"Ah, that's right..."
Raising his right hand, looking at the red rope bracelet tied on his wrist by a girl hand-woven, Shigemura took a deep breath, and said with a slightly trembling tone: "This is the last."
……
The eve of the solo concert.
Chen Mo went to Tokyo New National Stadium one day in advance to familiarize himself with the environment. The huge venue, which can accommodate 8 people, is very magnificent. Dozens of staff members are nervously adjusting the pedestal on the stage to control the direction of the lights.
Finding a seat in the last row, Chen Mo quietly looked at the empty venue in front of him, with only a few dozen staff members walking up and down on the stage, the lavender shimmer sprinkled on the seat beside him , the next moment, YUNA appeared in the spot of light.
"Chen Mo, what are you looking at?"
Following Chen Mo's line of sight, Yuna looked around for a while, and then asked with some doubts: "Is there anything interesting?"
Chen Mo shook his head, he didn't want to explain the complicated thoughts in his heart to this simple AI girl. Of course, even if he explained it, the other party probably wouldn't understand...
Seeing that Yuna's face was exactly the same as that of the girl in his memory, he suddenly smiled, and said, "There are a lot of good-looking things."
"what? What?"
Like an innocent eleven or twelve-year-old girl, Yuna's eyes suddenly showed curiosity.
With a gentle smile, Chen Mo said, "It's you."
"what……!"
The moment the words fell, Yuna suddenly uttered a short syllable, and then she lowered her head unnaturally, and a slightly pink color appeared on the side of her cheeks.
shy?
Seeing such a humane reaction from the AI girl, Chen Mo opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Although he knew that Yuna was like Yui, an artificial AI with self-growth and independent consciousness, but it was only a few days since Shigemura handed her over to him, right?Did she already know how to be shy?
If she continues to grow at this speed, it may not be long before she will give birth to a real "soul"...
No, maybe she already has a "soul" now?
Looking at this rapidly growing AI girl with scrutiny, Chen Mo suddenly asked: "YUNA, what is your dream?"
"... sing for others?"
This was not the answer Chen Mo wanted to hear, because "singing" was a hobby compiled by Shigemura Torudai into her program, and it was not enough to prove that she had the personality capable of independent thinking.
"Besides singing?"
This time Yuna's reaction became sluggish, she no longer blurted out as before, but frowning with a thoughtful expression, then she raised her head and looked at Chen Mo with sparkling eyes.
"I want to see the swordsman's monument...it's the one written in the memoirs of the SAO returnees, the swordsman's monument in the Black Iron Palace in the initial town!"
Chen Mo was really moved now.
There is no doubt that Yuna's words have gone beyond the logical emotions of AI, and what is contained in them are biological emotions like human beings.
Facing the girl who became a little excited when she talked about her dream, Chen Mo's face slowly sank.
He is clear about Yuna's fate... Tomorrow, when Toru Shigemura successfully took away the memories of the original SAO players, tens of thousands of people's collective brains were damaged. There is no doubt that Augma will come to an end, and as Augma's System wizard, the only ending for YUNA is to be completely deleted from the archive.
In other words, she will die.
"YUNA..."
"Ok?"
Looking at the girl sitting next to him shaking her legs gently, Chen Mo asked hesitantly, "Are you... afraid of death?"
"Death? What does that feel like?"
"Death is...you can't feel anything, you can't do anything, it's like you don't exist at all, you just disappear."
"Disappear...disappear..."
Chewing this short vocabulary, gradually, the smile on Yuna's face and the look in her eyes all turned into the most primitive emotion of a creature.
fear.
"No, don't...don't..."
As if grabbing the last straw, Yuna firmly grasped Chen Mo's arm, big and big crystal clear teardrops kept coming out of her eyes.
"I don't want to disappear! I don't want to die!"
Chapter 91 A Hero Beyond One
don't want to disappear...
Given a choice, who would want to disappear?
But Chen Mo, he has no choice now.
No... If he has to say it, he actually has another way to choose...
That is to turn around and go back, towards the opposite end.
"Chen Mo, will I disappear? Will I die?"
Looking at Yuna's tear-stained face, it was really difficult for Chen Mo to tell her the cruel answer.
