“That’s right, there’s actually someone in Qing Zi Academy who wants to protect the mice.”

Dr. Yu stuck his hands in his coat pockets and shrugged.

“I don’t know who exactly they are, but ever since they saw white mice corpses being moved out of the VIP building and they heard about my experiments, they started targeting me.”

“Initially, they put up posters on the outside of the VIP building that said ‘stop taking lives, Yu SuiLiang is a butcher who slaughters animals’ and the initials was SAFE…”

No way, Dong Shan city also has a branch of the Save the Animals From Extinction (SAFE) group? I heard SAFE originated from New York and their motto was to save animals from the hands of humanity at any cost, but they were already declared as a terrorist organization in Germany due to their extreme actions.

“Back when I was at Stanford, me and my senior ran into American SAFE members. We felt like we couldn’t communicate with them at all and they were no different than those religious lunatics… I never expected that I would run into them in China. It looks like this is one area where China actually aligns with the rest of the world.”

“Did they not catch the people who put up the posters?” I was quite displeased with the negligence of Ai Mi’s bodyguards….

Dr. Yu shifted his Google glasses, “If they only stopped outside the VIP building for a short period and they weren’t wearing anything suspicious, then the bodyguards won’t bother them. I’m guessing these SAFE members are Qing Zi Academy students from the high school division.”

“How do you know?”

“The posters were all put up in relatively high positions above the height of an average middle school student. Also, the posters were bilingual. It contained both Chinese and English, and it uses vocabulary that middle school students still haven’t learned.”

“So that means it’s someone from Qing Zi Academy, but why can’t it be a teacher?”

“It’s possible that teachers are involved. After they put up the posters and realized I wasn’t going to stop, they somehow got their hands on my email and started emailing me threats. Also, once when I was taking a car to make a house call, they used a rock to break the front windshield…”

“I can’t believe this happened.” I slammed the operating bed in anger, “Did anyone get hurt, was Ai Mi in the car at the time?”

“So you’re just worried about your sister. When you questioned the bodyguards’ job earlier, you were also worried about your sister right? It doesn’t matter even if I’m killed, right?”

“Huh, Dr. Yu, why are you jealous?” I frowned, “You’re still alive and kicking and still able to resuscitate me now, so that means you’re fine. Also, you’re Ai ShuQiao’s henchman, so it’s not surprising if you’ll become my enemy one day, so why should I worry about you…”

That wasn’t entirely true. Personally speaking, I hoped that Dr. Yu can be on my side, or least remain neutral. If he was actually injured by SAFE members, then I’ll definitely fight them.

“Ye Lin, it doesn’t matter if you’re worried about me or not, but don’t say stuff like we will become enemies one day in front of B-2.”

“Why can’t I say it in front of B-2?”

“Why did you think you got attacked by B-2 today?”

“But I’ve never said anything like that before and B-2 has never heard me say it!”

Dr. Yu smiled bitterly and looked out the glass door at the shutdown B-2 that was waiting to be repaired.

“That day when I was attacked with a rock by an unknown assailant, I happened to be driving to the special education school. I wanted to persuade some disabled children to accept my mechanical prosthetic limb transplantation, so I brought B-2 with me, so that they could see rapid developments in robotics technology…”

“Um, Dr. Yu, isn’t B-2 a design from your high school days? Besides being ugly, a knockoff, and brain-dead, how does B-2 show rapid developments?”

Dr. Yu inhaled deeply in discontent then let out a “hiss”.

“Ye Lin, will you die if you don’t make any comebacks? Anyway, B-2 personally witnessed me being attacked on the car. Afterward, I also gave the threatening emails I received to B-2 to see if it could find any traces of the SAFE members in Qing Zi Academy. After searching hundreds of thousands of internet messages, it got paranoid and suspected that every single one of them were SAFE members who wanted to hurt me.”

I now kind of understood why B-2 attacked me.

“While you were unconscious, I read through B-2’s most recent logic analysis logs, and it looks like it learned from some of the SAFE members online comments that they were going to perform a even more ‘severe warning’ against me. It then came across a general SAFE forum with a discussion post titled ‘Xiao Ding’s friend Ye Lin, is he a member of SAFE or not?’.”

Damn, so that’s why I was attacked? Last time when I couldn’t help but participate in the stop the cars to save the dogs incident, the spokesperson, Ma HuiYu, suspected that I was a member of SAFE because she saw that I falsely accused the dog traffickers of drug trafficking without any hesitance to stop them from leaving. Now it turns out that this suspicion was being discussed again on their forums?

So after B-2 used its CPU that ran millions of calculations per second and integrated hundreds of thousands of pieces of information, it came to the conclusion, “Ye Lin is most likely a member of SAFE and he’s most likely going to harm Dr. Yu today, so the best way to handle it would be to knock him out and then hand him over to Dr. Yu to deal with.”

I might be B-2’s third master, but I wasn’t as high ranked as Dr. Yu. According to the modified version of the Three Laws of Robotics, it would not hesitate to fire a needle at me to prevent me from smashing Dr. Yu’s head with a rock.

I’m innocent! I can’t believe wrongly accused by a robot! Who are you calling a member of SAFE? I even think Ma HuiYu’s animal protection organization is a bit too radical and I don’t want to deal with them anymore.

After solving my doubts, I still felt like something was wrong.

“Dr. Yu, the robot you created is a bit too ‘intelligent’. The difference between me and you is simply the difference between master number three and master number two, but it used its own assumptions, without consulting you, and attacked me directly. If it wasn’t for my good reaction…”

I hesitated when I said this. Although I dodged the first three shots, but in the end, I was still too late and received a fourth shot in my butt, so it doesn’t really show my good reaction.

Dr. Yu nodded, “I’ll refine its program to avoid it becoming too autonomous and acting before reporting in the future, but its only weapon is the needles, so even if it had hit you with the first shot today, it wouldn’t have caused any substantial damage, would it.”

After Dr. Yu and I discussed about B-2 and SAFE for a while longer, I began to feel hungry, so it was probably dinner time.

“I don’t think the checkup is necessary today.”

My confidence increased due to the shocking offensive and defensive battle with B-2 in the elevator. I felt that I had a chance of winning against human or non-human opponents of similar strength as long as I abode by the 3-minute limit. I was currently in a good physical condition other than my heart problems.

I sat down on the operating table again and rolled up my sleeves.

“Let’s draw the blood right now. After that, I might be able to eat more for dinner.”

According to the agreement with Ai ShuQiao, I had to donate blood every few days for her research institute to use for inventing new medicines. The amount of blood drawn each time ranged from 50 milliliters to 100 milliliters, which was far lower than the 200 milliliters and 400 milliliters of blood that people would donate without any compensation.

Also, my blood donation was “compensated”. Ever since I started to let Dr. Yu draw blood regularly, Ai ShuQiao has become “concerned” about me. Last time, she even used Dr. Yu as an intermediary to ask if I needed any money to spend, as if I could ask her for an allowance.

Don’t look down on me, all I want is my sister, Ai Mi’s, freedom. Once I find out that you’ve broken the agreement, I’ll terminate your blood supply immediately.

Doing analysis experiments requires a large amount of my blood, right? I only donate less than 100 ml of blood each time, so it must take a long time if you want to research a groundbreaking painkiller. According to Dr. Yu, my blood doesn’t meet the requirements every time, the efficacy of the extracts will change along with my diet and other causes, so it changes a lot.

So Ai ShuQiao might be putting in all this hard work for vain. I don’t care if she can research a new type of painkiller that is extremely profitable. I just need her to gradually let go of Ai Mi and let Ai Mi quit acting, then I’ll keep donating my blood to provide the possibility of developing a new drug. If she doesn’t, then I’ll immediately drink a lot of alcohol and risk becoming brain-damaged to kill off the virus in my body.

Dr. Yu stated: I had just been hit with a needle, so my blood composition might have been subtly altered, and he’s afraid it won’t be helpful even if he draws it.

“Forget it then.” I jumped down from the surgical bed and wanted to walk to the first floor of the VIP building to eat, but Dr. Yu called me back.

“Ye Lin, while there are still a few minutes left before dinner, is it okay for you to jerk off here?”

Damn, Dr. Yu, what are you talking about? Did you get contaminated by Peng TouSi? Do you actually want to see boys jerk off for your enjoyment?

Seeing my shocked expression, Dr. Yu explained, “Don’t misunderstand, it’s just that my senior, the Poison King, thinks that the toxin has invaded into various bodily fluids. In order to research a new drug, it doesn’t necessarily mean we can only use your blood, so he also wants a sample of your semen ‘fluid’….”

“Holy shit, he has heavy tastes.” I frowned, “Don’t tell me he also wants a sample of my urine?”

“Your urine doesn’t contain toxins instead.” Dr. Yu reminded me, “Remember when I said that the toxins can’t be excreted with your metabolic end products?”

I expressed it was difficult to give a sample of my semen.

“Um… In case the research is successful and my blood extracts can be used as a painkiller, where terminally ill patients who take the medicine orally or by injection will be able to alleviate their pain, then I will still be pleased and feel slightly proud that I’ve made a contribution to humanity…”

“But what is my semen going to be used for? Would it also be a painkiller and would it also be taken orally? Why does it feel so obscene? Would I have to feel proud of myself, what would I even proud of? Would it be because I helped alleviate other peoples pain, or would it be because I ejaculated in everyone’s mouth.”
