Lin Shiguang guards a repair shop in the old city and deals with scrapped bionic bodies all day long.
One rainy night, he received a first-generation companion bionic body, number 0173, that was deemed scrapped and waiting to be smelted.
Everyone says that bionic bodies are just alloys and codes and have no self.
But the machine that Lin Shiguang awakened by himself broke away from the factory instructions and gave birth to his own consciousness.
The General Administration regarded the self-evolving bionic bodies as high-risk hidden dangers, and issued a notice to force them to be recycled and formatted.
On the eve of separation, 0173 split the key, half of which was sealed in his own chip, and the other half was secretly buried under Lin Shiguang's skin.
He calmly boarded the transport truck, leaving behind a promise that spanned time.
There has been no news for three years. Everyone said that the machine has been melted and everything is in vain.
Until midsummer afternoon, a strange young man pushed open the rolling shutter door of the maintenance shop.
Light gray eyes, constant paranoia and possessiveness - he is a non-human being who has returned from his body, 0173.
Many forces are watching, and the mysterious behind-the-scenes organization and the General Administration of Bionic Control are approaching one after another.
Can the code break free? Does artificial consciousness have the qualifications to stay in the world?
Lin Shiguang looked at the person in front of him who had returned from all the hardships, and said softly:
"Hello, non-human."
Intention: I wish you happiness every day
