Chapter 262 Can I turn off the treatment, Ailei?
The identities of man and machine were swapped at this moment.
It should be a cold machine, constantly telling about the arrangements for the future.
One should be a passionate person and always listen quietly.
Do you want to break that impossible delusion?
Xu did not do so.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked the servitor's hair: "I'm sorry, Ailei, I still trouble you to take care of me at this time."
I am losing my sense of touch, my vision is blurring, and I can't even feel my heart beating.
There is no possibility of cure.
A wounded body can be healed.
But there is no way to heal a body that is already "dead."
Xu Xi forced a smile, a feeling of emptiness and suffocation enveloping him. He tried his best to touch Ai Lei's head in a gentle manner.
"From the beginning, it was always Elle who helped me. Now that I think about it, I really feel sorry for it."
The cruel truth was not revealed.
Xu Xi just recalled the past in a hoarse voice.
underground laboratory.
RTX-9090 startup.
A camera looking up at the starry sky.
The first satellite city was successfully captured.
The past, which should have been blurred, flashed through Xu Xi's mind frame by frame as clear images.
In a trance, he seemed to touch the familiar laboratory again and wipe the camera.
"Owner……"
"Owner……"
Until Ailei's voice came.
Xu Xicai realized later that he was trapped in some kind of fantasy.
He apologized again: "I'm sorry, Elle, my condition must be very troublesome to you."
He tried hard to smile, but his smile was empty and devoid of all warmth and radiance.
No.
That's not the case...
As long as you...
The trembling of the servitor was no longer just in its eyes. As the core power supply device overheated, the entire metal body began to emit chaotic sounds.
"Don't worry, no matter what you become, Elle will serve you."
Always and always.
Forever and ever.
"I am a mindless machine, I know no fatigue, I don't know pain, you can use me without scruples."
The body's tremors, along with the sound of the sound module, all show human-like fluctuations.
It's a bit like a wail.
"It's always been Elle who's been helping me, isn't it?"
"From the wasteland of the old federation to where we are today, Elle has made the greatest contribution, compared to myself."
"Elly, you have grown up a lot and are no longer a mindless machine."
Xu Xi's movements slowed down.
His palm rested lightly on the top of Ailei's head, and he gradually lost his strength.
He joked that if we divide people by ability, then Elly, who has infinite computing power, should be the real "human".
Progress can promote technological development.
We can then implement a civilized cycle.
Compared with Ai Lei's computing power and observation capabilities, Xu Xi felt that he was lackluster.
As he spoke, Xu Xi expressed his gratitude to Ai Lei again in a gentle manner for always helping him who was not outstanding enough.
Such words, such a voice, even a robot servant that was born without emotions could sense that there was something wrong.
"You... don't need to worry about it."
"This is what I should do..."
It's not just the instructions set at the bottom level of logic that make Ailei obey Xu Xi's words.
The passage of time.
Mutual companionship.
It has already made the cold machine soul feel warm.
Subconsciously, I want to accompany her forever, and that path will wipe out her blurry figure.
However, this precious warmth gradually faded away before my eyes...
Ai Lei subconsciously glanced at the data panel of the treatment cabin, wanting to help Xu Xi with treatment so that he could stand up again.
But it was the voice from Xu's side.
But he stopped the robot.
"Elly, can you help me... turn it off..."
“Cough cough… cough cough cough…”
Xu Xi was too weak to control the system himself, so he asked his loyal servitor to help him shut down the treatment chamber that was sustaining his life.
Yes.
Rather than continuing treatment, they shut it down completely.
No matter how obedient or loyal the robot servant was, it would be stunned in disbelief when faced with such an order.
Why?
Perhaps he could see such confusion from that damaged mechanical face.
"It's hard to understand, but lying in the treatment room made me feel uncomfortable."
Xu Xi explained tiredly.
His current condition is very special. Silent death has corroded most of his body and mind, and he is infinitely approaching the abyss of death.
A healing cabin that can restore normal people to health.
Put it here in Xuxi.
It became a silent torture.
Not only is death unavoidable, but the emptiness is repeatedly exacerbated, causing Xu Xi's body and mind to be deeply trapped in the emptiness of emptiness.
It is easier to face the situation calmly than to be in that situation.
“I…I can’t…”
"This order violates Article 2 and will endanger your life."
"Denied, cannot be executed."
The light of the machine's eyes flickered at a high frequency.
Rejected Xu Xi's words.
The machine body was still cast from cold metal, but the synthesized voice was filled with the unique urgency of human nature:
"Your body needs treatment and your physical function has seriously declined. I must ensure your safety."
"Please rest assured that the treatment will be over soon."
"You'll be fine..."
"It'll be fine..."
The robot began to narrate various medical cases, trying to prove the possibility of successful treatment with scientific data and theoretical explanations.
gradually.
The sound began to become faint.
Until it is completely quiet.
She saw Xu Xi's pain. He was clearly on the verge of death, but was pulled back to the treatment cabin again and again, repeatedly experiencing that hopeless emptiness.
Subconsciously, Ailei wanted to close the treatment cabin.
But if it is closed, it means that a more cruel fact will come, which is the horror that Ailei does not want to see no matter what, but exists in reality.
"…I'm sorry, Master."
“I, I can’t do this…”
"I can't do what you ask for... You need treatment..."
People experience separation throughout their lives.
The self of today and the self of the last second are parting ways endlessly.
Among the numerous farewells, there are a few opportunities to choose, either a normal farewell or forced retention.
In the empty and quiet escape chamber, the servitor did something that he could not forgive.
She wanted to keep Xu Xi.
It caused pain to the Xu family.
He rejected Xu Xi's request with a trembling voice.
The conflict of data and the contradiction of self almost destroyed the logical process.
Will I be resented?
Will I be reprimanded?
Ai Lei was waiting for Xu Xi's anger.
But Xu Xi did not do that. He still gently stroked Ai Lei's head with gentle movements.
"Is that so... Never mind if you can't do it, Elle."
No resentment or disbelief.
On the contrary, Xu Xi had a smile on his face, a genuine smile, relieved that the servitor, like the witch, had learned to object.
If we could meet, maybe we would have a lot in common?
