Artificial blo-od was dripping and falling from the cracks of his palms.

 

Zero Three couldn’t believe what he had done.

 

He had actually exposed his worst side in front of Jiu Shu.

 

Not only his identity as a bionic human, but also that murderous and tyrannical side.

 

It was ugly and hideous to the extreme.

 

He even almost hurt Jiu Shu.

 

“You monster!”

 

Seven Two was still hanging and struggling in mid-air; he also saw Jiu Shu in the hall, and his face instantly became hopeful.

 

He was filled with fascination and trust in Jiu Shu.

 

Because Jiu Shu’s gentleness towards the bionic man didn’t seem fake at all.

 

“You were seen by Jiu Shu; you’ve been discovered, ho ho, great…”

 

Seven Two’s voice became the last straw that overwhelmed Zero Three.

 

Zero Three’s fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he didn’t even dare to look down further.

 

He was afraid to see the cold disgust in the eyes of Jiu Shu.

 

He could only back away from the railing, retreating to a place where Jiu Shu’s gaze could not reach.

 

 

And he used his palms to cover his face.

 

 

As if this could cover up everything that had just happened.

 

 

But Zero Three actually knew that this was impossible.

 

 

To be discovered was to be discovered.

 

 

Everything was going to end.

 

 

This relationship that had only started two days ago was going to end in his stupidity.

 

 

Nothing had changed from the beginning; he was still the same bionic man that no one cared about.

 

 

He would be rejected and ignored by the humans, forever alone.

 

 

The only feelings he had were the ones he had cheated himself out of.

 

 

Now it was time to give it back.

 

 

Perhaps from the beginning, he shouldn’t have hoped for so many things that bionics shouldn’t have.

 

 

Because bionics had the same greedy nature as humans, the more they had, the more they wanted.

 

 

But the more greedy they were, the more they would lose.

 

“……”

 

Zero Three lowered his head, his pitch-black eyes widened, and his pupils were hollow.

 

The aura of his body became more and more depressing and horrible, and there seemed to be uncontrollable beads of bl-ood rolling down between the fingers that covered his face.

 

 

He couldn’t tell if it was bloo-d or tears.

 

 

Seven Two was thrown aside by the emotionally broken Zero Three.

 

He struggled to get up from the ground; it was weird to see the formerly cold and tall bionic man at this moment of uncertainty.

 

 

He held onto the railing and looked down as well.

 

Instead, he only saw Jiu Shu picking up the wristwatch on the ground and observing something.

 

He didn’t notice what was happening in the corridor at the upper end of the rotten building, as Zero Three had fantasized.

 

In fact, at the height they were at now, Jiu Shu’s eyesight as a human wouldn’t be able to see everything that was happening here.

 

He could probably only see some blurred figures.

 

Seven Two was aware of this.

 

He knew that Zero Three was probably confused by his fear.

 

He didn’t notice if Jiu Shu really saw him, and then he collapsed because of that.

 

However, it was impossible for Seven Two to remind Zero Three.

 

He wished that Zero Three would hurry up and go completely crazy.

 

That way, Jiu Shu would be able to quickly recognize Zero Three’s true colors.

 

So he was prepared to say a little more to stimulate Zero Three.

 

However, before he could open his mouth.

 

As if Zero Three suddenly remembered something, he raised his eyes to look at Seven Two.

 

Seven Two froze in place the moment he met Zero Three’s eyes.

 

A twisted hopefulness appeared at this moment in those eyes that were still full of crushing emotions.

 

It was obviously the brain’s self-help after despairing to the extreme.

 

He could no longer accept the fact that he would lose Jiu Shu.

 

“It’s alright.”

 

Zero Three mumbled, “Jiu Shu just saw me; I’m a police officer; it’s normal to arrest a bionic; the wristwatch was also lost by me.”

 

He just felt guilty that he almost hurt Jiu Shu.

 

“You lie! I am your colleague, not the target of the mission! How could Jiu Shu believe you?”

 

Seven Two took a few steps back with fear on his face, looking warily at Zero Three, the madman.

 

“……”

 

At those words, Zero Three looked at the police tight uniform on Seven Two in front of him, but he just indifferently cocked his head and smiled.

 

“But… corpses don’t talk.”

 

Especially the bodies of dismantled machines.

“Time to go; the broadcast is about to start!”

 

The staff behind Jiu Shu urged.

 

After saying that, he subconsciously followed Jiu Shu’s gaze upwards.

 

He had just seen Jiu Shu looking upwards thoughtfully.

 

But there was nothing up there, only the eye-bleeding spiral corridor.

 

Jiu Shu’s gaze lingered on the hundreds of floors of corridors, seeming to see something but also seeming to be very confused.

 

In the end, he could only frown slightly and put away the wristwatch in his hand.

 

Under the guidance of the staff, he went to the place where the program was being recorded.

 

This time, the program team had probably come to this famous slum in the lower city to film the program in order to rub off on the popularity of the Jiu Shu video.

 

This place was rumored to be hiding many rebel bionics.

 

Presumably, they wanted to make Jiu Shu admit his preference for bionics again as a way to gain attention.

 

Jiu Shu could see the show’s little trick.

 

But he didn’t care.

 

Rather, it was better to say that he kind of wanted to go on the show and say that he had no prejudice against bionics.

 

That way, the inferiority complex of the object of discipline could fade away.

 

Thinking of this, Jiu Shu glanced at the wristwatch in his hand.

 

It seems to be one of those smart watches specially made by the police department.

 

Something to do with the object of discipline?

 

Jiu Shu pondered for a moment before taking out his mobile phone and sending a message.

 

[It’s only been a few hours, and I’m already missing you. [Love]]

 

Whether it was or not, it was better to send a message.

 

Lest something go wrong with the object of discipline.

 

Dingdong-

 

Amidst the sticky pool of blo-od, the mobile phone dyed red by artificial blo-od vibrated.

 

A gloved palm picked up the phone and seemed to freeze for a while after seeing the message from Jiu Shu.

 

His pupils slightly dilated, as if he couldn’t believe his eyes.

 

But then the corners of his mouth hooked up.

 

Seven Two’s widened eyes reflected the smile on Zero Three’s pale face.

 

Crazy and morbid.

 

[I, too, miss you very, very much. [Love]]

 

The text typed out on the phone was sweet and heartwarming.

 

A stark contrast to the artificial bl-ood flowing on the floor.

 

 

Jiu Shu didn’t notice.

 

He hadn’t lost Jiu Shu.

 

Such a surprise caused the gloomy look on Zero Three’s face to be swept away.

 

It was only when he saw the message Seven Two had sent to all the bionic people within two kilometers of the vicinity before he lost consciousness that the smile at the corner of his mouth instantly twisted.

 

In his message, Seven Two had written out everything that had just happened—everything that he didn’t want Jiu Shu to know.
