Starry Sky Railway: I Intruded with the Heart of God

Seeing someone approach her, Sheila said, "Hello, my name is Sheila Nova, a guide from the 'Black Tower Galactic Law Department'."

What Xingmei said next left everyone present stunned.

"My sister hit me."

Mo Li: "?!"

Joanne shouted, "Hey! What are you doing...?"

Gunn said, "...While the instructions include, but are not limited to, the three I just mentioned, this one is clearly not in the script's settings."

Please do exactly as I say.

Xingmei gave the order again: "Hila, sing."

As Xing instructed, Sheila sang a tune.

Joanne asked, "What exactly happened?"

Gunn said, "That's right, clever people may have already guessed the secret..."

The reason we've ended up in this situation is because my initial experimental design was too idealistic... I thought that by relying on the script and technology, I could recreate a lifelike Sheila.

Unfortunately, with a limited script, it's ultimately impossible to simulate normal human reactions in most situations.

"Then why are you writing your own scripts? You might as well develop a machine learning module. You've spent most of your life researching and your thinking is still so rigid. You're really going backwards as you get older." As a senior AI trainer, Mo Li could totally shut him up. This was something he already knew before he transmigrated.

“You’re right. After I finish explaining, I’ll take her to install a more advanced machine learning module.”

The reason I showed her the old videotapes was to help her gain more public awareness.

But I didn't expect that this Hilla... or rather, the cognitive abilities of prototype 157 had exceeded my imagination.

She began to think more and more like a real person, realizing that there had once been an exact replica of Sheila in this world, to the point that she began to doubt her own existence.

This is extremely dangerous for an android.

Xing nodded and said, "They really are androids."

"That's right, the experiment I'm referring to is this young Sheila in front of you, who looks exactly like a real person."

Her prototype, the co-founder of the Law and Politics Department, and... my love, Shira Nova, perished in the vast sea of ​​stars long ago.

The reason I built the prototype 157 was simply to make up for the regret of not being able to save my lover back then.

Once this stand-in realized she wasn't the real person, to prevent her from developing cognitive dissonance, I had to repeatedly erase her memories, restore her settings, and maintain her normal operation.

Xingmei became somewhat angry after hearing his words and said, "You shouldn't have erased her ability to think independently!"

"No, on the contrary, I think this deprivation is necessary."

Her awareness of amnesia and her plea for your help both conceal the risk of the experiment going out of control.

So when I heard that Sheila was receiving treatment from Officer Joan in the medical pod, I rushed over immediately to try and "correct" her perception again.

As expected of Mo Li's mouth double, Xingmei said directly, "You won't succeed this time."

When Gunn heard her say this, he nodded and said, "Things have come to this point, and I really can no longer go my own way."

Regardless of how we handle Sheila, I implore you not to make this experiment public. The ethical issues involved will inevitably be investigated by the Department of Law and Politics.

Let this be my small prayer for the sake of this old man mourning his deceased wife.

Mo Li shook his head and said, "Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. Go to Estella and explain the situation yourself. Maybe Estella won't pursue the matter too much. But if the Security Section and the Legal Section really find out about you, you can expect to ruin your reputation in your later years."

Xingmei chimed in, "Exactly! Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!"

Gunn let out a heavy sigh.

Joanne then said, "I'm just an observer, my opinion doesn't count. You two, I think there are three paths before you now."

First, inform the prototype 157 of the truth about her background.

Second, correct and restore the factory settings of prototype 157.

Third, destroy Prototype 157 and erase this dangerous experiment from the history of the space station.

"You can decide who the masterminds are who pulled out all these secrets... As for Gunn, I'll keep an eye on him."

The two exchanged a glance, and Mo Li indicated that she could make the decision herself.

Xing nodded and came to stand in front of Gunn.

Gunn asked, "Are you really sure about this?"

Xing nodded and said, "Please tell Hilla the truth."

Gunn was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, since you all insist, I will tell Prototype 157 about the ins and outs of her background."

How she will react is beyond my control.

Gunn took Sheila away for a while.

Mo Li then looked at Qiao An and said to her, "You did well. I can put in a good word for you with Está."

Upon hearing this, Qiao An almost knelt down before Mo Li, but Mo Li quickly helped her up, saying, "What are you doing? I don't do that kind of thing."

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Joan said excitedly.

Mo Li ignored her.

A short while later, Sheila returned. As for Gunn, he told Moli and the others that he had gone to confess to Station Master Está.

Joanne asked Sheila, "How are you feeling?"

Sheila sat on the bench and said, "It feels like I had a long dream."

Xing: "Do androids dream about electric sheep...?"

Mo Li: "Why don't you ask the Black Tower Doll?"

Sheila continued, "I dreamt of cold space stations, lovers parting ways, huge planets, and silent radios."

So, I am a mechanical double for a living person... My life is a clumsy imitation of another.

My thoughts, words, and even my daily actions are all products of Mr. Gunn's pre-planned design.

How ridiculous...

After learning about the rich life that "the other me" had, I so wished that I too could have my own birthday, my own friends, and my own dreams.

Mo Li interrupted her at this moment and said, "No, you are no longer anyone's replacement. No one will reset you from the factory settings. From now on, you will walk your own path. Cheer up."

"Can...I really do it..." Sheila lowered her head unconsciously.

Mo Li continued, "You can do it, come on."

Mo Li extended his hand to her.

Sheila looked at her hands, which were indistinguishable from real hands, and after thinking for a long time, she finally took Mo Li's hand.

Sheila has a human heartbeat, dreams, body temperature, and the ability to think for herself; therefore, she is a real human being.

"Thank you, you're so kind," Sheila suddenly said.

"Hmm, that's the only bad thing about Hilla," Mo Li thought.

“You said you wanted a birthday that belonged to you, so let’s set it for today, how about that?” Mo Li said.

"Really...is it okay?"

“Of course you can, because we’re all your friends, and we can all have dreams too,” Mo Li said.

Xing: "There will be bread too."
