The capital was bombed immediately, causing more than [-] casualties, and [-]% of the senior officials of the alliance were killed in this attack.At the same time, the climate deteriorated sharply, resources became more and more depleted, production stagnated, food and various daily necessities began to be in short supply, and people panicked. Volunteers from all over the country formed volunteer armies to stockpile arms and ransack major shopping malls under the guise of resisting aggression.Waves of turmoil broke out, and the Union Army couldn't bear it anymore. They labeled all volunteers as reactionary organizations, and solved the local riots forcefully.

People finally found that they couldn't find a way out, staring blankly at the blood on the ground, calling for a break with the alliance.This time, the alliance finally tore off the cloak of singing and dancing, revealing the serious illness underneath.

I'm alive, but I'm not healing either.James stood at the door several times, frowning, and finally turned and left.He knew very well that I would never get better, and I would never be able to live without the medical cabin for the rest of my life, living like a normal person.

I finally felt that the hard-hearted Professor James would suffer because of me.But I don't know how to face him anymore—just like I don't know how to face Shi Wu's death.

In that bombing, we were too close to the blast site, and no matter how hard we struggled, there was no possibility of surviving.I can live because the chip in my head is indestructible, in other words, my brain is the container of the chip, and my consciousness is immortal.No. 15 was a service robot tailor-made for me by James. Later, the experiment was interrupted, and after the data was cleared, they were all sent to the third college and became a group of clumsy mentally handicapped people.

Except for NO.15, even James can't explain why he can grow so fast and behave like a person.James confessed to me that he has been watching me all the time, but Shi Wu is indeed an unexpected existence, but he is not wary of Shi Wu, because NO.15 was born purely for me.

Because of the child who stared at the small round lamp all night, sneaked out but failed quickly, and cried out in fright at the death of the dolphin.He said to me that loving me and protecting me are his highest orders.

He never lied to me.

The news of Peacock was released in the early hours of the morning. Someone found his body in an abandoned factory. The police believed it was a suicide.The person who found his body was very proud, thinking that the damned spy committed suicide in fear of crime. He waved the flag of the alliance and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Down with the aliens! The alliance will win!"

Immediately afterwards, Robb gave up the logistics department that his parents had arranged for him in every possible way, and went to the front line of space with a petition.This time, he didn't contact me again.

Old James has been very busy recently, no one bothered me anymore, I had nothing to do in the medical cabin, and I went over and over again about the things in the college.The paranoid Peacock, the geek Chen Shen and the counselor Robb, we call ourselves the Three Musketeers, jumping around in the college's major discussion forums, discussing what we think are advanced philosophical propositions; criticizing the ridiculous policy of the alliance think tank to cut the masses like leeks; The old-fashioned professors headed by James, with a coffin face, talked about old-fashioned basic theories, as if they were teaching a mentally retarded college.

At that time, Robb said: "When we graduate, my parents can't control me anymore. Isn't this life not so bad?"

The peacock gently stroked his dog's head: "Don't think about the child, it might be worse."

At that time, who would have thought that before graduation, before we grew up, our teenage years would come to an abrupt end at this moment.

I lay in the medical cabin for nearly a month, and finally the old James asked me, if I have hope to recover, but the process may be difficult, would I like to try?

I guessed that it had something to do with the chip, that he had finally made up his mind to restart the experiment and let me be his guinea pig.I feel that I have begun to be a little world-weary, he can do whatever he likes, anyway, I am already like this, no one expects anything from me, and I have no idea about the future, it's a big deal.

I replied to him nonchalantly: All right, as you like.

But I was cheated by him again.

As early as when the alliance was first established, the three principles of robot engineering were written into the program, and all robots must abide by these three principles: do not harm humans, obey human orders, and protect themselves.

In the war with the aliens, the alliance retreated steadily and suffered heavy casualties. Coupled with the public's crisis of trust in the alliance, the alliance finally reached the end of the road.Some councilors had a whimsy and proposed to change the procedures and form an intelligent corps. As a result, they were scolded bloody in the live news.

Such an ironic scene appeared on the electronic screen without any cover, and we all knew that the alliance was about to end.

In the eyes of old James, my rehabilitation is actually very simple, as long as I fully activate the chip and reshape my body according to my own consciousness.But he didn't expect that no matter how he connected the wires and turned on the switch, all the equipment in the laboratory remained silent, only the small round light was on quietly, as if there was a hidden soul lurking in the shadows, silently expressing resistance.

Old James was silent for a long time. He had nothing to do but let me think about it.

It's really hard for me not to think of Shi Wu, is it because he didn't die, didn't disappear, he hid in the boundless virtual network, looking at me as always?

James came back and forth to find me several times, he finally got impatient, and asked me in the medical cabin: "Chen Shen, stop messing around, do you still want to recover?"

I ignored him.Seeing him anxiously getting angry, I suddenly thought of Professor James who jumped at every turn in the Third Academy. It turns out that a person can really have so many faces.

The next day, riots broke out.With so many aliens lurking down, they ignited a big fire together, shaking out the bloody truth one by one.As the secrets buried together in the city of Erth are read aloud in broad daylight, the vague singing becomes shrill and terrifying screams.They looked directly at the camera with firm eyes: "Open your eyes and see clearly, who is the shameful and contemptible bandit! Xue Geng star does not belong to you, for the sake of our homeland, we will fight with you to the death!"

Those who used to discuss the city of Erth impassionedly in the forum, and those who claimed to be righteous were all silent.People can accept a dirty environment, a morally corrupt neighbor, and an extremely corrupt society. As long as they are allowed to express, criticize, and think that the world is dirty and I am alone, they will never have any psychological burden.They are wrong, how innocent am I?

But what if it is a nation that commits the crime and bears the collective shame?When life itself becomes the original sin?

The alliance is completely over.The people, full of grief and indignation, finally found a perfect scapegoat. They hated the alliance's arrogant tampering of history, and hated the hypocritical national pride of the spokesperson.Together, they pulled down the walls of the Alliance and tore the banners to pieces.They took up weapons and fought, and there was blood all over the place again.

I asked James, "Is this what you want?"

He didn't answer, and his expression was particularly painful.

Up to now, the chip still cannot be fully activated, but my mental network is more active than ever. I can freely shuttle between communicators, electronic screens, and monitors, like an AI and a ghost.

After the collapse of the league, the old James finally exposed his ambitions.He calmly gathered the strength of the military, found a political rookie, let him give a speech in a well-dressed manner, and drew one piece after another of peaceful and democratic pies, intending to appease the desperate masses.

But the crowd didn't buy it. The front line couldn't resist the fierce attack of the alien mermaids. The defense line was broken again and again, and countless corpses were floating in space. The army wanted to recruit soldiers, and the crowd shouted: "Why should we die? Don't you want to go on stage? , go defeat them and restore our peace!"

Only then did I vaguely understand what old James was suffering from.

At night, I fell asleep drowsily, and suddenly felt the small round light flicker. Almost at the same time, my brain felt a tingling pain, followed by a burning pain. I wanted to howl, but I couldn't make any sound at all.The medical cabin beeped, and a large group of people gathered in the laboratory to discuss non-stop. Old James looked stern, and he said, "We can only do this."

I was in severe pain and couldn't spare the energy to observe them. They were all staring at the medical cabin, the equipment, and my brain waves. .

For a moment, I felt like I was going to disappear, like apple blossoms in April, slowly falling to the ground; like 26 ℃ sunshine, wandering in the warm air; I saw myself blurry when I left the school gate in the third college His back view is not vigorous at all, but I envy him so, so much.The first generation who stopped me was standing at the school gate, his wooden eyes looked sad, he told me: Chen Shen, you should go back to class.

Old James thought that Shi Wu grew up so fast after being with me, but it was not.He already has emotions and knows how to express them.Lethargy and indifference, strange tastes, picky eating and no restraint, this is not Shiwu, this is me when I was a child.He was not formatted, he hid all his memories in the Third Academy, and watched me quietly as he passed by countless times.

But I am no longer the child I used to be. What is the use of spreading out these habits that he thought he had known before in front of me?

He has never changed, I have been leaving him behind, leaving him alone with useless memories, trying to go back to the past, trying to protect me as always.

I am the liar.

I knew James would let
