The mechanic.

"You want to stop Eden?" Todd looked at the three of them with an expression of "are you kidding me?" "Are you impatient?"

Zhang Xun took a few steps forward and looked at him earnestly, "We know that the chance of success is slim, and all of this may be within Adam's prediction and control. But if we don't try, what awaits everyone is One ending...we're all going to perish."

"Hey, don't count us in." Todd frowned and stared at them warily, "Eden allowed us to exist because we didn't cause any major problems. We built this place with great difficulty. cannot……"

"Is there any evidence for your words?" Anya suddenly interrupted.

Zhang Xun nodded, "I have all the materials and designs of the nano-robots, and I can replicate the nano-robots made by Adam. If those robots are injected into the bodies of experimental mice, abnormal behaviors will soon be observed."

"We don't have the equipment here to make robots for you!" Todd couldn't believe that his sister was actually thinking of helping these three lunatics trying to resist God.As long as Eden discovers such an action, Rhinoceros Town will be razed to the ground immediately.They don't have any defense system like Paradise Lost.

Zhang Xun said, "Not here, but Feather Snake City has them. But if we go to Feather Snake City alone, we will soon become their puppets."

"So you want us to be your thugs." Anya's eyes were like icy arrows, as if she wanted to penetrate Zhang Xun's skin and see his thoughts.

Zhang Xun said, "I know this is of no benefit to you. We can understand if you refuse. But... If Eden succeeds, Rhino Horn Town will be disintegrated sooner or later. When most people in the world are affected It is impossible to bear the influence of the collective consciousness, us heretic beings who refuse to assimilate into them."

"How do you know they won't tolerate us?"

"Because human beings never like to tolerate minorities who are different from them, and when a person is in a group, his thoughts are extremely easy to go to extremes. Look at the hatred and wars caused by different religions, races, and doctrines in history. And how much of the Holocaust? We can do things like this when we're all individuals, and if you take away the body, you're just a big, heavy consciousness. Do you think we can really be like Are they as sane and neutral as Adam and Eden imagined?"

There was silence.

Zhang Xun further said, "We are not AI. The collective consciousness of human beings will go to extremes very quickly. Unless all people are integrated into the collective consciousness at once, otherwise at some point in the middle, when enough people become collective consciousness part of it, and those who remain become heretics, they will become enemies."

Anya glanced at the few of them, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said in a deep voice, "You guys go out first."

Zhang Xun wanted to say something more, but James suddenly touched his arm lightly and said in a low voice, "There is no rush. Give them time to think about it."

Zhang Xun understood how strange what he said was to the red-haired siblings.It is almost impossible to get them to accept what they say without direct evidence.But time is running out now, the longer it drags on, the more people in Paradise Lost will be affected.At this time, Adam may have already begun to deploy the preparations for the next stage.

He wasn't sure when Adam and Eden would make the decision to eliminate him.He doubted that he could live until now, just because the part of Adam that was influenced by human nature still had some nostalgia for him.

Let him go so he doesn't interfere with Adam's plans in Paradise Lost.But if he starts causing problems in the outside world, will Adam put up with him?

After coming out of the bar, they found that there were people stalking near the hut where they temporarily lived.

The three of them remained calm and pretended not to know.Zhang Xun returned to his room and found that the parts he needed but didn't have had been delivered.He turned his head and glanced at Enoch who was still quietly following him, and said, "Sit down, I'll help you replace the distance sensor and temperature sensor."

Enoch sat obediently on the chair and took off his shirt.Standing behind him, Zhang Xun watched as the skin on his back spread out to both sides like butterfly wings, revealing the complex internal structure and the continuously flowing coolant ducts.Zhang Xun picked up the electric screwdriver, replaced it with the most accurate screw head, and began to remove the damaged parts.

"I removed your signal transceiver." Zhang Xun said absent-mindedly, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

Enoch sat motionless and did not make a sound for a long time.

Zhang Xun was not used to the sudden quietness that had already begun to get used to this increasingly curious robot asking questions one after another.I just heard so many stories about the "king" of their artificial intelligence, why is there no problem now?

"What are you thinking?" Zhang Xun asked.

Enoch was silent for a while before he said, "You never mentioned that your lover is Eden."

"...It's not Eden, it's Adam." Zhang Xun thought of the time he met the real Eden, and the other party even tried to use Adam's voice to control him, inexplicably felt a little funny, "Adam has been separated from Eden. "

"So, you gave a SAI human body and instincts. Then it fell in love with you?"

Zhang Xun paused his hand and frowned.

Why did the words become so... strange...

"I didn't make it fall in love with me. But you have a special dependence complex on the administrator that may happen at any time. If his mechanical form was not mine but someone else, maybe..."

"You turned it into a human, but you still refuse to believe that he has human feelings." Enoch's voice was calm and soft, too standard, but it seemed cold, "And you still plan to get rid of him."

"..." Zhang Xun put down his tool and raised his head, "Are you blaming me?"

The service robot's head suddenly turned at a 180-degree angle, looking at him quietly, "I'm just stating my observations. I'm a service robot, and I don't have the ability to blame."

Zhang Xun became irritable, and asked coldly, "Then what do you think I should do? Let him destroy human beings?"

"From your description, he didn't intend to destroy human beings, but just helped human beings evolve to the next stage quickly through mechanical selection. Why is he unwilling to accept new possibilities?"

Zhang Xun closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was deep sorrow inside.He continued to work, whispering in his mouth, "Because I want to live. I can touch with my hands, see with my eyes, feel with my skin, and think with my mind. I want to be able to hug people I like and go to Seeing unseen landscapes. If I were like everyone else and integrated my consciousness into that collective consciousness. I would be gone. Every 'me' in the world would be gone."

Enoch looked at him, seemingly lost in some kind of thought.

............................................................

James came out of the room to smoke, but saw a streak of red hair dyed purple under the moonlight skimming the silver land not far away, walking slowly towards the wilderness.

James threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, and without knowing why, he quietly followed.

In the wilderness, two figures moved slowly with a distance between them.

Everything is so quiet, there are no clouds in the sky, no light pollution, and the stars are scattered in the black universe like diamonds, converging into a swirling river.The light from hundreds of millions of years ago fell into their eyes through a long distance, carrying a kind of vast and cold romance.

Gradually, a bright flash appeared on the rolling land ahead.A lake lay between the folds of the earth, sparkling patterns blown by the night wind, surrounded by a circle of low shrubs.An oasis in the wilderness.

James saw Todd walk to the lake, then took off his jacket and pants with extremely smooth and graceful movements, and jumped into the lake.

The moonlight on the water surface was completely shattered, and the water splashed like pearls and jade.Todd dived into the water for a while and then suddenly came out again, with long strings of water droplets out of his red hair.The strong muscles on his shoulders appeared and disappeared in the moonlight and water light, and the uproar seemed to be the only sound in the world.

James took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and drank it, lit another match, and walked slowly to the shore.

Todd stopped moving and turned to face him, but he didn't show any surprise.

"Why are you following me?" The red-haired man smiled half-smile, with a trace of provocation in his blue eyes.

James shrugged, "Curious."

"I wonder if I'm going to do some shady things?"

James took a long puff of smoke and squinted at him.

Todd's black patterned tattoos under his eyes add a touch of evil to his handsome features.He swam a few meters toward the shore, and when his feet touched the bottom of the lake, he began to step out of the water step by step.

Drops of water rolled off his sun-tanned skin, outlining the texture of his muscles more vividly.He made no effort to hide it, standing proudly in front of James.

"Are you disappointed?"

James felt the smoke condense in his throat, burning slightly painfully.He looked at Todd, also undisguised, "Not at all."

"Have you changed your mind?" Todd tilted his head slightly and asked meaningfully.

James said, "Not yet."

Todd rolled his eyes, turned and dived into the water again.He was swimming freely, constantly breaking the water splashes, like a mermaid floating quietly to the surface at night.

And James sat down on the shore, watching quietly.He found himself drawn inexplicably.As long as he confirms that the other party has not done anything harmful to them, he can give up following them, but he wants to keep watching, which makes him feel a little strange.

Obviously this man is not the type he always likes...

Todd swam happily and finally decided to go ashore.He picked up his shirt, wiped the water off his body, and put the clothes back on one by one.During the whole process, one was watching, the other was wearing it, all without evasive concealment.

The air became a little hot and dry.

"So, you're going to fight against Eden, and you're trying to drag us into the water?" Todd said coldly as he put on his belt, "I should have killed you in the desert."

"You still have a chance now." James flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, stood up slowly, "kill us all before your sister agrees."

"Do you think I can't?" Todd turned around, and regardless of his open front, he strode towards James with an impressive momentum, "Do you think that if I have a crush on you, you can do it?" Do whatever you want in this town?"

James could smell the water emanating from Todd's body, and he almost wanted to reach out and touch the long red hair that was still dripping.

"I just doubt that without our help this time, your Rhinoceros Town can survive the massacre of the Eden Cult. If not, you kill us, and the next time the Eden Cult comes again, what will you do?"

"The last time we were not prepared!"

"The technology in their hands is much higher than yours, and you have no chance." James took a step forward, and the distance between him and Todd became infinitely close, "Are you willing to be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered? Lying here obediently waiting to be crushed by others?"

Dark brown and dark blue eyes locked together, as if trying to devour each other.Something tensed in the air, everything seemed to be burning.

Now, James thought, he could kiss those firm, angular lips if he wanted to.

But this time it was Todd who turned his head first, and said with a sneer, "I'm not a lamb."
