Chapter 188 Deep Virtual Reality 15
It started raining again. Xie Ning brought in the clothes and blankets that had just been dried and aired out. They didn't smell of sunshine, but rather a faint dampness.
A small, floating mechanical ball drifted onto the balcony. Xie Ning tapped it lightly with the clothesline pole to stop it from getting closer. "Hiding and showing its tail, I don't welcome guests like that here."
She has made progress in the past few days, and she can tell at a glance that it is a projection-type mechanical ball that is not dangerous, but what is its purpose?
"Xie Ning, born in Liya Welfare Home in Puyang District... graduated from Reston Federal Institute of Technology, and was invited by Huarui Technology Company to serve as the assistant to the person in charge of its latest cooperative project." A slightly hoarse voice came from the mechanical ball.
The person immediately started digging into her past, knowing more about things than she did herself. Xie Ning didn't know what this person's intentions were, so she just watched coldly. However, she wanted to call the police.
Seemingly sensing Xie Ning's thoughts, the man opposite her said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Don't even think about calling the police. I have no ill intentions. I risked coming here to help you."
Xie Ning didn't think she needed help. She could earn the money herself. There's no such thing as a free lunch; the other party must want something from her.
"Your purpose." Xie Ning drew the curtains, then calmly sat down on the sofa.
The mechanical ball paused slightly, then rose, and a pale blue projection gradually formed in the air. The young man, dressed in a black robe, with silver hair and red eyes, seemed to be standing on the rooftop, though Xie Ning wasn't entirely sure.
Moreover, the young man was wearing a mask, making it impossible to see his appearance. However, his conspicuous attire allowed Xie Ning to recognize him at a glance—Silver Moon, a member of the rebel leadership.
"HRMS is your ID number."
She had only ever seen these familiar letters and numbers on the nameplate of the doctor named Xia Yan. Xie Ning frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning of the characters. "What does it mean?"
"It means that you are an android." And you are the first generation of androids.
The crimson pupils reflected Xie Ning's image. When he first heard Xia Yan's message that he had seen a first-generation android, he couldn't believe it. After all, the first-generation androids had been completely destroyed fifty years ago.
What shocked him even more was that Xie Ning had actually lived to the age of twenty-two, which was simply unbelievable. Before Xie Ning, the longest-lived android had only lived for fifteen years before passing away.
If the mystery surrounding Xie Ning could be solved, then their flaws... Yin Yue took a deep breath. He was usually calm, but this was the first time he had lost his composure like this.
Xie Ning's pupils contracted slightly, and then she shook her head. "Impossible. The welfare home conducts physical examinations every year. If I were a cyborg, it's impossible that I wouldn't have been discovered."
“That’s because…” Yin Yue’s figure suddenly moved forward, her fingertip pointing below Xie Ning’s collarbone, “Your serial number is hidden in your heart.”
So Xia Yan had her blood drawn, but no results were found in the tests. Instead, a heart biopsy revealed the truth.
Xie Ning leaned back slightly, widening the distance between them. Just now, because they were so close, she had seen the longing in those crimson eyes clearly.
"Actually, you're wrong. It shouldn't be that you're helping me, but rather that you need my help." She wasn't stupid; she understood androids—human tools with extremely low status.
They possess powerful abilities, but have short lifespans.
When androids develop self-awareness, they will inevitably stop submitting to human "oppression" and will rebel. They want equal status and they want to solve the problems caused by their physical defects.
Therefore, they formed a team with those anti-Federation humans to create a rebel army, which was mutually beneficial.
This is a big problem for me.
But they would never let go of someone as special as her. Xie Ning lowered her gaze. She needed to calm the person down first. Regardless of whether their intentions were good or bad, she needed to take the initiative.
