They did not need to search for long before they saw a door that was slightly a jar. It was easy to spot since the rest of the walls were just a projected work of art. Since the first ti the AI program had projected so beautiful landscapes on the walls, it had not gone back to being plain.
It changes a different landscape every ti and Leng Pan was honestly amazed. So of the things that appeared on the walls were things she had never seen before. Flowers and trees she didn’t think existed.
Leng Pan pushed the door open and peeked inside first before walking in. Lu Zhen looked at the girl who was behaving like a thief when she was already inside the mansion and felt that it was funny.
He wondered how he never realized that she had such an adorable and silly side to her before.
He followed her inside the room and was surprised to find that the room didn’t have much in it. There was a long table in the middle made of a material that resembled marble, but he could tell that it was not marble.
He couldn’t identify what material that was but on top of the table was a small ball that resembled the one Leng Pan had described as having seen in her mories.
"Is that ball..." Before Lu Zhen could finish his question, Leng Pan already understood what he wanted to ask and nodded.
"Yes, it’s identical to the one I saw in my mories. If infused with the superpower energy, it can reveal the true appearance of the aliens. But, what is it doing here? Does it an that it can be used in the current world?
And, if that’s the case, doesn’t that an that there are aliens in this world too? How and when did they appear? Are they responsible for the apocalypse?" Leng Pan asked so many questions that Lu Zhen didn’t know where to start. Moreover, he didn’t know the answer to these questions.
He realized that his wife was probably having an anxiety attack and hugged her. It was the only thing he could do to comfort her.
"Don’t worry, Baby, everything will be fine. We will overco whatever difficulties there are." Lu Zhen comforted in a low voice while patting his wife on the back.
It was not surprising that she would start to beco anxious. After all, they had just realized that they had lived before and probably sacrificed themselves for the sake of humanity. It didn’t seem like sothing anyone would like to experience twice.
Leng Pan cald down and got out of Lu Zhen’s arms then picked up the crystal ball on the table to examine it.
The crystal ball didn’t seem to be anything special at a glance. But Leng Pan had seen how it could reveal the real appearance of an alien with just a little energy.
Just like how she rembered, Leng Pan injected so energy into the crystal ball and it started to glow. However, nothing else happened and she withdrew her energy.
"It looks like it’s still working. If we ever need it, we can use it." Lu Zhen comnted as he took the crystal ball from his wife and examined it.
After the energy was withdrawn, the ball returned back to its unremarkable appearance. Lu Zhen put it back on the table.
Leng Pan looked to the side at the pile of stuff on the other side of the table. She picked up a box and opened it only to find clothes inside. She picked one and found the material soft to the touch.
"Zee what are these clothes for?" Leng Pan asked because she couldn’t understand why there would be clothes here unless they were special or used for a specific reason.
"Oh! That’s a special outfit worn when there is an extre change of weather. It was developed when the aliens triggered sothing and the climate began to change. Humans could not adapt to the cold weather of -200°. Those clothes can help to regulate body temperature and help people to adapt."
"Then does it an that if we wear these clothes, we won’t have to wear thick winter clothes?" Leng Pan asked the question that concerned her the most.
"Commander Leng, how is there such a good thing in this world? Of course you still have to protect yourself from the cold, but clothes made from that material will help you to regulate your body temperature so that it doesn’t drop to a freezing point and you get frozen." Zee explained with what Leng Pan could have sworn was exasperation.
How was this an AI? It even knew how to mock people. But at least, she understood what was going on.
"Alright then. Can I take it out to make so fitting clothes for my family?" Leng Pan asked Zee because she wasn’t sure she could take it.
"Of course you can. They are yours anyway, you can do whatever you want with them." Zee replied then went quiet again.
Leng Pan began to wonder if this Zee was everywhere in the mansion. Did that an that everything she did was under observation? She didn’t like the feeling of that.
"Zee, do you always hang around everywhere in the house?" She decided to just be straightforward and ask.
"I don’t hang around. I am an advanced artificial intelligence programd to help you. But if you don’t need to be online all the ti, you can turn on and off. Just use your voice to issue a command." Zee explained.
Leng Pang was surprised to find out that she could actually turn the AI on and off. She had thought that it was like an intelligent butler who was ever present. But that was good because she didn’t have to worry about her privacy if she ever needed to stay inside the mansion long-term and not just for training or investigating her abilities.
