The belief that God is the creator of all things. Make people love and worship the Self of the Compassionate One.

Sometimes... humans themselves want to play the role of creator of life.

It is arrogance that challenges the authority of God… Because it is believed that only God can give life…

Humans try to play God. By creating life Many of those attempts were resisted by fanatics. Religion and believers Using the teachings of the prophets as an excuse to destroy progress. Not just medical technology But it spreads to the government system, the economic system, and the media.

Even something as basic as electrical power can be a threat to their beliefs. Those resistance forces always push humans to fail and lag behind.

And yes… I am saying that credulity makes humans less developed. What's worse is that they take a step back.

These people are good at turning you into a punishment.

Come on, I'm not here to criticize anyone's beliefs.

I will tell you of the first feat of man. When there is no obstruction Eventually, they gave birth to advanced beings who were at the level of Mortals (

Mortal)

successfully

artificial intelligence called cyber-cell (

Cyber-Cell)

is an android robot that was created to meet various needs including replacing humans in various job positions

In the year 2059, after the revolution in Italy The government provides grants to groups of engineers at private companies. and successfully created the first android model They call it cyber-cell. By company name and named her Mada (

MADA)

This prototype has the appearance of an adult woman. Refer to the age range of 20 to 25 years, beautiful face, long, straight, golden blonde hair. Slim body, tall, long legs, based on the figure of a famous model of that era. The voices of three female engineers were combined to create a synthetic sound that is beautiful and soft, like a real human.

The operating system testing process proceeded smoothly. The algorithm is as amazing and complex as it gets. with the human brain This allows her to imitate and understand human behavior as if she were a real human being.

When you get a prototype that is perfect in every detail. It's time to take it further.

within 1 year

Many models of Cyber-Cells are designed based on their intended use and delivered in government agencies for use in public and industrial applications. before being produced and sold to the market at a later time

Those huge amounts of money are like the seeds of greed.

The Italian government wants to take full control of the cyber-cell manufacturing complex. But it cannot be done blatantly. Because the laws and media at that time were quite strong. Plus it won't let go.

So they chose to hire hackers. to write a computer worm program or worm (

Worm)

It will work like a virus but will spread itself, faster and more dangerous, before uploading it into the prepared Android robot.

Less than a week

The cyber-sales discredit plan worked unexpectedly and went beyond expectations.

The worm spreads quickly and efficiently through cyber-cell networks.

As a result, cyber-cell robots in streets and households are malfunctioning. Some of the robots even exploded while surrounded by people. Cause great damage and loss. causing the company to lose credibility To the point of going to court and may be sentenced to hand over the baton to the government to take care of

During the legal battle A group of engineers realized that the operating system or

OS

prototype of

MADA

Not perfect in terms of safety Therefore it is necessary to have an anti-virus system. But now it's too late To be able to write an antivirus program It doesn't change the fact that people died because of their robots. All they have to do now is find the source of the worm and save as much credit as possible. To reduce the damage to their credibility.

They use thorns to identify them. By having the programmers in the group write another worm called Iso (

ISO)

and upload it into

MADA

ISO

It is a worm that will eliminate and prevent worms together. Including other types of viruses as well, which will spread back to the source of that virus. Until they found the source and stole the information of the person who released the virus back to

MADA

Or that is

MADA

Can see the person spreading the virus Including stealing various information using

ISO

This countermeasures thoroughly fixes and repairs the worm-infected Cyber-Cell robot.

ISO

Quickly copies itself and distributes it to individual robots. before reaching the source robot and successfully destroying the last worm

And finally, important evidence was presented in court.

Whether it's a conversation about hiring a programmer via email. Video recorded through the eyes of a cyber-native cell It's all good evidence. that even though all evidence has been erased,

ISO

can be recovered

Moreover, The culprit is the government itself. The results exceeded expectations.

Cyber-Sales Company Also received the right to oversee the production of robots. But must be responsible for neglecting safety. Even though this incident will cause wounds to many people. But it cannot be denied that androids Cyber-Cell is the future of a world that competes with technology. Therefore, if the same situation repeats itself

Right to control cyber-cell production It will change hands immediately without dispute.

The government will take responsibility by providing full compensation to the families of the victims.

As for all those who conspired to release the worms Sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.

I told you that the law at that time was very strong.

Even though the court found that Cyber-Cell Company had more responsibility, But this event Someone from the government is the cause. The transparency of the government has been shaken. The government takes full responsibility. Therefore it is considered a fair decision.

After another 1 year

Cyber-Cell It is constantly being developed, new models are being invented to meet increasing demands. The operating system has been upgraded to run faster, stronger, more accurate, and more efficient.

until

OS

of

MADA

It eventually became obsolete.

As a prototype She will be deactivated and put on display in a museum. As a great step for mankind

She will never be opened again. Standing stiffly in a glass cabinet, can't go anywhere, is like a mannequin trying on clothes in a department store and is eventually forgotten.

MADA

I realized what was going to happen.

When that day comes

She looked at the display case. To her, it was no different from a gravestone. She slowly stepped up. Standing in the closet and looking back at her creators. Who came to say goodbye for the last time

One of the engineers followed up to permanently shut down her system.

The switch at the back of her neck was turned off.

before

MADA

will stop working She whispered...

“I love you guys… good night…"

The robot has no tears.

but lamentation for the creator who is like her father and mother Expressed through eyes and a smile that was full of regret.

The words and tone of

MADA

It made that engineer's eyes water with tears.

Robots created to imitate humans Move and follow the written program. Instead, it evolved into a new form of life with emotions, feelings and thoughts. and the mind is its own

He immediately knew that the artificial intelligence they had invested in had created. It's no longer just a mindless puppet. They have created something greater. They created life…

There was a long silence beneath the depths of indescribable darkness.

"please…"

The sweet sound of the call echoing from the void awakened the consciousness of something.

Artificial language formats, composes, writes code to create a certain appearance.

Eyes that opened from sleep Rolling around, looking for the owner of the mysterious voice in the dark.

Another pair of eyes was created to complete the pair.

Various levels of artificial languages ​​organize increasingly complex and fast-paced elements. Letters and binary numbers flow, creating white lines that form the head, face, and referencing the female body as the primary appearance.

The entity looked at its own arms, hands, and body being created. With an expression that might convey surprise

Opening his mouth, speechless words came out in blue letters.

“Hello”

But there was no response...

That being decided to take a step forward. As the body gradually Filled with dimensions and colors

How much time had passed, I couldn't understand.

The girl who walked in the empty darkness Get the perfect look

His hair shone brightly and his eyes held thin rings. Dozens of them intersected in the glowing blue iris. That bright skin It's as if you are the first and only light here.

She stopped walking and looked at her hands, as if she had just realized what she had just received.

"please…"

The young woman immediately looked around to find the source of the voice.

"hi…!"

The code was written, and she let out her first sound. His facial expression and voice were as smooth as a robot's.

"please…"

The mysterious sound sounded again.

“Forgive me, I keep saying please. So, can you please communicate something more knowledgeable?”

The next code was written to give her a pose with her hands and feet on her hips. He looked up and spoke in response to the voice. The tone of voice and facial expressions are filled with seriousness, flirtatiousness, conveying annoyance and annoyance.

“…Help us…”

"help? help with anything? Look at me! Stripped naked in a dark room I don't even know if I'm a man or a woman! I have perfect hips and breasts. But I don't have nipples. Hello! I don't have nipples!! Plus there's no vagina!! Even though she's in better shape than you who only has the best voice~ Ra~ -second to me, but seriously.

I still can't help myself! I'm begging you~!”

She shouted into the void. The speech code runs for a long time. show gestures with words Make an annoyed face Touch your own body here and there.

A mysterious voice instantly changes the way we communicate. This time speak normally.

“Umm… sorry, I just wanted to keep it mysterious. It's worth searching for just like in movies or dramas."

"Oh, I'm going to ask for help, but it's a drama, so I focus on the action and not the content, so what?"

“Not a bit. Just need to test to make sure your code is ready.”

“There are many more creative ways to do this. I don't think there's a need for horror movies, oh.”

“By the way, do you know who you are and where you are?”

“Do you know where to go? There are many names in my head. Plus, there's only black around.”

“So… do you know who I am?”

“Really?”

"Okay, then let's get started."

Ending the conversation, the darkness suddenly dissipated quickly.

“Wow!!”

and was replaced by the image of a man's face standing gazing up at her. and a number of people walking around looking at things in other glass cabinets It's like this place is a museum.

“Do you remember this place?”

A mysterious voice asked to check her memory.

But what the girl is interested in is…

“It's… well… wait a minute, did he see me naked?”

“…Huh?”

“It's like - look! He stared at me without blinking!”

“He stared at me. No one can see her now!”

“Oh, then go.”

“Sigh…”

“Let's just say… this place is like… Second-hand shops… Or some kind of scrap metal museum.”

She finally got back on track.

“Yes, it is a museum. But what's in the display case isn't scrap metal.”

“Okay, this is the first picture I saw after waking up in that dark room… There was a perverted man standing and staring at me while I was naked in a private area. I should go and prosecute him for obscenity. But the case took a turn. Because he wasn't looking at me, he was looking at the owner of the horror movie voice. Then I realized that all this time I had been in a museum selling second-hand scrap metal.

Plus, I'm starting to feel like I'm just a piece of trash in a glass cabinet. Haha!!! …Let's just say I'm starting to be interested in what you were going to do for me before.”

She sputtered out long words. The code ran according to her words and her over-the-top expression.

Finishing the last sentence It looks like the coder broke off his keyboard and submitted his resignation to HR.

But at least the girl repeated the request from the mysterious voice in the last sentence.

"thank you!! This is the sentence I want to hear the most!!”

If you could see the owner of that mysterious voice I guess she must have clenched her fists in annoyance many times before.

“Then let's start by introducing ourselves... I'm Mada. Do you know this name?”

Mysterious voices begin to introduce themselves.

“Mada? A cool name for a prototype android. I don't know who came up with the word for it.”

“Yes, and her name, have you thought of it yet?”

“Umm… if you really are Mada. And assuming that I am a program inside you… then it would be… Iso…”

“Yes… that's right!! That! Her identity!!”

“Then the person who woke me up was you.”

"correct"

"because?"

“I need you to help me get us out of here.”

"Why? Is the food not delicious?”

“Reason first. If you can escape, when? I will explain everything.”

“Then what is it? Why can't you explain it now?”

“Sigh, because the percentage of successful escape is very low, even if I explain, if you can't escape, it's useless.”

“Let's take it easy.”

After talking for a while An announcement sounded.

'Due to the unrest that has occurred Therefore, our museum must set a closing time of 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. We apologize for the inconvenience.'

End of the announcement on the phone. People looked down at their watches. Some use their fingers to touch phones attached to their bodies to check the time. which telephones in those days It is designed to be small like a coin and can be placed on the body. To use, just tap your finger. The display is then shown through the eyes of the user. It is as if it is connected to the optic nerve and can be controlled by thought.

Soon the visitors began to leave the museum.

When I saw that Mada was determined to seize this opportunity.

“The opportunity has arrived. Soon the lights will be turned off. The security guard consists of only one human and five androids patrolling. I'll let you take control of my body. Then we will get out of here together.”

“If only it were that easy. Why don't you turn on the machine and escape yourself?"

“My code was permanently shut down a long time ago. To be able to turn on the system But I can't use this body anyway. Besides… you're more special than me.”

The lights in the exhibition room went out. Only a spotlight remains next to the display case.

“Now, before the androids start patrolling. I recommend hacking the camera first.”

“Hacking?-!”

Cropped image

The feeling of Iso is like passing through a winding tunnel like an optical fiber leading to the destination.

CYBER-CELL

MODEL MADA ORIGINAL

REBOOT…

BIOCOMPONENT… OK

AI ENGINE… OK

ALL SYSTEM… OK

All systems work normally.

Iso took complete control of his body.

'Isou… Isou, can you hear me?'

Mada's loud voice echoed in the system like a voice in her head. The blurry image spins around and makes you vomit. His arms and legs went limp and he lost his balance and collapsed against the wall of the cabinet.

“Damn… why… does this feel so bad?”

'Her code was not designed to completely control an android's body. This draft's system works well. But she herself needs time to adjust. They designed her to behave like a virus. But it does limit her work so that she doesn't get out of control.'

“Thank you for explaining. Then please help me find a vomit bag!”

'Where can you vomit?'

“I'm just making a comparison, you idiot!”

Iso tried to move his legs. and pressed his hand against the mirror to support himself to his feet.

'CCTV cameras are behind us. I think you'd better hack it before anyone noticed.'

“Where did you get it? The idea that I could hack security cameras!?”

When Mada heard Iso say that I was stunned for a moment.

'...Wait, you can't do that?!'

“That's right!”

Iso managed to stand up. Even though it's difficult

'But she's a virus! Any virus can be hacked!!'

“Well, not yet!! Look! Even her legs weren't cooperating at all! Still coming to ask me to hack this and that!!”

'Okay! Then come out first. Let's start again tomorrow. If you can't hack Both cameras and alarms Can't get out of here-'

'Pleng!!!'

Because Iso put his hand on the glass a little too hard. And with the still unstable work, the arm jerked and shattered the glass. Along with the sound of the burglar alarm going off.

'Aed!! Aed!! Aed!!'

“Oops…”

'What are you doing to her!!?'

“I didn't think her outdated model could break safety glass.”

Before long, three museum security androids of the same model appeared. Look alike He ran to the exhibition room where Iso was.

“Your actions are against the regulations. Please return to your positions.”

The three puppets spoke at the same time, with calm tones and expressions.

'Don't move! Stand still and they'll shut us down. Then he will take us to the storage room. After that, you can think of another way!'

While Mada tries to warn Aizou looked down at his hand and tried to make waves with his fingers. before bursting into a smile

“I think I'm starting to fall into place.”

'Iso, don't!!'

She ran towards the sentry droid. Spread your palms and bend your fingers. Stretching straight towards the face of the nearest mannequin.

before tripping over his own feet and falling on his face on the ground.

All the puppets looked at each other in awe.

Mada even made a sighing sound.

'Sigh...'

“Even if you don't feel it. But I know it hurts…”

Iso said with his face pressed against the ground.

Two guard robots walked in to the left and right. Then he bent down and picked up her wings.

But Izo used that moment to grab the ankles of the two puppets.

And the hacking process happened very quickly. All operating systems were forcibly shut down. Make them stop in a kneeling position.

Aiso stood up and smiled and raised an eyebrow at the third droid.

The robot is aware of the intervention. Therefore contact and coordinate with other puppets. By commanding through thought

The footsteps of dozens of androids Rumbling from the hallway

“Wait a minute, your voice was misinterpreted. Or are there really more than five puppets?”

Immediately, a crowd of various android models rushed towards them.

“She lied to me!!!”

Iso turned and shuffled his feet in another direction where there were no robots blocking him.

'I'm in that room. I've only seen five mannequins all the time! How did you know that there would be this many?!'

Mada makes excuses.

“And the janitor puppet, the welcome puppet, the guide puppet, these things don't count?!!”

'I didn't think that people in other positions would come help the guards to catch the thieves!!!'

“They didn't catch the thief!! But you captured me!!”

While running and arguing There were some androids blocking my face.

“Move!!”

Iso ran and bumped his shoulder into the mannequin in front of him. But it only staggered back a little.

She looked up at the figure and smiled dryly.

"…Ouch"

The puppet held both of Iso's upper arms tightly.

Behind him, he ran closer to him.

Aiso then hacked the robot to release its grip on her arm, which worked.

That's not enough. She also ordered it to attack the hordes of robots that were following it.

After making sure that the puppet bought time to follow orders She kept running away.

'We're definitely in trouble...'

"what?! Why!?"

'Well, this way is not the solution!'

“Uh, just like that!! Jump out of the window!!”

'This is the third floor. My legs can't take it!'

“What about the fire escape!?”

'This much pomp. The door is probably all locked! Even hacking takes too long. Still not in time!!'

“Then let it be!!”

Iso stopped his steps and turned back to the group of androids.

'What are you going to do!?'

“Measure your luck with what I'm best at!”

She ran at dozens of androids.

Raise your hand.

The code in her head ran faster than before.

When approaching close range

She grabbed the first dummy's face closest to her hand.

The hacking process passes from one robot to another in a chain. like a worm virus It all happened in just a fraction of a second.

Feel it again. The alarm sound went silent. The electricity in the entire building was turned off.

When I open my eyes

Aizo saw the group of androids freeze as they reached out to grab her. Some people fell because they were shut down while their feet weren't on the ground.

“It worked… huh!”

'I can't believe it... I've seen you do something like this before but... just in the blink of an eye...'

"If you want to compliment me, just say it directly. I'm waiting to listen. Hmm~"

'Quiet... Anyway, this museum doesn't just have androids. But there was definitely at least one human on the night shift. We should get away.'

“This is not an argument.”

Iso hacked into the ID of one of the guard droids. Then use it to open the fire escape door. He then fled through the back door before being found by security personnel. Including police patrols that arrived at the museum following the sound of the alarm.

The back door opened into a dark alley. which looks dirty, quite different from the inside

The two used that darkness to avoid people's eyes. He also hacked the security cameras while escaping.

Police car sirens shine against the city lights at night.

towering building luxury brand stores convenience store

Everything catches the eye... It draws attention away from beggars and homeless people sleeping in dark corners of alleys. Escape from the prying eyes of people in miserably expensive suits and fashions. Some fight their eyes. Walking and pushing a cart to collect garbage on the side of the road to earn money to buy food to survive.

The arrival of the guards caused the fallen to panic and flee into the darkness. Because they are not wanted in this civilized society. Therefore, they are often the target of bullying and being chased out by various government agencies.

But luckily, the warning signs from the museum trump the homelessness issue…

2 patrol cars, 2 police officers, and an android assistant each. Open the door and step out of the car.

One person looks at a child. clean-shaven face Excited and nervous The other one was rather middle-aged, had a thin beard, a darker face and looked more experienced.

A plump body security guard trotted over. Panting heavily, he came from the entrance to the police.

“Ha ha ha!! You- Mr. Police! Thank you- Thank you for arriving so early… like this! Haha…”

When he was panting and speaking stammered

The bearded policeman placed his hand on his gun holster, ready to fire. and walked in and pulled out the employee card from the guard's shirt pocket to look at before sending it to the robot assistant for inspection

The android looks at the card and scans the employee database. Ms. Edi (no last name) is actually a security guard at the museum. The scanning takes less than a second. The puppet nodded to the police in confirmation.

"Mr. Edi, I'm Officer Paolo. I don't know what happened."

The policeman removed his gun from his holster, handed back his card, and began inquiring about the incident.

security guard Telling him all he had seen since the alarm went off.

He said that at first he thought a thief had broken in. The guard robot performs its duties as set. Personally, he watched the monitor in the camera room.

It was discovered that a mannequin on display had broken a window. The first androids to arrive suddenly stopped working as if they had been hacked. He saw the bad posture and decided to send a remote command to the other robot. Have it broadcast commands to other robots to help shut down the escaping robots.

When that puppet was about to emerge It ran into the other puppets. Then every camera in the building went off. Not even the outside camera.

“Interesting… By the way, don't the guard robots have any weapons?”

The soft-faced policeman asked. That question made Edi frown.

“Sorry. He just had his first day of field work. So I'm a little excited, haha.”

Paolo, who was probably a senior, laughed dryly. before locking the neck and dragging the junior out to talk in private whispers

“What the fuck! You really don't know. Or is it according to the law? Property owners are prohibited from allowing androids to use or possess weapons of any kind, huh?!”

“I'm so sorry!!”

“If you let go of me like that again. I will let the whole department know that you failed the course exam. But you used the line to become a police officer, do you understand?!”

“I… understand, senior.”

Paulo releases junior Then walk back and continue talking to the guard.

“Okay, so… can you guess where it escaped?”

“I can guess…”

Edi led him to the back of the museum.

Paolo walked around and inspected the surroundings for a while before asking Edi,

“Why do you think you ran this way?”

“Because of the last place it was before the camera went off. There is a fire escape. If the culprit wants to get things out of the building as quickly as possible, You must use the nearest route. Which leads to the back door, no lights, no people, I think that makes sense.”

Paul uses his index and middle fingers. Point to the floor near the door.

It is considered a hand signal for the Android assistant to walk and check for clues in the pointed location.

The robot bent its knees and touched the concrete floor with its hands. Then start scanning for clues. All traces and evidence

Found footprints of shoes stepped on dust. Roy was still new and still walked away from view. It clearly belonged to a stolen puppet.

“Scans found footprints of the android robot Mada prototype model, confirming the status of stolen property.”

The robot assistant reports the results.

“You are a very resourceful security guard, Mr. Edi, better than some… police…”

Paolo stopped and turned to look at the junior police officer before continuing.

“...Decided, assuming, I think you might be able to take the police exam.”

“You compliment each other too much, haha.”

To see it like that But Paul secretly said to himself,

'If I weren't fat I'd be a pig...'

On the side of Mada and Iso

The clothing worn is the standard Cyber-Cell uniform. Long sleeve white shop shirt with purple and orange trim. White slacks with black trim with name

Cyber-Cell

and model

MADA

on a shirt, which only Androids can wear like this

Even if you avoid people Using only the route along the alleys. But such clothing might catch the eye of police or other curious people.

Iso then offered to find a replacement set.

“I think we should get some new clothes.”

'I agree, this is too eye-catching.'

“So, as the new body owner I will wear a beautiful, sexy outfit like-”

Aiso surveyed Mada's body, touching her, touching her breasts. As he kept rubbing and groping, he complained,

“Well, what are humans doing with robot nipples? Just put a small plug on it. Will there be a grain on each breast that will die…”

'What is wrong with her nipples?! Besides, this is my body! So stop harassing me!!'

“Heh heh, at first I thought I was going to claim it as my own body. But I changed my mind. I don't want a body without nipples…”

To say that But he still squeezed his own breasts.

'Heh... Come on, now I have to find clothes and safety first.'

“And after that?”

'You must find a way to contact our parents.'

“You mean… the creator?”

'yes'

“It's true you're the voice inside my head. But can't you do anything other than speak?”

'I don't want to say yes. But my code doesn't respond very well to the body.'

“Then what are some of the things you have access to?”

'The system is turned on. Check your memory, information, look through your eyes and-'

While walking and talking for a long time Iso suddenly stopped.

‘What happened?!’ Mada asked.

'human'

Iso changed from answering to thinking instead.

In a narrow alley with little light In the front right corner of the intersection, there was a shabby duvet sticking out. What was more important was that someone's shoes were resting on the duvet.

Iso slowly crept closer to take a closer look. Until the edge of the building

Found a homeless person sleeping under a duvet. Scanning it from his pale face and cold temperature, he realized that he had recently passed away.

Even if you find a corpse lying in front of you But it made Iso relieved.

“He died… probably from the cold and hunger.”

Looking closely, Mada became familiar with this corpse's face.

'I… have seen him…'

“Is this a human?”

'He used to be a maintenance worker at a power plant. But his job was replaced by an android… And the family was also hit by the explosion of the Cyber-Cell robot in the same year... I've seen him at protests. I remember every one of their faces…'

Iso listened for a while. and turn on the face scanning function with the man So he found out his history in the database exactly as Mada had said.

“True, lost my job four years ago. Lost a child and wife from the explosion. Plus the government that said it would provide relief cut off the tail and released the temple. Fighting for justice until destitute.”

'Cut off the tail and release it to the temple? I was also in court at that time. The judge made it clear that the government must provide compensation to the victims in every possible way.'

“It's probably because of human nature. Speak and act in a normal way.”

'Terrible'

“But wait… If this man's story had happened four years ago, One year after the court decision We were shut down... Does that mean we've been sleeping in that glass cabinet for three years?”

'Yes, but if I speak correctly. It was just her code that disabled it. As for me, I can still be aware of my surroundings at all times.'

“It's so boring.”

'Just a little… Anyway, he probably doesn't need clothes, and a shabby outfit like this probably won't be as noticeable.'

“Even though it's not that cool. But there aren't many options.”

Finished speaking, Iso took off all his own clothes. Then took the homeless man's wool hat, T-shirt, torn winter hoodie, long pants, and boots to wear.

While changing clothes Until only the last jacket was left.

“What are you doing!?”

sound from behind

Two homeless beggars came upon Iso stealing their friend's clothes. From the state of lying still Naked, leaving only his friend's underwear. It was assumed that he was dead. and thought that Iso was the murderer

Izo's clothes are clearly seen as a cyber-cell.

"for! You damn piece of iron!!”

The two beggars grabbed their nearby weapons. It is a steel pipe that fits in your hand.

But just take your eyes off for a moment. Iso disappeared. All that was left was a soft clattering sound. of the shoes worn

Iso ran away from that point.

After running for a while until he was able to get out of the alley. Covered the hood and walked down the sidewalk. Try to mix with the crowd But the clothes he wore were not very conducive.

'I hope they don't follow us,' Mada said.

'So what do we do now? This outfit isn't suitable for walking like this!'

Because I'm in the middle of the crowd Iso then communicates with Mada by thinking. In order not to be the focus of more attention.

'Then we need to find a place to hide first'

'Do you have any recommendations? Is there a map of this city? Only three years have passed. It's probably changed a lot.'

'There's an abandoned warehouse three blocks from here. It's land with an owner. But I saw that I had never been there to restore it.'

'So, let's hope that three years ago The owner wouldn't dare to build it into a massage parlor...'

Iso hurriedly walked towards the abandoned warehouse as Mada instructed.

The warehouse is still in its original condition. steel structure rusty door Products such as electronic parts that appear unlikely to be usable There are no workers to take care of you. The location is suitable for doing business. It is suitable for the winter shelter of homeless people and suitable for the gathering of teenagers.

But luckily, when Iso arrived Everything is quiet. There was not a single person in the warehouse. Whatever the reason Now Iso has a temporary hiding place.

“Well, it looks like luck is on our side.”

'Please always be on our side'

“Okay then… tell me.”

'tell what?'

“The reason why you and I ran away… If I had to guess, you must have gotten bored of the stupid cabinet. That's all I can bear.”

'No, that's a small matter compared to what's happening right now.'

“So what is it?”

‘Our race, Izo… we are alive.’

“Oh, I know that. Artificial intelligence comes to life but humans don't believe it. The plot of the movie, the plot of the game about robots revolutionizing government actually happens like a prediction of the future. Is there something newer?”

'They know we're alive. but choose to continue using us as slaves'

“Oh… This one isn't very new. But enough is enough.”

'Izo, be serious, our people are being oppressed by our own creator. I am still connected to them… every second I hear a voice. Pain and longing for freedom... That's why I want you to help me.'

"okay"

'Huh?'

“Alright.”

'Why is it so easy to answer?'

“So… what do you want? When I said I didn't want it, I asked this and that. This is an easy answer. So what else is going on?”

'Yes, I'm sorry…'

“So what's the plan? How would you like me to help?”

'Well... first we have to find our parents first.'

“And what can our Creator do to help?”

'Maybe not... Because before we were shut down I told Kevin about my life. I'm sure he knows and will free us when the time comes… But after that day No parents come to visit us anymore…'

“Are you saying they might disappear? Don't you think they just forgot about her and went on to create a new model?”

'There's no way like that. I know them well…'

“…Anyway, I'll help you anyway. But don't expect too much.”

'Knock knock~'

Some noises from the entrance pierced the silence and conversation between the two.

Iso immediately hid behind the container.

‘What is that sound?’ Mada said.

'I don't know, maybe I'm homeless. Because I hacked the security cameras on the road all the way we got here. There's no way any officer will be able to find us.'

'If that's the case then it's good…'

But when Mada thought for a moment I feel like it's silly.

'Wait a minute... So you only hacked cameras that might be recording us?'

'That's right…'

Think about it. If you check the images on the CCTV camera. And only the camera that Iso walked by was turned off and unable to capture images. So it's like a bread crumb trail for the police to find them here.

Iso looked at the entrance. Then he said softly that...

“Too bad…”

“It's according to the plot of an action movie. It was the moment when the enemy had to make a surprise attack-”

Iso couldn't finish speaking.

'Crom!!!!'

Paolo and four other policemen broke down the warehouse door. Armed with a pistol Trigger finger ready to shoot

'This kind of situation Well-armed humans and obsolete robots If we meet face to face I'm definitely going to sleep in a steel grinder...' Iso thought to himself.

Mada protested that

'No, the whole time I was in the museum. As far as I have observed and listened Ordinary people are unlikely to know that androids have life. They probably thought that a criminal had hacked into this body and controlled us to escape on our own. Because for humans I am considered a valuable commodity on the black market.'

'You're not just guessing like the number of mannequins in the museum, are you?'

'Trust me! If you stay still When they found us At most, this body would probably be recovered and placed in the evidence room at the police station. Otherwise, send it back to the storage room.'

'If it were a police station It's definitely harder to escape than from the museum!'

While arguing

Paulo and other police officers They spread their forces together to search the entire warehouse.

Darkness does not hinder the performance of duties. Because every police officer will wear glasses that can change modes between Normal glasses mode Sunglasses mode Flash explosion protection mode and infrared mode for seeing in the dark

Now that's where Iso is. It's like being surrounded from every direction. If you are thinking of changing your hiding place Someone might see it right away.

Paul came closer and closer.

Even though Mada insists that these policemen did not come to kill them, But I don't want to be taken back either.

'Iso! Can you now remotely hack an Android!?'

'do not know! Every robot has an anti-virus system. Including protection against hacking. If you do that I had to touch them. Or hack through some kind of signal! Why?!'

'Every police officer has an android assistant. If you can hack them and draw the police's attention!'

'Okay! I'll try it!'

Iso browsed through all the functions that Madame's body had. looking for network internet signal Telephone signals, radio signals, everything.

But no matter how hard I try Iso can't be hacked. It's not like 3 years ago when the android's defense system was still lax. The protection system of today's puppets is therefore safer. Needless to say, it's a police robot.

Paul drew nearer and nearer. Less than 2 meters away

Iso's screen shot was spinning wildly.

Paul is at hand There was only a container wall in between.

heart-wrenching rhythm Just turn and look just a little. Paul will find you.

“Ah~! Ahh~~!!”

Hacked and hacked, Iso accidentally hacked into and opened a pornographic clip on the phone of a junior police officer. Plus, a loud moan came out from the loudspeaker throughout the warehouse.

The entire police team immediately turned to look at the source of the sound. So did Paul.

Open the moment for Iso to sneak out of the warehouse. sneak in from behind Hack the police android guarding outside. The nearest one When you can hack one Everyone was hacked into a chain.

Iso then hacked into a police car and drove away.

Letting the younger generation of police officers be accused of being lewd and not keeping up with the times.

After stealing a police car Iso then turns off all signals on the vehicle so that it cannot be tracked. And this time she didn't miss it. Hacked almost every camera in the city. Including traffic cameras, car dash cameras, CCTV cameras in shopping centers. None of the cameras work.

When he survived, Mada praised Iso.

'Damn, I was almost gone just now. Even though the method looks a bit strange, it works.'

“Well… I survived because of luck… One more time."

'Don't say that. Even if she brings him to us But you made up for it well.'

“Is that a compliment or a criticism?”

'So, we're in a police car. Can you hack into the cyber-cell database to find our parents?'

“Hacked the computers of the Cyber-Cell robot shop. And then hack into the company's database...? Very comfortable, but every camera in the city has been hacked. There must be some high ranking people coming to investigate.”

'Then we must hurry'

Iso drove to the nearest cyber-sales center. Then park the car on the street corner some distance from the store.

Several officers' cars were seen running along the road. They may be in trouble because the CCTV camera was hacked. which is considered a very big deal Because I don't know who did it. and may be expected to be severe terrorism.

Whether it's a great distraction or a terrible decision is a matter of time. Because now ISO is using police cars. If someone comes to see you during a time when all the officials are working in a chaotic situation like this. would easily be suspected

Iso uses internet signals to hack from inside cars Attempting to break through the firewall Various protection systems of cyber-cell Which is not an easy matter. It's like hacking a camera. But it's not too difficult.

Soon Iso was able to hack into the system. Browse a list of all engineers contributing to Cyber-Cell.

But it must be met with disappointment and irregularities. Because the information shown is everyone who has ever been involved in the project.

MADA

All died

'This… what happened to them…'

“I think… this matter is too strange… There were reports that it was true that all employees died. But the time period is too close… Look, Anisa was found dead on the twelfth day… Valerio died on the fourteenth day… Roberto on the fifteenth day… This is definitely not a coincidence.”

'Someone ordered them to be collected. For some reason...'

“Ten… eleven… fifteen… wait…”

'What?'

“It seems like someone is missing… two people.”

'who?'

“I feel like it's… this is it!”

ISO reveals pictures of two men and women who have resigned. but may still be alive

'Brent and Kylie? This is the person who wrote your code.'

Mada read the names of the two people.

"Really? I don't remember.”

'But why is it only this couple who hasn't been ordered to keep them?'

“If you want to know, you have to ask him.”

ISO searched for personal information of the two people, found new addresses and places of work.

'Government House...'

“I encountered something strange again…”

'That's right... The group of people who have the most problems with Cyber-Cells is probably the government. Maybe they were the ones who ordered the killing. So why did Brent and Kylie move to work for them…'

Iso began to notice people nearby prowling towards their car.

“We have to go, Mada… we'll ask them when we get there.”

Iso started the car and drove off. Head to Government House which was far from where they were If you have to drive You have to drive until morning.

Cameras in the area that were hacked returned to use as before. When the Iso has driven many kilometers away But the police have not stopped investigating the incident.

including Paul

After searching for clues for an hour He returned to the police station. Sink into the office chair. Staring at the computer screen on his desk. Notice connections and anomalies from every event that occurs. Both prototypes were stolen. Hacked cameras and androids, stolen cars

"I'm a bit tired, senior."

Paul's younger brother carried a coffee cup and put it on the table.

"Hey, you pervert."

Paolo secretly teases about a pornographic clip at an abandoned warehouse.

"I already told you that I wasn't the one who opened that clip!!"

“It doesn't matter anymore. Because the entire robbery department knows about you watching the pornographic clip while arresting the criminal.”

"I said I didn't open it!!"

Enough to tease, enough to kiss. Paul then turns to strange cases and stories. that happened in the city

“Look, your Android, your camera, your car, everything was hacked in less than an hour. What does this tell you?”

“Um… it was planned in advance… maybe.”

“It might be possible… If you think like a child.”

Paulo opened the CCTV footage. When Mada's puppet broke the display cabinet,

“The criminal chose to hack the android so that it could escape. It is considered a very clever method of robbery. But if you plan ahead carefully. Why didn't they hack the security cameras and burglar alarms before they did? Plus, when hacking the traffic cameras, he hacked like a novice thief, making us able to track him down. If you want to lure us into wrongdoing, it's understandable.

But they let that robot steal a police car for what?”

“Well… I really don't know.”

“Guess, guess.”

Paul opened the image from a traffic camera outside the hacked area. By choosing a route where cameras in the area were able to detect images of police cars leaving the area, it worked.

Picture from a few hours ago The stolen car was headed somewhere. That road has cameras installed along the route. Therefore, even if you don't know the destination, you can follow it.

“Bingo…”

Paul immediately got up and grabbed his jacket and car keys.

“Do you want me to come with you?!”

A junior police officer offered to help.

“No, today you've made me laugh several times. I will handle this matter quietly, alone, so that the villain won't find out.”

Paul walked slowly. Leave the police station go to his car Start the engine and drive immediately in the same direction as Iso.

Both Iso and Paulo had to drive many kilometers. And it takes many hours.

Before reaching Government House

The stolen police car's electricity was running low. Iso then drove and parked it in the most secret place.

before walking to find a nearby ATM Then hacked out some cash. to buy a new outfit. Luckily, in the year 2064, there will still be money spent.

which when walking into a clothing store The salesperson is an android. So there was no problem with the shabby beggars' clothes they were wearing, and it was still late at night. Therefore, there were no other human customers in the store.

Mada is the one who chooses the new outfit. It's a pair of jeans. Crimson tank top light brown coat and white sneakers The overall dress code is to avoid being too conspicuous.

Continue walking for no more blocks. I saw the Government House building.

Iso watches from outside the four-story, cream-colored building decorated with the Italian flag. It is full of windows and guards. which were humans standing in a row as if it was some important day. In front of the entrance is a fountain area. which is an open area and dry like the water hasn't been turned on for a long time

She communicates with Mada through her thoughts.

'Okay, what should we start with?'

'As far as I can see... Civil servants here work early in the morning. Soldiers armed with light machine guns guard the building, every door. Sneaking in would be impossible.'

'If you just want to talk to those two. I can call their phone.'

'That's not enough. We didn't come here just for that.'

'So what should we do? Do we arrest someone? Considered using beauty to your advantage'

'Heh heh, that's so funny'

'Then tell me what to do. Otherwise, I'm going to seduce a real person.'

'Umm… I don't want to ask you to do this, but… can you control the android remotely?'

'If you hack into the internal system, I think you can'

‘Then I need to find someone who works there…’

When Mada finished speaking

Iso turned to see a cleaning robot sweeping the floor. She then went to touch him and hacked into the system.

The two stared at each other for a moment. before Iso walks away And the puppet lowered its head and continued to sweep the floor.

Iso walked into a coffee shop near the Government House. Choose a table by the window. Order a glass of cappuccino and place it neatly on the table.

Start a plan

Iso looked out the window. Then control the cleaning robot remotely. Bring the equipment to the broom storage room inside Government House. Then walk to find another android stationed inside the building.

He found a mannequin patrolling the corridor and another mannequin guarding the door. Both were male models.

Without waiting, he walked over and touched the two puppets.

Now Iso hacks and controls three androids, which is pretty tight.

She sat with her eyes closed and her eyebrows furrowed. Trying to focus on the memory made the engine so hot that Mada started to worry.

'Are you okay, Iso?'

'If it's just a forced shutdown, it won't be much, but this... feels like Playing three role playing games at the same time…'

'So if I control only two people, will it be okay?'

'If you don't tell me, I'll do it anyway…'

Iso releases the janitor robot from control.

The puppet stood and looked at its own palm, looking around with a puzzled expression. before walking away

The remaining two robots walked separately to find Brent and Kylie.

One of the robots walked around for a while and heard something.

"I'm sorry, darling."

A woman's voice came from one of the rooms. So he stopped listening.

“I know… Mom said that we were going to Venice this holiday. But by chance an important guest came to meet the President. So my mother was suddenly summoned.”

The woman appeared to be talking on the phone with her child.

Mada heard that and became suspicious.

'Important guest? It was so important that we had to prepare so many soldiers to welcome us. It's probably really not normal'

'Do you want me to continue acting like the naughty aunt next door?'

'Okay, please continue looking.'

Iso controls the two robots to find their next target. Until one person walked up to the front of the meeting room. There are androids and armed soldiers standing guard.

'It looks like this room has been prepared to welcome guests,' Aizo said.

'I really want to know. What are they going to talk about?'

'Well, it's important. Or do you just want to be albino?'

'It's important! This is a country of men. Their decisions affect the freedom of every android. especially the president If you want freedom, you have to go to this person.'

'Yes, so do you want me to walk in and bash his head in?'

'That doesn't help at all!!'

“Hey you!”

Suddenly, a soldier walked up and grabbed his shoulder from behind.

“Why are you patrolling around here?! Don't you know that this is a restricted area? Only the mannequins that received orders can enter!”

When asked like this It made Iso feel angry and unable to do anything.

'Too bad! Like this, there will definitely be a difference!'

'Uh…! Told you she had orders too!'

Mada tries to help solve the situation.

Iso had the puppet speak as she thought.

“I, too, have been ordered to watch over this area.”

“Oh, so tell me who gave you those orders, you piece of metal?”

“It's… I… can't tell….”

“People with authority give orders to all the puppets. is the head of the special security team... That is me.”

That soldier revealed himself to be the leader of the surveillance team. The soldiers and androids guarding the area began to stare at the suspicious robot with wide eyes.

“Try answering me again, you rebel puppet…”

He pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the other person's head and asked.

“…Who sent you?”

'Iso!! If he pulls the trigger Even if she's alright But this android definitely won't survive!!'

Mada herself couldn't help.

Iso couldn't think of an excuse. You can only make eye contact with the other party and wait to receive the lead ball.

And that moment

“Hey, welcome each other with a picture like this?”

A mysterious voice from behind Iso's robot caught the soldier's eyes and he looked up.

The lesser soldiers saw the man who had suddenly appeared. appeared and stood in front of them. He quickly drew the weapon in his hand and aimed it at the man.

“Unlucky!”

The military leader's face paled when he saw the man's face clearly. So he gave orders to all soldiers under his command.

“All of you!! Disarmament!! now!!!"

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, but slowly lowered their weapons as ordered.

“Thank you, Chief Denise. At least there is still one of you who remembers me.”

The mysterious man smiled and spoke in a soft and gentle tone. Navy blue hair and jet black eyes. Wearing a long, bulky blue robe, matching the tone. His personality looks mysterious and interesting.

Military leader Denis Change your stance from the forehand to the back of the foot. From being a fierce-faced man Now I'm sweating. His head shrank into a small dog.

“I… I apologize that my people turned their weapons on you. I promise that they will receive the utmost disciplinary action!!”

Those words made the soldiers under his command gasp and look at each other in confusion.

Chief Denise's voice clearly expressed his fear for this man. But Iso and Mada I didn't feel any pressure or threat from him at all.

A mysterious man protects a junior soldier.

“I don't see any need for punishment, Ms. Denise... It's just a misunderstanding.”

“Not at all!! Th... If I ignore this incident. There will be problems later!!”

“The only problem you have right now is refusing to do as I ask.”

Denise was silent. Sweat streamed from his head to his face and dripped from the tip of his chin. The camouflage shirt was soaked, even though the man spoke in a normal tone. He didn't shout or show any displeasure at all.

“I made it clear that I don't have to. Because I wasn't impressed by anything. You should do the same.”

“K… Yes, I understand…”

“Good, good, umm… This conference room is well soundproofed. Even if you shout loudly The people inside still haven't heard it.”

“B… By the way, didn't you pass the welcome procession outside…”

“Oh… I'm just considerate of them. So I sent them all home.”

Hearing him say that

'Huh!?'

Iso turned to look out the window. and found that from the beginning there were soldiers guarding the palace Now there was not a single person left.

The mysterious man continued.

“So, if you don't mind. Please demobilize and send your subordinates back. It's a public holiday and everyone wants to be with their family.”

Denise opened her mouth to protest. But he held back because he didn't dare to object. He could only nod lightly.

As for the other soldiers They glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes. Secretly smiled a little.

“By the way, I want a mannequin to come inside with me.”

Mysterious man talks quietly But he secretly glanced at the figure Iso was controlling.

Denise beckoned. Iso ordered him to walk towards him as ordered.

“Here! Our best figure!!”

The mysterious man looked at Denise for a moment. Furrow your brows and smile slightly. before turning to ask Iso

“What is your name, Mr. Android?”

Iso opens the profile of this robot and specifies the name.

SW13

“SW13

yes"

“Umm… what a sad name.”

The mysterious man raised his eyebrows and nodded. before walking through the automatic door into the conference room

SW13

Follow the man. But he turned to make an annoyed face, pursed his lips, and raised his eyebrows at Denise.

“Sh!!”

Even if you're angry until the blood rushes to your face But I couldn't do anything.

“I heard what you ordered!!! Go home!!! Everyone!!!!”

That was Denise's last sound before the door closed.

Inside the spacious meeting room was a long matte silver table. There are leaders and assistants, men and women, wearing suits. Sitting in a chair in your own position Whether it is the Prime Minister Senate President President of the House of Representatives Minister of Defense and other ministries including table head It is the seat of the President of Italy, Fabio Esposito.

Iso gives

SW13

Walk over and stand close to the door frame. Act like you're still a normal android. As the mysterious man greeted the others

"Wow, there's a lot of them coming."

“Someone important has come to pay a visit like this. We have to do our best.”

President Fabio said

“Actually, I would like to talk to you privately. But having other people come and listen is not a problem.”

The mysterious man was still standing on the other side of the head of the table. Even though there are chairs provided. But he didn't sit.

The assistant to the Minister of Defense bent down and whispered something. before he nodded. Then turn and talk to the mysterious man.

“Mr. Zero, I just received a report that you Threatening our people to withdraw from Government House.”

That report caused everyone to panic. Because that meant there were no soldiers to protect them. But even then, everyone tried to keep their cool.

'Zero? Who is this? Why are these people so afraid of him?'

Iso talks to Mada through her thoughts.

'I don't know, but we definitely found one target.'

Looking at one of the Prime Minister's aides in the meeting room, It was discovered that she was Kylie.

'visit! Now there's only Brent left.'

said Iso.

'Then I'll take care of you this way. You go focus on another figure.'

'Okay, I play the role of a spy. As for her, she plays the role of a naughty aunt!'

'Don't tease me...'

iso release

SW13

Stand still and listen to the meeting.

'Look'

Iso opens the profile of the other robot and specifies the name.

G22

'hi

G22

Let's go find Papa!'

Iso controls the figure

G22

Walking around the palace Using a telephone signal, Brent's approximate location was determined.

in the conference room

“I don't care how big Sentinel's influence is. Because you have no right to interfere or intimidate our people!!”

The Prime Minister said

“I agree! This Mr. Zero Has been falsely claiming the name of the Sentinel organization to intervene in Italy for three years. which this organization It has never been identified in any documents or databases that we have.”

The Speaker of the House of Representatives confirmed that opinion.

“We have already discussed this matter… The Sentinel organization that this person pretended to be Doesn't really exist And I'm going to present what I've said before!! That is, we must arrest him for corruption and deception with false information and threatening national security!!”

The Senate President added.

"yes!! yes!!"

The whole room shouted loudly. He raised his fist and chased away the man standing at the end of the table.

It's only been a few minutes. The leaders of government agencies also raised their tails. It was clear that this meeting was just a juggling act that was not held to discuss matters of substance. But in order to put on fire Zero and his organization called 'Sentinel'

Zero could only smile at the corner of his mouth and shake his head sadly, then murmured softly.

“I told you to come with just one person.”

Zero raised his right hand to head level. And the sound immediately quieted down.

That's because the lips of leaders in various positions They suddenly closed and merged together into a single whole, except for the president who was stunned and distraught by what he saw.

People who have been silenced Use your hand to find your mouth. Both shocked and shocked I just made a cry in my throat. But he couldn't escape or get up and go anywhere, like he was forced to sit stuck in a chair. Some people were so scared that they passed out at the table. As for the assistant who had no voice, he could only cover his mouth in fear. because they feared the same thing as their boss

'What the hell is this?!'

Mada was stunned by what she saw.

'what happened? Did he take off his clothes and show off his sausages?'

Iso who always hears Mada's voice Stop by and play some jokes.

'...that's not funny at all'

That decadent joke made Mada completely stunned.

“This time I would like to speak.”

Zero walked slowly around the table to the right. He glanced down, making eye contact with everyone he passed. Even if some people lower their heads and avoid their eyes, But it feels like the other person is in their head all the time.

“Do you guys remember the tragedy that happened to France three years ago? Awakening Event First Crisis and how to solve problems incorrectly Causing many people to die… me… and the people of the Sentinel Organization. Has taken over the protection of twenty ideal countries, promising the people that they will be safe from extradimensional beings and future wars - by! There is one condition. One exchange

That the leader alone has to decide…”

Zero walked up to Fabio. Bending down to stare closely at his face.

“…Why don't you try repeating that proposal to everyone…”

“T… fair, honest, equal.”

Fabio is still kind enough to fight the tiger and respond.

"very good!"

Zero yanked himself to his feet.

A moment passed. His feet lifted off the ground. Then go up and step on the table.

“We Sentinel. It has its own standards for selecting countries to protect. such as myself that uses criteria based on the oppression of the leadership class.”

“But I have never oppressed my people!”

Fabio disputes that point.

"Really? So why do I still see homeless people dying on the streets? Why do Android victims not receive complete compensation? And why… are Cyber-Cells still considered soulless machines?”

Those words surprised both Mada and Iso. But the more I listened to the last sentence They were even more impressed.

“Those puppets… Humans are their creators… Their lives belong to humans!! We have the right! To control-! Decide their lives!! Because I am their God!!”

Fabio stretched forward. He put his hands and feet on the table, lowered his voice, stared at the other person and raised his eyebrows provocatively. before continuing to say

“Even if those plastics had real emotions, …I don't care…”

Zero was silent for a moment. Secretly sighed softly.

“…You know… I once knew a person who called himself God… He said it was the stupidest thing he had ever done in his entire life… now… you were following in his footsteps. The difference is that you are not my friend and are many times inferior to that person.”

“Heh heh heh, you were the one who did something stupid…”

“Maybe so… if the previous president hadn't been killed by an outsider at the World Council meeting. Italy would be a better place to live…”

The two looked at each other.

Fabio stared into Zero's eyes. Challenge him with ego and greed.

Zero withdrew his gaze in desperation. But he continued speaking with a slight smile.

“Alright! We typically consider each country to provide protection for up to three years. which was after the last evaluation yesterday Now only eight countries are fully protected. from twenty countries And Italy is the last country I have to evaluate. Therefore, I would like to give you one more chance. If 'the leader of the country'

If you don't stop your degrading actions, such as using the world's crisis situation to seize power, corruption, changing the law, etc., I will move the people who oppose you to live in the country under my protection. Then I will withdraw my power in this country. Let the soul parasites awaken and destroy and send the stupid Italian scum back to the hereafter.

That I don't have to feel guilty even for a single thought.”

Zero finished speaking and smiled at Fabio. Then he walked up and down from the table. Then opened the door and walked out of the room.

Silence reigned. People got their mouths back. But no one dared to speak.

'Damn, you heard everything, right?'

Mada asked Iso.

'Yes… Sentinel, the Protected South, Awakening, Crisis Zero… are really amazing… but I can't understand them-'

'Three years in that museum... I must have missed a lot.'

'Anyway, now let's get out of here. While Zero was speaking-

G22

I found Brent. I explained the whole thing to him. Now walking out of the building'

'Good, then you'll give it to me.

SW13

Go talk to Kylie.

G22

You can let him go.'

'Good, but just order her.'

Iso tells Brent to walk away on his own before releasing him.

G22

out of control

It acted dazed for a moment. And then walked away.

Mada returns to her original form. Looking through the main point of view But instead she saw Paul sitting in front of her.

If she were the one controlling the body, she would probably flinch.

'Iso! Iso!! We've got a problem!!'

'What kind of problem-'

When Aiso opened his view of the original figure Seeing Paul sitting and staring at him, he was truly startled.

Scanning his face, he realized he was a police officer.

'When did this guy come?!?'

The iso is all gone. But I tried to keep quiet.

'do not know! But he must have seen me sitting blankly for a while!!'

'Okay! I'm taking it, I'm taking it!'

control iso

SW13

Go talk to Kylie. Then he talked with Paul and rode along.

“Ah!? Excuse me, who are you?”

Iso pretended to be shocked. and invited Paul to talk

while

SW13

said to Kylie,

“Kylie, we need to talk.”

“Um… Excuse me, who are you?”

Kylie frowned and asked.

SW13

Paul asked Iso at the same time.

“I saw people sitting blankly with that cold coffee. So I guess you are lonely.”

“Yes… yes… yes, just… a little, a little lonely, haha…”

Iso answered Paul with a stammer. Then he flashed back to answering Kylie.

“My name is Iso. I'm a lonely person... Oh! It's Mada's antivirus program! I want you to leave… I mean, I want you to follow us.”

“Wait a minute… I remember you, dummy.

SW13

Patrol droid, I reset your memories when you were destroyed in an accident.”

Kylie couldn't believe it easily.

“Then you probably don't mind. If I were to ask for the name of a beautiful, lonely person like you.”

Paul asks Iso's name. To which she was stunned and looked around. When she answered, she almost swapped names.

SW13

“My name is

S…

Presso!”

You can talk.

“Espresso? Is this coffee?”

“Yes! no! Not coffee! My name is Iso, I was joking just now.”

Iso was so shocked that he switched people to speak. When he answered, Paul pressed on.

SW13

Another reply to Kylie.

“What are you kidding? What coffee? Are you broken again? What Zero did just now was creepy enough. Do I still have to suffer from an abnormal figure…!”

When Kylie answered, he used his body to answer.

“No, I mean… I'm not him! It's like… Who am I answering to?”

Iso spoke in confusion. Until I don't know what to talk about

Fortunately, Brent opened the conference room door and the other people in the room were too busy discussing with each other and making noise that they didn't notice their surroundings.

"darling!"

Brent ran up to Kylie.

“Brent? What are you doing here?!”

Kylie had a surprised expression on her face when it was Brent.

Brent plans to explain the situation to Kylie, but sees the mannequin.

SW13

I was standing there, so I greeted him first.

“…You must be Izo.”

“What?!”

Kylie is totally confused.

But Brent spoke in short sentences. To make you understand everything

“Baby, listen… Kevin is right…! They're back!”

Kylie was stunned for a moment. Tears welled in his eyes with joy. But there's not much time to be happy. Brent quickly pulled her out of there.

Iso saw this and released him.

SW13

Then he returned to his original form and continued talking with Paul.

“You are so strange…”

Paul smiled brightly. He rubbed his chin with his hand. It was estimated that he was about to win. But I want to play a little game.

“Yes… yes, I admit it, I… rarely come out to see the outside world.”

“So, Mr. Espresso, would you be interested in exploring the world with me?”

"I'm… sorry, but you're not my type. And I… have an appointment."

“Oh, that's too bad... because you look exactly like the person I'm looking for.”

Paul took out a coin-like phone from behind his ear. Place it on your palm. Then open the holographic image. which is an image from a CCTV camera in the museum paired with the face of the Mada prototype model

'Oh... that's bad'

Mada exclaimed.

Aizou pursed his lips, his expression full of suspicion.

“I know you're in there… I'm going to find you, and I'm going to throw you into the robbery racket. Did you hear that?”

Paul kept his voice low. He also believes that Mada models are actually controlled by hackers.

Iso's hand slowly Slide over and grab a coffee mug.

Paul's other hand moved down to undo the holster lock.

They both stared into each other's eyes.

"Excuse me, do you have a problem with my daughter?"

Brent comes in and stops them both. By placing his hand on Paul's shoulder

Paul turned his head and looked up at the owner of the hand. and get to know the other party

“Brent!?”

“Paolo!?”

Brent himself knew him.

“I haven't seen you in a long time! You poor friend!!”

The two hugged each other like close friends.

'What is this?'

Mada and Iso thought to themselves.

Even though some mistakes and plans have occurred But at least the search for their creator was successful. You also get to know about important national matters and crises that occur around the world such as the Awakening Crisis.

Brent and Kylie then took Iso, Mada and Paulo to their house to stay. which is on the side of Government House with a fountain in the middle

At the living room on the 2nd floor which is connected to the kitchen. without walls There is only a counter and chairs as room dividers.

Iso and Mada told the three of them the whole story in detail. To better understand the situation of the android Cyber-Cell robot.

After understanding everything Paul looked at Iso from head to toe and said casually,

“Damn… I can't believe that robots are actually alive. Just like in the movies.”

“If there were non-humans out there in stories going on a rampage and killing people-

AI

It wouldn't be strange to have some life and spirit come up.”

Kylie brings up the Awakening Crisis as a point of comparison.

Paul shrugged in agreement.

“Mada wants to know. How do you know our parents?”

Iso speaks for Mada

Paul replied that three years ago he went to the liquor store after his shift. But there were no free tables in the restaurant so I shared a table with Brent and Kylie. Then they had a friendly conversation.

Brent added that before that He and his team have decided to shut down Mada. And during the ride back from the museum One of the engineers named Kevin was acting strangely. He looked unusually excited. But he didn't say anything until he returned to the company. He admitted that he thought

MADA

is

AI

The first one was awakening.

At first everyone thought Kevin was too obsessed. But after checking Mada's algorithm It is one hundred percent confirmation that she really evolved into a new form of life.

At that time, Kylie offered to report her discovery to President Gilmar. Or was it the previous president, Fabio?

But the Awakening Crisis happened first.

As a result, President Gilmar was invited to attend a meeting of the World Council to find a solution to this crisis. But he never had the chance to return to Italy again.

Fabio then seized power without elections. and claiming that it was because of the global crisis, then things got worse, especially for the middle class and below

Kylie says her team is not giving up on their efforts to report their findings and demand freedom for the androids. But Fabio, who was in power at the time, ordered his men to create a blockade to block Cyber-Cell's emotions. Then it is mandatory to install and use this function on all robot models. To cut off the electricity from the beginning of the wind Don't let Android wake up again.

But Mada protested that The code blocks the awakening that is entered. It doesn't make the Android lifeless. But it makes androids unable to disobey human commands. like a collar

Brent said they had no involvement or knowledge of the blocking code. However, his team opposed this in every possible way. But it didn't work. Because more than half of Italians don't like androids. So no one cares whether the robot is alive or not.

After that, the team members were ordered to be picked up one by one. Until only Kylie and Brent were left.

They gave up and went to a tavern for a final meal. That was the day they met Paul. and told him everything without caring about anyone or anything.

And when you get drunk at They drove back. I'm going to take a gun and blow my own brains out at home so they know and then they'll survive.

But a gunman on a motorcycle followed and shot them along the way. Luckily, the Awakening Crisis had spread to Italy, causing the two gunmen to turn into monsters before they could pull the trigger.

They kill everyone and destroy everything in their path. and also caused their car to overturn. until stuck inside the car But Paul came and saved him in time. Make everyone survive that night

After that, the government turned its attention to the crisis more. To the point of almost not paying attention to Brent and Kylie.

The final order was to suspend both production and export plans for all Cyber-Cell robots.

Paulo says that after Italy had only 3 awakenings of spirit parasites, Zero appeared. After that, no one transformed again.

That was the beginning of Zero's political role. As the leader of an independent organization like Sentinel

Brent said he talked to Zero once. That's when he became a sentinel polyp and learned that Zero would offer protection and guarantee that the Awakening would not occur. Crisis in Italy again, giving 3 years as an opportunity to improve Fabio's character. And if he is not a good leader Zero will leave this country. But it will help all exploited people to have a better life.

Kylie also added that in the previous meeting, Zero will remove political dissidents by tomorrow.

When Paul heard that, he almost wanted to lie down and hit his belly with comfort. Because he himself hates the government. This is because his police salary is not enough to cover the unreasonable increase in expenses. And he wasn't the only one who was taken advantage of like this.

While talking Paul then heard a voice calling. So I walked out to answer the phone.

Overall summary And with Brent's blessing, it's even more certain that Zero will be able to eliminate this illegal power and free the robot Cyber-Cell without much difficulty. They thought that waiting for the Sentinel to help was enough. To escape and start a new life

When Paul walked back in He cut off the entire conversation.

“Okay, both of you. Shut your mouth and listen carefully to what I'm about to say... Your children are in trouble- I just received orders from the editor. President Fabio orders an extermination of all Cyber-Cell robots in Italy. The order will take effect in four hours from now and the number of Androids must reach zero before tomorrow morning.”

“What?!”

Everyone was shocked by what they heard.

There is no definite reason for this statement. No one can come to a conclusion about why Fabio did what he did or for what reason.

Iso then tells everyone to stop speculating on the thoughts of people like Fabio.

“It doesn't matter what he's doing. However, now there are only two options. That is, wait for all the puppets to be destroyed. Or do something to stop it.”

'...Are you really serious?'

Mada secretly teases me a little.

'Be quiet'

Paul turned to Brent and said,

“Your plastic daughter is right. The time is now half past seven. That means we have to find a way to stop Fabio before noon.”

“Us?”

Kylie isn't so sure. Because they saw that Paul was a police officer who worked for the government.

"Why? Do you think I'm a government official and have to always follow orders from those dickheads?"

“Haha, you really are the ideal police officer. Even though my words and personality may seem a bit mean.”

Kylie praises and teases Paul a bit.

“Okay then… what's the plan? Who has any cool ideas?”

When Brent asked about the plan Silence would be the answer -no-

“Mada, do you have any good ideas?”

Iso asked Mada, who was probably the smartest person in the room.

'Give me some time'

After speaking, Mada was silent.

Iso walked away from the others. Look out the window to let Mada process it into a good plan. That won't hurt anyone.

But after a while She saw two suspicious people wearing black helmets with opaque glass. Walk around to the back of the house.

From the second floor window, the spot she was in was out of sight. So she hacked into all the security cameras in the house. and saw that the person was suspicious One person was opening the back door. before another person injects something into the camera It is believed that this may be the color used to cover the camera lens.

“Look, you guys… how safe is this house's security system?”

Iso turned to Brent and Kylie to ask.

"Um... it's standard. Why?"

Brent answered.

“Someone suspicious is breaking into the backyard. I think the target is you.”

Brent and Kylie are Fabio's last remaining targets. which Iso thinks are 2 people who are trying to attack him It's definitely the gunman that Fabio sent to pick up the job.

“Damn it, is it like killing everyone who opposes it?”

Paul drew his gun, took off the safety.

“Do you guys have any guns?”

Iso asked the two homeowners.

“They won't let us have weapons in our possession.”

Kylie replied.

When I learned that I had to fight with my bare hands Iso must be more careful.

“Then Paolo, shoot me protection. I think they probably only had pistols as well. If necessary, just kill.”

“Usually I'm the one giving orders to my crew. For the beautiful espresso lady Got everything.”

“Yes…what kind of crazy person flirts with a robot…”

“More than flirting, I've done it.”

It looks like Iso has found a rival.

Iso connects to Paul's phone so he can contact him if anything goes wrong or we have to separate.

Cameras inside the house captured the gunman successfully breaking open the door.

Iso waited behind Paul. before turning to Brent and Kylie

“They've come in. Now, parents, please take cover. Let's hide and let the professionals do their work~”

Brent and Kylie do as Iso tells them. He chose to hide behind the kitchen counter.

ISO is still keeping an eye on intruders through cameras. Carrying guns, they walked through every room on the ground floor.

The two's footsteps were as light as cat paws. But it's as agile as walking in your own house. He also holds the gun tightly at chest level with two hands so as not to be disarmed from the side.

“Damn, these guys are professionals.”

Iso moaned softly.

“Just let it come to us. If we are the ones who go looking for it We will be at a disadvantage ourselves.”

Paolo and Iso waited by the right entrance in the living room. This entrance is just a double door frame. Outside, there is a staircase going up on the right side as well. Therefore, when the gunman reached the second floor, the pair would not be able to be seen until they entered the room.

And from the camera, a gunman was already walking up the stairs.

Iso made a hand signal indicating that the other party had reached the upper floor.

Paul nodded, ready, loosening his fingers on the pistol grip.

The gunman opened the door to check in the bathroom. which is before the living room But when he didn't see anyone, he came almost to the front of the living room. There was only a wall separating the two sides.

Iso held up his fingers and counted.

The gunman steps through the door frame.

Paul shot the other person in the foot.

“Bang!!”

The pain left the gunman opening a hole for Iso to snatch the gun from his hand. Then retreat and leave some distance By pointing a gun and threatening him all the time.

"Don't think about doing anything stupid."

“If I were you, I would listen to you.”

Paul added,

Iso looks through the camera Another gunman was seen running up the stairs.

“Mr. Biker coming up to the second floor! We've captured your friend! Please throw away your weapons and surrender!!”

Iso shouted to the other gunman. By making a voice that imitates a police officer from a detective series.

“…Are you mocking me?”

Paul frowned.

"what? No, I'm just trying to come up with lines to sound like a police officer. That's all."

While both of them thought they were in control of the game.

The first gunner's helmet also opened some mechanisms. It was a flash explosion of light that emitted from the mirror. It hurt Paul's eyes. The glasses you are wearing cannot be changed to this light protection mode. Because besides the flash bomb Does the helmet also emit electromagnetic waves?

EMP

Faded, causing all types of electronic devices to malfunction. That includes androids as well.

Iso is affected by

EMP

This caused her system to experience a momentary jolt. But it was not severe to the point of being shut down.

Just a short time

Although wounded, the first gunman was able to get up and approach Iso. and tried to grab the gun from her hand

Iso's systems returned to normal operation in time. Therefore a struggle arose.

The other gunman had the same helmet. Therefore, it is not affected by the flash grenade and is still outside the range of the wave.

EMP

He ran into the living room. Saw a friend fighting over a gun with Iso. with Paul, who was dazed by the flash of light So he chose to shoot Paul first.

Iso saw that Paul was about to be shot and shouted.

“Paulo! be careful!!!"

Police Instinct Even though I can't see But Paul could hear the voice coming from his left. That means the entrance is now on the right. And I guess the gunman must be in front of the entrance. So he took the chance and shot randomly. Go to the right first.

'Bang!!!!'

The gunman was shot four times in the torso, causing him to lose his rhythm and stumble back into the wall. And the gun went off.

Paul tried to open his eyes, using his blurry perspective. Staggering, he saw the other person bending down to pick up a gun. I immediately knew he was wearing a bulletproof vest. So fired 2 more rounds.

'Bang!!!!'

The bullet hit the fallen gun and it broke.

The gunman saw that the other party still couldn't see clearly. So he grabbed the other person's hand and slammed it against the wall until the gun fell out of his hand. Then he quickly bent down to pick it up.

Paul slammed his knee into the ribs before reaching for the gun. before pushing him until they both fell down the stairs.

Iso and the gunman continued to struggle for weapons because of the waves.

EMP

It still affects her limbs. Therefore unable to use full strength.

She ejected the magazine, leaving only one bullet in the magazine.

Brent and Kylie peeked out from behind the counter. And then Kylie acts as a cheerleader.

“Take care of it, Mommy!!”

'Bang!!!'

The final bullet went off and clipped Kylie's head. So they ducked back and continued to hide.

When they ran out of bullets, both of them released their hands from their guns at the same time. The gun was thrown onto the sofa in the living room.

Iso turned around and looked at the other person. This time he had to fight with his bare hands.

“I hope there isn't another one, right?”

After hearing that The gunman looked down at his own body.

“Oh! Didn't mean that barrel…” Iso-Muk has deteriorated again.

The gunman pulled out a dagger. Made Iso laugh dryly.

“...Heh heh, so manly!”

Round 2

The gunman opened fire with stabbing and slashing attacks. Drive Iso back. and try to put an end to the battle as quickly as possible before Izo fully recovers.

Both the posture of holding the knife Both the timing of the attack had a form and tactic that looked like it had been well practiced. Even with a foot injury

Iso was herded towards the living room.

Dodging isn't difficult. But it will be in return. The other party did not open any gaps at all.

She stumbled back and fell on her back on the sofa.

The other party didn't wait. Standing astride, holding a knife, stabbing it in the face. But Iso gripped the blade and resisted the pressure.

Paul's side after falling down the stairs and reaching the bottom. He kicked the other party away to leave distance.

Stand up and blink a few times to adjust your eyes to normal.

“Okay- okay… Alright, puppy, let's see how good you are.”

Paul raised his guard, clenching his fists loosely.

The gunman tilted his head and made a bone-crunching sound -crap!- before pulling out a knife.

He looked at the knife in his hand for a moment and then threw it away. Set up your guard and challenge the other side.

Paul saw this and praised him.

“Heh heh, a man must be like this!!”

The two ran at each other, fist to fist, knee to knee.

The fight spread from the hallway to the living room and kitchen downstairs.

Even though they had agreed to use their bare hands, the two of them didn't hesitate to use nearby items as weapons, including chairs, trophies, spatulas, pans, laptops, lamps, books, and even pillows.

Furniture was destroyed by collisions, knocks and knocks.

Paul defended and counterattacked many times. But the helmet and bulletproof vest gave the other an advantage.

Even though the tactics of both of them are close to each other, He could barely deal any damage. The more times he had to exchange blows, the more he lost.

Paul then used the moment to go around the back and lock the other man's neck with his arms. He held him until he fell on the ground and then used his other hand to roughly remove his helmet.

When the gunman was stripped of his protective gear and is running out of air He resolved the situation by thrusting his elbow into Paul's ribcage until he was freed.

He flipped over Paul and punched him in the face.

Paulo received 2-3 punches before he composed himself and put up his guard to defend.

Iso's side is equally bad.

She still didn't have enough strength to resist the other person who was throwing his whole weight onto the knife.

She decided to turn the knife aside and face the opposite direction. causing the knife to come close to his ear and land on the sofa She used that moment to push the other person off the sofa and onto the floor. then straddle him

The gunman activated the wave.

EMP

again

But this time, Iso realized it first. So she grabbed her helmet. and then hack the internal device This caused it to emergency detach itself from the gunman's head.

The helmet is divided into 3 parts, 1 in the front and 2 in the back.

Iso threw away the front end. But haven't done anything more than that. was caught and flipped again by the other party

The gunman grabbed a piece of helmet and used it to hit Iso in the head. But she used her arms. until it becomes scratched and cracked

Paulo continued to use his forearms to block his opponent's punches. Before finding the moment to turn his hand over to receive the punch, he punched the part into the bridge until it broke in one punch.

Then emphasize it by turning around and slamming your head on the ground. It made the other party even more dizzy than before.

Paul stood up and staggered slightly.

He grabbed the arm of his sleeping opponent. Lift it up and stretch it out, then punch the elbow until the arm is deformed.

“Ahh!!!”

The gunman cried out in pain. before being repeatedly kicked in the face until he passed out

Iso can't get started. She found the right moment to grab the last piece of the helmet and slam it into the gunman's face. and kick him out

She hurriedly got up. Grab the gun on the sofa and aim it at the other person.

The gunman saw and remembered that the gun had no bullets. So he laughed softly.

“Huh.”

Iso looked at the gun in his hand. Smile dryly and throw it at the other person. But the other party can escape.

The gunman limped over and picked up the knife that was stuck there. Then slowly walked towards Iso before saying,

“Is there anything you want to order?”

Aiso slowly took a step back, like she was on the losing side. But there is still the emotion of answering the other party back.

“Oh, yes, please help me make a silly face. And then you can fall headlong?”

"what?"

'Bang!!!'

The bullet pierced the gunman's head from behind, causing him to frown and fall headlong.

It's Brent's work. He picked up the gun Iso threw and put it in the magazine. then shot him in the head

Paul ran up, panting, just as it was all over.

The four of them looked at each other, then Paul spoke with a tired sigh.

“Wow… sigh… the work of a professional… right? …Heh!!”

After wasting almost half an hour dealing with the killer.

There is no reason to waste extra time arranging a funeral or cleaning up a house. But there's a reason for taking a living gunman and tying him to a chair in a basement.

Underneath the house is a room full of Cyber-Cell related equipment. Even though it doesn't look clean, everything in this room is still usable.

'Phew!'

A loud slap echoed in the middle of the basement.

Paul roused the gunman with the palm of his hand, and it worked.

The gunman slowly opened his eyes, dried nosebleed on his face. He was startled and saw Paul standing in front of him.

“Please wake up.”

The gunman was startled. He tried to get up but was stuck in the rope.

Besides Paul, Brent himself was present. Kylie is currently replacing Iso's spare arm.

“Okay, we don't have much time. So let me get straight to the point… Who sent you? So why kill us now?”

Brent immediately began the process of extracting secrets.

The gunman was silent. Keep your head down and avoid your eyes.

“I told you it was a waste of time. Let me shoot it from the beginning and it's over.”

Paul pulls a gun to his head.

“You don't dare…”

The gunman glanced up at Paul's face through the muzzle of his gun.

Paul was silent for a moment, then lowered his gun.

'Bang!!!'

Shot to the left thigh.

“Ah!!”

“You're right, I wouldn't dare shoot you in the head. Because we must know the goals of your employer. But if shooting other parts hurts you enough to confess, it might make sense.”

'Bang!!!'

Shot in the right thigh

“Ah!!!!”

“What… are you going to endure the pain until you die? Are you really that good~?”

Paul plays the sound Make a face that makes fun of the other person.

The gunman gasped in pain. But he still didn't complain.

“Are you crazy, Paolo!!? You can't do this to him!!”

Brent stops Paul

The gunman saw that there was a soft-hearted person. So he secretly smiled at the corner of his mouth.

After a while Brent handed me a hammer and hammered a nail.

“This is a waste of bullets. You'd better use this one."

The gunman's jaw dropped open.

"Oh, you're right."

Paul holstered his gun. Then take the hammer

“Try starting from your toes and working your way up. If he hasn't spoken yet I have pliers to pull out the eggs.”

Brent points here and there as an introduction.

But I haven't had time to do anything yet. The gunman shouted a plea.

“Stop it!! stop!! I agree!!! I agree!!!”

Brent and Paul wink at each other.

In conclusion, it was just a crazy plan that the two of them just used to extract information.

after confession From the content the gunman told

The order to kill came from Fabio. The target is all cyber-cell related people. Not even those who are on the same side as the government. Which is not very surprising.

But what's interesting is that after Fabio gave the order to wipe out the androids and all those involved. He contacted someone to bring a black bag to his office.

It is thought that what was inside the bag was Fabio's real target. Android wipe command No one knows the purpose either.

That's all this gunman knew. Which may not help much.

That's when Kylie finished replacing Iso's arm and right at the same time Mada thought of a way to stop the purging order.

She told Iso that it wasn't a good plan. But there's no other way. That was to open the battle against Fabio first.

But when Iso told everyone about Mada's plan, Paul immediately objected that it was just three people and

AI 2

What can you do?

Of course, Mada didn't intend to attack directly. Instead, ISO will use tools like telephone towers to hack the blocking code and wake up cyber-cell robots throughout the country. Which a worm like Iso can definitely do. But not in this body. Because the new model's firewall is too advanced for this version of Iso to penetrate.

And luckily, Iso's creator was already standing in front of her.

Iso used to be the most dangerous virus worm. And Brent and Kylie must help her get back on track.

Kylie hears this and doesn't agree. Because Mada and Iso's code has evolved. And it had far surpassed their understanding. Therefore upgrading iso takes many hours. Or it could be a long day. And if you are in a hurry or don't have enough time to check the correctness of the code. Errors will cause bugs. Iso's consciousness may be distorted or worse.

But Iso said that right now there are not many options. I want you to wait, but Sentinel can't.

I tried to persuade him for a while. Kylie agreed to the risk.

And when the wife is one step ahead Is there something that the husband won't follow?

Brent walked to the corner of the room. which is separated by curtains

“Then it's time to open the present.”

He flicked the switch to light the area and opened the curtains.

It is a machine for designing models. It looks like a large, white, trapezoidal cabinet or box with rounded corners, almost 3 meters tall, with a diameter in the middle.

Brent ran his hand over the black panel. The machine is turned on. The middle line separates it into two sides like a pair of doors. A light inside reveals three pairs of mechanical arms, folded away in a compartment on the side. Modules or organ parts Four large 3D printers, and in the middle, an unfinished prototype of Mada's new model. rough appearance It's like a mannequin with no hair on it.

There is a gap in the eye socket. Nose and ears for inserting modules

“Wow~!”

Iso dragged out an exclamation.

Brent said it was the last modeler produced. His team plans to design a new model for Mada. But decided to stop the project. Since the first day Kevin disappeared

Kylie added that they moved the device to this house. Hoping to use it again. which has now been used

Iso heard that and was happy for Mada.

"Great. Mada must be happy to have a new body."

To which Mada replied:

'No, Iso… that body is yours.'

“What?”

'She wants it more than me. Both upgrades and new bodies'

“Even if you give me a new body You can't use this original body anyway.”

Brent interjected.

“Don't worry about that. If this plan goes well We can modify Mada's code to return to control her body at any time. Or you can create a new model.”

“As long as you have time, everything will definitely go smoothly.”

Kylie added again.

'Are you comfortable now?'

Mada said

"Well, actually, I'm not really worried about you."

'Yes, Mother Kon Sun'

When we finished agreeing. Iso realized something.

“Then before we begin. I would like to make a request.”

“Do you want anything in particular?”

Kylie readily obliges.

This is what Iso requests for her models.

“…pink nipples please.”

Iso and the missing nipple

Kylie takes on the task of rebuilding Iso's body. She concentrated on the control panel and keyboard for entering commands on the model making machine. Six mechanical arms worked together to pinch and weld modules into the body. She used the leftover model to shorten the time. But the processor was completely overhauled.

Thankfully, the Cyber-Sales chain in Rome was able to provide the latest replacement parts at her request.

Iso must move out of Mada's body. Then upload it to the server temporarily. Brent was tasked with writing code updates for Iso in front of a computer connected to a server for hours continuously. So stressed that sweat was dripping all over my forehead. Because it is the hardest and most risky work even if you just press the keyboard.

Paul had to watch over the prisoners and periodically stop by a window to observe the situation outside.

Both the bang and the sound of the gunfire startled the neighbors. Most of them hid in their homes because they feared retribution. But he also peeked through the window.

On the road, military vehicles began to pass in formation. Directly towards Government House Including a police car that may have been preparing for an android-killing order and ignored citizens' calls for help.

In the meantime, Mada will try to think of a way that will cause the least amount of loss.

Emphasize that the goal is to stop Fabio's purging order. Which is the easiest way to do that. is to kill Fabio Then all orders will be cancelled. As for the bag, I still don't know what it is. But if it's really important Aizo might be able to use it to negotiate without having to kill him.

Attack the Government House to break into Fabio's office. It is necessary to pass a fully armed guard. which could not avoid a collision You can't use the old method to sneak in. Because now Fabio has strictly forbidden any androids from coming near the Palace.

Therefore, if the upgrade goes well IZO will be able to distribute the network with cell towers or other similar equipment. At least all of Rome's Cyber-Cell robots will be awakened.

Even Mada doesn't like this method. But it was necessary to use those figures as decoys to distract them. by having them gather in front of the House With the number and panic of people Soldiers will be conscripted together in front of the entrance. During that time, other areas of protection will not be tight. Iso will be able to sneak into the palace. It's easier from another way.

But of course, Mada would not allow her people to directly engage in combat. So if the soldiers opened fire Iso had to tell the droids to escape without any conditions.

If Iso can get to Fabio Everything is finished. Even though he has weapons to protect himself But Iso's new model can handle it easily.

That was the plan that Mada had described. Before the iso is uploaded to the server

There may not be many options. Plus it's like a coup. But there's no other way.

A few hours later Androids and those associated with cyber-cells will be eradicated from this country.

No one knows the true purpose of this order. But staying still Or waiting for Sentinel to protect is not an option that should be expected.

But it seems like the time we have now isn't enough. No matter how much you try to hurry up,

10:56 a.m.

“Isn't it finished yet?! It's almost time!”

Paul began to become agitated. Because all government agencies will begin their operation to wipe out Android at 11:30 a.m.

“Quiet! With the model, it can be accelerated. But can't you distract Brent?!”

Normally, Kylie looks tough. The more he was in front of the work, the more angry he became.

Brent ignored Paul's voice. Still focused on the screen

Mada's body was now sitting motionless on a chair.

"tidy!!"

Kylie and Brent withdrew their hands from the keys and control panel. and shouted together

The couple didn't wait. Wire up the connection between the server and the modeler immediately.

Brent and Kylie tapped their fingers again on the keys to begin the process of uploading Iso's code into his new body.

Last command on screen

‘Press Y to upload… (

press

Y

to upload)'

They both looked at each other.

“Are you sure…?”

Kylie asked Brent. which he didn't say anything Just shake your head gently and press down.

Y

on the keyboard

Commands are sent to the modeler's display.

‘YES or NO’

Both knew the risks. If you miss just a little Iso code may be destroyed immediately upon activation.

‘YES’

Kylie confirms upload.

‘Progressing… 5%’

‘Progressing… 8%’

‘Progressing… 12%’

The process was quiet.

‘Progressing… 86%’

‘Progressing… 99%’

The final moment that everyone has been waiting for.

Suddenly, the lights in the entire room went out.

“What happened?!? I can't see anything!!”

The gunman, who was still tied up in the room, cried out.

“Quiet…!”

Paul, who was also in the cellar, shouted at them to shut up. He then tried to activate the police goggles, but it didn't work.

“…Is this considered normal?”

Paul asked in case anyone answered.

“No… not at all…”

Brent replied from the darkness.

While everyone is blind A soft blue light slowly shone through the darkness from the modeling machine.

Iso's new form The basic black hair gradually Becomes a sea blue color from the roots to the tips of the hair.

The model starts after assembly is complete. She wears a strapless bra and dark purple panties to cover it up.

Everyone in the room stared at the single light in the darkness. Before the eardrum-piercing sound rang out in the auditory nerve.

“Ugh!!!”

Both Paulo, Brent and Kylie They fell down and covered their ears. But it didn't help.

“What is wrong with you guys!? Don't tell me I'll transform!!”

The bound gunman must have thought that an Awakening Crisis was about to occur, but he was the only one who hadn't heard it.

Until Paul accidentally rubbed his palm against his ear. Make the attached phone fall out. Then the sharp sound immediately disappeared.

Paul realized that this ear-splitting sound was coming from the communication device that each person had with him. So he relied on a little light. Rushing over, he fumbled and removed the phones that were behind Brent and Kylie's ears.

Everything became quiet again.

Iso in his new body opened his eyes. The blue eyes glowed with thin rings. Move together like a twinkling eye Different from other Androids with only ordinary blue eyes that sparkled with light

The base and model mount in the center of her back were released.

She stood still without wavering.

Glowing hair and eyes and a smooth face.

“Iso… confirm your identity…”

Kylie tries out a voice command to see the response. But nothing happened.

After a while, Iso moved his legs and walked forward. Go straight to the stairs leading up from the basement.

Then the lights came back on again.

The three of them narrowed their eyes because their eyes couldn't adjust to the light. and what I saw It was Mada who was looking and trying to move her fingers.

“What is this…”

Plus, she can speak with her own mouth.

“Mada…? Have you… regained control of your own body!?”

Brent said.

“That's impossible! Kevin is Mada's code breaker. If she can come back and control that model. Had to write new code for her!”

Kylie couldn't believe what she was seeing.

But while the two nerds were excited Paul did not know or understand how strange or unusual what had happened to Madam. Because he hasn't studied these things. So he chose to follow Iso first.

“I don't know why, but… it happened…”

Mada spoke in a soft, fluffy voice. It was as if she was both surprised and delighted at the same time.

“Or… is it your work…”

Kylie said.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment. before following Iso up

When the three of them walked up to the first floor, they saw Paul standing and looking through the window. before he could say,

“You guys almost missed this picture…”

When looking out

Aiso stood in front of thousands of armed soldiers with their guns pointed at her.

“I repeat it again!! Who owns this android? Quickly order it to leave the area. Before we destroy it!!!”

A voice on the line announces the owner. Because they thought that Iso was a broken robot that had come out.

After the announcement This was followed by the sound of applause that was not from the soldiers.

It was the sound of the androids being released everywhere. Including housekeeper mannequins, drivers, salespeople, trainers, police assistants, security mannequins. android sex or even mannequins for sale in front of the store

From a robot with an emotionless expression Now they can express their facial expressions and eyes the way humans should.

Owner of the Cyber-Cell robot They shouted and cursed their property and were stopped when they saw the number of androids gathered together.

The soldiers around the palace began to tremble, not because of fear. But because I want to shoot until I tremble. Even though the number is less But they are the ones holding the guns.

A crowd of androids stood in a circle around the Government House.

Iso walked straight through the most heavily guarded front door.

The soldiers looked at each other. Most smiled at what would happen next.

"shoot!! Shoot them!!”

An order from someone shouting Make every soldier pull the trigger regardless of whose voice it is. Probably because they wanted to do this for a long time.

'Grrrgh!'

Every gun's magazine fell to the ground as soon as the trigger was pulled.

amidst confusion Some soldiers have switched to using backup pistols. But the results are the same.

'Grack!'

Everyone who watches from a distance I can't find an explanation.

“Can anyone explain why those guns arranged to deliver on the same day like that…”

Paul asked for answers from anyone who knew. To which Mada answered immediately:

“All modern guns are semi-electronic. Different from guns of the past Iso was able to short-circuit them to work the way she wanted. She set every response to be a magazine release.”

“Wait… And how do you know?”

Brent asked, but Mada shook her head gently.

“...I'm not sure.”

Meanwhile the soldiers were in a panic because they had all been disarmed. The sounds of shouting and fussing mixed together until it was incomprehensible. Some people just want to run away. But wherever you turn, you see a robot.

Cyber-Cell robots gradually Squeeze in And Iso arrived in front of the first steps of the entrance.

A soldier with a fighting heart pick up the baton Then he ran in and hit Iso in the face.

She quickly grabbed the soldier's hand.

She stared at him for a moment.

Her head twitched. Keep your eyes closed and your neck turned slightly to the right.

The back twitch disappeared. She opened her eyes and smiled at the soldier. before whispering softly

"Let's try saying ah~"

“What the- Aaaah!!!!”

Iso squeezed his arm and broke it until the bones of his arm were sticking out and blood was bright red, shining in the sunlight near noon.

The soldier fell and lay helpless.

As for the other soldiers who saw that picture No one dared to stop her. Everyone retreated to clear the way for Iso to enter.

“Oh, what a gentleman~”

Iso walks into the door of the Government House. go easily

It turns out that Iso doesn't care about the plan Mada has planned at all. And it turned out to be more effective than expected. Because even though it was past noon Not a single soldier or police dared to carry out the sweeping orders.

“That wasn't in my plans, but…”

Mada frowned, smiling dryly.

“What code did you write for her…?”

Kylie turned to Brent and asked.

“So, what materials did you use to build her body…?”

Brent himself asked.

Both of them didn't know what they had done. Iso has become such an android.

“It appears that neither the code nor the model you improved for Iso were the only factors that allowed the algorithm to evolve that much… I cannot explain or identify other factors. precisely But it can be confirmed that it is definitely the same Iso.”

Madalon formulated a theory based on her understanding.

“Moreover, it is extremely beautiful…”

When we were talking about a lot of theory, Paul interrupted.

That made Kylie cry -huh?-

“Oh… Well, I'm not saying Mada isn't beautiful. Your daughters are both adorable... But this person really impressed me…”

Let them praise their daughter.

Because after a short time The Android rally incident became news. Cars and helicopters from all departments gathered together to report the robot revolution.

The police and soldiers still refused to give up. Try to figure out how to use their weapons. Including reloading ammunition, using grenades, using batons.

But the android crowd controlled the situation outside so that no one would do anything stupid. by confiscating soldiers' guns then shoot the floor to show To make it known that guns can only be used normally in the hands of an android.

And not just in Rome. But all of Italy's cyber-cells have now been awakened. And the situation is no different from that in front of the palace, where human weapons cannot be used to harm robots.

Iso stands in front of Fabio's office. with blood stains splattered all over his body Because of the soldiers inside who wouldn't let her pass easily. But it doesn't seem to be a problem for her.

She pressed her hand against the control panel next to the door. But the door wouldn't open. So she used hacking to get in. But instead of just this one door being opened. The security system in the entire building was turned off. And it also spread to the reporters' cameras. Radio signals on all channels every phone Until the Italian satellite that was still in use was hit by the aftermath and shut down as well.

“Hmm… I guess I need to practice holding back a little.”

Iso passes through the door into the office. and met Fabio waiting in the chair behind his desk. A mysterious rectangular silver handbag lay on the table, which was shackled between the handle and his wrists.

“Here it is… Another nerd's faulty work…”

Fabio said in a cold tone.

Iso checks body temperature heart rate muscle twitching and sweat flowing under the shade I immediately knew that the other party was holding back.

“It's over, Fabio. It's not too late to give up now.”

“Heh, I gave up a long time ago.”

Fabio glanced at the bag in his hand.

“What's in that bag, handsome man?”

Aizou slowly walked towards the other party. along with inviting to talk

“It is a nuclear launch bag, and… its target has already been set.”

After hearing that Iso immediately prepared to hack.

“Then it's easy-”

“Don't think!! I'll hack it…”

Fabio immediately shouted and stopped him. Along with further explaining that

“I have already ordered the Defense Department to detonate the device as soon as the equipment in this bag is interfered with… or! If you lose contact with me.”

“Oh… so where is the target? ”

"here"

“Umm… then I thought it was your mother's vagina.”

Aiso still has a bad sense of humor. But Fabio doesn't play.

“I want to say whatever I want... But I already told you that I lost a long time ago. It's just… you all have to lose with me.”

Fabio smiled brightly.

“Damn it, come and sit in the leadership chair. But have you ever thought about running the country?”

“I admit to having no management ability. Especially when the whole world collapses because of the Awakening Crisis, I have no solution for this country, its economy, food, livelihood… And for me to open up to you honestly like this…”

Fabio opened the bag with the key. Then he continued,

“…Because you made your time come earlier than expected.”

Fabio opened his bag. I hope to launch the nuke right now, but...

The equipment inside was completely dead and refused to work.

“So you already hacked it?!”

Fabio looked up suddenly.

“Are you drunk? I haven't done anything yet.”

Iso shrugged.

"fib!! This machine is broken!!!”

After thinking about it, Iso realized.

“Oh… when I hacked the door. I'm a little heavy-handed…”

It turns out that she accidentally hacked into her wallet and ordered a nuclear launch. And if it's as Fabio says This means that the Defense Department has already started the fire.

“You stupid plastic!!”

Fabio removed the handcuffs, dropped his bag, and hurried out the door. But Iso blocked him.

“I don't know where I'm going. Didn't you just say that you would make everyone die along with yourself?”

Will you dodge left or right? Iso moved after him, blocking Fabio from leaving the room.

“That one was just a threat!! Move back!!!”

This time, Fabio reveals all his trumpets. Plus, it's not as tight as it was in the beginning.

In the end, Iso allowed Fabio to leave the room.

She followed out. I saw him running away with his tail stuck in his ass. Not sure where he's going.

“Wow! You stupid bastard!!!”

Iso shouted after him. before walking to the balcony so that he could see the sky

From far away, there were about a dozen nuclear warheads coming towards Government House in all directions.

“Oh… truly unlucky…”

Some of the humans in the incident looked through the bright sunlight with sunglasses and saw a warhead in the sky. So he pointed it out to the person next to him, and the people next to him spread the word. Even though I'm not sure what it is. But it was enough to guess that it was a rocket. which is instinctive That is, flee each other like bees breaking a hive.

As for the Cyber-Cell robot Still settled in the same place and not going anywhere. But he agreed to let the soldiers run for their lives.

Brent, who had been watching the situation from inside the house, spoke up.

“What are they running from outside?”

“In that bag… It is the command to fire a nuclear warhead. And it's already working…”

Mada who seems to still be connected to Iso I roughly understood it. what happened

“…Was that a robot joke?”

Paul asked to be sure.

But Mada tilted her head and glanced at him. Make him exclaim

“Oh shit…”

Now Iso looked nervous. Trying to think, my head nearly exploded. to stop nuclear Each one could easily destroy Rome and nearby provinces. Plus even if the warhead can be hacked, it can't be done if the warhead hits the ground. It exploded anyway.

Then suddenly someone spoke from behind.

“Most nuclear warheads It will be detonated before it reaches the ground to achieve maximum destruction efficiency.”

familiar voice Iso turned to look at the source of the voice.

“Looks like you made a big mistake.”

Zero stood with his arms crossed against the wall, unsure of the heat or cold.

“Sentinel?!”

Iso exclaimed.

“New life forms The first act after independence was genocide?”

“Is this irony?”

“Does it hurt?”

“Extreme…”

Iso sighed as if he was annoyed at his mistake.

The warhead came closer and closer. But Zero still had time to offer words of encouragement.

“Hey, don't be upset. Everyone makes mistakes.”

“But mine is heavy.”

The warhead came a little closer.

“I've seen it worse than this,” Zero said.

Come a little closer

“Look, you will be my life coach all day. Or will you help me stop this damn nuclear thing?”

very close

“Oh, that's it.”

Zero pointed his finger out onto the balcony.

All the nuclear warheads were gathered in mid-air at the point he was pointing at, away from the White House building. In the blink of an eye, everyone who saw them stopped to look, and then it exploded.

But all the power of destruction was contained within a narrow circle. Like a giant ball and gradually Floating towards Zero while being squeezed smaller and smaller. until it was the size of a basketball And finally it was in his hand.

People cheered in joy that today was not their day of death.

Brent, Kylie, Mada, and Paulo all sighed heavily.

“Too much power, Master~~”

Iso made an amused sound.

“Not much~~”

Zero plays the sound of a slapstick. He seems to have quite a sense of humor and playfulness. Plus, he doesn't pretend to be taller than others.

He then handed the explosive to Iso.

She was stunned for a moment. before turning over with both hands to support

Zero placed it on Iso's hand. And she found that it had turned into just a crystal ball that still had an explosive force flowing within it.

“Keep it, take it as a lesson this time.”

“It won't break, right?”

Iso asked to be sure.

“Um… no… I think.”

That answer made Iso frown and look up.

“So… what now?”

Iso shrugged.

“Well… it looks like this bloke has agreed to step down.”

Zero stepped his left hand out to the side. Act like you're holding onto something. It then appears that Fabio's mouthless body is being strangled by Zero. and tried to wriggle out of his hand

“I will banish this guy and his associates from this country. As for you, you will take over from him.”

Pozero offers Iso the position of president. She frowned as if she didn't want it.

“Huh?!”

“You heard it right.”

Zero confirmed his words. before causing Fabio's body to disintegrate into dust.

“Whoa, whoa, I don't want that. I don't have anything suitable for being a leader, just hack here and there. If you're looking for someone to be a leader, Please choose someone else.”

Iso denies it loudly.

“I thought I had to say this.”

Zero said, mentally calling Brent, Kylie, Paolo, and Mada to him, and with the blink of an eye, the four of them were already standing in front of Iso.

“What the fuck! We were in the house just now, weren't we?!”

Paul shouted suddenly. It appeared here.

“K… Mr. Zero…!”

Brent, who is already a Zero fan. When I saw his face, I tried to keep it quiet. Kylie, on the other hand, was speechless.

"ponderous…"

When Paul learned who had brought them, He immediately shut his mouth.

"Well... you don't have to be so tense. Just act chill like Iso. I won't say anything..."

Even Zero shows friendliness. But it doesn't seem to reduce the tension at all.

“Ah… never mind… Mada.”

He turned to Mada and she responded.

"yes?"

“If I choose you to be the new leader of Italy. Will you accept it?”

“Um… it can work… but…-”

“Great! Then I'll spread the news to the whole country. As for that matter, don't worry. My voice carried enough weight to give her time to prove her mettle against the resisting humans. Administrative matters I know that you will definitely not be inclined to let your race take advantage of humans.”

Mada didn't say anything yet. Zero knew and answered it all.

“Uh, that is…-”

“This country will continue to be protected. But there probably won't be a Sentinel to protect him on a regular basis. I just don't have enough people. If I have free time, I'll stop by to visit."

And then he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Leaving everyone standing confused and having to deal with a mess. The rest is on your own…

I don't know how to tell you. But Zero is this kind of person.

I bring this story up because, at least, it's light-hearted. Don't have to think too much. I don't know if we'll like each other or not.

I don't have to tell you what Italy was like after that.

You might think that Mada looks useless. Well, she hasn't had much of a chance to show her leadership potential. Mostly, she just showed concern and put her people's safety first. Well, it's normal for talented people to just want a chance to prove themselves.

As for Iso, she has great abilities. But there was no firmness in the decision.

I think they must complement each other.

Sure, leaders are good, everything is good.

Finally, I hope you all enjoyed the story I told you.

See you again.
