Chapter 217, Puppet's Life

The moment she rushed into the top floor, Shen Youyou realized that something was wrong.

Her powers are gone.

The top floor of the experimental building is an open platform with French windows on all sides. The glass of the French windows has been shattered by the shock wave of the explosion, leaving only the remains of reinforced concrete licked by the flames.

Through the fire, a vague figure could be seen, leaning against the pillar in the middle of the platform.

Dodging all kinds of fly ash and sundries that fell, Shen Youyou ran towards that person.

"Su Qin." She put her hand on the man's shoulder.

The person leaning on the pillar fell to the ground, his clothes unraveled, revealing the mold inside.

is fake.

There was no one on the top floor at all.

The fire was raging and soon engulfed the mold.

Covering her mouth and nose, she took advantage of her transformed body and rushed out the door.

At the moment of leaping over the flames, there was a loud noise above his head.

The decorative beams on the top couldn't withstand the erosion of the flames and fell down with a bang.

Shen Youyou slammed on the brakes, but still couldn't dodge, and was knocked to the ground by the thick beam.

"Cough cough."

Being hit in the middle, the outer skin of the human being was peeled off, revealing the inner metal skeleton.The little girl tried in vain to push against the beam with her only moving hand.

Surrounded by the fire, the scorching heat almost melted her metal skeleton.

It's hot...so hot.

Like the heat of a crematorium, like... the fire that woke her up.

Ahhh, the scorching temperature engraved deep in the memory, it was the same fire light as today, she woke up in that fire.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the flames that devoured everything, and the warm embrace of that person.

That fragile human being, holding her in his arms, avoids burning flames and various obstacles.

His body is very soft, completely different from her hard bones, and his voice is also very soft, even in the face of a crisis that can take his life, his voice that falls in her ears is gentle, and it is in line with the crisis-ridden environment Out of place tenderness.

"Don't be afraid, I will definitely rescue you, don't be afraid..."

Don't be afraid.

afraid?Not understanding what he was talking about, she just nodded ignorantly.

He just laughed.

Yes, at that time, she saw the slight curve of her mouth and the bright light in her eyes.

Later, Shen Bai told her that it was a smile.

Humans use various facial expressions to express their emotions, such as smiling, such as crying...

She half understood, but she understood that the expression she saw was good, so she worked hard to learn that expression, like that person.

"What's your name? I've been here for so long, and I still don't know your name—A117? Is this your code name? What about your name?"

name?I don't have a name.She shook her head.

"Why is there no name? Everyone should have their own name." He seemed to sigh, his voice was low, "Well, let me help you find a name, okay?"

She grabbed his hand, the skin of that hand was gray, but the skin was hot.

"Wait, let me think about it..." He let out a breath and muttered, "When you get out alive, I will tell you the name that comes to mind..."

She nodded again.

After waiting for a while, the people around him did not speak.

She tilted her head to look at him, and poked his shoulder.

He still doesn't speak.

Why don't you talk?Why don't you open your eyes?Don't want to talk to her?Do you dislike her for not having a name?
She did not have a name. In memory, they would only call her A117. He said that was a code name, not a name.

She has a code name, but no name.

Later, the fire was extinguished, and she was brought back to the laboratory, but the person she saw first after waking up never appeared again.

He broke his promise to tell her her name.

Why not come?have you left?

"He's dead." Through the thick special glass, the old man looked at her with disgust in his eyes, "Because you—a test subject—my son lost his life to protect something like you! Stupid !"

Oh, she got it, the man was dead.

She doesn't understand life, but she knows what death means.

In the past, there were many samples like hers in the laboratory. As time went by, they were thrown into the garbage dump and into the cremator... Slowly, she was the only one left in this laboratory.

Those who came and went said that the other samples were all dead.

Well, those little friends never came back, they disappeared.

That person, like those dead samples, disappeared from this world.

He hasn't told her her name yet, so she can only continue to use the code name of A117, just a code name, even if she tries to learn the habits of human beings and live like a human being, she can't be the same as a real human being.

She's just a puppet.

Will never be human...she doesn't even have a name of her own.

What a pity.

"long!"

A hoarse voice passed through the flames and floated to her ears.

"long!"

That voice persistently called two words, over and over again.

"Yuyo! Where are you?"

The girl's fingers curled up unconsciously, and she slowly opened her eyes, looking in the direction of the sound.

"Shen Youyou."

The young man sat opposite her and put a stack of materials on the table.

He folded his hands and supported his chin, leaning slightly, with a very leisurely posture.

"From now on, this will be your name."

Shen Youyou?Shen Youyou.

She murmured twice in her heart and nodded.

The eyes of the person in front of her were bright, and she smiled softly just like the person who woke her up.

"From today on, the laboratory will no longer exist. You will follow me from now on, and I will take care of you." He sat up straight, stretched out his hand in front of her, "Yuyou, please give me your advice."

She stared blankly at his hand.

He smiled, took her hand, and shook his fingertips: "This is a handshake, which means that we will be friends in the future."

So warm, his hand, just like that person.

She subconsciously pinched his fingers and held them tightly, as if she wanted to hold the fleeting warmth in her palm.

She knew that her actions did not comply with the base's regulations.

In the lab, if she touched a human without authorization, they would beat her with a lightning rod.

The electrical current stimulates the epidermis, which in turn creates pain sensations that stimulate the brain.If the brain is destroyed, she will die.

——She is not a human being, but she is still the same as a human being, subject to pain and death.

In order not to be beaten, she never dared to touch humans like this.

However, at that time, she was bewitched by something, and she grabbed his hand in a daze and did not let go.

She was not beaten.

The man just smiled and let her hold hands.

"My name is Shen Bai. You can call me brother or my name in the future."

Shen Bai, Shen Youyou.

"long!"

The voice was far and near, persistent.

In the vision blurred by the thick smoke, she found the familiar figure.

"Shen... Shen Bai..."

She wanted to call his name, but found that she couldn't make a sound.

Shen Bai, don't come here, don't get close here, don't be like that person, and go into the fire for a puppet like me.
