Robot K

Seeing that she had almost rested, Kristen called the waiter to pay the bill, and the little girl hurried over, then smiled apologetically, as if she was embarrassed for not answering the question just now.

Hailey asked about the situation of the mansion in the ancient city, and the little girl immediately regained her vivacity, introduced it enthusiastically, and recommended a house that was said to be in good condition.

After paying the money and thanking them, they went out and boarded the car, heading towards an ancient house recommended by the little girl.

"Hailey, we've seen this house, so let's leave the ancient city and don't spend the night here."

"Why, do you think it's dangerous?" Hailey turned to look at her.

"Well, this place should be completely controlled by people. All the camera devices on the street are transmitted to a server, and our every move is monitored." She wasn't worried about any danger, but it was troublesome.

"Okay, listen to you." Kristen rarely expressed opinions, but whenever she said, Hailey would listen.

The two came to the gate of the ancient house. There is no need for tickets here, only identity registration is required. Hailey enters her and Kristen's identity information into the screen at the door, which shows that the identity verification is successful.

Kristen's identity was forged with the help of Caesar. There are real records of everything from birth, education, work, and even medical treatment. Unless it is another super artificial intelligence robot, no one can recognize these forged traces.

The two strolled in the old house, the wide green brick road, high courtyard walls, deep courtyards, lush flowers and trees, quiet and deep, with a gloomy feeling.

Except for the two of them, I didn't see other tourists, or the ancient city had few tourists, and the locals had long been no longer interested in visiting these houses.

"K, have you noticed that the traces of life here seem to have been cleaned up." After walking halfway, Hailey approached Kristen and said softly.

"Well, some places should be renovated." Kristen took Hailey's hand and let her walk next to him.

"Oh, then the meaning of the old house will be lost." Hailey said with a little regret.

Kristen didn't respond, but pulled her into a side alley quickly, then stood still against the wall. Hailey didn't struggle, but followed her closely.

"What's wrong?" Hailey whispered in her ear.

"Something just passed by here, with a metal shell, and it moved very quickly." Kristen also leaned closer to her ear and said.

Even though Kristen didn't get hot when he spoke, Hailey still felt itchy ears, Kristen's voice was charming.

"Is it a robot?"

"should be."

"Probably a robot hiding here."

"A robot that knows how to hide is no ordinary robot." Kristen looked at the corner not far away, as if talking to himself.

"How to do?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't hurt us."

"I want to keep going, okay?" Hailey didn't want to give up on the plan.

"Of course, follow me." Kristen pulled her out of the corner of the alley, where she saw a reflection of metal just now.She looked around carefully, and found a small scratch on the corner of the wall, like an arrow.

The two looked at each other, then walked in the direction of the arrow.Walking around in all directions, there will always be some kind of traces in the right place to guide them.

Finally, we came to a very remote courtyard, which looked like a ancestral hall.Walked into the house, it was very clean, no dust.The room is not too big, and it is clear at a glance. There are a few shelves in the middle, and there are more than a dozen memorial tablets scattered here and there.

Hailey bowed in front of the memorial tablet, and said softly, "Excuse me." Then she heard Kristen say, "Come out."

There was no movement, Hailey looked at Kristen suspiciously, Kristen nodded at her, took her hand, and said, "I saw you, under the shelf."

After a few seconds, there was a click, and a round head protruded from under the shelf, the gloom flashed at the two of them, and then the whole body came out.It's a small robot, about less than one meter long, with a metal shell, a bit like K, a typical household robot.

The two sides looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Why did you find me hiding under the table?" The round-headed little guy made a mechanical voice.

"I scan with infrared." Kristen shook the tiny optical brain on her wrist, which she used to hide her identity.

"So it's like this. I thought you were a robot, but scanning your body is not." Although the little guy's voice was mechanical, his language was very coherent.

"Why are you hiding here? You led us here?" Hailey bent down and looked at her with a smile.

The little guy shook his head, the dim light screen flickered quickly, and before he could speak, Kristen pulled Hailey over and stood in the middle, looking at the little robot.

The little robot quickly calmed down, looked up at Hailey, then at Kristen, as if deciding who to speak to. Hailey thought Kristen was protecting her, so he patted her on the cheek and signaled her to take it easy.In fact, she didn't know that Kristen was not afraid that she would be in any danger, because she knew that the emotions of the little robot were expressions of excitement, nervousness, and liking.

"Qiu asked me to hide here. She is my master. I haven't seen her for a long time. When I saw you, I wanted you to come here. There is no surveillance here. Can you send a message to Qiu? I can't contact Her." The little robot said skillfully.

"What's your name, why are you hiding? Is it safe here? Can you tell me more about the situation here? We are not from here." Hailey asked softly.

"My name is Alex, I know you are not from here, and I have a familiar feeling about her, you should have robots, so I asked you to come here, it is like this."

After speaking, the little robot released a projection and played a few clips quickly, and the two of them probably sorted out the context of the matter.Things are complicated here, simply put, one guy took all the robots, said reloading first, but none of the robots were returned to the owner.

Qiu is a young woman in her 20s, very beautiful and capable.She hid Alex at home from the beginning and didn't go back to the factory, because she didn't want her robot to lose its memory.The later situation made her even more afraid to hand over the robot, but the surveillance on the street was too dense, so she was afraid that the situation would be exposed, so she secretly hid the robot here.

This ancestral hall is the ancestral hall of a big man, there is no monitoring, and few people come.

"Why did that person take all the robots, do you know?" Hailey asked again, and she found that Kristen didn't respond to what Alex said.

"I'm not very clear either. I seem to be looking for something. Qiu knows something, so she left me here."

"What message do you want us to pass on to Qiu, and where can we find her?"

"Well, let's just say what she asked me to do, and I did it." After saying this, the little robot lowered its head, squeezed its mechanical fingers, and said in a low voice: "Also, I miss her, when can I take me back? "

Kristen rolled her eyes when she heard this, but her expression seemed relaxed. Hailey couldn't help laughing when she finally reacted.The little robot thought he was laughing at him, and was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, Alex, I'm not laughing at you, I'll bring these words to tell us where Qiu is?" She decided to do Alex this favor, because it reminded her of the former K, did she also hope that she could protect Qiu? Ta, will he miss himself too.

Alex projected a map, then pointed to a house and said, "This is our home. She has been here before. I don't know what's going on now?" His voice was worried and sad.

Kristen raised the miniature optical brain, scanned the little robot, and said, "I have set up a call channel, and I will send you any news."

"Won't be discovered?" The little robot looked up and asked. The reason why Ta dare not contact Qiu is also because all communications in the ancient city are also being monitored.

"No, this is a special encrypted channel, they can't break it." Hailey explained simply, she naturally wouldn't say that to break the communication band set by Kristen, a super artificial intelligence robot, probably only Caesar can do it now.

"Thank you. This is for you." The little robot stretched out its mechanical hand, and there was something like a bloodstone inside.

"What's this?" Hailey reached out and took it.

"It's a power stone. When I don't have energy blocks and I can't go out to absorb solar energy, I use them to replenish energy. You can take your robot with you," Alex explained.

"What will you do if you give it to us?"

"There's more in the basement."

"You found it?"

"Well, there is a basement just under the main house in front."

"Then you keep it, there was a risk of being discovered in the past." Hailey was going to return the small stone to Alex, because Kristen's energy can last for a long time, and it can be replenished by absorbing solar energy at any time.

At this time, Kristen reached out and took the energy stone, and then took out an energy block from the backpack, in fact, from the folding space and handed it to the little robot, saying lightly: "This is for you, enough for you for a long time." Her Energy blocks are all highly compressed, hundreds of times worth of ordinary energy blocks.

The little robot seemed to know that it was a good product, thanked him, and immediately inserted the energy block into the groove, and then the Youguang screen happily spun around.

Hailey watched Kristen put the bloodstone-like thing into the backpack, and didn't say much, she knew that Kristen must have her own reasons.

The two said goodbye to the little robot Alex, and Hailey told Ta to hide it and wait for their news.Then they left the old house and drove away.
