Chapter 294: 9527
Chu Jiao seemed to have returned to the strange place she had once intruded on in the previous world.
She was still much like a soul standing inside the large room, her body completely transparent, so she was unable to see herself. The people on the road also didn't seem to see or notice her existence. But this time, she suddenly felt warmth beside her as someone had held her hand.
Chu Jiao turned her head to the side, and even though she couldn't see anything or anyone, she heard the man's soothing voice echoing beside her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm right by your side."
"Where... is this place?" Chu Jiao asked, harboring a preposterous theory in her heart.
"This place..." The man's voice sounded distant as he held her hand. The two people then walked like this through the doors and arrived inside the room.
"This place... is our original world."
"...Our?" O..ur...?
Chu Jiao shook her head in disbelief, "How could that be? I don't even have any memories of this place... Moreover... Shouldn't I simply be an insignificant supporting character that someone had created in a novel?"
The system wasn't currently present, and Chu Jiao believed that the man beside her, who had transmigrated through so many worlds together with her, knew what she was implying.
"No, you were never a supporting character... You were always the only main protagonist in my life."
She then felt a warm kiss being pressed on the corner of her lips. The connection between their souls felt so good that Chu Jiao couldn't hold back from reacting, until a noise from within the room suddenly called their attention.
"Young Master, it's time to eat."
The girl, who was wearing metallic clothes, carried a tray containing a bowl of rice and two side dishes into the room, her hands keeping the tray balanced. The dishes in the tray looked extremely delicious and proportionally nutritious. After a careful look, one could find that the vegetables and pieces of meat were carefully cut at the same thickness, as if a machine had cut them.
The young girl let out a flat voice. After placing the dishes on the table and seeing that no one had responded to her, she cocked her hand and was about to turn around, about to leave to go upstairs.
"I got it." The soft milky voice of a child rang from upstairs, which was soon followed by a series of footsteps. Finally, a handsome little boy descended down the stairs.
"Him!" Chu Jiao watched the young boy attentively, his familiar little face rousing some of her memories——
"Little kitty cat, are you also hungry?"
"All right, quickly drink this, it's milk."
"Kitty cat, we're going to have a big meal tonight!"
That was clearly the appearance of the president male lead, He Sinian, from when she transmigrated into a world where she had transformed into a cat, when he was young.
"That's... me," The man's voice continued to closely ring in her ear, "Me, from when I was little."
Why were the appearances of these two people from two different worlds completely the same? Chu Jiao suddenly thought of the father-in-law she had in another world, the male lead, Shen Zhen, looked completely the same as the adult Director Xiao!
What was going on?
The doubts in her heart grew wildly. Chu Jiao really wanted to open her mouth and continue asking her questions, but the man's fingers lightly pressed against her lips to prevent her, "Shhh, continue watching."
The boy happily sat on the seat, which was truthfully a little too high for him, his back becoming ramrod straight. Eating seemed to be just another task to him, with one hand carrying the bowl while one hand held the chopsticks, his hands' actions and his mouth's chewing seemed to be set at a fixed frequency, as though he was an artificial human who had no life in him.
When the boy finished eating, the girl immediately stepped forward and put the bowl and chopsticks away. The little boy casually turned his head and eyed the girl's straight figure. He then jumped off his chair and tottered into the kitchen following the girl.
"Yi?" Chu Jiao noticed that regardless of whether it was the kitchen or the dining table, there was only one set of bowl and chopsticks. Could it be that the maid was not allowed to eat?
She then recalled from one of her dreams that the master and mistress of this house had never reappeared again up until today.
"99," The little boy called out to the young girl, "I want to go out and play."
When the young girl heard this, her hands immediately stopped moving. She wiped the water off her hands and turned around, crouching in front of the little boy to look at him eye-to-eye, "Little Master, Master didn't allow me to take you out."
With a careful look, Chu Jiao finally noticed that the girl's eyes were actually silver gray, but these weren't the details that stood out against her pretty face. It was just that there was not a hint of feelings found in her eyes.
The little boy seemed to have already anticipated how the girl would respond and pursed his lips, once again telling the girl.
"9527, I command you, take me out!"
This time, the girl did not immediately respond. Instead, a silver light flickered in her eyes just like the androids that Chu Jiao had previously seen in sci-fi films.
After a few seconds, the girl finally responded. This time, the words she said next completely overturned Chu Jiao's understanding of the world.
"Initiating second-level authority, 9527 has received the command. Taking the little master out."
The little boy smiled in self-satisfaction. He pressed on the watch-like electrical device on his arm, and a transparent screen promptly popped out, showing a full page of search results of 'how to change the command authority limits of house androids'.
An...dr...oids?
This girl, who didn't look or act any different in the slightest to humans, was actually an android!?
The corner of Chu Jiao's lips hooked up in shock. Ever since the man had uttered the words 'This is our world,' a heavy thought became rooted in her heart, making her unable to stay calm.
"You aren't telling me... that this 9527... is me, right?"
"This joke isn't the least bit funny at all."
"....."
The man's silence seemed to serve as its own answer. Chu Jiao's eyes grew wide in disbelief, staring at the young girl who mechanically led the young boy outside the door.
After transmigrating through so many worlds and experiencing life and death situations as well as feelings of love, he was now telling her that she was actually an android?
She originally thought that her existence as a supporting character in a book was already the most absurd thing she had ever learned. But, she didn't think that there was even something more unimaginable than that.
'Jiaojiao... Do you still want to continue watching?" The man held her hand even tighter.
"I do. Why wouldn't I!"
Chu Jiao gnashed her teeth. She wanted to see how exactly she turned from being an android into a living human!
