He glanced at Spiatus, then lowered his head to look at the boy lying there, as if he couldn't get enough of it, his eyes showed emotions that Spiatus couldn't understand.
Spiatus didn't ask him for an answer. He withdrew his gaze and paused as he glanced downstairs.
Human beings evacuate cities destroyed by war, and the remains of these cities are occupied by robots. Not only military robots, but also household robots, security robots, traffic robots, etc., among which a group are dog-type search robots designed to look like police dogs.
They are very powerful and can work perfectly with military robots to help them search areas outside the scanning range.
Several dog-type search robots appeared downstairs. They were close to the ground, as if they had discovered something, and raised their heads to send out a signal to summon their companions.
The signal is very loud, just like the howl of a real police dog when it spots an enemy.
Before the lingering sound could be heard, dozens, dozens... countless black spots appeared at the end of the street, densely packed like a tide, rushing toward the building.
Hope, who also saw this scene, turned pale. He finally couldn't stand anymore. He passed by Spiatus and wanted to run to the boy, but was grabbed.
"Bai Ye...Bai Ye!"
Hope yelled in desperation. The hand restraining him was like an iron hoop. He could only shout on the spot: "Bai Ye, calm down - the signal source of your left eye has been leaked!! Your position has been exposed!"
!Run!!!!”
The boy's left eye is faintly red, and if you listen carefully, there is an ominous sound of beeping.
But he turned a deaf ear to the movement below, the abnormalities in his left eye, and the invisible teacher's reminders.
He only has eyes for his enemy who killed his master.
"Bang!"
The rooftop door was knocked open, and Hope's eyes were splitting. At that moment, he burst out with strength and was able to temporarily throw Spiatus away.
Spiatus raised his eyebrows slightly, not surprised or angry, just calmly holding him back.
But this time he couldn't break free.
Several dog-type search robots rushed towards the boy. One stepped on his legs and picked him up on his back, and began to bite the shield jacket on his body. The other two grabbed one of his feet each and quickly killed him.
The soles of his feet were torn from his body.
There was no smell of blood in the air, only a very light bitter smell, like lard soaked in bile.
The boy's hands remained motionless, and no external force interfered with his aim.
On the contrary, because he realized that his death was approaching, his eyes became more determined.
"call out--"
A boy named Jing Baiye fired the last shot of his life.
The bullet cut through the air, flew a full distance of 1,400 meters, and accurately shot into the left eye of the robot holding the armband, shattering the 8 mm diameter main control chip underneath.
The boy showed a relieved smile. The next second, he released his hands and the sniper rifle in his hand fell from the sky.
"white night!!!"
The boy is surrounded by dozens of canine-type search robots.
The shielding coat on his back was bitten open, exposing his pale skin. The canine-shaped search robot bit down and grabbed a very thin piece of artificial biological dressing with its sharp teeth, tearing it from the back of his neck to his lumbar spine, and then bit it again
He grabbed the back of his neck and bit his neck off.
The boy's head rolled to the side.
Without the support of the connecting column below, the back shell and hair of his head fell off, and the eyeball of his left eye fell out of the socket. Behind the eyeball was a wire as thin as silk, connected to a gray chip that was smaller than the main control chip.
Hope's legs went weak and he couldn't shout anything. At this time, Spiatus let go of his hand and let him kneel to the ground.
He stretched out his hand, which was shaking, and held the boy's face.
It feels similar to human skin, but is more delicate and cold, with no warmth to the touch.
His face was pressed against the remaining soft metal, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised - he showed a smile before he died.
"white night……"
Hope closed his eyes in pain, but there was nothing in his eyes. No matter how painful he was, he couldn't shed a single tear.
Spiatus looked down at the corpse at his feet... No, that couldn't be called a corpse at all.
It can only be described as a pile of broken parts. A tiny flash of electricity flashed through it, and then blew away with a gentle blow of the wind.
Spiatus bent down, picked up the left eyeball, and gently rubbed the chip with his fingers.
This is a game he set. The place where humans are inside the barrier, the abandoned city with only robots outside the barrier, the character NPCs, the robot NPCs, and the direction of some plots... are all set by him.
The only exception is one of the characters, who was only half-designed.
That character has been in the training camp since he can remember. Because he always failed to meet the standards in the assessment, he lived in the worst room with a bunch of people who also failed to meet the standards.
He treasured the picture album thrown to him by the caregiver and was extremely curious about the outside world.
He was taken out of the training camp by a man with an injured eye. He had a home for the first time, but their home was destroyed time and time again, so they always wandered in different places.
Because of their longing for the sky, they headed to the northernmost border. He climbed all the way up the glacier. As he got closer and closer to the sky, he heard the teacher calling him.
Then just like the game, two different options are put there.
Should we continue going up or go down?
There is no right or wrong answer to this important choice, but different choices may turn him into two people.
Two people who are the most similar and yet the most different.
"——Are you also a 'Jing Baiye'?"
The surrounding scenes gradually became blurred and distorted, with robots, buildings, the sky... disappearing one after another. Spiatus looked at Hope, who was still clinging to the remains of Jingbaiye. He, named Hope, was the last to disappear.
"It's a pity that I don't want to go down."
He whispered, repeating the answer he had given in the past.
"It didn't happen in the past, and it won't happen in the future."
The game screen disappeared, Spiatus took off his helmet, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside.
He likes to live in very high places. Even in Japan where there are many earthquakes, he found a way to buy the twin-tower skyscraper that is said to be the closest to heaven.
He thought he would like it as much as he did, so he bought him a high-rise apartment in a high-end tower as a gift.
...It's a pity that until now, he has not moved in, and he doesn't even mention it anymore.
"Meow~"
Moni's cry sounded, and Spiatus turned back to look at the gray kitten playing with a cup on the table, and found that it was not the cat that was barking. He realized that it was the ringtone of his cell phone, so he walked to the desk and picked up the cell phone.
He glanced at the call notification and then answered: "Belmode?"
"Boss." Belmode shouted, "Ley plans to go to the United States and he bought a ticket for tomorrow."
"knew."
Spiatus held his mobile phone and while communicating with Belmode, he walked back to the window and looked down at the scenery below.
"By the way, Belmod, I have something to trouble you with. Now, with the highest level of authority I have given you, send a notification to all members through the organization's intranet."
"——As long as I find an undercover agent and provide clear evidence, I will meet him in person and let him become the boss's exclusive guard."
"besides……"
He added in a gentle tone: "Inform the members of the Boston Sanatorium to stop taking the medicine for Mr. Akai, who injured Rum's eye thirteen years ago... It's time for him to wake up."
