Chapter 193 True and False (1)
Inside the Taffington Boathouse.
A dozen Brotherhood Knights huddled here, feeling that their future was as bleak as this hut, with no hope in sight.
Dans was among them. At this moment, he had taken off his power armor and looked very thin and weak. He had lost all his strength both externally and internally.
He couldn't believe that he was actually a synthetic human, the kind of synthetic human who had once slaughtered people like cutting melons and vegetables.
After hearing the news, Dans was completely stunned. He felt his head was buzzing and everything in front of him became dim.
Logically, Dans should have stayed in the Brotherhood to stand trial, but somehow, after receiving the news, he chose to escape.
Yes, this paladin who was stronger than steel escaped under such circumstances, and took away the knights who were also synthetic humans like him.
After running to this secluded place, Dans didn't know what to do. He just leaned against the wall, waiting for the judgment of fate.
The judgment of fate has not come, but the gift has come first.
Yi Beiwang kicked open the broken door of the hut, looked at the depressed knights, then looked at Danse who had lost his fighting spirit, and said with a smile: "Hey, this is not like Danse, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are so lame?"
"I heard you're a synth, what's that about? Share it with me so I can have some fun."
After saying that, Yi Beiwang poked Dans' head and was shocked by static electricity, confirming that he was really a synthetic human. He began to think about his next words.
Hearing these words, Dans's dead heart almost brought Yi Beiwang back to life.
He frowned, and somehow lost his confidence when he looked at Yi Beiwang. He sighed and said timidly, "Did Elder Maxson send you? Or Mr. Long Wande? It doesn't matter. I should accept my fate."
Yi Beiwang ignored him and instead conjured up some food and water and distributed them to the knights.
Then he sat in front of Dans, gave him one portion, and ate it happily in front of him.
Dan Si was puzzled and asked, "I heard that the Dragon people would let the people on trial have a full meal before they die, so this is my last meal?"
Yi Beiwang shook his head and said, "Dan Si, you know, I really hate you tin cans."
"You call yourselves knights, looking down on everyone from above, enjoying supplies and equipment that most people can't even dream of, yet you do things similar to us plunderers."
"Sometimes I wonder, why don't you just call yourself the Iron Reavers?"
Dans wanted to refute Yi Beiwang, but the current Brotherhood was indeed a group of high-tech predators as he said.
Perhaps the Brotherhood of Steel once truly served the country and the people, but now the Brotherhood has deviated from its original ideals.
Danse can't even argue for the Brotherhood because he's just a coward on the run, a synth that could go haywire at any moment.
Synths are enemies and will be controlled by the academy, this is what Dans has always believed.
Seeing Dans' hopeless state, Yi Beiwang sighed and said angrily: "Look at what you have become now. Do you still know who you are?"
"Dan Si, let me ask you something. Do you still remember Shisongzhuang and Keweijia Assembly Plant?"
Hearing these two place names, Dans seemed to recall something and asked, "Could it be that you are..."
Yi Beiwang nodded and said, "Yes, I am the plunderer who provoked you back then."
"Back then, you brought six knights, all wearing power armor. Seven of you killed your way through the Keweijia Assembly Plant and beat me like a grandson, unable to lift my head."
"But look at you now. Look at your behavior. Where is the dignity of a Paladin? Without that power armor, you are useless?"
"Now I am the leader of the Xinhuo Army, on an equal footing with your elders, and you have become a joke and a coward, hiding in such a hellhole."
"Fate, it's really a trick of fate!"
It's really fate that plays tricks on us.
But after the Weijia Assembly Plant incident, within only seven or eight months, Yi Beiwang's status and power soared like a rocket.
Dans, on the other hand, remained where he was, and was even kicked off the clouds, falling to the bottom of the valley.
Now that their positions have been reversed and they are talking face to face again, it is already very strong that Dans is in the mood to answer Yi Beiwang's questions.
Dans was scolded so much that he couldn't even lift his head. He waited until Yi Beiwang stopped scolding him before he slowly said, "Yi Beiwang, you're not a synthetic human, so you don't know how I feel now."
"I have memories from childhood to adulthood. I can control my own destiny, make my own decisions, and live my own life."
"But in the end, some people say that we are synthetics, and all kinds of evidence also show that we are synthetics. My memories, my life, and even my emotions are all fake, fake!"
Dans became more and more excited as he spoke, and punched the wall behind him hard.
He looked at his fist which had turned red from being punched by himself, and this real feeling seemed so fake at this moment.
It's just a piece of data, it's all fake...
Dans lowered his head, thinking so.
At this time, Yi Beiwang suddenly asked: "Who said these are all fake?"
