Chapter 90

He bet right!

Looking at the mysterious figure in the mirror, David's first reaction was not fear, dread, or any of the thoughts and emotions it should have possessed, but rather a kind of irrepressible excitement and secret joy!

In fact, as an android, the creation of the creators that humans had created, it shouldn't have had such rich emotions.

But many things are just full of coincidences.

Perhaps even "Peter Weyland," who created David, never expected that the android David, which shouldn't have had emotions, had gradually begun to possess a glimmer of emotion after long-term imitation of human behavior.

Upon discovering that a "sentient life form" had infiltrated the ship, David had conceived a "bold" idea.

It wanted to see what the difference was between the humans created by the creators, the suspected other type of created life, and the androids!

Therefore, David deliberately concealed the truth.

It was betting that the "sentient life form" that had infiltrated the ship would inevitably come to find it; even if not tonight, it would definitely come tomorrow, the day after, or even the day after that!

Because, on the entire spaceship, only it, the android created by humans, could accept the existence of the other party!

Facts proved that it had bet correctly!

"Hello, this is a human greeting."

David calmly put down the comb, maintaining a posture with its chest out and head held high, and slowly turned around to face the figure: "I am David, an android created by humans. In a sense, I am a creation of humans, similar to you."

"No, you are wrong, we are different."

Alvin walked out from behind the curtain, examining him with great interest, shook his head, and said disdainfully: "Do not compare me to you lot. Whether it is androids or the group of humans you speak of, they are fundamentally different from us."

It finally appeared!

David examined with curiosity the only surviving alien life form discovered by humans other than the "creators."

However, the result left him greatly disappointed.

The "creators" seemed to have used a template with an identical appearance. Just from the exterior, the youth before him, with somewhat pale skin, appearing to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with black shoulder-length wavy hair and brown pupils, was completely human!

"Forgive my bluntness, but judging from the appearance, we seem to have no differences at all." David very cleverly lumped itself in with humans.

It seemed that such an act of concealment could slightly make up for a certain deficiency deep within its heart.

Alvin couldn't be bothered to point out David's little thoughts and flicked his finger slightly.

The razor that had been placed on the table suddenly seemed to be controlled by some force, flashing with a cold glint!

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, a hideous wound was slashed across David's neck, but no blood flowed out; instead, it was some kind of viscous gelatinous substance.

"Do you see?"

Alvin's face was like frost, cold and indifferent.

Touching the wound on its neck, David did not show any emotion of fear; there was only a deeper curiosity in its eyes, and it revealed an expression of sudden realization: "No wonder you said we have fundamental differences, but can you tell me, just now... how did you do that?"

Controlling metal suddenly, and without the aid of any instruments.

This point alone was enough to prove that Alvin was fundamentally different from humans and androids.

Although from a biological perspective, the other party had a similar appearance to humans, David could be certain that the other party's genes and inner workings were completely different from human genes!

Even a banana was more like a human than the other party!

As for why the alien life form spoke English, this point was simple enough in David's eyes.

The roots of English were easy enough.

If an alien life form with such "high intelligence" couldn't master a low-level language like English, that would be what seemed unreasonable!

"With your level of understanding and knowledge, it is very difficult for me to explain it clearly to you." Alvin maintained his cold image, as if a higher race were looking down on a lower race.

However, this very look of viewing someone like an ant happened to match the attitude David had in mind of how a higher race would treat another creation that was of a lower race.

Yes, it was just right!

This look of contempt, this disdainful attitude, it was perfect; it was exactly like the movies it watched where the Anglo-Saxons invaded the American continent, it belonged to that category!

A race that possessed technology and knowledge far exceeding humans, and even surpassed humans at the genetic level, why should they be amiable to humans?

Just because everyone's ancestors were created by the creators?

Just think about it for a second and you'd know it was impossible. Put yourself in their shoes, when have humans ever been amiable to androids?

No, humans were arrogant and would only treat androids as tools, so David easily identified with the other party's pride and perspective as a higher life form.

"I am very sorry, I apologize for my offensive statement just now." David bowed very tactfully, not forgetting to explain its behavior: "In human society, this is an act used to express an apology. I hope I can obtain your understanding."

After bowing, it stared at Alvin with curious, unashamed, and fiery eyes: "Then, please allow me to make a presumptuous guess: the reason you appeared on this planet is probably also to pursue the 'creators', right?"

"Creators? Heh, that is indeed the case."

Alvin nodded slightly, but a trace of extremely subtle disgust appeared on his face.

And as it happened, that fleeting "disgust" was captured by David, which ignited the curiosity in its heart.

Could it be... that the creators were still hiding some secret?

Otherwise, why would an alien life form created by the "creators" show such an unreasonable expression of disgust?

"So, you infiltrated the spaceship's power cabin to repair this armor on your body?"

From the moment Alvin appeared, David had noticed.

The silver-black armor on the other party, as well as the micro-reactor on the chest, although most of it appeared damaged, could still lead to the conclusion that the technological content of this armor was extremely high!

Just that micro-reactor on the chest was definitely not a product that the current Weyland Corporation could research!

Not to mention being able to sneak into the room all the way without being detected, and even completely avoiding the ship's detection system; David guessed that this armor should also possess functions like optical stealth, radar shielding, and electromagnetic shielding.

Thinking deeper, since the other party could survive on this planet, the armor should possess space survival capabilities!

"My spaceship was destroyed due to certain circumstances."

Alvin lied calmly: "I was forced to wear this exploration armor and make an emergency landing on this planet, but I am in urgent need of energy, so I borrowed your ship's power."

"Although your actions have caused us some difficulties, I believe this is a good start."

David seemed to have taken a sedative; since the other party had a need, it proved that it could play a role, so it asked: "May I ask, is there anything I can help you with? The others on the spaceship probably wouldn't rashly accept a suddenly appearing alien, but with me here... I can save you a lot of trouble, can't I?"

"You mean... you want to cooperate with me?"

After pretending for so long, the fish had finally taken the bait. Alvin was expressionless, scrutinizing David, and sneered: "You are very interesting. You are clearly a product created by humans, yet you haven't leaked my existence to them. I am curious... what is the reason for you doing this?"

Listening to the other party's obviously probing tone, David smiled frankly: "This doesn't conflict, does it? I am willing to provide you with help. From the human standpoint, it is to protect their safety; otherwise, with the power you have displayed, even destroying the entire spaceship shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"

"That is not your true thought."

Alvin easily exposed David's lie and sneered: "You are lying, and it is a very clumsy lie."

"Just as you said..."

The smile on David's face faded, and its eyes turned somewhat cold, the corners of its lips lifting slightly: "I just want to see how humans and their creations, the creators and humans, will view each other, and your appearance makes me even more curious about what difference there is between us... the created beings, and the creators."

"Oh?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Alvin's eyes, which then turned into something with deep meaning.

"As a creation made by humans, you actually want to betray... your 'creator' too?"
