They are not human! (From chapter 61)

167

Wen Qing let out a sigh of relief after receiving the butler's affirmative response.

"Good that you understand," he thought.

Wen Qing turned over, looking at the butler standing beside the bed. The butler stood silently, doing nothing, yet exuding a strange sense of security.

Breathing out a sigh, Wen Qing closed his eyes.

Before long, sleep overtook him, and he drifted into a rare, peaceful slumber.

The next morning, when Wen Qing woke up, he felt completely refreshed and energetic, with no inclination to stay in bed.

Opening his eyes, he saw the butler still standing by the bed, dressed in the same tailcoat as the night before, seemingly in the same position as when Wen Qing had fallen asleep.

Rubbing his eyes, Wen Qing sat up and asked, "Did you stand like that all night?"

The butler responded affirmatively and walked towards the wardrobe, taking out a set of clothes.

Holding the clothes, he asked blandly, "Do you need help changing?"

"No, I'll do it myself," Wen Qing paused and then added, "You can sit down, you know."

The butler's eyes flickered with blue light, "I don't get tired, madam."

Wen Qing was taken aback for a moment, remembering that the butler was a robot.

He said nothing more, glancing at the mirror, which still looked like an ordinary mirror.

Throwing off the blanket, Wen Qing began changing clothes without hesitation.

By now, he was used to changing under the butler's watchful eye.

Dressing quickly, Wen Qing stood up and took a good look at the butler's outfit.

The black tailcoat seemed to be the same one the butler had worn since the first day he entered the dungeon.

Were all his clothes the same, or did the butler not need to change clothes?

Blinking in curiosity, Wen Qing asked, "Do you need to change clothes?"

The butler didn't answer but instead asked, "Would you like to see me change?"

Wen Qing was startled. He was curious but also felt embarrassed to admit it. He was simply intrigued by the robot's anatomy, but the butler's question was too direct.

"I was just asking..." Wen Qing muttered slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the butler walked to the door, spoke briefly to Asha who was standing outside, and in a few minutes, breakfast and a set of clothes were brought in by Asha and another maid.

After they left, the butler began unbuttoning his coat.

Wen Qing, initially wanting to speak, was left speechless as he saw the butler's body.

Above the chest, he looked human, but below, he gradually transformed into a robot, with faint silver hues and a dim blue glow, making it impossible to see the inner structure.

Wen Qing, somewhat stunned, found the blue glow oddly familiar.

The butler lowered his eyes, interrupting Wen Qing's thoughts, "The construction was rushed, so the body is incomplete."

Wen Qing was confused, "What construction time?"

The butler remained silent.

Wen Qing pursed his lips, wondering why the butler mentioned time if he wasn't going to explain.
