Editing of famous scenes from the anime, including the opening of the Starburst Air Strike

"It's a pity... In this broken world, there is still too little he can do."

"It's not his fault. It's the human race that is to blame. Under this worldview, humans are too weak... They are so weak that they may be blown away at any time."

As he spoke, Jiraiya touched the head of Uzumaki Naruto beside him.

I think every normal person would want to do better, but in this sick world, it is too difficult to do better.

And Hubie, in the high-energy review, after truly feeling Rick's emotions, seemed to feel something and his pupils couldn't stop dilating.

The audience who saw this scene could understand for a moment why Rick got angry.

However, there are also people who cannot understand.

He is usually such a rational person, how could he get so angry over a simple sentence?

That’s right, after seeing this scene, Hikigaya Hachiman always felt that something was wrong for a moment.

As a rational monster, Hikigaya Hachiman could understand very well why these rational people went crazy, and he was also clear about their motives. Perhaps it was because of too long of oppression, or perhaps there were other reasons.

It broke out due to many reasons.

However, from the beginning to the end, if it is the Ex-Machina who is talking about 2, it shouldn't be so simple.

As Ex-Machinas, they will neither kill humans innocently nor treat humans as food like the Dwarves, nor treat humans as toys like the Flügels. If they detect that there is no harm, the Ex-Machinas will never harm humans.

So... for such an Ex-Machina, if we say that Riku was irritated, that would be too simplistic, and a little unreasonable.

The more he thought about it, the more Hikigaya Hachiman felt something was wrong.

Generally speaking, for a race like this, for the Hubie in front of us, as long as we talk to them nicely, we will be able to make use of them.

Thinking about how Rick had always ignored Hubie, Hikigaya Hachiman knew very well that the guy in front of him must have something he hadn't said.

What if there is a grudge between humans and Ex-Machinas...?

Hikigaya Hachiman seemed to remember something, and recalled the first time he saw this video, when he was a child, and Riku had that experience.

Could it be...

Hikigaya Hachiman finally caught the tail of that detail and began to review every little detail that happened between the two of them.

Back to the high-energy inventory, at this moment, Rick just pressed his body on Hubie, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

Thinking of the people who had died before once again, Rick's rationality was completely overwhelmed by his emotions. Perhaps only by venting them, he would feel better.

But even so, the dagger still did not pierce Hubie's body.

At this moment, Rick pressed Hubie's body to the ground, and roared in a choked voice:

"Do you know...how many people died because of you!"

“How many people were killed!”

“How many people…!”

"How many more people will be forced to death by me! How many more people will be forced to death by me!"

As he spoke, Rick's trembling body became more intense at this moment. In the eyes of the audience, it seemed as if Rick was going to stab Hubie directly with his dagger in the next moment.

In the video at this moment, Rick seemed to be completely unable to control his emotions. He kept yelling at the Ex-Machina girl in front of him, venting the emotions in his heart.

Of course, it was also because of this that Rick told others for the first time about his long-accumulated stress.

In an instant, this surging and overwhelming emotion that had been suppressed for a long time completely spread out at this moment.

In the eyes of the audience, Rick seemed to be completely out of control of himself, his consciousness had completely collapsed, and he had even lost the last bit of rationality.

Chapter 17 If you stab here, Hubie will die

After seeing this scene, Lai Yueang felt the same way.

After experiencing countless deaths, Lai Yueang once again returned to the original barbecue stall.

If there was someone who could listen to what was in his heart, Lei Yuongduo would like to chat with her for a whole day.

But this is just a fantasy.

As long as Lai Yueang tells others that he has the ability of [Return after Death], his heart will be crushed. Moreover, all those who hear the news will eventually die, and all the things they cherish will turn into nothingness in an instant.

So...Lai Yueang could only hide this ability in his own heart, and replay the ability again and again, bearing the pressure that no one could confide in.

If, if there is such a person who can hear his words, how happy it would be. Lai Yueang couldn't help but begin to envy this crying teenager. He didn't feel that she had lost control as other viewers felt. Instead, it was because she could listen that he felt...

Lai Yu'ang guessed that from now on they would become very tacit partners, and even...it would not be impossible for them to change the world directly or indirectly.

Back to the high-energy inventory, Rick's tired and bloodshot eyes turned slightly red, and then...

A teardrop as big as a bean appeared on Rick's tear gland.

Listening to Rick's angry words, feeling Rick's sadness, and seeing Rick's bean-sized tears, even though they were mechanical creatures, at this moment, seemed to understand something.

That's right, the Ex-Machina's Hubie's body shook violently, as if she understood something, her pupils couldn't help but dilate, looking at the boy in front of her, she felt... the anger that had been pent up in her heart, and the anger for killing their companions.

Perhaps, for them, for human beings... life is very precious. Hubie seemed to realize this at this moment, and he shuddered unconsciously.

The young man at this moment felt his own tears of sadness, which suddenly filled his eyes and made his vision blurry.

Even he himself didn't know how long it had been since he last cried.

A long time ago, after he was promoted as the new leader, his heart was constantly under the pressure of the entire human race. Whether it was survival, food, or childbirth, all things related to whether mankind could continue to survive, Rick had to make reasonable arrangements.

And the pressure he endured during this process was definitely not something a man of his age could bear.

But... he never told anyone else about it, because he knew very well that he was the leader of mankind. If even the leader could not withstand this kind of pressure, then the people below would panic.

So, he watched his companions leave time and time again. From the extreme sadness in the beginning to the fact that he could only pretend to be cold and cruel now, every time he made up his mind, it was not because he was getting closer and closer to the goal, peace, and ceasefire, but because it was a helpless choice.

Because if 999 people are not sacrificed, there will be 1,001 casualties, so...

Rick had already forced himself to become numb in this environment.

He didn't know when it started, but he had a vague feeling in his heart that the strongest and most rational part of his heart was slowly collapsing and falling under this environment.

The hope that he once had to lead the entire human race to survive began to become numb at some point. The will that he once had to fight and confront the world also disappeared again and again after witnessing the almost abnormal and unbridgeable combat power gap.

Now, he can only do this, helplessly venting his unwillingness and powerlessness.

Even though he was just a teenager, even though he was still young, he couldn't see any hope.

These are... these are what Rick has been accumulating in his heart, the pain engraved in Rick's heart, which he cannot confide in others and cannot reconcile with himself.

But... now, as if it were a joke, he was venting his anger on his enemies, on the Ex-Machinas who had killed his friends and family.

This is so ridiculous that even Rick himself thinks so.

I can't tell anyone about this, and can only tell my enemies. This is the most helpless sorrow in this chaotic world.

Such feelings broke down the psychological defenses of this young man, who was not very old to begin with, and he completely felt the collapse of his soul and his life.

but...

Rick overlooked one point, that is, at this moment, Hubie was no longer her enemy.

Perhaps it is because of this that Hubie tries his best to choose to understand Rick as much as possible.

Seeing this scene, Hubie slowly raised his hand and placed it on Rick's cheek.

The mechanical voice, which originally had no emotion at all, changed a little at this moment.

"Rick...you're crying..."

Feeling Rick's anger and unwillingness, Hubie slowly placed his slender jade finger on the teardrop, feeling the hot tears, trying to feel the anger of the boy in front of him as much as possible.

From his tightly closed eyes, Hubie wanted to understand, wanted to know more, the more this happened... Hubie's feelings for Rick continued to grow without her even noticing.

She herself didn't even know why her voice became intermittent, which was a fatal mistake for an Ex-Machina.

Because she is a machine and not controlled by emotions, she never makes mistakes. Like a soldier, she possesses powerful combat capabilities. But now she has become different. At least, from her words, one can feel that Hubie is no longer a simple machine, but has gained a bit of humanity.

However, this also indicates that she will change from a machine that never makes mistakes to a person who will make wrong choices because of emotions.

but....

At least now, Hubie's eyes were looking sincerely at Rick who was pressing him to the ground, feeling the bitterness in Rick's heart.

Then, from her eyes, the audience saw the subtle change.

That's right, at this moment, Hubie actually flashed a certain emotion unique to humans for a moment.

Although it disappeared quickly, many viewers noticed this scene, which made them clearly realize that Hubie in the future will not be a simple robot.

Back to the high-energy inventory video, Hubie's intermittent voice echoed in the house, not too loud or too quiet.

"If Hubie made Rick cry... then Hubie must have said something terrible..."

Hubie just placed her jade finger on the drop of hot tear.

At this moment, tears as big as beans slowly flowed down Hubie's jade arms.

And the desk lamp that had disappeared seemed to be rekindled, lighting up once again, and flickering continuously as if to announce something.

"Based on this speculation...I think Rick must really want to kill Hubie..."

At this moment, Hubie, while speaking, slowly opened the corner of his clothes. The video that seemed so marginal on normal days, just looked so sad at this moment.

Whether it was the audience or Rick, they all felt Hubie's intentions at this moment.

That’s right, in that barren place of Hubie, there actually hides a blue core wrapped in complex machinery, just like the one in Iron Man.

At this moment, Hubie slowly placed Rick's hand, which was holding the dagger, on top of his core.

At this moment, Hubie still had no expression on her face, but her voice became very gentle at this moment.

Even from her voice, there was no trace of resentment, only quietness and trust.

"If you stab here, Hubie will die..."

As he said this, Hubie's energy core slowly expanded, and a blue-white crystal appeared directly in front of Rick's eyes.

"........"

After hearing Hubie's gentle words, Rick's body couldn't stop shaking.

How he wanted to stab him, how he wanted to avenge his friend.

But...if that's the case, he will become the person he hates the most.

Moreover, he really didn't expect that the Mecha girl in front of him would actually say such unexpected words for him and directly leave death to him.

Surprisingly...there would be such a development.

For a moment, Rick was a little hesitant, with rationality and emotion constantly wandering in his mind.

Although at this moment, Rick was indeed overwhelmed by surging emotions.

But at this moment, Rick's sanity seemed to be completely overwhelmed.

Seeing the Ex-Machina girl in front of him exposing her core, Riku's trembling body froze for several seconds.

The conflict in Rick's heart became more and more intense. Perhaps even he himself didn't know what he wanted.

But...at the same time, Hubie wrapped Rick's hand with his own little hand.

As if soothing Rick's fragile heart, she continued to comfort a long-injured child with her gentle voice.

This time, Hubie's voice seemed to be endowed with a soul, displaying a clear and ethereal voice, as clear and reassuring as solidified autumn water, but... at the same time, one could sense a sense of sadness from that tone.

Hubie slowly put his other hand on Rick's hand, as if begging for something, with a look full of determination.

"Just stab here..."

At this moment, Hubie placed the Rick dagger on his core and said softly:

"Hubby will die..."

"die?"

At this moment, Hubie suddenly realized that he was actually using human words to describe himself.

I am just a machine, and using the word death to describe myself is not accurate enough.

Although I don’t know why I was assimilated by humans, nor do I know when I began to be assimilated by humans.

but....

Hubie, who had difficulty expressing his emotions in the past, now directly expressed his thoughts.
