Chapter 919 - 918: Even the Machines Have Gained Sentience!

Qin Wenrou scoffed, "Wait for her to help me? Wait until the cows come home? She’d rather see me dead! If she really wanted to help, she should give me her own heart!"

Mrs. Qin was taken aback.

After blurting out those words, Qin Wenrou was also momentarily stunned.

That’s right, a family member’s heart has the highest compatibility rate. She lost the volunteer heart, but she’s not completely out of options...

She gazed at Mrs. Qin, her expression suddenly softening, "Mommy, it’s late. You should go to bed. Don’t worry about me. I was just startled by a bat. Let’s talk about anything else tomorrow. Didn’t you say my sister’s wedding is the day after tomorrow? If you can’t sleep, why not go prepare a gift."

Mrs. Qin was a bit dazed, feeling something was amiss with the atmosphere, but couldn’t quite pinpoint it. She just sighed, "Okay, get some rest. Rou’er, remember, Mommy will always love you the most. As for the heart surgery, I’ll find a way for you."

Qin Wenrou: "Mm-hmm."

Mrs. Qin lovingly embraced her once again before leaving.

After the door closed.

Qin Wenrou’s smile faded, and she quickly pulled out her phone to send a message:

"Mr. Duanmu, can we meet tomorrow? I agree to your suggestion from last time to start a live stream of playing the piano with my feet... But I’ve run into a bit of a problem—I need your help to find some assistants..."

Relying on others is useless; she still has to find her own way out!

Nalan Family’s old mansion.

Since Nalan Ye Jue moved out to live at Xinghe Bay, and Mrs. Nalan and her husband are mostly traveling abroad, this time flying to A Continent to pick out diamonds for the wedding, the servants and bodyguards are the ones busying around the Nalan family’s old mansion these days.

Even in the late night, several rooms in the old mansion are lit up, preparing the arrangements and ingredients needed for the wedding day.

The clouds in the night sky grew increasingly dense.

Suddenly!

The lights of the mansion flickered off all at once.

"Ah, what’s going on?"

"There’s a power outage? This can’t happen during the wedding."

"Electrician, electrician, go and fix it!"

"Butler, candles, light the candles first!"

As everyone was talking over each other, they suddenly saw the old butler, who had gone to fetch candles, stagger backward from the doorway, shaking his arms: "Don’t come over, you... you guys..."

The bodyguards rushed over: "What’s going on?"

However, when they got to the butler, even the bodyguards were stunned.

Everything before their eyes was too fantastical and shocking—

All the large and sharp outdoor machines parked on the big lawn outside the mansion, like the lawnmower, sprinkler, wood saw machine... all lit up automatically and came inside.

And they pointed their sharpest parts directly at them.

This wasn’t a joke. Just the wood saw alone, with a five-meter-long chainsaw, could cut a row of bodyguards in half instantly, much more powerful than ordinary intelligent robots.

Used to ordinary robots, the bodyguards were momentarily at a loss when they saw these bulky and sharp machines seemingly acting with sentience.

"Cut off the power supply, cut the power!"

Someone shouted.

Thus, a series of gunshots fired at those machines.

However, the machines remained unaffected, unmoved.

They weren’t connected to a power source, as if some invisible force was sustaining them, it was too inexplicable.

Have these machines become sentient?!
