Completely naked, without a single piece of clothing, his body was bald without a single hair, as white as a freshly peeled egg.
Fortunately, her facial features are excellent, and her head shape is also very nice; otherwise, a face with no eyebrows, no lip color, and completely bloodless would definitely frighten people.
Now, it might feel a little strange, but it's definitely not considered unattractive. In fact, it might even evoke a strange sense of beauty, like a person carved from a piece of pure white jade.
The android Su Yu is mostly complete, with only a few details left to be worked on, such as implanting hair, coloring the skin, and perfecting the internal parts.
The android staggered over to Su Yu and Xia Linyin. Xia Linyin looked at the android, then at Xiao Li on the screen, "This..."
She had imagined countless times what it would be like when Xiao Li's android opened its eyes. Would it be smiling and saying, "Hi! Xiao Li, you're finally awake. Welcome to reality," or would it be crying and clinging to him, saying, "I missed you so much!"
But now, the scene before them seemed rather strange. Xiao Li had actually controlled the android. If the android was Xiao Li, it was just being manipulated by her, like a puppet being controlled. But if it wasn't, Xiao Li's consciousness was in the android.
Su Yu's baby face was gloomy, and his expression was somewhat solemn. Without any implanted data, this NPC could control this not-yet-complete android, and probably could also control other robots. How could this be? How could an NPC have such great abilities?
"This must be my android," Xiao Li said, looking at the android. On the screen, his figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, accompanied by a hissing sound, as if there was a problem with the energy connection.
Suddenly, the entire screen went black, and Xiao Li's figure vanished. Just as Xia Linyin's heart tightened, the android opened its bloodless lips and uttered a sound, "Sister..."
He stretched out his hands, looked down at them, and moved in a manner no different from an ordinary person. His eyes also shone with light, giving people the feeling that he had "come alive," unlike before when his walking posture and movements were extremely stiff, making him look like a puppet being controlled by someone.
These hands were as white as snow, with skin so smooth that the texture was almost invisible. They were clean without a single blemish or imperfection, and although the nails were shiny, they had no color showing through. Rather than being human hands, they looked more like works of art displayed in a shop window.
Seeing Xiao Li staring blankly at his hand without saying a word, Xia Linyin felt sorry for him and tightly grasped his hand. "This android is not completely finished yet. It won't look like this after it's colored."
"Sister, can you feel the pulse? Can you feel the blood flowing?" Xiao Li shook her head and slowly withdrew her hands from Xia Linyin's grasp. "I don't want to embrace you with this body, and I don't want to be different from you anymore."
There is a small hole on the back of his head through which you can see the intricate machinery inside. This hole was originally intended for data implantation.
Xiao Li raised his hand and touched the hole. His fingernails dug into his scalp, and he slowly tore open the scalp, peeling away the simulated skin that felt as delicate as real human skin bit by bit, a smile on his face.
A cold, metallic mechanical brain was revealed. "I have no brain tissue, no nerve fibers, and even my body temperature is set by the system..."
"I love you, but I can't let you feel my heart beating, my blood rushing, or my body temperature rising."
How pathetic I am to exist in this form...
"Sister, I want to be like you, I want to become a person like you..."
The last word, carrying the power of a vow, struck Xia Linyin's heart heavily, and her pupils reflected the image of Xiao Li falling backward.
"Xiao Li!!"
Xia Linyin knelt on the ground, holding the motionless android in her arms. She looked at the torn scalp, her heart aching so much she could hardly breathe. After shaking the lifeless android, Xia Linyin looked around, searching all the quantum computers, but she couldn't find Xiao Li's figure.
She raised her reddened eyes and looked at Su Yu, "He's gone?"
Su Yu took off his black-rimmed glasses, which he wore without prescription lenses just to make himself look less baby-faced. He pinched the bridge of his nose. This NPC's behavior was truly bizarre and unpredictable, making it impossible to guess what he would do next.
In a short period of time, he experienced more surprise and confusion than he had in the previous thirty years.
"Let me look for it."
Su Yu asked the people outside to come in and help remove the helmets from the researchers' heads, hoping that his researchers wouldn't develop photophobia as a result.
Opening the communication on his wristwatch, Su Yu sat in front of the personal terminal, methodically replying to the various anxious questions from the Federal President while his fingers flew across the keyboard, rapidly searching for Xiao Li's whereabouts.
Xia Linyin waited anxiously, but didn't urge Su Yu. She pursed her lips, and time passed by second by second. More than ten minutes later, Su Yu frowned and shook his head, saying, "He's disappeared. I can't find any trace of him."
Xia Linyin was stunned. "Can't find him? How can we not find him? Where did he go?"
Yes, Su Yu also wanted to know where he went.
——
In a deserted laboratory on the outskirts of the city, the air was filled with the pungent smell of chemicals. The mottled walls looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and weeds grew at the base of the walls. Unidentified insects made a noisy chirping sound.
The entrance was cluttered with all sorts of odds and ends, some of which were rotten and moldy, emitting a foul odor. One glance was enough to deter anyone from even stepping over the piles of clutter to explore the place.
In the innermost part of the laboratory, in a relatively clean area, there was a large nutrient tank. The surface of the nutrient tank was spotless and shiny, which was out of place in the rest of the laboratory, indicating that it was frequently cleaned and wiped.
A black-haired youth floated quietly in the pale blue nutrient solution. The youth had long arms and legs, and his short, jet-black hair, as dark as night, swayed gently in the liquid like soft seaweed.
He has delicate features, and his beautifully curved lips have taken on a light pink hue from being soaked in the nutrient solution for a long time, like a tender peach blossom on a branch in March.
He had a black "T" tattoo on his fair, slender neck.
The black-haired youth had various tubes inserted into his body, and a strange device covered his head, which looked like two curved, thin metal rods stuck on his head horizontally and vertically. The front of the thin rods was flat and attached to his forehead, the back of his head, and his temples on the left and right sides.
