——How long have I been imprisoned? One day? Two days? Three days?

The fully enclosed space is in the underground area. The incandescent lamp is used inside that never has enough energy and cannot turn off the power supply. Of course, it is impossible to use the outside light to judge day and night in this area, and there is no way to use the temperature difference.

“This is the third afternoon.”

k17 came over as usual and she brought lunch.

"Oh...this is this again..." Baichuan's nutrient solution for injection is now a headache when he sees this, "I said... do you want my taste to fail?" He has been relying on injections these days, and this damn little Valkyrie seems to have very powerful calculation ability, so powerful that how much water does Baichuan need in a day, and when will this moisture be consumed and then replenished, all of them are calculated.

She was like a robot—even she admitted herself that the k17 was a well-functioning human-mechanical machine.

Although some of Baichuan's words formed different values ​​in her heart and took root deeply, they have not sprouted until now. Baichuan knew that she needed some motivation...some...such as things like water, sunlight and fertilizer to make the seed germinate.

"By the way... can't I be given oral liquid? I have to do this form of injection..."

Speaking of this, Bai Chuan had already injected herself with her nutrition today. For some time, she should be staring at the ceiling and passing the time without doing anything.

“Respond to your questions based on the current situation—”

k17 said so seriously again.

Bai Chuan always felt that she needed a pair of glasses to push when she spoke seriously, which would be more like - if this child was in school, he would definitely be a class leader-level role?

“—This is not possible.”

Look, it was denied again.

"What a boring little guy... your two sisters are much more interesting than you."

“…two sisters?”

"It's Nian and Chen... you should know them, right?"

"If it were those two..."

k17 said while packing up the syringe and test tube.

The plastic equipment collided with the metal tray to produce a crisp sound, and then in this sound, the self-analysis of k17 was conveyed:

"Before I was modulated, Nian had betrayed her, so she was not considered a sister. Chen's words... that honor worked very hard no matter what he did, and he cultivated her original body and was also an excellent individual. My sister Chen and I were modulated in the same period, but she had been engaged in actual combat very early, while I was still in the debugging stage of my ability, which is the difference in performance."

“Well… performance…”

Bai Chuan leaned against the wall and his fingers pressed against his chin, "I think there are actually other reasons."

"……other?"

"Yes, yes, it's... uh, your job is just to deliver food. Is it okay to stay here?"

"There is no problem at all, Your Excellency. Because my task is to take care of your daily life... Speaking of the topic just now, what is the so-called other reasons?"

"That...it's probably faith or something."

People always need goals. If there is no goal, they don’t know what the meaning of their efforts is. If there is no goal, they don’t know how hard they have been working hard, and it’s not enough. Am I close to the indicator I expect? Or am I just doing useless work while standing still? Chen wants to defeat his original form to prove himself. Although this goal has long been lost, she, who once had a goal, prompted herself to work hard.

This gave Chen the ability to stand out.

"--but,"

The k17 that gets the answer is denied by crossing hands to express disagreement.

"If this is the case, it is different from our beliefs... We just need to obey the orders of the research institute and should not have our own ideas. We...!"

Suddenly, I noticed something and was silent.

"Hey!"

Baichuan looked like a fox with a smile.

——Did this child finally notice it?

In k17's cognition, all you need is to obey, abandon your own ideas and ideas, and obey all commands. However, the sender of these commands is precisely because the commander wants to implement his own concept - that is, his beliefs, that is, his own beliefs, that is, hence people do it.

Empty everything about yourself to obey the most reasonable course of action. But ironically, these most reasonable course of action are precisely what the makers customize according to their goals.

"……I see……"

k17 nodded.

...I feel something unreasonable.

"It's a contradiction."

——But, why is this happening?

Since it is a contradiction, shouldn’t it be impossible to coexist?

Knock... something inside me showed a bigger crack.

Baichuan knew that her purpose had succeeded, so she added a fire to it: "Can't understand? Then let me give you an example." She used her swaying fingers to simulate the ripples of water. "The most original contradiction in this world is water and fire. From the principle point of view, it is natural to fire. But what about this? If there is a layer of oil or alcohol on the surface of the water, there will be a spectacular scene of flames burning on the water, right? This is often the case when an accident occurs in oil refineries on the ocean."

"But that's because there is a layer of burning substance in the middle..."

“——Didn’t you let conflicts coexist because of that self-righteous view?”

“…!”

"The eyes can deceive people. Almost everyone who sees that picture is lamenting the wonders of the world, but who has noticed the combustible substances that support the burning of flames on the sea? Your point of view is the same. You just think that this is the best, so you obey such orders and therefore don't find such things. In fact, they are the things that you have always despised."

As she said this, she smiled and showed her white teeth.

"Well... it sounds like a tongue twister, doesn't it? But with your calm deduction ability, you probably understand it?"

"Yes...that is, Mr. Katsuchuan overturned my point of view-"

“——Wrong.”

This is also, negate.

Smiling Kashirokawa pointed her finger at the center of k17's eyebrows:

"This is what my stupid boyfriend often says... and correct it - probably that's it. I just corrected the wrong part of the point of view. As for whether to continue to obey, it's your own business."
