Chapter 65: The Choice of Reason
The monitor is still playing a random selection of historical records, in which there are human wars, the birth of robots, and the destruction of everything.
B3068 cowered in the corner, holding the weed in his hand.
Its eyes were half-down, and the dim light in the light on its chest beat again and again, as if that was its heartbeat.
Its creator destroyed the world and left with it, leaving it here to endure loneliness.
Let it be here, in the wreckage they left behind, to continue the mission that even they have given up.
Humans are selfish, and even humans themselves admit that they are the most pampered children of the planet, so much so that they are overpampered.
But B3068 didn't know that it had thought that humanity had been forced to leave, to leave their homeland, to leave their homeland. He thought that human beings were gentle and kind, that as the primates of all things, they would take care of all things and create new life.
But now, humans have told it themselves.
Humanity is the sinner, its creator, and the culprit who made this planet abandoned.
Outside the window of the factory, the sky is filled with brown smoke and dust, and there, the earth seems to be indicting the sins of mankind.
is heartbroken and complaining about the betrayal of her children.
B3068 didn't understand what it was supposed to do, and its program began to flash rapidly, making its electronic audio a little hurried.
At first, I don't know when she came to this factory, but among the countless robots, she saw B3068 at first sight.
Because it's the only one that's so scarred.
Passing through the silent robot, he first walked to B3068's side.
The video on the monitor was still playing on a loop, and when she looked up at the scene, she saw weapons, war, and the regret of people after the war.
She saw what B3068 saw, and she saw this grand feast of sin, the black mist screaming monstrously across the planet.
Then, when it was all over and all the sins subsided, the remaining endless loneliness was piled up on B3068's body without reservation.
At the beginning, the green light in B3068's eyes became more and more gray, and it was almost about to disappear slowly.
At this time, Chu asked aloud.
"Would you like to continue?"
The silence was broken by the sound of the beginning.
It's like the hand that stretched out to B3068 under the stars on the first night of her arrival, breaking its loneliness.
"Drop. ”
The green light in B3068's eyes slowly lit up again, and it looked up at Hatsu, just as it had looked at her when it first looked at the Milky Way.
The first black eyes seem to be able to reflect everything.
There was silence for a moment.
B3068 almost didn't hesitate, and handed the weeds in his hand to Hatsu.
And this is the choice it makes, and if its creator is a sinner, it is willing to atone for it.
At first, she looked at the weeds in front of her, but she didn't take them, she asked lightly.
"What if I told you again that you would be shut down when you found the right environment, this is a program that humans have set for you, would you like to continue?"
She didn't go to B3068 because she could almost predict B3068's shocked appearance and anger after being deceived.
But the first thought was wrong, and B3068 was not shocked, nor was it angry.
The robot just froze for a moment, then raised the weed in his hand again.
"Didi. ”
Like the previous ones, the pale green eyes were bright, as if they were showing off their exploits to Hatsu, looking forward to Hatsu's happy look.
Chu was slightly stunned, looking at B3068, in the eyes of the robot, she did not see a little hesitation, nor did she mix any emotion, only the same expectation.
For a long time, Chu scolded softly.
"Are you stupid. ”
"Didi. B3068 turned his head blankly, not understanding why Hatsu was scolding himself.
A breeze passed through the window, blowing the weeds in its hands.
It's just, making the decision it should have made.
······
After that, Hatsu and B3068 left the factory, and they noted the location of the factory.
Although they didn't find a way to start those robots, if any parts of the B3068 broke in the future, they could come here to pick them up, so in general, this trip to the factory was quite fruitful.
The two returned to their hut on the wasteland, where B3068 planted the weeds, and sat quietly as before, watching the blades of grass flicker.
Wait until night falls, and it's time to rest.
In the cabin, while lying on the bed with his eyes closed, B3068 habitually lies down on the floor to sleep.
But at this moment, it heard the sound of getting up behind it, as if it had just stepped out of bed.
Before it could turn around, Hatsu had already laid down behind it and reached out to hug it.
B3068's body froze for a moment.
"Didi. ”
It was nervously speechless.
"Don't move. ”
Chu said softly as she lay behind B3068, her forehead resting on the robot's back, her hands wrapped around its waist.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep in silence.
She wants to accompany B3068's loneliness and take away its sins.
Not because of the task, just because she wanted to.
In the hut, neither of them made a sound, they were equally lonely, they were equally atoning for their sins.
I don't know why, but when I first leaned behind B3068, I remembered how I felt when I leaned next to that orc in the Apostle Wasteland.
It's a cold iron plate, but it seems to be very warm.
She remembered that one night, she and the orcs were sitting in a cave in the wasteland to rest, and she sat next to the orcs, somewhat wanting to sleep.
It was raining outside the wasteland, and the sound of the rain was whispering in my ears.
The orc looked out of the cave, as if thinking about something, and suddenly, it said to her.
"Hey, if one day, only one of you and me can survive, you don't want to show mercy. ”
At that time, Chu remembered that he was only half asleep and half awake.
"Hmm. ”
"Huh. The orc grinned, baring his sharp teeth and feigning a fierce look.
"I'm not going to show mercy. ”
But in the end, the orcs never touched her.
She remembered that the orc blood was unusually warm as it flowed through her palms, and that day, the rain in the wasteland was unusually cold.
At first it was unfortunate, for she was walking on a barren and lonely road, with only the mire and the abyss waiting to swallow her up.
But she was also lucky, because she had encountered many tenderness on this barren and lonely road.
