Starry Sky Railway: I Intruded with the Heart of God

Knowing she had gotten herself into trouble, Qiao An dared not stop the two any longer and quickly led them inside.

Perhaps if she had a better attitude, Estella would have given her a lighter punishment...

She reopened the isolation door to the medical department, which she had previously blocked, using her access privileges.

Mo Li picked up her phone and said to Estella, "Thank you for your help, Estella."

Estelle said, "There's no trouble at all. Just tell me what happened."

“No problem.” After Mo Li finished speaking, Aistar hung up the phone.

The two then entered the medical department, where two figures turned around.

One of the figures was indeed Sheila, but her movements were somewhat stiff, and she stared straight ahead, seemingly oblivious, resembling a robot.

The old man must be Gunn. He looked at the group that had suddenly barged in and said, "I was treating a young guide from the Forensic Science Department. What brings you all here?"

Xingmei directly questioned, "Is this treatment?"

Gunn replied, "There was a minor mishap, but it's nothing serious."

Joanne said, "She appears to have only lost consciousness briefly; her vital signs are fine."

"Did I reset her to factory settings?" Mo Li wondered.

“That’s right, Clerk Joan, I think we’ve already reached a consensus that Sheila will return to normal soon, provided that you wait outside,” Gunn said to Joan.

Joanne's attitude suddenly hardened. She said, "I'm sorry, Clerk Gunn, but I think you'll have to come with me to Station Master Estáe's office later. If we tell these two the truth now, you might only need to write a self-criticism."

Gunn's expression changed noticeably, and he continued, "Is that so... Then let me introduce myself first. I am Gunn, the founder of the Legal and Political Science Department. As you can see, I possess the knowledge and authority commensurate with my age. If you do not leave now, I will summon the defense officers on the grounds of interfering with normal medical procedures and have these two young men taken away."

This was the first time Mo Li had ever met such a stubborn old man.

"Interesting. What kind of permissions do you have?" Mo Li asked with great interest.

Joanne said, "His authority is second only to Section Chief Alan and others..."

"Oh, I see. Sorry, I have the same permissions as Alan and the others." Mo Li took out his A-level permission card. Upon hearing this, it was clear that his permissions were second only to Alan's, meaning that his actual permissions were not as high as Alan's.

Plus, with my authority at the same level as Alan's, I'm determined to show off this time. Even the Black Tower can't stop me.

Gunn was now a little confused.

This kid doesn't seem like someone who has made any outstanding contributions, so why does he have a higher level of authority than him?

Seeing that she had the upper hand, Xingmei said directly, "Hmph, this is perfect for the Defense Department to get involved in the interrogation."

Gunn's expression changed, and he said, "Young man, what makes you say that? Don't be hasty, perhaps there is some misunderstanding between us."

Why are you holding my manuscripts? As far as I remember, they've been gathering dust for a long time.

Now Gunn doesn't even refer to himself as "I" anymore, but directly refers to himself as "this humble person".

The old man knew he had bitten off more than he could chew this time.

Gunn continued, "To be honest, my only hobby is studying Fool's Plays, and sometimes I get the urge to write some scripts. They are purely fictional and should not be taken seriously."

Since you have many questions, let's have a calm and peaceful discussion; perhaps we can turn conflict into harmony.

Mo Li said to Xing, "Go, my mouth double!"

Xing rolled her eyes at Mo Li speechlessly, then said to Gu En, "Your manuscript mentions a mysterious experiment."

Gunn said, "The so-called experiments are nothing more than my personal interests, such as cultivating alien flowers and plants and imitating the chapters of Fool's Play."

You wouldn't be so far-fetched as to suspect it's related to what's happening right now, would you?

Xing continued, "Sheila is repeating the script you wrote beforehand."

Gunn: "...Oh, you've already spoken to her. You wouldn't notice this unless you checked carefully."

Let me put it this way: the so-called script is just a fictional creation based on Sheila's voice, with some secondary processing.

This explanation should clear up your confusion.

Xing said, "That's why I suspect you have ulterior motives."

Gunn said, "This is just your suspicion. Do you have any other evidence? If not, we don't need to continue this conversation."

“I don’t think the videotape can lie to me…that’s right, it’s the videotape!” Xingmei suddenly grasped a key point.

"...What videotape? I don't understand what you're talking about." Gunn was still trying to argue, but his tone became somewhat uneasy.

Xing: "I've seen you in the videotape."

Joan: "Huh? That can't be right, how could you have seen Gunn in Sheila's videotape?"

Based on the current age difference between the two, if you saw a young Gunn in the videotape, then Sheila must have been just an infant at that time... This doesn't match the videotape.

Unless, the Sheila before us isn't the one injected from the videotape, nor is she the real Sheila Nova.

"You've been talking for so long but haven't gotten to the point. Let me do it." Mo Li pulled Xingmei behind him and said, "This Xila, is she an android you created?"

Xing: "What?!"

Joan: "Huh?!"

Gunn knew he couldn't hide it any longer and had no choice but to come clean.

"Well, now that you've found the videotape and mentioned androids... it's impossible to hide it any longer. I didn't expect such a small experiment to attract the interest of outsiders."

What happens next may shock you, but no matter how sensational what you see or hear may be, please be patient and wait until the end.

Xingmei, instead, hid behind Mo Li, peeking out from his shoulder and saying, "I'm actually feeling a little bit of anticipation..."

Mo Li teased her, "I think you just enjoy watching the drama unfold."

Xingmei scratched her head and chuckled.

Gunn said to Sheila, "Sheila...back online. We have some questions for you."

Sheila: "...Okay, Mr. Gunn. But I'm feeling a little unwell right now."

Gunn said, “Now you can give her some instructions, such as ‘pray,’ ‘sing,’ ‘shout.’”

Make sure you do as I say first. Remember, the instructions include "praying," "singing," and "shouting."

Mo Li said to Xing Mei, "Go and give it a try." Only then did Xing Mei reluctantly step out from behind Mo Li.

Mo Li felt so safe with him behind her.

At this moment, Hilla stood still, seemingly devoid of her own consciousness, and was undoubtedly the android that Mo Li had mentioned.
