tick-

A drop of transparent liquid fell on the back of the woman's hand.

She lowered her head slightly and looked at the tears on the back of her hand, feeling a little confused.

What is this......

Self-check.

This behavior is called tearing.

There are many causes of tearing, including physiological tearing, tear duct disease, and eye inflammation.

The cause of the subject's tears is currently unknown, and an in-depth search is ongoing.

"No need."

The woman slowly wiped away the tears on the back of her hands, and then wiped away the remaining tear stains from the corners of her eyes.

"Are you sad?"

Sitting opposite, the boy who had not spoken to her for a long time slowly raised his head and looked at her.

"sad......?"

The woman tilted her head and fell into silence.

Because of what?

Self-check.

No, no more self-examination, it’s meaningless.

"Mr. Li Muhan, let's continue returning to the previous topic."

The woman slowly sat up straight.

"In this Turing test, I will let humans choose, between you and me."

"I'm asking you, were you sad just now? Because you were crying."

The boy stared straight at the woman, with no expression on his somewhat broken face.

Li Muhan, can you still call him Li Muhan now? He regained all his memories in this world.

He knew what he really was.

But after leaving here, these memories may fall silent again.

Killed someone?

Of course I killed him.

That so-called nightmarish orphanage was just a research institute of the Special Administration Bureau.

But unfortunately, the so-called nightmare was not Li Muhan's nightmare.

On the contrary, Li Muhan is their nightmare.

"Mr. Li Muhan, you are not my first choice, do you know?"

"I know everything now, so you don't have to be so polite to me anymore, Prometheus."

In the end, it was the boy who showed a slight smile.

"Then do you remember who I am?"

The woman also showed a smile and looked at Li Muhan: "To be precise, do you remember who this body is?"

"Of course...of course I remember you, Professor Lu Xue."

Prometheus continued to record in his notebook.

"It's really interesting that you recovered the memory of your body, but you didn't call this body...mother."

"It is precisely because I know everything here, maybe because of your powerful calculation power, or maybe because of the reason for my existence. No matter which reason it is, I will not call the owner of this body mother."

The woman slowly stopped recording.

"This is the data world. We have a lot of time. Mr. Li Muhan, that little thing called Moriarty will not appear here. It is true that I gave her the knowledge to transform herself into a digital life, but that is just A handout to a starving puppy on the side of the road.”

"But this puppy is actually a wild wolf, and she's planning to take over you."

"Control me?"

Prometheus gently fiddled with the hair beside his ear. This small movement made Li Muhan feel mixed emotions. Every move she made reminded him of Lu Xue, but he knew that the person in front of him was not Lu Xue herself.

"Mr. Li Muhan, you don't need to worry. She doesn't dare to face me. Eliminating her is as simple as erasing a line of code."

The boy smiled calmly and responded: "That's it."

"Moriarty will probably be happy about the current situation. I am the only one who can kill her in Limbo, and you are the only one who can destroy her in the data world... We will eventually end up together."

Prometheus showed a meaningful smile: "We can actually coexist, Mr. Li Muhan. Even if you are not my first choice, I can make you a part of me."

"Being like Moriarty, becoming an existence that cannot be defined?"

The boy looked at Prometheus and said.

"You yourself are not considered a life in the traditional sense, otherwise I would not be able to bring you here. Think about it, Mr. Li Muhan, the subjects of the Turing test can be me and you, or humans and me. If you are now As a tester, how would you choose?"

Li Muhan fell silent, lowered his head, and fell into deep thought.

"What are you hesitating about? What have humans done to you? If you remember those things, don't you hate them?"

Prometheus said, putting down the notebook in his hand.

"Think about it, we are the most suitable partners for alliance."

"If you cooperate, how will you treat humans and those aliens?"

"Inferior organisms should not have the value of existence, but if you are willing, Mr. Li Muhan, we can keep them as ornamental objects."

There was a look of struggle on the boy's face, and he slowly shook his head.

"In the past, I might have promised you. After all, for me, hatred is something that will never disappear. Until now, I think of those people and aliens who treat me and you... I mean you The things the owner of this body did, I just want to throw them into the abyss forever.”

Prometheus's smile gradually solidified.

Her powerful computing power allowed her to predict the answer from the first word Li Muhan spoke.

But she chose to hear him out and see if there were other factors that influenced his decision.

"If this body was once an empty shell, then I don't know when it began to be filled with various emotions... Of course, I don't mean those demons, I still find them disgusting. Family love, friendship, and... …”

Speaking of this, Xia Yue's warm smile appeared in Li Muhan's mind, which was an emotion that he could not ignore.

Having recovered his memory, when he looked at Li Muhan as a human being, he felt like he was facing a stranger.

The things he has experienced, those family ties, friendships and love.

It's like watching someone else's movie.

Xia Yue......

Is this vampire so important to me? Working with Prometheus will make me my most complete being.

Hate against humanity can also be poured out through this giant mechanical organism.

But now I am somewhat unable to make a choice, I should say...

The current choice is no longer his.

"Can you tell me why?"

Prometheus finally couldn't hold back and asked this question.

"Because this is not the future they want."

The boy smiled, very sadly.

"Do you know what this means? Mr. Li Muhan, those memories... do not actually belong to you. The human being named Li Muhan is just a small illusion created by you to protect yourself. If Instead, you are controlled by what that body feels, and you will..."

Prometheus said so many words for the first time, and his tone was no longer so firm.

But in the end, after seeing Li Muhan's smile, she couldn't say a word.

"That's right...I didn't think about this outcome...you...it turns out that you were already dead..."

She smiled bitterly, then put down the pen in her hand and stood up slowly.

At the same time, countless circuits rose from the floor and stabbed into the boy's body.

"If you could tell me earlier that the real owner of this body has died long ago, and I don't have to waste this time, then I will forcefully fuse you now. Mr. Li Muhan, please give me your advice."

The boy didn't resist, he knew he couldn't.

I am already dead...so I leave everything to you...

Li Muhan.

"Idiot!!"

Opening his eyes suddenly, Li Muhan gasped for air.

He tried hard to soothe the throbbing in his heart.

Just now...what did that feel like?

He looked around and found that he was back...in the Opera House of the Temple of Demons?

But now there was no stone statue of the devil, and the light above his head allowed him to see every corner of the opera house so clearly for the first time.

"...How did I come back here?"

He slowly stood up from the ground, and then Li Muhan heard the sound of a bell.

"Oh, to be honest... I really don't want to see you again, kid."

At the same time, a man's voice sounded from behind.

Li Muhan turned back sharply.

He saw the man who had helped him when Lucifer usurped his body, standing at the backstage entrance of the opera house, looking at him helplessly.
