Chapter 46 Responsibility

While the metal head closed its eyes, the girl in front of her trembled. First of all, a pinch of hair in front of her forehead stood up. Then she opened her eyes and exposed her red pupils. Then her indifferent face came to life in an instant. She first moved her hands and feet, and then trotted in front of Li. After two steps, he said happily, "Brother, how's it going? My body is not bad, right?

Li looked at the huge machine that had been silent, closed his eyes and motionless metal head, and then looked at the girl who had become alive in front of him. For a moment, he was a little unacceptable. "What's going on? Did you run into this body from that big machine?

"Brother, don't panic. Although it looks a little similar to the legendary demon possession or something, it's not a demon now. It's your cutest sister."

Why are you still pretending to be cute, you 9,000-year-old monster? Li's heart was slandered, "That's not what I mean. I mean, what kind of virtue have you made yourself?" Li shook his head and said, "Are you still a human like this?"

All the expressions on the girl's face disappeared in an instant. She asked indifferently, "So is Astalt still a human being? Seeing beautiful women will not have men's normal physiological impulses. Don't be afraid, don't know how to be afraid. There are two hearts and three lungs. The height of a normal person is far greater than that of a normal person, and it is necessary to make chemical adjustments every once in a while, otherwise the deformed body will collapse. Fight on the battlefield all your life and use yourself as a weapon. Brother, is such an Astarte still a human?

"Be careful of your words, my sister. Astalt is the glorious guardian and the pride of the emperor. We give up all the ordinary life that belongs to human beings in order to protect human beings.

"Isn't the essence the same? Turn yourself into a monster in a sense for a noble goal. Am I the same? Of course, I will not deny that there is a little selfishness in my behavior, perhaps more than a little, more, a lot of selfishness in it. But what about this? I have a lofty goal. I am on the great road, but I am very happy on the journey. I have some expectations and longing. I believe that one day my dream will come true! There is nothing to hide. The ocean of endless knowledge is like heaven for me. But do you really want to condemn me for my pleasure? Do I have to make a sad face and make a deep sacrifice to make you satisfied? Fei Wen said angrily, "What's more, I didn't hurt anyone. This body is made of my own DNA. The electronic brain in the body allows her to work independently even if I'm not there, but at that time, she was just a machine, a puppet, not a real human being. It's the same, but I'm much better than those mechanical scum. Only when I landed on the body did she have a soul. Just like using a program remotely, you can log in by connecting the right port, the right user, and entering the correct password. How perfect, the only drawback is that landing operations can only be performed within the far-range galaxy. What's wrong with me doing this? I did what you should have done, I guarded the secret, I guarded the family, I was loyal to the emperor's will, I enjoyed it, and I didn't hurt anyone!"

Li Zhang was speechless. Fei Wen is doing what she thinks is right and does not hurt anyone. In her opinion, the unharmed people certainly include herself. Although in Li's view, this kind of behavior is undoubtedly harmful to himself. He experimented with his own body, played with his own human body, and made his own body into an inanimate puppet, a device used to land, which itself is a denial of the self. Can human beings really do this to themselves? This is a human body, and it's not Windows.xp. What else is logging in and logging out? But Fei Wen herself didn't think so. What can Li say?

"I don't know what to say," Li felt a little headache. "I didn't say that you didn't do it right. I just don't think you cherish yourself enough. I just don't think you have to make yourself into..."

"No need to say," the girl waved her hand and said decisively, "Brother, you are just pitiing me. Looking at my current appearance is different from that of ordinary people, 'Why is it fun to live in a steel shell like such a ghost? Is it still a human being like this?' It is this superficial idea that leads to the conclusion that my current situation is very tragic. What a superficial feeling."

"But you said you were tired."

"It turns out that it is because of this sentence," the girl suddenly realized, "Brother, I think you misunderstood that I am not tired to live. Long-term survival is not a burden for me, because as long as I am still alive, I can continue to explore, the pursuit of truth is endless, and the exploration of knowledge is endless. I'm just tired and doing meaningless things in the same way. It's fun to explore secrets and swim in the ocean of knowledge, but the existence of covering up secrets is not fun, which can only make people bored. Now that you're back, everything will be perfect. I am responsible for pleasant exploration. The knowledge I get will bring you enough benefits, and you are responsible for covering it up for me. It's very simple for you. You don't need to do anything special. You just need to do what a lord should do.

"But you shouldn't be like this. I hope you will be happy. You should dress like a normal person, wear beautiful clothes, and then marry a good family, have several children, and have a husband who loves you..."

"Then, like all women, they die meaninglessly in the tears of their relatives. It's enough to live a mediocre life. Thank you, just hearing those words makes me feel vomiting, which I haven't experienced for thousands of years. I don't think it's necessary to discuss this kind of thing in depth. Whether I'm happy or not, I know that we were adults 9,000 years ago. I have the right to choose my life. I don't need you to dictate, even if you are my brother.

Li sighed, "You're right. I really can't do this."

"Very good, so..." Saying this, Wei Wen was stared, and then said, "Well, it seems that we have reached a consensus. Everyone is very busy, so that's it. A judge of the trial court is entering the galaxy. At the same time, she sent a mission message. It seems that something has happened. Brother, you can do what you should do. You should be able to see the new equipment when you come back next time. I think you will like it then.

"Well, I'm leaving," Li said, "Don't worry."

The girl pointed to her body and said, "Take No. 74." Then the girl closed her eyes, and the erect hair on her forehead seemed to have lost its strength and drooped again. When the body opened its eyes again, it had lost its luster in her red pupils, and her face returned to indifference again. Fei Wen disappeared from the body. Perhaps by standard, she had cancelled the body. Then the huge machine moved again, and the mechanical head opened its eyes.

"Goodbye, brother."

***

I still took the subway back, but there was one more person on the way.

In the rumbling carriage, Li could no longer read and rest at ease. He looked carefully at the woman standing aside. She was still dressed like a real person.

"Is your name No. 74?"

"Yes."

"Why No. 74? Well, I mean, why is it 74 instead of 1, 2, 3, or other numbers?

"DNA cloning technology is a very high-end and difficult technology to figure out. Even the mechanical god religion can't master this cutting-edge technology now, and no scientific experiment can be successful for the first time. I am the 74th sister."

"What about your previous sister?"

"They are failures and have been destroyed."

Li's face showed a strange look: "Did you die?"

"It's destruction," No. 74 corrected and said, "Only human beings can be said to be death, and we are not human beings."

Because it's just an item, it's easy to destroy if it's not done well? Fei Wen, you take human beings, no, this kind of thing has nothing to do with human beings. What on earth do you think of your own body?

Li secretly gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sigh and say, "I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize for this," No. 74 said with a smile, "I won't feel sad at all."

Li looked into No. 74's eyes, and his red eyes were like two empty eyes, lifeless. Li couldn't help shaking. Such an unnatural thing like a doll made him feel a little uncomfortable. Li asked, "Since you can't feel sadness, you can't feel joy, sadness, guilt, hatred, love and so on."

"Yes, I don't have human feelings at all." No. 74 explained, "Actually, you can think of me as a mechanical slave with a special purpose. As long as this body is not completely destroyed, I can work normally. Even if it's destroyed, it's just a little trouble for my mother. You don't need to care at all.

is just a doll that can be abandoned at any time, so it doesn't matter anyway? Li's heart trembled. What is this? Is it implying her fate? Are you condemning your sins? What exactly is she trying to say?

Why are you so unlucky and have such a thing?

All kinds of thoughts gathered and intertwined in Li's mind, and finally turned into a mess, just like throwing a basket of scattered wool balls into his mind and then shaking them desperately. He patted his face, and then went to the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of brandy. After drinking three cups in a row, he exhaled a sip of wine. At this time, Li felt that he could think.

The first thing to determine is whether you should help Fei Wen and whether you should stand by her side.

This question has been answered almost without going through the brain. Of course, I want to help her. After all, Fei Wen is her only sister.

But is she really her sister?

Huh? Stupid question. Li laughed at his cowardice and slapped himself.

Of course she is Robert. Li's sister, isn't Li himself?

It is irrefutable that Fei Wen is a relative connected by her own blood. Although she doesn't know whether it is electric current or oil flowing in her body now, one thing that will not change is that the two have the same father.

Li asked himself what he had done? The answer was extremely clear. He did nothing. When his soul came to this world, he got a strong body, a glorious name and surname, and a huge power that ordinary people could not imagine in their lifetime. There was nothing to pay, and it was so easy to get it, which made Li feel a little uneasy. What is too easy to get is a little unreal after all.

I feel that the whole person is light, as if there is no weight of feathers.

If you just think about simple acquisition, be satisfied with what you get now, and then enjoy it easily, then such a person is just an asshole.

While a person obtains a noble identity, he also naturally obtains the corresponding responsibility.

Although Li is just an ordinary person, with all kinds of problems of pleasure, leisure and hate work, he is still a man after all, and as a man, he should not have the idea of evading responsibility.

This is the difference between a boy and a man. Children don't need to be responsible for doing something wrong. They just need to apologize, while adults have to take responsibility for themselves and even the faults of their loved ones.

And Fei Wen is the responsibility on Li's shoulder.

Yes, in the final analysis, I am just an ordinary person from the earth in the 21st century. Speaking of empire, emperor, human beings and so on, although it is noble, it seems to be a little too high. Li always feels that some things are too ethereal and too far away. Only this only relative, this headache and sad sister, makes him feel the real weight.

His feet seemed to step on the earth steadily again, and his whole body was full of strength.

I have decided to help Feiwen, so how should I help her?

Nowadays, there is something wrong with her mind. Li can understand that no matter who puts himself in a metal body and lives tremblingly for 9,000 years, it will become a little abnormal. Mental problems can be communicated slowly, mainly hard work, and she will always change.

The first problem now is concealment, and then keep the danger away.

First of all, it was hidden, which made Li feel a little uneasy.

Li looked at No. 74 standing in the corner, which was the source of his uneasiness, a young and beautiful girl, a mechanical slave worker. The two are so uncoordinated, just like an unusually beautiful girl who goes to work with a manure-digging worker. This is too rare and eye-catching. As long as you are a normal person, you will not associate the two.

"Do you have any disguise?" Li said, "You can't just go out like this. It's too conspicuous."

No. 74 nodded, then took out a standard gas hood mask from her cloak, put on a pair of old big scalp boots, and then zipped up the open robe - a standard mechanic slave appeared in front of Li.

It's like no one cares what the dirty beggar looks like on the street. Whether the beggar is healthy, dead or alive, the people around the beggar just cover their noses and walk away quickly.

In this world, no one cares about the life or death of a mechanical slave laborer, and from a certain point of view, mechanical slave labor is more despicable than beggars.

"Ha, it's really a wonderful disguise." Li no longer worried about No. 74. "Then after I leave, blow up this tunnel."

"Yes, master."

After that, pretend that nothing has happened, do your own thing, and let the secret be buried deep in the ground. Then find an opportunity to keep the danger away.

***

Out of the secret channel, Li, who had just returned to his study, received the news that two important figures were waiting for him on the Silver Wing.

An old acquaintance, beautiful but cold judge Elizabeth. She wears a white combat nun-style power armor. The armor is full of complicated decorations in the style of nuns, and there are letters with medals hanging on her shoulders. Another one has never seen it, but has been marked as "dangerous" by Li. The dangerous guy is wearing a dark green robe and eight robotic arms behind him. He has a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses on his white face and a trace of anxiety in his light blue eyes. If he doesn't look at the flamboyant robotic arm behind him, he looks like a quiet scholar. There is no doubt that this person is Gustav, the manufacturing director of Zhiyuan Planet 3.

When Li saw the two people in the conference room of the Silver Wing, their faces had already indicated the urgency of the situation.

Li put aside the prepared greetings and asked directly, "What the hell happened that made you two come to me together?"

Elizabeth made a gesture of invitation to Gustav, who was sitting on the other side, and said, "This is your planetary director of the Zhiyuan-3 casting world, manufacturing director Gustav, Gustav, this is the governor of the galaxy, Lord Lee."

"Hello, Lord Li," Gustav stood up and bowed and said, "I should have congratulated you on your first day in office, but I have been unable to escape because of some things. Because the situation is too urgent, I can only come to ask for your help now."

"Oh?" Li Jing asked in astonishment, "What needs my help?"

"It's about STC."

Li's heart and lungs almost jumped out of his chest like this. He had just seen his sister know the great secret about STC, and then decided to help his only sister. The first thing to do was to hide the mechanical god religion.

As a result, the secret was not warm in my heart, and I said it here.
