"Now, I can only turn him into something like me."

said the bionic man.

There wasn't much emotion in his frozen expression—the impostors androids brought to life the various characters of the Foundation, but when he told the truth about himself in his own words, his face was calm.

Only those eyes with dark green lines were shining dimly at the moment - it seemed to show that his current mood was not very good.

Ji Yuncheng questioned, "What do you mean by 'turning him into something like you'?"

"I am...a bionic mechanical combatant, number TXR-603." The bionic man replied slowly, "I also have another name, 'Miao Nan'."

"'Miao Nan' is the name of the human being replaced by you." Ji Yuncheng mercilessly debunked his statement, "And you are bionics."

"I understand the difference between androids and humans." The robot slowly raised its head, the skin around the eye sockets fell off, but the upper part of his face was beautifully contoured, and the exposed metal bones even added a little bit to it Weird beauty, "But, since I can remember, I've been 'Miao Nan'."

The bionic human TXR-603...how did his life begin?

The beginning of memory is an ancient long dream.

He wandered in the ocean of memory, watching a human named "Miao Nan" born in the deep sea base, lost his father and mother when he was young, and was raised by the base.When he grew up, he took training courses, learned basic mathematics and physics knowledge, taught himself hydrology and geography, and finally got admitted to the post of meteorological observer.

He roughly experienced the life of this young man named "Miao Nan"—all these experiences were folded together and forced into the brain of the bionic man TXR-603.

When he woke up, there was nothing in his mind except these vague, even incomprehensible memories in some places.

He was filled with "Miao Nan".

But it dawned on him almost instantly: he was just an android.

His action goals have been engraved in the deepest part of the system:

"The space fleet that hijacked the deep sea base."

"Are you awake?" A gentle voice sounded.

Someone handed him a piece of clothing.

TXR-603 looked up ignorantly, and saw a man's face.

His eyebrows are extremely gentle, reminding TXR-603 of the light waves on a sunny day, like a string of white pearls.Or when the mist is filled, the moonlight pours down on the sea, and the rippling broken light and shadow.

These associations give the TXR-603 some headaches.

The man stretched out his hand and fiddled with something in his bare back of the head. TXR-603 suddenly felt confused, but his headache also relieved a lot.

"Good boy, you're just born... we can take our time."

The man spoke softly, and stretched out his hand in front of him.

It was a hand as white as paper.It seems to have a certain natural softness.It is obviously different from the bright silver palm made of TXR-603 metal.

But TXR-603 still stretched out his hand obediently, and held the man's one.

"Hello." TXR-603 tried to speak, and found that he spoke in a clear, human voice, "I am a bionic robot, number TXR-603, and I have been officially awakened. I am very happy to serve you."

The man was silent for a moment.

After a while, he smiled and said, "Hi, TXR-603. I'm glad you've clarified your concept of self, but I'd rather you give me another answer."

TXR-603 stared at him for a long time.

Then, TXR-603 said slowly, "I understand what you mean."

The new bionic man tries to learn the human expressions in his memory to control his facial muscles, so that his expression looks vivid and natural:

"Hello. My name is Miao Nan."

After listening to Miao Nan's self-report, Lin Xingzhui said in disbelief: "So, the person who created you...imbued you with Miao Nan's memory."

"Yes." The android admitted.

"Is this how every bionic person is born?" Ji Yuncheng asked with a slight frown.

"As far as I know, it's all like this." The eyes of the bionic man are like two dark pools of water, with sparkling green lights flickering from time to time.

This also explains why these artificial people can hide so well - because they do have the memory that humans should have.They know how to enter the gate of the base, know the rules in the base, and know how to live in the base.

Unless necessary for the mission - they can be hidden from most people.

Except for some special... people who are extremely close to the owners of the memories they carry.

"Miao Nan and Seth have known each other for a long time." The bionic man said, as if he was just retelling a certain story, "They were classmates when they were studying the basic courses. But then Miao Nan passed the examination of the base and became a Sentinel One of the members... has been living at sea since then, and they have never met again—until the outpost where Miao Nan was located was attacked."

Ji Yuncheng: "Miao Nan is dead?"

The bionic man: "Yes. I know how my memory came about. After re-enacting the memory in my brain, Miao Nan completely fell into brain death. There is no possibility of him surviving."

Lin Xingzhu: "...So you used this trick on Seth."

"Our creator gave us a device to read memory. It makes us invincible in stealth missions." The bionic man said frankly, "Seth will not die. He will just sleep like me— —and usher in a new life.”

Lin Xingzhu could not accept it.

At this moment, his eyes have completely cooled down: "Who allowed you to do this?"

"I have no choice. Killing him is a mandatory order from the system." "Miao Nan" replied, "They ordered me to kill him and replace him. Originally, I couldn't resist—"

But he finally broke through the shackles and gained "freedom".

But this freedom obviously came too late.Seth's already chilled body was the testimony.

Everything the bionics do can only be regarded as a remedy after a dead sheep.

"Human memory is a very wonderful thing." The bionic man lowered his head and looked at another bionic man with Seth's face in front of him, his eyes were somewhat devout, "I used to be TXR-603. But, Miao Nan's The memory captures me. In the end... I can only be 'Miao Nan'."

The bionic man's expression finally changed, and he became visibly focused.

*

When he first returned to the base and reunited with Seth, "Miao Nan" actually didn't know what to say.

They "met" at the hunting ground—in fact, the bionic man sneaked here deliberately to find out information about Jokot—but Seth recognized him as a former classmate at a glance, so he came to him and reported him. Today's drink menu.

Then they chatted.

They talked about the sunrise on the sea, how the sea of ​​clouds was burnt to red gold; is mixed with ink.Only the water splashed by the waves when they hit something was still shiny and of a dull pearly color.

Finally one day, they chatted to land.

Because the sentry port is at sea, it sometimes comes into contact with some human settlements on land, and occasionally exchanges some things.

Miao Nan's most cherished treasure is a plant illustrated book exchanged from people in the land, and he will look it up when he has nothing to do.

Therefore, there is the same memory in the mind of "Miao Nan".

Seth didn't know what the scenery was like outside the deep-sea base, and Miu Nan had never set foot on land at all—he had only glimpsed the arc of the coastline from a distance, guessing how the clear waves broke on the sandy shore. Rolling back and forth—he has seen many pictures of plants, but can only rely on imagination to experience the touch and smell of their flowers, leaves, branches and stems.

"Miao Nan" stayed by Seth's side again and again.

His mission progress was even hindered by it.

One day, he suddenly found that in his memory, the memory about Seth's past became clearer and clearer.

Only then did the bionic realize that Miao Nan had a special affection for Seth.

Perhaps, this kind of affection has not existed for a day or two, or even more than a year or two.

When confronted with Seth, the android cannot control himself.He wanted to pour everything about himself in front of Seth, but he was afraid that Seth would regard him as an enemy after learning the truth.

Until he was ordered to deal with Seth.

He was confused, he couldn't control himself.He could only watch as he begged Seth to take him into the game.

He knew where Seth usually kept the controls.So without even a question, he killed Seth.

Seth stared into his eyes until his body fell.

"You are not... Miao Nan..."

These were the last words Seth left before his death, but they stimulated the body of the bionic man like an electric current.He felt that countless nerves in his mind were cracking, every piece of memory seemed to have edges and corners, and his skin was cut open, revealing the terrifying and inhuman appearance inside him.

In the end, the bionic man could only cut open the back of Seth's head as quickly as possible with trembling hands, and extract all of Seth's memories into the chip he brought.

He disguised himself as Seth and went back to Seth's place - he hadn't figured out what to do.

Then, he saw the potted flower.

...It turns out that the emotion of "Miao Nan" is not meaningless.

Unfortunately, it all came too late and too unluckily.
