Chapter 487

~6 min read 1,160 words

A biologist, a surgeon, a site director, and the lone commander of Alpha-9.

Cold air fell from the central air conditioning vent, blowing the white lab coat on her body.

Sophia couldn't help but sigh.

She was very tired, tired enough to want to die.

She raised her left hand, which had many scars left from childhood, originating from a non-abusive abuse.

——To cultivate her outdoor survival skills, her guardian threw her alone into the African wilderness for a few days.

Her left hand trembled slightly, touching the scars on her face.

Strange to say, these two scars that had existed for most of her life were actually a bit itchy under the cold wind, and there was an indescribable stinging pain deep inside.

Giving her an urge to tear that piece of skin, that piece of tissue, off completely.

"Sigh……" She forced herself to stay calm, recalling her identity as a site director.

With her chest heaving, she unlocked the screen again.

Entering the number, pressing the call button, the result was no different—

"Sorry, the number you dialed is an empty number……"

"Sorry, the number you dialed is an empty number……"

Damn it……

Sophia cursed under her breath.

She stuffed her phone into her front pocket, trotted quickly, her heels clicking on the tiles, and in a few steps, caught up with the guide in front.

"……but our paper records are right next door, if you need them, Miss Light."

Lu Ke turned his head and revealed a smile.

"I am very grateful that you were able to transfer me to Lambda-2, after all, Site-19 is a mixed bag, which is exhausting."

Lu Ke, male, responsible for logistics and IT work in the Foundation, wearing a plaid shirt and casual pants.

This sounds very traditional, very normal, very consistent with people's stereotypes.

But his snow-white hair stood straight up; if it were dyed green, it would be a patch of well-grown green onions.

What's worse is that if you get to know him deeply, you will uncontrollably suspect whether his head was just caught in a door.

Sophia also nodded, smiled, pointed to a server labeled "Da-De," and asked:

"Is this her block?"

"Yes, ma'am! It should be, anyway."

Sophia frowned slightly and looked at her watch.

11:30—already late.

"Can you open it, Lu Ke?"

"She has a name, ma'am." Lu Ke's voice was much softer. "I can wake her up."

Sophia immediately understood the magical relationship between the two.

But she had no objection to this.

Human emotions are easily entrusted; not to mention ordinary staff, even Dr. Clef was discussed privately because of his emotions with anomalies that crossed biological boundaries.

As long as Lu Ke's emotions didn't surge to the point of overflowing, and then cause damage to the Foundation's property, she wouldn't comment on anything.

She took a step back and gave the space to Lu Ke.

Lu Ke moved forward in small steps, carefully moving the outer shell aside, revealing the huge display screen hidden underneath.

He tapped the glass with his fingers:

"Hey, Alex! Is that you?"

The cooling fan roared immediately, and the monitor lit up suddenly.

In a burst of light, a two-dimensional beautiful girl with blue hair smiled sweetly at Lu Ke.

……

Xianzhou "Luo Fu."

Silver Wolf was preparing to quietly hack into the next node according to the plan, but heard Kafka exclaim "Wow."

She withdrew her consciousness immersed in the other side of the universe and turned to look at Kafka beside her:

"What's wrong, Kafka?"

"Disturbed you, sorry." Kafka habitually revealed a smile and then showed her phone to Silver Wolf.

It was the moment Lu Ke and the two-dimensional beautiful girl looked at each other affectionately.

"……"???

"The earliest record of human-machine love in human history has been advanced by more than 100,000 years."

"……"???

Silver Wolf didn't know what to say, but remembering the anomaly that could turn artificial intelligence into currency, she could only silently bless the two.

……

At the same time, the audience's reactions were even more exaggerated.

"No, is there a mistake? It's people like him who make the world misunderstand that programmers all like 2D characters and don't like real people!"

"But, she is really beautiful!"

"Is there a possibility that if he took the time he spent chatting with artificial intelligence to pursue a girl, she could also find love in reality?"

"You don't understand this, do you? What's on the computer screen, even if it's a lover, a beloved, it's untouchable, sacred, and cannot be compared to the mortals in reality."

"You're right, but there's another possibility. There is an existence called a VTuber. Why did he choose artificial intelligence instead of a streamer with a human heart?"

"Don't say it, I also want a girlfriend like this."

……

Amidst the endless complaints, envy, and blessings from the audience, a chat box popped up at the bottom of the screen.

【Alexandra, λ-2 【Support】】

【October 24, Wednesday, 11:31】

【Hello there, dear! Is that Sophia?】

The blue-haired girl swayed her body in the screen like a little deer, her hem swaying with her body, and along with it, there were the towering giants.

Perhaps the Foundation's servers were all wasted in such places.

"Aha! Success!" Lu Ke slammed his right fist into his left palm.

"Yes, the one with me is Sophia."

"We are looking for information, is it called 'Charlotte Deneb'? She should be a newcomer, and we can't contact her right now."

The fan started again, this time louder.

Lu Ke frowned, leaned his body forward, and touched the outer shell of the server—usually, using a fan meant overheating, which was something Alexandra shouldn't have had.

"Hey, Alex, your fan is spinning really—"

【Keep talking. Use your shoulder to block my screen.】

【Don't trust Sophia.】

Lu Ke froze for a moment, then continued to speak.

But he also followed Alexandra's advice and covered the entire screen tightly.

Although Sophia didn't intend to peek anyway, that was, after all, the space of a little couple.

"——It's too frequent. Do you have any problems with the response time?"

【Dear, please don't be angry with me.】

【But I am the only one who can stop her.】

Lu Ke blinked slowly, then leaned his body a little closer to the machine.

"No, this is not a problem. Can you show me the diagnostics?"

【I looked at the email Sophia sent to Charlotte. She wants her to participate in a big project.】

【Charlotte has worked here for a month, and her only experience is in the 'Federal Bureau of Investigation's Unusual Incidents Unit'. She is not suitable for any work Sophia wants to do.】

【And it looks like, even after the squad is disbanded, she will be designated as 'standby'.】

Lu Ke bit his lip:

"Okay, Alex, not that I disagree with your assessment, but there might be other reasons, don't you think?"

984177810

The blue-haired girl shrugged and smiled helplessly.
