It has been an hour since Chen Xu entered the dream. Apart from his companion Bai Jinxuan, he has not seen anyone else, not even a corpse.

So, when he heard her say that she had seen a skeleton, he immediately became interested. Perhaps there might be some clues there.

"Well--"

Bai Jinxuan said cautiously, "Well, I don't know how to go."

Chen Xu felt that he had lost his mind. He actually wanted her to lead the way. He changed the question, "Is it over there where we just met?"

"Yeah, yeah." She nodded vigorously.

"Let's go." Chen Xu turned around and walked towards the exit of the parking lot.

Bai Jinxuan followed closely behind.

After a while, Chen Xu returned to the place where they met.

His noodle shop had been open for two months, and he was very familiar with the roads around it because he went in and out every day. The place where they met was the entrance of a western restaurant, which was not on the same street as his noodle shop.

He stopped and said, "We just met here. Think carefully about where you have been."

Bai Jinxuan thought about it, turned around, and pointed in a direction, "It should be over there." As he spoke, he walked over.

"I remember I was crossing a road and there was a small black car. I almost hit it when I was running. Yes, it was this car..."

She walked, muttering to herself. At first, she had to stop and think before she could remember which direction she was going, but as time went on, her memory became clearer and she walked faster.

After walking nearly a kilometer, she finally stopped, pointed ahead, and said, "This is it."

Chen Xu followed her all the way, and when he saw her performance, his gaze towards her softened a little. Fortunately, she wasn't just a drag. At least, her memory was pretty good.

If it were him, he would be unfamiliar with the road, get frightened, and panic and would definitely not be able to remember where he had been.

After Bai Jinxuan finished speaking, he immediately shrank behind him.

Chen Xu took out a baton, swung it hard, and slowly walked inside.

If I remember correctly, there are several mobile phone stores on this street, all connected to each other.

He took two steps closer, and the airflow from his body caused the surrounding fog to roll, and a door gradually appeared before his eyes. There were large and small pieces of glass scattered on the ground. When he stepped on them, there was a sound of fragments rubbing against the floor.

He held a baton in his hand, facing forward, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

After taking a few more steps closer, a tall figure suddenly came into view.

His nerves tensed up instantly and he almost stabbed with the baton in his hand.

Bai Jinxuan, who was standing behind him, saw him suddenly stop, looked up, and vaguely saw a shadow. His hair stood on end and he subconsciously wanted to scream, but he quickly put his hands into his mouth to stop the sound.

One second, two seconds.

Chen Xu found that the shadow was motionless. He tentatively took another step forward and finally saw its appearance clearly. Surprise appeared in his eyes.

What I saw before me was actually a robot.

He was over two meters tall, his body was charred black as if he had been burned by fire. There was a big hole in his chest, revealing the metal support inside. It was obviously completely destroyed.

Bai Jinxuan, who was behind him, poked his head out and said in surprise, "So it's not a skeleton."

Chen Xu did not touch it. Instead, he walked around the mobile phone store first. After confirming that there was no hidden danger here, he walked to the robot and began to study it.

From the structural point of view, this robot is quite different from the S01 in the previous dream. The entire body of S01 is made of metal, full of mechanical beauty.

This one, however, is covered with a layer of artificial skin or something like that. It is more like a service robot, and its combat power is not very high.

"Is this a robot?" Bai Jinxuan also came over, staring at the metal bracket on its body curiously, "Is technology so advanced now? Can such a robot be made? Why haven't I seen it before? Oh, look, it even has teeth. It can't be like us humans, needing to eat, right..."

"Let's go." He stood up.

She still couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to take this away?"

"You can take me if you want." Chen Xu said unhappily. He felt that sooner or later, he would be annoyed to death by her.

He walked to the mobile phone store next door and started searching.

…………

Two hours later, Chen Xu walked out of a western restaurant and stood at the door, looking at the thick fog that showed no sign of dissipating. He said in annoyance, "This is fucking terrible."

The thick fog blocked his vision, greatly reducing his efficiency. Normally, he only needed to take a quick look at a room. Now, he had to run to every corner, and if he missed anything, he might miss important clues.

For more than two hours, he kept running around, just exploring a few streets around him, and found nothing except the robot.

Now, he simply hated this fog.

Behind him, Bai Jinxuan quietly opened a piece of chocolate and was secretly stuffing it into his mouth. When he heard his words, his face flushed a little, "How dare you curse at me?"

Chen Xu was already full of anger, and after hearing her words, he became even more annoyed. He said coldly, "Then don't follow me." After saying that, he walked out.

"don't want."

Bai Jinxuan became anxious and rushed forward to grab his hand.

"Let go." Chen Xu didn't expect her to react so quickly. He wanted to shake her off, but she held on tightly and refused to let go. When she heard his words, she shook her head vigorously.

After a while of stalemate, Chen Xu's anger subsided a little, and he asked her, "What do you want to do?"

"I was wrong just now. I should apologize to you, okay?" Bai Jinxuan looked at him with a pout. "Yes, I hid two pieces of chocolate. I was so hungry that I secretly opened them and ate them. Since you found out, I'll give you one piece..."

Then, seeing him looking at her with a strange look, she became anxious, "Are you going to take it all? What should I do then? You have to give me half of it at least..."

Chen Xu was almost amused by her, "Who wants your crappy chocolate? There are plenty of them in the supermarket."

Bai Jinxuan was stunned at first, then his mouth gradually opened wide and he murmured, "Yes."

Chen Xu didn't know whether she was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, but after being teased by her, his annoyance was relieved a lot, and he said, "Okay, let go of my hand, let's rest here for a while and eat something before leaving."

"You won't run away, will you?" Bai Jinxuan was still a little wary.

Chen Xu sighed, "Silly girl, I really want to leave, can you stop me?"

"Won't."

Bai Jinxuan then let go, but kept his eyes on him, as if he was afraid that he would break his promise.

Chen Xu ignored her, took out a cylindrical jar from his backpack, put it on the ground, pressed a switch, and a semicircular net popped out from the top.

After doing this, he sat on the ground and took a rest.

Bai Jinxuan was sitting next to him, taking the chocolate he had just peeled and eating it in small bites. Halfway through, he suddenly said, "I want to ask you for a favor, okay?"

Chen Xu's eyes did not leave the cylindrical object. Hearing this, he said, "Speak."

"Next time you scold me, could you please not be so harsh?"
