Slag suffers as [main attack]

"What do you mean by this sentence???"

Brian thought so, and asked the same question.

However, the doctor didn't seem to want to give him an answer.It seemed that he just sighed casually after seeing the news.But the other two people present, neither Cyril nor Brian, would think that this was just a meaningless sigh.

If Syril was still wondering why Zhinao asked him to come to the Federation to find the doctor in person to seek answers, now, he is sure that this doctor probably knows the whole thing very well, and the relationship between Zhinao and Zhinao There is some kind of connection.

——Perhaps, as the wisdom brain suggested, only with the doctor can he get the real answer.

"Let's go on, Xiao Xi—may I call you that?" The doctor gave Xi Ruier a gentle and loving look.

Facing those wise, tolerant, seemingly omniscient eyes, Cyril couldn't help but tremble, and an inexplicable emotion welled up deep in her heart.Although intellectually speaking, he should be seeing this person for the first time today, but somehow, he has an instinctive sense of closeness and trust towards this person, and that sense of trust is even more than that of Brian.

Before Cyril could react, he had already nodded slightly to the doctor, and then, he saw that the doctor's eyes became softer.The way he looked at him was really like an elder looking at his junior, and like an artist appreciating a treasure.

……so similar.

This doctor is very similar to the feeling his father gave him.

In fact, their faces are not very similar, but their temperament, expression, tone of voice and even small movements are all so similar.In the doctor's extremely patient narration, Cyril had the illusion that "my father and the doctor are actually the same person".

At the same time, the image of the J in the doctor's mouth overlapped with himself...

When the doctor finished describing J's experience and looked back at him, he actually felt that what the doctor was talking about was not J, but him who was hidden under J's skin... Did the doctor know that he replaced J?

Cyril trembled slightly all over his body, he felt that he had touched the edge of the truth.

"Doctor, I have a question..." After pondering for a long time, Cyril said: "J was born based on the needs of the marshal's eldest son, Albert, so why don't you guide him in the direction of Aaron? ? It should be your goal to make him a complete copy of Aaron, right?"

Originally, Cyril thought that J would be regarded as a "poor imitation" by Albert because of the inherent flaws in the emotional system of artificial humans-even if they can perfectly imitate the expressions, expressions, speaking methods and even Emotions are very mechanical and rigid, so few people use artificial humans as substitutes for others. Most of the time, people are even lazy to set up the emotional system of artificial humans and choose to let them remain expressionless.

However, J is different.Although clumsy, he has a strong learning ability for artificial humans. It can be said that he is the most "humane" among many artificial humans.The doctor is cultivating J in his own way. He is trying to stimulate J's nature, but he does not guide J in the direction of Aaron at all.

Cyril believes that the doctor can train J to be more like Aaron, but he didn't do it, and Cyril doesn't know why.Could it be that Albert offended the doctor somewhere, so the doctor wants to take revenge?

The doctor shook his head and said as a matter of course: "Aaron is just a defective product, and you also have many flaws. Although you are a 'copy' of Aaron, you obviously have much higher potential than Aaron. In this case, I Why let my excellent child accommodate a defective product?"

When talking about Aaron, a trace of disgust flashed in the doctor's eyes.

He looked at Cyril seriously, his deep and vicissitudes of eyes seemed to go straight into the depths of Cyril's soul: "Listen, although you were born as a copy of Aaron, you are not a substitute for anyone, You are you! Neither Aaron nor Albert can erase your existence!"

Cyril stared blankly at the doctor's eyes, as if she didn't expect to hear such words.

A certain valve in his heart seemed to be opened, and countless emotions locked inside, such as sadness, grievance, despair, loneliness...all surged out, almost drowning him.

Cyril bit her lower lip and let out a whimper, the sound was like the whine of a wounded little animal.

Brian was very worried when he heard that, and was about to hold Cyril in his arms to comfort him, when he saw Cyril grabbing the skirt of his chest and throwing himself into the doctor's arms: "Father... "

His voice trembled violently, just like himself.

With a smile on his face, the doctor put one arm around his waist to support him, and put the other hand on the top of his head, lovingly stroking his soft hair: "Well, I'm here."

From Brian's point of view, he couldn't see Cyril's expression clearly at the moment.

All he could see was Cyril buried her head in the doctor's arms, and immediately, there was a burst of suppressed sobs from around.

Affected by Cyril's mood, Brian's mood also became very depressed.But what made him feel even more depressed was that the lover wanted to seek comfort, why didn't he throw himself into his arms, and chose that old man instead!

His embrace is so wide and reliable, isn't it a hundred times stronger than that old man? ! ! !

Brian only felt that the scene in front of him was extremely dazzling.

The daughter-in-law (old) wife (father-in-law) is sad, but he is not the one who comforts him.His daughter-in-law (old) woman (father) was snatched away by a big-tailed wolf outside!

Even if the person who robbed him of his daughter-in-law (old wife) (father-in-law) was his father-in-law (father-in-law), he couldn't bear it at all.

Brian is so sad now that he just wants to draw circles on the ground.

If he could, he really wanted to rush forward, slap the person who "molested" Cyril over with a slap, and hug him into his arms, but he didn't dare, he knew that doing so would attract Cyril disgusted.Therefore, he could only endure the anger in his heart, and stood stiffly in place.

When Xi Ruier looked up, he met such a pair of betrayed dog-like eyes, both angry and wronged.

Brian: Eh... eh?Xiaoxi finally noticed me =V=.

Cyril: What the hell is this guy doing?

Cyril's emotions that had been brewing for a long time disappeared in this "affectionate look". He poked his head out of the doctor's arms, distanced himself from the doctor, and nodded calmly and restrainedly at the latter. : "Father."

"Have you remembered, Xiaoxi?"

Cyril said with certainty: "You are my father. Memories can lie, but emotions cannot."

At that moment just now, the strong emotion that erupted from the depths of his heart could not be obtained simply by inheriting J's emotion.

If he only feels J's emotional fluctuations, he may be affected by J's feelings, and thus have a deeper understanding of J's character and everything, but he will definitely not be able to empathize with J's experience.

However, what was aroused by J's emotion was his own emotion.That kind of emotion goes deep into the bone marrow and is engraved into the depths of the soul. Even if it is temporarily covered in dust, it can never be erased.

In fact, at the moment when he threw himself into the arms of the doctor, a series of long pictures flashed in Cyril's mind——

In the first scene, the boy who has the same face as him has learned a new skill, which is able to control the mecha through the neural network outside the mecha.The boy stood in the courtyard of the institute, his fair face tinged with joy.He raised his head seriously, playing with the toys beside him.

The doctor wearing a white research uniform came in from the outside, seeing the boy's progress, said more proudly than him: "As expected of my child."

Immediately afterwards, the screen turned, and a series of scrolls flew by quickly, like meteors whose lifespan was about to come to an end, the brightest light suddenly burst out in Cyril's mind, and then fell silently.

The housekeeper of the Marshal's Mansion brought his servants to pick up the young man, and the happy life of the young man was gone forever.He seemed to be locked in a cage, and his words and deeds were firmly restricted by the housekeeper.The most common sentence the housekeeper said was: "Remember your identity, and don't do anything that will bring shame to the Marshal's Mansion."

In such a big environment, the boy became more and more silent, more and more dull, and became like a precise machine.

The verbal violence in the Marshal's Mansion, Albert's disdain, the hardships when he first arrived at the Star Academy...Scenes flashed through Cyril's mind quickly, like watching flowers on horseback.Those pictures made Cyril feel very uncomfortable, but he just looked at them quietly, as if they were part of him that he had to accept - he knew that it was something he couldn't change.

At that moment, his consciousness seemed to be ejected from the boy's body, and he was just a bystander watching the boy's past experiences.It was obviously just an established fact, but as he looked at it, tears filled his eyes.

The young man who was abused by others couldn't even grieve for himself.He seemed to take his place and shed tears that he couldn't shed...

Immediately afterwards, was the meeting with the crown prince. That scene looked warm and beautiful.Although the boy in the picture seemed to be annoyed by the crown prince, Xi Ruier knew that he was actually very happy for the crown prince's approach.He just got used to being alone, and didn't know how to get along with people other than Albert.It's a pity that the only person he can get close to is so dismissive of him.

This picture appeared together with the photos that Cyril had seen at Brian's place, and it stayed for a long time.It can be seen that this memory also occupies a very important position in the young man's heart.

However, all the joy, those beautiful days, were ruined with Albert's anger.

Brian confessed to the boy, but the boy rejected Brian, and in the setting sun, the figures of the two drifted away...

Subsequently, Albert led to a murder, and the depressed teenager was seriously injured and dying for Albert.At that time, the young man's will to survive was extremely weak. He had just rejected the person who could make him realize his "self". Albert, who should have needed him the most, actually hated his existence the most. reason to exist.It's not pessimistic, it's not suicide, he's just, without any worries.

In the end, it was Albert who saved him.

In front of his hospital bed, Albert tearfully clutched his hand and begged him not to leave, saying he needed him.

The boy's injury improved day by day, until one day, Albert came to his healing place and took him back to the Marshal's Mansion himself.

After that, the boy enjoyed excellent treatment in the Marshal's Mansion.The housekeeper who had always spoken coldly to him was respectful to him after he returned to the Marshal's mansion, and the subordinates did not dare to speak ill of him any more, but began to flatter him. When the superior Marshal saw him, he also Finally willing to give him a straight eye.

Albert took great care of him, which was very moving.

Unfortunately, this harmony was quickly broken.

Aaron's return quickly broke the young man's position in the marshal's mansion, making the young man once again a worthless existence.

From the stars holding the moon to being neglected again, the young man seemed to have expected such a day, so he didn't pay much attention to it.What really made him sad was the emptiness in his heart... He became an existence that was not expected and needed again.

With Aaron's return, a series of troubles also swarmed.Before he could think about it, there was an artificial riot in the Federation.Different from the picture of "this world", in the picture of that world, the impact of this incident was even worse. More than half of the high-ranking officials of the Federation were killed by artificial humans.The government was furious, and before investigating the incident, it ordered all artificial humans in the territory to be killed on the spot.

Seeing the artificial people being destroyed like tools and then recycled like waste products, Cyril felt a surge of sadness in his heart.The teenager in the picture obviously has similar emotions.As an artificial human, he could not escape the fate of others of the same kind.

Albert originally planned to exile Cyril to a remote galaxy. In this way, even if there is a problem with him as an artificial human, it will not threaten the safety of his own family.Unfortunately, Aaron persuaded him.

Now, the marshal is in a fit of anger, and it is undoubtedly not wise to play tricks under the marshal's nose.

Albert was persuaded.

For a young man who is no longer very important, compared with his own future and the future of him and his true love, the latter two are of course more important.So, he prepared to destroy the boy.

However, at this time, the boy disappeared.It didn't take long for Aaron to discover that the boy was hidden in the research institute by his maker, Doctor.

The rescued boy didn't intend to bring the doctor into trouble, he had already planned to go out to die on his own initiative.

Nevertheless, the doctor's heart moved him very much.

It's a pity that before he could do something, the doctor did it first...

He heard the doctor say to the two people: "Z201 is a work created by me, and its destruction can only be done by me." There was no emotional ups and downs in his voice, as if he was just talking about a dead body. thing.

There was finally a hint of emotion in the boy's empty eyes.It turned out that even his father, who regarded him as a god, regarded him as an object, a thing, not a living body.

"In this case, of course we will respect your wishes, Doctor. However, in order to reassure the parliament and the military, you should do it as soon as possible." The two stood by, insisting on witnessing the destruction of the last artificial human in the Federation the process of.

……

At the end of the picture, the boy fell to the ground in embarrassment, with a heavy sadness written on his usually dull face.His whole body was covered in dust and mess, and blood flowed down his white and slender arms, but he ignored it and stubbornly crawled forward.

"Father...why?"

If he had decided to abandon him from the very beginning, why bother to bring him here from the Marshal's Mansion.Wouldn't it be nice to let him fend for himself?

The doctor looked down at him condescendingly, like a god, looking at the ants under his feet: "Why? If you want to blame, blame you for not being born in the Federation..."

"I want to ask why I took you out of the Marshal's Mansion before Albert did it? It's just because I need some data on you. As long as the research results can be preserved, I can create more and more perfect ones at any time." "Works". Now that I have extracted the data I need from you, your existence is no longer important to me..."

……

Cyril opened her eyes again, pushing those images out of her mind.

He can be sure that it is not J's memory, but his.What is happening in this whole world is J's past.It's just that he doesn't know what happened in this world, which caused a deviation from everything he knew.

He knew in his heart that this was probably the truth of how he was formatted.

If it is said that before he was formatted, he still had resentment and unwillingness, and did not understand why the doctor suddenly treated him like that, then now, all of this is beyond doubt.

The doctor, from the beginning to the end, never thought of hurting him.

What took him away was just to extract data from him. Once the data was extracted, he was useless.These words are all used to coax Albert and Aaron.

——Now that he is still standing here, this is the best evidence.

But, I don’t know why, before seeing the so-called truth, Cyril was able to instinctively throw herself into the doctor’s arms in order to seek peace of mind. After seeing those pictures, in the doctor’s arms, On the contrary, Xi Ruier couldn't calm down.

Although he had guessed the doctor's real intention, after all, he and the doctor were not in the same intimate time as before.

The doctor did not participate in his growth process, and he was also unaware of some of the things the doctor participated in.Coupled with the incident that happened between them in the research institute... After all, there was some distance between him and the doctor.

Brian, who had been observing the interaction between the two, saw this and his eyes lit up.While it's not known exactly what happened in this short period of time, it's certainly a good time to bring your lover's attention back.So, he winked desperately from the sidelines, trying to get his lover to notice him, but unfortunately he failed in the end.

Although Cyril withdrew from the doctor's arms, his attention was always on the doctor.

Brian saw that no matter what he did, he couldn't get his lover's attention back from the doctor, and he was pouted secretly sad, when he heard his lover say something that made him feel unbelievable: "My lord, you let me What exactly is the task that the brain entrusted to me?"

If from his being formatted, to his rebirth, to his going to various dimensions and accepting different tasks, all of which are promoted by the father, what is the purpose of the father?

According to his father's serious and rigorous temperament, every move has to be carefully calculated, and Cyril doesn't think he will be aimless.

Arranging him to go to one world after another, but not clearly telling him his mission goals, what exactly do you want to do, my lord father?

Of course, Cyril didn't doubt that the doctor would harm him.If you want to harm him, you might as well not spend so much trouble saving people from under the noses of Aaron and Albert in the first place.

The interlacing of the two worlds caused some confusion in Cyril.

If this world is real, then what is the world in his memory?

If the world he remembered was real, then what happened to the world in front of him, and even the worlds he had been to?

The doctor looked at Cyril and shook his head: "This has to be judged by yourself, I can't tell you the answer."

"However, the brain said, with you, I can get all the answers."

"If I tell you the answer, will you believe it?" There was a smile in the doctor's voice: "Don't forget, I don't always tell you the truth."

"but……"

The doctor looked at Brian, who was standing on the side, who was obviously stunned, and pointed in his direction: "The answer you are looking for is on him. And the same—"

"The answer he is looking for is also in you."

"All along, you have stood at the farthest and closest place from each other."

The doctor's words brought many doubts to the hearts of the two people present.

Cyril turned her head and stared at Brian, the eyes of each other were very complex and deep, difficult to distinguish.

"Xiaoxi, what do the doctor's words mean? What's your mission? Is there any secret between you and the doctor that I don't know?"

"Bryan, what are you hiding from me all this time? Are you really just reborn?"

The questions of the two were asked almost at the same time.

After each other's voice fell, both of them fell into a rare silence.

"You...know?" After a while, Brian spoke, his voice was a little difficult, and he licked his dry lips: "Yes, that's right, I..."
