Artificial Wizard Growth Log

While Pang Jiuzhou was busy going around, Xia Zuo was dreaming.

A shot of anesthesia sleeps peacefully, and the artificial man who has not slept for a long time falls asleep.

To be honest, a few months ago, he didn't even think he would dream.

Artificial humans are unnatural, and the modified gene base sequence brings not only talents and strengths, but also various defects.

Like xd1001's mania, and Xia Zuo's indifference, are just the most obvious of all kinds of flaws.

And artificial humans with those more fatal flaws are almost impossible to survive.

When Xia Zuo was three years old, xd1002, who was born only an hour earlier than him, died of rapid aging. Before that, xd1003 was born with half of his brain missing, and the rescue was ineffective. xd1004 was mentally retarded and destroyed by researchers. The sentinel was awakened at that time, and he was supposed to be sent out of the research institute after passing the application, but he died of exhaustion during the training.

xd1006 whose body cannot absorb nutrients, xd1007 who has no limbs and eyeballs, xd1008 whose genes have collapsed as an embryo...

death, death, death.

Life, life, life.

Artificial, unnatural, inferior.

Xia Zuo had never had a dream before, and this was the second time he had a dream after entering human society.

When was the last time?

Ah, it seems that it was the first time I attended Professor An's class. Although the back and neck muscles were sore after waking up because of the incorrect posture on the desk, I have to admit that dreaming feels really uncomfortable. novel.

If only he wasn't in the Mister Institute in his dream.

Xia Zuo leaned against the corner of the wall, huddled with hands and feet, thinking.

Why do you dream of being here?

... No, or rather, those memories outside are just a dream?

Search the memory bank and enter keywords: distinction, dream, true and false.

One result was retrieved.

According to folklore, there is no real touch in dreams, which can be distinguished by pain.

Xia Zuo stretched out his hands, and under the almost transparent skin, you can see the shadows of blue blood vessels and bones, slender and slender, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look fake.

He carefully put the thumb and index finger of his right hand together, lifted a sharp piece of flesh from the back of his left hand, paused for a few seconds, and then slammed it down.

The electrical signal is instantly transmitted to the center through the nerve endings, and the brain makes a judgment.

pain.

This is real?

He is in the research institute, isn't it a dream?

So... food with different colors and flavors, sister, Pang Jiuzhou, Li Daolin, satellites of the university, mottled armed skeletons, piles of books waiting to be opened... is it the fake one?

Only then did he feel a chill emanating from the alloy wall behind him, piercing through his too thin white robe and piercing his skin, making him shiver.

So cold.

Is there something wrong with the temperature control system in the research institute today?

He stood up from the ground shivering, the soles of his feet without shoes were still disturbed by the chill of the ground.

want a pair of shoes.

Warm, soft, clinging to his feet.

But didn't he never wear shoes in the institute?Why are you not used to it today?

One doubt after another emerged from the heart of the android boy, like soap bubbles floating up one after another.

He is in his room. The living area of ​​the android boy in the research institute is only three square meters. After placing an alloy bed, there is no room left. Xia Zuo was not dissatisfied with the furnishings in his room before, but now , he suddenly wished that there were two more cabinets in the room.

One is used to hold chocolates, and the other is used to hold books that need to be previewed and reviewed.

Did he ever have those two things?

Standing by the bed for a while, Xia Zuo looked at the closed door.

After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took the doorknob.

The delicate mechanism opens with a soft click.

"You! It's time for today's inspection!"

The door was pushed open abruptly, and the researcher in a white coat didn't care about Xia Zuo who fell on the bed because of his rough actions, and he yelled, "Come out quickly! Don't waste time!"

Subconsciously, Xia Zuo stood up and followed the researcher out.

Yes, every day, the first thing he has to face is a physical examination.

There are people coming and going in the corridor outside the door. Except for the researchers in white coats, there are only robots shuttling along the laser track. The morning of the institute today is no different from every day that Xia Zuo knows. He can’t understand the conversation between men and women The humming of the machine is a bit harsh, and the research institute entrenched on the meteorite is very far away from any star, so there is only pale light in sight in the research institute without natural light.

Obediently taking off the only piece of clothing on his body, several researchers began to discuss Xia Zuo's data today.

"Still not awakened."

"The body is already an adult, and there are few cases of awakening after adulthood. There is little hope."

"Damn it, won't we who are in charge of experimenting with xd1009 never have a way out?"

"Yesterday in the cafeteria, during dinner, Reid from the xd1001 experimental group showed me how much progress their group had made, and at the end he pretended to ask me when I would transfer to another group, I'll fuck him!"

"But it is also true that our group's experiments cannot go on."

"It's better to cultivate new experimental products."

"All the new experimental products have reached the ninth generation, and none of them have survived. I don't know how they persisted every time they fail."

"People also ask how we persisted."

Several people in the laboratory were frowning.

After finishing the examination, Xia Zuo put on the white robe by himself, and then put on his clothes, a researcher called him over.

"Hey, what are you doing with your clothes on? Take it off soon, let's try to stimulate your brain with a pseudo-spiritual ray, and see if it can stimulate your spiritual realm."

It's useless.

The artificial man judged in his heart.

The stimulation of the pseudo-spiritual ray has no effect. Numerous experimental results in the past have proved that this is an expected result.

Even though they thought so, even the researchers who pushed him into the pseudo-psychic ray high-power furnace could have expected it, but they sighed and pressed the power button in a row.

Xia Zuo bit his lower lip while being fixed in a pseudo-spiritual ray high-power furnace by a restraint belt.

The mental rays rushed towards his brain like a tidal wave. Sometimes the rushing tide was cold like frozen ice, sometimes hot like boiling magma, sometimes gentle like a gentle breeze, and sometimes violent like a hurricane rising into the sky.

"Uh... um..."

The artificial man swallowed fine groans.

it hurts!

it hurts! !

it hurts! ! !

Do not come again!He doesn't want to experiment!Don't experiment!it hurts!Let go of his mind!Let him die!

Let him die let him die let him die let him die let him die let him die let him die let him die let him die let him die let him die let him die let him die let him die Let him die let him die let him die let him die! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

At the moment when he was close to collapse, time stood still.

Reality collapses into illusion.

"You want to die?"

The researchers in the laboratory all raised their heads and asked at the same time.

In the entire research institute, there are dozens of researchers, test subjects locked in cages, machines running loudly, human voices, electronic sounds, subtitles on the display screen, and everyone's dull eyes.

They, they, they, together ask—

——"Do you want to die?"

What, what's going on?

Xia Zuo, who was still being restrained by the restraint belt, froze for a moment, and the scene suddenly changed from the laboratory to the incineration room.

The door of the incinerator was wide open, and the fiery red flames were burning fiercely. The spreading flames were like the devil's withered claws, trying to grab Xia Zuo and drag him into the incinerator.

Wait what's going on here? !

Why did he suddenly appear here? ! !

What about science?do you died? !

A bunch of questions rushed through the artificial man's mind in an instant. Xia Zuo was stunned for three seconds and didn't know what happened. The door of the incinerator.

He turned back trembling.

In the incinerator where the flames danced, all the familiar and unfamiliar staff in the research institute smiled at him ferociously.

There was a bright red flame on their faces, and they opened their bloody mouths together, revealing their sharp white teeth.

Neatly, with the same mouth shape, they asked silently: "Do you want to die?"

Echoes echoed in the narrow incineration chamber.

"Then go to hell!"

"Die!"

"die!"

Xia Zuo looked at them and shook his head hesitantly.

"No...I..."

I……

What am I doing?

The artificial man turned his head and looked at the fire jumping behind the furnace door.

Searing, alive, alive.

Unavoidably associated with these adjectives, the disappearance of the restraint belt does not necessarily mean that Xia Zuo is covering his chest.

On the left, there is a beating heart.

A person appeared behind him, silently hugging him in his arms.

Instead of hesitating, Xia Zuo said loudly to the researchers who were about to turn into black shadows, "I'm sorry."

"But... I want to live."

"I don't want to die."

"I also want to live alone."

The dream collapsed in the boy's flat and unwavering narration.

Xia Zuo, who was still an embryo, whose spiritual realm was shattered and whose awakening was interrupted, held back the humming in his head, and said to the sentinel who enveloped him with the warmth of his embrace, "Okay then, live on, xd1009."

In reality, Pang Jiuzhou's spiritual power merged into Xia Zuo's unformed spiritual realm, forming a phantom of a young sentinel.

"Live on, Xia Zuo." The phantom formed from the subconscious smiled, and touched the artificial man's brow with his fingertips, leaving a small imprint.

Until the moment you and I finally meet honestly, before and after, I will protect you, my guide.

***

The android snapped its eyes open.

Before his eyes reacted to the dark room, a face he had just seen in a dream appeared in front of him at close range.

Pang Jiuzhou grinned grimly, and cracked his finger bones.

"Mr. Xia Zuo, can you please die?"
