Origin System, I have a barren mountain

After Lord Liu recovered, the old lady took him to her home for a temporary stay.

Because Lord Liu's arm was still wrapped in gauze and could not be exposed to the wind, the old lady specially arranged for him to stay on the second floor.

When Cheng Yunmo was staying at the hotel with the old lady, she heard the old lady mention that her family owned a separate small building.

The old lady's husband used to live here often, but he didn't come here frequently.

Unexpectedly, after coming here this time, she felt that the atmosphere of this small building was very different from what she expected.

She was able to emerge directly from the jade pendant in a very short time, but he no longer needed to stay inside.

Therefore, one can't help but feel curious about this small building.

"Cheng Yunmo, how is your injury, child?"

The old lady was carrying a sumptuous lunch and walking towards the sunlight, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Cheng Yunmo realized that at this moment, the old lady could see her.

"I'll take it, ma'am, thank you."

The old lady glanced at the building subconsciously, and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

“This building belongs to my old man. I never thought it would be of any help to you. I heard that this building used to be the courtyard of a national advisor, but somehow it ended up in my old man’s hands.”

Lord Liu opened the door and came out. Seeing the two people talking, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Excellent, Imperial Advisor! Could it be that you were once the Imperial Advisor of my Xu Kingdom?"

The old lady didn't know either, and shook her head blankly.

Cheng Yunmo was already hungry, but she still didn't forget to prepare fresh ingredients from her space for the old lady.

The old lady noticed that Cheng Yunmo gave her very good things.

With a place to stay, Cheng Yunmo was in a good mood. She spent several days inside the jade pendant, and whenever she was able to come out, she would go to find the old lady.

As it turned out, she was startled when she suddenly heard a noise at the front gate tonight.

Although it's still early, only eight o'clock, the sounds around us are strange, like something rustling as it passes by.

It was small at first, but now the sounds are getting more and more frequent.

Cheng Yunmo was now a spirit, and immediately floated away.

However, the scene he saw as he floated away made Cheng Yunmo wonder if he had gone to the wrong place.

One or two ant-like tentacles emerged directly from the ground, gathering together and heading nowhere.

Not only that, but in other places, in all the houses, it seems that these kinds of intelligent machines can appear from anywhere.

Cheng Yunmo stared blankly at the scene. She only knew that something big had happened in the town, but she never expected to see such a scene amidst such a major event.

Lord Liu was in his room. When he heard the noise, he was already wearing a thick coat and standing on the second floor. He could see the scene outside at a glance.

Cheng Yunmo flew directly to the second floor and saw Lord Liu staring out the window, looking thoughtful. He didn't seem like her, who knew nothing.

"Lord Liu, do you know why the town has become like this? I know the town has changed because of Empress Dowager Wuhua. But look at these machines now, I don't know why they've crawled out of the ground. It's almost illogical!"

Lady Liu knew that Lady Cheng was not a clever person, so when faced with these matters, she simply couldn't understand them with her simple mind.

He felt that ever since he learned that Xu Guo could come to this town, he thought that since the Empress Dowager could do this, it meant that other beings had also come to this town.

So, I told Lord Cheng about my speculations about this matter.

Cheng Yunmo paused for a moment, looking at Lord Liu with an incredulous expression.

Liu, who had been serving as the head palace maid by the Empress Dowager's side for a short time, surprisingly gained knowledge of many things.

Even someone as modern as her can't figure out what's going on right now.

However, Lord Liu was able to pinpoint his guess, and after listening to him, she felt it was very likely; she hadn't guessed it at all.

"But if what you're saying, Lord Liu, is true, and machines have developed intelligence, then what exactly do these things want to do?"

Lord Liu looked at Lord Cheng speechlessly. He thought Lord Cheng would use her brain a little, but she didn't use it at all and he had to think of everything for her.

"It must be because of the Empress Dowager. I remember when we first arrived, the old lady told us that a hole had been torn open in the sky and a lot of furniture had fallen down. The furniture was a machine that had become sentient. That means that as long as we find the Empress Dowager, everything will be clear."

Cheng Yunmo hadn't even considered the Empress Dowager. If she were to mention the Empress Dowager, she felt that the fact that she could seal off the Xu Kingdom so easily meant that the Empress Dowager still controlled a considerable amount of power, which was unknown to her.

Lord Liu was waiting for Lord Cheng to say that he was going back to see the Empress Dowager, but to his surprise, Lord Cheng refused to say so.

"... "

Cheng Yunmo wasn't stupid; he suddenly sensed that Lord Liu was very unhappy.

Cheng Yunmo felt embarrassed; people should have the instinct to recognize their own strengths and weaknesses.

However, after just one night, when everyone woke up, they found that everything around them had changed drastically.

One by one, new types of home appliances appeared, and these appliances appeared in all sorts of strange places.

Cheng Yunmo was asked by Lord Liu to go for a walk, so he wandered around the town alone.

Cheng Yunmo discovered that there were indeed quite a few refrigerators, televisions, and other electrical appliances, and these appliances could appear so casually on the main road.

It was as if they appeared out of nowhere, and when these pedestrians saw these appliances, they felt no surprise, only boundless fear.

Cheng Yunmo didn't dare touch the refrigerator at all. Instead, she stood behind a young man and was somewhat surprised to see him staring blankly at it.

So I stood next to him and watched, but to my surprise, the young man looked at the refrigerator with a very desperate look in his eyes.

Cheng Yunmo watched as the young man walked step by step toward the refrigerator, looking as if he was about to try to open it.

"Wait, you need to..."

The young man couldn't hear her voice at all and went straight to open the refrigerator door.

Cheng Yunmo immediately stepped forward to close the refrigerator, but unexpectedly, the refrigerator door, which the young man had suddenly opened, revealed a completely different scene inside.

In that instant, Cheng Yunmo was only stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the young man to go into the refrigerator as if he had lost his soul.

Cheng Yunmo grabbed the other person immediately, and it took her a lot of effort to finally pull the young man away.
