Black dead branches thrust into the gray clouds, and the last leaf swirled and fell to the ground. For more than half a month, the sky was not sunny, there was no rain or snow, and it was so gloomy and cold to the bones.

The fog was very heavy in the early morning and did not clear up until noon. Looking out through the honeycomb-shaped window panes, it seemed that only different concentrations of gray were left on the palette of the world.

This is the second time that Nishino Yumei has been placed under house arrest in the Purple Star room.

During the "prison journey" for more than half a month, everyone was very polite to her and Qin Hao Huaibi. She knew that "Master Zhuang" was her colleague on the Yongle, but he never talked to her along the way.

I couldn't tell who he was just by looking at him.

The captain has passed away, and Chen Lu reunites with himself. Is he Murphy, Ling Shanggong, Joseph or Zenan Gotti? Could it be Wu Shuangxue? What happened to him or her?

Master Zhuang was sitting across from him now, and Nishino Yumei couldn't wait to pour out the questions in her heart.

The latter hesitated for a moment, then gently opened his hood, revealing a head whose skin was almost melted by heat. Black carbon residue was embedded in the pink new flesh, and a strong smell of herbs came to his nostrils.

Nishino Yumei exclaimed, covering her mouth with tears streaming down her face, and choked with sobs: "Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Joseph is the only one in Yongle who has beautiful and changing hair. Colorful hair can no longer grow on his burnt scalp, but the color of his pupils can change like his hair. At this moment, his eyes are filled with a gloomy haze like the haze outside the window.

Ash.

Joseph slowly took off his mask. His ears had been completely melted, the tip of his nose was gone, and a hole was burned out of his right lip, showing the sharp canine teeth up and down, which was unbearable to look at.

The muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was smiling bitterly, and his speaking voice was out of breath, but it was no longer the mumbling ventriloquism of Master Zhuang, but the sound produced by the vibration of his own vocal cords.

"It wouldn't have been like this. I was too careless!"

"How could this happen!" Nishino Yumei's chest was wet with tears.

Joseph shook his head slightly, his eyes gradually turned red, he stretched out his burnt black and dry fingers and took out the metal ball from under his cloak.

"You should have recognized this, right?"

Nishino Yumei wiped away her tears and shook her head gently: "What is this? I haven't seen it on the Yongle!"

"Come and say hello to an old friend!"

Joseph sneered, lifted the iron cover on the top of the ball, and pressed some button. The two round holes on the inverted triangle on the side of the ball lit up red, and an equally familiar voice came from the round hole below.

"Hi, Nishino!"

Nishino Yumi once again covered her shocked mouth with both hands, and it took her a long time to stammer out a sentence: "You... you are... Murphy?"

"Yes, it's me. Are you surprised?"

"Are you an intelligent robot?"

"Not entirely. I belong to bionic intelligence. My skin, flesh and central system are bionic structures, and my bones and computing system belong to intelligence."

"Then you're actually still alive?!"

"So it's bionic. As long as the brain is not damaged and the battery in the brain stem is not exhausted, I won't die!"

"But...how did you become...like this?"

Before Murphy could answer, Joseph had already turned off the power.

"Let me tell you the rest. Where to start?" Joseph thought for a moment, "We have to start from the base!"

"Trace it back to the base?"

"Yes, you know the Anti-Colonial Front, right?"

Nishino Yumei nodded.

"He is the bionic intelligent man installed in the space agency by the Anti-Colonial Front." Joseph flicked Murphy's metal skull.

"In order to cope with possible long-term travel to unknown universes during deep space voyages, the space agency has secret regulations that each starship must be equipped with a bionic intelligent person. Only the captain on the starship is classified. I opened him.

The database only read this kind of confidential information."

Nishino Hanami has too many questions, but what she wants to know most is why Joseph and Murphy became like this. "What accident happened when you fell?"

"I'll talk about this later. First, listen to me explain the ins and outs."

Joseph was a little irritated by Nishino Yumi's interruption, and the muscles on his right face kept twitching. He hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from his wide cuff, unscrewed the lid and raised his neck to drink something.

"My injury has not healed yet, and I can only rely on the ancient medicine on the Purple Star to treat it slowly. Please listen carefully and don't interrupt me!"

Joseph and Chen Lu are both starship exploration officers. One is cheerful and the other is calm. Joseph has royal blood and has always been elegant and luxurious with a smile. Now his burned face is tangled and twisted, and his personality has become surly due to a series of changes. Nishino

Yumei didn't dare to interrupt anymore.

"The purpose of the 'Anti-Colonial Front', as the name suggests, is to oppose the 'invasion' of earth civilization against extraterrestrial civilization. Their forces are widely distributed in the base, and there are many of their people on the earth. All human and intelligent members are top secret

."

"Murphy's mission this time is to find a livable Earth-like planet, and if there is no advanced civilization on it, then use certain means to stop it. Because he is a bionic intelligence, he can violate the robot if necessary.

The First Law.”

"Murphy woke up from hibernation after jumping out of the wormhole. On the surface, he controlled the starship to sail to the Purple Star in accordance with the space agency's secret agreement, and secretly investigated the situation of the Purple Star."

"As the distance gets closer and closer, the data on Purple Star becomes more and more abundant. He is 70% sure to prove that there is an advanced civilization on Purple Star, so he begins to prepare for 'destruction' work."

"There was an accident at this time." Joseph stuck out his tongue and licked half of his dry lips. It was unclear whether his eyes were filled with resentment or sadness.

"Murphy was preparing to plant a virus into the host computer to control Little Green, but at some point another virus had lurked in the Yongle host. This virus took advantage of Murphy's demolition of the firewall to get into Little Green, and

The firewall was quickly rebuilt using a programming pattern that Murphy couldn't decipher, and it did whatever it wanted on the host, and then..."

Having said this, Joseph raised his eyes and looked at Nishino Yumi, thinking twice before telling the truth about consciousness duplication.

"Afterwards, it tampered with Xiaolu's key source data. Because Chen Lu was responsible for the emergency protocol, the host had an accident. He woke up immediately and saw Murphy at the host terminal. He didn't know the truth about the virus and thought it was

Murphy is tampering with the Yongle, so go ahead and subdue Murphy."

"The anti-colonial law and the first law of robots are obviously higher level in Murphy's programming. If Chen Lu had controlled him at that time, it would have seriously violated the high-level law. Murphy's limbs belong to machines. No matter how powerful Chen Lu is, he can't resist it.

If you can't stop, you will be subdued by Murphy."

"However, after such a period of delay, it was too late for Murphy to intercept the virus. The virus took advantage of the two men's fight to infect and completely replace Xiao Green. It was so cunning that it immediately released a fake decoy and wandered around the firewall."
