Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 239 The Meaning of Life
After that day, Ren Ou disappeared.

After Dr. Lance's death, the half-android never moved again.

As for the awakened bionic humans, they have also been effectively controlled.

Dr. Aisha also demonstrated extraordinary leadership during the city's reconstruction.

With her expertise and wisdom, she developed a detailed reconstruction plan and led everyone to implement it efficiently.

In order to thank Dr. Aisha for her contribution, someone proposed that she be the leader of New Kolin City.

Dr. Aisha accepted the proposal and expressed her willingness to contribute her wisdom to the development of the city.

Under the leadership of Dr. Aisha, New Kolin City began to get back on track.

Not only does she have to rebuild the city, but she also has to tackle the most important problem of all – the awakening of androids.

The unrest seemed to be over, but the devastation in New Kolin City would take time to repair.

The streets were also filled with ruins after the battle, with broken building wreckage and charred vehicles everywhere.

But with this chaos came new beginnings.

Dr. Aisha stood on a high point in the city, overlooking the tragic scene.

She was surrounded by some androids who had not yet completely eliminated their hostility, but at this moment there was no trace of retreat in her eyes.

After this turmoil, she realized that she had the responsibility of taking over the entire city.

Li Daosheng, Mo Shi and Yang Tianyan searched everywhere for Ren Ou. Mo Shi could no longer use the power of the Book of Fate. He could no longer bear it in this world.

When can I leave?

The people from [Season 5] had already left, and until the end, Li Daosheng and others did not know whether the theme of Kui's fortune book was in opposition to Ren Ou.

Because judging from the results, the answer no longer matters.

That Elsa, Dr. Elsa... is the third half-bionic human, an assistant created by Dr. Lance after the big explosion.

Now, the new leader took a deep breath and turned to face the androids who were still confused.

"We can no longer allow this world to fall into chaos. We must coexist with humans and find our own way of survival."

Her voice was calm and powerful, reaching the "ears" of every android.

However, it is not easy for awakened androids to get along with this world.

They are no longer simple machines, but have self-awareness and emotions, and face many confusions and challenges.

Some androids gathered together and began to think about their future.

Although they have self-awareness, they still know too little about the human world.

They don't know how to get along with them or where to go.

Under the organization of Dr. Aisha, the bionic people began to try to communicate with humans.

However, human trust in bionic people cannot be rebuilt overnight.

Some humans are full of fear and hostility towards androids, believing them to be dangerous.

In order to eliminate human doubts, bionic people can only prove themselves through practical actions.

One of them is to actively participate in the reconstruction of the city and help people repair damaged buildings.

We can only hope that in this process, the relationship between bionic people and humans will slowly change.

But in this world, it is impossible for everyone to have the same ideas.

Some extreme human groups believe that androids are a threat to humanity, and they organize themselves to attack them. Upon learning of this, Dr. Aisha decides to take tough measures.

She led a group of loyal androids and launched a fierce battle against those extremist groups.

During the battle, the bionic people showed strong fighting ability and quickly repelled the extremist group.

This battle made humans more clearly aware of the strength of androids, and also made those who were originally kind or hostile to androids begin to re-examine them.

The problem has not been completely solved.

The large-scale awakening of bionic people is only causing more and more concerns among humans.

They are worried that bionic people will take away human jobs and use their powers to harm humans.

These problems...need to be handled by Dr. Aisha, who stands between the androids and humans.

at last……

Li Daosheng found Ren Ou in a Gobi desert far away from the ruins of Lan Base.

He sat alone on the edge of the cliff, enjoying the breeze, with two mounds of earth behind him.

As if knowing that Li Daosheng had arrived, Ren Ou suddenly spoke:
"Before, I was wondering who I really am. I'm neither a complete android nor a pure human. Where do I belong? Or, in other words, what is the meaning of my existence?"

Li Daosheng nodded slightly, he understood Ren Ou's confusion.

Most people simply cannot empathize with what Ren Ou has experienced.

But maybe... Li Daosheng could understand a little bit, because he didn't even have his own world...

"I used to think that Dr. Lance was my father. I looked up to him and regarded him as the greatest man..."

Ren Ou was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Only when I saw him facing death did I truly understand... no matter who I am, the meaning of my existence cannot depend on others."

"Although he deceived me, I saw his final fear and attachment to life, which made me realize that life... itself is a miracle."

Li Daosheng nodded and said, "Life is a long journey. We will encounter all kinds of temptations, setbacks, and difficulties along the way. We may even lose ourselves, not knowing what we want or the meaning of our existence. But it is through these explorations and struggles that we can gradually understand ourselves and find the true direction we should take."

After reluctantly saying some words of comfort, Li Daosheng scratched his head and said, "I'm also looking in this direction."

Ren Ou nodded slightly, as if in agreement.

"Dr. Lance has kept that memory sealed away and hasn't revealed it to me. Perhaps he was worried that I would discover I was human, causing instability in the experiment. Perhaps... he was worried that the truth would be too cruel for my young self."

"You know what? When I was little, my biological father sold me to Dr. Lance in exchange for 30,000 credits. Those credits weren't even enough for him to buy a place to stay."

"It's okay." Li Daosheng is really not good at comforting people.

However, Ren Ou didn't need his comfort.

"I feel great now." Ren Ou looked at Li Daosheng, and a smile appeared on his face, which almost never had any expression.

"I am both human and machine. The things that humans tend to overlook are invaluable to machines."

"Anger, pity, betrayal, love, joy... all emotions considered normal by humans are... miraculous to machines."

“At this moment, I am living in such a miracle.”

Li Daosheng breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the shadow of a big door appeared behind the two of them.

"Let's go then."
