The next morning

As soon as 9S opened his eyes, he saw that 2B was stretching out his right hand to him, and 9S, who had already had experience, said calmly: "2B, I'm awake." ”

2B also calmly withdrew his hand: "That's good, 9S, you are faster, we still have to take the high-viscosity oil to the village chief." ”

After hearing 2B's words, 9S asked with some hesitation, "Can you go to the desert area first?" Last night the operator sister gave me a task. 2B heard that it was the task given to 9S by 210, and directly agreed: "Yes, Miss Anemone also said that she was not in a hurry." ”

After 9S packed up his bed, 9S and 2B ran directly towards the desert area, and after running for dozens of minutes, 9S and 2B saw a pile of building ruins. That's where 9S and 2B discovered Adam and Eve.

When 9S and 2B walked into the residential area, 2B remembered that he didn't ask about the specific content of the 9S mission, and asked, "9S, what does operator 210 tell us to do?" 9S pinched his chin and thought for a moment: "The operator's sister said to find some data about humans, in that case, let's find some things left by humans or paper books and send them to her." ”

9S called out Pod153 directly: "Pod, scan the nearby things except sand and buildings, and mark them on the map." "Understood." 9S doesn't look at anything after finding it, but just throws it into the backpack, intending to look at it after collecting it. 2B on one side also made Pod042 scan in a similar way.

Dozens of minutes later, 9S, which felt like it should be about the same, stopped, and used the communication system to ask 2B, who was collecting in the other direction, to come and meet him. A few minutes later, 2B rushed over, and the two of them opened their backpacks at the same time and poured out the harvest, piling it up into a small mountain, 9S squatted in front of the hill, pulled out something and asked Pod153 to take a picture, then threw it aside, and then pulled out another one. Even with 2B doing this work together, it still took 9S more than ten minutes for them to take pictures of everything.

9S stood up and clapped his hands, and said to 2B, "Okay, the rest of the task is to transmit these photos to the operator sister, let's go and hand over the high viscosity oil to Pascal now." 2B nodded, turned on the communication system, and contacted Pascal: "Pascal, we're going to you." Pascal on the other side looked a little happy when he saw 2B: "Ah~ It's Miss 2B, you're coming?" Then I'll have the door open. "Hmm......" 2B just wanted to say something, but Pod153 of 9S rang directly because the scanning had not been turned off: "Report: A signal of resistance was found nearby, and after matching, it was determined that it was a prisoner at large." 9S asked, "Prisoner?" What is the charge? "Crime: Stealing a prosthetic body from the Leaf Army." Pod153 replied truthfully.

2B said directly to 9S: "9S, let's chase after him and get the prisoner back who stole the prosthetic." 9S shrugged: "Yes, I will definitely catch it quickly anyway, and I won't waste any time." Pod153 marked the rebel's coordinates on the map, and 9S and 2B ran straight over.

When he was not far from the rebel, he seemed to spot 9S and 2B running towards him, and ran straight in one direction. However, the speed of 9S is relatively fast, so the distance is slowly shortening. A few minutes later, Pod153 noticed that the rebel had stopped, and a dozen seconds later, 9S and 2B stopped in front of the ruins of a building, just in time to see a man carrying a little boy out.

9S looked at the little boy's face that was exactly the same as his, and showed a strange expression on his face, although he had memories of other S-type cyborgs in his brain, he had not seen it with his own eyes, but he saw his own 'kind' here. However, the S-type cyborg has black hair, not white like 9S. (It seems that the cyborg of the S series is black except for 9S =-=)

When the man saw 9S and 2B, his whole body became decadent, and he laughed at himself: "Sure enough, can't you run away...... 2B stepped forward: "Now I will arrest you for stealing the prosthetics of the members of the Leaf Sending Army." As he spoke, he pulled out the 'White Contract' to prevent him from resisting. The man put the little boy aside, sighed and said, "I know, I don't resist, but there's no need to arrest or anything, kill me." ”

In the face of the man's 'request', 2B, who was holding the 'White Contract', was stunned, but 9S on the side was not stunned. 9S turned to the man and asked, "Why do you want to die?" The man touched the little boy's head: "Because I didn't protect my family, he will definitely be erased or destroyed when he goes back, either way, he will die." I can't resist you, so it's better for me to die first than to watch him die, at least I'll protect him at the last minute, so I think it's worth it. ”

9S looked at the scene in front of him and whispered, "Family?" The tone was full of regret. The man seemed to hear 9S's words, touched the little boy's head and began to talk to himself: "...... I've been dreaming about it and wondering what it's like to have a family. Looking at the way those mechanical beings lived together and relied on each other, I suddenly felt so lonely...... So I stole the prosthetic body of the broken member of the leaf team and repaired him, hoping that he could become my family. ”

2B suddenly spoke: "But that's against the rules. After hearing this, the man smiled: "I know this, but I can't help it...... I want to try to live for whom I want to protect......" everyone fell silent.

9S lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to 2B: "2B, let's let them go......" Before 9S could finish speaking, 2B refused: "No, he is a wanted prisoner in the bunker!" ”

9S means that he is from the earth, and the crooked truth in his head is not at all understandable by 2B: "That's not ...... 2B You see, this uncle is no longer going to be brought back alive, and this little boy of the same model as me will definitely become the fate that the uncle said when he goes back, if we really want to arrest him, we might as well take the two corpses and go back directly. So let's forget it, and just kill ourselves in the process of arrest. The little boy next to him, who had not spoken, also spoke: "Please... Beg... You guys. ”

2B didn't speak, just turned around and walked away, 9S knew that she had been persuaded by her own crooked reasoning. He said to the uncle and the boy, "Let's go." The uncle looked surprised: "Really? You...... Will you let us go? 9S shrugged: "I don't have a problem, the key is 2B, she's okay is really okay, but fortunately she was persuaded by me." ”

"Yes...... Thank you so much. The uncle and the little boy looked grateful, and 9S said that it was all a small problem: "It's nothing, I'll go first, I wish you all a happy life." ”

The man and the boy waved goodbye to 9S, who also waved his hand and ran towards 2B, who had already gone far.
