Chapter 129 - 120 Narrative Cage (10)
"Mom, I’m scared."
"Be good, it’ll be okay, don’t cry."
On the LCD screen, refugees comfort and encourage each other, praying for a miracle to happen.
Li Cheng turned his head and looked at Gray Rain with some surprise, not to mention her being a prisoner in the Narrative Cage (likely non-human), how much empathy and compassion she could have,
these refugees are most likely just false images created by the Main Character Effect Room.
Gray Rain guessed what Li Cheng was thinking and explained, "Isaac mentioned that he once tried to rescue a ship of Zeluo civilization refugees. This civilization used sub-light speed travel technology for interstellar colonization in its early development due to population shortages in the colonies, extensively using robotic labor, which resulted in some robots developing self-awareness and demanding citizenship.
Just then, the Zeluo civilization’s home planet erupted into civil war, and a nuclear war led to a massive loss of life. The robot city-states on the distant Colonization Star built warships to return to their home planet to help the government forces suppress the rebellion. This prompted the Zeluo civilization to eventually grant citizenship to the robots.
This tattoo is used to distinguish between robot citizens and native humans."
Gray Rain pointed her finger at the LCD screen, where some refugees had a concentric circles nested with triangles pattern on the backs of their hands, while others did not.
"To maintain his personality, Isaac often talks to himself in solitary confinement, speaking of some memories he can still remember."
Gray Rain said solemnly, "He didn’t clarify the cause and process, but the result was the only one. This group of Zeluo civilization refugees all perished, dying from a severe airlock breach."
