    The water vapor in the underground dungeon was astonishingly dense, fine water droplets formed on the cold ceiling, and fell on the blonde girl's neck, flowing down together with the dirty blood.

    The artificial intelligence explained in a deep voice, and switched the scene to the cell where Rose was held, and Deng Huailing saw the girl kneeling in a shadow.She is completely naked, and her arms are chained to the wall, but she does not make people feel erotic or frivolous, but only arouses infinite sympathy.

    Blood was bleeding from the corner of Rose's mouth, and the smooth skin surface was covered with bruises and bloodstains, pus and blood were slowly overflowing from the rotten wound.Her knees had been worn out on the ground, and the area where her arms were strangled by the iron chain was torn apart, only her consciousness remained clear.

    She gritted her teeth and turned her head desperately to reach the condensed water droplets on the wall behind her. Her chapped lips approached the trickle several times, but there was always a gap.Rose struggled hard, her body twisted into a strange posture, her blue eyes burst out with ruthless brilliance, and the desire to survive flickered in her pupils.

    The sound of footsteps echoed in the dungeon, followed by the sound of the ID chip being verified and the door being opened.Rose looked up vigilantly, but it wasn't Robert who came in, but the first bionic person they developed during the military academy, the zero of all bionics in CyberRose, Mary Lou.

    This android who looked exactly like Rose walked up to her, knelt down and looked at her.

    "You need water." Mary Lou looked at her for a few seconds and said without any fluctuations in her tone. "The water in your body is already seriously below the normal level, and you may lose consciousness at any time."

    "Nonsense, there's no water here." Rose said hoarsely.She stared at the bionic man who suddenly appeared in front of her, her eyes full of vigilance.

    During the few days when she was locked in the dungeon, Robert often brought a human girl or bionic person who looked similar to her to the cell to humiliate her.He acted like he enjoyed the pleasure of those girls very much, trying to evoke a trace of hatred from her eyes, like plucking a bloody yarn from intact fabric, but he often got no response.

    There was no Mary Lou among the girls brought by Robert, probably because she had been forgotten long ago.After all, she is too rudimentary a bionic person, the work of a teenager, not as good as the mature products in the company.

    But there was no guarantee that Robert hadn't lifted Mary Lou out of the warehouse on a whim.Rose ignored the other party and continued to touch the water droplets on the wall, when a bottle of unscrewed water was brought to her lips.

    "Two weeks ago, Rosie planted a Trojan horse in my program. He said it was written by a code-named killer. Do you know who that is?" Mary Lou frowned in confusion, "I should have killedKilled that virus, but Rosie was my original administrator and he had the power to modify my program. Robert forgot to remove his name from the administrator list."

    While listening to the android talk, Rose leaned close to the mouth of the bottle, eagerly drinking the water in the bottle."What kind of virus is that?" She stopped drinking water and coughed twice.

    "This virus ordered me to do my best to save you. Although I know this is a betrayal of CyberRose, I have to obey the order." Mary Lou took off the earring from her right ear and put it on Rose's earlobe. "I am in the warehouse.I found this pair of earrings, a product that the company gave up on, with tiny devices that allow holographic projections to be attached to the surface of the face."

    "You mean..." Rose realized something and opened her eyes wide.

    "I gave up the release because the coverage efficiency of the projection is not good, and the face-changing effect presented is not ideal." Mary Lou stroked Rose's earrings, then touched the one next to her ear, and activated the device function, "but...we're alike."

    The moment the projection was turned on, accompanied by an unstable strobe, the holographic projection spread over their cheeks at the same time.Mary Lou straightened up against Rose's face, and unzipped the uniform of the domestic android, revealing her white body.

    The uniform fell to the ground, and the bionic man untied the iron chains around his arms for Rose, turned off the pain module, cut off the ID chip on the side of the neck, and stuck it on Rose's neck, "Run away, use my authority, you can openAll the doors in the dungeon. Half a kilometer north, there's a car Rosie prepared for you in the parking lot, with a rose sticker on the rear and the key on the left front wheel."

    "I contacted Rosie in advance for you, but his number has not been connected. I'm afraid you can only contact him yourself. There is a communicator in your coat pocket." Mary Lou watched Rose put on her clothes, hesitatingAfter a while, he spoke hesitantly, as if he didn't understand why he said that, "I hope you...can show me the world beyond the radiation barrier. Good luck."

    "Here is Cecina police, Mary Lou, you have been arrested. Stop illegally crossing the border immediately, put your weapons on the ground, and step out with hands up. If you resist arrest, the police have the power to shoot you dead, sent back to CyberRose for overhaul. Repeat..."

    In the turbulent fantasy realm, police cars and hovering motorcycles with red and blue lights surrounded the airspace. Drones shuttled between houses in slums like mosquitoes and flies, using face recognition technology to search for fugitives.

    Deng Huailing and the artificial intelligence Rose stood on the roof of the bungalow not far away, watching Cesina's police force dispatch to hunt down the escaped Mary Lou.

    They knew that it was Rose with the face of the bionic man, but from Robert's point of view, what he received was the news that the bionic man entered the dungeon and then drove to the border, and Mary Lou was in the military academy.Rose spent time with Rose in his laboratory, and Rose almost watched her birth, which reminded him that Mary Lou was moved by Rose and went to the second district to ask Rosie for help.

    He completely missed the detail that Rosie was on the administrator list, and he also forgot that Rosie's surname was given to the android in the first place to comfort Rosie who was hurt by his words.He has long forgotten these boring and trivial things, and he wantonly massacred the members of "Shu" precisely because he no longer cares about the friendship he once had.

    At the borders of the cities, even the gray hives have disappeared, and the roads of the slums are so dirty and narrow that they cannot drive.Rose drove all the way from the bustling area to the edge of the city, and was forced to abandon the car on foot, fleeing on narrow muddy roads, her body was wrapped in a dark bionic uniform, and the blood splattered like rain marks all over her body.

    The figure of a policeman flashed across the alley, and Rose quickly hid in the corner, clinging to the wall to avoid the other party's sight.She leaned against the wall in collapse, covered her mouth and panted, carefully took out the communicator with the other hand, and dialed Rosie's number again.

    Luo Xi had promised that he would come to save her at all costs.On the way to escape, she worked hard to live to the last moment for this promise. Even though the wounds all over her body were inflamed and abscessed, even though she was dizzy from the high fever, she struggled to pull her feet out of the mud and move forward.She believed Rosie would never lie to her.

    But Rosie never answered the phone.

    "Mary Lou, this is the final warning, raise your hands..." The police car in the sky was still shouting.

    The communicator still showed no answer, so Rose hung up the call and made another call.On the screen as quiet as the sea, a silver line fluctuated gently, representing the connection.

    It's the last time.Rose said to herself.During the drive to the border, she had dialed more than 20 times, but no one answered.She listened to the repeated prompts over and over again, and gradually formed a thought in her mind that if Rosie couldn't be contacted, she would follow her plan and give Robert the last fool's gift.

    The drone passed by obliquely, and the encirclement formed by the hovering vehicle became smaller and smaller. Rose looked up and saw dark blue flame tails streaming densely on the eaves of the slums, like a grand meteor streaking across the sky.The voice of the police car became clearer: "Raise your hands high and get out of your hiding place..."

    Sixty seconds later, the communicator in her hand hung up automatically, but there was still no answer.

    She had lost her last chance to set foot on the river bank.Rosie's dream was correct, with something horribly aptly prophetic, that she had chosen to step into that icy river and let the tide cover her face.

    Rose took a deep breath, emerged from the corner, sprinted forward regardless of the pain, and slammed into the police car that stayed on the ground.In the next second, several policemen gathered together, raised their pistols, and loaded the bullets:

    "Stay where you are and don't move! Any approach or attack will be regarded as assaulting the police!"

    She ignored it, her blond hair dancing wildly in the ghetto wind, giggling and running to the police car like a moth to a flame.

    While moving at high speed, Rose still found a drone used for filming. She was sure that Robert would pay attention to Mary Lou's escape. At this moment, that person should watch the scene behind the monitor.

    "Mary Lou, stop now! Stop..."

    She ran forward recklessly, just like when she and Rosie were out in the city, with her hair loose, playing and jumping on the pebbles by the river like an urchin, and the wind seemed to be regressing behind her like the passing years.The surrounding sounds were chaotic, the roar of the police, the motor of the motorcycle, the continuous sound of the siren in the wind... just like those young days she experienced, they gradually disappeared.

    Suddenly a loud noise exploded, all the voices subsided, Rose staggered a step, scarlet blood splashed from her temples, the blood splashed wet the blond hair, and bloomed dazzlingly between the hair strands.

    She opened her eyes wide and stared at the drone in the air, then pulled up the corners of her lips, smiled brightly, and fell down slowly.The projector disguised as an earring shook, and with Rose's death, the holographic projection shattered into star-point powder, revealing the girl's true face.

    Robert, who was on the monitor, watched all this in shock.Rose's beautiful eyes closed weakly, and the projected fragments were blown up by the wind. The gorgeous dandelion he found in the wild five years ago finally merged into the wind and turned into thousands of uncapturable fragments.

    That girl was not a delicate rose, she was just a wild plant that was willing to get close to his palm.At the moment when he closed his palms, he saw the umbrella handle decorated with light flocks blowing away with the wind.She proudly gave him a winner's speech, the freedom she cherished was never out of her grasp.

    There was a torrential rain in the Magic Sea system. After playing all the memories related to Rosie, the overwhelming rain curtain covered the illusion. It seemed that the curtain of the drama was over, people were leaving the tea, and the curtain fell to cover the stage.

    Deng Huailing stood in the rain with his eyes downcast, rubbing the ring mark on his ring finger, and did not speak for a long time.The artificial intelligence Rose next to her was bathed in the rain, thinking silently as well, but it was just the two of them, obviously not thinking about the same problem.

    "What are you thinking?" Rose asked probingly.

    Deng Huailing came back to his senses, his brown eyes were full of pity."I... suddenly understood something." He fished in his pocket and took out the communicator that Rosie had thrown to him when she said goodbye to him harshly.Rosie's private number is kept there, specially prepared for him alone, and any message is answered very quickly, never muted.

    "Now I know why Rosie prepared a communicator for me alone." Deng Huailing said softly, "For some reason, he didn't receive Rose's call for help. He must have been guilty for the rest of his life, right?"
