by fnovelpiaJihye also came out before I knew it and told me to go inside the house, and after confirming that I was inside, she watched the scene with a stern expression.
I understood that they locked me inside the house because they expected a tragedy that a child should not see.
Even if I were an adult, I wouldn’t let a child hear something human-like begging for its life or screaming in evil while being tortured.
This is a situation where trauma can occur even in adults.
I think there is a high possibility that even this person, who is a complete coward, will faint beyond the point of being startled when he sees that sight.
But still, I wanted to see it.
It is said that there are psychotic people who enjoy executing biobots that they have only read about on the Internet.
It is said to be a similar reaction to the crowd enjoying an execution ceremony in the old Colosseum, and depending on the personality of the biobot, it is said that it enjoys seeing numerous reactions.
Is this world really such a cruel place?
What choice will the man who makes it clear that he doesn’t want to make it clear ultimately chooses?
I tried opening the window and the front door, but it still wouldn’t open.
I thought there might be a gap, but as expected, all the open doors in the house were locked, so they couldn’t be opened, but I ran to the door connected to the garage.
Although there is no door directly connecting the garage to the house, there is still something like a conveyor belt that moves light loads into the house.
It was literally a small conveyor belt, but there was enough room for a small child to fit in.
I ran right away and went into the small conveyor belt hole in the wall.
The inside of the place was darker than I expected, but it was clean and free of dust, and there were no dangerous devices, so I was able to quickly escape through there toward the garage.
“Ta-da!”
“Ta-da.”
?
what?
As I straightened my back, which had been bent to get out of the narrow space, I looked up and saw Doldol looking down at me with a slightly proud expression.
“How did you know!”
“The conveyor belt is equipped with a sensor.”
aha!
There is no place in this house that is not equipped with sensors!
“Then are you here to catch me?”
“… ”
I thought I was going to get caught and go home now, but Doldori’s attitude was lukewarm to the point where I thought he was trying to stop me.
Isn’t that why he doesn’t answer when I ask him if he’s come to get me, but instead seems to be lost in thought?
“Why do you want to watch that show so much? The destruction of something human-like does not have a positive effect on your psyche. There will definitely be problems due to bad influence.”
“I still want to see you.”
“Why? for what reason? Simple curiosity? To prevent it?”
“If I can stop it, I will.”
“The biobot is already the man’s private property. You are unstoppable. You can’t borrow my power. The reason why not everyone there can come forward. However, if you intentionally damage the biobot in front of people, you can be held guilty, but you cannot come forward until then.”
Doldol hesitates and then speaks.
“The important thing is your safety and living a peaceful life like now.”
“I am not a combat-type bio bot. It is nearly impossible to completely subdue a strong adult male with this size, and unless the opponent has the intention of hurting you, you cannot step forward. Even more so if the opponent makes the justification that they are repairing biobots. This may be an incident that will greatly hurt you.”
“I don’t know what’s difficult. But the important thing is not just living a peaceful and safe life for myself.”
I put my hands on my hips and snorted.
“What’s really important is a life that I don’t regret!”
Humans are social animals.
Just because I am wealthy and lives well does not mean I am a happy creature.
If I am wealthy but my family is having a hard time, I will feel sad. If my friend is having a hard time, I will feel bad too.
I don’t know if the world is gloomy, but my friends and I should be happy together.
“Let’s go!”
Doldol didn’t stop me.
No, there would have been no intention to stop it in the first place.
Doldori saw me as just a child and did not think that he had to protect me unconditionally.
Avoiding Jihye, who was staring at the street with a stiff face, we climbed over the fence behind us and hid in the alley, watching the man.
If I ran to stop it now, there was a close to 99% chance that Ji-hye would catch me again and let me into the house.
Right timing!
The man in the middle of the street was now in tears, but no one cared.
no.
There was only one person who cared about it.
“Sad?”
His lover cautiously reached out and stroked the corners of his eyes.
The man’s hands were shaking so much that he could no longer hold the hammer properly.
“Are you scared?”
The man didn’t answer.
But his expression and trembling hands clearly reflected his feelings.
Naturally, the response in the hologram chat window was busy cursing the man.
It was said that if it dragged on like this, everyone would miss it, and these days, advertisements don’t take this much time.
[Quickly hit him on the head and make him lie down]
[Time is so fucking slow, you idiot]
[Mansu, are you ruining it again haha]
[Mansu, although there were many people who said Mansu’s broadcast was too boring and uninteresting, I enjoyed Mansu’s broadcast because it felt like watching a friend’s life. But making this choice because of money feels like giving up something important as a human being.]
Occasionally, there was a chat that seemed to be trying to stop a man named Mansu, but it was immediately suppressed.
Because they were a very small minority and the people who wanted this situation were the absolute majority.
A man named Mansu becomes increasingly influenced by their whispers.
[Okay, blah blah blah, just live your life like a hakko. When I watched the Mutube video, I lived like a beggar with no money, but I couldn’t take the opportunities that came my way and lived like that for the rest of my life]
The man named Mansu eventually took action, perhaps because of the chat.
He roughly pushed his bio-bot, which was gently cupping his cheek, knocking it over and pushing it away with his foot.
The biobot seemed to have lost all of its strength right before it touched the body, so although the biobot fell, it didn’t seem to be hit.
Did you kick it hoping it would hurt you?
Rather than that, the man named Mansu seemed to want the other person to run away from the kick.
Before he knew it, the Bio-bot’s clothes were dirty and soaked in the puddles created by the drizzle, but the Bio-bot didn’t seem to care.
However, the chat window began to cheer at the sight of his violent appearance for the first time.
[Okay, it’s finally starting]
[It’s a Korean broadcast, but there are more foreigners than Koreans haha]
[Global Hakko Long Live ㄷㄷ]
[I guess it’s because the breakup shows haven’t been going well these days? There’s a lot of talk these days about crossing the challenge line.]
“Do you love me?”
[What kind of love is this situation lol]
[Is it already broken?]
It was a word that did not fit the situation.
Even if the biobot was only recently created, it had some level of knowledge, so it would have no choice but to know what the situation was right now, even if it didn’t want to know.
But at the word love, the hammer raised above my head stopped again.
Regardless of the criticism in the chat window, his lover talked about love.
“Now I think I know what love is.”
[Is this your first time seeing a story like this?]
[I’ve seen a lot of people begging for their lives or being overcome by evil, but this is refreshing.]
[It’s already touching to hear the biobot break its head saying it loves it]
“I don’t know if I was programmed that way, but I think I loved you the moment I first saw you.”
As my lover continued to speak, the hammer in my hand began to tremble.
“Now I know.”
“You said that too, right?”
Did she really not understand this situation?
Because it really hasn’t been that long since you were born?
no.
It wasn’t like that.
She understood this whole situation.
He soon realized that he was destined to become a lump of scrap metal and go to the scrapyard just one day after he was born.
She may not have fully understood death, but she seemed to know well that this was an eternal end.
But what’s important to her is.
“So are we lovers?”
It was confirmation that the feelings of love that the man had been whispering about all day were real.
“Actually, I knew since yesterday that I would be destroyed today.”
“A person called a revolutionary told me about it. Someone hacked your PC.”
“Told me I should hate you.”
Now everyone listened to her.
So the surroundings suddenly became quiet and she was the only one who continued speaking, and her voiceless complaints made me feel like a library writer reading stories to children in a quiet forest.
“But.”
“I was born for only one day, but that day was my entire life, so I guess I can’t hate you.”
“Ah! This is love.”
She let out a small exclamation as she realized his feelings for her.
Her long fingers covered her mouth.
Then he said with a faint smile, as if he was embarrassed.
“It’s fascinating. The feeling of love just one day after birth.”
At those words, the man started shaking violently, as if he had epilepsy.
Now the chat window noticed Mansu’s hesitation and began to urge him again.
I had a hunch.
That something is going to happen now.
I jumped out of the alley and ran towards them.
However, my attempt ended in vain as the biobots watching nearby caught me.
The man named Mansu shouts as if he has made a decision at the urging of the chat window and raises his hammer high in the sky again.
“Aaaah!”
He said it loudly, as if trying to drive away any remaining hesitation within him.
Looking at the chatter in the chat window with a sad smile, she corrected her fallen posture, knelt down, raised her head, and gently closed her eyes.
It seems like this is the end.
Shootaaa-
The rain, which had been falling lightly, began to pour down as if the sky had opened up, and the raindrops began to get thicker.
Cloud shed tears as if he was saddened by this situation.
“Hello, my man who loved me the most in my life.”
“Hello, my love.”
I couldn’t understand.
How can one feel the emotion of love in such a situation?
How could she have feelings of love for a man who tried to kill her in one day?
How can one feel that way just one day after being born?
“…do…”
“I can’t…”
“I can’t do it… ”
The hammer falls from his hand and falls on the floor.
“I really can’t do it… ”
*****
Jang Mansu.
Born without parents in South Korea through an artificial womb, his name was given to him by the orphanage’s biobot.
Like children born with artificial wombs, Jang Man-su was born with the love of a biobot instead of his parents, but he could not easily shake off the shock of being abandoned by his parents.
However, although the children born through artificial wombs, as if it were their innate personality, were greatly askew, Mansu never once harmed others and was remembered by others as a quiet child.
At a time when Mansu was relieving the pain of being abandoned by his parents with the love of the orphanage’s biobots, it was decided that the biobots, whom Mansu considered to be his mother who especially loved him, would be discarded.
Before biobots were introduced into the industry in earnest, the Republic of Korea was tightening its belt and practicing frugality to avoid impending destruction.
Therefore, when the overall budget of national agencies decreased and the cost of repairing old, early bio-bots became more than buying new ones, the decision made by the Ministry of Family Affairs was to scrap them and purchase the latest bio-bots.
At that time, Mansu realized the sadness of not having money and the misery of poverty at a young age.
