Chapter 1536: Chapter 1536: Teacher Mu’s Gossip
But—When facing danger, isn’t the first thing to do to unite with the mecha and resist danger together?
Why did the repairman shut down Little Golden Dragon?
Little Golden Dragon is a biological mecha, the only one in the world comparable to a 21st-century ’nuclear weapon.’ Owning it is equivalent to securing life, so why did the repairman give up using Little Golden Dragon and choose to face danger alone?
The only explanation is that the repairman knew he would die. His death might even allow Little Golden Dragon to fall into the hands of those with malicious intent, hence he shut it down.
Ji You has no doubt that the current battered state of Little Golden Dragon’s body was likely the work of the repairman.
Little Golden Dragon was created by his own hands, it’s his mecha, his weapon, and also his—child.
Before dying, leaving a glimmer of hope for his pure, innocent, and cute child, indeed aligns with the repairman’s actions.
If it were her, she might do the same.
Therefore, to find a way to repair Little Golden Dragon, one might actually need to go to the Space Rift, which is— the repairman’s burial ground.
Why doesn’t Teacher Mu want Little Golden Dragon to go there?
Does she not want Little Golden Dragon to recover?
Impossible.
If Teacher Mu truly didn’t want to repair Little Golden Dragon, she wouldn’t have handed it over to Ji You in the first place. Giving it to Ji You wasn’t just to have Ji You raise a pet.
The only explanation is that if Little Golden Dragon goes to the Space Rift, it might encounter real danger beyond Mu Jianling’s control.
What is this danger beyond Teacher Mu’s control?
Now, it seems the most likely scenario is Little Golden Dragon completely shattering, dying without a trace, and even its death might implicate her.
Ji You thinks this, but she doesn’t tell Little Golden Dragon her suspicions, to avoid burdening the mecha’s stupid circuits. She thinks for a moment and then asks Little Golden Dragon casually, "Why did you and the repairman enter the Space Rift?"
Little Golden Dragon tilts its head, thinks for a while, seems to think for a long time but can’t figure it out, and says, "I feel like this memory might have been deleted."
Ji You: "Feel?"
Little Golden Dragon steadies itself and says, "No, it’s definitely been deleted."
