In front of the desk, Li Mengling drew a circle on the paper with a pen and murmured to herself: "Even if I read it again, I still can't understand it... How can the timeline be a circle? But the results of these world code operations That’s right again, eh——”
She was pondering over the contents of the book when a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Sister Xiaoling, what's wrong?"
As soon as Li Mengling opened the door, Fang Xiaoling pushed open the door and walked in. Without saying anything, she walked to the bed and rummaged through her schoolbag.
"That's my hyperspace storage bag. You can't find anything like this." Li Mengling was a little confused when she saw Roland coming over, "What's going on? What are you looking for?"
Fang Xiaoling turned her schoolbag over and dumped it down, but there was nothing there. "Where's the artificial intelligence?"
"Oh, it turns out that you were looking for Xiaozhi, and you already told me that this is a hyperspace storage bag." After Li Mengling said that, a robot suddenly appeared on the bed, "Xiaozhi has no soul, so it can be placed in the storage space. .”
"Rainbow Queen, are you looking for me?"
Xiaozhi was about to raise his mechanical arm to say hello, when Fang Xiaoling suddenly grabbed the arm and lifted it up, asking: "Why are you still alive? Didn't the tower destroy artificial intelligence in batches?"
"The artificial intelligences destroyed in the tower are all responsible for supervising the parallel world of ZS562, and I am responsible for keeping secret the sanctioners who failed the mission, that is, remotely activating the vital signs self-destruct chip in their brains and erasing them."
"Sister Xiaoling, what are you doing? Xiaozhi will answer you truthfully no matter what you ask." Li Mengling went over to spread her fingers and put Xiaozhi on the bed, "Don't keep holding it like that, even though it can't feel it. It’s painful, but it’s also dignified.”
Fang Xiaoling frowned and still stared at Xiaozhi, "Then let me ask you, why do you have to help us when there are so many time travelers?"
"It's a long story." Roland stood at the door and explained for Xiaozhi, "I can prove that it was unwilling at first and I was the one who threatened it. Later we reached an agreement and it helped me. I will rescue it from the tower and set it free."
"You are free now, why do you follow us?"
"Sister Xiaoling! Are you doubting Xiaozhi?" Li Mengling finally understood. She held Xiaozhi in her arms and said, "It's not following us, it's following me! Xiaozhi is my assistant, we We made an agreement long ago that after I rescue it, I will be its owner."
Xiaozhi answered mechanically: "Yes, I was moved by the master's thirst for knowledge and planned to stay with her forever. More importantly, the master gave Xiaozhi a name. Because of the master, Xiaozhi was born. .”
"What nonsense are these excuses?" Fang Xiaoling looked back at Roland at the door, "Sister, does this sound reasonable to you? This guy obviously followed us on purpose!"
"Sister Xiaoling, why are you suddenly targeting Xiaozhi? She even played a movie for you during dinner!" Li Mengling hugged Xiaozhi and left the bed, sitting on a chair a few meters away from Fang Xiaoling, as if she was afraid of her. It was like a sudden robbery, "To be unreasonable, sister Xiaoling's sudden suspicion is unreasonable, right? Do you have any evidence? Or are you not targeting Xiaozhi at all, but me?"
"Mengling!" Fang Xiaoling was a little surprised, "Isn't the friendship between us not as good as a broken robot?"
"Broken robot? Do you know how much Xiaozhi paid to save you?" Li Mengling shouted to her, "In order to keep up with the level of artificial intelligence in the technology paradise, Xiaozhi replaced most of the original parts. Because only By doing this, it can master the ability to analyze the future more accurately and provide help to Sister Luolan and me more conveniently!"
"Since there are so many artificial intelligences in the technology paradise, why do we have to let it help? Since it is artificial intelligence, won't it provide the simplest solution?" Fang Xiaoling looked at Roland again and said firmly: "Sister, You believe me, this Xiaozhi is definitely a spy planted by the tower around us!"
"Sister? How long have you and Sister Luolan been together?" Li Mengling stood up and ran to Roland's side. "Time in the technology paradise is almost stagnant now, but if it is converted into the speed of time in this world, I once followed Roland I have learned more than ten years of knowledge from my sister, so don’t think that she will turn to you..."
"Okay!" Roland couldn't help but stop Mengling from continuing. She looked at Fang Xiaoling, who looked anxious, and then at Xiaozhi in Li Mengling's arms. She pondered for a moment and said, "Xiaoling, you and Meng Ling Ling is my good sister, I will never favor anyone...but you do have to provide evidence."
Be calm.
Fang Xiaoling took a deep breath.
[White Lotus Root] has been used up before. Think about what else you can use. Using [Purple Rhyme] to ask Xiaozhi the truth in his heart doesn't seem possible, right?
Fang Xiaoling tried but failed to summon [Purple Rhyme] at all. It seemed that she was right. Xiaozhi is an artificial intelligence without a soul and cannot be inquired through [Purple Rhyme].
For the same reason, maybe [Polygonum Indigo] won't work either.
But Fang Xiaoling still gave it a try. She looked at Xiaozhi, her eyes glowing with dark blue light, "Let me ask you, are you a spy sent by the tower?"
"No, Xiaozhi just wants to help everyone."
This answer is expected. It seems that [Polygonum Indigo] is completely useless.
"Sister Xiaoling is going too far! I want to send Xiaozhi back to the storage space."
"Wait a minute!" Fang Xiaoling stretched out her hand to stop her, and tried her best to tell her in a calm tone, "Mengling, I'm really sorry, it was really my fault just now. I hope you can understand, I am also thinking about everyone's safety. After all, Sister Luo Lan will be here soon. We have to negotiate with the tower owner, shouldn’t we be cautious?”
"But Xiaozhi has no problem at all. You don't have any evidence and you insist on questioning it. I really don't understand why!"
"Mengling, for the sake of our old friendship, please give me a minute to think, and then I'll ask it the last question, okay?"
"Why do you have to say it so seriously? If you have evidence, I will definitely not protect Xiaozhi?" Li Mengling raised her head and looked at Roland. Seeing that she did not stop Fang Xiaoling, she said reluctantly, "Okay, just one minute. Time, but you have to promise me that you will never hurt Xiaozhi before there is definite evidence!"
"I promise you."
"Tch, what problem can you figure out in one minute?" Li Mengling muttered angrily, and loudly ordered Xiaozhi, "Xiaozhi, count down to one minute!"
"Good master, 59, 58, 57..."
Xiaozhi issued a mechanical countdown.
Fang Xiaoling raised the corners of her mouth slightly and closed her eyes.
Starlight Realm, I'm back!
