Chapter 144 The dim stars will turn into pearls
Qiuqiu was not surprised by the decision made by Xingxing.
On the contrary, when Qiuqiu heard Qinan say those words and pointed out that he was originally involved with the identity of the protagonist, he had already guessed what Xingxing's reaction would be.
There was no commotion during the time.
It also replied softly: "Okay."
Although it was a task he had issued, and although it was his unresolved obsession, at this moment, Jixing did not want to make things difficult for the little tasker who was holding him.
"You're right." It looked at the scavengers and humans outside the safe zone who had surrounded Qinan and them, and said in a cold and childish voice, "I shouldn't have compared my importance in his heart with Lin Ye from the beginning."
They are not the same species, so how can we compare them fairly?
Love is a luxury for humans, but for non-humans...
Shi Sheng's deep blue eyes reflected the blood mist and broken flesh splattered after the human body was pierced by the weapon, but his body moved backwards, silently approaching the always warm embrace of his tasker.
Only the purest love, without any consideration of interests, can make non-human life develop a greedy plundering and guarding heart for the sake of this love.
After all, where do these non-human creatures get their hearts from?
What condenses into a heart and makes it beat can be a lot of love or sufficient energy.
Energy can be classified into high, medium, low, superior or inferior, and love... can naturally be classified in the same way.
Shisheng has already obtained the purest and cleanest energy.
If it were to live again, it would not want to be tainted by all that terrible and messy filth again.
So among the constantly splitting and disintegrating limbs and arms, Shi Sheng agreed to Xingxing's sudden idea without hesitation.
"Can I withdraw the mission?" Shi Sheng looked up into the air.
Qiuqiu flew over from another direction, flew to the point where his sight fell, and then sighed and replied: "Boy, withdrawing the mission is not a joke. This mission opportunity was exchanged for its own life and soul. If it is withdrawn, nothing will change. Shisheng... will become Pole Star again."
The mechanical doll that Xingxing made with her own hands and watched as it opened its eyes would then turn into the intelligent system in Lin Ye's god-level mecha.
“…”
The two children who got the answer fell silent.
Xingxing pursed her lips and hugged the cold and stiff mechanical doll tightly in her arms, ignoring the occasional attacks that splashed on her and Qi Nan's increasingly rapid breathing due to exhaustion. Amid the dangerous shouts and screams, it was unusually quiet.
The Pole Star was only briefly silent.
It quickly made its own decision.
But when it turned around and looked up to speak, a warm little hand gently covered its eyes.
It was pitch black before my eyes.
The shouting and screaming seemed to gradually fade away.
After a long while, the soft but firm voice of the little robot came from above his head: "Shisheng will never become a Pole Star again."
The beautiful stars should not be plucked, their light wiped out and become dim.
If it has already happened.
That star also wants to steal this star and hide it.
Hidden in the clam shell of time and space, over the years, the gray stars slowly turn into bright and shiny pearls.
Shisheng is no longer a shining star.
But Shisheng will turn into a shining pearl.
"I'm doing the mission." Xingxing said the compromising words softly, without the inhuman coldness or the human unwillingness. She was still soft and slow, and promised word by word: "Xingxing will do the mission well, and Shisheng will live freely."
It gave Shisheng a new life, and at this moment was also willing to give Shisheng the freedom he most desired.
So it let go.
While Qinan was dodging the attack, he stuffed the space button filled with energy blocks into the "heart" of the mechanical doll, which was originally used to store energy, and then released his hands.
——Let the mechanical doll roll out of his arms.
The stars did not look back.
But it knows that when Shisheng leaves it, it will be like a life that is not bound by the gravity of the planet and will be able to freely go to the sea of the universe that belongs to it.
Because Shisheng is a string of real data.
And I am just a fake little robot.
What Xingxing can't do, Shisheng can do.
In this world where the entire universe is informationized, Shisheng, who breaks free from the shackles of humanity and gains absolute freedom, will be better and more shining than the so-called protagonist.
Xingxing turned on the live broadcast again, just when Qinan killed the last "scavenger".
The barrage quickly became dense.
They all saw the mess on Qinan's body, and everyone was discussing what happened to Xingxing.
Xingxing's arm was only half destroyed by a stray bullet, and his body data was just disordered, so he was about to fall into hibernation.
After starting the live broadcast, Xingxing said nothing, but let the audience see his empty arms, his right arm that was crackling with sparks, and... the product number of the smart mechanical companion on his neck.
Polestar-019.
It will use this number to take a completely different path from its previous life.
It gave Pearl new life and freedom, but it also wanted to give the dim star a lot of love and choices.
As it went dormant, the live broadcast was also shut down.
But the "exposure" of the stars gradually caused the star network in this star field to become boiling.
An intelligent mechanical product has been broadcasting live for so many days like a real child and no one has noticed anything. Doesn't this mean that... intelligent mechanical products really have a certain level of intelligence and can even create indistinguishable disguises to deceive humans?
There is an old saying that goes, when you find a cockroach in your home, there may already be a whole nest of cockroaches hiding in the house!
This companion robot cub, which can broadcast live and has its own thinking and behavioral abilities, is the first "cockroach" discovered at this time.
But the culprit who caused all this turmoil has fallen into hibernation and knows nothing.
Qiuqiu looked at the fallen Star with its eyes closed. Even though he knew that it had no sense of pain, would not be sad, and would not die, he was still anxiously running around beside it. He wished he could push the old man Qinan away so that he could repair the Star and wake it up himself.
And Qinan himself was in a desperate situation because of Xingxing.
He really didn't expect that this little robot would be so bold, or ignorant, and actually exposed its difference from ordinary intelligent machines so clearly! !
Now his light brain accounts on various platforms are almost filled with all kinds of private messages! !
Some people want to study, some want to buy, some want to negotiate in a friendly way, some want to threaten directly, and some want to check the location directly...
Qi Nan could only be thankful that his account had been processed through layers of processes. But even if those people could not trace him back in a short time, as long as they persevered, even if it was like fishing for a needle in a haystack, those people at the top of the pyramid would eventually get what they wanted.
So the first thing he did after returning was not to repair the stars, but to destroy everything on his body that might expose himself.
However, when it was finally destroyed, his eyes finally fell on the broken little robot.
After all... this is the biggest flaw he might expose. It's useless to deal with those things. The most important thing is how to deal with the culprit in front of him.
In fact, the solution is very simple, which is to take out the chip from the star's body, and then leave here quickly with the chip, or even find a way to leave the planet.
But Qinan hesitated.
Even netizens can see the specialness of Xingxing through a few short live broadcasts, so how could he not see it?
He recognized the specialness of the stars at first sight.
Even if I had always been on guard, even if I had never really treated Xingxing as a child, even if...
But the little robot's companionship these days, his occasional "shocking remarks", and the conversation on the way to the safe zone this morning...
Qi Nan was shocked to find that his hesitation at this moment was because he was afraid that Xingxing would be completely "dead" after the chip was removed.
He was afraid that the chip only carried memories but not emotions or even a living soul.
He was afraid that after taking out the chip and creating a new body, what he would get was just a Polestar-019 without emotions and soul, instead of a star that would call him grandpa in a soft voice.
The only mechanical prosthetic eye was spinning wildly, as if reason and emotion were fighting fiercely in the intelligent head behind it.
Take the chip, or take a risk?
Reason told him to make a decision when necessary.
But that little bit of emotion was pulling at the string of reason, making it impossible for him to convince himself to make an immediate decision.
So, Qiuqiu just watched Qi Nan do nothing and stared blankly at Xingxing's "corpse".
And this daze process lasted for a full three weeks! !
Qiuqiu even felt a sense of urgency from his long silence and daze, as a single thought could decide the life and death of a star.
Qiuqiu: “…”
It sighed helplessly, for itself and for this unfortunate human.
The stars were originally very well behaved stars.
Xingxing never likes to make things difficult for others, let alone make others make difficult choices.
Generally, when others have to make a choice among the options available to them, the stars will escape in advance, not listening to the answer, not expecting the result, because the voice of the heart will always tell it the truest answer faster than words.
After all, the only time someone made a choice for him, Xingxing lost miserably.
From then on, the star would subconsciously choose to escape and discard when encountering such a situation, just like the decision it had made before.
But now that Xingxing has made a promise to Shisheng, it no longer has the option of escape.
It used to have supernatural powers, but now it can’t use the voice of the heart to judge human choices, so it can only gamble with its life.
This was the second time Xingxing gambled with Qinan. The first time was with his freedom, and the second time was with his life.
This small creature, however, bets bigger and more ruthlessly each time it faces Qi Nan.
But Xingxing is not sure that he will win.
The stars just... throw the choice question to humans in advance.
If you can't escape, just face it immediately.
If he wins, Qinan will get a living star.
If he loses, Xingxing will take away the protagonist's golden finger for Shisheng.
Before it went into hibernation, it had already thought that even if this body died, as long as the chip existed, the pearl it had hidden with its own hands would never turn into that dim star again.
