Symbiote Ninth

Link straightened his watch and turned to look for Caesar. The skin on his stomach had been replaced, and the damaged circuit had been reconnected. Only the problem of the power source remained unsolved. The maintenance personnel had left. Come, Qi Shijing came again to tell them to stop, so they all left.

Chenghe stayed here all afternoon, looking at the computer with his long legs on the table, but didn't give any useful suggestions. Link sat next to him, called the maintenance personnel back, and let them continue to work.

"It might be a little dangerous." The short girl took the lead, and she played with the microscopic mirror in her hand, "It's like a human being performing an operation that cannot guarantee the success rate. If it succeeds, it will succeed, no If it succeeds, there is no value in continuing to repair it. Its model is very special, and we cannot find suitable parts to replace it. The current solution is to open the shell of the heart, remelt and reshape it, and refill the power source, but no one can I haven’t done this before, so I don’t know if he will still be alive.”

Link nodded and said, "Give me five minutes to think about it."

The 5 minutes was up soon, Cheng He said while looking at the computer: "Have you thought about it yet?"

"I didn't think so."

"..." Cheng He closed the computer with a snap, "What's there to think about?"

"If it doesn't work, he'll die."

"It's scrapped, scrapped, understand? What is dead and alive, does he have life? No, it's because you always think so, Lieutenant Qi doesn't want you to take him away."

Link said: "It's a pity that what Qi Shijing said doesn't count, I have the final say."

"Oh." Cheng He said, "If you say yes, then I can't help it."

The vents in the maintenance room made rumbling noises, and six people surrounded Caesar. Caesar had his eyes open, and he hadn't made a sound since he was sent.

"What do you think?" Link stood in front of Caesar, "Do you want to take this risk?"

"Do I have the right to choose?" Caesar said with a rebellious look, "I am just a created machine. My role is not to make choices, but to be used. Everything about me is set and created. You Don't confuse this matter, come and discuss something with me."

"So your setting is to treat the person who rescued you with this attitude?"

"Yeah, this is my setting." Caesar smiled at him.

"Does your setting also include crying when it hurts?"

"That's a physiological reaction." Caesar said nonchalantly, "I'm imitating human beings. I cry because you cry. In the end, it's you who are weak."

"I think you have a problem." Link leaned down and whispered in his ear, "What do you think?"

Caesar was really at a loss this time, he didn't know what Link meant by saying this, did he have a problem?What is the problem?

"Fix it." Link looked at Caesar, stretched out his hand to brush away the random hair on his forehead, and looked at his face carefully, "I hope you can survive."

Cheng He went back to look at the computer again, but Freesia was still standing, he had been standing there for several hours.

"I'll go back." Cheng He said.

When Cheng He returned, the room was already dark. He turned on the light, and Freesia was still standing against the wall. Cheng He grabbed his ear and asked him to turn around. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "They are going to give Caesar Have an operation."

"What kind of surgery?" Freesia looked at him innocently, "It will be fine if you do it, right?"

"This..." Cheng He recalled his wet eyes, and said vaguely, "You can say that, but, it can't be said that everything will be fine..."

Freesia understood.

"If he doesn't succeed, will he die?" Freesia said to Ai Ai, using the same words as Link, dead, alive, so Chenghe didn't feel that he should continue to say something like scrap.

"You can't be so sure..." Cheng He stretched out his voice, "Why don't you go and have a look?"

"En." Freesia nodded, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, the tip of her nose was red.

Cheng He quickly pinched his chin to make him look up, impatient and helpless, "Why do you love to cry so much?"

Freesia held back her tears, pressed her lips together tightly, and a piece of her cheek bulged out suddenly.He hugged Chenghe, choked up and said, "I'm afraid he will leave me."

Cheng He is almost schizophrenic, is Freesia really in pain?Or is he just executing the program he set?Is it as absurd that he suffers from Freesia's tears as he feels relieved from the work of the housekeeping robot? !

However, Freesia's breath sprayed on his neck, it was warm, nothing could be more real than this, Chenghe patted his back in a daze, "Isn't he still dead? Besides, you cry It's useless, or I won't take you there, and you are here waiting for my news?"

"You take me there." Freesia looked up at him, her eyelashes were wet with tears, "I'm sorry, I won't cry, I will hold back."

His lips almost touched Cheng He's chin, and Cheng He's heart beat a little faster, and he didn't dare to move his neck, and his hands were still pressed against Freesia's back, "Then you—you should cry now Hold back, hurry up, let others see what it looks like."

Freesia nodded hurriedly, wiped her eyes vigorously, and dried them. He looked at Chenghe, "Shall we go now?"

He was still wearing the clothes that the boss of Miliu Milk gave him. Although they were not dirty, they were very old, and the shoulders were so worn that they were almost transparent. I don’t know who wore them. Chenghe looked him around and said: " You change your clothes, you are dressed so strangely, people should notice you, what is going on with the two of you is not sure yet, it would be bad to be noticed. "

Freesia nodded, Chenghe reached out to lift the hem of his jacket, he obediently raised his hand to cooperate with him, Chenghe felt a sudden in his heart, suddenly felt that he was like a very obedient child.Is he a robot?Can human technology really create such life?Maybe something is wrong.

After taking off his clothes, Chenghe deliberately didn't look at him, turned around and went to his closet to find clean underwear and shirt, he threw them to Freesia, she put them on clumsily, Chenghe found another pair of pants to help him Put it on, and half kneeled on the ground to help him roll up his trousers.

After changing, Chenghe looked at Xiao Canglan, nodded with satisfaction, and took his hand out the door.

to the door.Cheng He hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open. He glanced at the narrow bed and was stunned for a moment.

Caesar's body has been completely opened, the metal shell of the heart has been removed, and it has been sent to be remelted. What surprised him was what was inside the heart.

Countless translucent thin lines interspersed with each other, closely connected with the circuits and hardware under his body, as if some strange plant had grown into his body, flashing a light blue halo slowly and regularly. Things are flowing, silently, like small rivers.

"What is this?" Cheng He asked.

"I don't know." Link frowned, and seemed to be puzzled, "It stands to reason that there should be nothing in it except the power source,"

"Did someone else put it in later?"

"Impossible. Those people in Bailu Square took a lot of tools to violently destroy it and didn't open it. They must have the matching key. No one has a chance to touch his place."

"Forget it, forget it, don't think about it, and we don't have any blueprints, so how do we know what this is?"

Link nodded slowly.

Caesar has no vital signs now, no breathing, no movement, a thin layer of white mist floats in his eyeballs, his lips are slightly parted, his fingers are slightly bent on the bed, like a corpse, Link reached out and touched his The wrist was cold and slightly stiff.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and Chenghe was only wearing short sleeves, so he was a bit cold, so he pulled Freesia to stand beside him, and after a while, he simply hugged him carelessly, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?" What are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything." Freesia said, "I don't know what to think about."

Time passed by every minute and every second, the shell was remelted, and the new power source was ready. Just put it in and start it again. It's a very simple thing, but if it doesn't work, there will be no Caesar in this world in the future. up.

Freesia stared intently, her nails were firmly stuck in the flesh, Link was also a little nervous, the shell was installed, the power source was activated, and there was a very soft bang, Caesar's skin returned to its place, and the whole person was A tight-knit teenager.

His eyes were still foggy.

The short girl shook her hand in front of his eyes, but he didn't respond.

"Failed." She announced in a normal tone, "Sorry."

A tear flowed from Caesar's misty eyes, which was hidden in his temples. Link stared at the tear, looking at this malicious robot who was about to face the world for no reason, or this boy, he I don't know where I should stand.

"He cried." Link pointed to the tear, "What's going on?"

"He's really broken, Captain Lin, he's just a machine, everything is simulated." The short girl was very calm, shrugged and said: "Many people who came into contact with the symbiote more than ten years ago They will have feelings for them, not to say that this is good or bad, but that it is not necessary."

"I see, let's go." Link said.

There were only four people left in the room, and Freesia stared blankly at Caesar's body, still unable to believe this reality, Chenghe was still wary of his crying, but he didn't, just stood there stupidly, like He suddenly fell into a very huge confusion. He didn't know what he was doing now, and he didn't know what he was going to do here. Caesar was gone, and the only person in the world who was kind to him and protected him left. ,Then what?Out of a thousand symbiotes, more than 700 have been scrapped, and more than 200 are still being repaired indefinitely. Is he the last symbiote left in this world, with human feelings and pain, but never Will be treated equally by humans?

"Go back." Cheng He squeezed his thin wrist.

Freesia obeyed the order, he suddenly realized that this was his destiny, to obey, no matter what, obey to the end, his emotion and behavior can be completely separated, because his emotion is not worth mentioning.

He didn't cry anymore, since Caesar was dead, his tears were meaningless, Cheng He left with Freesia, the rain fell, Cheng He took him back to his single dormitory, Freesia Walking to the corner and standing against the wall is also an order, an order that has not been taken back.
