Min Di narrowed his eyes and asked sharply, “Since we’re all going to die, you don’t need to keep secrets anymore. Tell us, why did you drive to hit Tang Xuan? Is Tang Xuan’s death related to you? And that little girl, did you kill her? Why?”
“Not long after the experiment of completely transforming robots into humans succeeded, a war broke out in this world. It was a war between evolved robots and pure humans. However, this was not a war with guns and bullets; it was a war of infiltration. Under the guise of human appearances, spy robots infiltrated the government, agencies, and military... Pure humans were quietly exterminated.
The robots won. To cover up the truth, the government controlled by robots bombed all factories in the world, burying this secret. Only a few high-ranking officials knew about it. The other robots believed they were human.”
“And how does this relate to your killing of Tang Xuan?” Min Di pressed.
“I’ll answer that for you,” Hai Hao said.
“Oh? Please go ahead.” Du Fansheng became increasingly interested in Hai Hao.
Hai Hao continued, “Your target isn’t Tang Xuan; it’s Yu Feifei. There’s something about Yu Feifei that shouldn’t exist.”
Du Fansheng nodded and said, “She is the last pure human on our planet. The government has been trying to find a way to combat Jie Bo, searching for an antidote, but all attempts have failed.
The so-called antidote is actually the true bone marrow of pure humans. As long as Yu Feifei’s bone marrow is implanted, we can revoke the death code that affects all robots and save ourselves.”
“But you decided to kill Yu Feifei? You want to stop the decoding? You want everyone to perish together?” Min Di pressed further.
“Yes.”
Du Fansheng raised an eyebrow and spoke with the demeanor of a victor, “My public identity is that of a robot maintenance technician, but in reality, I have been engaged in research on robot evolution. However, I always believed I was also a pure human. During my research, I discovered that Jie Bo is not just a legend; it is a real deep-sleep software hidden within all robots.”
Unfortunately, I also discovered that I am not purely human; I am a robot. Then I found out about Tang Xuan, who shares the same DNA as me. Tang Xuan and I are the same model of robot. To confirm this discovery, I took a leave of absence from the company to find Tang Xuan. However, my actions were already detected by the government. To hide this secret, they orchestrated that car accident. We no longer drive ourselves; the vehicle relies on the Navigation System. They tampered with the Navigation System in both my car and Tang Xuan's. That’s why we collided at an empty intersection."
"How are you still alive?" Min Di asked.
"After I was hit, I was saved by them—those 'scrap' Cave People. You wouldn't believe it; besides me, there are many others on the ground connected to these people. The forensic expert who examined me at that time was one of them. This forensic expert wrote up a Death Certificate and substituted my body with someone else's."
"Why did these Cave People save you?" Min Di inquired.
"They also want to know the truth. I told them that 'Jie Bo' indeed exists. In fact, I had already discovered a way to eliminate 'Jie Bo' before the accident, but this is a secret known only to me. I never reported it to my superiors. I always thought I was human, superior to robots.
Who would have thought that I am also an inferior robot? I want everyone to perish with me. Besides, these 'Cave People' have hidden long enough; since they cannot survive like 'humans,' they should at least have death like 'humans.'" Du Fansheng said desperately and frantically.
"So you decided to kill Yu Feifei? What about Tang Xuan? Why did you want to kill him?" Min Di asked.
"That’s because when you shot Yu Feifei, Tang Xuan saw it, so you shot at him," Hai Hao explained.
Du Fansheng sighed deeply: "This is the arrangement of fate. Even if We are all robots, we cannot escape the mockery and control of destiny."
The singing in the tunnel grew more intense, like a prelude to a tsunami.
A black song filled with despair yet brimming with hope. Such a song only emerges when any being yearns for death.
Du Fansheng, Hai Hao, and Min Di simultaneously looked up at the clock to check the time.
Only a minute remains until the New Year.
What if, when humanity first designed robots, they embedded a self-destruction timer? In that case, all humans in the world would vanish at this very moment.
Because, We are all robots.
If that were true, did the original humans already set the "fate" for the "humans" of today?
