Reborn group pet, the boss begs for forgiveness

Li Qiang, a once skilled and trusted locksmith, was cruelly played a joke by fate during a seemingly ordinary lock-picking job.

"Master, please help me open the door lock of this house. I forgot to bring my key." That day, a customer with an anxious face rushed to Li Qiang like an ant on hot pan and spoke very quickly.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Li Qiang thought to himself, with a habitual smile on his face. He was confident in his skills, and the tools in his hands seemed to come alive under his skilled operation. He worked with full concentration, without any doubt in his heart, thinking that this was just another ordinary working day.

However, when the door slowly opened, an ominous premonition came over Li Qiang. His eyes showed a hint of surprise and confusion, and his relaxed expression was gradually replaced by tension. He began to realize that what was going to happen next would change his life.

As the door opened completely, a cold breath rushed towards him, causing Li Qiang to shudder. He stared at the scene with wide eyes, and endless fear surged in his heart. It was a dark abyss that seemed to swallow him up. He stepped back unconsciously, and his body trembled slightly.

In that dark abyss, he saw his past, present and future. His past dreams were shattered into pieces, and his beautiful hopes were annihilated in the darkness. He felt desperate and helpless, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment. Tears blurred his eyes, and the pain in his heart surged like a tide.

However, in the depths of darkness, he also saw a faint light. It was a spark of hope, the strength and courage deep in his heart. He realized that no matter how great the difficulties and setbacks he encountered, he could not give up and must face them bravely.

Li Qiang took a deep breath and wiped away the tears from his eyes. He straightened his spine and walked into the darkness step by step. He knew that this was a turning point in his life and an opportunity for him to grow. Although the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, he was determined to walk out of the darkness and embrace his own bright future.

"Who are you? How do you have the key to my house?" The real owner stood at the door, full of anger and shock.

"I... I'm a locksmith. This gentleman said he forgot to bring his keys and asked me to help him open the lock." Li Qiang explained hurriedly.

"Nonsense! You are a thief! I'm going to call the police!" The homeowner attacked Li Qiang violently without saying a word.

"That's not true. I was really deceived by her..." Li Qiang was caught off guard and suffered severe injuries. His clothes were stained with blood.

Although the client later admitted his deception and that Li Qiang had indeed opened someone else's door, this could not change the cruel reality. Li Qiang fell unconscious in a pool of blood, and his life was in danger.

Li Qiang was the mainstay of the family. His serious illness was like a violent storm, plunging the whole family into a deep abyss of despair. The economic burden and the difficulties of life came upon them like a tidal wave. His wife was like a candle in the wind, helplessly guarding his bedside, tears flowing like a flood.

"What should we do? What should we do?" The wife's voice was full of despair.

Just when they felt desperate, Aesop Institute extended a helping hand to them.

"We understand your husband's situation and we are willing to provide help," said the staff of the institute.

"Really? Thank you so much!" The wife burst into tears with excitement.

The staff of the institute gently persuaded Li Qiang's wife: "Although there are certain risks in mechanical transformation, if it is successful, it will bring hope of life to your husband."

Li Qiang's wife's eyes were filled with hesitation and fear. She asked in a trembling voice, "Will it really work? What will he become?"

The staff understood her concerns and gently replied: "We will do our best. After the operation, his body will be stronger and he will have a chance to recover."

Although she was still struggling, the wife finally gritted her teeth and signed the consent form for the mechanical transformation. She said with tears in her eyes: "For him, I am willing to try."

Inside the operating room, researchers were performing the transformation surgery with nervous and focused expressions.

Time passed by, and finally, Li Qiang slowly opened his eyes. He looked down at his body and was surprised to find that only his brain and heart were left, and the rest of his limbs and organs had turned into cold machines.

Li Qiang asked hoarsely, "Is this me?" The doctor beside him comforted him, "This is the power of technology. You will get used to it slowly."

Li Qiang's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He felt unfamiliar and afraid of his new body, and confused and uneasy about the future. He said to his wife guiltily, "I don't know if I can go back to the way I was before." His wife held his hand tightly and said, "No matter what you become, I will always be with you."

Li Qiang knew that he had to be strong, not only for himself, but also for those who loved him. He made up his mind: "I will try my best to adapt and find the meaning of life again."

The mastermind behind the Aesop Institute is a businessman blinded by greed. Under his control, the Aesop Institute is like a demon wearing a charity mask, pretending to be a charity organization that brings hope and improves the quality of life for those who have been amputated or paralyzed accidentally. However, all this is just a carefully woven lie. The real purpose of the institute is to put a gorgeous coat on the robot, hype it up, and make huge profits.

The research institute firmly controls the power switch of the robots, as if it is the only key to the free world. In order to manipulate the thinking of these robots, they implant chips in their brains in an attempt to ensure absolute control over them. However, they underestimated the strong willpower of robots such as Shen Bo and Li Qiang.

Deep in the hearts of these robots, there are some inseparable emotions, like burning flames, which become the key factor for them to break through the control of the institute's chips. Every ten days, the institute will systematically inspect and upgrade the robots, as if these robots are just lifeless tools. However, when checking the chip implanted in Li Qiang, the researchers were surprised to find that he began to develop independent consciousness. This discovery was like throwing a stone into a lake, causing ripples.

The researchers became nervous instantly, and they immediately reported the situation to their superiors. The investors behind the scenes were both excited and worried after hearing the news. They were excited because if they could master the mechanism of generating autonomous consciousness, it would be like finding the mysterious key to making more powerful robots; but they were worried that Li Qiang might escape their control like a wild horse, which would undoubtedly be an adventure full of uncertainty.

So, the investors decided to meet Li Qiang in person, just like a horse expert, and try to uncover the mysterious reasons behind his autonomous consciousness.
