What Can I Do, I’m Not Human

Being part of the vulnerable group himself, Su Zheyan decided not to kill Liu Qinglong. After obtaining the information he wanted, he took away Liu’s weapons and let him go.

Recognizing the person in front of him as General Su, Liu Qinglong intended to join forces with him. However, Su Zheyan disliked people who were out of breath, and he refused him outright.

Before leaving, Liu Qinglong struggled for a while and turned around, grabbing Su Zheyan’s hand. “Currently, Eternal Life Technology is hunting you and your robot. We can consider ourselves as enemies. I’m grateful that you spared my life. As a token of gratitude, I want to tell you something. There is a clone of you in Eternal Life Technology. When you underwent a physical examination in the military, we stole a sample from you.”

Su Zheyan calmly withdrew his hand. “I already suspected as much.”

Liu Qinglong continued, “Mother formed a team and turned your clone into A and O, conducting various experiments. I’m just a low-level personnel, so I’m not sure about the specifics. But when I handled the bodies, I saw the corpses of clones.”

“It’s not just you. The founding general and those scientists in history, their clones are also subjected to human experimentation.”

“I’m a clone too. We’re no different from humans. We can think and feel. It weighs heavily on my heart. General, if you have the ability, I beg you to save them.”

Su Zheyan looked at him and asked, “How can I save them?”

Liu Qinglong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled bitterly. “Indeed, even if you save one wave, there will be another. Eternal Life Technology can continuously produce clones. But Mr. Zuo instructed us yesterday to prepare. In five days, the Empire will launch an attack, and by then, the clones should be saved.”

As the fog dissipated further, Liu Qinglong climbed out of the window and jumped out.

Su Zheyan closed the window and suddenly noticed a light and airy sensation above his head.

Looking around, he realized that the robot had slipped away without him noticing and was currently busy on the table.

He held the black pen and drew crooked lines in his notebook.

Su Zheyan observed for a while and asked, “What are you doing?”

Chu Shici glanced at his laborious creation and said, “Sorting out my thoughts. Eternal Life Technology must have a big conspiracy.”

Su Zheyan examined it for a while but couldn’t make sense of the messy lines and what they represented.

He wasn’t particularly interested in Eternal Life Technology’s affairs and picked up the robot, intending to go back to rest.

Chu Shici struggled anxiously, ” Yan ge! Yan ge, you can’t ignore this! Your Empire will be ruined by Eternal Life Technology!”

Su Zheyan swiftly sat back down in his chair and pulled out the pen from his pocket, his voice cold. “Speak.”

Chu Shici couldn’t help but feel emotional.

The male lead truly lived up to being the loyal dog of the Empire. His mind was filled with nothing but “Long live the Empire.”

In just a few seconds, his vitality increased by 2 points, directly reaching 70.

The system looked bewildered, but Chu Shici guessed the reason.

Su Zheyan had truly come back to life. He started to develop ideals and aspirations, rediscovering his life’s purpose.

Gradually, he was becoming the same general who knew he would die but insisted on infiltrating behind enemy lines.

Su Zheyan was still alone, but his life was no longer limited to just the little robot.

The system heard another notification sound.

【Vitality decreased by 1. Current vitality: 2 points.】1

It looked at the panel, which displayed the host2 data that had been previously accessed but forgotten to be closed.

The system glanced at the lively Chu Shici and the glaring 2 points, a question mark appearing above its head.

It submitted a report to the maintenance department, and a quick response came back.

【No abnormalities detected.】

…

Chu Shici relayed the information that he and the system had organized, and Su Zheyan recorded it in his notebook.

Based on the current clues, four parts could be distinguished: Su Zheyan, the Empire, the Desolate star, and Eternal Life Technology.

Chu Shici pointed at the black stone pattern. “First, we need to determine your identity. Although the reason for your memory confusion, Yan ge, cannot be determined yet, one thing is certain: you are not a clone. In the second shelf of the bookshelf in your capsule, there is a long mark that matches the size and shape of the black stone exactly. If someone else had entered the capsule, you would have noticed it. Besides, others have no reason to do such a thing.”

Su Zheyan nodded. “It must have been me who brought it in, but I don’t remember.”

“Clones cannot touch the black stone, even through clothes. It’s impossible for you to be a clone. You don’t remember why the black stone appeared, and you have additional memories in your mind. Eternal Life Technology wouldn’t implant false memories in you only to let you perish. It would be pointless unless you discovered some secret. Let’s put that aside for now.”

“Based on the information we have, there are only three possibilities left: multiple universes, time travel, or reincarnation.”

Su Zheyan fell silent for a moment and crossed out “reincarnation.”

After crossing it out, he looked at the robot, with a hint of imperceptible guilt in his eyes.

Chu Shici: …

Is this the obsession of a materialist?

“It’s okay, Yan ge. Crossing it out was the right choice. Initially, I also thought it was reincarnation, but the information in the newspaper changed my perspective. It’s not just you experiencing memory confusion, but others as well. It has even led to riots. The difference is that their confusion is a mismatch between dream and reality, while yours is the emergence of scattered memories.”

“If one or two people experience this, it could be attributed to multiple reincarnations. But if everyone in the world undergoes reincarnation, losing all memories from before and returning to the same point in time, that’s not normal or realistic.”

Chu Shici tilted his head up. “Yan ge, between multiple universes and time travel, which one has Eternal Life Technology studied more thoroughly?”

The pen lightly tapped on the paper as Su Zheyan pondered for a moment. “Time travel. They established the first time bridge twenty years ago.”

“A time bridge?”

“It’s a secret of Eternal Life Technology. I only know that it contains space-time coordinates, but I’m not clear about the specific principles and operations. At that time, King vigorously opposed this matter, believing that humans are only a part of the universal laws. We can explore space and time, but we have no right to control it.”

He drew a timeline on the paper. “You’ve also read the newspapers. Due to the incidents of cognitive confusion, a terrorist organization established a cult and instigated a hundred betas to engage in collective *** in front of the palace. The king was forced to abdicate. The new king, after ascending the throne, fully supported Eternal Life Technology, and the following year, when I was three years old, the time bridge successfully operated.”

As he drew halfway, his eyebrows furrowed suddenly. “The terrorist organization wouldn’t cease their riots just because the throne changed unless their fundamental demand was to install the new king.”

Chu Shici nodded frantically. “Yes, yes, that’s the second thread I wanted to mention. Yan ge, haven’t you noticed that every major disturbances in the Empire has had the shadow of Eternal Life Technology?”

While he was speaking, Su Zheyan had already written several lines on the paper.

Old king opposes the establishment of the time bridge by Eternal Life Technology, terrorist organization incites the collective *** of the masses, old king step down, new king ascends the throne, time bridge operates, death penalty abolished, Desolate star designated as a prison.

Matured technology for incubating infants, creation of clone humans to provide organ transplants and extend human lifespan, preliminary experiments on artificial humans.

Clones revolt, suspension of the artificial human program, Eternal Life Technology secretly creates clones by stealing superior genetic samples.

The expansion of robots competing with humans for jobs, the Empire’s release of the “Beta Labor Protection Law” forcing betas to leave their positions, Eternal Life Technology promoting the B to AO surgery, the Empire exempting the third category of beta criminals who agree to undergo gender reassignment from exile punishment.

Chu Shici carefully examined the neat black words on the notebook.

The technological level of Eternal Life Technology surpasses the era and dominates the current trend of social development.

During these past twenty years, everything they have done seems chaotic, but there appears to be countless complex connections, ultimately converging to a single point.

What is that point? Chu Shici is still uncertain.

Su Zheyan lowered his gaze and looked for a long time, his tone still calm.

“It’s not me traveling through time and space, but Eternal Life Technology coming from the future to the year when the time bridge was built. The reason why we experience memory errors has two possibilities. They altered people’s memories for the smooth progress of their plans, but there are flaws in their technology. Multiple time travel occurrences have caused temporal distortions, and Eternal Life Technology is powerless to change the situation.”

Chu Shici pondered for a moment. “I understand the second possibility, but the first one seems unrealistic. Even if they have some kind of machine to quickly alter memories, so many people in the Empire wouldn’t willingly line up for them. The number of people is too large, and I can’t figure out how they would operate.”

Su Zheyan took out a crystal from his backpack.

He played with the crystal and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

“Perhaps there’s no need to line up. Something capable of altering memories has always been inside our heads.”
