Although Juxi was moving very slowly, fortunately, the woman also walked in a start-stop manner. She seemed to be observing the situation in the surrounding rooms while searching for something.

Juxi speculated in his mind whether she was looking for him.

He didn't know how much longer he had to follow her, but at least until he confirmed it was safe, he had to keep going like this.

Since the woman came from the direction of the robots, Juxi also considered whether to go there. However, if he was discovered by the patrolling robots, they might take some unfavorable actions against him.

Of course, Juxi hoped he was overthinking.

The woman continued to observe the situation in the surrounding rooms, never once turning back to look at Juxi.

"Hoo... huh!"

Juxi accidentally made some subtle noises from behind, but the woman didn't notice. In fact, she was hardly any different from those robots, except for the resemblance in appearance to humans.

For now, he could only continue hiding in the rear and never dare to take a step forward.

Buzz...

Suddenly, the woman's head turned 180 degrees, scaring Juxi into a cold sweat. He quickly hid to the side, afraid of being discovered by the woman.

The woman only glanced back briefly before not finding any trace of Juxi and continuing upstairs via the staircase.

Juxi hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when he heard more sound coming from the corner behind him. It was the robot that had been hovering in the air before, returning again.

The robots on the spaceship were constantly patrolling, and there were rarely any factors that would disrupt their patrol time.

In this situation, Juxi changed his pace from slow walking and suddenly accelerated, running and crawling as fast as he could.

The robot's speed was fast, and if Juxi was a bit slower, he would likely be caught.

After finally reaching the upper floor, he realized he was now in an unknown space surrounded by floating robots. They were shuttling between these control consoles.

If he guessed correctly, this should be the central control room, right? Juxi wondered.

Looking at all these complex control devices, Juxi felt his guess was likely accurate.

Looking at the situation of the woman just now, she was now in the center of all the robots, inserting her mechanical tentacles one by one into the heads of the small robots.

From this, it was clear that she was indeed the "mom" Hai mentioned, and there was no one else!

Juxi had gained some understanding of the situation here. The only unexpected thing was that Hai's "mom" actually existed.

Not only that, but mom should also be a robot... Hai seemed to say something about not being a robot.

This made Juxi even more troubled. What kind of existence would it be?

But for now, he shouldn't worry about that. Juxi was very curious about the secrets that still existed here.

There were many robots in the control room, and if caught in the act here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, it was also possible that he would just be scolded and then obediently return to his sleep pod. But Juxi didn't plan to take that risk.

While he was analyzing and thinking, a small robot floated gently past Juxi's side.

"Huh?!"

Juxi was startled by the robot, but the small robot seemed to ignore Juxi's presence and continued to immerse itself in its work as if nothing had happened.

Still dazed, Juxi hadn't yet figured out what was going on, but it appeared that the robots here had no sense of attack or alertness.

Just as Juxi was about to go out and investigate, the eyes of a work robot suddenly lit up, and it immediately transformed into a combat robot, holding a machine gun and approaching Juxi.

This sudden action frightened Juxi, who quickly hid under the stairs.

After patrolling around for a while and finding nothing unusual, the inspecting robot turned its head and returned to its workstation.

"What's going on?" Juxi was still puzzled. "The robot just now clearly had no aggression. Why is this one different?"

While speaking, another small robot appeared in front of Juxi, causing Juxi to instinctively hide behind cover.

Phew~!

However, the robot ignored Juxi again, slowly passing by his side.

Unlike the agile robot from earlier, this robot clearly had no desire to fight, leaving Juxi even more confused.

"What's the difference exactly... Huh?"

Juxi started paying attention to the distinctions between these robots and quickly discovered their differences.

None of them recognized Juxi, as their heads were controlled by their mothers, and these robots consistently lacked aggression.

As for the robots in a free state, as soon as they detected anything out of harmony, they would immediately eliminate it.

Realizing this, Juxi knew what to do.

When the next ** controlled robot passed by, Juxi secretly hid behind it and moved synchronously with its speed.

As Juxi moved and observed the exits around him, his attention was drawn to the elevator doors nestled between two servers.

This was already a blind spot for all the robots, so Juxi no longer needed to hide.

Without any delay, he quickly ran out from behind the robot and pressed the elevator door open.

With a beep, the elevator doors opened for all to see.

The opening of the elevator doors made Juxi's heart race. When the doors were fully open, the robots still showed no reaction, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Juxi thought to himself, "Maybe... they don't have the relevant programming in their heads? Yeah, that's probably it."

To sum it up, Juxi truly believed that it was better to avoid those robots since their equipment was just too strong!

Fortunately, Juxi was currently safe. As long as the elevator doors remained closed, the robots outside wouldn't detect him.

"Are the people who designed these robots all sick in the head?"

Juxi couldn't help but complain, and coincidentally, the elevator reached the highest point.

This place was exactly the same as the dream scene, except the walls around were pristine, without a trace of wear and tear.

Clearly, these robots were quite diligent, and the spaceship was immaculate... or perhaps they were just incapable of creating trash.

Snap!

Before Juxi could finish speaking, a one-inch square fell in front of him.

At the same time, two small robots walked in and were chatting.

"Hey, Bob!"

"Peter, you've littered again. Pick it up quickly, or Mom will make you do the big cleaning next week."

"Forget it! You can't threaten me like this. Mom has already assigned me the whole month of cleaning. This job is nothing."

"You're so lucky. Looks like we'll never have to do this tiring work."

The two robots kept chatting and didn't notice Juxi beside them.

"Hey, what's this?"

The robot named Bob noticed Juxi's presence and sounded puzzled.

Juxi was taken aback and didn't even have the chance to speak.

Peter then violently bumped into Bob and said, "You don't deserve your programmer. Didn't Mom say that?"

"Did Mom say that?" Bob looked surprised, not knowing what Mom said. It seems that its owner is a straightforward person.

"Of course, it's the message that we're about to reach the destination. Mom said that the moment of awakening is coming, and she made this to celebrate."

"Celebrate what?"

"You're so clueless, of course, it's to welcome our owners!"

After speaking, the two walked out of the elevator, taking Black Iris to the lowest level directly.

Those two robots seemed to be the staff here. As soon as they got off the elevator, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Juxi didn't dare to stay here for long. He pressed the button for the top floor and the elevator continued to rise.

But unlike last time, Juxi had learned his lesson this time.

He simply lay on the ground motionless, knowing that those robots could fly and would never see him anyway.

As expected, the robots entering the elevator did not notice Juxi's existence.

Just as Juxi was proudly admiring his cleverness, a red figure appeared at the elevator's door.

Before Juxi could figure out what was happening, the woman who entered the elevator grabbed him and brushed off the dust on his clothes.

"Get up quickly. I'm sure you don't like the cold floor, right?"

"..."

"I'm not talking to anyone else. Besides, there's no one here besides you and me, right?"

"Well... Are you human?"

"Of course, I am human, but not an ordinary one. I guess you wouldn't understand."

"I don't understand."

"Anyway, I control these robots, so you can call me their manager or their Mom."

"Mom?"

"Of course, we're the same kind. You don't have to address me like that."

Saying that, the woman suddenly took off her helmet and revealed her true face.

"Yu... No, it's True, Jeana?!"

At the moment Juxi saw her cheek, a current seemed to run through his whole body.

The name kept echoing in his mind, although his memory of Jeana wasn't very deep.

Seeing Juxi's distress, the woman said calmly, "It's okay. Those are all your illusions. You don't have to take them seriously."

"But...," Juxi still didn't want to give up, but the woman's tone had become noticeably stern: "Do I need to say it again?"
