The farmer has a mall

Chapter 320 Time and Space Predator

888, who was thrown far away, shakes the dust off his body aggrievedly.

Pouting his buttocks, he crawled in through the window again.

Seeing Gu Nanyan's anti-thief eyes, it whimpered and was about to go back to the system mall when it suddenly smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar aura.

The tip of its nose moved, and its eyes fell on the test tube in Gu Nanyan's hand.

"What is this?" it asked puzzled.

Speaking of it, it walked over involuntarily, sniffed at the tip of its nose again, and swallowed with a thud.

Gu Nanyan: "..."

This thing still eats people?
She hurriedly took the test tube a little further away, but saw 888's eyes moving along with it without blinking, and a suspicious trace of water dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Nanyan's face darkened, and seeing it looking like it was about to pounce, she picked up the teacup and poured it over.

The water in the cup had already cooled down completely, and 888 was so heartbroken that he regained consciousness in an instant.

Seeing that Gu Demon was squinting at himself, the hand holding the teacup was about to move, as if it would be thrown over at any moment.

888 screamed, "It's not what you think!"

It wanted to back away from the woman, but the tip of its nose smelled the familiar smell again, its feet remained motionless, and it got closer again.

888:"……"

Please listen to my sophistry!
Gu Nanyan sneered, clenching her back molars.

"You'd better tell me clearly why you drool on human blood."

The system mall is an inexplicable existence. She only regards it as the scientific research achievement of later generations, and never thinks about it in crooked ways.

But 888's actions today made her vigilant.

When she was bored in her previous life, she had read various novels, many of which were monsters that improved their cultivation by eating human flesh and drinking human blood.

Since she can encounter things like time travel, it is not uncommon to encounter one or two monsters.

Gu Nanyan squinted her eyes, put down the teacup in her hand, and raised the teapot to smash it.

888 screamed again, and quickly retreated to the corner.

"It's said that you misunderstood, listen to my explanation!"

"Then you said it!" Gu Nanyan roared.

888 swallowed, staring vigilantly at the teapot in her hand.

"Whose blood is in your hand?" it asked.

Gu Nanyan squinted her eyes and said coolly: "Why, just drinking blood is not enough, you have to find people and eat them?"

888 was speechless: "I'm an intelligent growth robot, not a monster, what do I eat people for?"

Gu Nanyan didn't believe it, and said solemnly: "I became like that just now, not because of the blood, but because of the energy fluctuations in it."

Seeing that Gu Nanyan didn't speak, it continued: "You also know that I need to spend money to upgrade at the headquarters for my growth. It is said to be an upgrade, but it is actually absorbing more energy so that I can grow myself and generate more wisdom. .”

"But upgrading is not the only way to grow. We can also gain energy by devouring our own kind."

After all, it looked at the test tube in Gu Nanyan's hand.

"Just now I couldn't help approaching it because I felt a small amount of energy fluctuations inside."

Gu Nanyan frowned upon hearing this: "You mean the owner of this blood tube is also a Nashi Laozi robot just like you?"

"Of course not." 888 shook his head.

"We don't have blood. It's human blood. It's just that he must have been in contact with my kind recently, and that's why he got its breath."

Gu Nanyan pursed her lips in silence for a moment: "Are there many of your kind in this world?"

888 shook his head again: "It stands to reason that only one intelligent machine creature can exist in the same time and space, and they are all appointed by the company, and I have never heard of any colleagues here."

Its expression gradually became serious: "So this thing is probably a space-time predator!"

No matter what era, lawbreakers always follow the interests.

888 appeared here because he wanted to obtain rare metals such as gold and silver that had been collected in his time and space, and the predator was certainly no exception.

Gu Nanyan frowned upon hearing this, thinking of a possibility.

"This tube of blood belongs to Li Mi. He fell into a coma for no reason more than a month ago. Even Dou Bi couldn't find out the reason."

As she spoke, she put the tube of blood into the instrument for a blood test, and when the results came out, nothing was found.

She looked at 888 faintly: "Remember that you were able to read my thoughts and spy on my memory at the beginning, does that mean that you can also manipulate my brain?"

888 was silent for a while, then slowly nodded: "Technically, it is possible..."

Seeing that Gu Nanyan's expression became ferocious, as if he was about to run away, he was so scared that his hairs exploded, so he hurriedly explained.

"But the company doesn't allow us to do this, it has already blocked this function, and if employees are found to be manipulating human consciousness, they will be recycled and destroyed!"

It shrank its neck and said weakly: "Otherwise I wouldn't be bullied so badly by you..."

"Then what happened to that predator!" Gu Nanyan gritted his teeth.

"It's the product of small illegal workshops. It's different from us. What's more, the things they make are cheap, and the energy contained in them can't control human beings. At most, they can block people's consciousness and make people unconscious..."

Speaking of this, 888 paused, staring at the tube of blood with wide eyes.

Gu Nanyan also thought of it, her eyes sank and her face turned cold.

……

……

Early the next morning, Gu Nanyan walked out of the room with dark circles under her eyes, her small face was tense, and her expression was extremely serious.

After handing a letter to Long Yi who came to get the results, Gu Nanyan stood in the cold wind for a while, then walked towards the front yard.

In the front hall, Gu Yao was drinking tea and chatting with Emperor Anyang, and frowned when he saw his granddaughter who didn't sleep well.

"Why is your face so ugly, but are you not used to sleeping in that yard?"

Gu Nanyan shook her head, picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

"I'm going to go to the palace." She said directly.

She analyzed with 888 last night that this kind of predator generally only lives on people, tempting and coaxing them to make money for it, and rarely blocks the consciousness of the sojourner.

So 888 infers that the predator is definitely not living on Li Mi, but judging from the considerable energy fluctuations on his body, the other party must be someone he can often contact with.

The other party's intentions are unclear, and at such a sensitive moment, Gu Nanyan is afraid that even bigger troubles will arise if it is delayed for a long time.

So he decided to find out the location of the predator first, and then find a way to catch it and feed it to 888.

888, who is extremely keen on upgrading, is naturally quite willing to cooperate.

Emperor Anyang, who had already released himself, was cocking his legs, nibbling on melon seeds regardless of his image, and when he heard her say that he was going to enter the palace, he disapproved and said, "The palace is so chaotic, what are you going to do?"

Gu Yao also disagreed: "The palace banquet will be in a few days. If you want to enter the palace, you can wait a little longer. How about you go with your grandfather and your father then?"

Gu Nanyan lowered her eyes and did not answer them immediately. After thinking for a moment, she slowly said: "When I entered the city yesterday, I asked Li Yi to bring a tube of Li Mi's blood from the palace, and it was sent to me last night."

Gu Yao was startled, and quickly asked: "But what did you find out, can you cure the emperor's illness?"

Emperor Anyang stopped eating melon seeds and looked at her.

To be honest, as the same emperor, the similar experience of the two made him full of curiosity about this matter.

Gu Nanyan nodded: "It is true that something has been found out. Li Mi's situation is easy to solve. This time I entered the palace to find the person who attacked him."

Hearing what she said, joy appeared on Gu Yao's face, and then fell silent again.

Although it is a good thing that the granddaughter can cure the emperor, the entire palace is now controlled by the Empress Dowager Shen.

Different from killing enemies with open swords and spears on the battlefield, there are many dirty things in the palace, and most of them are shady methods. He is afraid that his granddaughter will be plotted against.

"It's best to discuss this matter with King Sheng. After all, he has entered the palace and knows the situation inside better than you and I. If you have to make up your mind, you should ask him first, so as not to ruin his plan."

Gu Nanyan thought about it, and didn't say anything else.
