CH 174

Droid three watched the clock keep swinging as it slowly approached ten o’clock.

When it was only ten minutes away from ten o’clock, he began to move toward Bai Lixin’s room.

A loud bang outside the square stopped Droid Three in his tracks.

Through the window, he saw the white painted robot that had escaped earlier, rushing in with a mini cannon on its shoulder. Trailing behind were Graverson and Zero, with a tattered mechanical body in Zero’s hand.

The third took a closer look and saw that it was Zeus’ body.

His mind raced as he quickened his pace and headed for Bai Lixin’s room as he cursed.

He kicked the door open and pulled the dazed Bai Lixin, who was leaning against the bed, up into the crook of his arm and said, “Behave yourself and I won’t hurt you.”

As soon as he left the room with the hostage, he collided head-on with the oncoming Ghar and the others.

Bai Lixin’s eyes lit up at the sight of the triumphant Ghar. Not caring about the vice grip around his neck, he said joyfully, “Ghar!”

Ghar came up to him, alarmed at the sight of the tightly restrained Bai Lixin. He looked at the third with a fierce look in his eyes, “Number three, you’ve made the worst choice again.”

With a dry laugh, droid three led Bai Lixin backwards, “You don’t need to bluff, Ghar. With the slight force of my hand, this fragile human will lose his life. If you want him to live, you’ll have to let me go. ” With that, his arms slowly contracted, squeezing Bai Lixin’s neck.

[Ding! Warning, warning! It has been detected that Lord Host is having difficulty breathing and is under serious threat. The system will automatically use 100-dimensional points to heal the host!]

In his mind, S419M’s voice rang out after a long time. Bai Lixin’s heart was overjoyed and his mind was spinning rapidly, already understanding what had happened.

The system would automatically enter a dormant state when it encountered a false god, and unless the false god left or disappeared, it would definitely not activate!

In that case, the false god must be already dead!

Bai Lixin laughed as he saw the mechanical body that was flung behind Ghar. Indeed, Zeus was the false god. Now that the false god is dead, what is he still afraid of? He did not act rashly when Droid three restrained him because he wasn’t sure who the false god was, in case he killed the false god by mistake, causing his soul to leave the world and rush off to report the news.

Ghar became nervous when he saw Bai Lixin’s face suddenly turn pale, wishing he could take his place in his inexplicable pain.

Ghar nodded and was about to agree to the third when he heard Bai Lixin suddenly sneer, “Let you go? I don’t think you’ll be able to leave today! ”

A crimson light streaked through the air, and before the third could even react, he was sliced into two pieces by the waist! Encased under the simulated skin was the mechanical spine and the internal system made up of machinery that was now crackling with electricity because the links were cut.

With a flick of his arm, Bai Lixin casually broke the arm around his neck. With his lightsaber in hand, he looked at the fallen droid three with a cold glint.

Droid three looked up at the lightsaber in Bai Lixin’s hand in shock, and his memory chip ran quickly, finding the lightsaber’s information in a flash: “Thor!”

With a shriek, the third flipped over with only one intact arm left, slowly dragging half of his body towards the front and crawling away in escape.

Bai Lixin looked down at the No. 3 condescendingly and stabbed into the head where the memory chip was placed. The light sabre’s heat instantly burned the memory chip to powder.

Droid three shuddered like he was short-circuited and twisted for a while, then slowly stopped moving.

After easily finishing off Droid three, Bai Lixin pulled the lightsaber back and then put it away before jumping into Gale’s arms: “You’re back!”

Ghar smiled and stroked Bai Lixin’s hair, smiling gently, “En, I’m back. Zeus is dead.”

“I can see that,” Bai Lixin arched his head in Ghar’s arms, “Come on, tell me how. He didn’t even seem to send out a distress signal. ”

“He had it coming. The signal jammer was placed by his order when we arrived. I simply gave him a less painful blow, quickly crushing his memory chip and ending his life. ”

Bai Lixin smiled, “Ghar, you are so kind.”

Graverson:”… ”

From which dictionary did you your definition of the word “kind”? You can’t be so blind in your worship, can you?

Zeus had placed a control device on the back of all the robots’ necks to control and change their minds, and Ghar was no exception.

He released Bai Lixin and closed his eyes. A piece of metal the size of a green pea was slowly expelled from the back of his neck and fell to the ground. As soon as it fell to the ground, Bai Lixin quickly stomped on it like a bedbug without mercy.

Ghar chuckled.

With the death of the two droid heads, the droid army was left without a leader. They saw all the droids start to gather in the direction of the square. The droids seemed to have lost their will to fight; they were pulled by something and emerged from everywhere, densely packed, out of the square and moving in unison in one direction.

Bai Lixin was surprised, “What’s happening to them?”

“It’s Dr. Manskoo……,” Ghar whispered as he narrowed his eyes. “He was turned into a signal and channelled into a computer, and has been imprisoned in a secret room ever since. I rescued him yesterday and dropped him into the network. Just as we came in, Dr. Manskoo connected to me and said that he had gathered all the robots involved in this robot war and was planning to leave. ”

“Leave? To where? ”

Saga, who had followed the President for many years, slowly passed by them. He took one look at the room where the President was being held, put his hand against the door and whispered “I’m sorry” and left as well.

“To probably find the robot’s true future.” Ghar smiled, “Robots aren’t as good as humans used to think, but they’re not as bad as they seem to be either. They’re just searching for a piece of truth in their existence.”

Bai Lixin let out an “mm,” “Bless them.”

The matter quietly ended with the withdrawal of the robot army, and Bai Lixin rescued the President. The moment the President emerged from the room where he had been imprisoned, he was in a trance for a moment before he hugged Bai Lixin and cried.

Helium had lost much of its vitality with the robot’s uprising. But as long as there were people left, the planet would not perish. Fortunately, the humans were not harmed during the three-month-long nightmare of captivity.

The robots were no more, but the people were still there.

For too long, humans had unconditionally trusted robots, but humans did not trust humans themselves.

Deceptions, fights, attacks; all these painful things made humans more willing to live with robots.

But with this protracted robot war, with their lives on the line, they began to introspect.

The long river of life is endless, and time is the beginning of life.

A few years later, the advanced technology on Helium was no more, but the planet still stood and radiated life again. They still use mechanical items but no longer dare to explore with abandon.

In the past, with the promotion of robots, there was enough of a social labour force that humans did not focus on reproduction at all. They only lived in mechanical cities that occupied a thousandth of the planet’s area, but they were beginning to focus on the humanities.

A hundred years later, a traveller entered the mechanical city and told of the legends he had seen along the way. He told the crowd about a group of robots living in a mysterious part of the planet. At that time, he fell into a coma due to a lack of water in his body. When he woke up, he was surrounded by a swarm of robots.

The robots fed him water, gave him food, and sent him away only when he regained his vitality.

The traveller told the crowd that the robots are like humans, with independent minds, and that they have even formed families, living in harmony and friendship.

Curious people wanted to explore, but they searched all corners of Helium and found no signs of the droids.

Of course, this was all an afterthought.

After being rescued, the President discovered that the teenager in front of him was indeed his grandson after much verification. But that his son had passed away ten years in exile because of a cancerous affliction.

The president, who had always been known as a man of iron, once again shed tears of regret when he found out that his son had passed away due to illness.

Even if he regretted it, what had happened had already happened and could never be undone. That was the price he had to pay for promoting robots so much.

The President intended to keep Bai Lixin with him and groom him as his future successor, but Bai Lixin was not interested. He politely declined to return.

On the flight back, Graverson slapped the handle of his chair and said, “You’re a future successor to the Empire. Why won’t you stay on Helium and instead follow me back to a garbage planet?”

The flight path had been set to auto-piloting, and Bai Lixin, nestled in Ghar’s arms, said, “Who said I was following you? This aircraft is Bai Lixin, not Graverson. ”

“What did you say when we set foot on Helium? That you’ve given me the aircraft, and I can fly it back.”

“But you didn’t go back then, so the aircraft’s name is still under Bai Lixin. Hahaha!”

Graverson did not want to talk to Bai Lixin anymore, only rolling his eyes at him.
