Chapter 57 All Human
The tops of those bottles were connected to something. He didn't know what it was, but when he saw these things, he inexplicably felt his scalp tingling and a chill rising from the soles of his feet until it spread throughout his body.
1551 shuddered, and he stretched out his hand to touch the bottles. He stood on tiptoe with great effort but was unable to touch the transparent bottles.
The red fingertips are always some distance away from the bottom of the bottle.
He looked up and saw countless bottles everywhere he looked. The space in this semi-circular ball seemed to be as big as several stadiums.
Standing in the center, he seemed so small, yet so conspicuous that he could not be ignored.
Because he is the only living thing here.
There was no other existence except him and these strange bottles.
These bottles are all transparent, the size of drift bottles, and contain a small bunch of bright white, like star fragments, which are luminous bodies whose shapes cannot be seen clearly.
I don't know why, although I was clearly very scared, 1551 still felt that these little things should be warm and should not be placed in these bottles.
Although he didn't even know why he thought so, 1551 tried to reach these small bottles many times.
Without any object to leverage, he could do nothing.
After trying several times, he finally realized that the chill he had just felt towards the bottle was not because of the unknown little thing in the bottle, but because of the pink unidentified objects hanging from the bottle.
At first he thought it was just flesh-pink ropes, but as he observed, he found that those "ropes" could actually move slightly, and had some wrinkles and fleshy texture on them.
It's like... like... the umbilical cord connecting the baby and the mother.
1551 was startled by this sudden thought in his mind, and looked at the umbilical cords with panic.
Where exactly is this place?
1551's little face turned pale and looked pitiful, but his gaze still did not stop falling on those things that instinctively made him feel scared.
Following the direction of the umbilical cords, he noticed that even though these ugly pink things were tangled together and looked dense and disgusting from above, they still had unique lines and directions.
They are all heading in the same direction.
For some reason, 1551's intuition told him that it must be very important to understand the secret here.
So he began to walk towards where the umbilical cords were spreading. He walked slowly with some hesitation at first, and gradually turned into running quickly.
After running for a while, a different scenery finally appeared in front of him.
In this hemispherical space, there is a door leading to other places.
The umbilical cords became thinner and thinner, until each one was as thin as a silk thread, thinner than a hair, and difficult to see with the naked eye. They gathered together to form a thick stream of mysterious flesh-pink color that passed through the door.
1551 doesn't know whether this door leads to the outside world or another space.
But he could only choose to move forward.
After a flash of dazzling light.
1551 looked at the place in front of him, his expression gradually becoming blank due to being too shocked.
Any words used to describe his complex emotions at this moment would seem pale and inadequate.
For a moment, he wanted to shout, but also wanted to turn back.
But his feet seemed to have taken root and he was standing there, unable to escape.
He finally came into contact with a truth that had been buried for a long time.
All the so-called high praise and glory bestowed upon the Lord God will become foul-smelling due to the emergence of this truth. When all the decorations of flowers are peeled off, underneath is mud that cannot see the light.
In front of him were humans placed on spotless white operating tables, while huge robotic arms were performing operations on them.
1551 looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, his eyes reddened because of the soreness.
The person on the operating table closest to him had his right hand amputated, and a robotic arm then installed a high-tech prosthetic hand on him.
The blood stained a large area of the white bed sheet, but it was soon changed and the blood-stained bed sheet and the amputated arm were sent away.
Such scenes were played out in every corner of the hall.
Maybe it's not an arm, but something has been added or transplanted, or some other prominent part of the body has been replaced.
1551 even saw a little girl being turned over, with a robotic arm grafting a pair of huge white wings onto her shoulder blades.
The wings were so beautiful, the smooth metal material made her look like an angel.
But none of this is native.
It is endowed with malice.
Some old conversations inexplicably came to his mind.
Not long after he was "born", he once asked the predecessor system why the systems all had one thing that was different from humans.
The senior asked him to read the system manual himself.
The system manual explains that because they were created by the Lord God, they are not human beings. They just have human form and retain some mechanical parts so that they can better distinguish themselves from humans.
So as not to get lost in some strange ideas.
The predecessors at that time also praised the greatness of the Lord God in front of him.
"It was He who created this body for us, which is close to human. It is very convenient. Otherwise, we would just be a bulky piece of iron."
At the beginning, I still had some admiration and respect for the Lord God, and exclaimed in admiration.
When this conversation rang in his mind again after such a long time, the mood he had at that time was no longer there. What was left was a chilling feeling as if he had been splashed with ice water, or as if a bloody sword had been inserted into his heart. The sharp blade that had penetrated his throat made him unable to utter a word.
All the blood in my body seemed to have been dissolved into ice-cold water, frozen and unable to flow.
Amid the painful buzzing of his brain, he walked forward gently and picked up a business card hanging on the head of the operating bed.
Each bed will have this business card.
It says: Male, Chen Xi, 25 years old, in good health, from the world number 8364.
This is his true origin.
The hand holding the business card unconsciously exerted force, and the edge of the card was wrinkled beyond recognition. He then let go of his hand as if awakened and carefully put the card back.
He spoke with a bitter taste in his heart: "This is your true origin."
This business card further confirmed that all the unconscious people present were human.
A sense of trance came over him, and 1551 suddenly raised his head, and a very absurd idea emerged.
If they were all human, how could they be endowed with so many AI's cold thoughts? The only possibility is that the Lord God not only took away their memories, but also their emotions.
They are not systems, nor are they machines that are born without extra emotions!
Those umbilical cords transformed into a huge scarlet blood vessel-like transmission belt, which was no different from a demon in his eyes.
Those warm things in the bottle... are their emotions.
It is the true emotion of all their systems.
1551 His hands and feet were cold, and he stumbled forward, not knowing how many beds he had passed and how many unconscious faces he had seen.
Some of them were completely human, and the robotic arms tried to cut off their limbs. When 1551 saw it, he tried to stop it.
But the power of the robotic arm was beyond his control.
We can't waste any more time, otherwise more and more victims will appear.
1551 gritted his teeth and continued to run in the direction of the scarlet transmission tube.
He ran to the end of this huge horror factory until he was almost out of breath.
All those here are modified humans, who are about to be assigned system numbers, sent outside, and then undergo the first "power-on" ceremony.
When they open their eyes again, they will not remember anything about their past. Those memories have long since disappeared, replaced by the mark of the Lord God, becoming a system, a tool without human rights and emotions.
The business cards that accompanied them were thrown into a huge pit by the robotic arm like garbage.
1551 stood at the edge of the pit and looked down, and at this moment there was some color on his pale face.
I was angry.
There were business cards all over the floor, countless business cards!
It is the true identity of countless systems.
Even his own should be at the bottom.
How ridiculous.
He had been doubting himself for so long and secretly envied humans.
It turns out that all this is what he should have.
1551 was so shocked that he was speechless. He didn't have the naive idea of jumping down to look for his business card.
It is a great honor to be able to remember my name.
He suddenly understood why he suddenly thought of the name Lin Yishui when he looked at Gu Chenzhou.
Because Gu Chenzhou is the protagonist of awakening.
He has long been free from the constraints of world consciousness and has jumped out of the framework.
The closer humans are to him, the less they will be influenced by the Lord God.
This is also the reason why the special agent was not fooled by the halo props used by Su He and became a real spy.
Because their IQ will not be affected, they naturally will not betray the protagonist.
And he remembered his own name at that moment because the influence of the Lord God on him was becoming less and less.
If Gu Chenzhou and I stayed together forever, maybe one day he would be able to recover more memories.
But the current situation no longer allows him to continue relying on Gu Chenzhou.
1551 reached out and patted his little face, his eyes gradually becoming firm.
Instead of heading towards the exit, he continued walking in the direction of the scarlet blood vessels.
Finally saw their end.
A giant, lifelike ovary shape.
It is moving in a drumbeat.
Just looking at it makes people feel unspeakable fear.
As long as you destroy it, everything in the bottles will be released.
For no apparent reason, 1551's intuition came back to him.
So he didn't give himself time to be afraid and started thinking of a way to climb up.
