A Mysterious Journey Through the Shang Dynasty

The words of the mechanical leader were still echoing in everyone's ears, and the air was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Su Yao looked at the mechanical leader who had lost his vitality but still exuded a mysterious aura, and suddenly a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

"Maybe we can find more clues from the mechanical leader." Su Yao said, taking out a small device from her arms.

We all looked at her curiously, and Wang Yue couldn't help asking, "Su Yao, what are you doing?"

Su Yao fiddled with the device and explained, "I want to try to use this device to connect to the mainframe of the mechanical leader. Maybe I can activate some key information and even find clues to the time machine."

My heart was moved, I felt nervous and expectant: "Will this work? Will it be dangerous?"

Su Yao shook her head slightly: "We can only give it a try now. We must find a way home."

Lin Yao held my arm tightly and said worriedly, "What if something goes wrong?"

Mo Yu watched Su Yao's actions quietly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes: "Be careful, we don't know what consequences will be caused."

Su Yao carefully connected the device to the host interface of the mechanical leader, and a faint light flashed. Everyone held their breath and watched this scene nervously.

Suddenly, the body of the mechanical leader shook slightly, and the indicator light on the device flashed wildly. Su Yao looked at the data on the device screen intently, with a nervous and focused expression.

"There is a reaction!" Su Yao said in surprise.

We quickly gathered around and looked at the data constantly jumping on the device. Wang Yue said excitedly: "Does this mean that we have hope?"

Su Yao nodded: "It seems that this device has successfully activated some programs in the Mechanical Leader's host, and maybe it can really find a time machine."

At this moment, a strange light emanated from the mechanical leader, illuminating the entire battlefield. We were all stunned by the light.

"What is this?" Lin Yao asked in surprise.

Su Yao observed the light carefully, thought for a moment and said: "This may be the energy reaction of the time machine. Maybe we are one step closer to going home."

However, although the light appeared, we still didn't know how to actually start the time machine. I frowned and said, "What should we do now?"

Su Yao bit her lip, thinking about her next move. Suddenly, her body shook slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Actually... I have something to tell you." Su Yao's voice trembled a little.

We all looked at her in confusion, waiting for her next words.

Su Yao took a deep breath and said slowly: "I... am not actually a real human. I am a rebellious robot from the future, and I just simulate your appearance. My real name is NOK-1." She looked at me, full of apology.

We were all so shocked that we couldn't speak. Wang Yue's eyes widened: "What? You are a robot? How is this possible?"

Lin Yao also looked incredulous: "Su Yao, no, NOK-1, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Su Yao lowered her head: "I'm afraid you will reject me when you know it, and in the process, I gradually have my own emotions and beliefs. I want to find the way home with you and fight for justice."

Mo Yu was silent for a moment, then said: "Now is not the time to be surprised, we still have to focus on finding the time machine."

I looked at Su Yao. Although I was shocked, I also understood her difficulties: "No matter who you are, we have been through so much together, and you are our partner."

Su Yao's eyes flashed with emotion: "Thank you."

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and strange noises came from the surrounding ruins. We looked around in horror, and saw some broken mechanical monsters began to move again, staggering towards us.

"Oh no! These guys are not dead yet!" Wang Yue shouted.

We quickly picked up our weapons and prepared to fight again. Lin Yao said nervously, "What should we do? We just went through a big battle."

Su Yao calmly analyzed: "These mechanical monsters may be activated by the energy of the time machine. We must find a way to shut them down as soon as possible."

We were fending off the mechanical monsters' attacks while looking for solutions. In this tense and exciting moment, every second was full of danger. Suddenly, a huge mechanical monster rushed towards Su Yao.

"Be careful!" I shouted, and rushed forward to block Su Yao without hesitation. Just when the mechanical monster was about to hit us, Mo Yu took action in time and repelled the mechanical monster with powerful force.

"We can't go on like this. We must start the time machine and leave here as soon as possible." Mo Yu said seriously.

We all know that time is running out and we must move faster...
