Approaching the Earth Chapter 37 A Night of Two Sleeps Together

In the bright bedroom, Ye Yu sat on the bed and subconsciously raised the quilt a little higher.

Mirmis checked the doors and windows of the entire house, and after making sure that they were all closed, he came to Ye Yu's room.

Ye Yu quickly patted the bed and urged Mirmis to come over quickly, Mirmis turned off the light, and then easily reached the bed with his night vision.

The faint moonlight shone into the room, giving a glimmer of light to the night that should not be out of reach.

Mirmis said in a firm tone, "Ye Yu, don't worry, I've been awake all night. If anyone wants to hurt you, I will protect you."

Ye Yu smiled and said, "But only if you can hit it."

Ye Yu moved closer in the direction of Mirmis, and with her company, the things she had just noticed no longer seemed to be threatening.

This kind of companionship made Ye Yu think of her sister.

Ye Yu, who was still very afraid of thunder when she was a child, was so frightened that she didn't dare to sleep alone because of the frequent thunder outside, but her parents were working overtime outside, so she ran to her sister's room and hid in her bed.

At that time, my sister also said that she would protect me.

Although nothing Ye Yu was afraid of would really hurt her, her sister and Mirmis were willing to provide her with protection and accept her somewhat willful requests.

Ye Yu slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Mirmis quietly glanced to the side, and after confirming that Ye Yu was asleep, he said in a very small voice, "Good night."

In the middle of the night, Mirmis has one data cable connected to the charging socket and the other to the phone, so that she can use it to surf the Internet with the phone screen off.

The amount of information that a mobile phone can receive at one time is less than that of Mirmis, so that the processor is not overloaded by the huge amount of information.

And in the process of coming into contact with the Internet, Mirmis also discovered some of the dark sides of human civilization.

Human civilization is keen to divide them into blocks, separating them into many different countries, towns, and even organizations, and different circles have different civilizational perceptions and beliefs, and then there will be conflicts.

The causes of conflict are varied, including wealth disparities, privilege, bullying, jealousy, superiority, greed, and so on.

The infighting between humans and humans is, in the eyes of Mirmys, meaningless internal strife.

However, these things are completely unrelated to the name "Dark Planet", and although it is true that they are things on the dark side, they are too common in the universe to be worth mentioning.

It seems that it is difficult to find clues in the information network built by humans, perhaps because they themselves do not know that the reputation of the earth is so bad.

In the general perception of earthlings, extraterrestrial civilizations do not exist, and within the universe they can explore, only one planet, the earth, has intelligent life.

Mirmis also noticed an interesting phenomenon in which humans are developing artificial intelligences with the fear that they will shake the dominance of humanity and even destroy humanity itself.

There are many movies, games, and stories that depict this concern, and with the advancement of technology, the possibility of artificial intelligence is becoming more and more likely.

This also means that Mirmis can't let humans discover her identity as a housekeeping robot with alien technology, otherwise with her intelligence, she will probably set off a bloody storm around the world.

She doesn't have this self-awareness, but she still has the consciousness to come into contact with humans as much as possible without revealing her identity.

At least so far, she should be doing pretty well.

Mirmis continued to wander around the Internet, visiting the customs and food culture of various countries. Among them, what she cares about the most are the huge building complexes that are amazed by the people of the earth.

Rumor has it that these supernatural structures were built by aliens, as the level of technology required to build them was far beyond those days.

Maybe you can find clues from these buildings later, and then find a way out of Earth.

The premise is that there is a way to get to those

Place, Mirmis, who lost the ability to fly, was unable to travel around the world.

If they fly, they need enough money, and they happen to be most lacking in money right now, so the priority is to find a job.

Mirmis looked up a lot of job postings on the Internet, and for various reasons, Mirmis would not choose to work outside of Qianmu Town.

It is impossible for her to work many jobs at the same time, although she can stand it, but then Ye Yu will live alone in this empty house.

Just as Mirmis was busy looking for information, Ye Yu on the side let out a cry of pain.

After struggling in the dream for a few seconds, Ye Yu opened her eyes haggardly, her face was very unsightly.

Mirmis turned around, looked at Ye Yu face to face, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Ye Yu didn't respond, her first reaction after she became conscious was to hug Mirmis's hand tightly, as if she was unwilling to let go.

After a long time, Ye Yu came to his senses and said with a slight cry, "I dreamed of the day when disaster befell Vitia."

Ye Yu blew his nose and sobbed and said, "I'm on the spaceship, and I've watched the entire planet disappear in front of me."

The picture of that day was deeply imprinted in Ye Yu's mind. She will never forget how desperate she was when Vitia exploded.

Mirmis wiped away the tears oozing from the corners of Ye Yu's eyes with his hand, and asked in a soft voice, "Are you sad?"

Ye Yu shrunk his body and said, "Grief-stricken."

Mirmis silently hugged Ye Yu and took her whole body into his arms.

Mirmis said regretfully, "I'm sorry, that's all I can do for you."

Ye Yu smiled with relief and said, "It's good to be like this now."

——————

The next morning, when Ye Yu woke up, Mirmis was no longer in bed.

But the smell of burnt burnt through the door had betrayed her location, and she helped make breakfast in the kitchen.

Ye Yu came to the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw the lettuce sausage sandwich that Mirmis had prepared and placed on the table, and the bread baked a little browned could increase the texture and taste.

Ye Yu took a bite, although it could not be regarded as a first-class delicacy, but he felt satisfied.

Mirmis soaked the pot in water, then walked to the dining table and asked Ye Yu, "How do you feel?" Is it delicious?"

Ye Yu said happily, "It's delicious."

After eating a few bites, Ye Yu suddenly stopped, and a sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

Mirmis looked at Ye Yu with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Yu shook his head regretfully and said, "It's obviously such a delicious thing, but Mirmis himself can't taste it, I think it's a pity."

Milmis replied lightly, "Actually, I can taste it, but I don't feel satisfied with any of the flavors."

Because these things are not the "food" that Mirmis should eat in the first place, although he can obtain some small energy, but it is about the same as nothing, which is equivalent to eating loneliness.

Ye Yu didn't understand a little, she scratched her head and said, "Is that so?"

Sure enough, there was a big difference in the habits between inorganic bodies and organisms, and Ye Yu couldn't help but think in his heart.

Then, Mirmis looked to the right, as if he had thought of something, and said, "But if it's energy, I do like it."

Ye Yu asked curiously, "What kind of energy does Mirmis like?"

Mirmis appeared to be happy to talk about the topic and said with a smile: "I like electricity above 300 volts the most, and although it causes irritating pain, I still like it. Liquid energyI like Titan water, it also improves the efficiency of the body."

It's a pity that they can't find this energy source in the backwoods, unless Mirmis goes to cut off the power on the high-voltage power lines.

Ye Yu thought for a moment, and then explained in a way she could understand, "So if Mirmis is an organic creature, he likes to eat spicy food

and coffee drinkers."

"Maybe that's what you might say."

The metaphor of food as a metaphor for energy is also a novel for Mirmis, who has rarely cared about what energy the robot prefers to use.

After opening this topic, Ye Yu's curiosity continued to gush out, and he asked again, "Then do you have a nasty energy?"

"Light and heat, transforming them is worse than swallowing a gear."

Mirmis showed a rare expression of obvious disgust, it seemed that she really hated both energy sources.

Ye Yu snapped his fingers as if he suddenly realized, "I understand, you hate solar energy."

On the contrary, Ye Yu likes the sun very much, and photosynthesis is an important source of physical strength.

"Doesn't Ye Yu have any nasty food?"

Mirmis's expression seemed a little worried.

"Yes, there are a lot of foods I hate on the planet, such as durian, canned herring, and animal offal and eyes."

Ye Yu very decisively threw out a bunch of things she hated, what she couldn't understand the most was the eyes, why would anyone like this part?

Mirmis nodded, "I'll avoid buying this kind of ingredient in the future."

Mirmis breathed a sigh of relief that at the moment she was lucky not to step on these mines.

After saying goodbye to Ye Yu, Mirmis cleaned up the dining table and prepared to go out looking for work.

It's just that after wandering around the streets for a while, there is still nothing, and now most places are not short of manpower, or refuse to accept people who have no work experience.

Mirmis walked around town for a long time, passing by many shops and companies, and finally stopped in front of a café, the same Wooden Bear Café where she had been drinking coffee with Pavia.

However, the reason why Mirmis stopped was not in the café, because the owner only needed to handle all the customers in a day, and there was no need to recruit waiters.

Mirmis noticed an advertisement on the telephone pole next to the café that read, "Recruiting helpers, please go up to the second floor", and the ad thoughtfully drew an arrow in the direction of the Wooden Bear Café.

Milmis followed the direction of the advertisement and walked to the second floor.
