the bed.This position is convenient for the Duke sitting on the bed to reach out and touch him.

"Expose." The Duke ordered wearily.

The adjutant bent down deeply, unbuttoned the straight shirt, pulled the collar off his shoulders, and brought the bare back of the neck to the Duke's hand.

The Duke groped along his spine as usual, and found a joint. He opened the hidden gap with his fingernails, and lifted off the artificial skin that was as big as a fingernail.

The old fingers were stuffed into his neck, "Did you push the 'green card' deeper?"

The adjutant's shoulders shook, and he lowered his body even harder.

"You don't want to show me?" The Duke pulled out the "little green card" embedded in the central nervous system from the white sponge.

"No subordinate." The adjutant was trembling with pain, but he picked up the handkerchief he had prepared and wiped off the engine oil and sponge flakes on the Duke's fingers.

The Duke lay back on the bed, seemingly casually, but actually stared at his reaction, "What did Helena tell you today?"

"... Madam said that she wants to go out and have a look."

"She confessed to you?"

The adjutant's breathing stopped abruptly, and the mild steel heart of the artificial prosthetic body was like a mechanical watch lacking parts, the hands were chaotically collided and tightened.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the Duke turned over, stroked the gray hair on the back of his neck, opened the card slot and put the adjutant's small green card into the spare reading slot, "Forget it, I'll take a look myself."

The Duke took it for granted, read his memories of the whole day today in front of the adjutant, in every detail.

Adjutants are not eligible to refuse.

After all, a prosthetic person with a green card of consciousness is not considered a "person" in law.At best, it is just a "body video recorder" used by the Duke to record his life. At night, he has to pull out the magnetic card to see what interesting things were recorded during the day, and then fall asleep with this young perspective.

As a recreational activity, there is no essential difference from the VR first-person perspective movies that were popular three centuries ago.

The Duke is not the first to do so, and he won't be the last.

The adjutant looked at the Duke's face that was gradually falling asleep, and held his mechanical heart tightly.

He is rusting.

…………

When it comes to the benefits of nesting with a guide with a compatibility of more than 96% in winter, Miao Xun can't count them all.

Eating spicy hot pot, drinking ice-cold beverages, burping with satisfaction, and stuffing two ice creams.When you go out, fill the guide's briefcase with almond peanut candy, and the guide will eat candy until he has a toothache when chatting with others.I fell asleep listening to music with my earphones plugged in, and I was not afraid of going to the hospital with a damaged eardrum. No matter where I woke up, I would always wear a warm cashmere coat from the guide.

It feels good to have someone in charge!

It's just a little hairy...

"Did you pluck my ear hair while I was asleep again?" The little wild cat got up and asked, the coat slipped from his shoulders to his waist.

Xue Xinxin glanced around: "Scraping ear hair or something... this kind of thing... definitely... I shouldn't..."

"Then what is this?" Miao Xun grabbed the guide's hand, and there was a shiny cat hair embedded in the little thumbnail.

The evidence is conclusive and undeniable!

"...I just can't control myself, don't you know?" Being caught, Xue Fang wanted to cry but had no tears.People who live to this age, only have this little hobby, can't they be tolerant?

"I know, I know." Miao Xun stood up on the high-wind terrace on the 289th floor of the hotel, stretched out against the sun, and pulled up his hoodie, revealing a seductive and tight belly.

He caught the guide's sneak peek at his stomach, stretched his waist, stepped on the bench on the terrace, grabbed the man's hand, stuffed it under his stomach without any scruples, and asked generously: "Is this enough?" ? Touch the young body, and the older guide can vigorously start a new day's work."

"...No, if you do this, it will only make me want to resign and stay at home and don't want to go to work."

Miao Xun poked Xue Fang's forehead with his finger, "You are an elite guide, show your reserve, there are too many young and beautiful sentinels outside, don't always be tempted by beauty."

Xue Fang lifted the glasses frame: "Not all the young and beautiful sentinels outside can sleep soundly in public, and they don't even know that I bit their ears."

Miao Xun: "..."

It is too lax.

"The adjutant is here." Miao Xun saw the flying machine coming to pick them up, and pulled the guide's hand away from the hot cat's belly.

Xue Fang: Happiness has left me again.
