Juxi feels that he is becoming more and more unfamiliar with it, but it's just a robot, and in the end, it played itself.

"Um, by the way... Is Yu Nai's robot called Mei?"

Juxi suddenly remembered the joke just now, and asked again, "Every robot has a name, so you should have your own name too, right?"

Hearing Juxi mention a name, the robot became confused: "A name... that is a treasure exclusive to the owners, we are not deserving of it."

"But you mentioned Mei earlier..."

Before Juxi could finish speaking, the robot interrupted him: "Those were just temporary code names I made up. In fact, I am responsible for both you and Miss Yu Nai."

"...Well, let's just say that was a stupid code name. Even a fictional robot has the name Xiaomei, so why don't you have one?" Juxi continued to persist, wanting to know what the robot's name actually was.

Finally, the robot put down the kitchen knife and entered angry mode: "Master, I am a principled robot! We robots absolutely do not have names. Those things are merely code names that allow us to communicate better with our owners!"

"Oh my god!"

Juxi was on the verge of fainting from exasperation.

Speaking of which, what is the difference between a code name and a name?

Always referring to the robot as a robot, no matter how Juxi called it, it felt strange in his heart. There had to be a name that could be used.

"Anyway, you need a name I can call you by, right? Of course, if you want to stick with the code name, that's fine too. Everyone has code names like Xiaomei, Xiaoming, so you should have a variation too, right?"

"Xiao Hai, that's how you used to call me, Master. If you still like this code name, you can continue calling me that."

"Xiao Hai... then let's go with that. I'll still call you Xiao Hai, just like before."

"Thank you for your understanding, Master. I also like the name Xiao Hai."

"Do you like it because the name has some deep meaning?"

"Well, it's because you gave it to me, Master. It's the only thing I possess. Everything else... including my body... is..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Juxi was about to lose it.

He didn't know what the deal was with this robot, talking in circles.

Juxi just wanted to find his own kind quickly. Speaking of being alone, Juxi looked at the robot next to him and wondered if it could be considered a person.

Although he didn't know if it counted as a person, Juxi knew it was much more capable of stirring things up than humans.

Especially after the recent commotion, Juxi didn't want to be idle: "Xiao Hai, I want to go out for a walk now. Can you take me around the area?"

As soon as Xiao Hai saw that Juxi intended to go out again, he immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Master, you can't leave here for the time being!"

"Why?" Juxi asked, puzzled.

"Master, it's too dangerous outside, and your health isn't very good. If something were to happen, I would have no purpose either." Xiao Hai explained immediately, while also blocking the way out.

The outside of the room was an unknown world, and Juxi had no basic understanding of such a world. Xiao Hai was considering his well-being.

"Master, it would be fine if it were daytime, but it is already nighttime, so it's better not to go out." Xiao Hai always refused to let Juxi go out, and Juxi also knew that if he really forced himself to leave here, he would probably end up trapped in the mountains.

Don't believe it? The moonlight in this world is dim, and the forest is even more deep and bottomless. Once Juxi enters, he may never come back out.

Besides, the room is warm and safe right now. It would be foolish to leave here no matter how you think about it.

After careful consideration, Juxi still chose to return to his room. He didn't want to run around right now, as there is indeed the possibility of danger outside.

After returning to his bed, Juxi thought of something and turned around to go turn on the light.

At this moment, Xiao Hai came upstairs in time and quickly used its pincers to clamp Juxi's outstretched hand.

"Master, the light will attract some dangerous animals, so it's better not to turn it on."

"..."

"I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to solve this problem, but I didn't pay attention to these details because I know the master won't stay here for long."

"It's okay, I'm already tired. Let's just sleep like this for today."

"Okay then."

"..."

"By the way, for the sake of the master's safety, I'll close the windows to prevent any unexpected situation."

"Okay, do everything according to your plan. I'm going to sleep."

Juxi didn't want to meddle in other matters anymore and just lay down to sleep.

This sleep was different from before. Even he himself didn't know why, but no matter what, he felt that he couldn't fall into a peaceful sleep.

If he really had to search for other people tomorrow, would Xiao Hai really have a way? Juxi felt anxious in his heart.

He tossed and turned in bed, and his pillow was even more wrinkled.

Maybe it was because he was about to see other people, Juxi was excited, or maybe it was his longing for the new world that made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

In the end, it was probably because he had slept too long during the day. He really couldn't fall asleep anymore and could only wait for the first rays of sunlight in the morning.

Perhaps hearing Juxi's sigh, Xiao Hai pushed the door open and walked in, its eyes wandering as it said, "Master, can't sleep?"

"So many years have passed..." Juxi couldn't help but sigh, "My dream has completely awakened, and the people who occasionally appear in my dream, the people I care about, I see them leave me time and time again, even..."

"Master can rest assured that although they may not have any dream connection with the master, they will never forget about the master." Xiao Hai reassured him.

"I hope so! I'm just a bit worried. I'm afraid I'm still in a dream and don't know anything." Juxi still felt like he was going insane and wished he could end his life right now.

If he really disappeared... well, he might truly die without a trace.

"Hey Xiao Hai, have I really been asleep for over ten thousand years?"

"No."

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not. Although I said it was ten thousand years, you have actually slept for a little over three years and seven months, a little over ten thousand years."

"... Have I really lived for so long? What happened in between..."

"You were being taken care of by Mother during that time. She is the ruler of all of us robots. She saved humanity and gave you this long dream."

"Mom?"

Juxi had no idea what this "mom" was, but it was not hard to hear from Xiaohai's words that this "mom" must be a great person, and also a robot!

"I think the owner may have misunderstood, Mom is not a robot."

Xiaohai denied Juxi's idea, which surprised Juxi.

But if it's not a robot, how did this mom live for so long? Not to mention whether there is enough food and water on the spaceship, just knowing that humans have a lifespan of only a few hundred years, that mom must not be an ordinary creature.

It has been so long now, and Juxi still feels a little scared.

In the ten thousand years, he had always been trapped in that closed space, constantly repeating and sinking into dreams, unable to escape.

Of course, with the increasingly strange dreams, maybe it was because the dreams created by Mom had some errors, which eventually led to Juxi entering a strange world.

The Ashen World might be the so-called mental connection layer.

Juxi guessed in his heart that he always entered a grey world from time to time. Could that be the center where everyone's dreams intersect?

His answer might be correct, but now that he had left that world, he couldn't confirm it.

Besides, even if he returns to the world of dreams, what can he do? Does he have to directly confront the so-called mom in that world?

Juxi didn't believe that mom would be so compassionate. In his opinion, everything was part of her plan, and he might still be trapped in the world of dreams, unable to escape!

"Master!" Xiaohai suddenly called Juxi seriously, "I know that you have been mentally affected for many years and may not have awakened from the dream yet. But mom really saved us, she is our greatest benefactor! Not just for us robots, even for you humans, from now on you will also be mom's son."

"Mom's son?"

Juxi didn't quite understand why he had to become a guy who didn't know anything as a mother. Just because she saved his life?

He felt his mind starting to blur. Just as he thought a headache would follow, nothing happened, and it quickly became quiet around him.

When Juxi regained consciousness, Xiaohai had already disappeared, leaving him alone in the room.

He quickly turned over to see if he was still in his original home or somewhere different!

Unfortunately, things weren't as good as he expected. He was still trapped in this dark house, with no way to leave.

Also, it was too easy to leave this house, but if he wanted to leave this world...

As he thought about it, Juxi reached out with his hands and kept reaching for his neck. A bold thought came to his mind.

"It's over... everything should end... let it end."

Snap!

As the sound fell, Juxi felt the world in front of him darken, and his consciousness finally weakened slowly.
