After activating a new energy device.

The laboratory at night is no longer as dim as before.

The rumbling machinery, the blue glow, and the reflection of people's faces on the silver-white walls.

But in that bright silence, there is also the heaviness of the night, a dark, winding tranquility in which everything is silent.

Snap——

Snap——

Coolant is dripping from the sides.

The sound of splashing water and the gentle humming vibration are so slow and gradual.

Xu Xi gently supported Ailei's body, and slowly lowered the seemingly light but actually heavy steel body to the ground.

Watching the feet land.

Watch the body stand firm.

Xu Xi's movements relaxed a little.

"That's great, Ailei, there was no problem this time," Xu Xi said with a smile, and his frown also relaxed.

After experiencing a body collapse incident, he was really afraid it would happen again. Fortunately, the quality was excellent this time and nothing embarrassing happened.

"Ellie, is there anything that needs debugging?"

Xu Xi bent slightly.

Lower your altitude.

Keep your eyes at the same level as Ellie.

The mechanical and clean eyes flashed with a cold blue light, an attitude that no human could possess. They were like two gems inlaid in a silver shell, deep and dazzling.

When it blinked, Xu Xi felt a sense of emptiness.

Different from a witch.

The witch's emptiness comes from the heart, which is the lack of emotion, while Elle's emptiness comes from the carrier. No matter how similar the cold metal is, it is not the real flesh eye.

"Master, I..."

The "girl" spoke, using that familiar electronic voice, explaining to Xu Xi the areas that needed debugging.

Such as incoordination in the arm joints.

Poor flexibility in the calf area.

Xu Xi listened carefully and wrote them down one by one. His meticulous expression really made people wonder who was the real human being served.

"..."

The master is really strange.

While Xu Xi was busy, Ai Lei stood there, first glanced at Xu Xi's back hesitantly, then lowered her head to look at her ten fingers.

Rotate your palms slightly.

The ten slender white fingers then reveal details.

The skin is lifelike and perfect, even the fingerprints and palm lines are carefully engraved, and they bounce back when pressed, with perfect details.

But if you look closely, you can still detect the mechanical phalanges inside.

Extend only one index finger.

Place your fingertips just above your cheeks.

Ailei slid her fingers lightly across her cheeks in a slightly dazed posture, feeling the feedback from her cheeks and fingertips that came simultaneously from the processor.

…

What is love?

What is hate?

What is like?

What is disgust?

The federal database has everything, and Ailei can easily retrieve those so-called analysis reports.

"Love is a strong emotional state, a deep fondness for people, things, and objects."

"Love is an attitude, love is recognition, love is acknowledgement, love is care."

Are these the answers? Are these the correct answers?

Elle didn't know.

It only knows that its own program overwrites itself into an unknown appearance in each run and in the process of interacting with many systems.

The fierce and surging data seems to symbolize some kind of change.

Is that human emotion?

Ailei tried to release herself and express herself in her own way, but it was difficult to do so. The hot emotions and cold body formed a sharp conflict and were almost incompatible.

The human heart beats, the machine core is silent.

Human skin is warm and delicate, while the outer shell of a machine is hard and cold.

Humans react in all sorts of strange ways, but the chips in machines follow their settings.

Mechanical logic is rational.

The program is run as planned.

It should be like this. It should be like this.

ah……

But it was really strange, just like her master was a strange human being, Ailei felt like she had become a strange machine.

It's actually quite fantastic.

Want to change from "it" to "she".

To touch, to feel, to express the hot and warm emotions.

So, after getting Xu Xi's consent, Ai Lei went to do it happily, wanting to make a human-shaped body for herself.

There were some twists and turns in the process, but in the end Xu Xi made a new machine.

But after all...it still doesn't work?

The pair of silver-blue eyes suddenly dimmed. Although the expression did not seem to change, Ailei knew that it was a little lost.

Lost in not being a real person.

With just a mechanical body, it is impossible to have a variety of feelings like a human.

However.

That's enough.

As long as it can stay by its master's side in this manner, the loyal servant feels that it is lucky enough.

"Ellie, sit down. I'll help you re-adjust it."

A familiar voice was heard, Xu Xi made a correction plan and walked in front of Ai Lei again.

He smiled.

Using mechanical force to amplify his body's strength, he carried Ellie's body back to the workbench.

The debugging and correction process is not complicated.

During this process, Ai Lei and Xu Xi can even have a conversation, and under the lonely light, they cast two very similar figures.

"...Master, I'm sorry to bother you these past few days."

"It's okay, they are just minor issues, don't take it to heart."

"The machine has been shaped. What does the master want Ellie to look like?"

"Regarding this, it is up to you, Elle, to decide."

Xu Xi said.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

He only helped build the machine, and did not take the initiative to decide on Elle's appearance or make more specific modifications.

Maybe I think that would be the case if it were up to him to decide.

It is bound to be influenced by past memories.

Subconsciously transfer some of the advantages of other people to Ai Lei.

As a collection of advantages, the final result must be good-looking, but in that case, Elle will no longer be Elle.

It is a tangible copy of someone else.

Therefore, Xu Xi was unwilling to do so, and instead returned the right of choice to Ai Lei herself.

…

You are a strange creator

[You neither require your creation to be respectful to you, nor do you require your creation to fully fulfill your requirements]

[You made a brand new machine for Elly]

[Elei wanted you to decide what the machine would look like after it was perfected, but you rejected the idea and encouraged her with a smile, asking her to follow her own ideas.]

[You claim that this is a person’s free choice]

[Aile disagrees with your opinion. She thinks she is far from being a human.]

"No, Elle."

"You already are. You always have been."

[You laugh and correct Elle's words. Although the two terms of Machine Soul Pleasure and Mechanical Resonance still have an effect on the white machine in front of you.]

[But in your opinion, the consciousness of Airi who has entered the body is not much different from a real "human"]

[The only thing that is different from humans is the frail body of flesh and blood]

[It has always been her]
