Chapter 16: The Boy Who Looks Up at the Sky

Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, on the upper floor of the dormitory of the Department of Architecture of Waseda University.

A teenager was watching in amazement as the fierce aerial battle took place above his head.

Whether it was the fierce firefight, or the extreme speed beyond ordinary people's imagination, it showed that the two UFOs in the sky had a power far beyond the current technology.

However, I don't know why, the young man looked at this fierce air battle, but his heart couldn't help but tremble.

That's longing, that's envy, that's an innate impulse......

[What's that?! 】

[TPC's aircraft?] Or is it an invasion of cosmic people? 】

The boy's impulse and desire to fly was planted when he first saw a large rocket launch on Amami Oshima when he was about ten years old.

Last year, when I heard the news from TPC that we wanted to build a response team composed of the younger generation, this impulse and desire became even stronger.

Because of this special response team, there is a brand new aircraft with its own yellow livery.

During the news, the boy's full attention was focused on the brand-new flying machine, and he didn't realize what the news meant.

It's a pity that the adoptive parents of the teenager have deep expectations for the teenager.

Unwilling to live up to this expectation, the teenager finally decided to give up his desire and urge to fly.

He chose to follow his adoptive father's advice and honestly applied for the Department of Architecture at Waseda University in Tokyo, aiming to become an excellent architect.

It's just that even if he has chosen to give up in reality, the boy still longs to become a professional pilot in his heart and soar above the nine heavens.

So every night when no one was around, the teenager would sneak up to the top floor of the dormitory building, look up at the starry sky, and imagine what it was like to be in it.

In a sense, the reason why the boy was able to see a fierce air battle over Tokyo tonight was actually a kind of inevitability.

Rumble!

Just when more and more people are awakened by the fierce battle in the sky and attract attention.

One of the aircraft was suddenly hit directly by an opponent's microwave cannon, and then fell impartially towards the top floor of the dormitory where the teenager was.

"Huh?"

He didn't expect that he would encounter such an unwarranted disaster, the young man was stunned at first, and then instinctively pulled his legs and ran away.

Another flying machine, which was in the crossfire with it, was apparently aware of this as well.

The aircraft that obviously had the advantage actually gave up the idea of chasing after the victory, and instead sent out a towing beam, dragging the teenager into a "streamer" before the aircraft fell.

"What stupid are you doing?! You're retarded! ”

Seeing his own brain give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Lu Xuan in the cockpit couldn't help but roar.

The previous self-assertion was just that, but now it's in a state of battle?!

It was not easy to hit the Daisimanian aircraft hard, and this broken brain actually made a claim to send out a towing beam.

"According to the original program you wrote for me, you must not sit idly by and watch the death of a living body if you have the strength to spare."

"Based on the current situation, the system has judged that we have the upper hand in the battle with Daisimania Flight, and we have the spare strength to assist the affected lifeforms."

Hearing Zhi Brain's cold reply, Lu Xuan noticed the young man who was affected by this battle.

"Sure enough, it's an artificial retard!"

"It's not too early or too late, but at this time, I have exerted my 'subjective initiative'."

"Don't you know that we need to eliminate that Desimania flight as soon as possible to minimize the impact of the fight?"

complained so much, but Lu Xuan still didn't stop the rescue of the Galvin after all.

Because it's the same as the emotional module that was carried before.

The internal program of the brain is also the core code that Lu Xuan wrote into the bottom layer from the beginning, in order to prevent this from happening now.

After all, I know my character.

Lu Xuan never thought that he was the kind of saint who was born sacred, and he never overestimated his moral bottom line.

On the contrary, whether before or after the crossing, Lu Xuan was a mortal with obvious flaws.

Especially after coming into contact with the technology of the Galvins, Lu Xuan has always been worried that one day he will completely lose his morality as a human and become a monster with no bottom line.

In this way, a "restraining force" that can remind oneself that he is still human at a critical moment and correct some of his wrongdoings must exist.

To put it mildly, most of the behaviors of "artificial intellectual disability" originate from Lu Xuan's idealized requirements for himself.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Sue!

In the moment of the brief exchange between Lu Xuan and Zhi Brain, the young man who was pulled by the towing beam had already appeared on the co-pilot of the aircraft.

"This ...... What is it? ”

His eyes widened in astonishment, and the boy only felt that his eyes were dark, and he appeared in a completely unfamiliar place out of thin air.

Fortunately, the boy had a big heart, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, he immediately realized that he was now hundreds of feet in the air.

In particular, the flying machine below that crashed into the dormitory building almost killed itself.

"Wait, what about my classmates?!"

Just when Lu Xuan felt that the young man's reaction was a little sluggish, the other party's next sentence made his eyes widen again.

"You're almost dead, and you still care about your classmates?"

In fact, it's no wonder that Lu Xuan was so surprised, but the performance of the young man in front of him was a little too "dazzling".

Obviously, he was almost killed by a flying machine, but the first thing he did after getting out of trouble was to care about other students in the same dormitory building.

"You don't have to worry, those classmates of yours have already been evacuated by TPC."

"You don't know why you stayed on the roof of the dormitory, and as a result, I lost the best time to destroy that flying machine."

With Lu Xuan's explanation and complaining, the young man scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, maybe because I was so caught up in my own world that I didn't notice the evacuation alarm."

Hearing this, the depression in Lu Xuan's heart was relieved a little.

"Forget it, since it's already like this, then you can stay here honestly for the rest of it."

"After I destroy that flying machine, I'll put you down somewhere there's no one."

"Of course, if you don't want to be troubled by TPC afterwards......"

"It's better to find a reliable excuse to say that you didn't go back to the dormitory tonight."
