"So you told Dino that?"

Lucas jumped up from the stool, looking at Jimmie in disbelief.

"That's right, 24 is his robot, don't tell him who to tell."

Jimmie picked up the olive in the wine glass and put it in his mouth, smiling indifferently.

Lucas glanced at Jimmie incredulously, and thought for a while helplessly, then turned around and was about to leave.

"No, I have to save 24."

"Don't go."

"No, I have to go, you know that guy... that guy is Dino.K! With his personality, he will definitely! He will definitely..." Lucas shook Jimmie's hand that was holding his arm, and his voice suddenly dropped , "He will definitely ruin 24. When 24 came, he sent 24 back to the company without even thinking about it. You don't know how stupid he is!"

"I know, calm down," Jimmie still grabbed Lucas and didn't let go, "But have you ever thought that this incident is not a trivial matter, if that's the case, even if Dino ruined 24, I don't think it's wrong. And if it came to any of us, I'd probably choose to do that, because that's the right thing to do."

Lucas looked at Jimmie in shock, as if Jimmie was talking nonsense.But for a moment, looking at Jimmie's serious eyes, and thinking about Jimmie's words carefully, Lucas froze again.

Well, Jimmie is right, if 24 is really like that, there is really no other way around this matter, 24 is destined to be destroyed.

"But even so...I don't think 24 is like...he looks so harmless..." Lucas rested his forehead on the bar of the bar, "Why do robots...have to be destroyed? They may also Will become a good partner of mankind."

"Yes, you are right, so the entire human society has to bear the risk of being exterminated to accompany you to verify whether this possibility will come true?"

"What you said is not objective. There are so many creatures that are dangerous to humans in the world, and I haven't seen humans execute them all."

"Oh, so according to what you mean, if robots rule the world, then we can be raised in cages with peace of mind?"

Lucas glared at Jimmie, "I can't say no to you, but I still don't think 24 will become like that, at least I don't want to watch 24 die, so I still have to save him!"

After speaking, he turned around and left again.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we don't know for sure," Jimmie hurriedly grabbed Lucas again, "24 is Dino's robot, it's up to Dino to decide what to do, we are not qualified to do that. Besides, you really Do you have so little confidence in Dino?"

"What do you mean?"

Jimmie saw Lucas' confused expression and smiled, "You, you are born to be a big fool."

Who is Dino? He's so determined.

So the important thing is, where did he use his stubbornness.

Undoubtedly, for a professional technician like Dino, there is only one road ahead of him, and that is to destroy 24.

But what would he do if he couldn't see the road, or what would he do if he already had a more important consciousness than this road in his heart.

Just like at this moment, after Dino and 24 confronted each other for a while, the first thing they asked was, "Where did you go?"

No, are you hiding something from me?No, are you no longer an ordinary intelligent robot?Rather, where have you been.

24 didn't realize how long Dino's brain circuit was to ask him this question first, but he replied immediately, "Outside."

"Outside?" Obviously such an answer made Dino feel very dissatisfied, "I don't want to say it, do I? Okay... okay, so what happened this time and came back late?"

"Miscalculation."

"So I don't care where you go, can't you leave me a note in this situation?" Dino suddenly stood up and walked towards 24, "You have to let me know what you are going to do in the future..."

Ah, it turns out that in Dino's opinion, they still have future plans.

So for 24, is it the same as what he thought?

This time, Dino is still the first to go to 24.

It's just different from last time, Dino stopped after walking a few steps.Because he found that as he stepped forward, 24 also took a few steps back.

It's not that Dino doesn't understand that 24 probably regards himself as a dangerous existence at this time. After all, 24 is no longer an ordinary robot. After all, by now, he should have become the one that destroyed 24.But seeing 24 lowering his head slightly and staring at him slowly backing away with wide eyes, Dino still felt uncontrollably sour.

He was avoiding him.

After getting along for such a long time, in fact, in a sense, 24 has never approached Dino proactively, and Dino has never expected that 24 will approach him spontaneously.He understands what a robot is, and he knows that robots always need orders, so he never expects that 24 will take the initiative to approach him. He thinks that 24 should just keep standing there and wait for him. Anyway, he can approach him, the same .

But even this is not enough, with emotionless eyes and defensive actions, Dino never thought that 24's first move after gaining self-awareness was to stay away from him.

He was afraid of him any more.

It turned out that the two had lived together for so long, but he didn't believe him at all?

So is this the so-called always just a machine that has no flesh and blood, no emotions, and can only survive through calculation?

He doesn't want to do this!

So Dino's gaze sank, watching 24's tone deliberately cool down, "Give me another step back and try?" He said and took a few steps towards 24.

As a result, 24 obviously didn't care about Dino's threat, and immediately took several steps back as Dino approached, and even had a tendency to move further and further away.

"Stop, stop, stop," Dino sighed desperately, and quickly waved his hands, "I won't go, and you don't want to go back, okay? You should get out of the house in a while."

Originally, Dino had an idea and just wanted to say something joking to ease the atmosphere.However, as soon as these words came out, 24 tilted his head, slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the entrance, and then turned back to stare at Dino.

???

What's the meaning? ? ?

Dino, who noticed 24's behavior, felt that something was wrong. What does it mean? He wanted to...

After understanding what 24 might be thinking at this time, Dino suddenly felt a little flustered.

So he swallowed, stretched out a hand to 24, and tried his best to say to 24 in as gentle a tone as possible, "24, come here."

But 24 just looked at Dino's hand with a blank face, and then looked at Dino again, his eyes wandering between the person and the hand.

"What's the matter?" Dino pursed his lips, and continued to work hard, like treating a child, "Come on, 24, come to me."

24 remained silent, his eyes fell on Dino's hand holding the painting and did not move.

Dino looked at the painting in his hand following 24's gaze, "Yes, I understand, but it's nothing, you don't need to be afraid."

24's expression loosened for a moment and finally opened his mouth, "I don't know what it feels like to be afraid, is it the same as recognizing danger?"

"No, it's a little different... But it's okay, I can teach you, it's okay if you don't understand, 24, you come here first, I'm not dangerous."

"But maybe you think, I'm dangerous, right?"

Dino froze.

"You will think that I will hurt you, so you will consider me a danger, right? Are you afraid of me?"

24 looked at Dino questioningly.

And Dino was obviously embarrassed when he heard this question, and whispered without thinking, "Then will you hurt me?"

24 looked at Dino, his eyes suddenly lowered, and then he smiled slightly, as if he was laughing at Dino for asking a stupid question, and the clear boyish voice seemed cooler than before, "The robot is No harm to humans, so you don't need to think I'm a danger, sir."

When Dino heard the words Mr., his heart ached, and he looked at 24 suddenly, "What did you call me?"

But 24 didn't answer his question, but still lowered his head and whispered, "You don't need to be afraid of me, sir."

Dino couldn't take it anymore, "24, you misunderstood, I don't think you are dangerous, listen to me, you come here first, I won't hurt you."

Come on, 24, come on.

Dino swallowed, and tried his best to reach out to 24, he didn't want to think about anything now, he didn't want to think about the destruction of the world, or robots dominating the earth.He only knows that the current self will collapse even when he hears 24 call him Mr. who is full of distance. He only knows that if he loses 24, it is better to let him and 24 be ruined together.

He doesn't want to think about anything now, the important thing is how to get 24 to come over quickly!

But 24 obviously couldn't understand Dino's feelings, he just looked at Dino, and slowly took another step back, as if he was going to turn around and run away in the next second.

"Do you dare to disappear in front of my eyes like this?" Dino gritted his teeth and stared at 24, then pointed to the painting in his hand, "Where do you want to go? Here? So you have been looking at the sky. What are you thinking? Freedom?"

"Part of it."

"Living with me makes you feel unfree?"

"No, sir."

"What sir?! What is sir?!"

"You, sir."

Hearing this answer, Dino was instantly annoyed, "Are you trying to piss me off?!"

24 blinked, looked down at his toes and said nothing, the expression on his face was still neither painful nor itchy, obviously even if Dino was really pissed off now, he wouldn't feel anything.This is of course, 24 has always been ignorant of emotions, so he can't understand why Dino is so angry, and even if he understands the meaning of anger, he still can't understand what it feels like to be angry.

But Dino is different, he is a person.

So he wouldn't let 24 just disappear before his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, the pace under his feet did not stop even after seeing 24's retreat this time.

It doesn't matter, if 24 can take one step back, then just let him take two more steps; if 24 can retreat more, then just let him walk towards him twice as much.

Dino should be very clear about what the existence of 24 is to others and even the whole world, but he knows even more what the existence of 24 is to him.

Very selfish, right?

But that's who he is.

"If you must feel that this place is not safe, then you should leave."

"But I'll go with you."

"You think you made me into what I am now, leaving such a mess and slapping my ass and leaving? Don't be kidding."

"I can't allow you to leave like this."

Dino is one step away from hitting 24.

"Because you promised me that you would never leave me."

24 looked at Dino thoughtfully, what was calculating in those clear eyes, I am afraid that no one but 24 himself would know.

He promised him.

Later, 24 still allowed Dino to touch him without accident, and then fell into a familiar embrace as usual in the next second.

"Scared me to death." Dino hugged 24 tightly and couldn't stop stroking his head, then let out a long sigh of relief, "From now on, don't be so mad at me again."

People will die.

Because I thought, I almost lost you.
