Chapter 1261: Chapter 562 The Source of Magic Power
[As the sky began to brighten, you maintained the shape of a transport vehicle and drove near Chun Li’s bamboo house.]
[Your body began to transform, retracting various parts, leaving only the Mechanical Heart, which allowed Chun Li, encapsulated within the mechanical body, to emerge.]
[Having breathed fresh air again, Chun Li immediately bent over and started vomiting on the ground, seemingly experiencing symptoms of ’motion sickness’...]
[You extended a Robotic Arm to deliver a bottle of Sobriety Potion to Chun Li’s side.]
[Chun Li picked up the potion and drank it in one gulp, finally regaining some energy.]
["Are you alright?" you asked.]
["No, I’m fine..." Chun Li weakly lay back on the grass nearby, her expression somewhat vacant.]
["System Master, that robot... what happened to it?" Chun Li asked.]
["It... has found peace."]
Mu You chose a rather euphemistic way to put it; in fact, that robot was now nothing but a pile of debris.
["Did we really... kill a Watcher?" Chun Li asked in a disoriented manner.]
Mu You sighed. He hadn’t expected that the girl would show such strong resistance to the idea of killing a robot.
From his perspective, robots were inanimate objects, tools created by sentient beings; destroying them was no different from disassembling an item.
However, given her current reaction, she seemed to regard robots as true living beings. For her, the recent incident was as shocking as witnessing a murder for someone who had grown up in a peaceful environment.
["What happened just now was my decision, it has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to feel pressured," you said.]
[Chun Li forced a smile, did not argue, and got up, dragging her tired body towards her home.]
[Upon entering the bamboo house, which had seemed to relax her, Chun Li immediately stiffened, because there was already a figure sitting at the table inside.]
["Medicine Granny..." Chun Li looked guiltily at the elderly panda woman by the table, which also had a bowl of food made from green herbs.]
["Where have you been late at night?" The elderly lady stood up, walking towards Chun Li with a cane and frowned, "And why do you look so pale? What happened?"]
[Under the elderly lady’s concerned questioning, the grievances in Chun Li’s heart seemed to erupt; she pursed her lips, her eyes brimming with tears: "Medicine Granny, actually, I..."]
Mu You sensed trouble the moment he read the script and hurriedly backtracked his input.
["Do not reveal the existence of the system to anyone, or the system will permanently disengage," your reminder timely rang in Chun Li’s mind.]
[Chun Li paused, the words that reached her mouth were forcibly swallowed back.]
["What happened? What did you encounter?" Medicine Granny, seeing Chun Li suddenly stop talking, urgently asked.]
["No, it’s nothing... I might have been out in the wind too long, caught a cold..." Chun Li bowed her head, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.]
[Medicine Granny looked deeply at Chun Li, sighed after a moment, and touched her head saying, "If you’re sick, rest. Don’t run around; you don’t need to go to work tomorrow. Stay home and sleep well, I’ll handle everything."]
["Yes..." Chun Li still kept her head low, not daring to look at the elderly lady.]
[Not until the elderly lady turned and left did Chun Li heave a sigh of relief, close the door, sat back on the bed, and stared blankly at the food on the table.]
["System Master, can we really not tell Medicine Granny? She’s the kindest person to me here; she definitely won’t harm us," Chun Li cautiously asked.]
["Heroes are always alone, telling those close to you will only draw them into danger," you answered.]
[Chun Li fell silent upon hearing this, and after a moment, she suddenly spoke up.]
["System Master, do we really... need to oppose the robots?"]
"This..." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Mu You was stumped for a moment.
From his perspective, or rather from the Fool’s perspective, robots had sent Terminators to hunt them down relentlessly, and while they were a race of lifeless machines, they had trapped many living beings in the Abyss below, depriving them of their freedom, all with some unthinkable nefarious purpose. It seemed absolutely villainous.
Thus, in his view, opposing robots was a logical course of action.
However, from the perspective of Chun Li and the other panda people, the robots seemed to have done nothing wrong; on the contrary, they had saved these races, allowing these species, which should have long perished, to continue for many more years. Though trapped underground and deprived of certain freedoms, they lived peaceful and undisturbed lives under the guardianship of robots.
Especially in the minds of the newer generation like Chun Li, robots were a symbiotic race with them, both rulers and protectors, overall, beings equal to them.
Conversely, Mu You seemed to be the invader, suddenly intruding here, disrupting their peaceful life, using this young girl, killing an innocent robot, putting her into danger...
In hindsight, Mu You suddenly realized that he had inadvertently taken on the role of a villain.
By the time Mu You came to his senses and tried to explain something, he realized that Chun Li had already fallen asleep.
