Chapter Ch236.2 - Extra – Shao Yu

translator: xiin

editors: apricot & juurensha

Outside the apartment.

Shao Yu called a car online to take him home. On the way home, he was still finishing off the video replay of the White Moonlight competition that he hadn’t managed to watch during the day.

Shao Yu typed on his terminal, typing and deleting, deleting and typing. In the end, there were only three words left: You played well.

The profile image on the other side quickly lit up. The White Moonlight assault player with the little snow leopard avatar replied excitedly: Of course!

Shao Yu looked at his terminal for a long time. A smile covered his face when he bowed his head.

Floating Tower, data monitoring office.

Two small researchers were talking to each other.

“How did Shao Yu get in touch with Brother Wu? Does Brother Wei know about this?”

“He should know… Isn’t Shao Yu an S-level monitoring target? However, he’s really had his memory wiped clean. Other than the fact that his interests and hobbies are a little special, he isn’t causing any harm to society.”

“Even so, he can’t just contact Brother Wu like that, isn’t this––”

Researcher Song pushed the door open and walked in.

“Enough, what’s this!”

“Little Witch said that it was fine, what happened in the past has been written off.”

Shao Yu had been an experimental subject for new drugs in Floating Tower for three years, providing unimaginably precious data for the emotional lock research. Moreover, Shao Yu was the only one who could provide rational feedback on subjective experimental data under a high degree of pain.

Shao Yu’s existence had squeezed the emotional lock research time down from an original estimate of ten years to three years. By last September, all stages of the emotional lock had been unlocked.

Shao Yu had officially ended his redemption through labor in November of last year.

He had taken a lot of the drugs that the genetically modified needed to live with him when the R-Code Base disbanded, but to this day, he had saved far more people than he’d harmed.

Merits and demerits were one of the most difficult things to quantify in the world. By the time Shao Yu left Floating Tower, his physical fitness had plummeted, and his facial features changed slightly. However, in the moment when he’d really reached out to touch the sunlight outside the tower, joy had broken through to the bottom of his heart.

One time, when Shao Yu had gone back to the tower for a review, he’d encountered Wu Jin, who’d gone over to play basketball with Red. The two had exchanged communication numbers at that time.

S-level human-shaped weapons had an extraordinary sense for blood kinship.

Shao Yu was 100% certain that Wu Jin had the same genes as him from the paternal line. After that time, Shao Yu often watched the White Moonlight competitions, bought White Moonlight fan merchandise, and became one of the small number of fans in Floating City who supported teams that weren’t their home team.

In the Floating City Laboratory, Researcher Song took off his white lab coat and prepared to leave work.

“When his memory was erased, from a modern legal perspective, we should regard him as a completely different natural person. Enough about that. Has there been any reports on violations of law and discipline for Shao Yu recently?”

The little researcher thought for a while, “He quarreled with Floating City’s folk science society again. Shao Yu felt that the contents of a certain issue in the journal weren’t reported rigorously… The vice-president of the society is really tired of dealing with a troll like him, calling Shao Yu a low level folk scientist. Then, Shao Yu called the vice-president a piece of pseudoscience livestock, and the vice-president called Shao Yu a plankton. Shao Yu then called the vice-president a single cell amoeba…”

Researcher Song: “… There’s no need to report on this kind of thing in the future.”

What was this! What a waste of time! Work was over!

The next morning, Shao Yu was in a good mood at work.

The Chinese teacher in the seat beside him asked exaggeratedly, “No way? You’re this happy just because your brother replied to your message?”

Shao Yu was wearing his thin-framed glasses as he coaxed, “Be quieter, there are students writing reviews in the office.”

The last lesson before the winter vacation was an all-around development class.

In fact, the all-around development class was simply a class where the teacher would take a group of junior high school students to the Floating City Biomedical University a few blocks away to get a feel for the learning atmosphere.

Shao Yu supervised the students in Class Nine as they put on little red hats that had a positioning function and boarded the suspension bus that would take them to the University.

Floating City Biomedical University had a high status in the entire academic circle.

Not only was it the highest ranking medical university in the whole of Azure Cosmos, they also supplied a continuous stream of talent to the Floating City Laboratory.

Today happened to be an open campus day at Floating City Biomedical University.

Wei Yan was holding a shopping bag for Lisa and wearing sunglasses as he walked around the campus expressionlessly.

Lisa Alfaso wore a white dress and a thick shawl. They looked like the ideal image of youth on the campus.

However, Lisa knew that Wei Yan was being very reserved at the moment.

After unlocking two layers of the emotional lock, the captain of the R-Code team, Wei Yan, finally had a sense of being more human. Even so, he didn’t say much.

Soon, Lisa’s boyfriend took a group photo for them, his smile covering his face as he came forward to take Lisa’s shopping bag from Wei Yan’s hand.

Lisa, who was a junior in Floating City University’s biomedicine program, had inherited her biological talent from her grandfather, Professor Alfaso. The young woman laughed and spoke very quickly, poking fun at the R-Code captain.

“Mao Qiukui says that you like a female survival show player… Hahaha, don’t concern yourself with how I know Qiukui. Is it true or not, Brother Wei Yan…”

Wei Yan’s eyes looked cornered and he refused to answer.

At this moment, he suddenly froze.

In the distance, a group of junior high school students in little red hats walked by. He saw a man with them.

“I’ll be gone for a moment.” Wei Yan’s words were concise and he disappeared from Lisa’s sight.

The open campus day for the university just happened to be during the time when the wintersweet blossoms were in bloom.

The scent of wintersweet floated through the campus. Beneath their feet was snow that hadn’t yet melted, and there were plum trees scattered between the sea of people.

The students in the little red hats were very conspicuous in the crowd, and Wei Yan quickly chased after them.

The White Chestnut District junior high school students were noisy and active.

Teacher Shao was introducing the wintersweet to the students, “The essential oils from the Chimonanthus praecox flower are extracted by using supercritical carbon dioxide, then processed through physics. When it comes to physics…”

Beside him, the Chinese teacher was giving criticism, “In the future, you’re not allowed to write compositions. Red like fire, pink like a sunrise, white like snow… Can you guys not find some other adjectives!”

Shao Yu had only been halfway through his speech when he suddenly stilled.

Someone was standing right in front of him.

Shao Yu smiled and nodded to Wei Yan, then continued leading the students, “So then, about physics… Mister Wei Yan, you’re in the way.”

Wei Yan: “Do you remember me?”

Shao Yu: “R-Code Battle Team captain. Who in Floating City doesn’t know about the survival shows?”

Wei Yan: “……”

Shao Yu led the students to continue walking forward, but Wei Yan actually continued to follow behind them.

There was a needle puncture hole on the back of Wei Yan’s hand that hadn’t yet healed. According to the progress of the medication provided by Floating City, he would completely unlock the emotional lock in two years. And Shao Yu had been the subject who’d been used in the research and development of those drugs.

Wei Yan had wanted to find Shao Yu countless times, wanting to get justice for the professor. But when they met again, Shao Yu was already a Shao Yu whose memory had been wiped to a clean slate.

Floating City had pulled strings, and Professor Alfaso’s case had finally been overturned by the Federation. The emotional lock that the professor had most wanted to crack during his life had also finally been broken.

The R-Code Base had been closed down for many years, and Shao Yu was no longer the same Shao Yu from back then. The three year drug testing had damaged his physical body and lifespan.

The punch that he’d originally wanted to use to beat up Shao Yu felt like it had hit cotton, dissipating like smoke.

In the Floating City Biomedical University, the wintersweet was in full bloom, red like fire, pink like a sunrise, white like snow.

Wei Shi thought of the smoke shrouded R-Code Base, thought of his young self standing in the transformation group and watching as Shao Yu entered the emotional lock for the first time. Then, he’d watched Wei Shi enter the lock, and finally, he’d entered the emotional lock himself.

The junior high school students with the little red hats beside him were endlessly noisy, but Shao Yu was quite patient as he appeased them one by one.

After finishing, Shao Yu turned back and smiled at Captain Wei Yan.

“Captain Wei, the wintersweet flowers are in bloom.”

Wei Yan was silent for a long time, then finally responded, “Yes.”

The wintersweet was blooming.

Juurensha: …you know I really didn’t like Shao Yu before, but this is kind of nice. Don’t like the S he got involved with very much though.

apricot: Wishing Shao Yu a happy future too!

xiin: yeah… so for those of you who felt that SY was shaped by his family/surroundings and didn’t deserve what happened to him, i guess the author agrees. this is an interesting perspective on what he would’ve been like if he’d been ‘normal’. maybe he would’ve actually been a good elder brother to Wu Jin?
