The day after the end of the championship, I went back to my usual school days. In the classroom, Xiao Ye's desks and chairs were empty, and he didn't come to class today as usual. Guo Minghao and I were puzzled.

Today is an unusual day for Xiao Ye-

[Xiao Ye's house at 7 o'clock in the morning]

In the past two days, the sword shark has temporarily stayed at Xiao Ye's house.

"Ahh

Xiao Ye ran to the living room and was frightened by the scene in front of him - the sword shark's eyes were glowing red, his whole body was convulsed, rolling on the ground, and he couldn't stop moaning.

"Sword Shark!" Xiao Ye hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but as soon as he touched the sword shark's body, he reflexively retracted his hand. The surface of the sword shark's body seemed to be leaking current as if it had been seriously short-circuited, and Xiao Ye retracted it when it was electrified.

"Sword shark! Cheer up! Xiao Ye thought about it: the previous few times were intermittent momentary attacks, and it was the first time that such a long-lasting and violent reaction had occurred. Could it be that his master Ye Zihan suffered...

The sword shark was still struggling in pain, looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Ye couldn't help himself, he couldn't even touch the sword shark and felt guilty of himself, he stood in place in a trance.

I don't know how long it took, but the sword shark didn't move and didn't make a sound.

Xiao Ye came back to his senses, and his first reaction was to step forward and tentatively touch the body surface of the sword shark.

"Great!" Xiao Ye was not shocked, and the sword shark's body was still warm, proving that he was still functioning normally, but he had fainted temporarily. Xiao Ye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master!" With a loud roar, the sword shark suddenly opened its eyes.

Xiao Ye was taken aback, and then said, "It's really fortunate that I woke up so soon." ”

"Master, dead."

Xiao Ye was dumbfounded, unable to believe what he had just heard.

"What did you say? I, I didn't hear clearly. ”

"It's dead, it's all over." At this time, if the expression of the sword shark is compared to a human being, it is probably a bloodless face and falling to the bottom.

"How so... It's impossible..."Xiao Ye was too surprised, and his tongue was a little knotted.

"Lord... The voice of the sword shark seemed to be choked, and Xiao Ye even saw a liquid similar to tears slipping from the corners of his eyes, but it was not transparent, but black brown.

"Tears? Will robots shed tears too..."Xiao Ye was deeply touched, and suddenly felt that his heart was also uncomfortable, his nose was sore, his eyes were hot, and tears flowed out.

"Woo woo-" Xiao Ye hugged the sword shark, and one person and one machine cried together for a long time.

It took a long time for them to recover and regain their composure.

"Sword Shark, what the hell is going on?"

"You know that the Master will suffer a great deal of physical suffering if he breaks the contract with the Wisdom Machine, and the reverse is true. The creation of the wisdom machine will also suffer great pain if it breaks the contract with the master on its own. ”

"However, you didn't terminate the contract with Ye Zihan."

"If the owner dies, it is deemed that the contract is automatically terminated."

"It's... So how do you know that your master has... Gone? ”

"Although I don't know why I've been isolated from my master's induction before, there is only one thing I can definitely sense when it happens, and that is the change of Hongjing."

"You mean, just now you felt that your Hongjing had a different change?"

"Yes, the structure of Hongjing who has signed a contract will change to a certain extent, and when I woke up just now, I really felt that Hongjing's structure returned to the state before the contract."

"So you surmised that Ye Zihan had been..."

The sword shark clenched its fists and slammed the floor in anger.

"That black-brown liquid is..."

"The lube in my body. It is only when the body is not functioning normally that it is possible to leak out. ”

"Well, the situation just now is indeed extremely abnormal." Although Xiao Ye said this, he thought: Even if it was really tears, I wouldn't feel strange. At this time, even robots have feelings.

"Who is so cruel to do such a thing as murder!"

"I must, I want to avenge my master!"

"Leave this matter to the police, it's hard to do anything on your own."

"But I'm not reconciled! The master just didn't know what to say..."The sword shark thumped the floor again.

"Okay, calm down, it's time for the downstairs residents to come up and complain."

"Xiao Ye." The sword shark suddenly looked at Xiao Ye with a solemn and serious face.

"What's wrong?"

"Be my new master."

"Huh? This..."Faced with this sudden request, Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, "But... Take? I mean procedurally. ”

"No problem, after terminating the contract with the previous master, you can conclude a contract with the new master, called the [second contract], which is completely compliant in terms of procedure."

"But why me? Just because..."

"Yes, I want to thank you because you are my benefactor. Secondly, I don't want to be a wandering unowned creative machine. ”

"I'm just doing it with my hands, and I'm going to do it like everyone else."

"Don't be overly humble, I can see that you have always wanted a smart machine, so that you can no longer feel inferior in front of your two friends."

"I..." Xiao Ye hesitated.

"Isn't it great? The trio competed side by side in the league. ”

"Does it really matter? What I care about is what you think. Xiao Ye's eyes showed a rare tenderness, "Don't force yourself to repay me." ”

"It's not reluctant, it's my own intention, and I'm sure you'll be a good master. Moreover, I will never give up on the master's case, and I don't guarantee that I will not do anything excessive. The sword shark rolled his eyes and said.

"Uh, is this coercing me?"

"I need someone to take care of me, stop me, stop me from doing stupid things."

"You." Xiao Ye walked to the balcony and looked at the sky, taking a deep breath, "I really can't help you, okay." ”

"You promised!" The sword shark became excited, "Then let's hurry up and conclude the second contract!" ”

"Alas, it's been so long." Xiao Ye returned indoors and said to himself, "Let's go to school in the afternoon." ”
