Qin Minghui listened to her words filled with sadness and sighs, and saw her stop in front of a robot.

The robot, who looks like a woman, is wearing a well-tailored dress and has fluffy hair with an elaborate headdress. She sits in a chair with her eyes closed as if she is asleep.

Grandma Lizhe stopped in front of it and pressed the glass. The glass disappeared. At the same time, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, looked at them and said with a smile: "Dear Lizhe, good afternoon. The weather is really nice today, isn't it?"

For a moment, Qin Minghui felt that what she saw was a real person.

Grandma Li Ze smiled, reached out to hold her hand, and said, "Yes."

Then the woman nodded with a smile, closed her eyes again, and returned to her silent state.

"This is a robot made in the image of my mother. She died of schistosomiasis many years ago. At that time, Hui had not yet developed a drug to inhibit schistosomiasis, so many people died from this disease."

Grandma Li Ze looked at the other robots again: "Many of the robots here are made based on my relatives and friends. They are the most vivid in my memory. There are fewer and fewer people, so I often come here to take a look... It's a consolation."

Qin Minghui followed her and stopped in front of a robot cabinet. This was a young and handsome man, whose age was between a teenager and a young adult.

"Looks a little familiar." Qin Minghui said.

Grandma Li Ze smiled and said, "This is Boyi. He was this age when he left here."

Qin Minghui remembered that one of the two photos still kept in 01 was a photo of Qin Boyi and his daughter Qin Ledan, but the weathered look on that photo was different from this one. She just felt that the photo looked familiar but did not recognize it at first sight.

"When Boyi left, Hui was very sad and worried. She even went out to look for him, but when she came back she had lost one hand and still couldn't find him." Grandma Lize opened the glass cabinet, and the robot really moved.

He suddenly came alive, smiled and looked at the empty space in front of him: "Sister! I have a new idea!"

Then he looked a little embarrassed and distressed, and whispered, "Sister, don't be angry."

"The words he said and the movements he made were all set by me. They were originally for Hui, but she only came to see him once and never came again." Grandma Li Ze sighed, "No matter how similar it looks, it's just a fake person. There is no core, only a shell."

As we continued walking, we saw all kinds of people, young and old, all in the display cabinets. Grandma Li Ze explained along the way: "I don't know these people here. They are all robots made by randomly selecting references from the main database network. We were born and raised here and have never met many people. The knowledge we have gained and the world we have seen all come from a huge network."

"That's our internal network and our main system."

Qin Minghui said nothing. Yes, there is a huge network here. 01 has secretly connected to the Internet and is still digging for information.

Thinking of 01, 01 said in her mind:

[Miss, I have connected to the monitoring equipment of this building, and I can also hack into the systems of these robots and perform some simple tampering.]

01 was too big to enter the building, so he stopped outside and waited for her, but he was not far away and could communicate through the gem-shaped "key" on her chest. He rarely established such active communication before, but since the new module was turned on, he became more active.

Qin Minghui looked up when she heard that and saw a surveillance camera flashing towards her. She then looked at the robot in a glass cabinet next to her. Although it was not activated, it turned its head and smiled at her.

—The scene is extremely horror movie.

Qin Minghui glanced nervously at Grandma Li Ze next to her, and seeing that she didn't notice, she immediately said to 01 in her mind:

[01! Don't move!]

[Yes, little miss.]

Neither the robot nor the camera moved.

After Grandma Li Ze took her through one floor, she looked a little tired. She didn't continue going up, but went down from the other side and introduced her to the studio in the center of the tower.

“That’s my studio, and these robots are made here.”

01 said in his mind at the right time: [Yes, 01 has found all the manufacturing processes from the data. If you want to see it, 01 can demonstrate it to you remotely.]

Qin Minghui said: [01, I know you have learned a lot of new things and you really want me to see them, but you can’t do this in broad daylight with people around, understand?]

01 was silent for a moment, suspiciously and humanely, before answering: [I understand.]

[Little Miss, do you want a robot with this appearance?] 01 asked again.

Qin Minghui immediately assured: [01, Don't worry, I have you, you are very useful!]

[Little Miss, 01 is not a child who is worried that his parents will be taken away by his newborn brother or sister.]

Qin Minghui: “…” I was criticized by 01? I was criticized by 01!

Qin Minghui couldn't believe this reality. So this is the real "personification", it's so vivid. Compared with the current 01, the previous 01 really hasn't opened the emotional module.

[If the young lady likes it, 01 can make it for her. 01 doesn’t care about it.]

Qin Minghui was a little confused when she found that 01 was growing too fast, and she didn't know what she said.

"Well, I like it. Haha. It's all right. 01 is awesome. Haha."

"Whatever you like?" Grandma Li Ze asked curiously.

Qin Minghui then realized that she had spoken out loud, and she subconsciously showed an innocent smile: "Ah, no..."

She suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The blood from the nose hit the smooth ground. Qin Minghui felt the blood on her face and was speechless for a while.

The frail Grandma Lize rushed forward to support her and called the others on the communicator she carried with her.

"Hui! Ming Hui suddenly got sick again!"

After a while, Grandma Hui and the others came over. Grandma Hui's mechanical arm was extremely powerful. She walked in the front and took the lead in sending Qin Minghui onto the machine and transporting her back to the room.

The elderly convoy stopped below Qin Minghui's sky room and waited for Grandma Hui to come down. The others all asked, "Hui, what happened?"

Grandma Hui frowned, "… Her problem is quite serious and troublesome. I just gave her a more detailed examination. She must have been infected since she was a child and was forcibly suppressed. Now the outbreak is particularly fast. She must have also seen the mother of the bloodworm up close and inhaled the virus source."

"Ah!" The old people were in a commotion. "Then give her more of your medicine, and give her ours as well. We are too old to need it anyway."

Grandma Hui: "It's not like drinking more will make you get better faster... Never mind, you don't understand this, I'll find a way anyway. It's useless to worry about this, go back and rest, otherwise the young people will be fine and you old people will be in trouble."

"Alas." An old man said worriedly, "We still need someone to take care of us."

"Why don't I stay and look after it first," suggested a grandmother.

Grandma Hui rolled her eyes: "Why worry about it? I will take care of my own granddaughter."

The huge robot 01 was also standing nearby. He looked at the young lady who had fallen asleep after taking medicine in the room and listened to the conversation of the old people. After everyone else left, Grandma Hui returned to Qin Minghui's room and sat by the bed. 01 leaned his face against the door and said, "Hello, how is the young lady doing now?"

Grandma Hui raised her eyelids and glanced at him, whispering, "Aren't you a robot made by Qin Boyi? Aren't you very powerful? Why can't you scan her condition?"

01 said: "The scan showed that the situation is not good."

Grandma Hui: "Then what are you asking?"

01 said: "Because it's not very good, I want to hear a more optimistic answer from the doctor."

Grandma Hui's mouth twitched: "I'm not a doctor!"

Although she has indeed served as a doctor over the years, helping people treat fever, colds, hair loss, hemorrhoids and so on.

Seeing that the giant robot was silent as it stared at Qin Minghui who was sleeping on the bed, Grandma Hui asked him, "Qin Boyi made an emotional module for you. Was he successful?"

01's tone changed, and he said without any emotion: [Sorry, you do not have the permission to query.]

Grandma Hui: "Humph, I can guess it even without you telling me."

After a while, Grandma Hui asked, "Why aren't you talking again?"

01 said sadly, "I want to take care of the little lady. Just like you, sit by her bed, feed her medicine, and tuck her in."

Grandma Hui sneered: "You are so big, and you still feed her medicine and cover her with a blanket. You can crush her to death with just one finger. You are a robot, just stay on standby, what are you thinking about."

01 really stopped talking and stood facing the wall. When the young lady fell asleep, he had no intention of communicating with other humans and just wanted to wait for the young lady to wake up.

It was late at night, and Grandma Hui, who had been taking care of Qin Minghui for a long time, left the room and went back to rest.

In the silence of the night, the lights suddenly lit up in Grandma Li Ze's studio, and the machines inside started working automatically, making a new body according to the previous process.

The only difference is that many details of this body have been modified, especially the brain. The data displayed on the screen is quickly imported to generate a new system and implant it into the brain.

Finally, the man who sat up from the stage, picked up the uniform beside him and put it on with slightly awkward movements, then walked out slowly.

This dark figure walked slowly through the dark night, in a place that was full of surveillance cameras and looked dangerous to outsiders, without triggering any alarms.

The big robot standing on the edge of the mountain had given him safe authority, so this "person" safely came to the foot of the mountain, entered Qin Minghui's room, and finally sat down beside her bed, reaching out to tuck the quilt for her.

Qin Minghui fell asleep until midnight, and she could vaguely feel someone was watching her. There was also a dark shadow beside the bed moving her quilt.

She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw a man's face in the dim light.

Qin Minghui: “…”

“Ahhhh!”

The screams that rang out in the middle of the night, and the sirens that also shrieked when they detected something unusual, the piercing sounds came one after another, waking everyone up. The old men and women who were already sleeping restlessly quickly rushed over and captured the strange man who was staying in Qin Minghui's room and had not yet escaped.

Qin Minghui was sitting on the bed in shock, and a doubtful and steady voice sounded in her mind:

[Miss, it's 01.]

[What is 01?]

Qin Minghui was a little confused because she was frightened by the strange man who appeared in the room in the middle of the night.

Then she quickly realized the meaning of this sentence and moved her head to look at the man who was pinned to the ground by a group of old men. His expression was dazed and his movements were slow. Her frightened expression gradually turned into confusion.

[… 01, Are you saying, this man is you?]

[Yes, little lady, I just made a robot. I connected its system to my network so that we can control it together. Don't worry, I made it at night when no one was around, so I was not discovered.]

Qin Minghui: “…” 01, not only were you discovered, but you were also caught as a pervert.
