Evolution of a Girl

"Speaking of which, have you heard about the disappearance of refugees in Tokyo a while ago?"

"Eh, is there such a thing? I didn't see any news about it online."

"Hey, I have a friend who's a hacker. He's collected some amazing information..."

After the summer vacation, school started.

Students always like to discuss some major events, such as wars or conspiracies.

This is true even in places like libraries.

Of course, they didn't just talk, but instead set up a small chat room of their own.

Otherwise they would have been dealt with by the librarian long ago.

"Amane-chan."

Horikawa Tokimi sat down next to Tianyin hesitantly.

"Hi."

After hearing Tianyin's answer, Horikawa Tokimi sat down nervously.

She was wearing a small camisole with a collar around her neck that was particularly noticeable.

But she couldn't cover it because it was her eyes, ears and mouth.

The club has a mission every day, and Horikawa Tokimi needs to complete the mission before she can truly become a member.

Today's task is to chat with friends for at least twenty minutes and spread the club's philosophy.

Horikawa Tokimi couldn't stand chatting with others.

But Amane, who has the same device on her body, is Horikawa Tokimi's choice.

"How was your summer vacation, Amane-chan?"

"It is nothing special."

Then the topic died.

The timer of the task applet in my brain also stopped.

Simply sitting together awkwardly is considered cheating and the task program does not approve of this.

"Um, Tianyin-chan, look at this." Horikawa Tokimi pointed to the collar around her neck.

She spoke so fluently that Horikawa Tokimi was a little panicked.

Sometimes stuttering can make you feel more at ease, but this feeling is very uncomfortable.

"Well, it's beautiful and very functional." The simple answer.

But it is true.

Horikawa Tokimi's collar is equipped with the latest technology, while Tianyin's is an older model used by patients in the past, with only basic functions.

"Amane-chan, do you want to change to a better one?" Horikawa Tokimi decided to start the conversation from this aspect.

"No need." Tianyin replied.

"But Tianyin-chan's model has a battery and battery life, right? Is it enough for a day?"

The one by Tokimi Horikawa is self-powered, but the one by Tenin requires an external power source.

"I turn on the power saving mode, so it can last a long time."

"Power saving mode?! That black and white picture?"

"Well, it's about the same as watching a 15-inch black and white TV one meter away."

Horikawa Tokimi felt a little scary.

"This... this is simply a black prison..."

Power saving mode can run for a long time because the amount of data processed is very small and there is almost no stress on the GPU.

Not only the picture quality but also the power-saving loading and sound transmission will be extremely degraded. Generally speaking, you can only "hear a sound" and you can't even tell who is who.

But Tianyin seemed to be able to hear it?

How did she do it?

"Vision has no special meaning to me."

"..."

I don’t quite understand.

This is embarrassing for him.

However, Horikawa Tokimi vaguely felt the wonderful feeling from the other person.

She doesn't seem to... desire to be ordinary?

Inexplicably, Horikawa Tokimi felt that Tianyin seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her, as if one day, she would disappear without a trace...

I can’t catch it!

When continuing the topic, Horikawa Tokimi was a little clumsy.

When chatting with Roppongi Ayame before, Horikawa Tokimi was basically guided by Ayame.

"Is it about the collar lock?" Tianyin asked, "Or is it something else?"

"That's not it. This is actually the initiation ceremony for a club I joined."

Next topic!

Although it was a bit embarrassing, I continued the topic!

Horikawa Tokimi breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't dare to say "club" for fear that Tianyin would think wrongly, so she said "society".

There are many clubs in the university, and many of them are cross-school, so there is no problem with clubs.

She struck while the iron was hot: "Our society believes that it is progress for humans to replace their bodies with machines, but as our bodies are constantly replaced, we will eventually lose our original nature. Therefore, when we replace our bodies, we need to retain our useless organs so that we can realize the weakness of flesh and blood."

"It's an interesting concept. The concepts of life and death are based on contrast. Without life, there is no death; without death, people cannot feel themselves. So, at that time, everything is dead, yet everything is alive."

who I am? where am I? What am I doing?

Is this concept originally something so profound?

Why did I vaguely feel that the club was fooling me before? Is it so high-end?

Horikawa Tokimi found that it was really shameful for her to always have wrong thoughts.

She had felt very uncomfortable before, but now, she actually had a sense of mission...

Although Horikawa Tokimi, who was fooled, still felt ashamed, she felt much better in her heart: "Actually, I wanted to introduce Tianyin to the club, but Tianyin is a cyborg..."

Oh, I feel like I said something wrong just now.

Words flash back.

Horikawa Tokimi only then realized that she had forgotten her disguise and called the club a club...

Wooaaaaaaah!

——! ! !

I have the heart to want to die.

"Yeah." Tianyin replied briefly.

awkward.

awkward.

awkward.

"Amane-chan, are you interested in this kind of thing?" Horikawa Tokimi struggled to find a topic.

"It's hard to say whether I'm interested or not," Tianyin said, "but your ideas and will are very good."

"Haha, I actually admire myself a little bit for this."

Horikawa Tokimi finally felt a little proud.

She heard from Roppongi Acorus that some people couldn't stand it even for a day, but she had worn it for nearly two months without any aversion, which showed that her quality was excellent.

In fact, Horikawa Tokimi didn't say something.

In fact, when she put it on, she was indeed nervous and shy. She thought that she would be fine after getting used to it, but after hearing what Chang Pu said, she also tried hard to train herself not to adapt to the collar so quickly, so that she could maintain this nervous and shy state...

Seeing that the twenty minutes were finally up, Horikawa Tokimi also stood up hurriedly.

"Um, sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Ah."

Horikawa Tokimi ran away impatiently, while Tianyin lowered her head and continued to read...

……

Not many people seem to notice the foreshadowing that is not obvious enough.

For example, Roppongi Ayame, the exoskeleton, Luo Zhen's sister, and the name of the hospital...

The author is a niche self-identified high.

Chapter 157 Battle Crisis

"Poma, please keep an eye on me."

"I can't take care of you."

"You're so tall and strong, I can tell at a glance that you're not someone to be trifled with!"

After entering September, fighting events in various places began to emerge again.

And this time, it was even more lively than the previous times.

Because the combat data of the oiran robot "Chris", who always won every battle in the arena, has been made public.

In other words, from now on, everyone can become a "Chris".

Because the news was so explosive, many people outside the circle also knew about it.

For example, Achun who came here looking for excitement, and Boma who was called by him to come together.

After suffering together for a month, the two of them formed a friendship.

How does the saying go, there are four irons in life, and these two people can barely be considered "classmates".

Today, they came together to watch Chris's game.

"How powerful is this Chris you mentioned?" Boma had no interest in underground fighting. He was dragged here, but after hearing that there were "beautiful young ladies" here, he reluctantly agreed.

"She's not the type that's just powerful. She's... that type, really beautiful, really charming..." Ah Chun was recalling the other person's figure in his mind.

As they were talking, cheers were heard from the venue.

The contestants are coming on stage.

The first person waiting was a modern woman holding a katana and wearing a full-body combat uniform.

Although it is a robot, its heroic posture is quite good.

"It seems that the game is really good." Boma showed some interest in the game.

But then another woman came to power.

The cheers grew louder.

That was a woman wearing a bold outfit.

Poma had seen similar style of clothes when she passed by an adult store.

This woman also held a katana, but she was wearing wooden clogs that were clearly not suitable for combat.
