The Mechanic

"Axun!!!" James rushed over, "How are you doing!"

After getting separated from Zhang Xun and the others in Dionysus just now, James has been looking for them. Later, guessing that Zhang Xun might not like so many people, he came out on an occasion, so he went out to search around, but saw a terrible scene. If he came later, Axun and the other mechanic might...

etc……

The other mechanic seems to be...

"A...Adam?!" James widened his eyes in horror.

Chapter 21 Garbage Treatment Plant (7)

Zhang Xun sat by Adam's bed, frowning, and his dark brown eyes were full of sadness.

Adam was lying on the bed, his head was covered with a thick bandage, his cheeks were so swollen that he could hardly see his eyes. He gave Adam a sedative, which put him into a coma.

There was the sound of gears turning, James walked in, quietly stood behind Zhang Xun, and put a hand on his shoulder, "Your own injury...is it really all right? Do you want a doctor to check it?"

Zhang Xun almost forgot about his own injury. As soon as he came back, he was busy contacting the doctor, and at the same time sent Adam to the scanning room for a full-body examination. Fortunately, those injuries looked scary, but they were only mildly concussed and did not cause intracranial hemorrhage, nor did they have any fractures or internal bleeding. Adam obviously protected his vitals consciously. So busy until now, Zhang Xun hasn't even changed his clothes yet.

"I'm fine." Zhang Xun lowered his eyes and his shoulders slumped. There was a large bruise around the corner of his mouth, which made James feel uncomfortable.

"Blame me, I shouldn't have dragged you to Dionysus." James was full of guilt.

Zhang Xun shook his head, "It's not your fault, I'm his mechanic. I have an obligation to protect him, but I failed."

"You did protect him. Isn't he okay?" James knew that Zhang Xun was about to get into a dead end again, "I think...you may be injured more seriously than him..."

But Zhang Xun didn't listen to his words at all, and said, "I'm so stupid, I should have known that I can't go to District 4 on Friday, at least not now. He has no ability to protect himself, what am I thinking? Maybe the sixth chief is right, and I'm not the most suitable candidate at all."

"Axun." James grabbed Zhang Xun's shoulder and looked seriously into his best friend's eyes, "It's not your fault that those bastards bully you, besides, you can't protect Adam for the rest of his life. He's not that weak, regardless of his intelligence or His physique is by no means weak. You can't lock him in the Lab forever."

"No, you don't understand. I forbade Adam to conduct self-training based on the data in his mind about any fighting or force confrontation. I am worried that if he has the ability to protect himself, I will no longer be able to control him." Zhang Xun Said lightly.

He didn't want to lose Adam's dependence on him. He likes the feeling of being depended on, trusted and needed.

James paused, not knowing how to answer.

"I still don't want him to have it..." Zhang Xun looked up with a wry smile, "I don't know what will happen if I open that door. I told the round table that I can tame him, but I'm not that confident."

James sat down next to Zhang Xun, bowed his head in silence for a while, and said, "I don't understand machines as well as you do, but I know how powerful Eden is. A Xun, even if he becomes a human, I don't care." Do not trust him. Think about how many bad roots humans have? The birth of Eden was because its creators were disappointed with the selfish and greedy nature of human beings. But now... we have given these natures to the original selfless killers."

"..." Zhang Xun gave James a complicated look. Although he usually seems to have a lack of strings as a young boy, sometimes he will suddenly say something thought-provoking.

"However, if you believe that he can bring hope to Paradise Lost, then I am also willing to give him a chance." James said, "If we really want to use him to deal with Eden, one day you will no longer be able to monitor him all the time. Looking at him, there is always a chance for him to learn those fighting skills by himself. It doesn’t make much difference if it is sooner or later. As long as you have the ultimate means to limit him, then I don’t think it’s a big deal for him to learn a little self-defense skills.”

Zhang Xun turned his head and looked at Adam, who was breathing calmly and deeply. At that time, Adam threw himself desperately to protect Zhang Xun, and even overcame the instinct that kept urging him to escape, ignoring the fact that he might be destroyed by the blast. For an artificial intelligence with excess rationality, does this completely irrational reaction mean that Adam may really have a strong enough emotional dependence on him?

It turns out that the most uncomfortable moment for a person is the moment when he can feel that he has a human body.

When you are healthy, the body is as if it does not exist, free to do whatever you want. But when you get hurt or sick, you realize how limited the body is, and you feel like you're locked in a narrow cage with venomous beasts and no way out.
