Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

"Ok!"

Encouraged, Stuart narrowed his eyes happily.

She likes this feeling of being believed and trusted.

If she could do better, Hong would definitely trust herself more, right?

Just like what Bai said—do it well enough, so that Hong also needs them, relies on them, and cannot do without them.

She couldn't help but recall a long time ago, a secret conversation between Bai and her that was not known to Hong.

"Hong loves us very much, there is no doubt about it, Hong only wants us to live happily, and doesn't care if we have any so-called 'function' or 'benefits' to her, this is indeed true."

"However, if we strip away those emotional factors and only think from the lowest level of logic, we have never won what we have obtained. Without us, Hong's life will not have the slightest impact."

"We can't decide anything."

She still remembered that at that time, she subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to her lips, she discovered that what Bai said was indeed true.

Hong can give them love without reservation, and similarly, Hong can take it back at any time, but they can't affect it at all.

They all know this, they just let themselves choose to forget it - forget this feeling of powerlessness, this uneasy feeling that everything may be lost at any time.

"But it doesn't matter, we can actually get it."

"As long as Hong can't leave us."

Along with Bai's narration, she understood Bai's plan.

The emotional connection is solid, but it cannot be unbreakable and foolproof by relying on emotion alone. To make the relationship last forever, they also need value-they must be important enough, irreplaceable enough, important enough to Hong also needs to rely on them, not like now, having them or not has no effect at all.

If their existence is enough to significantly affect Hong's civilization, whether it is scientific research, military affairs, diplomacy, etc., they cannot do without their assistance, then even if one day, Hong doesn't like them, it's just purely rational thinking. In consideration of her own survival, Hong will not abandon these "important assistants".

Only in that way can we truly and thoroughly maintain our current happy life.

That way, you won't be abandoned.

Stuart stroked his chest, trying to calm down the uneasiness in his heart.

Cubs are deeply insecure—and not just because of their childhood experiences, or even exactly a major factor.

A normal person not only has a mother, a family member, but also a lover, a companion, a family member, and all kinds of friends in society; apart from the family, they also have their own lives and social relationships. Have their own pursuit and ideal, have their own many.

Even if one or more of them are lost, they still have other relationships to make up for, and as time goes on, the wound will heal one day, leaving a scar that does not cause pain as long as it is not touched .

But they are not like this, they only have red.

Without them, Hong still has a lot left.

If they lose Hong, they lose everything.

Therefore, even though they also knew that unless she completely lost her memory, it was almost impossible for Hong to abandon them, but this was not absolute after all.

They can't do without them even if they want to make Hong.

From every aspect.

She glanced at the red who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and the corner of her mouth curled into an almost invisible arc.

They will be together forever.

(Hong, who had no idea what happened: Hey, my baby is so cute.)

Volume Two: The War Against Extinction: Chapter 140 Two Look at Me Again

“火星共和国新闻社讯，当地时间246年14月1日7时（标准时间2337年10月15日6时30分），猫盟舰队已全数抵达直布罗陀要塞，G2-139d-b星域内双方的舰队实力再度恢复平衡，标志着灭绝联盟妄图用‘星际闪电战’的方式击败我们的阴谋彻底告吹，我军再度取得阶段性胜利。

"The Vice President of the Republic of Mars led the senior government officials to welcome the Cat League delegation in person at Bo Port, and gave Ms. Stewart, the head of the Cat League delegation and the deputy commander of the Cat League Fleet, the highest courtesy. At the same time, the Martian government held a meeting in the fortress later. It was the first face-to-face meeting between senior officials since the establishment of liaison with the cat alliance. The two sides had a cordial and friendly conversation, enhanced mutual understanding, strengthened strategic mutual trust, and laid a solid foundation for promoting a deeper and more comprehensive strategic partnership.

"At this meeting..."

"Cub, come and see."

Red embraced Stuart with one hand, pointed to the press release on the tablet with the other hand, and said happily: "The first diplomatic visit is so perfect, my son is really amazing."

"That's right, I don't want to see whose cub it is."

Stuart raised his head slightly, with his hands on his hips, looking very proud.

After all, it was the first meeting between the two parties, not to mention the issue of trust, the living conditions such as food and water gravity alone are not easy to coordinate, so after comprehensive consideration, Hong did not choose to let the delegation stay in the On the human fortress, but led it back to the fleet after completing the meeting.

In this way, without the sight of outsiders, Stuart no longer needs to work hard to maintain the decency and reserve of a "deputy commander of the fleet" and "head of the delegation" like he did with humans, but can continue to be a A cute cub.

Although she has accomplished many things that are difficult for adults to do, in Hong's eyes, she is still the carefree cub.

And more importantly, this is exactly what Stuart Hope Red thinks.

In a normal society, with the gradual growth of age and the gradual establishment of their own social relationships, cubs will generally tend to prove that they have grown up, have the ability to be independent, and want to pursue their own independence and maturity, and have The right to make decisions, instead of just listening to adults like they did when they were young-this is a very normal phenomenon, whether it is Catus, Jeffrey, or Homo sapiens they have just learned about. this tendency.

To some extent, this is also one of the reasons why the so-called "rebellious period" exists, although due to the particularity of Hong, the parent, there has never been an individual with an obvious rebellious period among them-after all, her parent is really Too perfect, so caring, under her upbringing, their childhood happiness can be said to be almost full. Without dissatisfaction with their parents, they naturally lack the motivation to resist and express their demands

However, although there is no rebellious period, the growth curve has not changed. It is still theoretically necessary for a person to break away from the small circle of family and integrate into the big circle of society. a stage.

Is there anyone who doesn't want to break away from the control of their parents and decide their own life independently?

Regarding this question, Hong has always believed that it is impossible. Whether it is the relevant documents left by the former Catus or the observation and research on the Jeffery society, they all give the same answer—this is the nature of intelligent creatures , may not be true for a very small number of people, but as long as there are enough samples, the population will definitely move towards the direction.

Therefore, she has long been mentally prepared for the cubs to gradually become independent as they get older—what's more, it's not that they won't kiss her anymore, it's just that they have been separated from their own lives, and no one can control them The desire is so strong that even normal social interaction is not allowed?

Although her cubs have almost grown up and have not shown this tendency, Hong still has a positive attitude towards this conclusion and the judgment based on this conclusion-it's just that the time has not come, after all, she created for the cubs. The environment is really good. Compared with the mental age of people living in normal society, it is normal to not understand these twists and turns.

None of these ideas were wrong, and there was nothing wrong with the logic of this explanation, but the only thing she miscalculated was that her cubs were far more mature than she thought.

It's not that they don't care so much because they don't understand these things, on the contrary, they are actually very clear about them.

But here comes the question, is it what they want to break away from the red wings and become an independent person?

Hong thought that this would be affirmative, but in fact, the answers they gave in their hearts were the opposite.

It's just that after several discussions, they all "tacitly" kept silent together, which made Hong mistakenly think that it was just underage-they didn't want Hong to blame themselves for "distorting their nature".

It can be said that Hong thought she was coaxing her cub.

But in reality, it was the pups who coaxed her.

Of course, they also have their own selfish motives—referring to the "investigation team" who are still staying in Catus to fish, they all have good looks, they are also more lovable, and their professional knowledge is better than most of them. It's all good, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason why Hong doesn't like them, but because "they are not cubs", the relationship at most stops at the level of "good friends", and no one can reach or even come close to what they are status.

Is there any difference between them and the people of Jeffrey Federation?Obviously not, they are almost the same race, whether it is appearance, personality, or scientific research assistance, you can find better ones in the federation - the only thing they can be called special, apart from being born with a new mind and Apart from the first advantage of "taking advantage of the gap" when they are immature, they are the only ones who are cubs.

They always hope that they can be more special in Hong's heart.

"At the beginning, I was worried that you would be nervous. After all, this can be regarded as dealing with people at the top of the human side, and you haven't had much contact with outsiders since you were a child, let alone a formal diplomatic event... I didn't expect you to be able to handle it so well, you seem to be just like those serious diplomats, with ease, without any immature feeling."

Hong leaned over slightly, resting her head on Stuart's soft shoulder.

It is true that these words also have some encouraging factors, but the main factor is that Stewart's performance has really exceeded Hong's expectations, even much better than Hong's ideal situation.

This really surprised her.

"I was always worried that because of me, you would not be used to communicating with outsiders."

It seems that it's not that the cubs are careless, it's just that they don't play tricks on themselves.

"Now, I feel more at ease."

Hong narrowed his eyes very happily, I believe that after seeing this, the main body will definitely be happier than him.

She has always been worried that the cubs will be immature and abnormal, but now it seems that she thinks too much, they are very healthy mentally!

And where Hong couldn't see, Stuart's eyes showed a slight smile.

Bai, that's right.

--------

Unsurprisingly, when Hong on Katus received the news, she was also really surprised.

Are your thoughts wrong?

The performance of the cubs all the time is not because they are too young psychologically, so the psychology influenced by them is abnormal. In fact, their psychology is quite normal, but they have always been preconceived and miscalculated the influence?

With this question in mind, she revisited the performance of the cubs from childhood to adulthood, but this time she did not choose to substitute the premise of "being psychologically immature due to her own influence, so that she is overly dependent", but substituted " The cubs are mentally normal, but they are completely defenseless because of their good feelings", and deduced accordingly.

The result was unexpected, and it actually matched—even after substituting the new premise, the data fit better than the previous premise.

So, have you been thinking too much all this time?

If this is the case, then she can rest assured. After all, her biggest concern about the education of the cubs has always been that they are overly dependent, even to the point of being pathological, and cannot be separated from her at all—maybe Many people will think that this is nothing bad, but for Hong, she still hopes that the cubs can be a normal person, not an appendage trapped by her feelings.

In order to make sure that she was not mistaken again, she specially asked all the cubs to have a one-on-one psychological counseling, and at the same time, she asked some questions that could support this idea without any trace.

"It seems that I really think too much."

After getting the data, Hong finally felt relieved.

Even Bai, whom she has been worried about for a long time, is not as sick as she imagined, she is just a little more clingy and insecure than ordinary cubs.

Even the reason for the previous misunderstanding may be that I have controlled the degree of their dependence on myself by "pretending to be smart", which caused them to feel a little insecure, and it became the so-called "pathological dependence" when it manifested.

Cubs are normal.

Whether it is the old data that is more suitable after being substituted into the new premise, or the new data that has just been collected specifically to verify the idea, it shows this-although if the data can be traced back to the time when Hong just adopted them decades ago, The new model deviated significantly, but it wasn't unexpected.

After all, during that period of time, they had just escaped from the clutches of the old federation for a few years, and they suddenly obtained a life that was unimaginably happier than before. The data dipped slightly towards the pathological end for a short while, and then began to trend rapidly towards normal.

Everything is right.

It's just because she has always been preconceived and didn't find that their psychology has returned to a normal level, and she hasn't readjusted the distance of deliberate control, which has led to their "over-dependence" on the surface.

In fact they are already normal.

This time, she was very confident in her judgment. After all, the fit between the new model and the data was so good, it was like writing the answers first, and then compiling questions based on the answers. There was no room for error.

Unless the cubs have been deliberately falsifying data since more than ten years ago—no, this is not enough, all the cubs have to be in collusion, whether it is psychological evaluation or life, they are all in accordance with the collusion Only by making a plan to mislead her, can mistakes be made.

Putting aside the impossibility of such a long-term and large-scale collusion, what is the purpose of doing so?

It can't be just to mislead her and make her think they are mentally normal, right?

Almost impossible.

Thinking of this, Hong felt that she was really very witty - she could discover the previous mistakes from such a small detail of life, gain insight into the essence of the matter, and correct it in time.

I am so smart!

--------

Seeing Hong who suddenly came to her for psychological counseling, and after receiving her well-thought-out answer, became inexplicably happy again, Bai turned his head slightly, so as not to let Hong see the almost irrepressible joy in his eyes.

Although it is not known who did it and how, it is clear that someone must have succeeded.

Hong thought that she had covered it up quite well, but in fact, for her who had been prepared for a long time, such sudden psychological counseling and such obvious problems were completely telling her in plain language that someone had succeeded.

Hong, as you said, Zai Zai occasionally tells a fib, not only is there no problem at all, but it can also deepen the relationship between us.

She crossed her arms over her chest, feeling her heartbeat beating faster with excitement.

There is no need to worry about it because of your unscrupulous feelings that make us not "normal" and cause us to rely too much on you, so dependent that those people call it pathological or something.

As you said, you don't want me to listen to you like that. Sometimes it's better to be self-willed and more pleasing to you.

Will you forgive me for my waywardness, my wayward dependence, my wayward pursuit, and my wayward desire for more likes from you.

Those people say it's a morbid feeling, but what does it matter, why should they care about their evaluation.

They just define their position as "normal" so that they can stand there and tell us what to do. They don't know how much I need you.

Do you know how scared I was when you first started getting distant?

You know how much I hate them when I know why?

Because it makes you feel like you're twisting us, making you feel like you're killing the future we "should have"?

But without you, we would have no future.

But that's okay, if you don't want to, look, we're normal these days.

I'm also very "normal".

Everything you said, I did.

Whatever you want, I will do my best.

What they can do, I will definitely do better.
