Chapter 593: Power Stone
"It's not convenient to say here, let's go in and say. McClair thought for a moment and said.
Wuqi nodded, "Okay." ”
Then, along with Fluttershy and John, they re-enter the hut and close the door again.
Of course, what happened next was inconvenient for John, a little ghost of his age, so as soon as he entered the house, Fluttershy let Fluttershy take John into the small room.
John was naturally unhappy, although when his father was killed before, he was in pain in his heart and cried the most, but in the same way, he didn't know why his father would be killed. That day, due to his sister's absence, he happened to go out early in the morning to inquire about his sister's news.
When he went out that day, his father was still lying at home and sleeping soundly, but unexpectedly, he was killed after only an hour of absence. When he returned from his friend, he had already seen his father lying on the ground dripping with blood, so John was also full of curiosity about it.
At that time, he found that his father had lost his breath, so he naturally could only suppress his curiosity and cry loudly. But now, his father is well, and of course John will not let go of the great opportunity to know the ins and outs of this matter.
But Wuqi didn't let himself listen, and of course John protested unhappily: "Uncle! I want to listen!
However, it's a pity that John is still too young after all, and he is still an ignorant child, although he doesn't know what happened to him, but as long as he guesses carefully, he can know that he must be very dangerous. Such a dangerous thing is better to be known as little as possible.
Because of this idea, Wizard will instruct Fluttershy as soon as he enters the house, "Fluttershy. I don't want you to know about it, John, so please take care of it for a while. ”
"Hmm. Fluttershy nods understandingly, and she leads John into the room in a coaxing and tricking manner.
With the sound of "bang!" The door closed softly, and Wuqi shook his head with a smile, and looked at McClair seriously: "Uncle." Now, it's arguable. ”
McClair nodded slightly, very satisfied with Wuqi's approach, but he didn't rush to answer, but was silent for a while, took a few deep breaths, and calmed his mood back before he sighed and said, "I got up as usual that day, and after washing up, I came to the hall to do morning exercises, just waiting for John to come back and have breakfast together."
I just made two movements, and I saw a black shadow in the sky, flying towards me, like a meteor, the speed was so fast that I couldn't imagine it. I thought I was dazzled, but when I looked closely, I was even more surprised, it turned out that it was not a delusion, it was real.
When the shadow came to me, it didn't look like a stone, it was a person. ”
"What? Someone who can fly?"
"Yes. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That man...... How to say it. He can only be said to be human, but he is not human. ”
"Uncle, the more you say, the more I don't understand. ”
"I don't know exactly how to express it. Well, I'll tell you what he looks like. He looks like us, with limbs, a head, and skin.
But his limbs are not soft and pinchable like ours, but hard as steel. Although he also has a head, his head is not flexible at all, and it is very stiff to move, and as for his skin, although it is said to be skin, it should not actually be. Because his skin is all golden, and there is no temperature on his skin, it is extremely cold. ”
"Robots?"
"Can a robot, a machine become a human? But when you say that, it's really like that. Because when he speaks, his mouth does not move at all, he does not even blink his eyes, and his eyes still shine. ”...,
As soon as these words came out, Wuqi's heart was suddenly shocked.
How could there be robots here? Aren't robots only found in the realm of ordinary people in imaginative novels? Could it be that such a thing has already been successfully developed? Forget it. Let's find out why the uncle was attacked first.
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Qi put aside the distracting thoughts just now and continued to ask, "Uncle." And what about later?"
"Later?"
"Yes. What happened next? No, the robot attacked you as soon as it saw you, right?"
"Oh. Not really. However, when he saw me, he asked me an inexplicable question. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wuqi suddenly became curious and asked, "What did he ask you?"
He asked me. If there are power stones, if there are power stones, you can spare my life. If not, hand over the second guest staying in my house, otherwise, a contractual sanction will be imposed on me. ”
I didn't understand him, so I froze for a moment, and then shook my head at him. Unexpectedly, because of this, the golden robot immediately grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up.
Then, with his other hand, like a sharp knife, pierced my chest, directly pinching my heart. Later, I lost consciousness and fell to the ground, and then I was saved by you with that magical spell, and that's how it happened. ”
After hearing this, Wuqi finally had a general understanding of the matter, and nodded as if he had understood, but soon, he fell into deep thought. Because, there are three questions that he can't figure out.
What is a power stone? Why have I never heard of such a stone? Even the novels I've read about the future world never mention it. None of the robots in the book need any power stones. Also, who is the second guest staying at the uncle's house?
Could it be that my uncle took in other people besides me? If so, I've never seen anything, and even if I did, Fluttershy should at least mention it. But neither Fluttershy nor the quick-talking John ever mentioned this person. So who is this second guest, does it really exist?
Contract sanctions, according to the literal understanding, should be that this robot has signed a contract with someone, and it is that person who wants to find out the second guest of the uncle's house. That's why the robot will come to the uncle. If it can't be found, the robot will kill the uncle. In this way, the man did not want the matter to be exposed, that is, he should be from the village.
In other words, he is from the village, but he does not necessarily have a grudge against the uncle. Because, his main purpose is to find the second guest of the uncle's house and the power stone. But how was that person sure that there would be a power stone and a second guest at the uncle's house? Is it just a guess? No!
If it was just like that, he didn't need to be so careful, anyway, the killers and interrogants were robots, and it didn't make any difference whether they were seen or not. What can he do, why did he have to be so careful?
As soon as he thought of this, Wuqi suddenly became even more confused, even if he was smart, but this time, he was also confused. It was as if there was a thick layer of fog in front of me at this moment, and no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't dispel the fog and see the real inside.
However, Wuqi has no intention of giving up. Since you can't figure out the reason here, let's think differently, maybe this way can solve the mystery.
So, Wuqi put aside all the confusion just now for the time being, changed the topic, and asked, "Uncle." Do you still remember which direction the robot flew from?"...,
"Yes. With that, McClay got up from his chair, went to the window, pointed to the northern sky, and said, "There it is." ”
"Okay, I got it. Wu Qiwen nodded, and finally had a little bottom in his heart.
In this case, the robot should be the one who messes up the house. The purpose of his doing this is nothing more than to find a power stone, as long as he asks, he should be able to know what a power stone is.
As soon as he thought of this, he had no idea and asked again, "Uncle, are there any valuables missing from the house?"
When McClair heard this, he recalled it and shook his head: "No." Our family is not rich in the first place, how can there be valuable things. The most valuable things were the clothes on John's body. He didn't have a single piece of clothes, I had already seen it just now, but it was just a little dirty and messy that had been turned over. ”
Hearing this, Wuqi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he thought he had found a clue, but he found that he had hit a dead end again, so from this point of view, this matter is really strange. However, Wuqi still didn't give up, and patiently continued to ask: "Uncle, are you missing anything?"
"Me?"
"Yes. If you think about it, are you missing anything important?"
"Nope. My favorite wine and that magical water are there, and there is no sign of anyone touching them. Nothing less. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wuqi sighed again, and his eyes gradually dimmed, but he still didn't give up, and continued to ask, "What about Fluttershy? Is there anything missing from Fluttershy?"
Neither does Fluttershy. Her clothes, kitchen utensils, and some daily necessities are there. No less. ”
"And what about John? John, isn't there anything missing?"
"Less. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wuqi's eyes suddenly lit up, but the flame of hope had not yet had time to burn, and it had just been lit, and the second half of McClair's words made it extinguish at once.
"Still, the things John lacks can't have been taken by the robot. Because, those are his toys. And every time John's toys are taken out by himself to play with his friends in the village, he forgets to bring them home. ”
"Alas......"
It was only then that Wuqi finally let out a long sigh and completely lost his confidence. But to his surprise, just when he thought that all the clues had been broken, he suddenly heard McClair say to himself in confusion: "It's really strange." What's wrong with the ore that I usually use to make a cutting board?"
Ore for cutting boards, ores, ores for mines?
As soon as he thought of this, Wuqi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately exclaimed excitedly, patted Myclair, who was still wondering, and said excitedly: "Uncle! This is it! The ore must be the power stone that the robot said! I know how to find that person." ”
After saying this, Wuqi stopped talking nonsense, and immediately disappeared in front of McClair, turning into a fleeting black light, and flew out of the house directly.
After a long time, when all three of them reacted, the sound of Wu Qi sounded in the hearts of the three of them at the same time: I'll be out for a while, Uncle, Fluttershy, and John, wait for me to eat at night. Soon, I'll be back in a while. When I come back, I'll tell you a story.
