Chapter 226: Chapter 167 Jiang Shu, this darn thing!_3Jiang Shu’s large eyes were filled with confusion, but he didn’t stop his steps, diligently following behind.

Of course, he didn’t choose to walk across the lawn.

He had to take a detour; otherwise, footprints appearing out of nowhere on the grass might give him away.

Details, details determine success or failure.

Jiang Shu watched Liu Tingruo’s movements intently, then dashed toward her destination.

Based on his understanding of Sister Ruo, he guessed she was probably hungry and went out to buy something to eat in the middle of the night, then ended up buying a whole lot and decided to store it all.

Sister Ruo had the good habit of stockpiling food, which he knew about, but he also knew she could hardly keep any food stored.

Unless it was unpalatable.

”Swipe the card,” Liu Tingruo commanded, standing in front of the glass door, to the android robot beside her.

The robot then extended its third hand to the access control device, and the entire glass door opened immediately.

Liu Tingruo walked gracefully into the building and headed straight for the elevator.

Jiang Shu seized the opportunity to slip in and then quickly followed on her heels.

This kind of close-range tailing experience he had only seen in some late-night anime, it was quite exhilarating.

”Ding—” The elevator doors opened and then closed.

The cramped elevator was filled with two people and five robots of various sizes, Jiang Shu carefully shrank into a corner of the elevator, fearing Sister Ruo might suddenly stretch her limbs and spot him.

As is widely known, Liu Tingruo was a nocturnal creature, so she was likely to start working while eating.

By following the unaware Sister Ruo, he could find out what she was researching, and thus he could deduce many things.

Liu Tingruo reached out and unlocked the elevator panel to reveal another numerical control panel inside, she entered the password and pressed the button, and the elevator began descending rapidly.

Her face was so close, pale and tender as jade.

And Jiang Shu swallowed nervously, resisting the urge to pinch it.

He’d certainly die, without a doubt.

Despite the stupid android’s lack of face and shame, Jiang Shu knew, based on his understanding of Sister Ruo, the robot was surely equipped with numerous hidden weapons.

He looked at the Tablet Spirit, and understanding, it activated Mind Reading again.

Spirit: ”Hungry.”

”There’s nothing good to eat in this damn place.”

”The stuff in the convenience store isn’t even fit for humans.”

”So hungry, if only Jiang Shu were here.”

”Heh, Jiang Shu that damned fool.”

Jiang Shu: ”...”

Why am I being cursed again, whenever you think of me, you start cursing? Is ”Jiang Shu that damned fool” your catchphrase now? I remember that wasn’t the case before?

Someday I’ll turn the tables, and you’ll be the one singing my praises.

Jiang Shu curled his lip.

From what he could see in this situation, Sister Ruo was still Sister Ruo.

So what was with her disgruntled demeanor?

Had he recently done anything to offend her?

Thinking this over, Jiang Shu’s gaze turned to the Tablet Spirits numbered Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Ding perched on his shoulders.

Is it you guys?

The Tablet Spirits reeled backward, shaking their heads in unison, clearly indicating he shouldn’t even think of shifting the blame onto them.

”Ding—”

The elevator doors opened.

What came into view was a gigantic test site, encircled by a series of rooms with closed doors, and bright lights flooded the space.

Even at this late hour, there were quite a few workers present.

”Councilman, good to see you.” Upon seeing Liu Tingruo, a worker immediately snapped to attention and saluted, behaving very respectfully.

Councilman?

Jiang Shu repeated in his mind, puzzled.
