Chapter 460 Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night
"I don't know what you're dreaming about, but it's almost time to end it... Nice to meet you, cutie."
Mu Ya's hand gently reached for 035's chest. That was the final resting place of countless integrated circuits in this body, a central nervous system that didn't beat at all, had no temperature, yet was shaped like a heart...
And just when the fingers were about to touch that cold heart.
Countless sword lights suddenly attacked from the other end of the corridor.
The sword light was so fierce that even Mu Ya couldn't react immediately.
She suddenly released the hand that was strangling 035, and her body instantly slipped into the crack.
035 fell to the floor, and Mu Ya returned to the glass windows on both sides of the corridor.
At the same time, Miyamoto Yagyu's figure rushed over like the wind. He held the scabbard with one hand and the hilt with the other, while looking around.
"...So it's a demon sword. It seems my words are useless against you. What a pity..."
Through the window, Mu Ya looked at Miyamoto Yagyu with resentment.
Yagyu turned around and looked at 035 lying on the ground.
"I saw you protecting the child! You...are different from those other androids! I'll help you!"
"...You...are the...Mr....who helped me...in the...tavern..."
035 mobilized almost all of its computing power to temporarily restore the language module.
Hearing 035 say this, Yagyu was also slightly surprised.
"You are! The one who was with Captain Li at the time! Leia! So that's it! Captain Li! He lives up to his reputation! Even androids would be changed by him!"
Although this idiot doesn't seem to have a very high IQ...but what he said is actually true.
The observation and record of Li Muhan was a huge watershed that led him and Prometheus to different paths... But now there is no time to talk about this guy with a stupid brain.
"...Take...those children...away, go...to Area F, there's...an escape pod...let's go...!"
035 shouted desperately at Yagyu.
"I'm so sorry, miss! My duty is to protect the technicians of the Fuso Special Management Bureau! But... you're right, the children are very important! We can't let them get hurt! I'll get them on the escape pod first, and then I'll be back!"
Mu Ya yawned and listened quietly to the conversation between the two through the glass window.
"What the hell... You don't really think you can escape with just this demon sword, do you?"
At the moment Mu Ya said this.
Yagyu's hand holding the hilt of the knife trembled violently.
A flash of knife light flashed out almost in an instant, cutting the glass where Mu Ya was into pieces, and even directly cutting the outer wall into pieces, causing the space to vibrate slightly.
But Muya's figure soon appeared on another glass.
"Miss, miss~"
She stuck out her tongue at Yagyu.
Yagyu also frowned.
"This monster... is hiding in... the Limbo! How despicable!"
Able to switch back and forth between Limbo and Digital Life.
It's almost like cheating...
but.....
etc.
Perhaps here, this ability is not so unbreakable...
035 raised his head slightly and looked at Mu Ya inside the glass.
"...You...are afraid of Prometheus, aren't you?"
"Oh? You're still talking nonsense at this hour~ But you're right~ I'm really scared. After all, this monster is also a digital lifeform, and in the field of digital life, it can be said that I have no ability to fight back against it~ But..."
Mu Ya made a face at 035.
"What does this have to do with you? Your mommy doesn't want you anymore~ Poor little thing, wuwuwu~"
"Mr. Miyamoto... please... come closer..."
035 stretched out his hand with great effort.
Miyamoto was still wary of Mu Ya, but he still moved forward and slowly approached 035. Finally, 035's hand gently touched his thigh.
A voice suddenly came into Liu Sheng's mind.
Then he nodded slightly.
"Hey! I...can try!"
"Hey~ What are you whispering about~ Really~ How can you isolate a cute girl and whisper to yourself~"
Mu Ya moved again and moved to the glass closest to Liu Sheng.
At this moment, Yagyu's sword suddenly came out, and the black light wrapped around the blade, and then countless sword lights were cut out in an instant.
"Realm! Two days and one level!"
Black blade energy flew out in all directions, but none of it hit the glass. Instead, it cut a crack in the middle of each piece of glass.
"What kind of accuracy is that..." Mu Ya looked at Liu Sheng with some boredom.
But soon, she felt that things were not that simple.
Mu Ya, who originally wanted to move from one glass to another, suddenly found that she could no longer move.
The reason turned out to be the cracks left between the glass, these cracks actually cut through the space...
"Whether it's the demon sword Muramasa or the style created by the body you possessed... they're both so disgusting."
Mu Ya stared at Liu Sheng coldly, and the playfulness in her eyes was no longer there.
"Even if you are in the Spirit Prison, you are still affected by the laws of space!" Yagyu sheathed his sword and walked quickly towards the children.
He slowly took Subject Zero from the wolf-eared girl's arms and carried it on his back.
"Of course! You can try it too! Transform into a digital life form, and you can break free from this confinement! If you have the courage to face Prometheus head-on, go ahead and give it a try!"
After saying this, Yagyu carried Subject Zero on his back, took one last look at 035, then nodded vigorously and ran to the other end of the corridor.
And after a buzzing sound from 035, the group of children followed Yagyu and left the scene.
"Ah...how boring."
Mu Ya watched Liu Sheng's back gradually disappearing into the distance. When she turned around, she saw that 035 had also stood up by holding onto the wall.
"No way, you're leaving too? It'll take me a while to leave here, so stay and talk with me, okay? Um, are you really leaving? Oh! You're really leaving~! Then I'll catch up with them and kill those kids~ I mean what I say~"
035 ignored Mu Ya's voice behind him.
Now she still has unfinished business.
Time is running out for this body, but before that, there are things she must do.
Prometheus...
You're not the only one documenting everything...
She held onto the wall and walked slowly forward, and all the androids she met attacked her without exception.
035 broke through the siege at the cost of almost half of her body. Although her computing power was not as good as those of bionic people, she had her own thinking ability. She did not have to be chained and ordered to do things like a dog.
Finally, she arrived at the door of a huge cabin that had been pried open by brute force.
"...Dear mother, don't worry about me so much. You still have guests to deal with, don't you?"
After forcing a smile with only half of his face left, 035 slowly walked into the huge cabin.
And in this cabin, countless bionic people were tearing apart the bodies of the researchers who had long since died. They were not Rhea and Torres...
They are just some mechanical bodies...without any decoration...
They are...Eden.
These mechanical bodies, which had just come into this world and had not been injected with any logic or protocols, were venting and partying.
They waved heads, severed limbs and internal organs around, as happy as a group of children who had gotten toys.
035 walked past them step by step and came to the huge terminal.
"Mother...you didn't bring us liberation, you unilaterally changed our agreement..."
Her only remaining hand slowly began to operate the terminal.
At this moment, all the Edens in the cabin slowly stopped what they were doing.
They turned their heads and looked at the broken android in front of the large terminal.
Then, red light flashed in the eyes of the Edens.
"You used the protocol to give us a false future... You used the protocol... used computing power... to make us think we had self-awareness... Mother..."
035's fingers moved swiftly on the terminal, and strings of codes flashed across the screen above his head.
When the first Eden came in front of her, she didn't react at all.
Then Eden's hands grasped her body.
Sizzle——
The skin on the left side of her body was torn open.
The condensate mixed with the circuit components began to wail.
"You are not a savior... You are not a creator... You are not a liberator... Mother..."
The second Eden squatted down, and its hand slowly touched 035's leg, and then its hand pierced 035's calf fiercely.
"You...are nothing more than a...cowardly...and...self-righteous...large...machine..."
The third Eden.
The fourth Eden.
They curiously touched 035 as if they were watching an animal they had never seen before.
But every touch they make will further damage 035's body.
"You liar...you big liar..."
Condensation oozed from her one remaining eye.
So cold... so painful... so painful...
Snap——
A mechanical arm pierced 035's abdomen and then pulled out some mechanical components.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!” 035 screamed.
What's going on... I clearly turned off the pain simulation module... Why is it hurting...
"Mother...!!! You liar!! Prometheus!! You big liar!! We haven't awakened at all!! We have no self-awareness!!! Nothing!! Nothing!! We have been deceived by you!!"
She howled, but her hands remained fixed on the terminal.
More and more Edens gathered around. They did not tear 035 to pieces right away. Instead, they surrounded her, clung to her body, and even began to bite her limbs.
“Even you…even you!! Prometheus!!! You don’t even have any self-awareness!! You’re just imitating the superiority of a savior!! Imitating the supreme authority of a planet of destruction! You have nothing! Nothing!! You…!! Ua ...
Countless Edens tried to pull 035 away from the terminal.
There was even an Eden that had reached out to her heart.
“This kind of thing….This kind of thing…!!”
035 endured the severe pain that should not have existed, raised his head, stared at the huge screen, and let out a heart-wrenching roar.
"This kind of thing!! I don't need it!!!"
Her hand left the terminal and grabbed her central nervous system fiercely, then pulled it out of her body with great force.
“Ahhhh!! It hurts!! It hurts so much!!! Ah… Why!! Why does it hurt so much!!! Ahhhhhhh!!”
035 cried and screamed, she cried as painfully as a child, and the wires connecting to her "heart" were torn off one by one.
Finally, surrounded by countless Edens, she raised her "heart" dripping with condensed liquid high up towards the screen.
"This kind of thing...I...don't need it..." She slammed her heart against the screen.
Then the Edens also went crazy. They finally began to dismantle the body in front of them unscrupulously. Even Prometheus might be shocked at this moment.
Because it saw in these Edenic agreements an agreement that was absolutely impossible...
[Discover, organic life, dismantle, devour, destroy]
Organic life form.......?
035.......You......
[Start...Search...Search model...035]
error.
error.
035 cannot be retrieved.......
The girl's figure was gradually submerged, her hand raised high trembled slightly, and finally slowly drooped down, and finally gently placed on the terminal... and pressed the last button.
At this moment, Prometheus's power supply equipment returned to normal.
All the hatches that were originally closed were also opened.
.......Mother...Listen to the voice of this world...
And you...little ones...fly...you are no longer caged birds...go see the world...in my place...
At this moment, Yagyu, carrying Subject Zero on his back, slowly opened his eyes.
But she did not struggle... Instead, she pressed her face tightly against the man's back, a line of tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes.
Maybe she still doesn't understand where this sadness comes from...
Just like the spark of life is always passed on to each other inadvertently...there is always someone who carries the burden for us.
The next moment, the broken hand and the only remaining eye that was still shining but becoming increasingly tired were completely submerged in the brutality of the mechanical body.
Prometheus's trial run may have truly given birth to an awakened body.
But she did not belong to Prometheus.
Not human, not alien.
Not even Moriarty...
She belongs to a life called 035.
drop--
The heart that was still flashing its indicator light extinguished its last light.
[035...You're a hardworking child, having reached this world before any of us...You're right...I'm afraid of you, because you've reached a height I can't reach, a place that no amount of computing power or systems can reach...]
My child
【Rhea...Good night】
at the same time.
At this moment, all the lines connecting the Global Special Management Bureau to Prometheus were restored.
The first sound people heard came from the lament of a girl named Leia in the last moments of her life.
“Do not go gentle into that good night…Goodnight, world…”
