I'm not Yingjie

"I don't know. I'll have to ask him."

"He won't tell us."

"That's right...it's almost time for me to leave the paradise of the past." Raven lowered his head and said in a complicated tone, "I have a new job. Goodbye, Miss."

A fake space and fake people. Lin knew that his feelings and himself were not real, but just someone's projection.

But like the real guy, he knew what he was doing from the beginning to the end.

Raven pulled at his hood.

I haven't had time to help him, nor have I had time to collect my reward.

Chapter 20 Pink-haired girl

"Good morning, children. The temperature in the area today is between 20 and 23 degrees. The weather is sunny and suitable for playing outside. Next is the morning exercise time. Please follow me to do stretching exercises..."

Prometheus grabbed Lin's hands under his cold gaze and began to do morning exercises imitating the movements of the host on TV.

"One, two, three, four..." The gray-haired girl with a ponytail treated Lin like a puppet, dancing her hands and feet.

"Prometheus."

"Two, two, three, four..." She spun Lin around.

"open."

"three two……"

The people in the monitoring room were holding a bowl of noodles and reading the internal network posts of the Fire Chaser Moth. One of them looked at the picture on the screen, slurped the noodles and asked, "Shouldn't we worry about them?"

"It's none of our business what he does with that robot." Another person waved his hand impatiently, "We just need to keep an eye on him and don't let him leave the city."

"That's right." The man who spoke first laughed. "It's strange. Didn't this person say he never interacted with others? What's going on with this robot girl? And I heard that he was very close to Alicia."

"You uploaded it on the intranet yourself. It's not like we haven't seen people who appear to be righteous on the surface but actually mess around behind the scenes. Didn't you hear what the Speaker said? It was because of the equipment from the R&D department that you got so much credit, and you even killed the minister."

"Oh, that."

After doing meaningless morning exercises, Prometheus pushed Lin for a walk in the garden outside to breathe fresh air.

The flowers are gorgeous and colorful, and they look beautiful in the flower garden.

"Lin, I'm blocked from accessing the intranet and cannot contact Dr. Mei. I can't break into the Fire Moth's firewall with my computing power alone." The girl mechanically reported to Lin her useless efforts over the past month. This was also what Lin asked her to do. "Now you are no longer a member of the Fire Moth."

Prometheus is the artificial intelligence of the system that controls Lin. Not granting her access to the Fire Moth is equivalent to not recognizing that Lin is still a soldier of the Fire Moth.

Lin twisted his neck. He had already begun to fight for control with the part below his neck: "Where is the monitoring room?"

Data flowed through her red eyes as she looked back at the monitoring room through the monitoring equipment: "The equipment in the monitoring room has been modified. They can't hear our conversation correctly."

"……Um."

There was only so much Lin could do.

His imprisonment here was a mutual compromise between both parties in power, but this did not mean that the group that sent out the killers would not make some small moves in private. He had to be vigilant himself.

At most he still has four years to live, and Lin doesn't plan to spend the rest of those four years paralyzed here, so he has to recover more actively. Even if he dies in the next collapse, it is better than dying here.

and……

'Lin, you are my hope.'

Lin clenched his teeth and sank his consciousness into his body, but it was like a stone or an ocean, with no response.

This cannot be restored by replacing body components. The main reason why consciousness is at odds with the body is consciousness, so if you want to restore it, you can only start from consciousness itself.

He can't lose.

Just like he said every time he faced Honkai, he couldn't lose even once.

Prometheus looked at Lin who was trying to control her body in the wheelchair. She turned her head and looked at the flower bed beside her. She walked over and picked a lavender peony and put it on her head.

"Lin, look."

Lin raised his head and glanced at her as she stretched out her arms to hold the flower to prevent it from falling, then he was too lazy to speak again and continued trying.

Prometheus tilted her head, and the peony flowers gurgled and fell from her head to the ground.

She squatted down, picked up the flower, dusted it off, looked at Lin, and then looked at the flower in her hand.

Then he raised his hand and inserted it into the gap of his helmet.

"..."

"..."

After Lin and Prometheus looked at each other in silence for a while, he asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to go out." Prometheus thought for a moment and added, "I want to go out with Lin."

Lin refused sternly: "I don't have time."

Prometheus immediately covered his head with his hands and searched the database: "Reviewing Lin's schedule...it has been confirmed that he did not do anything between 7 and 11 in the past month. It is determined that Lin is lying."

"You are an artificial intelligence and should obey my orders."

The girl shook her head. "Rejected. Dr. Mei and Dr. Weiwei have certified me as a cybernetic life form. They claim that I have human rights and can independently judge whether Lin's orders should be carried out."

Lin's eyes became more gloomy: "Reject, you have no evidence to prove that Mei and Wei Li said such a thing."

"Rejected. Lin has violated the Human Rights Act and cannot ask me to produce evidence."

"A refusal, when you can't prove yourself, doesn't meet the conditions of the human rights law."

"turn down……"

……

“Is that a cosplay?”

"Yeah, look at that girl's pupils, she must be wearing colored contact lenses."

Lin began to wonder if he had given Prometheus too much authority.

The fact that a paralyzed person in a wheelchair wearing a helmet is pushed down the street by artificial intelligence to an amusement park is probably even more outrageous than what is reported in the news.

Prometheus changed into a set of long-sleeved trousers that could cover her joints, and changed Lin into a set of casual clothes, but he did not take off his helmet.

She slowly pushed Lin past the talking crowd and headed towards the amusement park.

This city was where Lin and Hun came last time for vacation to look for clues about the poisonous pupa, so when Lin saw the familiar amusement park, he turned his head to look at Prometheus.

"Prometheus, go back immediately."

"Lin, I haven't had a rest all year round."

"I've rested. I was here a month ago."

"I haven't had a day off all year round."

"..."

Lin no longer understood the brain circuits of artificial intelligence... no, it should be called electronic circuits. He remembered that this was not what he taught her at the beginning. Why is it that now that the degree of anthropomorphism has increased, her personality has become completely different from him?

While Lin struggled in vain, Prometheus bought the ticket and pushed Lin into the amusement park in the surprised look of the ticket inspector.

She pushed Lin to a corner and pointed to an ice cream stand in the distance: "I'm going to buy some ice cream."

"Don't……"

Before Lin could speak, Prometheus ran away, leaving Lin alone in the corner.

"..."

He sighed and could only look at the passers-by. Families walking together passed by him, and their laughter echoed in his ears.

At this time, what is the situation inside the Fire Moth like? Is it tense? Or is it undercurrent?

This family-friendly amusement park is full of joy. Are those people at the headquarters base arguing endlessly because of this peaceful scene?

"Um... hello... are you having any trouble?"

A timid child's voice sounded beside his ears. Lin turned his head and saw a head of pink hair.

"Have you... gotten separated from your family? Wait a minute... I can ask my sister to help you find them..."

Her pink pupils looked at the azure viewing window with some fear.

Chapter 21: The Troublesome Sister

Lost someone? Of course, the person who "lost" him was leaving him to buy ice cream.

“…She’s buying ice cream.”

"Oh..." Realizing that she was meddling in other people's business, the pink-haired little girl looked at her toes at a loss.

Lin said nothing more and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, he opened his eyes again and looked at the little girl who was still there.

"...Where's your sister?"

"what?"

Lin raised his voice: "Why hasn't your sister come yet?"

The little girl was obviously a little nervous. She crossed her fingers and whispered, "She told me to wait here and she would be back in a while."

"how long."

"three minutes."

Lin glanced at the time sign standing by the roadside. It had been ten minutes since they had spoken. Even Prometheus was lining up to buy ice cream, but the sister the little girl mentioned hadn't arrived yet.

be lost?

Of course Lin didn't plan to take her to find her sister. That kind of stupid behavior that only happened in TV dramas was wrong. It would be better for her to stay where she was and wait for her sister to come find her. If she didn't come for too long, she could go to the broadcasting room.

"What's your name?" Lin asked.

"bell."

"My name is Lin."

"what?"

The pronunciations of "Ling" and "Lin" in the common language are similar, which surprised Ling. It was such a coincidence.

Lin's initiative to talk eased the atmosphere a lot, and Lin's affinity for children for some reason also played a role. Ling's expression changed from nervous at the beginning to calm.

"Lin...Brother, why are you wearing a helmet?" Ling felt that Lin was not old enough to be called brother, so she asked a key question right away.

“I’m playing cosplay.”

"Then why are you in a wheelchair?"

"Because I need a wheelchair."

Ling realized that she had asked the wrong question and quickly apologized: "S-Sorry..."

"It's okay." Lin shook his head calmly.

It can be seen that Ling is an introvert, but she has the courage to talk to Lin, who has suspicious looks all over his body, and ask him if he needs help. She is a very kind girl.

"Hey, Brother Lin doesn't seem as scary as he looks." Without waiting for Lin's scolding, Ling rubbed the back of her head innocently, "Who did Brother Lin come to the amusement park with?"

“……” This really made Lin Wen silent.

Who is Prometheus to him?

He couldn't answer directly that it was artificial intelligence, but he and Prometheus were not friends either. Overall, it was more like...

Lin said calmly: "Sister."

"Does Brother Lin have a sister too?"

"Well, a not very sensible one..." Lin stopped here, because he saw Prometheus in the queue turned his head 180 degrees and turned his gaze directly towards him when he said the word "sister".

Fortunately, there was no one behind her and no one noticed this horrifying scene.

…Should I praise her for still paying attention to her own situation?

"Hmm? Is that Brother Lin's sister? She looks so cute." Seeing that Lin didn't speak for a long time, Ling looked in the direction of his helmet. Prometheus just turned his head back and didn't let Ling notice.
