"Don't leave me! Please, wake up, wake up! Why, why take her, why! Please, really please, don't take her, don't take my Cher. ”

A tear ran from the corner of my eye, across my cheek, and across the pain in my heart. Cher, gone, left me forever, my most beloved and the only one I loved, gone. In the end, all that remained in my mind was the helpless smiling face and the poignant red.

It was as if I had been pricked by a needle, and my heart hurt so much that I wanted to stop breathing, even though I knew so clearly that I had no breath and no heart.

My brain was drowsy, I struggled to get up from the sleep pod, as usual, the first thing that entered my ears was not the words of the man in front of me, but the sound of the gears in my body, although it was a little noisy, but after listening to it for a long time, I got used to it.

"Are you awake? J7。 A familiar voice rang in my ears, and I knew he was calling me.

I nodded softly at the handsome and kind man in front of me. He smiled at me, turned his back, and continued fiddling with his broken parts, which seemed to never be finished.

I slowly tried to stand up, but the ensuing jolt caused me to sit down on the sleeping pod with a loud noise.

"Haha, J7, it looks like your balance system needs to be perfected a little more, and you will always be unsteady every time you encounter air currents." The man said as he assembled the intricate parts.

"Okay Xiaode, don't make fun of J7, it's going to be sad too! Besides, isn't it because you didn't design it well? A sweet female voice rang out from the next cabin, and a petite figure stepped out of it, dressed loosely, with messy hair, and a toothbrush in her mouth, apparently having just woken up. Cherry-like red lips and sleepy-eyed big eyes, no matter what angle you look at, she is an unprecedented beautiful girl.

It is worth noting that there is a copper necklace hanging around her neck, the main body of the necklace is wide and narrow from top to bottom, and a milky white gemstone is inlaid in the middle, and the whole is hexagonal. On the left side of the hexagon is a devil's wing-like decoration, and on the right is an angel's wing-like decoration, reflecting the metallic texture of the light.

"Xiaoya, I'm the captain of the ship, don't call me by a nickname, call me Oude." Oude put down the parts in his hand and said helplessly.

"Yes, then you have to call me Ouya, and you are not allowed to call me by my nickname!" Ou Ya said angrily, and then put on a puffy appearance, which was cute.

"Isn't it close to me by my nickname, I'm your brother anyway."

"Hmph, how can my brother know how to fiddle with those useless broken parts all day long, and he doesn't even care about his lovely sister."

"Isn't it necessary to maintain the ship, although this steam flying ship is the latest model, it has been traveling long distances, and it is easy to break down, so it is easier to assemble the parts in advance and replace them."

"Hmph, ignore you, I'll go back and read my novels at ease." With that, Ouya turned back to his room, and Oude stopped talking, continuing to immerse himself in electric light and metal.

I walked slowly to the window, and the first thing I did when I woke up every day was to go here and look at the sea of clouds outside, somehow, seeing this, my heart could be calm, even if it was only for a short moment, and I wanted to be free from that unspeakable pain.

Focusing on the window, a robotic body came into view, and I knew that this was me.

Looking at such a body, my mood is somewhat complicated. I'm not a modified man, I'm a real machine, a machine created by a man named "Ode", a machine called "J7".

I can't speak, I don't smell, I don't feel, I don't even have this pain that can only overflow from the "heart", I don't have this kind of wisdom that can only come from the "soul", but they exist like miracles in this mechanical body.

I'm dead, and the reason why I'm still able to think is probably because of obsession.

I can't remember what the world I used to live in was like, and I almost forgot about myself. And the only thing that is deeply engraved in my mind is the one I love so much, and it is also the reason why I am here.

Cher is my only one, my all, and the meaning of my life, for me, losing her is losing the courage to live. And on that day, I lost my whole world, and I lost the one I loved so much. I hugged her, I could only cry helplessly to the sky, I could only let the tears keep taking away my life, and I could only accompany her on that journey without return.

My heart is dead, I cry out loud, I beg loudly, even if I lose everything, I want Cher to live, I want to be with her forever, because I love her.

Perhaps the heavens heard my prayer and a thought sent me here, telling me that there was a way for me to see her again, to see the one I loved so much, but at the cost that my soul would remain here forever, and there would be no chance of reincarnation.

So I became a machine, I couldn't speak, I couldn't cry, I could only let the pain called "love" in my heart continue to torment me, constantly destroying my remaining consciousness, and I could only rely on the sad wish to see her again, even if only once, trying to save this last bit of soul. But even so, I knew that my time was running out.

I don't have the ability to speak, I don't have the hand to hold a pen, I have to rely on myself, even if it may be in vain, it may bury my soul here forever, I have to try, because I really love her, I love the only Cher that belongs to me.

Try to calm yourself down and try not to think about those painful memories. I walked to Oude's side, and in order to function properly, I had to ask Oude to replace the battery of this body every day.

"J7, do you want to change the battery? Just so try my new and improved battery today, this time it should keep you active for longer, and it will last for about 5 hours in the case of a power failure. "There was a slight sound of metal rubbing on my back, and it was supposed that Oude had opened my battery slot.

Replacing the battery usually lasts a little while, so I took a look at Oude's table, a simple metal table that was rusty and littered with all sorts of puzzling parts, a few blueprints made of leather, and a history book that was some years old.

I once took advantage of his lack of attention to this history book to read for a while, after all, my secret still has to be hidden, in order to be able to see her again, even the smallest mistake can't be there.

The book is thick, but for some reason, this body is unusually quick to get information, and it is unforgettable. After spending some time looking through it, I also have a little understanding of the world.

This world is actually not peaceful, the human beings living here seem to be facing a great disaster, in the book records that here I don't know when, and collided with another world, from the "black dead field", some monsters called "dragons" flew out, wantonly slaughtered in this world, and the lives were destroyed.

People stubbornly resisted, using scientific and technological civilization to fight against these "dragons", a large number of lives were buried in the breath of the dragon, even with intelligent machinery there is no way to fight against the powerful dragon, but human beings rely on body transformation, is miraculously barely able to maintain the situation, to obtain a short period of comfort.

The captain of the steaming ship, Ode, coincidentally is a mechanic who provides mechanical equipment to the front line, and his sister Ouya is the pilot of this ship, although it is generally autonomous.

"Okay J7, let's see if the battery is running normally." With the voice of Ode's somewhat excited and expectant voice, the hood behind me was closed, and I was finally able to move freely.

I lowered my head, and on the simple display on the wrist of my right arm, the three-bar battery that originally represented the power of the battery became a five-bar, and the blank part under the original battery icon also had a small dark gray sun icon.

"Hehe,I can't think of itJ7,Actually, I just secretly replaced your cover with a newly developed new cover,I've flipped through a lot of books before,I've experimented for a long time,I found that the glowing ball in the sky is actually overflowing with energy.,So I made such an energy-absorbing plate.,In this way, when there's light,Your battery can also charge itself.,It's just still in the experimental stage.,The effect shouldn't be very good.,And this cover is a little afraid of water.,Can't be drenched all the time.,Oh yes.,Because there's not enough light now, So that little icon is gray. ”

I looked up at this man with pride and excitement on his face, as if he could put in 200% effort and interest in anything that involved mechanical things. Although I know that I am just an invention to him, I am grateful to him for being able to modify these more useful parts for me.

"Xiaode, come on, come on, we seem to be about to arrive!" Ouya's voice came from the direction of the cockpit, and the voice was obviously a few points higher than usual.

"Ah, really! Great, I'm about to vomit in the sky during this time, and don't call me Xiaode! Oude said as he trotted to the cockpit, and I followed.

Although in the conversation between Oude and Ouya, I probably knew what kind of place we were going to, but when I saw it with my own eyes, it was a different feeling.
