Artificial Life 16
If you don’t know how to hate, can you understand love?
Zhu Fujingguang felt powerless again, "Where's Artes..." He mentioned Julian's brother almost without any hope. He didn't believe that the man had not tried to save his brother, "He hopes you live well."
"It's impossible, Hexi," Julian sighed and shook his head at the young man. "When I was designed, the issue of product iteration was considered." He glanced at Zhu Fu Jingguang's clenched hands at his side. "My life expectancy is expected to be twelve years. If it weren't for my brother's research, I might not be able to stand and talk to you now." He shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "You can say that I am intact on the surface now, but in fact I have reached the scrap standard."
The moonlight swayed Zhu Fujingguang so much that he could hardly open his eyes. The boy's lips moved, and his voice was like a sharp knife piercing straight into his brain, "Instead of being abandoned in a safe and happy corner, it is better to come out and make use of your remaining energy..."
——Since he is not going to survive anyway, we might as well maximize the benefits of his death, which will also facilitate our subsequent activities.
The young man couldn't control his body and staggered back two steps, his eyes filled with a rare confusion. Even the fear of lurking in the Black Organization and the disgust in Huiren Society could not cover up his powerlessness at the moment. "Can't you think about yourself?" He didn't know how many times he repeated similar words, each time more pale and powerless, "and your relatives and friends..."
"It's not your fault."
Julian spread his arms, the sea breeze blew his black hair, the moonlight lengthened his shadow, the expression of this boy who was only twelve years old at this moment was gentle and pious, "He Xi, this is our choice, you don't have to feel guilty about it."
She went to save you because you were his friend, and he chose to go with her. It's not your fault.
"You are all talking to yourself," Zhu Fujingguang looked at Julian deeply, as if he had made up his mind, "...I will only provide the minimum cooperation," he would not follow the water plant's script completely. No matter what Tasmanian Rain arranged for San Pellegrino, he would do his best to try to save the child, "I absolutely do not agree with your attitude towards life, so be prepared."
Before leaving, Zhu Fu Jingguang looked back at Julian, who was still looking carefree and optimistic, as if the declaration just now had no effect on him at all. He turned his back to him and leaned against the railing to look at the scenery.
He opened his mouth slightly, but in the end said nothing and left alone.
Finally, the deck returned to its peaceful state of being alone. Julian held onto the railing and looked up at the bright moon. "It's amazing," he praised this ordinary sight from the bottom of his heart. "The moon is really beautiful."
The child was lying on the man's chest, holding a few strands of red hair in his hands. There was still residual heat on his body, but at this moment, the boy no longer cared about those things. He raised his head, and the moon was reflected in his bright red eyes for the first time.
"elder brother."
Tears rolled down Julian's bright red eyes onto the back of his hands. The boy stood there, feeling the water droplets on his face. Emotions he had never experienced before spread through his heart, making him unable to bear it for a moment. He could only mutter to himself subconsciously.
“Brother, brother…brother——”
