Lila grabbed her head and walked step by step to the roof of the supermarket.
"What was your past like?" Xu Yang couldn't help but ask.
Lila did not stop, the voltage of the consciousness chip kept fluctuating, and the past events were still integrated into the memory storage on the chip. She dug them out bit by bit, and each arc flashed like painful memories.
She recalled that it was like holding a thorn with her bare hands, dripping with blood.
"I am Lila Nestor, born in the Thousand Lakes area. I am a test subject of the witch transformation project, a reconnaissance sequence battle witch. I lost my legs in the battle, so I installed a prosthetic body of the legs. I lost my internal organs in the battle,
Therefore, the circulatory system and heart were replaced with mechanical parts. As time went by, the face and facial features were also cut off in order to 'match' the mechanical body, and replaced with artificial bionic faces. The whole body except the brain was prosthetic. Very
Soon, even the brain itself has been modified."
"Is it forced..."
"There is only coercion," Lila said calmly, but Xu Yang could hear resentment in it, "The terrifying coercion forced me to fulfill my duties and made me obey until I was retired and dismantled. Those limbs and torso were originally
It does not belong to me, it has been cut up and auctioned separately, leaving behind a brain filled with customized chips and capacitors. When the power is exhausted and the life support system is shut down, the brain will wither and die, and the consciousness chip will disintegrate."
"That is to say, if you are one step too late... you will be dead."
Lila also sought help, but every time she took risks and consumed the remaining power, she received only indifference. Because of this, she was especially grateful to Xu Yang's behavior, especially his previous chatter, which made her experience the long-awaited love.
care.
"If I had a throat, I would sing. I want to sing, but I can only suffer from the sense of nothingness in death with clear consciousness. This void of more than 150 million seconds is not without echoes. Rebirth
At this moment, I don’t know what to say. But I am very grateful to you...I am extremely grateful." Her tone became more and more eager.
Xu Yang is not used to this kind of fanatical love, but he can understand it.
On the roof of the building, Lila walked behind the array of advertising lights and closed her eyes.
"I was alive once... every inch of my skin belonged to me..." she murmured, "I wonder how many of them are still like this."
She looked like a dancer. Xu Yang looked at her. Just like this, he maintained a graceful posture, indulged in this moment, and was proud of his body.
There was no wind underground, and the square was silent and dark.
After a few seconds, Lila opened her eyes.
"Around where we are," she said, "through a metal containment structure with an average thickness of 35 meters, within a radius of one kilometer, there are 1034 people. The number is decreasing and is now 1032. At the same time, there are 4745 humanoids
They are moving inside the walls and ventilation shafts, passing through where we are, and turning to the northwest. They are hungry, but their nerves are extremely excited."
After a pause, Lila continued:
"My original witch ability was super-sensory. After drug stimulation and surgery, my mind was developed to a level higher than that of ordinary witches. My consciousness chip has been deeply modified so that I can be recognized as an artificial intelligence rather than a witch in any test. I
Transition to bionics and artificial intelligence in service.”
She saluted Xu Yang with a military salute.
"Lila Nestor, a bionic intelligent reconnaissance witch, neither a witch nor a machine, nor a biological mind nor an artificial intelligence, is at your service. Please accept my loyalty."
"My name is Xu Yang, and I don't need your loyalty."
Lila was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, she walked towards Xu Yang quickly and almost fell to the ground.
"I can sign a contract," she said, "to enslave me, dominate me, control me, and exploit me. I can execute the formatting program, delete all my memory and source code, and serve you in full factory condition to ensure
Absolutely no different intentions, clear all joint and several responsibilities. My self-destruct program key will be sent to you now. You can clear me out at any time if you want, just——"
She waited for several seconds, as if the program had crashed.
"——Please, just don't sell me again." She whispered.
"It's a deceptive trick." Xu Yang said.
"What?"
"I say your allegiance and your oath are not reliable."
"I'm sorry, but I have nothing to prove my loyalty."
"There is no need for 'loyalty'. As long as there is an independent will, there can be no absolute loyalty. I was educated in the school of company people, recited the company's oath more than thousands of times, and finally left the company without blinking an eye.
After all, talking about loyalty is simply unreliable."
"There are also contracts and codes..."
"These are all forms, things used to control the robot. Since you are not a real robot, you don't need these."
"So……"
"I believe that the heart is more important."
"Intentions?"
"This is what people really cannot violate. We each have the ability to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, and consciously make value judgments on various things, knowing what is good and what is bad. Everyone has what they believe and agree with. People
We cannot convince each other, nor can we be easily swayed.”
Lila was silent for a moment.
"So," Xu Yang continued in one breath, "if you don't want to rebel, even if there are countless opportunities outside to urge you to rebel, you will stand by me without hesitation. If you are always unhappy with me,
Even if there are ten thousand codes to restrict your activities and a thousand means to prevent you from rebelling, you will still find every opportunity to leave me."
"Yes, I will correct my wording -" Lila said, "Lila Nisto, with her sincerity and true belief, is willing to repay your kindness."
"That's good."
"What you said can't be heard in the company at all. The company's training for us is completely different."
"Those ideas I just had were just random thoughts I came up with at my workstation when I was at work." Xu Yang said, "My principle in getting along with people is to be casual and don't take things too seriously."
"If my mechanical face had a smile module, I would really want to smile at you. I swear to you that I used to have a face that could smile."
"It doesn't matter," Xu Yang said, "There are so many implants, automatic doctors and facial sculpting institutions. The most indispensable thing in this era is beautiful faces. On the contrary, good people are scarce."
"As long as you give me a gun, I can fight. My super-sensory power makes me an accurate shooter and I will never miss."
"Take it." Xu Yang handed the submachine gun in his hand to Lila, and then went downstairs.
The extreme trust and care made Lila feel a little dazed, and her consciousness chip kept returning empty content and confusing codes.
However, even though her whole body is mechanical, she does still have a part that can be called a heart, which makes her believe everything Xu Yang said.
Follow him, be sure to keep up with him, guard him, and never give in.
Lila quickly followed Xu Yang downstairs. As long as it was his order, she would carry it out. This was the only thing she could do and what she wanted to do most right now.
In the Pianmu District today, the rat people are looking for the main force of the company's security and are marching towards their predetermined battlefield. The non-company population is caught between the two, trembling and just looking for a good night's sleep.
Xu Yang came to the customer rest area on the first floor. There were many benches and vending machines, as well as game consoles. Heaters and fans were blowing high up. It was really comfortable to stay in this place. If it weren't for the gangsters of the Suzuki group,
Walking around, I really want to stay here for a while.
Kataki area...
It is not a livable place, nor is it a place that major companies devote all their efforts to care and protect. Only the people who really live here will care about it, and when disaster strikes, they have no power to protect themselves and can only lead the way.
To be killed.
Why did this happen?
Why have human beings become so weak? Where has the power we used for self-defense gone? Where has it been used? Can we really only buy security services, place our hopes in the company, and sit at home waiting to die?
Xu Yang sat on the bench and meditated.
The power of the masses, if used vigorously, should be able to shake the world. However, there has been no systematic theory on this before. Companies only regard people as labor force, and ordinary people don't even look down on themselves.
He looked around.
Ye Zi is addicted to games and does not care about worldly affairs.
Cui Junyou bought two cans of kimchi to eat. The smell of cheap hot sauce wafted out. Niederreiter was reading a fanzine. After a while, Lila came in. Cui Junyou caught a glimpse of Lila's head and his eyes widened.
"This..." Cui Junyou held it in for a long time and was speechless.
"Zombie." Falosa looked at the head in Lila's hand and frowned, "The zombie has a new body and is holding its own head."
Lila ignored Falosa for the time being and pointed her finger at Cui Junyou.
"Cui, I am your 'collection'" Lila said, "Do you like collecting my parts? What do you want to do to my head?"
"It's over," Niederreiter raised his head, "he's here for revenge."
After getting a new body that she can control, Lila can finally settle the score with Cui Junyou.
"No." Cui Junyou denied it, but couldn't make up the following, "I'm just curious, curious."
"You don't care about me, you're just collecting novelties." Lila clenched her fists and almost punched him.
Cui Junyou has seen too many witches out of control in the company, and he has always been extremely afraid of witches. Now that he saw Lila resurrected, his momentum suddenly faded.
"I...I'm a prosthetic doctor," Cui Junyou said, "I like all kinds of transformations, it's natural. After all, you are a rare prosthetic witch, valuable for collection...uh..."
"It's full of pain for me," Lila said. "You take pleasure in my pain, tut."
"Prostheticization has changed the fate of many people." Cui Junyou said with a persistent attitude, "If it were not for prostheticization, you would not be able to be reborn."
"Changing fate for the better or for the worse?" Lila pressed. "Using me as a sample, countless witches were stripped from their living bodies and forced to transform into replicable and mass-produced ones. And the one that carries my soul
The chip is so fragile that it will be destroyed at some point, and death warnings follow it everywhere."
Lila is still unstable... Xu Yang observes her behavior.
The consciousness chip is a cutting-edge technology. Although it can preserve human will to a great extent, and judging from the current situation, it can also retain magic power. However, it is easy to age over time and lose key information.
"It was the misuse of prosthetic companies that made you like that. The company is the source of all evil!" Cui Junyou was very excited.
"There are still many opportunities for quarrels." Xu Yang handed Circuit No. 7 to Cui Junyou, "It's time for surgery."
