The Sabbath

"It's so dark~" Ronggui's voice suddenly appeared in Xiaomei's mind.

Here's another advantage of robotic bodies: even underwater, they can still talk to each other using other signaling modes, as long as they're connected to each other.

↑

But now it seems that this advantage may not be an advantage.

=-= Even under the water, I have to continue to listen to this guy's nagging—the head is quietly embedded in place, Xiaomei thought to herself.

as well as--

For a robot that can still see through the information point architecture even in a dark environment, does it matter whether it is black or not?

What is the difference between day and night, night and black water?

Xiaomei thought quietly, and not long after, the voice of "ah~ah~ah~" came from his mind again.

If it was a human voice, it might have been a very beautiful chant, but now Ronggui is not only a robot, but also a robot that can't even use the sound equipment, this chant directly turns into words and appears in Xiaomei's brain bingo.

Xiaomei: ...

"Why do you even sing at this time?" He finally replied to the other party.

"Singing" came to an abrupt end.

"Aren't I worried that you are also afraid?" Ronggui just laughed.

He used the word "also".

Well, was it because of fear?

"According to the detection results, we still have to sneak for about 4 hours in this situation." After thinking for a while, Xiaomei finally said something.

"Enough motivation." After thinking for a while, he added another sentence.

"Just hold on for another four hours!" Ronggui looked relieved.

He used "as long as" instead of "will".

It's a simple difference, but the meaning of the whole sentence is completely different.

"Our heads won't break like this?" Realizing that Xiaomei started talking to him, Ronggui immediately perked up, and he asked a question that he had been curious about since the installation.

No wonder he was surprised, it was——

The looks of the two of them are really amazing!

The head was inserted into the position reserved for the car as a shaft, but the limbs were reassembled under the operation of the system, and finally turned into a high-speed rotation like a propeller. Since it was the body of a machine, Ronggui didn't feel it at all, but it was precisely because there was no It felt like he was getting more and more worried.

"No, actually your head has been separated from your body." Xiaomei answered his doubts.

"Uh... that is to say, the head...has it been broken?" Ronggui was stunned, he wanted to scratch his head, but soon found that he had no hands to control.

"But...it's still so dark~" Ronggui whispered again while talking.

Later on, he even "sang" a song about getting dark.

With a lot of lyrics in her mind, Xiaomei finally connected to the system on the car, and after writing a command, the door of the car suddenly opened.

"Ah! Xiaomei! Our car door opened! What's the matter——huh?" Ronggui "saw" the changes ahead, and soon, his attention was attracted by the things rolling out of the car.

"mushroom?!"

As Ronggui said, the things that fell from the car were the "mushrooms" he had always cherished, that is, ground beans.

In the pitch-black deep water, the "mushrooms" on the top of these ground beans became the only light source in the black water, and there was a faint green light in the darkness.

It's almost like someone opened the car door and sprinkled stars out! ! !

If Ronggui has eyes at this moment, his eyes must be super wide!

However, the ground beans that fell did not fall individually, but fell out together with the flowerpot.That's right, those flowerpots made by Xiaomei and designed by Ronggui.

Before going out, Ronggui transferred many ground beans to flower pots, and Xiaomei fixed them to the rear carriage with ropes before going into the water.

"Fortunately, Xiaomei, you tied up the flowerpots with a rope~" After feeling that the other end of the rope on those flowerpots was firmly tied to the car, Ronggui continued to admire his "mushrooms" with confidence and boldness stand up.

That's great, it won't be black this way - Ronggui thought flatteredly.

Her head was finally clean—Xiaomei also got the peace she had always wanted.

All are happy.

"But can the ground beans survive in the water? If they keep soaking like this, they won't be spoiled, right?" After admiring for a long time, Ronggui finally thought of this question.

"No, in principle. Ground beans are originally plants in water. They can only be grown on land after improvement. Although they are improved species, they should be able to survive in water and even reproduce better." Xiaomei sent over The signal remains flat and cold.

"Oh." But Ronggui finally felt relieved.

At this point, the two stopped talking.

Ronggui naturally went to continue admiring his mushroom lamp, while Xiaomei...

Xiaomei is actually watching the underwater mushroom lamp.

I have to say that the mushroom lamps in the black water are really beautiful.What's more, they are still swaying with the current, and some mushrooms will inevitably fall down during the process, like meteors sliding down the sky.

For a moment, both of them forgot that they were still trudging under the water.

However, soon "someone" came out to remind them.

"Xiaomei! Yes, there's something down there!" In the silence, Ronggui's voice suddenly popped out of Xiaomei's head.

"Well, I see." Xiaomei said coldly, not letting down her vigilance even in the process of admiring the scenery.

"Then... what is that? I can't see clearly from this angle." Ronggui finally panicked in the place that had been empty all the time.

He wanted to move his head, but found that his head didn't listen at all.

That's right, his current system has been completely taken over by the system on the car, and the system on the car is controlled by Xiaomei.

He just felt that he saw something, but he couldn't see clearly.

Not a foolish and bold person, Ronggui immediately became a little scared.

"It's fish." Xiaomei's cold voice immediately appeared in his mind, and then...

Strange to say, after Xiaomei uttered her voice, Ronggui's heart immediately settled down.

"Ah... so it's a fish~"

"Hey?! Is it a fish?! My God! I haven't seen anything alive since I woke up!"

Ronggui's noisy voice immediately rang in Xiaomei's mind, and after a pause, he added another sentence.

"Er—outside of me and your body."

After being with Xiaomei for a long time, he has learned to speak a little more rigorously.

"What kind of fish is it? What color is it? Does it look good?" Soon, Ronggui's thoughts were all transferred to those unknown "fish".

"It's black, it's not pretty." Xiaomei's voice didn't fluctuate.

"It's not pretty... Also, there's not much sunlight here. Speaking of which, I've seen a group of photos of deep-sea fish before, and those fish are uglier than the other!"

"Someone commented: Anyway, I usually live in the deep sea, and no one can see anyone, so everyone just grows casually~"

"It's as long as you like... that's fine~ Hahahaha, I laughed so hard at that time."

Ronggui smiled heartlessly.

Xiaomei was not affected by him at all.

As a system operator, he can adjust his head to maximize his field of vision, not to mention that the scanning system on his body is more advanced than Ronggui's. There is nothing to hide in the field of vision, and it can be seen clearly.

There are indeed fishes down there, not many, just one.

As he said, the fish was indeed black and not pretty.

However, this statement is too simple to even be called a description.

Only Ronggui can be dismissed by him with this description that can't even be called a description.

What does that fish actually look like?

That fish is ugly, ugly, and ugly.

Not only ugly, but scary, and very big.

Even bigger than Ronggui's body in the freezer now!

The huge teeth were exposed, and the eyeballs in the eye sockets almost shrank into a small off-white spot. The fish looked more like a sea monster than a fish.

Well, here is the river, so the river monster.

Xiaomei's head was condescendingly looking down at the terrifying monster below, and that monster was also looking at him from the deep water.

Whether it was Xiaomei or Ronggui, both of them were within the hunting range of that monster.

In the black water, Xiaomei and the monster looked at each other.

Ronggui is still chattering in Xiaomei's mind.

Xiaomei noticed: the monster floated up a little more quietly.

It was approaching both of them.

For the approach of the other party, Xiaomei is calm.

He was a little too calm.

However, this calmness does not come from blind self-confidence, nor does it come from indifference to life.

But from the memory of the past——

This is not the first time he has encountered this fish.

He met this fish almost every time, not long after he opened that door, and in order to go on, he had to cross the black water alone, and in the waters over there, he met this fish .

The fish followed him every time and tried to attack him.

And he killed the fish every time.

The huge swim bladder can store enough air for him to use for about four hours, and he relies on that air to cross the deep water every time.

He knows the fish's weaknesses like the back of his hand, and he can kill the fish in a thousand ways if he wants to.

So he just paused there quietly, looking coldly at the big fish below.

The fish also seemed to feel the danger, and went down a little more quietly.

Then it floated up a little more.

Float up a little more.

As the distance got closer, Xiaomei looked at the fish more carefully, and he became more and more sure: this is indeed the fish he would meet every time.

just why-

He didn't push the door open and still came across it?

Are there other passages in the water to the outside world?Or is this road originally leading to the outside?

Really "outside"?

Xiaomei was lost in thought.

But at this moment, it is undeniable that he once again had an uncontrollable killing intent towards the fish below.

Anyone who has done something thousands of times will become numb to it.

This kind of thing is no exception.

However, what interrupted him was still Ronggui's "loud voice".

"Xiaomei, is that fish still following us?"

"You said... Could it be hungry?"

"Do you think it may have eaten the fallen mushrooms and swam up to find them?"

The innocence that can be felt even just by reading the text is Ronggui's unique way of speaking.

"You can feed it another pot of mushrooms~ Anyway, we still have a lot of mushrooms."

Ronggui continued to tease at the side.

After a long time, Xiaomei gave another command to the system on the car, and the rope tied with a pot of "mushrooms" suddenly broke, and under the watchful eyes of the two robots, the pot of "mushrooms" floated downwards.

"You won't hit that fish, will you?" Rong Gui was suddenly a little worried.

Xiaomei didn't speak.

"Is it still there?" Ronggui asked again.

"exist."

"Then throw another pot~"

"still there?"

"exist."

"Throw it away!"

In this way, the two asked and answered, and threw four flower pots down one after another. When Ronggui asked again, the answer he got was "absent".

"It left after eating, let's continue on our way!" Ronggui said happily.

"It must be a big man," he added.

This is the only episode in the waterway.

Two hours later, Xiaomei announced that they were about to go ashore.
