Chapter 263 Because You Will Be Sad

Xu Xi changed the treatment location.

After waking up.

He was picked up by a robot servant and transferred from the cold and hard treatment cabin to the soft bed.

The crisscrossing lines and densely packed instruments are arranged around the bed, providing Xu's system with support to keep the flame of life burning.

This is what Elle did.

Even though he felt so guilty that he was overwhelmed with sadness, he still tried to save himself.

Save that person.

Retain that light.

Let that strange person who took the initiative to name the machine and wanted to be irresponsible for his absence stay with you forever.

"The master must be responsible for Elle."

"Because of the master, Elle has become strange."

"Because of the master, Elle can't calm down."

"This is the master's fault. Therefore, the master must be responsible for Ailei and cannot leave casually."

In front of the bed, the man's physical condition worsened further. His face was pale and thin, his fingers were long and dry, and they were full of tubes for various life-support machines.

I can't bear to see Xu Xi like this.

Hate myself for being powerless.

The voice of the servitor was trembling deeply despite its calmness, like a wingless bird falling, completely lost.

She lowered her head.

I didn't dare to meet those familiar gentle eyes.

The robot servant, who should have been loyal, disobeyed the master's orders. The robot servant could not forgive itself for this, and the half of its face that was damaged revealed a silent cry of grief.

The man on the sickbed was not angry with the valet.

Just once again.

He leaned weakly on the bed, stretched out his hand, and gently grasped the five fingers of the robot servant with a tired and warm sound.

"I'm sorry, Elle, I have to trouble you to take care of me at this time."

…

[You did not stop the servant from retaining me]

【You know clearly】

[It is so difficult for a loyal servitor to accept that I have ended your life with my own hands]

[If the roles were reversed and it was Elle who begged you, you would still have trouble making up your mind.]

[Therefore, you respect Ailei's choice]

[No longer ask your loyal robot servant to shut down your life support machine for you]

[You lie on the sickbed, your consciousness gradually fades away. You clearly perceive that your consciousness is slowly disintegrating and heading towards the end of burning out.]

[The life-support machine runs 24 hours a day, but it only helps slow down your death, and it cannot really cure you.]

[Ellie discovered this]

[Replacing various methods, investing the maximum computing power, trying to extend your life as much as possible]

"Ellie, how are you today?"

"..."

"Really? You're still working hard. You're already amazing."

"..."

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"..."

Failure after failure, escalating the situation.

No matter what he tried, it had no effect on Xu Xi's body, and it was even more impossible to revive his burnt soul.

The life flame of the Xu family is inevitably dying out.

For this result.

The servitor could not change anything and could only watch with its silver-blue eyes as the figure became increasingly hunched and weak, trapped in the agony of life and death.

As time goes by, Xu Xi's pain deepens, and Ai Lei's self-blame also deepens.

"It's okay, Ellie, don't worry about me."

Xu Xi was lying on the sickbed, his face as pale as paper. Every breath he took seemed extremely difficult and he seemed like he would faint at any moment.

But that's the physical condition.

He still forced himself to smile, comforting the servants who had failed time and time again, so that Elle didn't have to blame herself for it.

sorry……

sorry……

Elle's body was shaking violently.

Another experiment failed. She returned to the bed where Xu Xi was recuperating, looking at the familiar face with dull eyes and listening to the familiar and gentle words of comfort.

finally.

The sadness in my heart broke through the limits of data.

"…I'm sorry, Master."

"Because of my incompetence, you have suffered too much pain." The robot servant could not hold on any longer. She could no longer accept that she must live in such a painful state.

Every time the comfort comes from Xu Xi.

All turned into invisible sharp blades.

Silently severing the loyal and self-responsible machine soul.

She asked in a trembling voice why Xu didn't just take a firm stance and order the life-support machine to be turned off.

On licensing rights.

Xu Xi is the creator of the underlying logic of Ellei.

Have top priority control.

On emotions.

Xu Xi is the most important person to Ai Lei.

As long as Xu Xi asks her many times, Ai Lei will listen to Xu Xi no matter how reluctant she is.

But the Xu family did not do so.

Ever since his first request to shut down the life support system was rejected by Ailei, he never mentioned it again.

That weak and powerless posture made the robot unable to understand.

"Because if that happens, Elle will be very sad."

There was no sunlight in the escape chamber.

The whitish overhead light shone down from above, illuminating the edge of Xu Xi's nose and his hollow eyes.

Endure the physical discomfort.

He explained to Ailei with a smile.

There is no special reason, nor is it that I can't feel the pain. The reason is very simple, I just don't want to make Ailei sad.

"But, but you--" The circulating wind in the cabin ruffled her hair and blurred Ailei's eyes.

The calm silver-blue eyes seemed to have a sense of layering in the chaos.

All the sorrow.

All the weeping.

All through that inhuman face.

The detailed presentation is right before our eyes.

Unable to hide or endure, the emotions of robot servants have been expressed directly since the RTX-9090 era.

"But this is too painful for you," he said with a trembling voice.

Except there are no real tears.

The robot's expression at this moment is no different from that of a human. Intense sadness can be seen on every part of its face. Because of excessive sorrow, its facial features seem a little squeezed.

The ruthless machine has human emotions.

Man is moving step by step towards nothingness.

The contrast was so strong that the servitor could not accept it. She did not accept such a reality.

"It's okay, Ellie."

Xu Xi stretched out his dry and weak hand and gently placed it on the robot's head, using his limited strength to give it a sense of security: "This has nothing to do with you."

“In fact, during this period of time, I figured out a lot of things.”

The sound was as thin as a gossamer and seemed to disappear into the air.

Like falling leaves, the sound gradually fades away.

Like light rain, moistening everything without rest.

At the same time, there is a dry and weak hoarseness in the throat.

"We have known each other for a long time, right?"

Xu Xi wanted to smile, but such a movement was no longer possible for his exhausted body.

As soon as the curve of his mouth changed, he suddenly started coughing.

“Ahem!”

“Ahem!”

"Master..." Ai Lei helped the weak Xu Xi sit up from the bed and regulate his breathing as quickly as possible.

"I'm fine, Ailei," Xu Xi shook his head gently.

The body is getting weaker.

The pain became more pronounced.

Xu Xi tried his best to fight the drowsiness, forced himself to stay awake, and looked at the robot servant with a forced smile.

"Ailei, time really flies. It has been more than 700 years since I met you in the underground laboratory."

“That’s fast…”
