Chapter 691: Get Lost...
Zeke’s mind went blank, he was utterly clueless as to what he should do in a situation like this.
Without a doubt, this was not the first time he had seen someone cry. He had had a lot of experiences observing others. Just by casually walking down the street, he could see one or two children wailing loudly with their faces flushed red, fat droplets of tears rolling down their cheeks without stopping as if their bodies were made of water. Once, he had also seen his servant secretly wiping her tears when she thought that nobody was looking, because she was unable to leave the Palace to visit her sick mother. He had even tried to do it himself when his Imperial Father collapsed due to yet another illness.
However... the stupid assassin was different. He had never seen someone cry like this before.
Clearly, his face remained expressionless and no emotions could be discerned from his vacant eyes. Yet his tears fell again and again, one droplet after another, as if he was a tormented soul trapped in a broken doll body. And only through the tears could he vent the anguish from the depth of his heart.
Zeke pursed his lips tight and he used his soft paw to rub his chest. Why was he feeling uncomfortable again?
It couldn’t be. He had eaten his fill and was no longer famished, so hunger was not an option. His mind quickly worked to think of another possibility. Had the milk been spoiled and that’s why he had a heartburn now? That was a possibility but... he was not stupid. He could analyze himself better than the others. He had felt this twinge of discomfort twice, and both times were caused by the assassin in front of him.
Zeke could not help but snort. How ridiculous. He was only a virtual character in the simulation, for God’s sake! How could this person induce such emotions from him when nobody else could ever before?
Had the system improved its mechanism?
If that was the case, then Zeke had better give his sincere praise and gratitude to the researchers once he returned. If he kept this up one or two times, then there was a huge possibility that his old illness could be cured, and he could finally be able to ’feel’ just like any normal human!
