The ruins were now filled with disassembled parts of the bionic people, and the ground was dyed red with artificial bl-ood.
Such a horrible and bloo-dy scene, if it was seen by ordinary human beings, they would be scared to death immediately.
However, it seemed ordinary for Jiu Shu, he calmly looked at Number Four who was leaning against the wall of the ruins.
“Because I’ve never seen your true identity, so I’m easy to deceive.”
Jiu Shu’s smiling face made Number Four’s brain go blank, and even his heart stopped beating for a split second.
“No, no, I don’t mean that.”
At this moment, Number Four didn’t have the cold cruelty that he had when he killed the others just now, and his face turned pale as he attempted to explain.
He didn’t even bother to wipe the blo-od from his face.
He was really scared.
Afraid that Jiu Shu would leave him because of it.
“What did it mean?” Jiu Shu asked slowly and methodically in return.
Number Four suddenly caught his breath and fell silent.
He knew that paper couldn’t cover fire, but he didn’t expect the moment of exposure to come so quickly that he was caught off guard and didn’t have time to make any preparations.
He also didn’t know how to explain.
Because he did try to deceive Jiu Shu again by claiming that Jiu Shu wouldn’t notice.
Extremely despicable.
As Jiu Shu looked at Number Four, who was so anxious that his eyes were filled with tears, he laughed softly.
Reaching out his hand, he wiped the bloo-d from his face.
“Okay, don’t get excited, in fact I have long seen it, I just didn’t want to say it explicitly.”
Jiu Shu’s beautiful eyebrows arched slightly, his smile as gentle as ever.
“I’ve been waiting for you to take the initiative to tell me your true identity.”
Number Four looked at the smile on Jiu Shu’s face with fascination for a while before coming back to his senses, and lowered his head guiltily and forlornly at his words.
Not daring to look directly into Jiu Shu’s penetrating eyes, he only dared to look at Jiu Shu’s fine white fingertips.
Every part of Jiu Shu was perfect.
Compared to it, he was too imperfect.
“I’m sorry, I’m just too scared.”
Even though he had become an AI that could control an entire city, he still had a deep sense of unease.
He was always afraid that Jiu Shu would leave him.
After all, he was only a bionic human created by humans, unable to live a normal life like a real human.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a real human or not,” Jiu Shu stroked Number Four’s head soothingly; his hair felt good to the touch.
“Because it’s you I’m in love with, so it doesn’t matter who you are. I know you’re worried, so no matter how many times I have to say it, I will. I promise you that I’ll never leave you in this lifetime, and we’ll be together forever until my lifespan comes to an end.”
Number Four stared at Jiu Shu in a daze, these incredibly sweet words of love made his heart feel like it was filled with cotton, a soft mess.
Although Jiu Shu had said that he loved him countless times before, at that time he had thought that Jiu Shu didn’t know his identity, so he always harboured a sense of trepidation in his heart.
But after revealing his identity, Jiu Shu’s still gentle eyes made him realise that he was really loved.
Those lonely memories of the past, those memories of completing missions alone, of being injured and only being able to hide in a corner and wait for the repairs to be completed, of indifferently looking at people coming and going on the streets seemed to shatter in an instant.
Now everything was too good to be true.
Like a fragile beautiful dream.
“Of course it’s not a dream, do you think I would deceive you?”
Jiu Shu asked as he touched Number Four’s cold cheek.
A bionic’s body temperature was always slightly cool, a cold-blo-oded animal-like temperature that most humans disliked.
Only Jiu Shu never found the temperature revolting.
Number Four carefully held Jiu Shu’s hand, his eyes slightly red, and he revealed a child-like contented smile, “Jiu Shu won’t deceive me, I know.”
In fact, it didn’t matter even if he was lying, because the moment he heard this oath, he was already satisfied.
That beautiful dream of living with Jiu Shu until old age was already so beautiful that it intoxicated him just by hearing it.
Jiu Shu looked at the object of discipline somewhat helplessly.
He knew that a few short words could only briefly dispel his concerns, perhaps he would only truly believe his promise when a long time had passed.
“Can you tell me what’s going on with the main body right now?”
After pacifying Number Four, Jiu Shu still wanted to find Zero Three’s main body.
After all, it wasn’t a solution to keep splitting up like this.
Looking at the densely packed red dots on the system panel that were pouring in the direction of the lower city, Jiu Shu got a bit of a headache.
Each body of consciousness had the memories of the original body, the personality of the original body, seriously counting up, each of them was the object of discipline.
Both their love and possessiveness towards him were the same. If the division wasn’t resolved quickly, he was afraid that they would really ki-ll each other.
Thinking of this, Jiu Shu looked towards the several consciousnesses in the ruins that had been taken apart for parts, and his expression grew more and more helpless after seeing that there were still consciousnesses among them that hadn’t lost consciousness.
“By the way, you have to fix them up in a while you know?”
Although most of the bionics in the lower city were old models that didn’t have the ability to repair themselves, as long as the chips weren’t damaged, they could be repaired and reborn again.
Number Four lowered his eyes to meet Three’s still rolling eyes, and the two equally conscious bodies both gave each other looks of hatred.
Although he was tempted to just get rid of this redundant body of consciousness for good, he had to nod under the spectatorship of Jiu Shu.
Signaling that he knew.
He would fix them all.
“The main body should still be in the factory right now.” Number Four obediently answered Jiu Shu’s earlier question.
“When the explosion is over, the main body will come out on its own.”
Upon hearing this, Jiu Shu looked at the old factory not far away with a somewhat gloomy expression. The explosions were going on and on, with no sign of stopping in sight.
Although he knew that nothing should happen to Zero Three, Jiu Shu was still inevitably a little worried.
Number Four could see Jiu Shu’s worry, and his mood was a little complicated.
On the one hand, he was happy because Jiu Shu loved him and cared about his well-being, but on the other hand, he felt jealous because of the split between his main body and his conscious body.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Number Four comforted Jiu Shu.
It was best if something could happen.
The main body that was so incompetent and caused Jiu Shu to almost get hurt had lost his qualifications to be the main body.
It was only right that a new one should be chosen from among them, the consciousness bodies, to be the main body.
Thinking like this, No. 4 blocked Jiu Shu’s line of sight to No. 3.
It was because Number Three had a face that fit the contemporary aesthetic of humans.
It was a bit regrettable that he didn’t rip his face off just now.
It should be fine to do it when Jiu Shu couldn’t see it in a while.
“Thinking of something bad?”
Jiu Shu was helping Number Four bandage the break at his arm and glanced at the silent Number Four.
“No.” Creeped out, Number Four withdrew his gaze from looking at Number Three and continued his silent demeanour.
“Stop fighting amongst yourself.”
Jiu Shu calmly stepped to the side to help up Number Three, who was missing a limb.
In fact, several of the bionic human remains next to Three were still conscious, they were just all pretending to be dead.
“Or I’m going to get angry.”
Jiu Shu’s tone was flat, but it contained a meaning that made the hearts of the group jump, and they all instantly quieted down.
“Okay.” The only one who could speak, Number Four, spoke carefully, not daring to expose the jealousy in his heart again.
It couldn’t be helped, the possessiveness in their bones made it so that they could barely restrain their jealousy when their main body wasn’t disconnected, but now that they were disconnected, there was absolutely no way they could treat each other as the same person.
They would only feel that the other party was the one who was about to compete with them for Jiu Shu, and they couldn’t tolerate it.
“Then can you obediently return to the body’s control in a while?”
“Of course, Jiu Shu, I’m actually not very jealous, it was just an accident just now.” Number Four racked his brain to save his image.
Because he knew that Jiu Shu didn’t like them k-illing each other.
Jiu Shu’s bandaging movement gave a start and he looked at Number Four, “Really?”
“Of course, what just happened was just an accident.” Number Four pretended to smile gently.
And at that moment, Lian Qi had already arrived near the old factory in the lower city.
Although she was originally looking for Jiu Shu, after seeing the smoke from the explosion at the old factory, she still wanted to come here to take a look.
She knew that the Resistance’s stronghold was here.
With an explosion of this magnitude, Cory must have met a bad outcome.
After all, having been lovers for so long, Lian Qi was still inevitably worried.
Looking despondently at the fire through the sky not far away, Lian Qi fixed her mind and prepared to continue to look for Jiu Shu.
She couldn’t do much in this situation now, so she had to at least protect Jiu Shu.
But before Lian Qi could move, she heard strange noises coming from the large ruined alley next to the old factory and hurriedly hid in fear.
She knew how she had managed to make this journey, not long after she got off the subway, the whole city was in chaos.
The subway was crowded with people heading towards the lower city, as far as the eye could see it was as vast as a tidal wave.
And in just a few minutes, these people started to fight again for no apparent reason.
Humans were fine with each other, although she didn’t know what they were concerned about. Their fights were mostly just punches and kicks, knocking each other unconscious until they lost their ability to move.
There was no blo-odshed.
Between the bionic humans it was extraordinarily scary.
As if they knew that the other party couldn’t die, they tore each other’s skin and limbs with a ghastly expression, and without mercy, Lian Qi’s legs went limp at the scene, she didn’t know how she walked out of the subway station.
It was only in a trance that she was drawn to walk by the firelight of this old factory.
“I’m the only one who is the most suitable to be the main body!”
The bionic man with a low, magnetic voice was originally a male domestic bionic voice best suited for lulling a small child to sleep, but now it had become filled with an aura of brutality and bloo-dshed.
Lian Qi leaned against the corner of the wall and saw a clearly domestic type android in the alley with a side profile adorned with crimson, viscous artificial bl-ood, and lips curved almost to the ear.
It seemed the bl-ood of his own kind extremely excited him.
“So you can go to hell!”
The bionic man let out a low laugh of pleasure, sick and twisted.
Lian Qi’s face went pale; she covered her mouth, not daring to make a single sound.
She knew this was the AI named Adam, and knew he had gone insane.
But it never occurred to her that Adam would be this crazy.
She couldn’t hide from them even if she fled to the lower city.
Although she knew that they were all just bionics and not humans, that human-like appearance still give her terrible hallucinations.
It was like witnessing a mur-der scene with your own eyes, and every time they fought among themselves, it made Lian Qi cold and sweaty.
And compared to those homicidal maniac characters that she had only seen in movies, these Adam’s were even more frightening.
Because Lian Qi could tell that they were purely enjoying the k-illings.
So brutal that they even ki-lled themselves.
It was as if nothing else but k-illing could give them pleasure.
For the first time, Lian Qi began to believe what her boyfriend Cory had said earlier.
Adam would destroy the world.
There was no possibility of any peaceful coexistence with such a crazy AI.
Adam harbored madness and tyranny in his very nature, and there was no way to communicate.
After witnessing the crazy Adams roaming around the city, Lian Qi had already deeply realised the terror of Adam and also understood that if Adam was allowed to grow like this, perhaps sometime in the future he would really turn all the humans in the world into his puppets.
Ending human civilization.
Thinking about this, Lian Qi became more and more creeped out and resolved to leave the Seventh Metropolis once she found Jiu Shu, exposing everything about Adam to the outside world.
But that was for later, the priority now was to stay alive.
Lian Qi peeked into the alley, praying that she could escape the clutches of the two Adam’s.
In the alley, the fight between the two Adam’s had come to an end.
The victor kicked the loser at his feet, and seemingly interested in what was on the loser’s face he crouched down, his fingers searching for something on the loser’s face.
Lian Qi’s eyes widened as she tried to see exactly what the victor was doing, but her hand gripping the wall made an unintentional rustling sound.
The victor instantly raised his head and looked in Lian Qi’s direction.
The victor who was missing half of his face had an eyeball that clearly didn’t belong to him placed in his eye socket, thick bl-ood was flowing down his eye socket, looking at it was painful to the extreme.
The victor, however, stood up without a care in the world and walked over, revealing the loser behind him who was missing an eyeball.
It was horrifying.
Lian Qi was so shocked that she almost collapsed.
He’s gonna get mad…Thank you for the chapter!
