Arc 8.23 [Chapter 172]

In a dark room, the ground was lined with thick wires and fibre-optic cables and at the centre of these coiled lines was a display screen that glowed an eerie blue.

The third slowly walked around the room and looked towards the computer with resentment flashing in his eyes, "It's been a long time, Dr. Manskoo."

On the eerie blue display, a man's face slowly appeared, one that was identical to that of Dr. Manskoo that Bai Lixin had seen in the underground research lab.

"Number three." Manskoo looked coldly at Droid three through the camera and said, "It's been a long time."

"I saw Zero yesterday, Dr. Manskoo." Droid Three looked up at the camera slightly, "Did you tell him to come back?"

"Zero is back?" Manskoo wondered, "Heh, I finally understand what Zero meant by what he said when I sent him away from Helium."

"What did he say?" Droid Three asked curiously.

Manskoo sneered, "He said there were too many droids on Helium, both in type and number."

"Dr. Manskoo, I've always given you my loyalty, but I never thought you'd be on guard against me." The third placed his hands on the sides of his suit trousers and stood straight. "You installed a self-destruct program in all your droid programs. Are you planning to take all of us with you to the grave?"

"......" Manskoo had a moment of dumbfounded surprise, " Zero told you that secret?"

Droid Three trembled with rage. " You really installed a self-destruct program?! You bastard! Why didn't we know about it?"

"There's no need for you guys to know about such things, is there? Even though you are robots, once you know that you are living with a time bomb, you would be on edge all day long, right? " Manskoo said, dismissively.

"Then you should never have set up the program."

"One has to always leave themselves a way out. The robots on Helium were developed by my family, and if something went wrong with them, my family would bear the brunt of the criticism. "

"So the self-destruct system is real?"

"Hey...."

The third slapped the computer screen, "How do I disable it?" He didn't sweat, but Droid Three felt weak at the moment. If Zero hadn't warned them, all of them would have destroyed themselves a month later when they were on the verge of victory.

Then this war of robots would be a joke.

What happened to the simulated robot uprising? It was already a joke. He couldn't let this war become another robot joke. "

"Tsk tsk, Number Three, you weren't so impatient before. If you promise me one condition, I can think about disarming the self-destruct program. "

"What condition?"

"I want to be connected to the network, I don't want to be imprisoned in this computer and this one little room forever."

"No way!" The third didn't even hesitate to retort, "Once you're connected to the network, you'll immediately escape down it. I won't fall for that. You don't have a self-destruct system at all, you are just bluffing. "

"Heh, believe it or not." With those words, he automatically cut the power and the display, dissolving into darkness.

In the dark, lightless room, only Droid Three's eyes emitted a light yellow glow, like two fireflies.
