The bar owner arrived in Shanghai, carrying the robot. The city square was empty, silent, and lifeless.
The bar owner began shouting:
"O residents, come out! Where are you? I brought you a human! You will all become rich!"
The robot spoke calmly:
"You're exhausting yourself. There's no one here except the savage robot. Put me down and run away. They'll come soon—they're following my flying eyes."
The bar owner laughed mockingly:
"And you… you made yourself? What are you—an alien?"
The robot answered darkly:
"Those who created me became monsters."
The bar owner frowned:
"You mean… they became robots?"
The robot:
"Yes—half of them turned into machines, and the other half became savages with their corrupted intelligence."
The bar owner asked nervously:
"Where are they now?"
The robot:
"They're searching for Sayli, the boy."
The bar owner:
"Why him?"
The robot:
"It's a long story. The monsters want him dead. They fear he might take over the castle."
The bar owner trembled:
"So… you're a savage too?"
The robot's eyes glowed red:
"Yes. Look into my eyes."
The bar owner stared into them, and suddenly the robot's face twisted—it turned into a terrifying monster.
The robot growled:
"I'll call you the Liquor Monster. Go, hide yourself in the taverns. The savage robots are coming for me. There might be a great battle soon. And you… you'll meet Sayli's mother. She's more savage than them all."
