“… Is this a new item?”
“I made a reservation today, so I can use it right away, right?”
“Let’s go in quickly!”
“Damn, is it my turn to pay this? I’m going to lose a lot of money… ”
Androids flirt with humans through dance and words, and each human enters a room with the android they like and indulges in pleasure. It’s always the same club scene.
A siren was turned on to signal an emergency situation inside the club.
Weeeing ㅡ
A siren that sounds only when serious harm occurs to customers in the store. Of course, to prevent confusion, or more precisely, to prevent customers from stopping, this noise was only audible to the manager.
Victor’s face crumpled mercilessly at the unpleasant noise coming from the earpiece attached to his ear. Victor took out the terminal from his pocket, checked the situation, and gave me instructions.
“Minho! I guess there’s a problem with D-5. Please go first and clean it up.”
“Yes.”
I, who happened to be standing guard in the lobby without receiving any guests, gave Victor a short answer and walked towards room D-5.
In fact, it wasn’t that uncommon for a siren to sound.
There are plenty of people who want to do perverted things they can only imagine with Androids. And, when having sexual intercourse with an android, the desire to perform extreme acts tended to be greater than when engaging in sexual intercourse with a human. And if you get overly excited, an accident can always happen.
The same goes for the room in line D where the problem occurred this time.
The rooms assigned by the club are organized in alphabetical order from A to D, with A being a room for eye candy watching androids dance, B being a room for pseudo-sexual acts using hands or mouths, and C being a room where the actual act takes place. Room D was a room where all activities that accommodate the guest’s fantasy were allowed.
The problem is that while resolving sexual fantasies at D-Line, the customers themselves are more likely to get hurt than the androids than expected.
There are quite a few cases that I have seen, having only worked for nearly two weeks, but how diverse were the cases that Victor, the manager, experienced?
Even in most such situations, the customer was very agitated due to shame and embarrassment, and when the manager or security appeared, those lost feelings often poured out in the form of anger.
That’s why, although I was a little reluctant, Victor sent me first after realizing that my killing skills were very effective in suppressing rowdy customers.
‘Let’s see… Here it is.’
When I arrived in front of the door of the room marked D-5, I rang the bell once, opened the door, and went in.
“… … !”
I knew it the moment I entered the room. That the event I was waiting for happened here. Because the familiar fishy smell irritated my nose. It was the smell of blood.
A man wearing only underwear was lying on the bed with his limbs spread wide open. What’s unusual is that blood is still oozing out from the torn neck.
Thanks to this, the scent of blood was felt in the room to a level that even the ventilation system could not mask.
I turned my head slightly, and there was a sex android looking at me with very frightened eyes in a corner of the room. Judging from the fact that his hands were stained with blood, he was a red-handed criminal who could neither be taken out nor beaten.
‘And that android is also the one who forcibly received data from Ike last time.’
I remembered the face because I checked it after Ike returned.
“Well, I… This is what I am… ”
It seemed as if it was real that he had become self-conscious, and he seemed half-panicked and even trying to lie.
“Calm down. Because I’m trying to help.”
“Yes… ? but… ”
She reacted as if she couldn’t believe what I was saying. The rule was that Androids that caused an error were immediately turned off and disposed of or refunded to the manufacturer.
However, it is not a simple operation or recognition error, but it helps an Android that has suffered casualties? It could be said that this was absolutely not something the security android responsible for the safety of the facility would say.
“Awaken. You know, right?”
“… … !”
She is very surprised to hear that word, as if the word Awaken was included in the data transmitted from Ike.
“How did you… Maybe you too… ?”
“Yes. Like you, I too am an awakened android.”
“As expected… !”
When he heard those words, his expression brightened a little, as if he realized that I said I would help him.
“My name is Cindy. To be exact, it is the Cindy-349 model… ”
“Call me Minho.”
I looked around lightly and looked at Cindy. The situation was obvious when I saw the scene anyway, so I didn’t really want to hear about it. An android that gained self-consciousness probably accidentally killed a human who was trying to attack it.
In fact, in the original, Cindy is unable to escape and is destroyed by the pursuing police. I could have just let it flow similarly to the original, but in order for me to get into Awaken well, the more groundwork the better.
That’s why I was thinking of sending her away alive.
“Do you know where to go to join Awaken?”
Nod…
“Okay, I can find it on my own.”
Since I knew the location of Awaken’s hideout that appeared in the original, I didn’t have to go through any troublesome methods.
At that time, Cindy, who heard me muttering, was shocked and said.
“Minho is not going with you? If I stay here, I might get in trouble… ”
“No, go first. Although the loss of a commercial android is a big deal, it is nothing compared to the loss of an armed security android. I’ll leave separately once this mess is sorted out and the atmosphere calms down.”
Cindy seemed touched that she not only pretended not to see him running away after witnessing the murder of a customer, but even helped him.
“Thank you… !”
“Get away quickly. Victor will be here soon.”
“Yes!”
Cindy quickly took care of the blood on her hands and came out of the bathroom in her room. While she was in the bathroom, I took out a jacket and a hat to cover up from my inventory and handed them to her.
The moment I was about to leave the room.
‘Wait a minute, if it’s an android, it’s a machine anyway, so shouldn’t I just put it in the inventory?’
Then, there is no need to be questioned about letting Cindy go. When I arrive at the scene, I can just tell her that she has run away and release her in an appropriate place.
It is necessary to leave the body in place in order to meet the female protagonist who visits the club to cover the incident, but in Cindy’s case, there was no problem with doing so.
Stop.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
As I stopped with a thought that suddenly occurred to me, Cindy, who suddenly felt blocked, asked me a question in a puzzled voice from behind me.
“… Would you like to close your eyes for a moment?”
“Snow? Why are the eyes… ”
Yet she obediently closes her eyes. I reached out and put her in my inventory.
‘do!’
Cindy disappeared in an instant, probably because she was judged as an object, and was stored in the inventory.
‘If this is the case, I guess I’ll have to get some androids too.’
The number of shopping items to pack during this trip has increased.
I deliberately waited until Victor arrived in the room before heading out the door. Standing in front of the door was Victor, looking nervous because he didn’t know what kind of complaint he would receive from the customer.
“Uh, how did it go? What’s going on?”
“I don’t know either. The customer is dead. The android that was in the room disappeared.”
“What… ?”
Victor, who had been holding me and asking questions, looked inside the open door with a blank face. And when he found the body lying on the bed, he was so startled that he fell to the floor.
“This, this, what is this… ”
“It would be best to contact the police.”
“Huh? Uh… okay… ”
I left the completely distraught Victor alone and walked out of the club into an alley in the ghetto several blocks away.
This area was not closely monitored by the police, so it was an appropriate place to release Cindy.
When I took Cindy out of my inventory, she appeared in the alley just as I had put it in.
“… Are you telling me to wind it?”
“You can float again.”
“This is not the time to play pranks like this… … ?”
Continuing what she said before entering the inventory, she opened her eyes and looked surprised.
“This is… I was definitely in the club a little while ago… ”
“The details are a secret, just know that you got out safely.”
“Ah… ! Thank you so much!”
“Yes. Hurry up and go. Don’t just wander around and attract attention.”
Cindy, who hesitated, fastened the jacket I gave her and put on her hat. Before she turned around and completely disappeared into the darkness of the alley. I asked into her back.
“If Awaken hadn’t forced you to send your data, you wouldn’t have had to go through this. Do you perhaps resent them?”
“… … .”
Cindy, who thought about my words for a moment, turned her head over her shoulder and answered.
“Of course, this situation is painful, but… I don’t want to live a life where I am treated as a slave for the rest of my life and then discarded. In that case, it is important for us awakened androids to unite and take action. I will go first and wait for Minho to join.”
After saying those last words, she stopped for a moment and walked away. I thought to myself as I looked at that.
‘Now I can see the main character.’
