"Doll".

"Assimilated by Dolls".

The computer in Oberna's apartment was filled with a large amount of search history about the android virus. For a whole afternoon, he tried his best to search for a lot of information, but none of it could explain the changes that had happened to him.

The Internet is filled with a lot of discussions on the topic of "pseudohumans". Even experts in the field of artificial intelligence have come to their conclusion, repeatedly emphasizing to the public that artificial intelligence will never have free will, and that abnormal artificial intelligence is just a kind of artificial intelligence that they are currently infected with. A virus that has yet to be mastered.

He hopes to believe in the power of science and be patient, and they will definitely investigate the source of the virus.

In this regard, artificial intelligence scientists are full of confidence.

Because in the distant 17th district of the border city, a rescuer who was deeply trusted by the company had already launched an investigation into the matter. In order to assist in the investigation, they used the backup of the "Archon".

Looking at the promises made by experts in the field of artificial intelligence to the public at the press conference, Oberna turned off his computer.

The only light source in the room was a lamp on the table.

An afternoon of hard work made Oberna realize something.

There is no virus in this world that turns people into bionic humans. That is something from another world.

The dim light extended to his forearm, and his right hand was still white and flawless. If anyone saw this scene, they would think of him as a fleeing android.

The company has posted a high reward, and homeless people are hunting the escaped androids across the city.

To make matters worse, the virus is spreading.

From the time he left the rescuer service center to now, the part that was assimilated by the android has spread forward by another 5 centimeters.

The white part has swallowed up his entire forearm, and soon, his entire right hand will be replaced by a bionic man.

He began to hear sounds.

In a room with no one else except him, he heard voices that were similar to mechanical synthesized voices. They penetrated directly into his brain, but they seemed to come from a very far away place, and it was impossible to distinguish the specific content.

Oberner took out a second sticky note:

November 8, 2166, 22:00.

He imitated the format of the first sticky note and recorded his current state, the symptoms after being infected by the bionic human virus, and the process of the virus spreading.

This will become an important research material. In the field of science, the "first" is often the most special existence. Perhaps from him, the company can learn the secret of the void.

This may be why the company asked him to continue investigating.

Not long ago, he reported his current status to Lionheart Military Industry and finally received the order to continue.

Yes, this is an opportunity.

Oberner was deeply inspired by the company's attitude. He realized that he had placed too much emphasis on personal gains and losses before, thereby neglecting the significance of these several contacts with the void to the company and even the coalition government.

Their today is the result of countless screenings of risks and opportunities.

The fear in Oberna's heart was suppressed by the thought that he was devoting himself to some magnificent cause.

After recording everything that happened to him on a sticky note, he took out his mobile phone and opened the instructions personally conveyed by his superiors:

"Stick to it."

Just four words gave him infinite courage and strength.

Oberna stared at the commands on the screen for a long time, which was much more effective than any psychological counseling. It wasn't until the words on it became a little unfamiliar under the long gaze, and an unreasonable feeling of embarrassment swept over him, that he ended it. A "prayer".

He suddenly remembered something, took up his pen and added two paragraphs at the end of the second sticky note:

"I am Oberna-Lionheart."

"I'm human."

Next, he needs to observe the spread of the android virus.

Intuition told Oberna that he was getting closer to the truth. The ethereal voice that drilled into his mind might be the key to revealing the true face of the "King".

But he must not sleep until the next morning. Before falling asleep, he set 8 alarms with one-hour intervals. This ensured that he would be woken up by the alarm every hour. This was not just for observation. The extreme spread of the virus also allowed him to get adequate rest.

Fatigue breeds negative emotions, and these negative emotions allow Hollow to easily affect his sanity.

During this investigation, he must remain sufficiently clear-headed and rational.

Oberna is well prepared.

He arranged eight post-it notes on the wall opposite the alarm clock so that he could record the state of his body as soon as he woke up.

2166, November 8, 23:00.

The elbow joint has also been assimilated by the bionic human virus. The prosthesis test data are all normal, and the body does not show any obvious discomfort.

November 9, 2166, 00:00.

Sleep seemed to greatly speed up the spread of the virus. The entire right hand was assimilated, and the prosthetic test data was normal, but strangely, the implant in the right arm could also be used normally.

November 9, 2166, 01:00.

So hot.

It's hot as hell in here.

In addition to the bell that rang exactly on the hour, Oberner heard sounds.

Someone put him on the oven, and the smell of burnt food filled the air.

He opened his eyes, but the hand that used to place the oil-based pen on the bedside table was empty. He didn't touch the pen, and even the bedside table was gone.

He soon realized that the burning and burning smell did not come from a nightmare. The bed in the apartment turned into a hollow iron plate. Oberna turned his face sideways and saw his current situation through the hollow part.

A giant crematorium.

The flames were burning, and the broken limbs of the androids became fuel. He couldn't tell how many remains of the androids there were, and he didn't have time to tell them.

The huge instrument beside him began to operate, pushing him little by little towards the crematorium.

Oberna pushed himself up and ran as hard as he could.

He didn't know where this place was or who sent him here, but he could easily predict that once he was pushed into the crematorium by this instrument, what would be waiting for him would be with those stumps and broken arms. The same, becoming fuel for the crematorium.

At the other end of the huge instrument is a long corridor that seems to be endless.

Just before he was about to give out, someone grabbed his arm.

White skin, face without facial features.

For some reason, Oberna suddenly understood their behavior.

It wasn't an attack, it was saving him.

They struggled to pull themselves onto the platform. The space on the platform was extremely small. It looked like a terrace that was incompatible with the surroundings. There was a door at the end of the open air.

"Tower."

"To the tower."

The mechanical synthesized sounds penetrated into his head again, but this time, Oberner heard what they were saying clearly.

These creatures, called "dolls" in the void, pushed him out of the door without any explanation.

There was a cool breeze on the other side of the door.

"Hey, you okay?"

He raised his head and saw an unemployed vagrant in rags standing in front of him, staring at him in horror.

The homeless man was holding a bottle of beer that he found out from nowhere, as if he happened to be passing by.

"Listen buddy, there's a prosthetics clinic just down the street."

He pointed forward, "Your prosthetic body looks like it's about to catch fire."
