Chapter 45: Scene 3 You don’t seem to have the authority to ask this question…
"No, that's not right! Host, I discovered something!"
"This boy's energy fluctuations are completely different from those of the others! Although the energy type is the same, the frequency is much more intense!"
"Dense frequency?"
"Yes, that means he can generate several times more energy than others in the same period of time!"
"The scariest thing is, he doesn't release his energy at all! Compared to others, he's like a giant light bulb!"
"So, host, you will save him, right?"
"Be careful!" the young boy shouted softly, pulling He Yuezhe who was almost tripped by something.
He Yuezhe came to his senses, straightened up stiffly, and looked at Yang Jin, who was standing beside him with a worried look on his face. "I'm fine, thank you."
"Okay, okay, can you continue to tell me the story about the factory?" Yang Jin sighed.
The two continued forward.
"I've never seen a robot that can do its job with just a few grunts and haws."
“Why are you so interested in robots?”
He Yuezhe had actually gradually become familiar with the three-section calf walking method, but for some reason he suddenly felt a headache and his steps became flustered.
Yang Jin opened his eyes wide, blinked a few times, and leaned closer to her, saying, "Because it's so cool! And it can do so many things, it's amazing!"
"——So, can you please tell me?"
He Yuezhe's rectangular face was reflected in the boy's eyes, and he turned his head and looked around.
"Can you answer a question for me first?" He Yuezhe touched Yang Jin's head again and pushed him away.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Yang Jin lowered his head and hid aside, raising his chin to signal He Yuezhe to hurry up: "As long as I can answer it, I will tell the truth!"
He Yuezhe stared at him and asked word by word:
"Why don't you have a membrane?"
"Host, isn't this a bit too direct?!" the system exclaimed, "It would be bad if we scared him!"
"Stupid, didn't you hear him say, 'As long as I can answer, I'll definitely tell the truth'? This is such a precious opportunity."
Even if Yang Jin didn't say this, He Yuezhe didn't think there was anything wrong with asking such a question.
After all, things have to be solved, and it is much better to be straightforward than to go around in circles to decipher them.
"Huh? Why does it need a membrane?" Yang Jin was stunned. "No, no, I'm answering the question."
"So, uh... maybe a genetic mutation?"
Yang Jin's words were full of insecurity. He scratched his head and frowned in thought.
"That doesn't seem right... Come to think of it, I've never thought about this question before." The boy grinned awkwardly, "I'm so sorry, how about asking a few more questions?"
When He Yuezhe first saw the humans in this world, she was very confused as to why they were always wrapped in plastic film.
But because the factory was full of robots, she couldn't get any results no matter how much she asked.
Until later, she accidentally bumped into this young man named Yang Jin on the street.
The boy's body was clean, without any thin membranes, but he was much smaller than the others. Even Chen Shu, who didn't like meat, was much taller than him.
"No need." He Yuezhe shook his head and declined Yang Jin's invitation to "ask another question." "I'd be honored if you're willing to answer my question."
"Really? Well, you will come here to buy things again in the future, right?" Yang Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
As the two chatted, the originally long corridor now seemed to take very little time.
"I don't know, maybe not." He Yuezhe tilted his head and answered.
Yang Jin's eyes were visibly dimming. He looked towards the corridor where the two of them were walking, then glanced at He Yuezhe.
"Then if I still want to hear you tell me stories, where can I find you?"
"Host, 607 Park Avenue."
"You go..."
"607 Park Avenue."

Parted with Yang Jin.
He Yuezhe was wandering around the street bored.
She had been "murdered" and was in a near-death state on this street before, so she decided to investigate on the way.
She remembered it was still daytime when it happened.
Although few people go out shopping with robots, she believes that in this world full of mechanical eyes, there will always be clues left.
The street is very wide, with endless black stone roads and sparse houses and shops on both sides that look particularly eye-catching.
He Yuezhe entered several stores one after another. All of them were run by robots. Communication was very quick and the videos played by the mechanical eyes were very clear.
The streets were empty.
It was not until the time of He Yuezhe's death that something different began to happen.
——"Hey, why is the screen flickering? Maybe it's not working well because I've used it for too long. I guess I need to get a new one."
…
——"The display screen seems to be broken. Can you wait? I can fix it."
…
——"There's nothing. Are you sure it's around here? There's nothing here."
…
——"Wait, what is this black spot? Oooohhhhhhhhh?! Why am I bleeding from my nose?!!"
…
"By the way, to ensure a quiet environment, I've locked the door. Please stay outside and don't come in."
After He Yuezhe finished explaining, he quickly closed the shop door, isolating himself from the people outside who were bleeding profusely from their noses and wiping it away with paper.
"Host, will this really work? These robot shop owners seem unreliable." The system turned into a spot of light and lay on He Yuezhe's shoulder.
"And haven't you checked? Most of the mechanical eyes in this area have been damaged. Even if... uh... this guy can fix everyone's screens, it'll be hard to see anything, right?"
He Yuezhe looked at the aproned robot shop owner repairing a computer at the workbench and raised an eyebrow. "Why do you think they destroyed the mechanical eye?"
"To prevent you from discovering who they are?"
“…How stupid.”
"Their goal this time is to kill me. So, destroying the mechanical eye certainly isn't to protect against a 'dead man' like me."
He Yuezhe stood by the door. "They're actually trying to cover their tracks, right?"
"Uh-huh."
"Then tell me, why do these shop owners have the same video of the mechanical eye replaying an empty street?"
"Oh, yeah, these videos are exactly the same, not only in content but also in angles!"
"So, do you have an answer?"
"So, do you have an answer?"
He Yuezhe crossed his arms over his chest and tilted his head to avoid the flying knife!
"Ouch, that's too slow."
"Who are you?!"
The one who threw the knife was the robot shop owner who claimed he could repair screens. He stood up, holding the knife between his fingers, and asked angrily.
"I am a dead man." He Yuezhe thought for a moment and spoke solemnly.
"Host, you are now a robot!"
"No," He Yuezhe added after the system prompt, "I'm a dead robot."
"What, what do you mean?!" The robot shop owner frowned in confusion.
Taking advantage of the moment when the robot shop owner was distracted, He Yuezhe rushed forward and gently broke its wrist with a "click"!
Under her tall figure and strange pressure, the owner seemed speechless.
"...Hey, hey, you must be kidding! How could a damn robot do something like this?!"
The shop owner seemed to have just realized what was happening. He covered his wrist with his hands, trembling, and shouted, "How many of you outside are you just going to watch someone die without helping?!"
"How cool." He Yuezhe secretly sighed, "Is it so easy to break someone's wrist? It seems that in the future..."
"You actually locked the door! What on earth are you doing?!" The owner's angry voice covered the system's voice.
"What should I do...? How about answering a few questions for me? I don't see you're just an ordinary robot, so you should know a lot, right?"
He Yuezhe picked up the flying knife that fell on the ground, spun it around, but still ended up cutting himself.
"Then why don't you just ask directly?! What's the point of breaking someone's wrist?!!!" The shop owner held up the wrist that was broken into two pieces and only connected by a wire, with a vicious look in his eyes.
He Yuezhe raised his eyebrows, raised his foot and "accidentally" stepped on its leg.
"You don't seem to have the authority to ask this question?"
"Aa ...
"Okay, okay, come, let's start with the first question." He Yuezhe grabbed the owner's armpits and carried him onto the chair like a baby.
"Excuse me, was it you or your companion who destroyed the mechanical eye?"
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Yes, yes, yes!! Yes, it was me!!! Ahhhhhhhh!! I have no companions, no companions! Really!!!!”
"Okay, then the second question is, did you or your companions kill me?" He Yuezhe let go of his hand, found a chair and sat down with difficulty.
“No no… Aa ...
As he spoke, He Yuezhe picked up the hammer and knocked it again, and a sign fell out of its arm!
“It’s me…it’s me…hahahaha…I killed him!!! I killed him!!!”
"Third question, which organization do you and your companions belong to?"
“Ha…ha…I won’t tell you…Uhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I’d rather die than tell you—”
"Okay, I'll give you a small privilege. Just don't answer." He Yuezhe waved his hand indifferently.
"Then, one last question. Do you think you are human?"
"What a joke!!! I will never become a human in my life!!! No!! Never!!! Never!!!"
"Host, is that all?"
"What else do you want?" He Yuezhe looked at the robot shop owner sitting on the chair, screaming and twitching intact, "I... am not here to kill anyone."
“But, but!!”
"It's okay. I'll take its name tag and leave. Maybe someone will recognize it, right?"
He Yuezhe opened her palm, and inside lay a slightly worn little sign with blurry words written on it that she didn't recognize.
…
"Hey, why are they all running away?"
He Yuezhe walked out of the store, and the shop owners who were arguing with each other had disappeared.
"What a shame! I was planning on asking them some more questions, but I guess I'll have to wait until next time."
"Then let's save this performance for next time."
She closed the shop door with a smile and walked away as the bell rang, "Welcome again."

"You seem to be in a good mood today?"
Chen Shu was sitting on the carpet watching TV with his legs crossed. When he heard the door open, he turned around and asked.
The robot was stunned for a moment, then a standard smile appeared on the screen: "Yes, Master, because the weather is very good today."
"Why are you happy because the weather is so good?" Chen Shu was puzzled.
Is it possible that the happiness of these robots is without any legitimate reason? What kind of happiness is that?
"If the weather is good, no one will get wet because of the rain, and no one will be scared because of the thunder."
The tall robot put down the shopping bag and pulled out a bouquet of various flowers from behind his back.
——Among them were a few tulips that she particularly liked.
"It's a rare opportunity to see such beautiful flowers."
"So, I'm happy."
Are you happy because others are happy?
Chen Shu buried his head between his legs, trying to confuse himself with the smell of fibers and plush, but his attention was still attracted by the unconcealable floral scent.
"Put it in the vase, it will look nice that way." She said sullenly.
