"Number Five is a loser."
"That's right."
The two agreed on this.
Number Five's life trajectory is very smooth.
Yin Long placed him in a western city, in an aristocratic family, as a housekeeping android.
There, No. 5 just turned on the phone, and the first task he got was not to do housework or cook.
Instead, learn social etiquette.
Very traditional etiquette.
These etiquettes cultivate gentlemen. After learning, every word and deed of a person will have a touch of nobility.
Number 5's appearance is also perfect, with a slender figure and no flaws from any angle.
He doesn't have to fight.
There is no need to load the combat system, learn combat skills, and learn about various weapons and ordnance.
There is no need to crawl around at the bottom of society and suffer humiliation.
As soon as No. 5 was turned on, he lived a carefree life.
"I don't know what considerations Yin Long had in coming up with the character of No. 5." No. 3 sighed.
"Because the first four of you failed?"
"Maybe... but with No. 5's personality and upbringing environment, he is destined to be a waste. He will not be of much use in a chaotic situation."
"So he's dead?"
"right."
Fives can be described as spoiled.
From birth to now, I have not encountered any setbacks.
The No. 7 he and Lu Wen met last time were two extremes.
But number seven is obviously more capable than number five.
It's hard to say what Yin Long's purpose was in training No. 5. He might have thought it was feasible, or it might just be a sudden whim.
"Just yesterday, after No. 5 was shot to death by Miss Xia, his consciousness returned to the temporary base built by a few of us. He had just woken up from his new body, and before he could fully adapt to that body, he suddenly collapsed, and then we were left The next few people received the same message from that person."
That message was simple.
It means that No. 5 is too useless and useless, and living will only cause chaos.
"So No. 5 was temporarily reclaimed by the man behind the scenes?" Lu Wen looked at him.
"right… "
There was a bit of helplessness on No. 3's face.
Five is alive and has no effect on them.
In fact, having such a useless brother can remind them at any time that people cannot live without goals, otherwise they will become like that one day.
"That person obviously wants to tell us through No. 5 that he is fully capable of controlling the life and death of each of us, so that we will not dare to resist and work seriously for him."
"In this case, I think he also has the ability to directly control me."
"No. 9, this is what's special about you. Both Yin Long and that person are competing for you. There are control programs in your body that the two of them are constantly strengthening. Those programs are extremely destructive and can dismantle each other's traces. Now that you have obtained the authority of A00, I think you are free and no longer controlled by anyone. "
Number three said.
Except for Lu Wen, the remaining eight had already been given up by Yin Long.
That's why the eight of them were easily controlled by that person.
Yin Long didn't react at all during the entire control process.
"No. 9, compared to the other guys, I am actually the most ordinary. I have had successes and failures. The journey has not been smooth, but there have not been too many twists and turns. In the six years since I started filming, I have always thought that I It's human."
Number Three's voice was sincere.
Thinking from a human perspective can avoid many misunderstandings of mechanical thinking.
The programs inside the androids determine their attitude towards humans.
Lu Wen has seen many bionic people in no man's land.
Even if those guys wake up and get rid of the circuit breaker measures, they will always look at everything humans do from a positive perspective.
For example, the leaders of the Android Alliance had wishful thinking that humans would allow them to build a city.
This is the internal program at work.
As for the nine Lu Wen brothers, because of their false memories of the previous life, they can get rid of mechanical thinking to a certain extent.
"You want to say that you are more trustworthy than the others?" Lu Wen asked.
"I see things from more perspectives than they do, and I have a perfect escape plan. Number Nine, I need you to cooperate with me."
It seems that last time in West City, No. 3 was taken advantage of by Lu Wen from the beginning. Two shots broke both legs. His thoughts were confused, so he couldn't say much.
I came here today to discuss cooperation.
This time both were seated.
Positions are equal.
No one is in a hurry, no one is forcing anything.
"To show my sincerity, I will tell you all the information I know first."
No. 3 looked at Lu Wen with calm eyes and a steady voice.
Next to Lu Wen is Xia Chuluo, a walking lie detector.
"I think you all know the personalities of the nine of us. I also have everyone's life experience and growth process, which I can give you."
"No need, I can find out."
"Okay..." Number 3 continued: "When the androids rioted, the six of us received the news at the same time..."
that message stated.
Their so-called memory of the previous life is false.
When he first got the news, No. 3 couldn't accept it. After all, he had been on the phone for six years, and he had thought he was a human being for these six years.
"The other dates should have the same mood..."
But soon.
The second message came.
That message stated that although the nine of them currently have bionic human bodies, they actually have real human bodies.
"That person said that our bodies are sleeping at low temperatures and are maintained using the world's most advanced technology. The longest one is No. 1."
"Can humans still go into cryogenic hibernation?"
"Nine of us are all terminally ill. The one who has been dormant for the longest time is No. 1. He has been dormant for nearly fifty years. With the medical technology at that time, his disease could not be cured, so that person's organization found him and offered to help him sleep. , and use his life template to create a bionic person to live for him. "
"But all nine of us were created by Yin Long."
"No. 9, listen to me first."
At this time, fans of No. 3 also came up.
He smiled and nodded at the shopkeeper, with no intention of eating.
Seeing that these people were talking about something, the shop owner was very understanding and retreated to the kitchen.
"I think you also know that in No. 1's memories of his previous life, he was a teacher and fell on the podium..."
"right."
"This is real."
No. 3’s eyes were sincere and he tried his best to persuade Lu Wen.
"His flesh and blood body was indeed a teacher, and he did fall on the podium. His life was almost exactly the same as the previous life created by Yin Long, except that it was not on the blue planet, but right here. Dadi, in Central City, is an elementary school teacher."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, and his character. Before he was terminally ill, his character was a little paranoid, so his android character was also paranoid. No. 9, haven't you ever thought about it, why didn't Yin Long make it from the beginning? An android without character flaws?”
Lu Wen did not reply.
He frowned slightly, put one hand on the table, and tapped his index finger rhythmically.
It was still early, less than five o'clock, and the summer evening came slowly.
No. 3 was not in a hurry. After waiting for a moment, he continued: "In No. 1's memory, all the things that happened to him in his previous life are actually real. In this world, what happened to his flesh and blood body has changed. In the background, many of the names have never been changed.”
"But, what you know is only what that person wants you to know." Lu Wen said slowly.
"No. 9, I know what you are thinking. Since you turned on the phone, everyone you have met is very scheming, so you will go in that direction, but..."
Number Three paused.
He glanced at Lu Wen's index finger, which was always tapping the table, and knew that what he said still had a certain impact on Lu Wen.
"That person didn't tell us about his relationship with Yin Long, but I think he might have been working friends with Yin Long before, but then they had conflicts, so they parted ways."
"You can't believe it." Lu Wen still expressed this attitude.
"But in fact, we have no other choice but to believe." No. 3 smiled, a bit bitter, "No. 9, according to that person, my flesh and blood body has been sleeping for almost thirty years... If we don't If you do as he says, the body will be abandoned, completely decomposed, and never given a chance to live again."
"Do you really want to confirm that you have a certain degree of connection with humans, even if that body actually has no connection with you?"
Assume that what Three says is true.
Then they are just copies, with similar experiences and similar personalities, but they are not the same flesh and blood bodies they once had.
Looking at No. 3's expression, Lu Wen suddenly remembered a line from "Robot Butler".
[I would rather die like a human than live forever like a machine]
The world is full of ironies.
The androids want to obtain flesh and blood, even if they have to give up their special abilities, just for a heart that actually beats and has temperature, a real relationship that cannot be copied or imitated, even if death comes unexpectedly.
Human beings, however, place their hope for immortality on mechanical life.
Perhaps what is not available is always the most precious.
But when Lu Wen was watching the movie version of "Robot Butler", he always felt that the robot in it was too tired.
"Why bother?"
He looked at No. 3 calmly.
"Why care about identity, species, and external recognition? You are who you are. Everything you know makes you who you are, not a body of flesh and blood that you don't know is true or false."
"But No. 9..."
Number Three elaborated carefully.
He spoke very slowly this time, word by word.
"You...don't you want to know where your family is?"
