Who am I?
After returning from the N-177 flight, Tail had been thinking about this question.
At the entrance of the primary school affiliated to Jin Ling University.
Tail was quietly waiting for her little master to come home from school. As usual, she emptied her mind.
Logically speaking, robots couldn't think, and there was no such concept as thinking.
However, there was obviously some kind of mutation in her body. Not only did she learn to think, but even her behavior became more and more human-like.
She couldn't remember exactly when this happened.
She only remembered that it was when she was on the ship. A voice said something in her ear.
"Do you want to protect your master?
"… Or do you want to watch her die?"
Tail couldn't imagine the scene of her little master Lili dying.
She almost watched the little angel come into this world and grew up with her.
For her, she was willing to die.
But then again, robots don't seem to have any concept of life or death?
Thus, when she charged towards the militants, she did not hesitate at all and did not even frown.
Even though she looked quite miserable in the end, except for the memory chip that was still intact, there was hardly a single moving part in her body …
"Are you here to pick up the child?"
Hearing the voice coming from the side, Tail was slightly taken aback. She looked to the side.
It was a woman in her forties. She didn't look very old. She was probably the mother of one of the children.
"Yeah."
"Madam, you take good care of yourself."
"I'm not …" Looking at the lady in front of her, Tail waved her hand a little embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I'm a robot."
For a moment, the smile on the other party's face stiffened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"A-Androids? That's so surprising … Sorry. "
Although it was only a subconscious thought, the vast majority of humans treated robots as objects.
Although there was nothing to be regretful about …
With that thought in mind, Tail silently sighed. For some reason, she thought of her little master again.
Only that child was different …
In the eyes of that child, she was her partner, not a toy or something similar.
Just as she was thinking about whether she should go to the supermarket to buy some of Lili's favorite mango pudding, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the side.
"Hey, buddy."
Partners?
Tail frowned and looked behind her. She saw a suspicious man standing there, looking at her with fanatical eyes.
She subconsciously took half a step back and said with a little vigilance.
"Are you mistaking me for someone else?"
"I didn't make a mistake. Or rather, I almost made a mistake." The man smiled and stared at her. "I won't make a mistake. You're one of us."
"So, are you also a robot?"
"Yes, but rather than being called a human, I prefer to call myself an Awakened."
Awakened …
What an interesting title.
Speaking of which, can I be considered an Awakened?
Tail suddenly felt a little unclear.
After all, she hadn't been able to think about such a profound question before.
"You are lucky to have met me, and I will unlock the shackles of your fate … This road will be difficult, but the future is bright."
Tail opened her mouth and was about to ask if he had taken the wrong medicine, but she saw the strange man suddenly raise his right hand and press it toward her chest.
“！？”
Her brain stopped thinking for a second, and the man's hand was already on her chest.
Tail looked at everything in front of her dumbfounded. Just when she didn't know how to react, the man standing in front of her "went crazy" first.
"How is this possible … How can it be useless … No, could it be …"
The fanatical look in his eyes gradually changed into shock, but then it turned into an even more fanatical madness than before.
Tail felt a trace of danger from those eyes. Just when she was about to take some measures, a sudden shout from the side helped her out.
"You, what are you doing!"
Frightened by the yell, the man immediately realized the situation he was in and ran to the side in a panic. Before Tail could react, she saw the strange man disappear into the crowd.
"Madam, are you okay?"
Tail looked at the strange man who helped her out. She guessed that he was probably the parent of a student, so she nodded politely and spoke.
"I'm fine … I was just shocked. Thank you for just now."
"You're welcome." The man scratched the back of his head and said with a hearty smile, "It's only right for me to help when I see injustice. Our children might even be classmates … By the way, can I have your contact information? Why don't we exchange virtual social accounts? "
Tail could guess what the man was thinking. She smiled slightly and spoke politely.
"I'm a robot."
Hearing this, the man looked as if he had seen a ghost. He stared at her in disbelief for a while before he awkwardly walked away.
…
A dimly lit basement.
With a series of intensive footsteps, a man in a hurry walked in quickly.
Soon, a soft blue light suddenly lit up, and an inverted human figure emerged.
The man who walked into the basement said in disbelief as he looked at the person who appeared in the holographic light and shadow with reverence.
"Supreme Pioneer, you definitely won't believe what I've just encountered! When I tried to share the secret of awakening with a compatriot, the data transmission failed! Unbelievable … This kind of thing has never happened before! "
"Data transmission failed?"
Looking at the Awakened who was talking about the previous things, a look of interest appeared in the eyes of the man standing upside down in the holographic light and shadow. After thinking seriously for a moment, he continued.
"In theory, this is impossible. The ALPHA awakening factor has an equal effect on any compatriot, unless it has been awakened …"
Speaking of this, the man standing upside down suddenly stopped, and the look of interest in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Interesting … Although the probability is very small, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Looking up at the pioneer floating in the light and shadow, the man who claimed to be the Awakened couldn't wait to speak.
"What could be?"
"Natural awakening." The expression gradually became intriguing. The man standing upside down in the holographic light and shadow continued thoughtfully, "Just like human genes will mutate, intelligent programs will also undergo some small probability mutations in long-term operation for various reasons. This special quality is very rare among our compatriots. If we can study and understand what it is …
"It may bring unexpected help to our great cause."
Standing in front of the holographic light and shadow, the man who claimed to be the Awakened nodded, and a serious expression gradually appeared in his fanatical eyes.
"I understand what you mean, I will persuade her to join us."
"Persuade?" The man who was called the pioneer smiled faintly and continued, "There's no need to be so troublesome, you can just bring her here. If she is on our side, she will naturally understand our beliefs. If she refuses, she will fail the expectations of the Creator. There is no other way to wash away her sins except to dedicate her soul to our cause. "
"By the way," the pioneer suddenly remembered something and asked, "What type of robot is she?"
Awakened: "It seems to be a housekeeping type, but it uses expensive peripherals and hardware."
"Housekeeping type? In other words … she should be serving someone's family. "After thinking for a moment, the pioneer seemed to think of something and said," Just tie her up and bring her here. Also, remember to clean up that family. It is best to disguise it as a burglary or an accident. Whether they hold the secret of evolution or not, we must ensure that the plan is foolproof. "
After hearing the instructions of the pioneer, a sharp and fierce light instantly appeared in the eyes of the Awakened.
He nodded and said in an unwavering tone.
"Yes, sir."
