So tired...

As his footsteps gradually became heavier, Ange felt that his whole body was filled with an extremely uncomfortable feeling. He closed his eyes, and the sound of his heart beating in his ears almost broke through his eardrums.

what happened?

Ange didn't know, he only knew that he seemed to have lost the motivation to move forward, or the ability to think.

Although he was not very clear about what was happening, he could clearly feel something flowing out of his body little by little. He wanted to catch it, but in the end it was to no avail.

He cannot stop the flow of life.

"Ange!! Ange!! Are you feeling unwell - Ange!! Can you hear the sound!!!"

Alice's voice lingered in his ears, as if calling him from a distance, and it was mixed with some kind of weird sound, making him unable to concentrate.

This situation is very wrong.

The red-haired girl walked back and forth anxiously. She didn’t understand what was happening. It was clear that Ange was fine not long ago, but now suddenly...

Could it be related to the condition of the Heart of Machinery?

Many people suffered adverse reactions during this mission, among which Ange was the most serious. He even lost his ability to move and did not have the strength to stand up.

Why does it become like this...

Alice was anxious and anxious, but she couldn't help but watch her friend fall into such torture.

The doctor must take him to see a doctor.

The moment such an idea came to mind, Alice immediately went around to look for a hospital. However, the fifth district became desolate because of the disappearance of the prosecutor. It was in chaos, and no one cared about an ordinary person.

Candidates in the dark alley.

What to do, what to do??

The red-haired girl carried Ange, who was already unsteady on her feet. She stumbled and ran through the street, but she could never find a direction to stop.

Ange's breathing was already very weak. He looked like a fish that had lost its water source, as if he would die in the next second.

Why does this happen?

It was obviously not like this at the beginning...

In the beginning, when she, Aaron, and Ange met for the first time, everything was obviously fine. At that time, they lived in the bleakest District 13, with neither enough food nor warmth to wear, but those days actually became her memory.

the warmest day in.

Is it because she made the wrong choice?

Shouldn't she have entered Central College from the beginning, shouldn't she have taken the risk from the beginning?

As a result, she lost Aaron, and now she's going to lose Ange too.

In the end, can she go down this road alone...

don't want.

Absolutely don't do that kind of thing.

Alice forced her tears back, sniffed hard, and continued to walk forward step by step with difficulty.

She must find a way to keep Ange alive.

"Well, this little lady, can you stop for a moment?"

Just when Alice was wandering aimlessly on the street like a headless fly, the middle-aged man's voice suddenly stopped him.

The red-haired girl turned around suddenly, and her tearful eyes saw a picture of a man covered in red spell seals.

"Ahem, excuse me. Are you a candidate at Central College?"

The middle-aged man pulled the tail of his messy hair. He looked extremely messy, as if he had been dug out of a pile of junk.

"I am."

Alice sniffed and said in a low tone:

"What can I do for you?"

"What I want to ask about is the one you're carrying - the one, uh..."

Rocco began to look for the right words, but he found that when he said this sentence, Alice's eyes were fixed on him, as if staring at the last life-saving straw.

"What!! What do you want to say!!"

The red-haired girl grabbed his shoulders and sounded like she was about to cry.

"Can you save him!! Can you take him back!! Ange, Ange doesn't know why he became like this. It was obviously not like this in the beginning..."

"Calm down first!!"

Being caught by the girl and confused for a while, Rocco hurriedly explained:

"I just think he looks familiar!! Don't be so excited! Isn't it just to save people? In the worst case, I will take you back!!!"

"Really!!" Alice burst into tears, "Are you really willing to save him?! I can give you money!!! I'm willing to do whatever it takes -"

"Shhh!!"

Rocco kept telling her to be quiet, and at the same time stretched out his hand to put on Alice's hood.

"Saman, please stop wandering on the street!! Do you think you are not conspicuous enough? Many people were looking at you just now!!"

"Are you really willing to save him?" Alice still couldn't believe it.

"I know there is no free lunch in this world, and I don't want to make things difficult for you, so...if there is anything I can do to help, I can definitely help!!"

Rocco was slightly stunned. He looked at the girl's tearful eyes, and finally sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, he is someone who came out of a dark alley, because he has seen so many betrayals and dark sides that he doesn't even want to believe in the most basic kindness?

Well, actually he is not that kind of a person, but the current situation is really...

For a moment, Rocco seemed to think of many things in the past. His eyes gradually dimmed and his voice became much gentler.

"Ahem, in short, if you are willing to believe me, just bring him to my store." Rocco coughed and raised his face that was covered with spell seals and looked a bit scary.

"I can try my best, but I want to explain in advance - I may not be able to cure it. You have to be mentally prepared."

In fact, he didn't notice her because of the crying girl at first. Being an excellent mechanic and researcher, the first thing Rocco noticed was the boy who was being supported by the girl.

With just one glance, he noticed an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

That boy didn't seem to be human.

The pain he was feeling at this time was not so much an illness as it was a short circuit caused by the chaos of the mechanical heart. Just like Ye, he originally planned to go out and find the cause because Ye's condition was not right, but he did not expect that he also encountered another person.

A boy just like Ye.

The soul is trapped in the mechanized body, and even if it wants to struggle, it can't do anything.

This is indeed a very rare situation.

After taking the girl and the unknown boy back, Rocco closed the door on the side, and at the same time told his apprentice to watch the door carefully, and took Ange and Alice to the inside of the research room.

"Before, I want to ask you something." Before Alice could speak, Rocco spoke first.

"Do you know the identity of this young man?"

"Ange's identity?" Alice was slightly stunned, "I actually don't know very well, because he was the one who picked up me who was expelled at that time. In fact, I know that he has secrets in his body, but I have never explored it."

"Sometimes it's not a good thing to know nothing about your companions." Rocco raised his eyebrows.

"Then I tell you now that this young man is not actually a human being. Will you be surprised?"

"Not a human being??" Alice was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean not a human being???"

"That's what it means literally."

Rocco picked Ange up and placed him on the operating table. At the same time, he found a small button-like object near his temple and gently scraped it with a scalpel——

Under the silver hair tail, there is actually something like a charging port hidden.

"Hmm...it looks pretty new. It doesn't seem to have been used much."

Rocco looked at the charging port and fell into deep thought.

"Quite new?" Alice seemed a little unable to keep up with Rocco's thoughts, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand yet?" Rocco looked at him helplessly, but still explained in detail:

"It means - this child is not a human, but a robot, and it is a rare robot with self-awareness."

Unlike Ye, who needs [instructions] to survive, this child will not be bound by instructions.

He is free, but because of this, there is no mechanical channel for instructions. At this moment, Ange has also lost half of the robot's durability.

His style even looks a little older than Ye. Rather, it is a miracle that a robot of this style still exists.

"A robot will be a robot." At this moment, Alice suddenly calmed down.

The red-haired girl clenched her hands tightly, as if she had made up her mind, and said word by word:

"I actually don't really care what he is, but I can feel his kindness. If it weren't for Ange, I wouldn't be alive now, and I wouldn't have met Aaron... All the bonds are gone
