[Detroit] No Paradise

The sound of the door being kicked open against the wall was deafening, the whole warehouse shook, and dust fell from the ceiling, looking gray under the light.

Hank pulled out a gun behind Joshua and pointed it into the warehouse.

After Joshua kicked open the door, he walked in generously, looked around, turned and said to the two people behind him, "No one."

There are only neat rows of bionics in the warehouse. They have not been activated and can only stand there quietly, like lifeless sculptures.Joshua had been on the battlefield for a long time, his eyes were poisonous and his ears were sharp. He could tell if anyone was breathing or moving. He said there was no one there.

But the absence of humans does not mean that there are no bionics. After all, the latter do not need to breathe, and they are like dead objects when they are not activated.

Connor's cold eyes quickly surveyed the warehouse, and then quickly walked towards the bionics placed in the corner.

Hank also followed, searching among the other androids.

Joshua didn't know what they were looking for, so he simply found a box in the warehouse and sat on it.He wants to smoke as soon as he is free, but now there is no cigarette for him, so he can only take the lighter he brought from Hank's house, and play with it once and for all.But his eyes never left Connor.

He suddenly thought of those bionics dancing enchanting pole dances in the Hall of Eden, if the bionic in front of him in uniform, with a straight tie and a cold and ascetic expression also had this function...

Just imagining it in his mind like this made him feel a little dry.

Before he could think any further, the situation in the warehouse suddenly changed.

A female android hiding in an inactive android suddenly launched an attack on Connor, and on the other side, Hank was also attacked by another female android.The silent warehouse was suddenly filled with the sound of fierce fighting. Joshua was slightly taken aback and jumped off the box, but he didn't go up to help immediately.

Hank was punched in the face by the short-haired woman, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.He turned his head and saw Joshua standing there motionless as if he was watching a play. He almost gave him a bucket of popcorn to chew, and was immediately angry and speechless: "Joshua! What are you in a daze for?"

If this kid joins the battle, the mere two bionics are here to give away his head.

Joshua was silent for a while, ran to Hank and stretched out his arms to help him block another punch from the short-haired female bionic man, then turned around and said to Hank with an innocent expression: "You didn't tell me that the murderer was a woman. "

"...Damn it, don't tell me now, you still have the idea of ​​a good man who doesn't hit women!" Hank was really speechless, he wished he could grab the steel pipe on the shelf beside him and knock this brat's head off. skull. "Do you want the thirty dollars!"

"Please, I never get rough on women, this is a principled question..." Before Joshua could finish speaking, he was punched in the face by the short-haired woman.The strength of bionics does not distinguish between men and women. This punch was not light. Joshua's body was tilted, and then he looked at the short-haired woman in surprise: "Not bad, this strength."

"Damn it, this is a bionic man who strangled an adult male, of course it is very powerful!" Hank cursed this guy who would hang up when he saw a woman, and rushed up to wrestle with the short-haired woman.

However, he was old after all, and he was kicked away again after a few moves, but this time, Joshua caught him and greeted him with concern: "Are you okay?"

"..." This sentence sounded like sarcasm to Hank.

On the other side, Connor and Tracy also fought quite fiercely, but in general, Connor, who is a military bionic man, has the upper hand. His movements are clean and neat, and his offensive and defensive advances and retreats are very organized. pleasing to the eye.After the short-haired female android dealt with Hank and the aboveboard paddling Joshua, she immediately went to help Trish.

Just as Connor pushed Trish to the shelf, he was hit by a sap from a short-haired woman who came around behind him.This made him stagger and fall unsteadily to the ground.

In the case of unarmed, it is obviously difficult to play one against two.

After temporarily knocking down Connor, the two held hands and ran towards the fence.Hank pushed Joshua: "Go and stop them!"

Joshua stood up, caught up with the two androids in two or three steps, and stopped in front of them.It was only then that Joshua noticed the two holding hands. He was slightly taken aback, obviously not expecting such a development.

"You're not a policeman, and you're not someone who controls your life." Tracy looked at Joshua who was standing in front of them, and the daunting and dangerous aura on him prevented her from acting rashly, and said calmly, "There's no need to go to this place." water."

Joshua didn't do anything, just stood there quietly, looking thoughtfully at the hands they held together: "Are you lovers?"

"Yes." Tracy admitted generously. "Please get out of the way."

Joshua still didn't move, he stood there, as if he was thinking about something, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.Connor and Hank have already rushed over, forming a siege with Joshua, trapping the two female bionics in the middle.It's just that Joshua's position is a little strange, which makes the encirclement not very strong.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, the two bionics rushed towards Joshua decisively.

"Stop them!" Connor, who had no time to stop, spoke to Joshua for the first time.

Joshua's attention was immediately attracted by Connor, and he looked at Connor. The latter looked a little disheveled because of the fierce fight just now, and his face was still expressionless, but Joshua looked at him. There was some anxiety.He suddenly wanted to ask Connor viciously, if he stopped them, would he be rewarded.

This momentary distraction caused the two bionics to bypass him and climb up the fence quickly.

"Oh, what the hell are you doing, Joshua?" Hank felt like he was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage, and now he began to wonder if Joshua just didn't hit women, or was on her side unconditionally.

Joshua turned around and looked at the two androids. They had quickly climbed over the fence and landed on the street on the other side of the fence.Before Joshua could respond, Connor had already picked up the gun that Hank had dropped on the ground, pinned it to his waist, rushed up, and began to climb the fence without saying a word.For him, completing the mission and catching the anomalous android is the primary goal, and everything else is secondary.

"Oh, Jesus Christ!" Hank felt his head start to hurt again, like a thousand people were shooting frantically in his head.Originally, one Connor was enough to give him a headache, but now there is an extra Joshua, who was in a daze for the whole process, which made him feel that his attendance this time was probably one of the most difficult tasks.

Seeing Connor chasing after him, Joshua also began to climb the fence without the slightest hesitation.

Outside the fence was still pouring rain, and the rainstorm continued to hit the streets of Detroit at night, splashing countless water splashes.

It was late autumn at this time, and as a city with a temperate climate close to Canada, the temperature in Detroit had already dropped to about [-] degrees Fahrenheit at this time. It had not yet entered winter, but the biting cold was already prohibitive, and no pedestrian on the street could see it. Not to mention the perennially deserted streets and alleys behind the warehouse.

The bionic man's physical strength seemed to be endless, and he ran at high speed without being affected by the heavy rain and the bleak wind.

Joshua followed closely behind Connor, but he always kept a distance of about 20 meters. After all, he was made of flesh and blood. The heavy rain fell on him and his vision was seriously affected. In this bad weather, he could at most Can only maintain the same running speed as the android.

After running continuously at high speed in the winding streets for several minutes, they finally came to a relatively open environment, and the figures of two female bionics appeared clearly in front of them, without any cover.

Connor took out his gun without hesitation, the rainwater continuously slid down his face and even flowed into his eyes, but it didn't affect him in the slightest.There was no emotion in those eyes, colder than a rainy night in late autumn in Detroit.

Joshua saw Connor pull out his gun from behind him, his heart suddenly tightened, and a strong thought spread like an explosion in his heart——

Can't let him shoot.

Absolutely not.

"Stop!!" Joshua's voice was faster than his thinking, and he threw the only thing he could throw at Connor's hand holding the gun without hesitation—a small metal lighter.The short distance of ten meters, under the cover of heavy rain and night, seemed to be separated by a huge barrier, and even shouts were drowned out by the sound of rain.

"boom!"

The gunfire still rang out, and the lighter was one step too late after all.

The sharp part of the metal lighter hit the back of Connor's right hand holding the gun. The gun came out of his hand, and a streak of blue blood splashed on the ground, which was quickly washed away by the rain.

Joshua ran to Connor's side and looked in the direction of the two female bionics.

Too late.

Joshua watched as the short-haired female bionic fell to the ground, her chest was pierced by bullets, blue blood flowed out continuously, and new blood flowed out after being washed by the rain.She turned her head to look at Trish, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say a word, and those smart eyes lost their color forever.

"No...no!" Tracy hugged her body, and under the washing of the rain, her lover's body cooled down almost immediately, not even leaving her with the last trace of warmth.

Such a scene seemed to freeze suddenly in Joshua's eyes.

The raindrops kept falling, but his world seemed to stand still suddenly, as if someone had suddenly strangled his throat, making him unable to breathe.

He suddenly remembered that when he was on the battlefield, he also watched his comrades who depended on each other die in front of him like this.That kind of despair and pain once again made him fall into the ice cellar on this cold rainy night.

Tracy slowly stood up from the ground, her face was covered with water, rain and tears mixed together, it was difficult to distinguish.

"When that man killed another Trish, I knew I would be next." She spoke suddenly, her tone so calm that she didn't seem to have just lost her lover. "I was terrified and I begged him to stop, but he wouldn't. So I grabbed him by the throat and pushed...until he stopped struggling."

"Yes, I killed him, but I just want to protect myself." She said, her tone was still calm, but under the calm, there was deep despair and helplessness. "I want to live, to return to my lover's side, longing for her to embrace me again, to make me forget everything about human beings...forget their sweaty smell and foul language."

"But you...you took her away from me..."

"I love her……"

"I love her!"

She seemed to swear an oath with her life, and picked up the gun that fell on the ground.

Joshua subconsciously moved towards Connor, but instead of shooting at them, she pointed the gun at her chin without hesitation.

"boom!"

The blue blood mist exploded in the air, like flowers blooming on a rainy night, and the muffled sound of the corpse falling to the ground was like a sigh, bemoaning the short flowering period.

It seemed that there was only the sound of the rainstorm, and Connor and Joshua stood there motionless.After a while, Joshua turned his head to look at Connor standing behind him. The latter's LED light was still flashing yellow. He seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of him, and he didn't react for a while.

"Is that what you want?" Joshua asked.His voice was full of suppressed anger, and he suddenly felt that his understanding of androids was too one-sided.He has come into contact with very few bionics, John, Connor, and these two female bionics. What he feels in John and the two female bionics are the delicate emotions and rich emotions that are indistinguishable from human beings. After people even fell in love with the same sex, he even felt a little joyful, but at this moment, the ruthless Connor in front of him felt more like a machine to him.

Joshua didn't like machines, and didn't like the feeling of being so cold that it seemed lifeless, so when he saw Connor for the first time, he was disgusted with him.

And now, Joshua's mind was filled again with this antipathy, which had been suppressed by another similar feeling of affection.Even in this cold rainy night, he still felt a fire burning inside him, almost burning his sanity to ashes.

"I..." Connor looked a little confused, he looked at the corpses of the two bionics lying on the ground, then at Joshua, and hesitantly said after a long while: "I don't know, I just Complete my mission."

"Complete the mission..." Joshua stood in the rain and looked at him. After a long time, he walked to the side of the two corpses, picked up the gun that was stained with blue blood, and asked softly: "Seeing such a thing happen, Do you regret the shot you just fired?"

"..." Connor didn't answer Joshua's question, he stood there silently, the LED light kept flashing yellow.

Joshua walked towards Connor slowly with a gun in his hand. His eyes were like the eyes of a wolf in the gray night, shining with a dark green light, hiding anger and violence: "You won't have any empathy, Is it right?"

"..." The LED light turned around twice, and then turned back to a calm blue color again. Connor looked directly into the wolf-like eyes of the other party, and said flatly, "Yes."

"You have no feelings."

"I'm a machine, and my emotions are the result of a programming error."

"You mean, the love between these two girls is just the product of a program error?"

"Yes, they are abnormal androids."

Joshua nodded, as if accepting the explanation, and his expression softened.

He suddenly laughed at himself, and slowly raised the gun in his hand, aiming the black muzzle at Connor's forehead, which was bottomless, like a hidden vortex of death.

"So, normal android, can you feel the fear of death?" He said as he walked forward, the muzzle of the gun resting on Connor's forehead.

Connor looked at the dangerous human being in front of him. Obviously, the other party's mood was extremely unstable. Judging from his violent tendencies, there was a high possibility that something beyond his control would happen next.

The LED light on Connor's forehead turned yellow, and the memory was uploaded quickly.

"I'm not going to die, and I'm certainly not going to be scared." It only took a split second to upload the memory, and his LED light turned blue again.The word death was too far away for him.

"So... what will happen if I pull the trigger?" Joshua seemed to be infected by Connor's calmness, his tone calmed down, and he asked slowly. "Nothing? Going unconscious? Or is there an android heaven?"

When he said the last sentence, even Joshua himself thought it was funny, the corners of his mouth curled up, but this smile was not warm at all.The cold rain slid down his face, and the smile on his face was colder than the rain.

Connor looked at the human with a gun in front of him. The complex emotions in the eyes of the other party made him unable to analyze the emotions for a while.He suddenly felt some strange emotions, like hesitation—but it was only for a moment, and he didn't know whether it was a problem with his own program or a legitimate system delay caused by prolonged rain.

His eyes were still clear and empty, shining crystal-like light and cold metal texture in the cold rain.It has a human appearance, but it is an out-and-out cold-blooded machine——

"There is no heaven for androids."

These words seemed to be ironic, but Joshua suddenly felt that the existence of this—this thing in front of him was the greatest irony to him.

Look what a weird thing he likes?

He slowly put the gun down, threw it aside casually, and smiled: "I don't like to use guns, because I think it's too fast to kill people with guns."

"Killing should be done slowly. After all, people have lived for so many years, and it's a pity that they are gone in a second."

Such a sentence full of murderous intent was softly spoken by Joshua, and his ending sound even rose slightly, with a kind of creepy playfulness.

The LED light on Connor's forehead turned yellow again, and he snatched the gun thrown by Joshua on the ground without the slightest hesitation, but was caught by Joshua when his hand touched the cold gun. Step on it.

The sound of the bionic bone being crushed was almost inaudible in the sound of the rain, but it clearly reached Joshua's ears.

He looked expressionlessly at Connor who fell into the rain, at the LED lights on his forehead that instantly turned red, and his right hand, which was completely unrecognizable from the prototype, and that hand had turned white. The simulated skin faded away, leaving only the cold surface of the machine.

Just an hour ago, these hands were still so beautiful, they could be called the most perfect creation, and the image of him playing with a coin was clearly played back in front of Joshua's eyes again.

Joshua lowered his eyes, looked at Connor's other hand that was still intact, raised his foot, and stepped on it firmly and slowly.

Connor snorted and trembled slightly.

Joshua knelt down beside him, looked at his face soaked in the rain, reached out and squeezed his chin, forcing him to look at her.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

Connor looked back at him coldly, the rain fell into those beautiful eyes, circled around and rolled out again, like unstoppable tears.

"Does it hurt?" Joshua repeated the question stubbornly, even though he knew the answer to the question in his heart.But he still kept asking like a child with a strong thirst for knowledge.

How can a machine hurt?

They have no soul, no heaven, all they have are programs, just obey orders, just complete tasks.

Joshua didn't wait for Connor's answer. He lowered his eyes and gently hugged the temperatureless bionic.This was the first time he hugged him, and it was also the first time he felt the thin body and cold body temperature of this bionic man.

"If you were human..." he whispered in his ear.

The sound of fingers piercing into the body was so slight that it could be ignored. The skin of the bionic man seemed so fragile to Joshua, even more fragile than a human being. His hand pierced Connor like a layer of paper In his body, he accurately grasped the beating heart.

Bionic human heart, pulse regulator.

Joshua tightened his palms, feeling the beating heart slowly deforming in his hands.He keeps telling himself that it's not human, it has no heart, it's just a machine.But the anger can't be resolved along with it.

Joshua exerted a little force, and the heart burst directly in his hand. A dull sound came from Connor's body. He trembled violently as if he felt pain, and stretched out his hand to push the crazy thing on his body. Human beings, although he has lost his energy, he doesn't have much strength.

Such an action enraged the man who had lost his mind even more.

Joshua pressed the man in his arms to the ground as if he had suddenly gone crazy, and desperately tore off his uniform, exposing his chest cavity that had been dyed blue by the dye.

Perhaps a few minutes ago, the scene in front of him would have surprised Joshua, but at this moment he was only angry.

……

When Hank finally came late and found Connor and Joshua by stepping on the water, everything in front of him made him stunned in place, speechless.

Joshua lay quietly on his back in the pool of blue blood that flowed from the chinchilla. He looked at the sky with his eyes open, letting the raindrops fall on his fragile retina, and he seemed to feel no pain, letting the water fall on his face. There was wanton flow on his face.

Beside him is the RK800 that has been torn to almost complete fragments, and various unknown parts are thrown on the ground in a mess, revealing the original appearance of the pale synthetic material.

Not far away, two female androids lay lifeless in the icy rain.

Hank quickly ran up to Joshua, knelt down beside him, and pushed his already stiff body soaked in the icy rain: "Joshua! Hey! Can you hear me!"

Joshua's eyes finally moved and looked at Hank.

"What the hell happened?" Hank felt that there was some sticky liquid on Joshua's body when he touched it. He raised his hand and saw that his hand was covered with blue blood, even under the washing of the rain. The speed of shallowing is still extremely slow.

"Hank." Joshua's voice was a little hoarse, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and countless water spots slid down his face. "I think... I'm probably crazy."

I thought I had found solace, a haven of rest, and a soul mate in the rest of my endlessly empty life.But now the cruel reality tells him that everything is just an illusion.

——The "man" you love is just a machine.

—and yourself, like a joke.

The author has something to say:

Joshua: Stupid, my brother can tear Android with his hands

Connor: Stupid, brother is very expensive, you are going bankrupt

Hank: ... (stupid)
