Bloodline Suppression (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The two returned home, nearing six in the evening.

Dusk was heavy, only the lights in their home remained warm.

Xia Yuanfang immediately went to the kitchen, wanting to make something delicious for Xia Chujian to soothe her "traumatized nerves" (Xia Chujian's words).

Xia Chujian changed into her slippers and entered the living room, finding Si Xi, Wu Fu, and Liu Shun standing in a row, all looking at her with awkward expressions.

"What's this? Waiting for my inspection?" Xia Chujian chuckled, bending down to first pinch Wu Fu's chubby cheeks, then pat Si Xi's fat dog head. She stood up and poked Liu Shun's semi-circular mechanical head with her finger, "Don't look so serious, it makes me want to laugh."

Wu Fu pounced with a "ao" sound, his small stature only reaching her knees.

He hugged her leg, desperately looking up at her, his face full of worry, "Sister... sister... sister..."

He couldn't say anything more.

Perhaps he had too much to say, but his language skills couldn't keep up.

"Wu Fu, be good, what's wrong?" Xia Chujian's heart melted at his cuteness, and she bent down to pick him up.

Si Xi also jumped around on its short legs, barking, "Wu Er Fu! Wu Er Fu!"

Xia Chujian picked it up as well, then looked at Liu Shun, "Liu Shun, you tell me."

The Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun's eyes flashed a few red lights, and it said in a slightly stiff, electronically synthesized voice, "Master, Si Xi and Wu Fu saw Master's heroic figure with a gun on TV, and they were frightened."

Xia Chujian: "...".

Weren't the Hot Searches taken down?

How did it end up on TV? And seen by the child (dog)!?

Then Liu Shun pressed a button on its body, projecting a virtual display screen in mid-air.

On the screen was a recording made by Liu Shun of Si Xi and Wu Fu watching TV in the living room.

The TV was showing news from Mulan City No. 1 High School.

It seemed that Xia Yuanfang was not at home, and Liu Shun, impersonating a "childcare robot," used its habitual childcare method: turning on the TV.

In the TV news, a GIF was replayed several times.

This GIF was exactly the one from the Hot Search, the scene of Xia Chujian jumping out of the window, kicking, snatching the gun, and then firing.

Then Xia Chujian saw the scene of Si Xi and Wu Fu hugging each other, a small child and a dog screaming in high-pitched voices.

The Small Dog's Wu Er Fu sound was no longer soft and cute, but had a hint of ferocity.

And Wu Fu was almost crying.

Then the TV suddenly went black, and when the image returned, the anchor was muttering, "...Why is the GIF gone? Where did it go?"

Xia Chujian suddenly understood that the Special Security Bureau had taken action.

But Liu Shun revealed two crescent-shaped lines from the display screen in its eyes, showing that it was very happy.

"Fortunately, Master uninstalled Liu Shun's network connection device. Liu Shun is not connected to the internet, so the GIF taken by Liu Shun was not deleted."

Xia Chujian: "...".

Well, it even found a sense of superiority.

Xia Chujian coughed and said, "Don't do it again. Don't show Si Xi and Wu Fu this kind of news in the future. News with bloody scenes like this is not good for children's physical and mental development."

The red light in Liu Shun's eyes flickered a few times, and it said, "Understood, Master. In the future, Liu Shun will not turn on the TV when there is news."

After saying that, it added, "But some big things happened at the house across the hall this afternoon, and Liu Shun recorded them all."

Xia Chujian's heart skipped a beat, "...Are you talking about what happened after Yu Wangyou came back at noon?"

Yu Wangyou's performance at school today had confused her.

She had so many questions, but she didn't want to ask her directly.

Liu Shun "beeped" to indicate that it had guessed correctly, and then proactively handed over a pair of Bluetooth earphones.

Xia Chujian: "..."

Liu Shun, you Housekeeping Robot, you are so fawning, so much to her liking! Xia Chujian quickly put on the Bluetooth earphones and began listening to Liu Shun's recorded documentary of the argument across the hall.

First, there was the hysterical voice of the female nanny.

"That person is spreading rumors! Definitely spreading rumors! It's not true! We can't admit it! We absolutely can't admit it! If we admit it, we're doomed! We have to sue! We must sue!"

Then came Mr. Yu's voice, that is, Yu Wangyou's father.

He said sternly, "Zhao Ma! Mind your place! The masters haven't spoken yet, why are you interrupting?!"

The female nanny then began to sob, "Mr. Yu, I'm sorry... I just... I just... feel so unworthy for our young lady! That person is too vicious! Heaven has eyes, why doesn't a bolt of lightning strike him dead!"

Mr. Yu sighed deeply and said, "Sue? Sue who?! That person is mentally ill! Even if he's not dead, suing him would be a waste of time! If heaven had eyes, we wouldn't have to... hide like this."

Soon, Mrs. Yu's voice, that is, Yu Wangyou's mother, was heard.

"...So we're just going to let him... harm Wangyou?!—That bitch! Why won't she let Wangyou go?! My poor Wangyou... why is her life so miserable..."

Then came Yu Wangyou's suppressed sobs.

She didn't say anything, but the sound of her crying spoke more than any words could.

Finally, some people from the Mulan City Punishment Department came to the door, wanting to speak with Yu Wangyou in person.

Mrs. Yu told them to find her in the Glass Greenhouse on the roof.

The entire recording ended there.

Xia Chujian was still in a daze after listening, but the Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun had already transformed into Detective Robot Liu Shun.

It analyzed in a serious manner, "According to the news on TV, a mentally ill gunman appeared at Mulan City No. 1 High School."

"Student Yu Wangyou returned home when she shouldn't have."

"The news also showed some on-site surveillance video, showing that the mentally ill gunman was the Saintess's Guardian. The following conclusions can be drawn."

"One, Yu Wangyou may have had contact with the Judge Organization, and that mentally ill gunman may be her Guardian. It is also possible that neither of these is true, and someone simply wants to frame Yu Wangyou."

"Two, if that mentally ill gunman is her Guardian, but for various reasons, Yu Wangyou left him and came to Mulan City to continue her studies. What exactly caused Yu Wangyou to leave her Guardian?"

"Three, if Yu Wangyou is not a Saintess, and that mentally ill gunman is not her Guardian, then someone wants to frame Yu Wangyou. If someone wants to frame Yu Wangyou, why frame her? Why use this method to frame her?"

After analyzing this long string of information, Liu Shun's eyes flashed with red light, clearly very excited.

Xia Chujian looked up at it and said, "Liu Shun, you're pretty good, your analysis is very logical."

Liu Shun's slightly stiff electronic synthesized voice was a little proud, "Thank you for the praise, Master. Our robots' mechanical intelligence is built on a foundation of logic."

Xia Chujian also wanted to confide in someone, and the robot Liu Shun was undoubtedly the best confidant.

She wasn't worried about it leaking secrets, nor was she worried about it saying things that would make her uncomfortable.

Xia Chujian said her own analysis, "I don't think it's possible for Yu Wangyou to have contact with the Judge Organization, given her background."

"But that mentally ill person does seem like the kind of lunatic you'd find in the Judge Organization. Birds of a feather flock together, after all. So, to me, Yu Wangyou doesn't seem to fit in with that cult."

"So she must have been framed."

"As for why that person wanted to frame her, and why they used this method, I don't really care. Because I don't want to try to guess the thoughts of a mentally ill person."

"I only care about where that mentally ill person got the Submachine Gun from?—Don't forget, in our Beichen Empire, these weapons of mass destruction are prohibited."

"Unless you have a gun license, but the only people who have gun licenses are specialized government agencies and Bounty Hunters."

"Government agencies aside, this person definitely wouldn't have a chance to get in. And Bounty Hunter isn't so easy to become, you need to undergo regular and irregular mental health checks."

"Such a severe mental patient, let alone in a regular check, even one irregular check would result in him being stripped of his Bounty Hunter status."

"So tell me, where did a person with obvious mental problems get a Submachine Gun? And where did he get so many bullets? The gun looked pretty new, like it had just been unsealed."

Liu Shun was stunned, wanting to respond, but there was clearly so much information that it didn't know where to start.

After a while, it said, "It's a pity Master killed this mentally ill gunman, otherwise we could have asked him directly, and these questions wouldn't be questions."

Xia Chujian didn't think so, "Can you trust what a mentally ill person says? Or can it be used as evidence in court?"

Liu Shun: "..."

Completely unable to refute.

In the midst of the tension, its head suddenly hissed, emitting plumes of Black Smoke, as if its central processing unit had burned out.

In a moment of desperation, Xia Chujian splashed the water from her cup onto its head, using it as a makeshift fire extinguisher...

After being doused with water, the Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun seemed to genuinely calm down.

It looked at Xia Chujian, glided back a step, and, regaining its sense of duty as a Housekeeping Robot, said, "Liu Shun will go clean."

Then it glided away from the living room, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation with her.

Xia Chujian's lips twitched as she slumped onto the sofa, unconsciously hugging Wu Fu.

The Small Dog Si Xi also jumped onto the sofa, snuggling beside her, offering its fluffy head to be petted.

Before Xia Chujian realized it, she had already petted the fluffy Small Dog several times.

She smiled at Small Si Xi, nuzzling her forehead against its dog head.

But her thoughts were still on what had happened today.

It was too sudden, too bloody.

And Yu Wangyou's reaction was too unexpected.

Especially her attacking her intelligence at school!

Xia Chujian still felt a little uncomfortable about it.

But thinking about it carefully, she had to admit that Yu Wangyou's assessment of her was somewhat accurate.

This meant that she didn't really understand Yu Wangyou.

However, the reason she had such a good impression of her, almost unconditionally believing what she said, wasn't because she was stupid, but because of her natural awe of academic geniuses.

There was no way around it; academic geniuses were like the natural enemies of academic failures, almost a Bloodline Suppression.

If she removed this filter of academic genius, the doubts that Xia Chujian had previously ignored would surface one by one.

For example, Yu Wangyou, as the top graduate of Guiyuan Star High School, why did she suddenly transfer from Wind Sea City High School to Mulan City High School? This was already very abrupt.

If nothing had happened in Wind Sea City, even the Small Dog Si Xi wouldn't believe it.

But Xia Chujian couldn't be 100% sure whether this matter was related to the Judge Organization.

Perhaps, as Liu Shun said, if that mentally ill gunman hadn't been shot dead by her, maybe she could have asked him some questions.

Even a mentally ill person could reveal something.

But Xia Chujian didn't regret shooting him dead.

Emptying the magazine later was just because she couldn't control herself for a moment, wanting the gunman to atone for all the students who had died in that class.

She only fired twenty shots, not because she only wanted to fire twenty shots, but because there were only twenty bullets in the magazine.

If she had extra magazines, she would definitely have fired more than three hundred shots.

One shot for each of the classmates who lost their lives in that ordinary class! She hugged Wu Fu and Si Xi even tighter.

Just at the beginning of the year, more than a thousand people had died in the Plaza Garden, and in less than three months, so many more classmates had died tragically.

Life was just too fragile.

This is the second update. It's the end of the month, so please vote for Hongxiu Tickets and monthly tickets! And the daily Recommendation Tickets!
