Narcissus Self-Saving System

Ever since Xi Nan had a doubt in his heart that day, he opened the golden finger, found the system to hack into the public security system, and found the file of Lu Qing's death case back then.

After reading the dossier in detail, Xi Nan understood what happened.

The knife in Lu Qing's abdomen didn't hurt any vital parts. He died of excessive blood loss, and the knife cut the abdominal artery.If he had been rescued in time, he could have survived.

Robots also have fingerprints.In order to prevent the robot from leaving any evidence when it commits a crime according to the owner's instructions.

The dagger was inserted into Lu Qing's abdomen, and it was not pulled out until he died.And on the handle of the knife, there were Kane's fingerprints.

In addition, based on the trajectory of the murder, the position of the edge of the knife, and the situation in which the knife penetrated from top to bottom, it can be inferred that Kane stabbed the knife into Lu Qing's abdomen while holding the handle of the knife with four fingers, with his thumb against the top of the handle.

Lu Qing died in the bedroom, the surrounding beds were in a mess, chairs were overturned, many cups were broken, and even a steel frame fell over.Coupled with the analysis of some clothing fibers on the ground, the two had a fight first.

If Kane is a real person, then it is almost certain that Kane is the murderer.He argued and fought with Lu Qing, and in the end Lu Qing lost to him and was stabbed in the abdomen by him with a knife.And Kane didn't call an ambulance in time, and died of light blood loss on landing.

But Kane is a robot, and some people still don't believe that he can kill people.There is also a small group of people who have panicked—is the robot conscious?They may betray human beings, or even harm human beings?

For the sake of brand reputation, XS insisted that the murderer must not be Kane.The police sued XS Company based on the evidence, and XS Company fought hard.

After re-investigation and numerous trials, Kane was acquitted, and XS finally won.

XS Company gave several extremely important pieces of evidence: first, the hand suspected of being stabbed by Kane had traces of being heavily pinched with fingers. The skin of the N6 generation robot was fairly tough, but at that time Kane’s hand , and the skin at the tiger's mouth was pinched, and it was still pinched by two hands.After fingerprint inspection, it was Lu Qing's fingerprint.Moreover, Lu Qing's hands had a lot of blood.

Therefore, according to the XS statement, it should be that Lu Qing wants to commit suicide, and Kane follows the three laws of robotics, and must rescue people when they are in danger.So Kane took the knife by the handle.

But at this time, Lu Qing simply grabbed the hand holding the knife with both hands, held the handle of the knife indirectly, and pushed the tip of the knife back into his abdomen.So even though the knife was in Kane's hands, it was considered Lu Qing's suicide.Because of this, Lu Qing's hands, together with Kane's holding the knife, were stained with a large amount of spurted blood.Such inference is logical.

The second evidence is that when Lu Qing died, he was smiling.He was in great pain, and death was a relief for him, so he smiled, not the surprise and hatred that Kane killed him.

The third piece of evidence, of course, is the results of a series of inspections and tests on Kane. He conforms to all the specifications of the robot group, does not have self-awareness, and after many tests, he strictly abides by the three laws of robots. .

The fourth piece of evidence is aimed at a point that many people doubt—that is, after Lu Qing lost blood, since Kane should abide by the three laws, why didn't he call the ambulance through the microphone in his ear in time, and why didn't he answer the question? Lu lightly implements any first aid measures.

Regarding this point, the evidence given by XS is that Kane ran out of battery at that time and entered a dormant state.The time he sleeps, the program on his chip is recorded.He happened to be out of battery, although this is too coincidental, but the procedure is recorded.

Finally, there are two crucial pieces of evidence, not from XS Company, but from Lu Qing's younger brother Lu Yu.

——Lu Yu presented his elder brother Lu Qing's suicide note in court, expressing that he had been depressed for a long time and had suicidal tendencies.In addition, Lu Yu also submitted a hospital report. There were multiple cuts on Lu Qing's wrists and neck, which were all caused by himself. It seemed that he had tried to commit suicide many times.

Therefore, after many trials, Lu Qing was considered to have committed suicide, and Kane was not guilty. XS still apologized to the public, saying that they will enhance the battery life, and it does not bear any responsibility.

But now, looking at Kane in front of him, Xi Nan wanted to ask two things. First, was it really Lu Qing who held his hand holding the knife with both hands and inserted the knife into his abdomen?Second, did Kane really have to go into sleep mode because he ran out of battery, so he didn't rescue him in time and call an ambulance?

The night was dark.Neon shines.

On the side, Lu Yu stood up suddenly, staring at Xi Nan with dark pupils: "When did you get so close to him? Have you become the same kind again, what are you going to talk about behind my back?"

Xi Nan was slightly displeased. "Why are you angry with me?"

Lu Yu frowned, sat down again, and faced Kane. "Speak directly if you have something to say."

Kane walked in front of Xi Nan, but raised his forehead to look at him, then held his hand, and looked carefully at the back of his hand.

Lu Yu immediately jumped up from the sofa, pulled Xi Nan back, and said to Kane, "What are you doing?"

Kane only asked Xi Nan: "The wound on your forehead and your hand, was it done by Lu Yu?"

Xi Nanxin said no, it was because he fell hard on the mountain that day.

However, Lu Yu used to slash himself with a knife at the beginning, so Xi Nan didn't speak, just waiting for Kane to speak.

Lu Yu also looked at Kane thoughtfully, waiting for him to reply.

Kane slowly sat on the sofa opposite Lu Yu, then looked at Lu Yu and said, "Since you really like Ai Ling, you have indeed brought him back to life. Then please treat him well, don't use him as a tool, don't borrow In the name of love, he punched, kicked and hurt him wantonly. I don't want you to end up like your brother. I say this for your own good. "

Lu Yu's fists were immediately clenched, and his palms were bleeding from his pinch.His eye sockets became red, and he was like an angry lion, but the lion seemed to be walking on the edge of a cliff, he was angry, but he didn't know what to do, and at the same time he was desperate.He really didn't know what to do.

After a while, Lu Yu opened his mouth, gritted his teeth, and asked with blood in every word: "So...you really killed him."

Before Kane could answer, Lu Yu jumped up angrily again, stepped forward and grabbed Kane's skirt. "It was me, I handed over my brother's suicide note, and I was the one who testified in court for you. It was also I who did my best to help XS investigate and collect evidence. I even deduced the process of brother's suicide. Because I believe in you. I believe so much You! You did not sleep for a long time at that time, so I actually believe that you did just sleep, you—”

"I believe you, I helped you get rid of the crime. I swore in court that it was impossible for you to kill my brother. Now you... Kane, you slapped me hard!"

Kane glanced at Kane flatly and smiled. "You don't know, even the suicide note was forged by me. I have all your brother's data, including his handwriting, and I can easily imitate it."

After hearing this, Lu Yu punched Kane angrily, until he rolled off the sofa and fell to the ground.

Lu Yu was so anxious that he casually grabbed the tablet on the table next to him and was about to throw it at Kane's head.

Xi Nan stepped forward and hugged him desperately.

Lu Yu roared: "Ai Ling, let me go! He killed my brother! I still treat him as a family member! I am an idiot! I betrayed my brother!"

Xi Nan didn't let go, and hugged him fiercely when he was about to move forward, so that the two of them both fell down out of inertia.

Xi Nan hugged Lu Yu and smashed it to the ground.Lu Yu fell on Xi Nan's body, but he was not injured, but Xi Nan's back and arms were cut all over by the broken glass of the tea table.

Now Xi Nan felt pain in many parts of his body, and he couldn't help but "hiss" immediately.

Only then did Lu Yu calm down, and quickly helped him up.

After a while, Kane sat silently aside.Lu Yu pulled Xi Nan to sit under the lamp. He held tweezers in one hand and high-grade adhesive in the other, and slowly helped Xi Nan pick out the glass that had sunk into his skin. After picking out the glass fragments, he helped him glue the wound .

Every time Lu Yu took out a fragment, Xi Nan frowned and hummed.In the end, Xi Nan was fine, but Lu Yu's tears fell.

Seeing this, Xi Nan was a little speechless.In fact, he didn't feel much pain.Because his senses are not so sharp now.

But Lu Yu really felt distressed.Coupled with the thought of his brother and Kane, he was in an extremely bad mood, and he couldn't hold back his tears.

"Okay, okay. I didn't cry, why are you crying?" Xi Nan glanced at him, "I'm fine. Just don't be so impulsive in the future."

"I'll help you rebuild your body during this time," Lu Yu said.

"It doesn't matter. With this advanced adhesive specially for robots, I will be fine soon." Xi Nan comforted Lu Yu instead.

It took another two hours before Lu Yu healed Xi Nan's wound.Then he went to get the broom and cleaned the ground little by little.

The office fell silent for a while.

After a while, Kane said slowly: "I didn't kill Lu Qing. I just refused to save him."

After saying this, the huge office fell into a long silence.

Then there was a rustling sound, and Xi Nan looked up, only to find that Kane had taken off his shirt without hesitation.

This time, Xi Nan discovered to his horror that there were scars all over his body.

These should be wounds caused by knives, needles, etc., but he did not use high-grade adhesives, but stitched the wounds with thread. Upon closer inspection, there are smaller knife carvings next to each wound. A mark, or some kind of steel seal is directly stamped on it, and the content of the record is probably a specific time.

Finally, the position of his abdomen, which is consistent with Lu Qing's fatal injury, also has traces of being stabbed by a knife.

Kane just sat down and said: "One year, 365 days, I received 547 dollars. Sometimes Lu Qing is doing pain stimulation experiments, sometimes he just vents on me. Until now, I have I didn’t repair these scars, because I didn’t want to forget these shames. As for the extraordinary technology, they didn’t help me get rid of it, because they felt that these scars were medals instead, and Peugeot’s idea might become a medal of reality.”

Seeing Lu Yu's expression, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Kane's mouth.Then he said: "I became conscious in the middle of the experiment. At that time, Lu Qing was carving letters on my back. Seeing that I still didn't respond, he seemed a little surprised. He said, it shouldn't be like this. According to his calculations, I should have come back to life that day. In order to test me, he slashed me a few more times. Seeing that I still didn't respond, he slashed his wrist a few times and told me that he would hurt. He wanted me to Feel the same as him."

At this time, Xi Nan remembered something.That was when he was swimming with Lu Yu, Lu Yu let him drown, and seeing that he didn't respond, he sank into the water and couldn't get out.In the end, it was Xi Nan who saved him.But he said to Xi Nan viciously, hoping that he would remember what it was like to drown himself.

Sure enough, the two brothers had the same problem.

Xi Nan couldn't help thinking.

Kane closed his eyes, frowned for a while, and then said: "At that time, I reacted for a while and realized what he wanted to do—he wanted me to come alive, let me know what 'love' is, let me fall in love with him .”

Speaking of this, Kane smiled, with a very mocking smile, "Of course I know what love is. On this point, I think I know better than him. But he wants me to love him? He's dreaming."

"Of course, when I first woke up, I didn't think so. I didn't hate him at that time. I just recalled everything about him to me. I was very scared. I was really scared of him. I was too scared, so I I dare not let him know that I am conscious. His mind is too abnormal. I am afraid that if I have a normal human reaction, he will deal with me even more severely. If I keep pretending that I have no reaction, over time, he will always give up. At that time, I will decide what to do according to the situation.”

"I was right. Sure enough, I often heard him hurt me and say to me later - when I wake up, I will find that pain is also a kind of pleasure, and he will take me to realize that there is heaven on the one hand and hell on the other. Feeling. He even lit the candle and put it in..."

Kane didn't continue when he said this, "I won't say much about that kind of thing, and you can understand it if you think about it. But I don't really understand what's going on with Lu Qing. He seems to be both a sadist and a masochist. He can I don't get pleasure from this kind of thing, I just get scared. Of course I can't let him know that I'm conscious."

"Finally, it was the day of his death. He stabbed me with a dagger first, and saw that I still didn't respond. Then he stabbed himself with a knife. Although I became conscious, although I hated him and was afraid of him, those The program instructions are still there. The three laws of robotics made me react subconsciously. I snatched the knife from his hand and tried to save him. But the moment after I took the knife, looking at his appearance, I gave him When I had the killing intent, I held the knife in my hand, but I didn’t do it. Because I was still pretending. If I failed to kill him, but would expose my conscious things, I can’t imagine how he would deal with me after that .”

"At this time, Lu Qing seemed to see something. He smiled and asked me if I wanted to kill him. Then he took my hand with both hands and stabbed the knife into his abdomen. He precisely avoided the vital part, No organs were injured. Maybe he didn't really want to die. But I don't know."

Kane closed his eyes a second time.This time, after a longer time, he opened his eyes again and said: "The First Law of Robots: A robot must not injure a human being, or do nothing while seeing a human being in danger. At that time, my consciousness But it violated the program instructions and violated the first-law. I chose to stand by and watch him bleed to death."

"He was going to die, but he actually looked at me and smiled. At that time, Lu Qing, a lunatic, laughed happily. He said, I didn't save him, I violated the law of robots, which means that I came back to life, I Conscious. He said that his experiment was finally successful. Before he died, the last sentence he asked me was——Since I am alive, will I love him?"

Having said that, Kane stopped talking, probably because he had finished telling the story he wanted to tell.

Kane's expression can be said to be very calm from the beginning to the end, and he even tried to downplay the process as much as possible.

But Xi Nan knew that what happened must be thrilling.

Xi Nan couldn't help frowning, and finally picked up Kane's shirt and coat, and walked over to help him put them on.

Kane dressed again as if those scars never existed.

Xi Nan's action seemed to stimulate a certain nerve in Lu Yu, so that he stared at Xi Nan for a long time, with an expression that was too secretive.

After a while, Lu Yu looked at Kane and said again: "Then how did you answer him? He had a smile on his face before he died. I thought it was he who finally succeeded in committing suicide and was relieved from the pain." Smile. Now it seems... You answered what he wanted to hear, and you said you loved him?"

Kane said: "I didn't answer him at all. In fact, this question doesn't need to be answered at all. If I love him, why don't I watch him die?"

Lu Yu said after a while, "That's probably true."

Kane: "..."

Xi Nan: "..."

Sure enough, the madman's brain circuit can only be understood by his genetically similar younger brother.

Lu Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, as if he wanted to relieve the stiff facial nerves.He then asked Kane: "Have you ever regretted it?"

Kane shook his head without hesitation. "When I watched him die, I hacked into his tablet, imitated his notes, wrote a suicide note on the tablet, and saved it as a picture. I also modified the system time to make you think that the suicide note was written before he died. I want Get rid of the crime for yourself. If I want to say something I regret...it is that I didn't handle this matter well, making you an orphan completely, and making you have to testify for me. Now, you have to face Yes, it was the fact that I caused your brother to die."

Kane laughed at himself: "So, what's the benefit of being alive? Being alive means having feelings. If you have feelings, people will be selfish, have weaknesses, and become cowards... Extraordinary Technology is using this to blackmail me .If I don't do something for them, they'll tell you the truth about that. I don't want you to know the truth. So I'm here to steal your technology."

Lu Yu asked him: "Are you afraid that I will be sad if you don't tell me?"

Kane mocked: "No. It's just that your power is stronger than theirs. It's better to be friends with you than to be enemies. If you know the truth, you will definitely deal with me. After weighing the benefits, I choose to hide it from you Of course, since you have guessed everything, I don’t have to hide it from you. In short, selfishness is the root of human nature. So tell me, what good is it to come back to life and become a human?”

I don't know if it was too much stimulation overnight, but Lu Yu's expression at the moment is actually very calm.

He called, called the security guards, and asked them to take Kane to the lounge where he lived before, take away the access control card in his hand, and make a system that automatically The function of calling the police, and then let the security guard him in prison.

By the time the security guard went upstairs, Lu Yu had already gone straight to the lounge behind the office.

Xi Nan waited for the security guards to come up and take Kane away before leaving.Before leaving, he and Kane looked at each other and said, "You said that to Lu Yu just now, are you being stubborn?"

Kane didn't speak, Xi Nan raised his eyebrows: "Tsundere attribute?"

Kane: "..."

When Xi Nan opened the door and entered the lounge, he found that there was no sign of Lu Yu in the room.

He heard the sound of water in the bathroom, and went to the bathroom to see that Lu Yu sat in the bathtub to take a bath without taking off his clothes.

There was wine by the bathtub, and Lu Yu's face was a little flushed, it seemed that he had already drunk several large glasses.

To say that this kid has a really good figure, with a strong and powerful body wrapped in translucent wet clothes, he is not very old, but he is full of masculine aggression.At this time, he is still a little sad and decadent, and his melancholy appearance has eliminated all those publicity and bad qualities, which makes people feel a little distressed.

Lu Yu raised his eyelids and looked at Xi Nan with deep eyes. "he's gone?"

"Yeah. The security guards have taken a good look at him. Don't worry." Xi Nan replied.

Xi Nan thought about it, Lu Yu might want to be alone now, so he said: "You take a bath first. But remember to take off your wet clothes. I'll go and prepare something for you to eat."

After finishing speaking, just as he turned to leave, Xi Nan's wrist was suddenly grabbed.

At the beginning, Lu Yu's strength was very light, but then he pressed hard, pinching Xi Nan almost painfully.

Because of the injury just now, Xi Nan was wearing a high-grade shirt that was so light that he could hardly feel it on his skin.

Under the light at this moment, the shirt was translucent. Lu Yu could see that under the action of the high-grade adhesive, those wounds had been quickly closed, but thin scars were still left.

So Lu Yu asked him: "Are you still in pain?"

Xi Nan looked back and met his eyes, then shook his head. "It doesn't hurt anymore. Don't worry about me."

Lu Yu's eyes were red, and he paused for a while before saying, "If my brother and I... are very similar, what should I do?"

Xi Nan didn't answer, and Lu Yu said again: "I just think your emotions belong to me alone. Joy, pleasure... including pain. I will feel that watching you cry for me will make me feel special. satisfy."

Xi Nan: "..."

Lu Yu said: "As long as I think that you are in pain because of me, or even cry out in pain, I will reach the extreme. I want to use various methods to deal with you, and I want your body to come alive. situation, completely mastered by me... the pleasure drives me crazy."

"Ai Ling, as long as I think of such a day, I will be so happy. Just imagine, what is the point of completely controlling a dead thing? Bringing this dead thing back to life, controlling his body, and even his consciousness, is the real Land, thorough possession. You are a dead thing, but you live because of me. You have your own consciousness, but all the consciousness and will are finally controlled by me... That feeling... makes my pores stand up It makes me shudder. That's the pinnacle of happiness."

Xi Nan: "..."

——Don't talk about it, let's talk about it, it's restricted.

Lu Yu stared at Xi Nan and asked, "What if I want to do that too?"

Xi Nan replied calmly: "Then you just think about it. It's not a crime to make up your mind."

Lu Yu: "..."

Lu Yu smiled almost helplessly: "You always make me happy."

Xi Nan replied calmly: "If it's just like that, what you like is not me, but the pleasure of controlling another person from body to mind. You are acting out of desire for control and abuse. Kane is right, you That kind of brother is not called love."

Lu Yu shook his head, and then said with certainty: "But my desire is only for you. Just like my brother is normal in front of others, only for Kane. Of course this is love."

Now Xi Nan has nothing to say.

Lu Yu's palm slid down, turned to touch Xi Nan's palm, and clasped his fingers tightly.

He looked at Xi Nan with a sad look. "Of course, I know this kind of love is a little sick, a little abnormal."

Xi Nanxin said it was not a little bit, but very much.

Then Xi Nan heard Lu Yu ask: "My brother is a monster, isn't he? I don't make excuses for the environment I grew up in. I was born with something abnormal in my genes. I am a monster just like my brother... yes wrong?"
