Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 550: Doubt 440

"I don’t know what a ’mecha soul’ is…"

Bai E’s eyes glazed over as he stared at the white exterior of the mecha, as if he were sinking into memories, "But I can hear it talking to me, whispering incessantly. I can’t make out the words; it’s like a hallucination, yet it also feels as if someone is really speaking into my ear."

A gentle hum rose by his ear, accompanied by a warm breeze carrying a faint scent, brushing past Bai E’s earlobe, "Is that so?"

"...Similar." Bai E’s heart skipped a beat, but he immediately suppressed the fleeting tumult, "However, it’s not clear, and as for the ideas I am about to have, it always seems to anticipate them. Since then, piloting a mecha has become easier for me. They say it’s hard for a person to drive a mecha, but it seems I can do it."

"Really?" Helen’s fingers brushed over the resolute face before her, tracing the jawline upwards, gliding over his facial features, and lightly touching his eyelids.

Her gaze was focused and cold.

"Pop~"

Completely unexpected.

A moist imprint landed on his cheek, and Bai E’s heart quivered, instantly suppressed by his self-control.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

He turned his head belatedly to look at Helen, who was retracting her charming face, with an innocent expression and a puzzled tone, "Professor?"

A meaningless smile flickered at the corner of Helen’s mouth, "It’s nothing, don’t overthink it."

After speaking, she glanced to the side.

In her heart, there had always been doubts about the true nature of this artificial human warrior.

Bai E’s performance was flawless, but there was an undeniable discordance with those tasks that required quick, witty responses.

She always felt that beneath this expressionless face, there should be another face, one that was cleverly crafted, hence... she conducted a little test.

But... there was no fluctuation on the instruments’ display.

Was this artificial human warrior really so innocent all along?

Although artificial humans were bound by ’thought dulling’, how long had he been in existence?

In such a long time, he should have developed a basic understanding of this world.

Was he truly ignorant? Or… did he have some special method to control his emotions?

Mechanics could only detect physical data, those special personal abilities were difficult to represent in data form.

"Ding ding ding~" The room’s doorbell suddenly rang.

The assistant’s voice came from the door, "Teacher, Marshal Weslin is here to see you."

"…" After glancing at Bai E, who wore an expressionless face, busy with the instrumental sampling, Helen replied loudly, "Got it."

The moment she stood up, Spiritual Energy released the brief suppression of her emotions, and a rush of crimson swiftly spread from her fair neck to her cheeks.

Testing Bai E was also a challenge to her own heart.

She was convinced that the brief stirring she had just felt was merely a primal urge of her body, but unfortunately... she had lost.

An admiration for the strong, pity for the weak, awe of the ability to adapt in a crisis, and reverence for the upholding of human values, miraculously merged all within the same individual.

’Should I hope that he has another face? Or should I hope that he is just a simple artificial human warrior?’

An entity that was mysterious, dangerous, yet irresistibly attractive.

Someone powerful, serene, and sufficiently reliable.

Can such individuals truly be deconstructed by science and then mass-produced?

A tinge of doubt crossed her mind as Helen stepped towards the door.
