Chapter 285: A Talk With Zero One ----- Right after I finished eating my delicious peach snack, someone gently knocked at the door. Knock, knock! Originally, I thought it was Fang Shuan, a Familiar of mine, so I let them in without problems. “Come in!” The door opened, but the one that walked inside was Zero One. Well, that wasn’t too bad either. Though it would have been weird if it was Yin or something. “Oh, my fav android! Are you hungry?” I greeted her happily; I bet she came here for breakfast or something. Though… “Anna, there’s something I need to talk with you…” She looked slightly depressed, her face was rather sad-looking, and her eyes seemed a bit empty of her usual neon light. “W-What is it this early in the morning?” I got slightly scared; she’s usually never this serious! “Um, can I sit by your side?” “Okay…” I let her sit by my side in the bed as she looked around the bedroom with a slight surprise. “Wow, so this is your bedroom, Anna? Your original house looked like this, right?” “Yeah… Um, that’s right,” I nodded. “Sooo, what’s wrong?” She was a bit hesitant about telling me, but at the end she was able to open up. “Um, it’s about… Well, your master.” Wait, master? Which master? The crow or the crane? Nah, she doesn’t know the crow, so it’s most likely the crane. She’s my favorite master anyway. “The Heavenly Empress? What about her?” As I asked her, she seemed to be slowly preparing herself to tell me. Looking down at the floor, then around my bedroom one last time before finally opening her mouth. “You see… I had a conversation with her just before coming here and… I just can’t keep this hidden anymore. She didn’t tell me to not tell you either, so… Please, listen well.” She talked with her about something. Wait! Is this why she looked so weirdly depressed and silent before? Hmm… But what did they even talk about? They’ve barely known each other for like a couple days at most. Ah, well, it’s not like Zero One is not good at getting attached to people. She got really attached to us already, especially to me, so it can’t be said she wouldn’t do the same with someone else, even less someone as motherly and nice as Master. Honestly, I am also quite attached to Master, so her serious tone of voice has me a bit nervous. But it’s better to just ask her instead of delving into my inner thoughts; that’ll only make me more worried and paranoid after all. “Okay, just tell me…” I said, patting her shoulder. “Um, you know that she has nanomachines inside of her, right?” asked Zero One. “I had realized she had them since the moment I saw her.” “Ah… Yeah,” I nodded. “I told her I would find a way to heal them! I was about to ask you if you could do it? Seeing you can control robots and so on?” “I… Well, that’s the thing; I had tried to do that,” she sighed. “But it didn’t work; those nanomachines have been slowly eating away her lifeforce. She’s using most of her powers to keep them within a certain area of her body, but they’re already all around her bloodstream. She said that the {Mother of Artificial Life}, a Constellation, had injected this into her and the Heavenly Demon before they destroyed their Avatar and probably killed her.” “This Mother of Artificial Life… Was she related to your Mother?” I asked her. “I… I don’t know what relation Mother has with them, but she created the Avatars for all three of the mechanical constellations when they invaded.” She sighed. “Mother has not revealed to me the truth yet, but I know that she has a strong relationship with them somehow… Perhaps those three Constellations might not be truly dead yet. I just… feel something odd. Those nanomachines are still being controlled by something. I just was… unable to hack them and extract them.” “That’s… I guess that’s a pity,” I said. “But don’t sweat over the details, Zero One. We can find another way together. Maybe if we ask your mother, or if you can get better equipment?” “Hmm…” she sighed. “I-I don’t know… I was so sad, I had to tell
