What is that?

B3068 stopped with his head tilted sideways, standing a step away, staring at the stone on the ground, a not-so-bright light flashing in his eyes.

It's like thinking, can a robot think, that's a very special question, B3068 thinks it will, the day it feels like it's opening its eyes, it feels like it's learned to think. It walks through the ruins, thinking about its direction, thinking about its companions, thinking about the instructions left to it by its creator, humanity.

It is also because of this thinking that it feels lonely. It found that there was nothing else around it, it found that there was no human or machine to communicate with, and it found that it was the only robot walking on the ruins.

Perhaps it is the same to feel lonely in life, when they start to think, when they find themselves far away from the group, or when they don't fit in with the group, they feel lonely.

But they just want to find another similar life to confide in each other.

But let's leave that at the moment.

B3068 was still looking at the unusual stone in front of him, and it took a step forward, bending down to pick it up with its rusty metal arm.

"Are you willing to pay the price of your sin and call an apostle, who will serve you and fulfill your desires. ”

A sudden voice appeared in its consciousness.

"Toot-"

The indicator on B3068's chest lit up, emitting a fluctuating sound of electronic audio.

It sounded like his heart was beating a little.

And then.

"Dididi!"

B3068 was so frightened that he almost jumped up, threw away the stone in his hand, and ran to hide behind a street lamp on the side in a panic.

The slender lamppost naturally couldn't hide its huge body, and it lay there, hugging its head and shivering.

It was a voice, it heard a voice, it had never heard a voice like this, it should have been a word, a language.

It was the first time it had heard words beyond what it was thinking.

That is, for the first time, something is talking to it.

It's no wonder that B3068 is scared like this, and of course, it would be better if it could find a more appropriate place to hide when it is afraid.

With its size, hiding behind a street lamp is not a wise choice.

I don't know how long it took for B3068 to calm down.

By this time, it was already dark, and the street lamp above its head flickered, emitting a faint light.

In this era, there were very few street lamps in the ruins of the city that would still be lit at night.

"Drop. ”

The glow of the streetlight seemed to give it some courage, and B3068 slowly raised its head.

It hid in its arms, its pale green eyes sneaking into the stone it had left on the side of the road.

Its instincts told it that it didn't seem dangerous, and it was sure that it heard someone talking to it as it picked up the stone.

It wanted to hear the voice again, and nothing had ever spoken to it.

B3068 seemed to have made up its mind, and it crept cautiously on the ground, slowly crawling towards the stone.

Whenever there is the slightest danger, it hides back, it thinks.

But it didn't think about what it could do by hiding behind a street lamp.

It got closer and closer to the stone, and finally, it came a step away.

B3068 sank down, as if taking a deep breath, and slowly reached out one of its fingers and pointed it at the stone.

"Are you willing to pay the price of your sin and call an apostle, who will serve you and fulfill your desires. ”

The voice appeared again, as if it were right in its ears, close at hand.

As if electrocuted, B3068 quickly withdrew his finger.

It stared blankly at the stone, and the light in its pale green eyes gradually brightened, and it seemed to be greatly interested in it.

"Drop. Fingers touched the stone again.

"Are you willing to pay the price of your sin and call an apostle, who will serve you and fulfill your desires. ”

And then again, and again.

The voice repeats the same words over and over again, but B3068 never gets tired of it.

Voice, it hears voice, someone is talking to it!

B3068 sat up from the ground, touched the stone in the palm of his hand, and held it in front of him to look at it as if it had been found a treasure.

If the voice of the Apostle Moor knew that someone had used the summoned stone as a toy, it would probably be very frustrating.

Anyway, the voice spoke again in B3068's consciousness.

"Are you willing to pay the price of your sin and call an apostle, who will serve you and fulfill your desires. ”

Summon?

B3068 doesn't know the word very well, it's like a human word, a human language.

It didn't understand the meaning of the word, but it wanted to respond to it, it wanted to respond to the sound.

Because it's lonely, it wants to hear more.

"Didi (summoning)?"

B3068 pronounces the word to its electronic audio.

The next moment, the stone in its hand shattered.

At a loss, a black mist filled the stone fragments.

The mist condensed in mid-air in front of it, condensing into a human form.

B3068 sat stupidly in place, it didn't know what was going on.

It watched, watched as the human form gradually took shape, like a life created by an unknown being, and a man walked out of the black fog.

She landed on the ground, dressed in a somewhat tattered black robe and with a hood on her head, standing in front of B3068.

The two guys just stood under the street lamp and looked at each other.

The person formed by the condensation of the black mist did not speak, nor did he move.

This prevented B3068 from escaping in the first place.

It looked at the person in front of it, it was supposed to be a human, very small, only half its height, and even it was sitting taller than her.

After looking at it for a long time, B3068 saw that the other party still didn't make any moves, and tentatively stretched out a hand.

Just as its hand was about to touch the other party, the man in the black robe suddenly spoke.

"At the beginning of the apostles, they obeyed the call, and after hearing it, they were sent. ”

"Didi!"

B3068 abruptly withdrew his hand, and quickly climbed behind the street lamp, holding his head and hiding.

The timid robot was frightened again.

Chu stood where he was, turned his head sideways, and looked at the robot hiding behind the street lamp.

The summoner who summoned her this time was truly special.

But the voice of the wasteland had already given her the requirements of the mission, at least not so that she didn't know what to do at all.

"Tread. ”

Chu walked under the street lamp and stopped one step away from the robot, she took off her hood and stretched out her palm towards the robot.

"You have called me, and I will obey the command and accompany you for the rest of your life. ”

At this moment, it seemed to be the only sound on this silent planet.

B3068 does not understand human language, but due to the contract, the original meaning is accurately conveyed to it.

It slowly raised its head.

In the dim light, it saw the man holding out his hand to it, looking into its eyes with eyes as bright as the starry sky.

At night, the lonely street lamps on the ruins illuminate two lonely lives.

Under the starry sky, everything is quiet.
