Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 510: Can I tell the difference?

However, although he had escaped by relying on his intuition and was not kidnapped by Leon, Filia was captured by him. Even if her life was not in danger, it was still a troublesome matter...

After leaning back in the recliner and thinking for a while, Prince Andre stood up again, walked to the bookshelf on his left, took out a piece of metal connected to a copper wire from the secret compartment, and stuck it on the back of his head.

"Your Highness Andre!"

At the moment when the metal piece was close to the back of his head, an urgent voice sounded in Prince Andre's ear.

"How's your investigation going? Have you figured out the reason for the abnormal operation of Atifi 01? Has the abnormal situation been eliminated?"

"Don't call her Atifi 01. She has a name. You should call her Her Highness Filia."

After correcting the male voice, Prince Andrei said slowly:

"The cause of the abnormal calculation is still unclear, but the abnormal situation has been ruled out. Your No. 1 Research Area can now be unblocked. You don't have to worry about Feliya remotely calling Atifi 01 and continuing to perform excessive calculations."

"That's good……"

After hearing Prince Andre's notice, the male voice coming through the metal sheet heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked:

"Your Highness Andre, Ah... Princess Felia has been away from Atephi 01 for almost two months. When are you going to separate her from that human body and put her back into Atephi 01?"

"Let's talk about it~"

Prince Andre blinked when he heard this, and then said helplessly:
"I really want her to go back immediately, but unfortunately, Filia was kidnapped today. I don't even know how the information piece on the back of her head was removed. I can't find her at all now."

"?!!!"

What the hell? Fei... the body that "stored" the core program of Atifi 01 was kidnapped?
After hearing Prince Andre's words, a heavy inhalation sound suddenly came from the other end of the metal sheet.

After a few seconds of awkward silence, the person in charge of Research Area No. 1 said in a clearly annoyed tone:
"Your Highness Andre! Do you know what you are talking about? This is not something you can joke about!"

“Am I a jokester?”

After pulling his recliner next to the bookshelf and lying down again, Prince Andrei, who was so comfortable that he squinted his eyes, explained lazily:

"Several diplomatic missions came to visit us these past two days, and my mother assigned me the job of receiving them. Filia was very interested in one of the diplomatic missions, and after talking to me for a long time, she snatched the job of receiving them away.

However, the envoys of the delegation were actually two cleaners. After they saw Filia, they suddenly tied her up for no apparent reason... What could I do in the face of such a low-probability event?"

"But this could have been avoided!"

As if irritated by Prince Andre's perfunctory attitude, the head of Research Area No. 1 took two deep breaths and then said with some complaints:
"When that body was created, I have repeatedly suggested to you that the core program of Atifi 01 is too important. It is best to keep it in Research Area 1. Giving it a body and letting it move around is enough. Don't take it out casually!

And you have given your guarantee on this matter!
You said that with the information piece on the back of the head, the carefully selected guards, and the protection of the cleaners from the Cleanup Bureau, even if Atifi 01 leaves Research Area No. 1, it is unlikely to cause any problems. Now..."

"No, you're so annoying!"

After removing the metal sheet used for private conversations a little to reduce the noise coming from inside, Prince Andre said with an unhappy look on his face:
"I said 'unlikely' to go wrong. Do you understand what 'unlikely' means? Unlikely to go wrong means that it will not go wrong under normal circumstances, except in special circumstances. Do you understand?
A prince who came all the way here on a diplomatic mission suddenly kidnapped Filia. Only a mentally ill person could do such a thing. Even Atifi 01 couldn't figure it out, so how could I know?
Also, don't keep calling her Atephi 01. It sounds confusing to me. The real Atephi 01 is the machine that is soaking in the lake in your No. 1 Research Area. The one who has gained a physical body now is my nominal sister, Filia. You have to call her Her Highness."

"..."

"Okay, Your Highness Andre, I'll remember your request."

After being scolded by Prince Andre, the voice in the metal sheet turned slightly colder, and the person in charge of Research Area No. 1 said in a deep voice:
"But if possible, could you please answer a question for me? Why do you care so much about my address to Atefy 01?" "What else could it be?"

Prince Andrei crossed his legs and said impatiently:

"People are people, machines are machines. It's easier to tell them apart if you call them that!"

"You really should divide it up!"

The person in charge of Research Area No. 1 sneered upon hearing this, and then said with a hint of sarcasm:

"I have to remind you once again that the real Princess Filia died more than ten years ago. The so-called Princess Filia is just a flesh-and-blood creature that temporarily carries the core program of Atifi 01.

Those actions that look like those of a living person, and those answers that look like those of a living person, are not real at all. They are just models that we scholars have calculated bit by bit over the years.

It's not your dead sister at all, it's just a fake flesh puppet we created, without a soul at all!"

"..."

"I understand this better than you."

After a brief silence, Prince Andrei sat up straight on the recliner, clutching the metal sheet and said expressionlessly:
"Strictly speaking, I killed Filia with my own hands, and I buried her in the cemetery with my own hands. I know this very well, and you don't need to remind me!"

"Haha, then I can only hope that you really understand."

It seemed that he was too lazy to tell Prince Andre. On the other side of the metal sheet, the person in charge of Research Area No. 1 sneered and said:

"I think you should understand better than me how important Atifi 01 is to the kingdom. The loss of its core program is such an absurd thing that cannot be tolerated!
Therefore, I will tell His Majesty the King the truth about how you lost Atifi 01 and the speculations that you have denied. I hope that your explanation will satisfy His Majesty by then!"

"Oh."

Facing the threat from the person in charge of Research Area No. 1, Prince Andre's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said lazily:

"Go ahead, go ahead, you can complain however you want!"

"Humph!"

After a snort of anger, the person in charge of Research Area No. 1 directly "hung up" the communication, while Prince Andre sighed, got up from the recliner reluctantly, rummaged in the secret compartment of the bookshelf, took out another metal piece with a lever, and stuck it to the back of his head.

After a while, a familiar voice that was obviously trying to suppress anger sounded in Prince Andre's ears again.

"His Majesty!"

The person in charge of Research Area No. 1 suppressed his anger and reported through the "internal communication card":

"The core program of Atifi 01 has been hijacked, and Prince Andre's attitude is ambiguous. I even suspect that this hijacking may be related to him!"

"understood."

After pulling the lever of the metal plate, Prince Andrei walked back a few steps while pulling the copper wire, and then lay back on his comfortable big recliner. Then he controlled his voice with a slightly old-fashioned tone and answered majestically:
"Just take care of your own business first. As for other issues, I will talk to Andre about it!"
