[Comprehensive] The male protagonist never shows up

"So you took her home?" Motoko Kusanagi who received the call arrived and saw Luna in a loose T-shirt playing happily with Bart's dog. She frowned and looked Unbelievable face.

Bart reached out and touched his head in embarrassment, and he didn't understand why he brought Luna back without investigating. He looked at the giggling Luna and the dog who was purring comfortably. , said with a sigh: "She said that she is being hunted by the MEGATECH Prosthetic Body Research Institute, and the only person she can trust is the Major, so she came here to ask you to protect her."

"MEGATECH Prosthetic Body Research Institute?" Motoko Kusanagi felt strange, "Why did they hunt down a girl with a full body prosthetic body? Don't you find it strange, Bart?"

Bart really wanted to answer that he only remembered after bringing Luna back, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Luna who was having a great time saying, "Because Luna is not just a person with a full body prosthetic body. ah!"

Luna stroked the dog's hair lightly with her hand, and said a sentence that was as important as a thousand weights lightly: "Luna is a prosthetic person who suddenly produced a soul!"

After dropping a big bomb, looking at Motoko Kusanagi and Bart who were stunned, Luna bent her eyes and showed a pleasant and innocent smile.

Motoko Kusanagi pondered for a moment with no expression on her face, and then she gave Luna a satisfactory answer: "Bart, this girl can't be handed over to the MEGATECH Prosthetic Institute, and it's not appropriate to stay here with you. You can send her to her later." my home."

Motoko Kusanagi's house is not like a girl's house. It is simple and clean. Except for a few potted plants, there are no conspicuous decorations. Luna leans on the big window sill and looks downstairs in amazement: "Wow ~so high~"

Motoko Kusanagi casually put down the beer in her hand, pointed to another small bedroom and said, "You sleep there!"

"Huh?" Luna looked back at Motoko Kusanagi with some regret, "Didn't Sister Motoko sleep with her? Luna would be scared to sleep alone! Suddenly a ghost rushed over or something!"

When Bart heard the words, he looked at Luna in confusion, and comforted him: "Don't worry, there are no ghosts and gods in this world. Ghosts and the like will never appear. Isn't that right, Major?"

Motoko Kusanagi did not answer, with a serious expression on her face.Seeing this, Bart touched his head in embarrassment, and then he was about to go back: "It's already late, so I'll go home first."

Luna watched Bart leave with [-]% enthusiasm, and then looked back at Motoko Kusanagi expectantly. Motoko Kusanagi is powerful and graceful. She is Luna's idol. Finally, she has a close contact with her idol. Luna very much hopes that the two of them Can become good friends: "Sister Suzi, please take care of me in the future!"

Seeing Luna with bright eyes bowing down very politely, Motoko Kusanagi felt very complicated in her heart: "You say you are a prosthetic who suddenly produced a soul?"

"Yeah!" Luna nodded frankly and admitted, "Luna's head doesn't have the same brain tissue as Sister Suzi, only the attached electronic brain!"

Seeing Motoko Kusanagi's confused expression, Luna added a sentence after thinking about it: "Actually, Luna is not just a prosthetic person without brain tissue, it just happened to appear on this prosthetic body." Now, Luna is definitely a human being!"

Even though Luna felt that she had explained her identity very clearly, Motoko Kusanagi did not fully accept it. She often wondered whether the existence of self-awareness was real, whether she was just a prosthetic body and an electronic brain. virtual personality.After being silent for a while, Motoko Kusanagi said coldly: "I see. There are a few points to explain first. You are not allowed to run around, make phone calls or surf the Internet with me. Go and rest now."

Luna felt a little depressed when she heard the words, she responded in a low voice and went into the room that was assigned to her.She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, so she lay down on the window looking at the night scene outside in a somewhat depressed state.

The modern city is gradually covered with colorful neon lights and lights, and the whole city shines brightly like the Milky Way at night.

"Luna—"

Luna, who was obsessed with the night scene, suddenly raised her head and looked at the door in surprise. She saw no one for a while, and frowned, thinking that she was hallucinating.

"It's me, Puppeteer!" The voice was mechanically low, as if it appeared directly in my mind.

Luna asked in a low voice with surprise: "Where are you? Could it be in my head?" Don't!That would be terrible!Everything will be seen clearly, including the embarrassing things about herself that she just remembered.

"Hehe, I connected to your terminal skill device via satellite, it's the same as making a phone call, I can only talk to you."

Luna breathed a sigh of relief, and lay on the window sill as if she had no bones, and complained: "Just to talk to me, I found Suzi, but she doesn't seem to like me very much... . . ”

"why?"

Luna said honestly with some headaches: "But it's normal. Anyone who sees an unknown person who suddenly appears will be a little suspicious, not to mention that I challenge her psychology so much."

"is it?"

"Of course, sister Suzi has been transformed into a prosthetic body since she was a child, so she is often uneasy, thinking that she might have died long ago, because she really didn't exist, just like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly. If the electronic brain can generate a soul by itself, Or there is a hidden soul, so the basis for the biochemical man to believe that he exists no longer exists, and she is very entangled in this!" Luna is very clear about the reason, but if she doesn't say that, how can she make Motoko Kusanagi Agree to bring her back?Besides, even if I told the truth, no one would believe it, right?

"Indeed, the existence of things with "life" activity requires a variety of components to maintain their operation, just like Motoko Kusanagi's prosthetic body, which keeps running to ensure her brain remains active, and those diverse parts At the same time, it becomes the evidence of Kusanagi Motoko's own existence. Unfortunately, for Kusanagi Motoko, her prosthetic body is not unique."

Luna wrinkled her face in confusion. The puppet master's words are really profound. She just said a classic Suzi quote, and then she elicited a long paragraph of philosophical words, and hurriedly interrupted: "Doesn't the puppeteer work? ? Luna thought the AI ​​was very busy!"

"Just finished work. Drop by to see you."

Luna showed a big smile, very happy: "The puppeteer is really a gentle person, and he even visited Luna on purpose. Luna is so happy to meet you as a new friend in this world."

"Friend?" The puppet master's voice has changed. Luna doesn't know it. The puppet master shuttles through every network terminal. Through the distant cameras and electronic products used in daily life, Luna's image is clearly displayed on his screen. before.

"Enn, even if Luna leaves in the future, she will remember the puppet master!"

"Leave? Do you mean death?" The puppeteer couldn't understand, he thought for a while and proposed a solution, "You can copy your own memory and Ghost, because you don't have biological brain tissue, just copy the brain There should be no problem with radio waves and data. Then you won't die."

Luna laughed a little when she heard the words, shook her head with certainty, and told the puppeteer: "That's impossible. The difference between the soul and the program is that the human soul is composed of all kinds of memories. Things, everyone's impression and reaction will be completely different, it is not as simple as ordinary programs, even if the memory is copied, there is no self-core, it is just data, and who can guarantee that it can be completely copied in the process of copying? Is there no omission at all? A small memory may be a very crucial key! When I was a child, I was an adult, and I was old, I may have completely different or even opposite choices when dealing with the same problem. But after copying Luna, it may not be like this. When Luna thinks that there are countless Lunas who are exactly the same and nothing new in the world, she feels terrible, just like now, although Luna and Sister Suzi use the same Prosthetic bodies, but because our souls and memories are completely different, Batsang can easily recognize us!"

"A unique memory creates a unique person. Even if the memory itself is like a vain dream, will people still rely on the memory to survive? I understand." The puppeteer's voice slowly dissipated like smoke, "Luna, You taught me a lot and next time I see you, I will be my own self."

Huh?Why are you so serious all of a sudden?Luna blinked in confusion, and felt that the puppeteer hadn't spoken for a long time and had really left, so she fell back on the bed helplessly. She just wanted to chat and relax. Why did she start to philosophize?Forget it, don't think about it, philosophy is really not suitable for her, it consumes her brain!

For the next time, Luna was very obedient and obedient. Motoko Kusanagi asked her to sit, but she would never stand up, and Luna was really different from her. She could eat and drink like Motoko Kusanagi, but It doesn't matter if you don't eat it.Luna is obviously still very uncomfortable with her body, her gestures are very stiff, and she can't control her strength, but she is obviously very enthusiastic to help, and often breaks daily necessities when helping to carry things, and then she looks guilty and pitiful She looked at Motoko Kusanagi and begged for forgiveness.

Motoko Kusanagi has a deep sense of powerlessness. If such an emotional person is just a program, how can a real person be distinguished?

After hesitating for a few days, Motoko Kusanagi finally made up her mind. She called Bart over and said seriously, "I want to sneak into Luna's brain to make sure."

"It's too dangerous. No one knows what's in her brain. It's better to bring her to Class Nine for the technical department to analyze!" Bart really objected.Luna stared at Bart sadly with a very accusatory expression when she heard the words. Bart-sang really loves Suzi, and he is really ruthless in treating others for her safety!

Bart felt a little guilty from being stared at, and it was really a foul to use Motoko Kusanagi's face to make such an expression.

"I've already decided." Motoko Kusanagi was unmoved, and still insisted on her decision. She took out the device she prepared, connected the interface to Luna's nape, and then said to Bart with the other end, "Then , let's get started, and if something really goes wrong, send us to class 9."

After speaking, he connected the interface to the interface on the back of his neck without hesitation.
