Symbiote Ninth

This too is an order, an order that has not been taken back.

Chenghe couldn't bear it anymore, he patted Freesia's head, "I couldn't accept it when my mother died, but it got better after a while, people - and robots are like this, anyway, the people around me will sooner or later Will leave, either you are sad, or they are sad."

Freesia couldn't listen, so Chenghe pulled him to sit on the bed, and searched for an excuse. After a while, he thought of it, "How about I tell you a story? Have you heard our story?"

When Freesia heard this, her expression changed instantly, she pursed her mouth, and cried out loudly.

In the maintenance room, Link was still sitting next to Caesar's narrow bed. He felt a pity, and even felt a bit of guilt that he shouldn't have. He created such things, set emotions for them, and made them closely connected with the world. , It's almost like creating a new species.

Link knew he should go, but he didn't want to go. He couldn't bear to let this dead child lie here alone.

After a while, Link bent down and kissed him gently on the forehead for a few seconds, without any obscene emotion, it was purely a comfort, if the symbiote had a soul, he hoped that the soul would rest in peace.

He straightened up and looked into Caesar's foggy eyes.

Link spoke to him in a low voice, although he knew his behavior was stupid, but he couldn't stop himself from doing it.

"If you die, Freesia will die too. He is not as valuable as you, and he will probably be destroyed directly."

Caesar was still staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Perhaps there will never be any symbionts from now on. If your defection is confirmed, the remaining 200 symbionts under restoration will also be destroyed together."

Suddenly, the dense fog inside began to swirl, and then slowly dissipated, and there was another very light crackling sound, like a small electric current, and Caesar blinked slowly.

Link narrowed his eyes in surprise, and asked hesitantly, "You——fixed it?"

Caesar was silent for a while, and answered him: "According to the self-test results, the current hardware damage is zero."

Link's heart suddenly relaxed, and then he couldn't believe it, and asked Caesar, "How did you fix it?"

"How would I know?" Caesar became impatient, "You guys did it, and why did you kiss me just now?"

"You don't need to know." Link didn't like his appearance, "Get up and follow me."

"From now on, you will be my priority commander." Caesar lay still, with some displeasure in his tone.

"what?"

"You triggered the priority order instruction on me, so your order will be executed first, that's how it is."

"Me? How did I trigger it?"

Caesar said impatiently, "I won't tell you."

Link: "I order you to tell me."

Caesar said slowly, "Well, it's actually because—"

As soon as he said this, Link's communicator rang like a death call, and it was connected, and Chenghe shouted over there: "Fuck, Link, that little robot has been crying and can't stop, what should I do? I?"

"Bring him here, the Holy Son is not dead."

Chenghe brought Freesia here in a hurry. Freesia saw Caesar from a distance, and rushed over to hug him like a gust of wind. Caesar was not impatient with others, and comforted him softly: "Okay, am I all right?"

Cheng He was looking at it, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't like it, but he had no reason to stop it, so he had to be even more upset.

Where to put the two symbionts at night is a problem. Just put them in the maintenance room without a good lock. Link is worried. He is afraid that something will happen to Qi Shijing again. He only needs a comprehensive inspection tomorrow If they pass, it proves that they have no virus and no software abnormalities, then Link can take them to the occupied area to perform tasks.

"Let the Holy Spirit follow me." Cheng He wiped the tears from Canglan's face with disgust, "He's too capable, you can't control it."

"Really? Didn't you just ask me how to coax me? I don't think you can control it." Link dismantled his platform without hesitation.

Cheng He kicked him, half-forcedly dragging Freesia away, she couldn't help but look back again and again, stretched out a white hand and waved at Caesar, "See you tomorrow. "

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Caesar looked at him with a smile.

After a day of tossing around, Cheng He finally fell asleep with peace of mind. He came out of the shower, and Freesia was standing by the bed. He pointed to the bed and said, "Lie down."

"I don't need sleep." Freesia looked at his single bed.

"Where are so many nonsense, if you tell you to lie down, you can lie down," Cheng He pushed him, and Freesia had to lie down, her trousers were spread out, and dragged long, covering her feet.Cheng He lay down outside, the two were close to each other, Freesia was a thin and small ball, which didn't take up much space, and Cheng He could let go of his hands and feet to help him think. He was reviewing his mental journey, Obviously before finding them today, he still firmly believed that they were nothing but machines, no different from housework robots, but he became confused the first time he saw Freesia, and he couldn't help thinking of Freesia as a robot. From the perspective of a real person, the other party is such a very, very real boy, always crying, very fragile, very annoying, fair-looking, round eyes, soft and warm to the touch, How is this not a real person?He is getting more and more confused.

He turned over, put one arm on Freesia's body, and asked him, "Are you hungry?"

"Ah?" Freesia was dumbfounded, "I won't be hungry."

"Why aren't you hungry?" Cheng He said, "You will cry, but you still can't eat?"

"I don't have a stomach, and the food will accumulate in the abdominal cavity after swallowing, so I can't eat." Freesia explained to him seriously, "The power source is my food. As long as the power source is still there, I will be fine." .”

"Oh..." Cheng He said, "Forget it, go to bed."

"I don't need to sleep."

"Then pretend to sleep, close your eyes and pant, hurry up."

Freesia complied.

Chenghe stared at him in the moonlight, suspecting that he had fallen for his tricks, but Freesia looked so pure, unlike those vicious artificial intelligences, he really couldn't imagine that Freesia was plotting Stabbed himself to death with a knife.

After an hour, he still couldn't fall asleep, like a little boy who got a new toy and couldn't put it down. He hugged Freesia like he was holding his most precious gun. Freesia's hair was cool It was slippery on his arm, and he felt very comfortable.

"Freesia, this name is really strange, why are you called Freesia?"

"The system randomly gave it to me." Freesia said, "I don't know why."

"Why don't you take my last name?" Cheng He teased his long eyelashes with his index finger, "I'll give you a new name."

"But that's my name..." Xiao Canglan felt a little scared, not knowing what strange request Chenghe would make.

Unexpectedly, Cheng He didn't say anything, just hummed, stroked his hair, and soon fell asleep.

Link didn't let Caesar go to bed, but let him sit in front of his desk. There were a few rare paper books in Link's drawer, all of which were thick and large format. Caesar flipped through them with interest. Ke asked him, "Do you also find reading interesting?"

"Yes," said Caesar, "for entertainment."

These few books are all banned books that cannot be bought in the market, and they are all related to religion.

"The angel was born," read Caesar, "and he spread his wings and flew to Calvary."

"what?"

"It's written here." Caesar said, "It says that there are really angels in the world. Haven't you read this book?"

"I've seen it, but I don't believe it. Don't you believe it?" Link looked at him with great interest, "Can robots also have faith?"

Caesar was in a trance for a moment, and he frowned, "My faith? I don't know, should I have faith? The ultimate question for human beings is where they come from and where they are going, and I come from the factory to the battlefield. From life to death, humans are in control, I don’t have so many doubts to solve, and your doubts have nothing to do with me, so, do you think I should have religious beliefs?”

"Do not."

"But—" Caesar said, "I think angels are very kind. I seem to have seen angels too. Angels really existed."

"Huh?" Link looked at him, took a cigarette and lit it, "Your program is out of order."

"I also feel like I have a lot of deranged moments. You know, I was born with a song, François let it go, who gave me the memory of this song? What is it? What about the song? I asked François, and he didn't answer me."

Link carefully digested what he said, pondered for a few seconds and asked him: "Besides this incident, do you feel this way in other situations?"

"No more," Caesar said.

"How did you sing that song?"

"We have seen the eternal stars in Jerusalem, the Son fell, and the Holy Spirit keeps hope..."

Before he finished singing, Link's communicator rang quickly, and he turned on the loudspeaker. Qi Shijing said in a serious tone, "Link, please bring Cheng He to me immediately."
