In front of the familiar gate, Wang Xuan came with the little girl and asked the robot to take a photo. Lele was either sitting on his shoulders or being held high up, with a pure and happy smile on her face.
But in the first few photos, she was smiling, but with tears in her eyes, unable to control herself.
"Mom...died of illness. She left during the time I was in a coma, and I will never see her again." The little girl told what happened in the past.
There is no cure for the five diseases of decline of the heavenly beings. Her whole family are indigenous people, and sooner or later they will face that tragic situation that makes people feel helpless and powerless.
She was taken in to an orphanage not far from here. She lost her parents and relatives at a very young age and was left alone.
During the time she was in a coma, her snow-white kitten also disappeared and most likely became a stray cat.
In this day and age, there are really few orphans. With advanced technology and high medical standards, it is rare for families to abandon their young children.
The orphanage was small, with only a few children and even fewer people to take care of them, and they went to a nearby school outside.
Every time the little girl Lele missed her parents, she would come here and wander around, looking at the familiar gate, but never going in.
"Le Le, do you want to change your environment, leave here and go to a strange city?" Wang Xuan asked her.
If possible, he wanted to take her to the old land. Anyway, his parents were very free now, so he could leave her in their care.
The little girl hesitated, her eyes reddened, and said, "I can't bear to leave here. My father and mother are in the cemetery by the Zhou River outside the city. I want to visit them often."
Suddenly, a robot spoke up: "She is seriously ill. If she doesn't get special treatment, she won't live long."
Wang Xuanhuo raised his head and looked at them. The five robots were old and dilapidated, with a sense of vicissitudes of time. They seemed like travelers who had traveled through most of the universe. How could they understand these things and know about the Immortal Disease?
"Do you have any solution?" he asked proactively.
He has a "slow-acting medicine" for the five diseases of celestial beings, as well as the Earthly Immortal Spring, which should be able to prolong her life for a while, but it cannot cure her completely.
A robot with a broken arm nodded and said, "It can be treated conservatively, but it is troublesome and requires years of treatment. It is estimated that it can be cured before adulthood."
Wang Xuan was moved. In this world, all kinds of medical methods were ineffective, but these ancient robots from who knows what era actually had the means to cure immortal diseases.
"We can treat and adopt her." Another robot with a big hole in its chest spoke up. It had a human body, metal hair, and wooden hairpins, and looked a bit like a mechanical Taoist priest.
Wang Xuan looked at them. If they could cure him on the spot, he would definitely agree. These robots came from the depths of the universe with unknown identities, and they actually wanted to adopt Lele, which made him a little puzzled.
The robot with a broken arm spoke: "Although we have metal bodies, our hearts are not cold. We received a faint call signal, awakened from our slumber, and embarked on the road to return, just to find the old days."
Another robot added: "There was a person who also had this disease and died a long time ago. Seeing this child, we thought of her."
"Who is that person?" Wang Xuan asked. He was still a little worried. How could he believe their one-sided story?
"Our captain has been dead for many ages." A robot's chest glowed and a woman appeared as a projection was made directly here.
She looked very young, in her twenties, with beautiful long purple hair, bright eyes, and a pale face that lacked color, giving her a sickly pale beauty.
“Hundreds of years after she died, we found a cure for this disease.”
The following photos and images are not so beautiful. The celestial beings suffer from the five diseases of decay, and they lose their agility and beauty. Their bodies become deformed and they suffer all kinds of pain.
"Astronaut!" Wang Xuan saw that in some photos, her clothes were very similar to the "creepy-looking creature" he had seen, and she also raised mythical creatures as pets.
He was a little puzzled. This was the Immortal Disease, and the astronaut died from it?
"What era are you from and what are your origins?" Wang Xuan asked.
The robots remained silent and did not respond.
Until the end, one of them spoke up: "You just need to know that we are not a threat to you, and we have no ill intentions. Our people have gone far away, disappeared, and will never come back. We are the remnants of the team that fell behind. Our mothership was damaged on the way and has been dormant ever since. We came back just to pursue those familiar traces and relive an ancient memory."
Wang Xuan frowned. The identity of this mechanical life form was definitely not simple. According to what he knew, they had hunted innate gods and demons in the past!
Robot No. 5 once defined the immortals as innate gods and demons!
In fact, Robot No. 5 knew the third-generation owner of the Soul-Locking Bell. That bell should have been made in ancient times and was not made by a living immortal.
The robot with the broken arm said, "We met you purely by chance. We saw strange energy substances on you and even felt that you had some kind of weapon that could threaten us, so we followed you silently for a while."
Seeing his hesitation, the Taoist-like robot spoke up: "She was about to die. Do you think we would do anything to her?"
"Le Le, what do you think?" Wang Xuan looked at the little girl.
"I feel that they, like you, uncle, pity me and treat me very well. They have no bad intentions," said Lele.
"Okay!" Wang Xuan nodded.
In the setting sun, the little girl kept waving her hands with tears on her face. She sat on the shoulder of a robot, looking at Wang Xuan's receding back, unwilling to look away for a long time.
