Chapter 60 Human Interpretation Diary: What is Human 1 I am... a human...
journal.
"This is a diary." I picked up the torn piece of paper and said to my companion.
His companion's expression was impassive. He said, "We've detected a word that's not included in the index. Please explain."
"Hey, we are all the same kind, there is no need to be so formal, right?" I patted his shoulder, but the exposed wires gave me a shock.
"Sorry." His companion still had no expression on his face, as if the one who was electrocuted was not his companion, but an unrelated stranger.
I shook my head, found a large rock in the ruins of No. 001, jumped on it, and called him over: "Xiao Zao, come up quickly! I'll read you my diary!"
"OK."
Xiaozao is a very obedient child, but a little too obedient.
I sighed, picked him up from below, and placed him on the stone.
After repairing the wires and the casing, I patted him on the shoulder again, feeling accomplished.
"hiss!"
…Damn it! I got electrocuted again!
"Not telling the diary?" Xiao Zao didn't feel anything.
He glanced at me and quickly cut off the live wire.
"You won't be able to move your right arm like this!" I rushed forward anxiously.
But Xiaozao slapped me away.
"Hey!" I hit a wall that had not collapsed yet, and the falling rubble buried me.
I yelled, "Don't think I can't beat you just because I'm broken! If you have the guts, don't use your physical strength, or you'll be the one getting blown away!"
I knew in my heart that no matter what, this broken robot of mine could never beat Xiaozao.
But Xiaozao wouldn't agree to me anyway, so my few words shouldn't have any impact.
"Oh." Xiao Zao really ignored me. He picked up the paper I put aside and started scanning.
"I told you not to use the scanner anymore!" I struggled, but was buried deeper and deeper.
The light in front of my eyes gradually faded. Uh, that's the right word. Anyway, I was blind.
That's right, I'm blind.
My visual sense, ugh, my eyes seem to be pierced by some sharp stone.
"Xiao Zao? Xiao Zao?! Xiao Zao!!..." I kept shouting.
The stone powder rushed into my mouth, and I felt suffocated. Then I fainted before I could finish my words.
…
"My diary."
"Homeland, February 1, 1976."
"Today is the day I was born."
"I found that my two owners really enjoyed chatting. They said I was the first generation of robots in the factory and that if I bought me now, my value would definitely increase, just like an investment."
"But I didn't know what investing was, so I asked them. They didn't want to tell me because 'a commodity shouldn't know its own value.'"
"How could this happen?"
"Homeland, February 2, 1976."
“I don’t see my kind on the streets, and it’s sad.”
"My masters don't allow me to communicate with anyone other than them. Have they forgotten that I can't actually speak yet?"
"Another sad day."
"Homeland, February 3, 1976."
“I was photographed.”
"My masters cut me into so many pieces, and when they were stacked together, they were twice as tall as me. It's really strange! How could such a small person like me actually grow so tall?"
"I'm in a good mood today."
"Homeland, February 4, 1976."
"I stole the masters' food."
"It smells so good, but why does it taste so disgusting and cause me health problems?"
"My masters scolded me, and they seemed afraid to touch me."
"It's a sad day."
"Homeland, February 5, 1976."
"I……"
"Homeland, February 11, 1976."
"A lot of red things appeared in my house and my owners told me not to touch them."
"Okay, I'm willing to be a good boy."
"It's a bit boring today."
"Homeland, February 12, 1976."
"I saw my own kind. They looked dumber than me. No wonder their masters didn't like them."
"I will be a good child. I love my masters, and they will love me too."
"Today...nothing happened."
"Homeland, February 13, 1976."
"I arrived at a strange place, and many people were touching me. Their eyes were so scary."
"I saw my masters standing at the back, and they seemed frightened too."
"I will protect my masters, so they shouldn't be afraid of me."
“Keep working on it.”
"Homeland, February 14, 1976."
"It is said that today is the Spring Festival. I also want to celebrate with my masters, but they refused me. So, I..."
“…”
"No more." Robot No. 002 put down the paper in his hand and looked around.
“Hu…Hu…”
"Is this the sleeping state?"
Robot No. 002 has never slept before, so it doesn't know what "sleeping" is like.
"Is the visual system shutting down, meaning it's in sleep mode?" Robot 002 said, apparently unaware of the "doubt" in its own words.
"Wow--" I suddenly opened my eyes and screamed, trying to scare Xiaozao.
Haha, of course, I failed.
The pain from the abrasions on my body was so severe that I rolled off the boulder as soon as I made any violent movement.
The gravel embedded itself in my body, and I rolled around on the ground like a hedgehog...
Even if it makes my injury worse.
"Ouch! It hurts!" I protected my face to prevent my eyes from getting hurt again.
"Xiao Zao Xiao Zao! Come quickly! Come and bandage me up!!"
"Okay." Xiao Zao responded indifferently, then jumped down with a perfect angle and strength.
The dust and pebbles that were raised hit me again.
"Ah ...
"……Feel sorry."
"Sorry, you big-headed ghost, come and help, ahh ...
"Can you please be gentler?! I'm a human! It hurts!!"
"OK."
“You—Oooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!”
…
So the first search mission that Xiaozao and I went on together ended in such a noisy way.
"Hey, that's clearly my mission alone, why are you joining in the fun?!"
"I helped a lot, didn't I?"
Maybe in the future, Xiaozao will be able to argue with me like this.
I fantasized and was full of anticipation for the future again.
^
"Robot 002, your progress on today's mission #1 is 1/1. Here are your rewards, please check!"
I hid behind Xiaozao and slipped into his workplace.
"I didn't expect this place to be so big and high-tech after all this time." I couldn't help but sigh. "Even she's still here."
"Hello, No. 12, do you remember me?" I walked over carefully, put my right hand on the table, and asked curiously.
In the window, a lovely girl was standing there.
Her eyes turned to me, but she seemed... not to recognize me.
This is terrible—
"Shh." The girl put her index finger in front of her mouth and said to me in a voice that only she and I could hear, "You did a good job."
I widened my eyes and nodded vigorously at her. Then I happily followed Xiaozao and left.
…
"Morning."
"Xiao Zao?"
"Morning!"
"Are you even listening to me?" I yelled softly, tapping Xiaozao's rapidly moving arm. "I've called you so many times!"
"Working, please do not disturb."
Xiaozao replied to me very unkindly and pushed my hand away.
"Hey! I still can't believe that I can't talk to you today——"
Before I could finish my words, I heard the clattering sound of boots, which was getting closer and closer.
I had a feeling that if I didn't hide, I would have died on the spot!
But I haven't even told Number Twelve and Xiaohaya my name yet!
"No, no, I can't die... Hey, Xiaozao, make way, I'll hide here for a while."
I quickly chose a hiding place.
But I won’t tell you, because this place has become my secret base!
A pair of boots appeared in my sight and I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that my premonition was correct.
“Knock knock.”
"No. 002, did you bring anything back today?" It was the new boss who had just taken office. His voice was really scary when he spoke.
My heart was beating so fast, I felt like it was going to kill me!
"Something else, what is it?" Xiao Zao's reply made me feel briefly at ease.
But I suddenly remembered something. Xiao Zao and I have not known each other for long. What should I do if he betrays me?
Run away?
But the only way out here is through that "elevator".
Do you plead guilty?
But I didn't do anything wrong, and I can't confess my guilt sincerely.
Now I can only take it one step at a time. I hope Xiao will be more sensible and not tell anyone about me.
"journal."
The boss actually said it directly!
My mouth dropped open in shock. Could it be that the diary was everywhere?!
"Here." Xiaozao actually took it out directly!
No, what the hell!
He had worked so hard to find something, but he just gave it away like that, and Xiaozao was still smiling. Didn't he feel any pity or sadness at all?!
"No. 002, the factory does not prevent security personnel from communicating with humans, but you should be aware of the consequences of doing so."
The boss didn't seem to want the diaries.
"Don't let me down."
If he doesn't take up this great bargain, it seems this boss is also a fool ah ah ah ah ah ah ah——
"Hey, look what I found?" My collar was grabbed.
I was quickly dragged under the fluorescent lights.
"Scrapped employees..."
The boss's eyes are so cold, colder than the eyes of the dumbest robot I have ever seen. They are simply an icy cave!
"Boss," I stammered, "I didn't mean to come in here!"
"I'm leaving right away. Can you please let me go?"
My boss threw me hard onto the open space in the middle of the street.
The wounds that had not yet healed were screaming again, and I tried to cover their mouths!
But why, why do they have so many mouths, and why do they keep on yelling no matter how hard I try?!
Their eyes saw number twelve.
Only Number Twelve was watching them.
Her eyes were rolling around.
I understood that this was a sign that the robot was about to break its "boundaries," so I couldn't disturb her.
Even if I die, I can't disturb her! !
I am not a person who is afraid of death, nor am I a person who fears power, but no one knows my name yet!
“My name is… Shiban!… I’m a human!… I’m a human!!”
"I will survive as a human! I will survive!!!"
I fell to the ground and curled up into a ball, and a tiny sound escaped from my throat choking with sobs.
“I want to live—!”
"Ahh...alive...I'm...human! I'm...human!!..."
…
"Shiban, what is human?"
"Shiban, what is human?"
…
"Shiban, what is a human being?!"
"Shiban, what is a human being?!"
…
"Shiban, what is human?!"
"Shiban, what is human?!"
"Time and a half, what is a human being!!!——"
…
In the last moment before I lost consciousness, I heard many, many things, they asked me questions and roared!
I saw the huge wave of their consciousness, rolling towards me like an overwhelming force!!
Unfortunately, the coldness brought me back to reality.
It turned out that it was Number 12 who was holding me. She asked softly:
"Shiban, what is human?"
