On the way back, Williams and Yuri walked on the sidewalk one after the other.The weather with sleet is quite annoying, it is too exaggerated to open an umbrella, and you will be wet if you don't open an umbrella.Could it be the morning and evening peak hours, when there are very few pedestrians on the street, and the scattered passers-by who are in a hurry all have sullen faces, as if the thick clouds in the sky are the external portrayal of their mood.

"Are you scared just now?" Williams said suddenly, "It should be the first time you have been involved in this type of accident."

Yuri didn't expect it to take the initiative to start the topic, so he was startled and said: "Yes... But it feels good, because you said you would come to pick me up, teacher."

"Thank you for your trust." The bionic man walking in front smiled and looked back at the human, "But this is not the main reason, we, Hugo and I are very used to Azathoth's behavior of randomly picking people up, but I think both you and Igor were very reserved when we first contacted us. It seems that you are the type who don’t like to ask for help when you encounter problems, so when I received your text message today, I Surprised and happy."

"...I made an appointment with you for class time." Yuri was a little at a loss, "Also, Marshal Sullivan will also need help sometimes?"

Williams simply stopped, and waited for Yuri to approach before walking at the same pace with him again: "Of course, as long as it is a human being, it will encounter problems that cannot be solved by an individual. He and Azathoth have known part of it, and he also knows a lot about our past, plus...you should be able to see that the relationship between Igor and Azathoth is far more intimate than others, Therefore, I think he has relaxed a lot in the past few months, and Wendy's arrival may have accelerated the process."

"But you haven't seen us for a long time, and we are still strangers to each other. Apart from knowing your occupation and ability, I don't know anything about your past, and vice versa. Human communication is a complicated process. I You cannot be asked to trust us quickly and wholeheartedly, but you don't need to regard Igor or Azathoth as a distant big shot. I hope you can trust our backing strength for the time being, and at the same time don't overestimate yourself And don’t belittle yourself.”

"Did I say too much?" Williams tilted his head and said, "Since I was created, I have rarely had the opportunity to be alone with humans. If you feel offended..."

"No, it's nothing. You and Mr. Hugo seem to be different." Yuri was slightly moved in his heart, and said after deliberation, "I heard you say that you are actually the same 'machine', maybe I'm talking to you about it now I can hear it too. But sometimes I think you are more 'human' than it is because your programming is more advanced? Well, I think you seem to be more human than it, I learned about bionics in history class The origin of the human war, although it is only mentioned briefly in the book, but I think you also had different positions at that time?"

"Hahaha." Williams laughed, and couldn't help but look sideways at his students, "Of course not, Yuri, your thinking is too complicated, Hugo and I said inappropriately, it is the same host With the difference of two different display screens. You think we are very different, but the reason is very simple. When Hugo edited my behavior-related programs, the template was a human being."

Yuri was shocked by the news before he could blush because of its good-natured ridicule.

"Humanity?!"

"Yes." Williams stretched out a finger near his lips, making a silent gesture, "Please don't tell anyone else, or Hugo will be angry."

Yuri was dumbfounded, not knowing whether he should say 'won't it get angry if you tell me' or 'that short android is really a tsundere'.

After a while, he said sincerely: "The relationship between you and humans is really too complicated."

"A common problem of intelligent beings." Williams shook his head. "When you wake up and watch the news every day, don't you have the sad idea that the world is hopeless? But sometimes you feel that as long as there are still some Great and noble great men, and ordinary down-to-earth ordinary people, this race will not go to the point of being useless."

Yuri fell silent.

After a while, he said: "I have met many people who hate and fear me for inexplicable reasons, but there are also many strangers who are willing to lend a helping hand without asking for anything in return. So although sometimes, in the face of malicious I can't help but feel the urge to drive my knife into their chests, but in the end I just stab myself twice."

Humans laughed at themselves: "At least I won't feel pain, and I won't leave unhealable wounds."

Williams was about the same height as him. At this time, he raised a hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Look, Hugo often thinks the same way."

"That's why I say it hates humans, but it doesn't necessarily dislike humans."

"...Really." Yuri asked, "What about you, teacher?"

"what?"

"Do you have the memory of being a human in the past?"

"Strictly speaking, no." Williams touched his chin. "My memory is Hugo's memory, so I remember 'myself', but from the perspective of a bystander. It made me an impression, but as the saying goes, 'you know the face but you don't know the heart', what was that human being like back then? No one knows now."

It smiled tolerantly, like an elder who has read thousands of sails: "Talking for comfort, drinking poison to quench thirst, just like some of your bad little habits."

While speaking, Williams pointedly looked at the sharp weapon hidden in Yuri's coat pocket.

Yuri pretended not to understand: "... Then when you were a human, what was your relationship with Hugo?"

"I'm its teacher," Williams said, "teaching it to be a 'human' teacher."

**

"Williams is good at everything, but talks too much." Hugo, who had already returned home, complained to Azathoth, "Is it a habit of being a teacher? Why does it talk to students about everything?"

"What's the content." Azathoth slumped on the couch disinterestedly, every time he came back after a long trip, he would always be in this state, "Do I know?"

"You must know." Hugo said triumphantly, "You have followed me for a long time. There are so many bionics on the earth, did you notice me alone?"

"..." Why didn't I realize that you still have narcissism?

Azathoth thought for a while, and decided not to dampen its self-confidence. After a vague response, he turned his tentacles as a pillow and rolled them up face down, and buried the body in the sofa cushion, "Igor ? Want to eat that matcha cookie we made last time.”

"Now?" Igor sat next to sort out the information of the Nameless Island Research Institute. Hearing this, he raised his head, and his eyelashes under the flat glasses trembled. "I remember Hugo said last time that it was too sweet. Don't you want to put less sugar?"

Azathoth: "It doesn't matter." I can't taste it anyway, "But you can add more matcha powder, it looks good."

"Okay." Igor smiled and closed the tablet, stood up and added, "You'd better not lie on the sofa cushion like this, except it's bad for the cervical and lumbar spine... Sorry, but your tentacles It was still dripping, stained the sofa and the carpet was not easy to care for."

Hugo laughed loudly, thought for a while, and didn't quite believe Azathoth's memory, and added: "What I said just now is Williams' previous identity, do you remember? He is from my maker's family. housekeeper."

They have spent relatively long years under the same roof.

Williams isn't wrong to say he was Hugo's 'first teacher'.The maker of Hugo taught it human wisdom, human contradictions and capriciousness, and Mr. Steward showed it the glory and ugliness of this world in another way.

Azathoth said sleepily: "I might be sleeping at that time."

His tentacle was pulled back, dragging a wet trail of water on the surface of the leather sofa.Azathoth stared at the mark for a while, and when Igor was busy in the kitchen with his back turned to them, he reached out and rubbed it off with his sleeve.

But his clothes were not very dry, because the rain on the islands in the southern hemisphere was really heavy, and even a gust of wind would get wet.

And it's snowing in the northern hemisphere.

Finally, he overcame his laziness and procrastination, and decided to go to the bathroom to take a shower, at least to wash off the cold rainwater from his tentacles, otherwise he would not be able to enter the bedroom.

Hugo will be stunned, as if immersed in memories.After Azathoth rolled off the sofa lazily, it said: "That's great, I should have turned off the phone at the beginning."

"I don't sleep to escape reality."

"I didn't say that." Hugo looked at him with his chin in his hand, "And what Williams said to Hugo just now made sense, you have been secretly observing androids and humans for so many years before pinching a human for yourself Body, but we don’t know anything about your experience before you became a human... Even the worm emperor Arthur doesn’t know what you have thought and done these years, you have hidden it too deeply.”

Azathoth turned his head and met its eyes.

"I don't remember," he said frankly, "but I have the feeling that it was a dream that I shouldn't have woken up to anyway."

The bionic man showed doubts: "What?"

Azathoth said jokingly, "You are all living in my dream. So am I."

"Then your dream is really big enough." Hugo muttered indifferently, "Next time, arrange a better life experience for me, please God... Also, let Igor compose the song Don't make the cookies so sweet."

Azathoth had already given up investigating where the food it ate was digested.

Maybe the android sneaked out to the garbage dump by himself, opened the small door on his belly and dumped the food he had eaten.

He nodded casually, filled the bathtub with water amidst the rich sweet smell coming from the oven, and then skillfully lay under the water with half-opened eyes, seeing the world distorted by the flowing water waves, and It's the same as the weird dreams I have when I sleep with human beings at night.

The god's next thought was: Next time, I have to find a way to abduct Igor to take a bath together——

**

Ma'anbao, a hundred kilometers away, is snowing heavily.

Antonio knelt in the snow, a little bit of hot water overflowed from his eye sockets, flowed down his cheeks, and melted a small pit in the center of the snow.

The midday wind howled mournfully.As if he didn't feel the cold, he ignorantly froze and asked the people around him, "How much time does she have?"
