Changge blinked.
Then, he opened his eyes wide and realized what the young man meant.
A strong sense of disbelief came over him, and he didn't understand why happiness was taken away just as it arrived.
"Today is the last time I will go out with you." The necklace said, "Tomorrow, I will be loaded into General Qin as the 'Su Ming'an bot' and merge with him."
"Perhaps, the civilization that deployed me didn't expect... that I would choose to risk my life to help you. I violated my mission and am not a qualified bot."
"After the fusion, General Qin will have my appearance, my voice, and a temperament similar to mine. But he will still be the dominant consciousness. After all, he is a human being, a life. I am just a carrier of information, a bot, an inorganic thing. Once the fusion occurs, my consciousness will disappear. It is not needed."
"For those unfinished games, find someone else to play with you. Find someone who is as bad as you... Otherwise, you will look unhappy every time I beat you."
"Lemon BBQ, remember the location of the shop so you can invite others to eat there later."
"When you pass by the lotus flowers... it's good if you think of me a little bit. If it makes you sad... and you don't think of me, that's okay too."
"But anyway, I'm very happy..."
His voice paused, still gentle:
"… and become [close friends] with you."
Long song.
I'm glad to meet you. Not as a copy... just as a pure friend.
Changge blinked.
The strong sourness stuck in his throat, making him feel uncomfortable. But looking at the necklace's back, he didn't even want to ask her to stay.
What excuse does he have to keep the other party?
Don't save the world... How is that possible?
Such a huge millennium plan, the hope of the whole world, the goal of everyone's common efforts...what can he use to keep him?
"As a bot, my free will never existed. Perhaps the only manifestation of my free will is... the decision to sacrifice myself."
These are the necklace's last words.
But Changge didn't think so.
He opened his mouth and watched the necklace disappear into the distance.
…
You are not a qualified bot, you have violated the mission.
But you followed your heart.
Necklace bro...
I still haven't seen you give yourself a name. I even... could only call you... in the end...
Necklace brother.
…
Seeing this, Su Mingan understood why General Qin refused to let him see his face. It turned out that it was Brother Necklace who merged in, allowing General Qin to possess Su Mingan's original characteristics.
Changge was responsible for guiding Su Mingan at night because of the follow-up plan. It was a pity that Brother Necklace had died at this time.
But Su Mingan continued to read... and found that it was not the case.
…
5 years before the Tianshi era.
On the day of the fusion, there were only General Qin and the necklace in the room.
"Let's start." said General Qin.
The fused blue light emerged in the room. Brother Necklace took a deep breath and walked towards General Qin.
However, there were loud footsteps outside the door.
Changge took advantage of Cheng Lishan's carelessness, stole the key, and broke in. He stuffed a few pieces of paper into the necklace brother's hand and pushed the necklace brother away.
"You--" The young man was stunned. He thought Changge was going to give him some important document, but when he looked down, he saw pieces of piano music filled with musical notes.
The white paper fluttered like the feathers of a white dove, and the jumping black notes were crooked and mixed with graffiti.
"I know what I can do to keep you here." As he passed by, Changge kicked the young man again, pushing him to the edge of the room. Changge ran straight towards General Qin.
"What are you doing!" the young man shouted.
"Brother Necklace, you said this before... We are all replicas in essence." Changge shouted back, "Then I am the same."
He was originally the foundation of Su Ming'an. Even if he was useless at the beginning, his martial arts, piano, and games were all taught by Brother Necklace over the past hundred years. In order to become the best friend of Brother Necklace... Changge almost lived like a young man himself. The difference between them was already very small.
If he were to be "man-made", he is already a finished product.
"Changge, you..." Even General Qin couldn't expect it.
"Come back here!" The young man immediately got up from the ground.
The soul ferrying machine has started to work.
When Changge rushed forward, he didn't think much, but just felt that he had to change something.
He thought all night long about how to keep Necklace Brother, and finally he suddenly realized - yes, as long as there was someone to replace him, wouldn't it be enough? He was also very similar to Su Mingan.
He guessed that it was not necessary to have absolute Su Ming'an's originality, but just to have elements like selflessness, courage, love, and perseverance.
So he rushed forward.
Like the teenager who rushed to the podium and questioned thousands of congressmen - like the eight-year-old boy who rushed into the music classroom and saved the bullied girl - like the nineteen-year-old youth who sat in the basement of Henggang and questioned Boss Rabbit about the rules of a perfect clearance...
They all made the same move.
This was probably the bravest decision he had ever made in his life... certain demise, definite death, but he still came.
Blue light blooms.
Irreversible surrender, unstoppable death. The fusion of light lies between them, unable to give even a final embrace.
