Chapter 6: The Polluted Mind

Lying on the ground was a little girl, a little girl who had died completely, and seemed to be only four or five years old. She died a terrible death, and the large pool of blood on the ground around her had been sunburned, apparently hitting something sharp. The little girl's limbs were dismembered, her eyes had been gouged out, and only the hollow eye sockets were still stained with blood, and the distorted expression on her face showed that she had suffered a great deal before she died.

Hearing the sound of discussion on the right, Ouya twisted his head to the right like a machine, and on the ground not far from his right hand, there was also a corpse, which looked like a man, skinny. His head was gone, or rather smashed into a pulp, and the fragments of his skull and its contents were scattered all over the ground.

Oude, who was in the back, didn't see what people were surrounding in advance because of the crowd, so he was a step late, and finally squeezed in, and when he saw the two corpses on the ground, Oude hurriedly hugged Ouya into his arms and didn't let her continue to look at it.

"It's miserable." Someone in the crowd said.

"It's said to be a family, and they live around here."

"I was killed by robbers this afternoon, and the woman was dragged away."

"I heard that the woman also died, and she was hanged after being ruined."

"Hey, it's really miserable, you have to be careful when you go out in the future."

"Ouya, let's go." Oude said, his voice a little low, and without waiting for Ouya's reply, he pulled her out of the market, and I followed.

Reaching the edge of Tisball on the ground, near the VIP passage, Oya kept repeating in a dull voice: "Why, why, why ......"

Ou De stopped, walked to Ou Ya and gently hugged her into his arms, touched Ou Ya's head with his hand, and said in the softest tone possible: "Xiao Ya, if you are really sad, just cry, my brother is here, my brother is here......"

Hearing this, Ouya, who had been suppressed, couldn't hold back anymore and cried, and the tears soon wet a large part of Oude's chest.

"Why, why! Why do they have to die? They obviously didn't do anything wrong, why, is poverty wrong! Wow wow wow ......"

"Why, why kill them, they are already so poor, why rob them! Woowoo woo ......"

"Why hurt them, she's so young, and ...... It's so small......"

Speaking of the back, Ouya couldn't cry anymore, for this innocent girl in the mood for love, it was really cruel to let her face these darkest things. But I don't regret it, not at all.

Ouya cried in Oude's arms for a long time, and did not stop until she was too tired to fall asleep. Seeing that Ouya was asleep, Oude carried Ouya on his back and led me back to the underground residence in Tisbor. Along the way, Oude's brows kept furrowing, but his eyes were very resolute, as if he was blaming himself, as if he had made up his mind.

Because Ouya's state was very unstable and I was frightened by the transition, Ode didn't allow me to go out, and I had to go to the sleeping pod to spend the night.

I don't know how long it took, but when the sleep pod's alarm went off again, I got up. Looking at the time or in the morning, there is not much power left in the battery, and it is really inconvenient to charge it when there is no way to sleep.

As soon as I was about to open the door, Ode opened the door and walked in, and Oya followed behind him. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she had obviously cried not long ago, but her face had recovered quite a bit.

The necklace around her neck was still worn as always, probably because of the light, and the light reflected from the crystals on the necklace was slightly dimmed.

Oude touched Ouya's head, smiled at her, turned to my back, opened my battery slot, and replaced it with a new one.

"Okay J7, the battery has been replaced, and when I have time to see if I can develop a better battery, the power consumption is a bit fast in this kind of place where there is no light." With that, Oude closed my battery slot.

"J7, I'm going to take Xiaoya to take a walk in a while, there is a steam bar in the middle of the city, the drinks and dishes are good, and the environment is also very good, you can go with us."

A steam bar? There is more than one steam bar in the city, but there is only one location in the city center, and that is the largest steam bar in Tisboor, which I saw on the map and was originally scheduled to visit last night. Before, because of Ouya's affairs, it didn't work out, but now it's just right, I think Oude should let me move freely.

I nodded, and when Oude and Ouya had changed their clothes, I followed them, ordered a rental flying ship, and headed to the city center.

Unlike what you might expect, the city center is not as noisy as near your accommodations, the lights are not so chaotic and dazzling, and there are a lot of pedestrians, but it gives people a surprisingly peaceful feeling.

The buildings in the city center are relatively spaced apart from the surrounding areas, and the buildings themselves are much larger than the others, and the number of flying ships is significantly larger.

In the center of the city there is a large square, on which stands a huge clock tower, the one I saw before, on the west side of the clock tower is a large spaceship parking lot, and a little west is where we are going to the steam bar.

You can tell from the people coming and going through the revolving doors of the bar that business is definitely good, and the people who come and go are dressed more formally and behaved in a well-behaved manner, which is enough to show that the consumption here is not cheap.

"Xiaoya, look, this is the biggest steam bar in Tisbor, how about it, it's spectacular!" Oude leaned over slightly, and said with a smile with Ouya. At this time, he completely lost the feeling of a mechanical fanatic before, and was completely a considerate big brother.

Ouya nodded slightly, and there was a smile on her face, but it was clear that she hadn't come out of the shadows of yesterday yet.

Without further ado, I followed Oude as he pushed the bar's revolving door. The interior of the bar is more spacious than it looks from the outside, the height of the first floor alone is more than the two floors of a typical building, and the second and third floors can be reached by the steam elevator next to it.

"Hello, distinguished guest, do you have an appointment?" A waitress came up to Oude and said with a smile.

"Hello, we don't have an appointment." Oude Road.

After the waitress confirmed the number of us, she turned around and said something to the waitress next to her, and then smiled: "I'm sorry sir, there is only one seat for two people in the lobby on the first floor, and the environment may be a little noisy, and your robot can't sit there." ”

The waitress paused for a moment and then said, "But now there is a robot show, and it is better to see it clearly when you sit on the first floor." ”

Oude thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, just sit there." Then he said to me, "J7, you go for a walk, I'll accompany Xiaoya to see the show, and you will come to us in about an hour." ”

With that, Oude and Ouya followed the waitress and disappeared into the crowd, while I stood still and did not leave immediately.

Although he said that he was going to come here to find clues, because there was no way to communicate with humans, and it was not like a library, there were a lot of documentary materials, so after really coming here, I was a little overwhelmed.

Anyway, let's walk around first. With that in mind, I began to wander aimlessly around the bar, looking around for some useful information.

The atmosphere inside the bar is very elegant, although the waiter said that the first floor is noisy, but in fact it is only relatively speaking, except for a little more people, the first floor is quiet compared to the shops outside.

I kept moving through the crowd and found an interesting phenomenon at the same time. No matter how much it looks like a social place, it's still a bar at the end of the day, and most people come here for the food and drinks.

But I found a lot of robots here, which is really weird, even though most of the people who come here to eat are relatively wealthy, but there are too many robots.

Just as I was thinking, there was a soft thud on my shoulder, and I turned my head to see a robot that was a circle smaller than me facing me, and it was undoubtedly the one who slapped me just now.

The steam bar is more than just a place to eat and watch a show, it is more known as a place to socialize. This is true not only for humans, but also for robots, but there are not many robots in bars because there are places such as robot stations in Tisboor that serve robot communication.

The robot in front of me at this point was clearly one of the few robots, and it was clear from the smile on its face and the data cable that it was friendly to me and wanted to talk to me.

The way of communication of robots is different from that of humans, because of the technical limitations of this world, so robots have no way to speak like humans, and can only use data lines to connect with the same kind of people, and directly communicate with each other through the information exchange of chips, and if the other party is a human, it is completely impossible to communicate.

The shape of this body doesn't look like any other robot, and my body doesn't have an expression function, so I've only been able to express my wishes through my actions.

I nodded to it, reached for the cable, and aligned it to the slot on the back of my neck, and with a gentle touch, a somewhat mechanical voice sounded in my head as I connected it.

"Hello, my code name is X518, and my master usually calls me Hachi."
