"Well, thank you."

"No need to thank me, my master. Everything is my duty, and the last time you thanked me like this... um, I forgot, I just remember that you were still a child back then!"

"Oh, a child?"

"Yes! How wonderful it was back then, until you got used to me, it's been a long time since you thanked me... but it doesn't matter, my little master. Now it's just the two of us, let's enjoy the time we have left!"

At this point, the robot's eyes began to flicker slightly, and its gaze turned to Juxi's back.

"Is there something behind me?"

Juxi turned around and looked towards the balcony, but outside the window, there was still a deep forest, nothing special... What is that!?

Behind the forest was a towering mountain peak, and thick black smoke was rising in the sky, as if from some kind of explosion.

Everything happened too suddenly. Juxi hadn't figured out where he was, and now something went wrong so quickly.

But the smoke didn't seem to be very close. If he wanted to go there now...

Juxi suddenly thought of the little robot and asked, "Since we can be here now, you must have some transportation, right?"

The robot was very intelligent and immediately understood what he meant, "Of course, my master! I am the best means of transportation myself. As long as you have that intention, I can take you there in five minutes."

"Thank you so much." Juxi expressed his gratitude once again to the robot.

"No need to thank me, my master. I exist for your needs. I hope you can rely on me a little more, so that I have value in existing." The robot was surprisingly touched, all because Juxi needed it.

Come to the first floor, Juxi found that it was empty here. From the kitchen to the living room, there was nothing inside.

The front door of the house was open, and the robot didn't seem to worry about whether someone would suddenly walk in or if some animal would suddenly intrude.

"Master," the robot said, holding a bowl of hot porridge, "you should drink this first, don't wear yourself out. This is something we can only desire, but for you, it is something very important."

"Thank you for your con..."

Before Juxi finished thanking, the robot interrupted him, "I'm sorry, master, you're being too polite."

"Uh... okay." Juxi felt there was something wrong with himself, actually having high-end conversations with a robot.

After finishing the warm breakfast, Juxi couldn't wait to go outside his room. He didn't know how long it had been since he had breathed fresh air.

When he took his first deep breath, the smell... hmm?!

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!!!"

Juxi started coughing violently, his body reacting to the natural environment here.

Seeing Juxi in pain, the robot quickly put a breathing mask on him.

When Juxi felt a little more comfortable, the robot said in a remorseful tone, "I am ashamed of my sacred profession. As a creature meant to serve humans, I should not make such mistakes! I'm sorry, master, I forgot to remind you that you are not yet accustomed to the air here, and you still need to rely on this thing for some time."

"It's okay," Juxi waved his hand and said, "My body has never been better, at least it's the first time I feel alive... truly alive!"

As he spoke, Juxi gently touched his chest, breathing evenly and savoring the taste of the air.

Guided by the robot, Juxi sat on a small cart, letting it carry him through the dense jungle.

Until now, Juxi still hadn't figured out where he was. It didn't look like his own world.

Because... when they passed by a beach, Juxi suddenly noticed that the sea water here was actually colorful, like wriggling crystals. It made him wonder if he would see nothing if he jumped in.

Juxi felt like a newborn baby, full of curiosity about this world, suddenly appearing here.

However, there was a subtle feeling, which was memory!

He still remembered many things in his mind, but there were too many of them, making it difficult for Juxi to sort them all out for a while.

But one thing he knew, the person in front of him was the truest self.

Soon, the robot brought him to the top of a nearby mountain.

Juxi took off his mask and exhaled a breath of foul air, saying, "Ah... the wind here... feels so comfortable."

The robot quietly stood by his side, together they gazed at the distant black mist.

From here, you could see quite far, but the other side of the mountain was still a colorful coastline. The mountain was almost surrounded by the sea, like a small peninsula.

What surprised him even more was that there was a huge object parked by the sea!

Juxi tapped the robot, instructing it to take him there quickly.

So, the black smoke was emitted by this thing! Juxi was astonished. What exactly was it?

To find out the answers to these questions, they had to enter the spaceship.

The robot's flight was very stable, and it took less than a minute to reach the cabin door of the spaceship.

It was clear that the spaceship intentionally docked here, rather than crashing due to an accident.

When Juxi just entered the spaceship, a terrible smell immediately entered his nostrils.

The cabin was filled with a foul odor, creating a sense of foreboding in Juxi, making him hesitate to go in.

"Don't worry, Master!"

After saying that, the robot immediately entered the spaceship and brought back a large bag of cheese from nearby.

"It's just expired cheese causing the smell. I'll throw them away."

"Okay, thank... let's go inside first."

Juxi fanned in front of his nose and followed the robot inside.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Juxi felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if he had been here before.

"Wait!" He immediately stopped the robot and asked, "Why do I feel like we've been here before?"

The robot seemed puzzled by Juxi's words, but it calmly explained, "Of course you've been here, and we came here together on the spaceship."

"Together? Really?"

Juxi couldn't believe it no matter what because it meant admitting that he was not a resident here, but an invader!

But one thing he was now absolutely certain of was that he was more sober now than at any other time, and there was nothing strange about the world in front of his eyes...

"No no no, I need to calm down now... Let me ask you, am I dreaming or not? My consciousness will tell you that I am dreaming!"

He felt like he was about to go crazy now, and the cause of his madness was his own memory!

Perhaps in a few years, his memories would still be preserved within his vision, but it was clear that it no longer belonged to him.

Juxi looked in the dusty restroom mirror and saw that his face was somewhat pale, everything seemed not to be himself!

But the undeniable fact was that the man in the mirror was too familiar... it was Juxi himself.

Blinking at the mirror, Juxi could only finally walk out of the cramped restroom, and the robot handed him a towel to wipe his hands.

"No need, I haven't used the bathroom, no need to wash my hands."

"Of course you can do that, sir! But my program tells me that you will definitely need it when you come out of that place."

"......"

"Well then, sir, shall I take you to your room?"

"My room?"

"Yes... but to be precise, it is the place where you rest."

"......"

Juxi was truly speechless, this robot seemed to have some glitches, sometimes speaking very haltingly.

After tapping the robot's head, Juxi found that it seemed to have no reaction at all.

After some thought, Juxi fiercely slapped its forehead, finally making it fully responsive.

"Um, please forgive my inappropriate wording, because I haven't updated my vocabulary in a long time, even the patches I applied myself, so... I actually don't exist, you know, my seemingly complex program is no different from a potato."

"Let's assume what you said is true, then take me to see my resting place!"

"Of course it's true, sir, please follow me this way..."

"By the way, can I go and see that room over there?"

"Unfortunately, that is not possible, it is our rule that we cannot enter someone else's room, and it is the same for you, sir."

After being lectured by the robot, Juxi could only obediently comply.

The interior of the cabin was not very complicated, but everything was quite complete, there were even small TVs, pool tables, and other recreational facilities. The only flaw was...

After staying for a long time, even Juxi himself felt particularly oppressed.

Because the interior of the spaceship was so dilapidated, Juxi had been on edge the whole time, afraid that touching anything would cause a disaster!

After a long time had passed, the robot finally stopped in front of a room.

"Here!"

The robot pointed at the door of the room and said, "My dear sir, this is your room, the place where you once slept."

"Is that so?" Juxi suddenly couldn't wait, "Then hurry up and open the room, I want to take a good look at the place where we used to live."

"Master, although you may not know what happened in between, I can sincerely tell you that I have been guarding by your side day and night for the past ten thousand years, afraid that you would leave me forever in the next second." The robot choked up and said.
