Qingyi cradled Wise's face between both hands. Her fair, soft complexion had warmed to a visible rose, and though her expression remained composed, the quiet affection in her eyes was impossible to miss.
"Qingyi, your current state..."
He was more than familiar with this situation and knew exactly where it would lead.
"Ah, that... ever since the firewall was breached, its resistance to this kind of corruption seems to have weakened considerably," Qingyi said, her voice slipping into a soft gasp.
Her gaze remained fixed on him as her face gradually drifted closer. But the moment Wise moved to meet her, Qingyi pressed a single finger against his lips and held him there.
"Heh, young people really can't wait, can they? I... I can't... not yet..."
A faint smile curved her lips, though her body told a very different story, pressing against his without restraint. The delicate warmth of her Intelligent Construct body made Wise instinctively wrap his arms around her.
Qingyi did not resist. Instead, she continued speaking, her voice now laced with a subtle tremor.
"Do you know? I come equipped with a law enforcement recording function. If you try to do anything... everything will be captured, so..."
She paused, struggling to steady her breath as the blush on her face deepened with every passing second—she was clearly nearing her limit.
"If you don't want those two girls to find out... then help me... remove... the corruption..."
Her words became increasingly fragmented, her consciousness beginning to blur at the edges. She was barely holding herself together, and it showed in the way her delicate fingers quietly tugged at Wise's jacket.
Still, Wise understood enough. She wanted his help to cleanse the corruption that had slipped past her breached firewall. That was why she had come to him, even using the threat of recorded footage as leverage.
As for the two girls she mentioned, his thoughts immediately drifted to the Carnival. Belle had told him about running into Qingyi and Zhu Yuan there.
She had likely seen him with Koleda or Nekomata at some point during that time. But Qingyi had clearly miscalculated, because Wise himself had no idea how to go about removing the corruption.
And even if he did, why would this be the way she chose to go about it?
Choosing not to report it to Public Security could be seen as consideration for their shared past. But skipping any form of negotiation and going straight to a threat...
That felt unlike her—far too impulsive.
[I can explain this, Master.]
The System's voice surfaced quietly, laying out the reasoning in a concise manner.
Qingyi's favorability toward him was already quite high, and given the nature of their previous encounters, she had no real intention of harming him.
What the System had not accounted for, however, was what had been running through Qingyi's mind from the beginning. She had originally planned to deal with the corruption on her own terms.
Her reasoning had been simple: if her firewall had managed to hold it back once, then after an upgrade, it should last even longer.
That extra time would allow her to find a proper solution. The recorded footage had never been the plan itself, only a contingency.
On top of that, before leaving, she had quietly informed Zhu Yuan that if Wise and Belle tried to take advantage of her, she would intervene.
But reality had already drifted far from her original expectations. She had told herself that since they had already kissed once, doing it again would not be a big deal. That reasoning was now beginning to crumble.
"Consciousness... is..." The sentence never finished.
Qingyi closed the distance and kissed him again before the words could leave her lips.
At the same time, the heat building within her frame drove her to start removing her gear, her movements slow and unsteady as her control continued to slip away.
Wise realized there was no turning back. Qingyi had already entered full baby-making mode, throwing away any warnings from her firewall or protocols.
Immediately, he decided to take the lead. In a sudden move, he grasped Qingyi's waist and pressed her down onto the sofa.
The girl, whose mind had been overtaken by new sensations, gained a moment of clarity.
"You... What are you trying to do with your senior... I can't..."
"You know, Qingyi, you're very cute," Wise murmured, planting a kiss on the corner of her mouth.
"I... I'm just an Intelligent Construct. Your praise won't... Ahn~"
Wise grabbed her small yet surprisingly soft chest and kneaded it with a gentle motion.
"Even if you keep insisting you're replaceable, not alive, or emotionless, I know you're more alive than most people." He pulled off Qingyi's black tank top, exposing her bare chest.
Now she wore only her shorts, feeling deeply embarrassed, which puzzled and confused her further.
"No... Wise..."
Qingyi didn't want to admit it, but ever since Wise had been affirming her value and treating her not as a machine but as a person, she'd been at a loss.
Sure, others treated her the same way, like Zhu Yuan, but she was used to that and simply brushed those concerns aside.
With Wise, however, it felt different.
She was genuinely moved by his words, unable to understand why.
In the end, after finishing the Kidnapped Bangboos case, she'd decided to make him remove the strange sensation from her body.
Now, instead of fixing anything, Wise was gently sucking on the tip of her nipple like it was candy.
Lucky for him, this part of hers was too sensitive, making her unable to react, or she would have beaten him to a pulp.
"Hmm... Aanh... Ohh~"
Seeing Qingyi trying to hold back her moans, Wise found it very cute and used his free hand to slowly remove her last piece of clothing.
Qingyi failed to notice that her last bit of "protection" had been removed, granting Wise access to her sacred place.
Of all her body parts, she had never replaced her torso, only her arms, legs, twintails, and certain specific components, meaning everything from her chest to her lower area remained original.
Moreover, this was the first time anyone had dared touch her there, as it had never truly required repair.
"Not there... As a Public Security officer, I order you to... Aahn~" She released a loud moan, startling even herself. "What are you... Oohh... no..."
Each protest was silenced by Wise's practiced hand playing with her rosy area. The tip of his index finger barely slipped inside her, causing Qingyi to lose all control over her body.
Her final option was to shut off all her sensations to make it stop, but she simply didn't want to.
'The breath of a dragon is indeed hot, as is the so-called desire...'
Even her old sayings were turning against her.
"Oh, you're quite wet down there. Your body truly is made to be perfect," Wise observed, making Qingyi blush deeper.
"T-This... this is just my cooling system turning on. Don't get the wrong idea... wait, what are... Ohn~"
Before she could complete her sentence, Wise had already shifted his position once more, gripping Qingyi's soft thighs and sliding his tongue inside her private area.
Qingyi was in disbelief. She knew he was into her current body type, but she never imagined he would actually go this far.
Weren't people with such preferences labeled by the old civilization as lolicons?
'I can't hold back... It's just so... Oohh... yes, this sensation is just as good as drinking tea!'
Her thought processor simply gave up under Wise's skilled tongue, working on her rosy entrance. Her body's cooling system was forced into overclock mode, pushing her toward what humans call climax.
"No... aahhn... I-I... Mmmnngh~!" Unable to resist any longer, she released a slightly viscous liquid from her cooling system directly onto Wise's face.
Initially, when Wise began working with his tongue, he'd assumed her "body fluids" would taste like oil or something inedible for humans, but the system had confirmed it was merely a special type of liquid, completely safe.
When he sampled her liquid after receiving this information from the system, he discovered it was faintly sweet like nectar, leaving him mildly addicted to the taste.
"You taste quite good, Senior," Wise murmured while licking his lips and wiping his face.
"Haah... Hah... my system is nearly reaching the critical point, but... I want more..."
Upon hearing those words, Wise smiled and stripped off his clothes, then positioned Qingyi on his lap, aligning his hardened length with her rosy entrance.
It appeared Qingyi's body possessed countless sensors, both internal and external. While licking her down there earlier, he detected a particularly tight space that was remarkably similar to a real woman's interior.
He had no idea what her creators were thinking, crafting her in such detail.
Perhaps in catastrophic scenarios where humanity faced certain extinction, all models produced at the time could serve as incubators to sustain life if necessary.
Regardless, it didn't matter. What mattered was that she could fully experience "mating" in all its glory.
Wise held her soft waist and slowly began penetrating her. However, he felt Qingyi's body tremble while blue electric sparks leaked out everywhere. Fortunately, it caused neither him nor his member any harm.
"Warning! A strange, hard object is now entering the filter area! In case of damage to the protective membrane, the system will leak lubricative oil to prevent further damage. Repair of the said membrane is impossible. Proceed with caution and remove the intrusive object!"
Suddenly, Qingyi's voice changed to a robotic tone as she recited the warning. Hearing this, Wise started to hesitate, concerned he might cause irreversible damage.
However, to his surprise, she moved on her own, pushing his member even deeper inside.
He felt as if he'd pushed through something faintly elastic, and when it tore, his member became drenched in a very cold yet relaxing liquid.
Before he could enjoy it, Qingyi's insides squeezed his member so hard that he couldn't hold back and emptied his white seed inside her.
"Nnnggh!"
This wasn't Qingyi's gasp but Wise's, who, for the first time, found himself defeated, finishing first.
'Cheating... t-this is cheating!' he grumbled internally.
Even the twin sisters hadn't made him finish that fast after he'd entered them.
"I won't lose!"
As Wise declared, his determination renewed, Qingyi said something that made him swallow nervously.
"Hidden functions activated successfully! Manual of one hundred poses active! Sensitivity and extra modules of the lower area are working! Mode Procreation is now finally online!"
Her voice, despite its robotic tone, held a trace of excitement he'd only witnessed when she activated autopilot.
When he glanced at where they were connected, he saw that she was still leaking something with a color similar to burgundy. It was thick and cold, sending a slight shiver through his body.
As he became slightly distracted, Qingyi started moving. Wise, who remained hard, noticed her typically composed face now bore a faintly lewd smile.
The glow in her eyes had dimmed somewhat, and her tongue lolled out of her mouth, dripping a liquid that surely wasn't saliva but looked just like it.
"Aahn... ahhh... aahnn... Wise... I... like... you...? Like... Like.... Annh~"
Qingyi's words emerged in a stuttering, delayed tone as if glitching. The sparks intensified as well, and her pace became nearly inhuman.
"Objec... tive... milk... mi... lk... yo—u!"
Wise couldn't understand anything, nor did he care, because at this moment, he was being completely dominated by Qingyi.
His reinforced body struggled somewhat to keep up with her speed, and the sounds of their coupling grew embarrassingly loud.
"Plap plap... slap... slap..."
'Dammit, at this rate I'm going to cum again!' Wise thought, attempting to regain some control but ultimately failing and releasing his seed inside her once more moments later.
"Haa... let's go again. I'll win!"
Despite his declaration, Qingyi maintained the same expression and shoved him onto the sofa, mounting him in a cowgirl position and beginning an intense ride.
"Aahn... mmh... mmh... Internal tank... not full... aannhg~"
Qingyi's movements grew more forceful than before, chasing his seed, like a person searching for water after wandering through a desert for hours.
"I won't let you win this time, Senior," Wise proclaimed, also moving to get even deeper inside her.
He could even faintly see where his member was reaching just by looking at her stomach.
Her petite frame was truly dangerous. But this time she really couldn't win, and her already overheating system hit its limit again, discharging more lubricant to cool itself down.
"Error... cooling... reaching... threshold... e-expelling now right... cuummmin—Nngaaaah~!!!"
Once her internal tank was filled with Wise's seed for the second time, she collapsed limply against him, trembling as sparks scattered everywhere.
But just seconds later, she'd already recovered, and now Wise shifted their position, placing her on the armrest of the sofa as he began penetrating her from behind, gripping her twintails as handles.
"We still have some time. Let me show you what I can do!"
The "duel" continued for hours until Wise claimed victory, with Qingyi collapsing limply against his chest.
It appeared her energy had been entirely drained, and she slipped into standby mode.
<<<>>
"Ugh! Miscalculation!"
Qingyi stared down at Wise, who lay beneath her with both arms wrapped around her, a faint trace of resentment flickering in her eyes.
A certain part of her body had sustained irreversible damage, the kind no self-repair function could restore.
'Damn it! Do you really have a thing for someone like me?!' she fumed inwardly, the frustration burning deep within her mind.
"Qingyi, you moved before I could finish speaking. I really couldn't stop it."
Wise looked up at her, clearly aware that she seemed ready to bite him at any moment, and tried to smooth things over.
He reached up, gently running his fingers through her long, twin-tailed hair. Qingyi said nothing, simply letting herself rest against him, as if the struggle had drained her strength, leaving only quiet resignation.
Afterward, Wise carefully explained everything to her, covering much of what he had already told the others.
"I see... so it wasn't a hacker intrusion or an external virus, but what humans refer to as emotions? How fascinating."
Now dressed and seated beside him, Qingyi wore a calm smile. Tilting her head slightly, she asked, "So, you did it on purpose?"
She was, of course, referring to the moment he had suddenly appeared in the Hollow and kissed her.
"Hmm... if I said I did it on purpose because I genuinely like you, would you be angry?"
[Qingyi's favorability decreased by 1 point!]
'Eh? She's still upset?'
"I am glad that you like me, but words without substance are not how one earns a girl's trust."
Qingyi aimed for composure, though her tone carried a faint hint of displeasure.
"Do you still not understand me? I'm not someone who speaks without meaning it. If you trust me, Qingyi, then I'll prove it to you," Wise said, gently taking her small, soft hand into his without waiting for permission.
She didn't pull away. Instead, she looked at him with quiet curiosity.
"Oh? So you're saying you'd cut ties with the others... for my sake?"
"No."
"Huh? You want all of them? How greedy."
A soft breath of amusement escaped her lips.
"I have no interest in indulging fantasies straight out of an ancient emperor's tale. Come find me again when you've thought things through properly."
With that, Qingyi stood to leave. But before she could take a step, Wise caught her arm and pulled her back into his embrace. Her small frame was secured effortlessly, leaving little room for resistance.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" she asked calmly, without a trace of panic.
Turning her head, she met his gaze. Wise smiled back at her, completely at ease.
"Nothing much. It's just... leaving like this feels a bit inappropriate, don't you think? Why not come upstairs and get cleaned up first?"
At his words, Qingyi glanced down at herself.
The earlier activity had left her body with a noticeable amount of cooling fluid and lubricant. Certain areas clearly required proper maintenance.
"...Fine."
After a brief pause, she agreed.
Qingyi had always been fully aware of her own worth, and that awareness told her she deserved to be properly taken care of.
If nothing else, today had given her a deeper understanding of what it meant to truly experience being "alive."
