Chapter 192: Human... Robot...

Chapter 192: Human... Robot...

"Ah, I'm really sorry," Shinpachi quickly said, but then he suddenly reacted and looked at old man Gengai with a shocked face, "Old man Gengai, did you already know about Tama?!"

"It's all on the TV, okay?" Old man Gengai said casually, "But you really picked up an amazing thing. It's actually a robot that killed people."

"I always feel that Tama is not the murderer!" Shinpachi argued, "Because... Kawaki-san believes in her!"

Hearing this, Tama was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Do you believe...?"

"Is it that kid?" Old man Gengai chuckled, "Although it's just a wild guess, he really guessed it right."

As he spoke, Old man Gengai inserted a hard drive in his hand into the TV port, "This is all I can do. I'll leave the rest to you guys. Ryuzan that guy... Sigh, forget it."

"Old man, do you... know Dr. Hiyashi."

"I can't get along with that guy since the beginning," Old man Gengai did not answer directly. Instead, he turned his head to look at the robot he made, "The robots I create are unsophisticated as you can see, but that guy's creation was like a living woman. That guy focused most of his technology in the processing unit."

"What he pursues is to be as close as possible to humans so that robots have souls. He wanted to create humans. In fact, humans are just very sophisticated machines from another perspective, especially the feelings and heart. It is a machine that can be called a work of art. If you can make that kind of thing with your own hands, then you will have no regrets as a mechanic."

"Humans are not that simple!" Shinpachi shouted.

"Haha, what you said might make sense." Old man Gengai rubbed his bald head and laughed, "But who can tell how simple and complicated it is? There are many people in this world who are as simple as idiots."

Shinpachi couldn't help but laugh, "What you said is right. There are many simple idiots in this world."

"In fact, Ryuzan was not like this in the beginning," Old man Gengai continues, "He started to change when his only daughter died. An accident happened during the experiment."

"Experiment?"

"Ah, a genius-like experiment, but unfortunately, it failed." Old man Gengai explained, "He came up with the idea of converting human personality into data and copying it into a robot. The one he chose as an experimental subject was his own daughter."

"His own daughter?!" Shinpachi's face was full of disbelief, "Why! Why would someone use his own daughter as an experimental subject?"

"Don't get excited. Let me finish." Old man Gengai continued, "That daughter was originally a frail and sickly girl. There was no way she could withstand the experiment. So, his purpose... I think you have guessed it, right?"

"His purpose is..." Shinpachi gritted his teeth and said word by word, "His purpose is to let his daughter's personality be reborn in the robot's body!"

"You are right. The real purpose of his plan is to revive his dead daughter, Fuyo."

"Fuyo?!" Shinpachi suddenly thought of something and stared straight at Tama in his arms.

"Tama's model is Fuyo No. 0. In that case..."

"Yes, that's right. His daughter's name is Fuyo, and Tama is the carrier of Fuyo's personality." Old man Gengai continued, "In this No. 0, or rather Tama, has the data called "seed". It was to make Fuyo's seed "Blossom". To put it bluntly, it is the carrier of Fuyo's personality... In order to inherit the personality of his dead daughter, he developed a robot. This is the truth of the Fuyo Project."

"Transfer the personality to the robot... Could it be that Fuyo Project has succeeded?" Old man Gengai asked.

"No, at the initial stage, the No. 502 that can maintain the same personality data as the doctor gradually showed signs of rejection. The personality has already collapsed. The doctor has completely become another person." Tama replied, "All of this is part of his plan."

"A plan?" Shinpachi was puzzled.

"Yes, the plan is to forcibly recycle the problematic robot maid who is scattered everywhere in Edo and concentrate it in one place. Now, even the deputy director Meguro has been dealt with by him. It can be said that all the robots only listen to his orders now." Tama replied.

"Deputy Director Meguro? Is that the uncle on the screen just now?"

"Ah, yes."

"Then what is the purpose of No. 502? What is the purpose of him gathering those robots?" Shinpachi continued to ask.

"Dr. Hiyashi started to create a human-like robot for the lonely Miss Fuyo, who lost her mother when she was young." Tama explained, "It was to let the weak and sickly Miss Fuyo get rid of the loneliness and have a companion to talk to. At first, it was just a small toy."

"That probably changed when the doctor realized that Miss Fuyo would not live much longer. He began his reckless experiment continuously to let Miss Fuyo obtain eternal, which finally resulted in such a situation."

"The purpose of No. 502 is to make Miss Fuyo no longer feel lonely and let this country become a country with only robots. However, I don't think that it is the doctor. It is just the wreckage of the doctor's dream. I can't understand what I should do now that the doctor and Miss Fuyo are gone."

"That kind of thing..." Just as Shinpachi was about to say something but he suddenly saw a picture on the TV next to him. The picture was of No.502, or Dr. Hiyashi Ryuzan!

At the same time, this picture also appeared on the TV of all the people in Edo; or in other words, this picture appeared on the Tv screen of all the people in Edo, including Yorozuya and Yoshiwara...

"What is this guy trying to do?" Shinpachi gritted his teeth and said.

On the TV:

"To the citizens of Edo," No. 502 stood in front of the screen and said, "This city will soon be taken over by robots. The era of robots being dominated by humans is over. Fuyo, you are the only one left. Come back quickly. At that time, robots will become god-like existences!"

"Of course, if you choose not to come back, then these two... will be living sacrifices..."

After saying that, No. 502 took two steps back, revealing Kawaki and Toshiro, who was tightly tied up behind him...

"Kawaki-san, Hijikata-san! How could..." Shinpachi murmured, "How could the two of them be defeated so easily..."

...

Time went back by 20 minutes, and it was not long after Shinpachi left with Tama...

"Hey, hey, what's going on? There are too many maids..." Kawaki then smashed the two maids and said.

"But I've never heard of such a big maid party." Toshiro cut down the two robot maids and said.
