J City Skynet Base

Zhang Huilan walked in the corridor of the base deep underground, she walked slowly, and slowly looked at the corridors around her, which had almost been repaired. It already has the appearance of the beginning, those walls have basically recovered as before, but more rooms are more damaged, and those rooms have been repaired by intelligent robots, but the number of those robots is too small, and the repair progress is not fast.

Zhang Huilan looked at her side with contempt, and the repair of those robots made her feel even more slow.

Lord Jupiter had countless slaves under his command, and those slaves would be replaced in turn, mending any possible wounds day in and day out.

As a result, Jupiter's Palace has remained as splendid and clean as ever.

For her, her hometown is her everything, and her task is to ensure that her master can return to Chongxu.

She had wondered why the lord had ordered the hunt from the beginning to the time she had been ordered to protect the master.

She had heard rumors that those forsaken who had been on Earth had no way of knowing about Zhang Chulan at all.

So are they really as rumored to be, with people who can freely travel through electronic channels to deliver messages to the two planets?

There are also rumors that it is because the leaders of the earth have long known about the existence of Chongxu, and they are more willing to exchange some patterns that have little impact on them for the benefits they want.

All the rumors in between, whether true or false, are all surrounding their master.

Her memory since she was a child is that her master was strict with her, and in the face of her master, in addition to fear, she is more in the face of motherly reverence.

Zhang Chulan spent very little time with her.

But she still remembers the first meeting vividly.

That was when she was chosen at the age of five, when she was just entering the Reaper.

Like all children, she was timid and excited, curious and scared of everything around her.

The children who were about to become her new companions, like her, did not cry out of fear.

Even so, when Master first walked in, there was a commotion in the crowd as her piercing gaze swept by.

At first, some children cried quietly, and some ran directly out.

All she saw was the children being taken away by the adults and never reappeared.

Although she was afraid, she was still attracted by the temperament of the master.

That's a kind of temperament that no one can approach.

She was not frightened by the dangerous temperament in her body at that time, her fear had been pierced by the temperament of the master, like a balloon being pierced by a thin needle, the difference was that the balloon did not burst, but slowly disappeared as if it were deflated.

Until Master noticed her.

Master walked past the other children and walked towards her.

"What's your name?" Zhang Chulan leaned down. "Oh, by the way, I don't have a title yet, right?"

She nodded.

"That's... My name is Zhang Chulan. When Master said her name, she clearly saw that the corners of Master's mouth were slightly raised, and it was a kind of happiness.

She looked at Master curiously, she was reminiscing, and besides, memories should be that kind of sweet and beautiful thing.

This made her envious.

"Let's call you Zhang Huilan." Master touched her head, and his voice was surprisingly gentle. "With the same surname as me, smart and as pure as an orchid."

"Zhang... Intelligent... Orchid. She whispered silently to herself.

"Miscellaneously with me." Master stood up, "From now on, I will be your master." ”

She watched as Master turned to leave.

Some of the children around him watched the master leave with frightened eyes, some looked at him, their thumbs were still stuffed in their mouths, but their eyes revealed envy, and some did not dare to look at the master.

More children soon forgot about it.

They all found their masters in the reapers that followed.

Except for the children who were taken away at the beginning, all the children after that had their own masters.

And the reapers, when they came in, forgot about her.

No, not to forget, to be precise, but to stay away.

Even the guards who brought them in were urging them, but they were much quieter to her.

At this point, she soon realized that in addition to luck, she needed to use her own strength to give back.

After that, she tried to do this even harder, although the master observed her very few times each time.

She could count the few by herself, but when those masters came to inspect her study, she regarded it as a festival.

A festival of her own.

Until she completed the Reaper's first mission.

"You've finally become a good reaper." Zhang Chulan said to her after the task was completed. "Here, I have a word of advice for you."

Zhang Huilan looked at the master intently, and the master also looked at her. His eyes were no longer as murderous and solemn as before.

She didn't know how to put into account what Master's eyes were trying to say.

She knew very well that Master's eyes had long since lost the seriousness and indifference she had seen in the past, but this time, they had other feelings.

It's just that she can't say it.

"In the days to come, you and I may not see each other again, perhaps, not many times, and all orders depend on the lord. Lord Jupiter was not stingy with his subordinates. I naturally believe that you have that absolute strength, and it is all on your own. Zhang Chulan paused, her eyes turned away from her, and she looked into the distance.

She was full of doubts, all these things she wanted to hear were things that she already knew, why Master would mention this again.

Every Reaper will rarely cooperate with his or her master on a mission, unless it is particularly impossible or difficult, and will only cooperate with the master and apprentice at the behest of the lord.

Such opportunities are rare, and she naturally knows that Master is even more so.

Every reaper is alone.

However, Zhang Huilan clearly realized that the advice that the master wanted to say was not a cliché.

She waited quietly, following Master's gaze into the distance.

They were standing somewhere in Jupiter's Palace, and here, she knew very well, was still a long way from Jupiter's main palace, and this was not a place where she frequented, but the Master suddenly took her after she had completed her first task, and she knew nothing about this place.

"Zhang Huilan, you have to remember that no matter what task you want in the future, you must have doubts and stick to the bottom line that you should stick to." Zhang Chulan turned her head and said slowly to her.

This made her frown slightly, this advice from the master was completely contrary to the meaning of the lord, and even more so to what she had learned.

Unconditionally obey the will of your lord.

This is the most important one before and after she became a reaper.

And this one, after meeting the Master, is a piece of advice.

At the time, she didn't understand and didn't ask questions.

At this point, she understood.

Just as she was leaving Chongxu for Earth, in this Skynet base, she realized what Master had said.

Before that, she was skeptical, and even almost believed the rumors.

Fortunately, she did not forget the only piece of advice given to her by her master, Zhang Chulan.

In the future, and even in the future, she has her own judgment in everything she does.

This is the bottom line she adheres to.
