Looking at the dark opening.

Roger couldn't help frowning.

The sudden sound made him somewhat defensive.

Without being sure whether the other party is friend or foe, what if you rush into a cave and get blocked by a mechanism?

So he had an idea, and shouted at the mouth of the cave:

"The hole is too narrow."

"I can't climb up!"

His words echoed in the cave for a long time.

It was a long time before there was an "oh" from there.

Then there was a slight shaking sound in the cave.

Roger glanced over curiously.

In a short time, a robot covered in rust crawled out of the hole.

To be honest, Roger had never seen such an "obese" robot.

Its limbs are strangely short, and its proximal end is fat, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ball.

The robot's skin has long been eroded by the wind of time.

All that remains is endless potholes.

It struggled to climb the cave, like an old man in his last years.

See it like this.

Roger felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

"Huh?"

"Is the guest fatter than Aba?"

The robot staggered to its feet from the ground, looking at Roger with doubts in its voice.

Suddenly.

Its left foot shattered into silver with a thud.

The robot fell on the spot, and even its right foot became an ornament.

"What a faux pas...... Make the guests smile. ”

Its voice was indescribably frustrated.

But it didn't take long for it to become optimistic:

"That's fine, the guest can push me in for a while, which can save a lot of trouble."

Roger was silent for a moment.

The robot's voice and reaction reminded him of a childhood friend from his previous life.

He walked over and gently lifted it:

"Are you alright?"

"Nothing? Of course it's okay, Ah Ba is a constructor, how can there be anything? (Note 1)

"Oops, what a faux pas! I forgot to introduce myself. ”

The robot said solemnly:

"My name is Ah Ba, and I am the 'Teaching Elder' of the Qingquan Sect."

Speaking of this, it scratched its head rather anthropomorphically, and there was a bit of gloom in its words:

"It could also ...... He is the last member of the Qingquan Sect in this world. ”

Roger nodded slightly.

Somehow, this structure felt unusually intimate to him.

"Haven't had time to ask for the names of the guests?"

Aba looked at Roger.

Its eyes are small and glowing reddish.

"Roger."

This time, Roger decided to tell the truth.

"Mr. Roger, why don't we try again and see if we can get through?"

Ah Ba's mood seemed to be high:

"The master of the music style has said that it is very rude to let a guest stand outside and talk."

Roger was infected by its emotions and laughed too:

"Okay."

At that moment, he pushed Ah Ba into the cave.

The cave was low, but Roger could pass through it by bending down.

He didn't have long to push Ah Ba before he saw a faint light.

Not much.

The terrain suddenly opened up.

The cold rocks overhead turned into an unreachable night sky, and the cramped caverns were replaced by vast expanses of land.

For a moment, Roger felt as if he was in the wilderness of the Plains at night.

Look at the past at a glance.

Lost temples, collapsed houses, abandoned farmland, and the windblown and sandy roads are all vividly visible!

It doesn't look like a dungeon view at all!

Roger stared at the night in the sky for a long time, making sure that the twinkling stars were not underground gems.

"Sir must be curious, right?"

Ah Ba said: "It's a pity that I can't explain this phenomenon. ”

"I remember that a long time ago, the top of the head of the Qingquan Sect was the 'Mountain Protection Array'; Standing here at that time, you have the opportunity to see the magnificent sunset and waterfalls. ”

"I don't know when it became this endless starry sky."

"It was also a long time before I realized that the dojo had sunk to the ground."

"This way, please ...... here."

Roger pushed Hachi on.

The road is lined with wind-damaged ruins.

Passing by a well-preserved courtyard, Roger also saw a swing covered in dust.

It seemed to be aware of his gaze.

Ah Ba said sullenly:

"There used to be a lot of people living here."

Roger asked softly:

"What happened next?"

Ah Ba recalled intermittently:

"The king of Tarun has sent a letter."

"The master of the music hurried out of the mountain, and never came back."

"The brothers and sisters left one after another."

"People who don't leave die overnight."

"Only the little squirrel is still with me."

"But then the little squirrel died."

"I buried them all in the cemetery in the back mountain."

"Later......"

"I can't find their grave."

……

Although Aba's memory is mutilated.

But Roger also extracted a lot of useful information from it:

For example, he knew that the country where the Qingquan Sect was located was called "Tarun";

Tarun and the Qingquan sect had a close relationship;

And the owner of the Qingquan Sect Dojo is the "Master of Qufeng", and the Fire Bead in Roger's hand is from him;

……

Another example is that disasters struck overnight.

Except for the constructor Ah Hachi and an existence named "Little Squirrel", the rest of them were not spared.

This information had a big impact on Roger.

recalled the various scenes he saw on the Liuxian Wall, and compared the ruins in front of him.

For the first time, Roger felt some kind of indescribable emotion, and there were only four words left in his heart.

"Vicissitudes of life".

……

"You really can't remember how many years have passed?"

Roger couldn't help but ask.

Ever since he learned of the existence of the Great Holocaust, he has been very curious about the exact time of the catastrophe.

He asked a lot of people, but they didn't get a clear number.

The old man in Tongma Town, Cindy of Dragon's Tooth Village...... None of them could tell Roger a more precise history.

If Haba hadn't lied, then he would have been a living being before the Holocaust.

It is the one who is closest to the truth.

However, the construct responds unfortunately:

"I'm sorry, but it's really rude to not remember the year."

"But Aba's memory mod is so bloated that I have to delete a lot of unnecessary things in order to complete my final mission, which makes a mess of my brain."

"See those memory crystals on the ground? Those are the parts I replaced, and there should be a lot of memories in them. ”

"It's a pity that my memory slots are completely broken, if you have other constructs, you can try to read them."

They came to an open field.

Ah Ba said as he pointed to a mountain of shiny objects not far away.

Roger noticed a batch of magic crystals that had been placed on a stone shelf alone, covered with a small off-white tarpaulin.

"Are those magic crystals your memories too?"

He asked.

"Ah, yes. These are the precious memories left by Ah Ba when he peeked at his sisters and sisters taking a bath before. ”

The construct said happily:

"If you want to see it, please feel free to read it!"

Roger couldn't help but stop:

"It's not...... Isn't that right? ”

Ah Ba shook his head and said:

"They have long since been lost to the dust of history."

"I can't even remember their voices and smiles."

"It's rude to peek at people taking a shower, but it's better to let them be completely forgotten, right? What do you say, Mr. Roger? ”

Roger smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

This Qingquan Sect's teaching elder is really a logical genius!

Demons send gods to the world.

He walked over and picked up a memory crystal and played with it in his hand.

"I'm not a constructor anyway, and I can't read these memories."

He said this to himself.

Right now.

There was a sudden change in the data bar!

……

"A well-lit memory crystal has been detected, is it reading the memory?"

……

"Gan!"

Roger's complexion instantly became cloudy.

Normal constructs can only perform certain programs, such as "Steel Ward".

And the construct infused with the "Constructing Enlightenment Technique" is equivalent to life.

If you're strong enough and have enough knowledge and materials, you can DIY various constructs on your own, such as the "Golem of Pleasure")

(Curious, what does the "Golem of Pleasure" think of when you see it?) ）
