You You suddenly transformed into an afterimage, instantly appearing behind the Nightingale mecha.
A gust of fresh wind followed You You, gently brushing past the Nightingale mecha.
You You stood up straight, turned around, and looked at Nightingale.
"You've already lost," Gu Ya said calmly.
Bai Ying said faintly, "Are you sure?"
Then she controlled the mecha to turn around and face You You.
Gu Ya shook his head, chuckled, and said, "Once I issue the command, the Nightingale mecha will turn into a pile of scrap metal."
"Bai Ying, I'm very grateful that you could bring Ye Ying to me. Now, please go back."
Bai Ying was unmoved and calmly said, "One."
Gu Ya suddenly laughed. What was she saying? The command was given by me! It only listens to me!
"Bai Ying, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Gu Ya said, shaking his head and laughing. This little girl is so innocently cute!
If there's a chance, I'll definitely ask Ye Ying to summon her again so they can get along, and cure her of her detached personality.
But for now, Gu Ya just wanted to see Ye Ying.
"Bai Ying, remember to tell Ye Ying before you fall asleep..."
Before Gu Ya could finish speaking,
The display screen in front of him suddenly flickered with many horizontal bands of static!
Gu Ya's eyes widened in shock, staring in disbelief.
Soon, the horizontal static bands increased, and then, You You's system actually crashed!
The engine also immediately stalled!
The entire mecha seemed to have lost its soul, its knees bent, and slowly knelt down!
Gu Ya was completely stunned!
"Ah!?" Gu Ya's hands quickly tapped the holographic panel, trying to reawaken You You.
His operations became faster and faster, but to no avail!
Gu Ya gritted his teeth and mentally chanted, "Code Tampering!"
You You's code instantly appeared on the light screen in front of Gu Ya.
Gu Ya gazed at it and was utterly despairing.
You You's code was a complete mess. It wasn't just a few loopholes; all of it was riddled with logical errors, a chaotic jumble of code.
It was like a three-year-old child had urinated on a painting by Qi Baishi!
"Do you still want to fight?" Bai Ying said calmly through the mecha's public address system.
Fight? Fight what! Gu Ya thought blankly. This is my strongest ultimate skill, a skill that kills a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred!
What happened, and why?
I did it perfectly!
"It seems you're not fighting anymore. I'll be going back. Remember to bring me some dinner," Bai Ying said faintly, controlling the Nightingale mecha to fly into the sky.
The screen in front of Gu Ya was frozen with static snow, and silence enveloped the surroundings.
His mind was a mess, just like the code in front of him.
Gu Ya forced himself to calm down and began to sort through every word Bai Ying had said, from the first sentence to the last.
The more he thought about it, the more it felt wrong, and the greater the doubt in his heart grew.
Could this Bai Ying not be lying?
No, I have to ask for clarification!
Gu Ya recalled You You, planning to repair it later.
He purchased another ordinary mecha and flew towards Xianxia City.
Two hours later, as night fell, Gu Ya returned to the guest room with two dinners.
Bai Ying was standing by the window, quietly watching the night view of Xianxia.
The bizarre, colorful lights reflected on her fair, calm face. Honestly, Gu Ya was still very smitten.
"So slow, I'm already hungry." Bai Ying calmly turned around, walked to the dining table, picked up chopsticks, and began to eat, completely disregarding Gu Ya.
Gu Ya watched her quietly, picked up a piece of meat, put it into his small mouth, closed his lips, and chewed gently.
"Who exactly are you?" Gu Ya asked softly.
Bai Ying slowly swallowed the food and said, "No comment."
Gu Ya felt he was too rash. The other party could instantly decipher his ultimate mecha skill, indicating that their strength was extremely, extremely formidable.
As of now, no one could instantly break his ultimate move.
Gu Ya reorganized his language and tone and asked in a very respectful tone, "Are you a god?"
Bai Ying glanced at Gu Ya sideways and said calmly, "Mundane terms cannot describe me... us."
Gu Ya was surprised.
If the other party wasn't human, then things became very interesting, and the possibilities multiplied exponentially.
Elves, monsters, deities, or even extraterrestrial beings.
How could this be? From the perspective of this world, there were no scientific records of deities or metaphysics yet.
Even if there were, they would only exist in myths.
Then what exactly was it?
A chill ran through Gu Ya. This Bai Ying hadn't done anything unfavorable to Ye Ying yet, which was good news.
But since the other party might not be human, transcending species, they wouldn't have reverence for humans themselves. They could then harm Ye Ying at will, without any guilt.
At worst, they could just find another suitable host!
No, no, my mind is getting more and more confused!
Gu Ya felt he had transcended his scope of understanding.
Bai Ying saw Gu Ya's dilemma, lowered her gaze, and thought for a moment, then said calmly, "If we really must assign an identity to explain ourselves, I think we are 'beings' in the physical sense, as humans call it."
"Huh?" Gu Ya completely broke down. What was she talking about? Physically existing beings?
Is this a joke? It seemed like it had entered Ye Ying's consciousness.
No, no, no...
Could it be that Ye Ying herself is a non-human entity!?
No, my mind is getting more and more confused!
Gu Ya stood up and walked in circles around the dining table, constantly pondering Bai Ying's words.
"If you are beings, then you also die, right?" Gu Ya asked softly.
Bai Ying nodded and said calmly, "Our lifespans can be extended, but if we cannot find a suitable human, we can only face death."
Gu Ya nodded, gaining a slight thread of understanding.
In other words, they must parasitize within humans to survive, and after a host dies, they must find another, or they will perish.
This put Gu Ya at ease.
As long as it hadn't found a new host, it wouldn't easily harm Ye Ying.
But there was still one question that needed confirmation.
Gu Ya calmly asked, "Are suitable hosts easy to find?"
Bai Ying seemed to understand Gu Ya's meaning, gently shook her head, and said, "I know what you're worried about. I can tell you clearly, I will not harm Ye Ying."
"In fact, after leaving a host, we wander alone for a long time. It could be a few years to several hundred years."
"I can also tell you that finding a host is not easy."
Bai Ying picked up a slice of meat, examined it carefully, and then put it into her mouth to chew slowly.
Watching her eat, Gu Ya's heart melted.
She's too beautiful, truly my future wife.
Bai Ying swallowed the piece of meat and said calmly, "We are not omnipotent. We can only rely on chance to find a host; we cannot pinpoint suitable individuals."
Gu Ya's heart finally relaxed. She wouldn't harm Ye Ying, which was great.
Moreover, her strength was immense; she could even protect Ye Ying!
Gu Ya smiled and sat down, staring at Bai Ying and saying, "Then what exactly are you? Are you ghosts of people who have died?"
Bai Ying blinked and said, "That is something completely without scientific basis."
Gu Ya suddenly realized something ominous, very, very ominous, something that could even distract him from Ye Ying!
If she were a being...
Gu Ya immediately asked, "Then how do you reproduce?"
Bai Ying glanced at Gu Ya as if she found him annoying, but her expression remained calm. She said, "You're worrying about groundless matters."
"Don't worry, I won't let you and Ye Ying be separated."
"Furthermore, we have no ability or desire to reproduce."
"To be precise, we don't even know where we come from."
"In my memory, the moment I opened my eyes, I was searching for a new host."
"I've also seen many of my kind being born. They naturally appear anywhere. It might be a withered branch, a data cable, or simply out of thin air."
"In human terms, they are born from absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth."
Gu Ya was completely reassured.
This entity before him would neither harm Ye Ying nor separate him from Ye Ying.
It was simply some unknown "being" that lodged itself in a human's consciousness.
Bai Ying continued, "When Ye Ying was born, I happened to be passing by. She is a very suitable host."
This piqued Gu Ya's interest even further, and countless thoughts suddenly sprang into his mind.
The most important among them was that Bai Ying had said "it" was on Gu Ya.
Gu Ya asked, "The 'it' you mentioned, is that my system? Can you see it? Do you know how it came to be? Why did it choose me? Also, I'll tell you a secret: I wasn't originally from this world. I'm a transmigrator!"
Bai Ying wasn't surprised by Gu Ya's words. Instead, she calmly chewed her food. After she swallowed, she said, "I don't know how it came to be, but I can sense it."
"Three hundred years ago, a young man of the same age as you, with the same abilities, had an encounter with my host. That young man was also a transmigrator."
Gu Ya became interested. Wow, so there were people like him hundreds of years ago!
"What happened next!?" Gu Ya asked excitedly.
Bai Ying said calmly, "He died."
Nonsense, how could humans live for so long!
"To be precise, he died saving the world."
"A comet descended, and he used all his methods, ultimately sacrificing his life to save the world and humanity."
"After that, the world evolved into its current state."
Gu Ya murmured, "Comet? Could it be the comet carrying matter similar to our kind?"
"If a comet descended and its volume exceeded that of ordinary meteorites, it would indeed cause human extinction."
"So he used his system abilities to destroy the comet and save the world."
"Isn't this just another typical feel-good sci-fi novel?"
Bai Ying said, "Are you possessed?"
Gu Ya nodded. He was indeed possessed. Ever since he learned that Bai Ying was not an ordinary being, he had been shivering.
Now, as the puzzle pieces gradually fell into place,
There were only four questions left to ask.
Gu Ya looked at Bai Ying and began to ask.
