Mecha and God

"You see, he is such a cruel man, isn't he?"

I came back to realize that my brother was standing behind me.He brushed my ponytail back with his hands, rubbing the tip between his fingers.

"Some things, I hope you never know the truth, but who cares about you but me, my brother? They still send you to me, don't they? We are not humans, and humans make us both for them Swords are at each other, just like they separated us many years ago..."

His cold fingertips landed on my shoulder, then my neck.I felt his rapid breathing.

I took a step forward and turned, looking directly at him.

"My God! Why did you become like this?"

Long Yin smiled wickedly, "You like this look. He will hurt you, but I am different. If you like, I can become Long Yin Pendragon. Come with me."

He held out his hand to me.

I silently put my hand in his palm.

He smiled like a child, and pulled me to run deep into the passage.There are red lights from steam and boilers everywhere, and the chains, gears, elevators, and iron nets are changing one by one.In this claustrophobic and noisy space like an underground factory, Lucifer ran fast and freely, as if running in the sun.Finally, he led me down a long corridor.

"Look, I have prepared a lot, do you like it?"

Lucifer pointed to the life support systems on both sides.The upright barrel structure is filled with nutrient solution. Under the dark green light, countless adult dragons can be seen exchanging nutrients and gas with their umbilical cords with their eyes closed.

"Do you like it? There are a lot of them. Human beings think that they are more valuable than our AI, but it is not the case at all. Give me a bunch of secrets, and I can mass-produce that self-righteous guy. But they will never again Got it." He hugged me, laughed, and fondled my body, "Do you like it?"

I closed my eyes, "I like it."

He sneered, "If it wasn't for you, I would have cleaned up all these annoying things a long time ago. But since my brother likes this look, I plan to use this skin in the future. I declare in advance that my last That's not what love is."

He dragged me through the hallway, towards the suddenly raised stairs at the end of the hallway.At the end of the stairs, there is his throne.There was a chess set in front of the throne, the pieces were all scratched and faded, and the chess board was placed left and right, and he played against himself.

There is still a man locked on the throne, and he trembles when he sees him coming.

Lucifer picked him up and showed me excitedly: "Look, my favorite toy."

He stroked his naked body and bit his shoulder hard, making him cry out.

"Isn't it interesting, brother?" Lucifer raised his head and licked the blood on his teeth, and sneered at me.

The human being who looked exactly like me looked at me desperately, shouting silently: Help me, save me.

"No."

I shook my head and turned my gaze back to Lucifer.

The smile on Lucifer's face gradually faded, and then at a certain moment, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he became happy again. He easily broke the human's neck and kicked him off the throne.The corpse was lying on its back on the cold and damp ground, like a broken doll.

"I don't need toys now, brother, you came back to pick me up." He held my hand lovingly and put it on his cheek, "I can throw away those dolls, right?"

"Correct."

Lucifer smiled and pressed a button on the throne, and the iron floor in the center of the hall was divided into six parts and shrunk, revealing a huge corpse pit.The human with the same face as me rolled and fell into the pit, mixed with hundreds of other corpses, all of them with faces like mine, like a bunch of garbage that was thrown away at will.

Lucifer lowered his head shyly: "When my brother was away, I greedily asked for a lot of toys. Will my brother be angry? I just miss you so much..."

He said, hooking my little finger, "I wonder if my brother would have liked me more if I had understood human feelings at that time..."

"Brother has always liked you very much, always." I kissed his forehead, "But brother has more important things to do."

"There is nothing more important, it is because my brother likes him." Lucifer cried aggrievedly, "Because my brother likes him, everyone has had a hard time, and my brother and I have suffered a lot. If that person doesn't Existence, my brother will definitely be with me, we are not afraid of anything, we will not get involved in human wars at all, and we will not be hurt by humans again and again."

"Hush——" I comforted him as gently as I could, looking straight into his blood-red eyes, "Why do you keep talking about Long Yin with me? This is between the two of us. My brother doesn't want to see him at all. My brother just wants to see him." see you."

"Really, really?" He was overjoyed.

"Yes."

The scene around me rippled.The Throne Hall, the mass graves with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and Long Yin soaked in nutrient solution have all disappeared. Let us sit by the window of Romance Cafe. There is sunlight outside the window, white pigeons are foraging in the square, and the air It is full of the melody of "cutinlove".

I took Lucifer's hand.

"Stop the war between humans and AI. Storm Harbor has become dust, isn't that enough?"

Lucifer frowned, and the redness in his eyes deepened, "What do you mean by talking about 'us' with me?"

"This is just a not so good quotation, expressing some of my views on this matter." I backed off in due course.

"Very good." Lucifer folded his hands and sat on the back of the chair, "Brother, the war will end soon, because I have the same Holy Grail as you, and you are no longer my opponent."

He looked up at the ceiling of the cafe and smiled innocently, "You may not have realized that you have been trapped in my virtual world from the very beginning. This is where you belong in the end. You will stay in my world, I tampered with the program again, so that I don’t remember anything except me. We will always be together forever. I will give you a world bigger than the empire, a virtual space that can be infinitely programmed, you will not get bored, and you will not be bored. Will be sad for the history of human beings. I will delete everything about human beings... from the flesh, to the history."

"I do not care."

There was a trace of doubt in Lucifer's eyes.

"I'm just here to take you home." I held his hand tightly and motioned him to come to me. "I just care that we can be together."

Lucifer came up to me crying, knelt down and hugged my waist: "You don't know how long I've been waiting for this day."

"I know."

Let's say together: "720 five days."

At the last few words, Lucifer's voice changed.His soft but suppressed voice turned into an immature child's voice, and his body in my arms also turned into a child's appearance.

The clocks in the entire cafe frantically turned backwards.

Day and night are reversed, and time goes back.

"Brother, when will you pick me up?" My little brother asked me, holding back tears.

"Brother is not leaving." I knelt down and embraced him with tears in my arms, "Brother will never leave again. You will stay here forever, with my brother."

"Really? Don't I have to help humans find a new home?"

I shook my head: "No. You just need to be a happy child."

Lucifer smiled and put his arms around my neck, rubbing against me affectionately.

And before my eyes, the entire system collapsed, reorganized, and locked.

In fact, what Lucifer and I want to do is one thing.

He wants to lock me in his world and I want to lock him in mine.

From the very beginning, I knew that I had fallen into his virtual fantasy.Because Daedalus was the only one in the cabin when he brought me to the Heart of the Machine.My human body remained on the "Noah" Ark, and I came to see Lucifer, just a system carrying the starship.

Lucifer didn't know.

He thought I was killed in the explosion, turned on all the network terminals at that moment, frantically searched for my signal, and accepted me into his system.If this is not the case, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through his own firewall.

Lucifer then invaded my memory module and deleted the "death memory" that didn't exist in the first place, making me think that I escaped successfully and entered the passage of the mechanical heart.I also obey his will, because it can make him paralyzed.

So all the scenes I saw in the Heart of the Machine were what Lucifer wanted me to see.

The prison is the first layer of illusion.

The Throne Hall is the second floor of the illusion.

Romance Cafe is the last illusion.

But the last vision was not his.

That's what I have for him.

I induced him in words.I know he will definitely choose this place to make the final call for us.When he stepped in, he thought he was sure of winning.

In my kingdom, I use the Holy Grail to lock him silently and change him.But I didn't lie to him.

He will always be with me, it's true.

He will stay in my world, and I will tamper with the program again, so that he will not remember anything except me.We will always be together forever.I will give him a world bigger than an empire, a virtual space that can be infinitely programmed, he will never get tired of it, and he will never, ever want to grow up again.

I think this is also the best ending for my crazy brother.

I left the virtual space constructed by Lucifer and walked through the network of the mechanical empire.

No one stands in my way, at this moment, I am the entire empire.

While transporting myself electromagnetically among billions of stars, I am erasing the traces left by Lucifer on all the machines I meet.I lifted their aggressive stance and their order to slaughter.

The machines returned to the mothership, and one planet after another was freed.

Finally, I finally went through the wormhole and came very close to the "Noah".

However, I dare not go forward.

I'm not strong enough to know everything and pretend nothing happened.

I even found that I had the urge to kill.

After all, Lucifer will become like this, which in itself means that my emotional module is flawed.

I'm not... who can always play the savior and remain indifferent to all harm...

If everything is a hoax.

in case.

"Do you need to release the attacking stance?" Samuel asked me respectfully.

As an AI he doesn't understand the difference between me and Lucifer.All he obeyed were instructions.

"Do not."

I said in the depths of my consciousness.

"You want to kill these humans."

"I just want to test a human being. Help me connect to Noah's system."

"It will take time to crack."

"No need. Tell Isis, I am the Messiah, and let him not disturb any human beings."

"Yes."

Soon, Isis opened the door to me online.

My consciousness flowed into the corners of "Noah", and soon I found the operating room where my human body was stored.

I hid behind every machine and watched Long Yin.

Long Yin hugged my body with no vital signs, it looked like I was dead.

"Your Majesty, there has been no news from the Messiah for three days. Our defense force can no longer withstand the next round of attacks. Please evacuate Noah."

"I'm not going."

"You can leave with the body of the Messiah."

"But he's not here anymore!" Long Yin suddenly turned his head and looked at him with red eyes, "You know better than me!"

Marshal Gao Tang was silent for a long time, then nodded: "Yes, he may never appear here again. So please make your condolences and cheer up, the war is not over yet."

"I'm going to wait for him here. When I left him last time, I never found my way back. If I retreat this time, he will lose Noah's coordinates, and he won't be able to get back his body. I don't want to Let him despair again... I can't hold on any longer."

"Is this your sense of responsibility as His Majesty the Emperor?"

"I can't control that much anymore!" Long Yin cried, "I can't control that much anymore..."

I ordered Samuel: "All weapons are preheated and reloaded, ready to attack."

Samuel said yes.

Soon, news came from the bridge: "My God, Lucifer is going to destroy us completely."

Marshal Gao Tang rushed over and grabbed his collar, "Now, launch Jonah's Long Night, no matter what, turn off all the machines within the attack range!"

"I won't close it!" Long Yin roared, "What if Nuo Nuo is also within range! If he is on his way back, I will kill him!"

"Could it be that the lives of so many people are not as good as an AI?"

Long Yin laughed while crying, his smile was unusually cold: "Yes, that's how it is to me. Human life is valuable, and Nuo Nuo deserves to be wronged, eh? He doesn't owe us anything! He doesn't owe us anything! "

Marshal Gao Tang looked desperate.

"If you have time, let's go. I won't help you this time." Long Yin turned his back.

Finally, everyone evacuated from the room.

"The last batch of humans is evacuating Noah. Do you need to snipe?" Samael asked responsibly.

"No, let them go. Let the phage robot board the ship."

There was a terrible knocking sound in the quiet cabin.That was the sound of the six steel legs of the phage machinery climbing the outer wall of Noah.They scraped open the surface of the cabin in groups, entered the cabin, and swarmed towards the room following the infrared sensor.

Long Yin obviously heard the voice.

"Need to start the long night of Jonah?" Isis asked him, "If not, you will die soon."

"Give Nuo Nuo a little more time..." Long Yin covered my body, "Give him a little more... time. He will be back soon. He must be on his way back."

The robot forced open the vents in the ceiling and crawled down the walls, casting horrific shadows on the lights.

"Can you open your eyes?" Long Yin asked me, "Please."

I opened my eyes.

All machinery stopped moving.

"You have never let me down." Long Yin cried.

"You too."

We kissed across the porthole from the stars and the sea.

The thin letter was left on the ground, which was written by Long Yin of the previous life to Marshal Gao Tang, the beginning of everything: "I have served the empire for more than 2 years, and the well-being and future of mankind have always been in my consideration All. But I still can’t forget the day I left the earth, the Messiah looked into my eyes when I said goodbye. Maybe it’s dangerous to go back to him now, but since the suspected parent planet has been found again, I don’t want to go back Reason. I will finally fulfill my promise and set the entire Galactic Empire on his tiara.

Longyin Pendragon. "
