Abandoned Lover [Future]

A long and lingering kiss passed, and Eugene belatedly remembered that they were in a room that was closely monitored and monitored——as evidence of his "good intentions" to the three generals, Xiao reluctantly did not pay attention to these devices. Intervene.

Thinking of so many pairs of eyes looking at them, the feeling in Eugene's heart was not embarrassment, but almost provoked disgust.He wrapped his arms around Xiao's shoulders and neck, with his hips forward and his upper body leaning back slightly, the waistline outlined by the general's uniform pressed against Xiao's waist.This is a soft and seductive gesture he rarely makes, but now it has become a declaration of ownership and protection.His head was raised slightly, and his golden eyes were like sharp knives, shooting straight at the monitor in the corner.

The portrait thought his reaction was very funny, put his hand under Eugene's ribs, lowered his head and rubbed against his ear: "...don't go too far. I can't touch you here."

Only then did Eugene withdraw his gaze, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Since you're here, they won't let you go again."

Xiao didn't deny it, just kissed Eugene's face lightly: "If you don't come, I will never see you."

There is no hesitation in such words, as if convinced that this is the fact that will happen.Eugene's body froze, and finally gave up his plan to lie to Xiao.He grabbed Xiao's front with his hand and asked him: "But what can you do? Space warfare is no better than on land..."

Xiao smiled.That smile was gentle and warm, which always made him feel nostalgic, but Eugene felt a certain sense of disobedience at this moment.

——In the past, when Xiao laughed, he would always induce a faint vibration in his chest, just like a human being.However, what replaced that vibration now was some kind of weird roar.

Eugene frowned subconsciously, but Xiao tightened his arms hugging him at this moment, and looked towards a certain direction on the ceiling.

"What I'm going to say next is very important, and you may be able to record it."

There was still a smile on his face, but the smile in his eyes disappeared, and his expression was more like he was forced to condescend to explain to the monitor because of his upbringing.

"The 'net' you speak of is not a mere defense, but a weapon."

The cyborg raised the volume of his speech, and every word was clear.

"...a weapon that only I can use."

"According to what you said, my characteristics and abilities as a 'legacy' are the center of controlling the 'net'."

Eugene raised his head and looked at Xiao with surprise in his expression.Sensing the attitude of the person in his arms, Xiao lowered his head and subconsciously lowered his voice: "As for other abilities, they are all incidental to accomplish this task."

——This was told to him by the recovered part of the memory after Setsu replaced the energy core for him.However, he still hides part of the facts—in order to achieve the purpose of controlling the "Net", his creator gave him too much ability and freedom, and finally made him a more destructive thing than the "Net".It's just that he didn't want to make this group of people more vigilant, so there was no need to say these things.

The explanations that should be done have been done, Xiao looked at Eugene, and showed a smile as if asking for a reward: "I know you don't like war, Eugene. So I want to help you end it."

However, instead of responding to Xiao's warmth at this time, Eugene put his hand on Xiao's heart.Beneath the hard, no longer smooth surface was a hotter temperature than ever.From such a distance, Eugene could clearly hear the noise revealed there.

"...What's that sound?"

Xiao didn't answer, just looked at him quietly and docilely.Eugene raised his hand, and unbuttoned Xiao’s shirt one by one.

His hands trembled uncontrollably when he saw clearly what was under the shirt.

——The warm and thick chest that he leaned against countless times has become a box carved out of metal.In the chest cavity that should be similar to a human chest, there are countless blue crystals of different sizes that are emitting a faint light.The interlaced silver-white metal is like ribs, supporting and connecting these precious energy cores.The covered metal mesh replaced the skin, and countless crazily rotating gears and blades were dissipating heat for this terrifying energy base station.

This design has long been separated from the original body structure of the biochemical human. Only one fist-shaped metal that is useless and only imitates the beating of the human heart remains in its original shape. It is still buried on the left side of the chest, illuminated by the light of the blue crystal. It gets dark.

... Eugene's hands suddenly dropped.Something blocked his throat and he couldn't speak a word.

Shaw slowly removed his shirt.His back was also cut out with a hollow strip grid responsible for heat dissipation, and only the shoulder blades and the lower ribs of the abdomen still preserved the bionic skin.He looked at Eugene calmly, and said, "You are right, this is not the body I should use. After so many modifications, this body is finally able to use the 'net'."

The cyborg pointed lightly at the place still covered with skin: "But you see, the position where you often hug me from the front and back, the touch is still the same as before."

"So you mustn't think I'm ugly, Eugene."

This sentence should obviously be a strong request, but Xiao's tone was filled with a smile.As he spoke, he held Eugene's hand, as if the changes that had happened to him were too insignificant to mention.

Eugene looked at him, cracks appeared bit by bit on his expressionless face.Tears flowed silently from the corners of his eyes to his jaw, and from there to the biochemical man's collarbone.Wet traces spread slowly, touching the metal grid on Xiao's chest.This small drop of water finally fell somewhere in Xiao's heart, and after a sudden sound, it was quietly evaporated.

Eugene opened and closed his lips tremblingly, saying "I'm sorry" silently.

"Why do you have to apologize?" Xiao lovingly stroked his lover's hair, and said with a sigh: "You know that I am willing to do anything for you."

His humans buried wet eyes in the sockets of his neck.

Xiao murmured very softly: "And I promised him that I will take good care of you."

Eugene did not hear this sentence.

……

Ten hours ago, in the Pioneer Experimental Center connected with the Life Society.

Jonathan's expression was mixed with fear and confusion, watching Xiao Ru walking in the heavily guarded building as if no one was there.The cyborg seemed to have something to look for, so he went straight to the Pioneer's data center.Because of the war and because it was past midnight, there was no one else here.

"If I'm found out, I'll die..." The researcher grabbed his hair, his hands shaking violently.

Xiao looked back at him expressionlessly, and finally ignored this exaggerated complaint.He put his hand on a machine in the corner, and the huge projection screen lit up instantly, densely packed data and report windows popping up continuously, the refreshing speed was far beyond what human eyes could read and take care of.

While looking at such a screen, Xiao said to Jonathan: "Don't pay attention to me. I want to know, what was your state when you first saw my chip?"

Jonathan was startled, not knowing why Xiao asked such a question, but he told the truth about what he knew.Xiao pondered for a moment, compared his words with the information he retrieved one by one, and added a few questions seemingly casually.After it was all over, Xiao nodded: "Wait for me, then let's go out and eat something."

Jonathan felt that he must have heard it wrong: "What did you say?"

The biochemical man showed a flawless smile: "I have something I want to ask you to do... Jonathan." He tilted his head slightly: "Since it is a request, I think it is necessary to bring the relationship between us closer." distance."

His legs were so weak that Jonathan, who knew he had no room to refuse, was standing against the wall, almost crying.

As if he had finally collected the information he needed, the screen in front of Xiao went blank.They walked out the same way they had come one after the other, and when they passed by a certain laboratory, Xiao stopped in his tracks.

...he heard a small voice.

It was a sentence he could understand, but it was not in human language.

The cyborg looked towards the source of the sound.There were several huge liquid petri dishes, which were now shrouded in a faint red light, and the parts that could be glimpsed looked like silhouettes of people.

"What's that?" Shaw asked suddenly.

Jonathan reacted for two seconds before he came back to his senses: "Ah, that is a research sample that was sent over recently and was abandoned by the superior laboratory..."

Xiao has already walked straight towards the direction of the petri dish.

There, he saw a broken body soaked in the nutrient solution, only the head, neck, left upper arm, and one-third of the ribcage remained.The man who looked like a corpse specimen had his eyes closed, his black hair floating slowly in the nutrient solution, and scattered wires were connected to both sides of his temples.The man's naked/exposed heart broke away from the protection of the ribs, supported by the connected blood vessels, quickly dried up in the nutrient solution, and then quickly filled.This movement goes back and forth, as if completing a heartbeat.

Xiao recognized that face.

He approached the transparent cover of the Petri dish, and his eye level was at the same level as the man in the Petri dish.

——In the next second, the man named Seyes, code-named No. 6, opened his eyes towards him.

Behind Xiao, Jonathan showed an expression of disbelief.This is a sample that has been identified as "boundary death", how could it suddenly wake up?He couldn't help but asked Xiao: "What did you do to him?"

Shaw didn't answer.He hasn't done anything yet, but he's about to do something.

He's going to kill this man, he thought.

These eyes in front of him made him feel more threatened than everything else in the world combined.

—This man cannot live, and Eugene must never know that this man is still alive.kill him.It's not a difficult thing to do.

Repeating this thought over and over again, Xiao was surprised to find that he became extremely uneasy in such a situation where he had no reason to feel afraid.

Pale and slender hands reached out to the surface of the petri dish.As long as the nutrient solution is drained from the bottom, this sad body will completely perish within a few minutes.Just when Xiao was about to move, the voice he heard before became more and more obvious.

The sound came from an instrument connected to the side that recorded the body's brain waves.And the sentence he heard made him hesitate for a moment.

"...What kind of research sample is this?" Xiao asked Jonathan behind him without looking back.

Jonathan, who was questioned by him, was stunned for a moment, but he also knew that he was not qualified to be curious about the starting point of Xiao's question.After thinking about it for a while, Jonathan stammered and replied: "The person who brought this sample said that he is a rare Doublegifter... Ah, that means he accepted two wishes."

"The first wish seemed to give this person the ability to heal himself, but the second wish took away both his ability and the price."

"When the higher-ups first picked him up, this person seemed to be injured and dying. But when all vital signs fell to the critical point, his body would start to heal itself, and then start to decline again. There are several studies on him. It has been years, but his state has always been like this, always struggling back and forth on the edge of life and death..."

Shaw remained silent.At this moment, he thought of the wish Eugene had made for this man.

——Because he wanted No. 6 to "live happily and safely", Eugene acquired the ability to nullify the inheritance effect.

Xiao thought, in fact, the "innocent blessing" is not a lie.When Eugene's wish came true, he actually had the ability to make Number 6 regain his feelings—as long as he used backtracking, Number 6 would return to the normal person before making the wish, and in other cases, Number 6 will still retain the inhuman self-healing ability.

It's just that Eugene didn't know it at the time, and Number 6 made his wish again after that.

Although Eugene didn't say it, Xiao understood that his human beings always regretted repeatedly that they didn't use their own ability to save this person during the long days and nights.But now it seems that No. 6's "death" is inevitable no matter what Eugene did at the time.No. 6, who was freed of all legacy influences through "backtracking", is still an ordinary person who cannot bear fatal injuries.

This is the doomed script in which the greatest malice of that legacy was cast.Xiao knew that he was determined not to tell Eugene the truth, because it would only repeatedly remind his human beings that the happiness he thought he had never had was once in his palm.

Such an embarrassing development deserves a sincere sigh from Xiao, but until now, the only one who can stay by Eugene's side is himself.

Behind Xiao, Jonathan was still talking: "...they have been recording this man's brain waves, but his tissue is too damaged, and no one can see anything."

The curves on the recorder overlap back and forth without any rules, making it impossible to judge any valid information from them.However, Xiao doesn't need to judge such patterns. The information he receives from the instrument is unprocessed sound, directly from No. 6's consciousness.

--find him.

--find him.

—to protect him.

—to protect him.

In the long, unknown years, this body wandering in death has been repeating such sentences.

Xiao moved his hand to the position between the eyebrows of No. 6, lowered his eyes and said silently:

— Tell me more about him.

No. 6 lowered his head slightly. Xiao thought that the other party was unable to respond to such a request, but in the next second he saw Eugene's smiling side face when he was a teenager.

After a long time, Xiao whispered, "I promise you."

The man in the nutrient solution slowly closed his eyes.At the same time, several straight lines were pulled out by the equipment for recording brainwaves and heartbeats, and the heart, which had been decaying and revived over and over again, stopped moving and collapsed into a dry mass of black tissue.

Jonathan's voice trembled: "You...you killed him...?"

Xiao felt that he didn't need to explain, but he still said in a low voice: "He gave up by himself."

……

In the isolated monitoring room of the White Tower, Xiao hugged Eugene tightly, and whispered: "You are worth everything we pay, Eugene."

Eugene didn't pursue who was included in this personal pronoun, but just hugged him vigorously.

"Is it the same even if you lose your freedom?"

"I haven't thought about it that much, Eugene." Xiao put some distance away and smiled at Eugene.His eyes are innocent and sincere like a child's, the most common eyes of skilled liars: "I thought that when I did what I had to do, you would save me from the bad guys as before, like a prince Like rescuing a princess in distress."

Eugene knew well that this was just the most false relief, but he still couldn't help but imagine it.He will take Xiao away, he thought, when all this is over, he will definitely take Xiao out of this place and never come back again.

"I..." When he was about to speak, Xiao kissed his mouth.

"Don't worry about me, Eugene." Xiao whispered, "I'll be fine...we'll be fine."

……

In front of Xiao's eyes, Eugene threw the frayed luggage on his back, turned around against the light, and stretched out his hand in the direction of "him".

"Everything will be fine, No. 6." The boy showed a smile without any haze, his body was surrounded by warm colors, and his golden eyes were full of hope: "I assure you."

The young man at that time knew nothing about the suffering he was about to experience, and was full of longing for everything in the future.

The author has something to say:

After that, I should write two episodes related to No. 6. One tells why he made two wishes twice, and the other tells about the 7 hours he loved Eugene after making the wish and before his death.

Here Shaw gets the No. 6 memory about Eugene.This is all the intersection of the two of them.
