Arthur pulled out a tiny, see–through patch and quickly pressed behind Lexie’s ear under her puzzled look.

As soon as the patch touched her skin, it seemed to merge seamlessly with her.

“Hey, kiddo, can you hear what I’m saying now?” Arthur asked.

Lexie suddenly heard his voice right in her ear. She froze for a slit second, then her eyes lit up. She nodded at Arthur, excitement written all over her face.

“Yeah, I can understand you now. Thanks, sir,” Lexie replied.

Hearing Lexie’s excited answer, Arthur flashed a grin.

He couldn’t help asking, “Hey, what’s your name? And how did you end up on the deserted Dora Planet?”

“My name’s Lexie Goodwin. After I fell off a cliff, I ended up on that planet,” Lexie replied.

“Fell off a cliff?” Arthur echoed, frowning.

After exchanging a glance with Austin, Arthur looked back at Lexie and asked, “Who’s your master?”

“Master? I don’t have a master,” Lexie frowned and said.

She thought to herself, ‘I’m a human. Why would I need a maste? Is this guy running some kind of slave ring or black market operation?‘

Just as Lexie was still lost in thought, Arthur pulled out a device and scanned the back of her neck.

While Lexie was still confused, Arthur spoke up, “Marshal Drake I’m not seeing any code on the back of this female bot’s neck. I can’t track down which lab created her, and I can’t tell who her master is.‘

“Could this artificial female bot have come from some underground lab?” Arthur asked.

Suddenly, a thought struck Austin. He turned to the guard beside him and said in a commanding voice, “Get someone to check if there were any secret labs on Dora Planet in the past.”

“Yes, Marshal,” the guard replied and left.

Lexie immediately sensed something was off after overhearing Austin and Arthur’s conversation.

‘Wait, what? Artificial female bot? These two insanely handsome guys actually think I’m some kind of bot? And they’re saying I was manufactured in a lab?‘ Lexie thought.

She instantly sensed that something was definitely wrong.

Lexie wondered, ‘Female? Seriously? Shouldn’t they just call me lady or a woman?

‘Is tech really that crazy now? They can actually make bots so vividly?‘

She thought back to the weird place she’d woken up in, and the ant spaceship she was stuck on now.

Her mind had been in a fog for days, but suddenly, everything clicked.

‘Wait, did I actually end up in another world after falling off that liff? Just like in those webnovels?‘ Lexie thought, her heart racing.

Chapter 4

Just thinking about it made Lexie press her lips together, too freaked out to say another word.

With everything so unfamiliar, she wouldn’t be dumb enough to spill her whole story to these people.

If they were bad guys and tried to hurt her, she’d be in real trouble.

Since these two men thought she was an artificial female bot, Lexie figured she’d just go with it and act like one for now.

With everything so unclear, she’d just have to take things one step at a time.

While Lexie was still deep in thought, Austin stepped up and held the high–grade energy crystal right up to her mouth. “Come on, eat it.

Lexie glanced down at the rainbow–hued crystal being offered again, thinking, ‘Well, if they think I’m a robot, it makes sense they try to feed me a crystal.

‘But I’m a human. Seriously, how can I even eat a crystal like this

Lexie accepted the crystal, catching Austin’s expectant look. After hesitating for a second, she awkwardly slipped the gem into her pocket.

Lexie mumbled awkwardly, “Uh, I just ate something. I’ll save this for later.”

Hearing that, Austin looked over at the empty plate on the table.

There had been snacks and fruit on it before, but now, everything was gone.

Seeing the crumbs on Lexie’s lips, Austin looked confused and asked, “Kiddo, besides energy crystals, can you eat regular human food too?”

“Yeah, I can eat energy crystals, but I mainly rely on human food to keep my body functioning,” Lexie replied.

“Really?” Austin was confused.

He turned to Arthur with a puzzled look and asked, “Can artificial female bots really eat organic food?”

“The latest models are designed to be excellent companions. They can definitely join their masters for meals,” Arthur replied.

“Is that so?” Austin said, still sounding doubtful.

He looked Lexie up and down, and for some reason, he couldn’t help but feel there was something weird about this so- called artificial fernale bot.

But he just couldn’t figure out exactly what it was.

He just smelled the familiar scent on her, the same one he sense from Lilith.

Austin’s scrutinizing gaze made Lexie’s heart skip a beat.

She was scared that Austin would catch her lying and do something harsh to her.

Just as Lexie was about to drop her eyes, unable to handle Austin stare, a guard’s voice rang out from the hallway.

He reported, “Marshal, we just found it out. Three years ago, the Viper Legion did destroy an underground lab on Dora

Planet.

According to the records, when they raided the lab, they discovered some of the test subjects had managed to escape.

Chapter 4

“They couldn’t track them down, and since Dora Planet is uninhabited, they eventually gave up the search.”

Hearing the guard’s report, Austin and Arthur fixed their intense gazes on Lexie.

Feeling the pressure from their stares, Lexie quickly shook her head and denied. “I don’t know. I really can’t remember anything. When I woke up, all I knew was I’d ended up there after falling off a cliff. I honestly don’t remember anything else.”

“Really?” Austin asked, his tone full of doubt.

“Yes. I’m telling the truth, I swear,” Lexie blurted out.

Seeing Lexie nod frantically, her eyes wide with fear, Austin thought to himself, ‘Even if there’s something suspicious about her, she’s just a bot anyway.

‘I’ll keep her around for now. If her identity turns out to be a problem, I can always deal with her.’
