Daydream Theatre - C38
Although I can probably reach the Ms West’s home within two minutes if I arrange for an emergency route, but… Can we quickly convince this obedient daughter of ours who finally got the chance to use the Time Capsule?
“This lady, now is the time for her to die! Please don’t be willful. ” Jiang Xiaowei did not know of her situation, but she believed that no matter what urgent matter this person had, it would not be as important as Tomoko’s life.
“What?” Willful? I’m afraid that’s something I should say to you. ” The Ms White sarcastically replied, “It’s just a Bionic Human, so what if I killed him with one shot?”
Jiang Xiaowei was so angry that she couldn’t speak, and turned to me: “Mr Latimer! What was going on with this person? Was she a user of this episode? Could you arrange for her to use the Time Capsule next time? ”
I don’t have time to explain the specifics, because Ms White is about to go to the Castari … But maybe she could use it when she had three days off.
But she vehemently rejected my suggestion. “I don’t care what kind of important robot it is, I can’t fail my mother again.”
“It can happen again!”
“Hehe, can’t robots create another one?”
“Tomoko…” I can’t argue with that. “I mean, sigh…”
I asked the director through a hidden channel: “Can you do this, first lend it to Miss Jiang for use, and then immediately bring it back to fulfill Ms White’s wish?”
“Of course not,” The director did not seem like he was going to lend the Time Capsule to Moloch, “Firstly, this violates the contract. Second, once the Time Capsule is used, one has to recharge their Castari, so it cannot be used twice in a short period of time. ”
“But now …” I don’t know how to convince my wayward daughter.
“Latimer,” The director’s voice revealed his confidence, “You have done very well before. Our Access Rate not only reached the highest record, it has even far surpassed the Robot Theater.”
Is that so? I didn’t expect our broadcast of the kidnapping scene to be more focused on than the live broadcast of the kidnapping site itself. It seemed that the interview with Miss Frank had indeed caused a huge commotion. With the help of the Meditation Group Grandmaster and the Mr Eloi, the scenes here were indeed much richer than at the Robot Theater.
“So we decided to vote.”
Vote? I hate that word now.
“Let the audience choose whether the Ms White should hand over the Time Capsule to save the Miss Tomoko, or persevere and use it.”
“What?” I blurted out, “This vote…”
“Isn’t that an excellent idea? Not only can it make the audience feel even more strongly about it, the voting results can also help Ms White make a judgment! ”
“But it’s only been less than ten minutes.”
“I’ll count the votes in five minutes.”
“Fine.” Sweat trickled down my forehead as well. It seemed that everyone liked to play this kind of heart-racing game.
But I didn’t want the Ms White to hear about it, so I turned around and told the spectators who were continuously entering the hall about the vote: “Now everyone can go and vote, your vote will probably affect the choice of the Ms White.”
After I finished speaking, I turned to face Ms White once again. However, I suddenly realized that Miranda had already pulled her good daughter away, as if he was saying something to her.
After talking for a while, Miranda suddenly stood up and walked towards me. Lady Miranda, what do you want to say? ”
“What I want to say is that our business is not that important. As you said, if this thing really works… Then it would be the same if he used it again. Now, this friend of the Miss Jiang wanted to use it extremely urgently, so … “Daughter, what do you think?”
It was obvious that she was trying to persuade her daughter earlier, but Ms White’s tone was not stubborn or forceful anymore. He nodded his head, “Mn, I think what mother said makes a lot of sense. Although I don’t think the robot has life, my mother said at least it would stop the kidnapper from doing something stupid. ”
“So, you are willing to hand over the Time Capsule?” Miss Jiang cried tears of joy.
“Hehe, what is handing over?” White purposely hid the chest behind him.
“Ah, no, no, I am saying that we should give up. Ms White, are you willing to give up the Time Capsule? I really … Thank you so much! In the future, no matter what difficulties you have, we, Moloch, will personally help you to the end! ” Jiang Xiaowei skipped over to White.
“Forget about helping, I’m just following my mother’s instructions. You should thank my mother.” As expected, Ms White obediently handed the chest over to Great Broker Jiang.
“Okay okay, thank you very much Lady Miranda! We, Moloch, will definitely… ”
I pulled on her sleeve. There really wasn’t much time left.
I held the box in my arms again and asked the director, “Can I tell you your password in case of an emergency?” To be safe, the box containing the Time Capsule must be opened at the same time by my authorized bracelet and the password that only Director Andy would know. Director Andy paused for a while, as if confirming with the higher ups of Eloi, but not long after, he told me his password.
I think that’s not bad. Although he helped her nemesis, Moloch, he still showed the benevolence of our company. This is a stark contrast to the cruel and evil that Moloch showed in the court last time. I think that Mr Eloi would also be very satisfied with this result …
Before we boarded the private car prepared by Moloch, I saw that Mr Eloi still had not left, and Master Number Six had also entered the holographic sphere, as if there were still some things that he wanted to discuss with them. But I don’t care about that anymore. There are only six minutes left!
Moloch’s private car was so fast that it was faster than any other car I have ever ridden in. It seems like they still have their own advanced propulsion system that was announced previously.
In less than two minutes, we arrived at Ms West’s house. Frank was already kneeling in front of the Access Chair, she felt that there was no hope for the entire thing, while Moloch’s technicians were still surrounding the bomb, but their advanced instruments couldn’t do anything against the liquid bomb.
Even the screen behind the bomb was showing an unsightly video.
On the other side, the kidnapper was already starting to count down. “Mr. Roy, are you still not here to save your Princess Tomoko? In four minutes, she will die without a burial ground! ”
The Ms West did not care about what happened to Frank anymore.
Roy seemed to know that we were here to use the Time Capsule and wanted to hold the kidnapper back. “Ah Ms West, please think again.
“Humph!”
“Why bother with a robot?”
“Hehe, everyone thinks that this lowly woman and old woman isn’t as important as this robot. “In that case, what’s the point of doing anything for an insignificant person like me?”
“Ah, no, no. Of course you’re important. It’s just that if you can be rational …”
“Everyone thinks that I am more important than Tomoko. Frank, do you also think that way?”
Frank kneeled on the ground and shook her head violently. She was crying until she couldn’t speak anymore.
It seemed that this second round of voting had made the kidnapper even more determined to kill Tomoko. Since you all think that this Tomoko is so important, and that only Tomoko is your love in life, well, well … Then I shall destroy it for all of you to see! ”
She seemed to want to shoot, so Roy quickly said: “Aiya, wait, there’s still 3: 30!”
“Of course, Miss Tomoko, do you have any last words?” She pointed the gun at Tomoko’s forehead and asked with a teasing tone.
“I …” Tomoko looked at the webcast’s sunglasses with her eyes wide open. Did she feel the fear of death at this moment?
“I hope, I hope …” Gradually, her voice regained its calmness, and she revealed a look of indifference, which shocked me a little, but what she said next made everyone present and me sad, “Miss Jiang, thank you for taking care of me these many days, I hope you can live well … … “It’s fine.”
At the final moment of her life, she was actually concerned about her economy!
Was this her built-in program feedback, or was this some kind of real emotional expression?
“Foolish child … “Silly child …” It seemed that she was quite moved by Tomoko’s last words, as if she was talking to her own child, “Silly child, you won’t die. We can make countless Tomoko s, but you won’t die …”
But she was more looking forward to using the Time Capsule to redeem the life of this “unique” Moro. She anxiously asked me to take out the Time Capsule.
It didn’t take much effort at all to get the bracelet close to the black box, so I typed in the password that Andy told me. The moment I opened the black box, my heart was thumping wildly. I was afraid that what happened last time would happen again … But now, the Time Capsule was lying inside the box.
Three minutes.
I carefully took out the Time Capsule and moved it to the side of the deadly bomb. Then I asked Moloch’s men, “Do you know what to do?”
They nodded, obviously they had already prepared for this. They took out a mini robot and said, “Please put the Time Capsule in it, it will automatically spin three circles. Oh yeah, there’s also your authorization bracelet. ”
I started to remove the bracelet, but a strong hand grabbed my arm.
Let me take a closer look, it’s actually Ms White who came together with us!
“White… What do you want to say? “It’s too late.”
“You guys voted, right?”
“Who is it …”
“My ears are very good.”
“Oh yes, there was a vote.”
“May I know the result? Everyone, do you wish for me to hand over the Time Capsule for Tomoko to use, or … ”
“…” I was sweating.
“Could it be that no one wants me to keep the Time Capsule?” She smiled strangely, and I felt her grip on my hand tighten.
Two and a half minutes.
“Ms White, now is not the time to discuss about this.”
“Please tell me the result.”
“Why do you want to know?”
“It will only take a few seconds to say the result.”
“It doesn’t matter …”
“Hehe,” Moloch’s staff and Jiang Xiaowei seemed to want to pull the Ms White apart. According to the contract, I have priority in using the Time Capsule in this episode! Mr Latimer, please tell me the result, or else I won’t agree for you to use it here! ”
“But just now, you …”
“This is just a small request of mine.”
Two more minutes.
“But …”
“Is it that difficult to tell the result? “That’s why everyone hopes …”
I felt a swelling in my head as I watched the minutes go by. I didn’t know what to say to prevent the girl from going back on her word.
“Alright!” She suddenly released my hand, causing me to almost lose my balance, but luckily I still had the Time Capsule tightly in my grasp.
Then I felt my eyes brighten, and I felt a sharp pain on my forehead.
She stole my live sunglasses and put them on her head!
Ah!” I thought, this is not good, because…
“Very good, very good!” She clapped her hands, “I should have known… Just like how most people choose to sacrifice their Ms West, most people also do not think that I should hide my Time Capsule. ”
Yes, a large majority of them thought that the Ms White should hand over the Time Capsule to save Tomoko. This was what I didn’t want to tell her, and I was afraid she would change her mind.
“Ugh …” It is just some votes that should not be taken for real, Ms White, I want to do it now … ” I tried to give the Time Capsule to Moloch’s person.
However, she suddenly jumped to the side of the bomb and held it tightly, “I did not say that you are not allowed to use it, you can use it! Come on, let’s use it! ”
Moloch’s group retreated, afraid that the bomb in her arms would explode from the uneven force.
I looked at the time. There were less than a minute and forty seconds left before the kidnappers could kill Tomoko.
“What do you mean?” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Your mother promised us …”
“She doesn’t represent my opinion.” She put down the bomb and stared fiercely at the sky. “You people who came to watch this show have no right to decide on anything!”
She handed me back my sunglasses. “I want to immediately use the Time Capsule, I think I have the authority.”
“Right away?”
“Mn, please bring me back immediately. I will immediately enter the Time Capsule with mother. The live broadcast today shouldn’t have ended yet, right? Hahaha … ” Then she took the Time Capsule from my stiff hand and put it back into the black box.
“You …” Jiang Xiaowei’s eyes were wide opened, but she was unable to say a word.
I looked at the time on my sunglasses. Tomoko only had a minute and a half left.
Then, I also heard Director Andy’s despairing words: “Latimer, let’s leave. We cannot break the contract, this is Mr Eloi’s order. ”
“This …” I still wanted to refute something, but I felt that it was already too late, because Mr Eloi’s words were the royal decree. Say more … This has always been a matter of Moloch and the others …
Even though I tried to defend myself like this, when I carried the black box out of the Ms West Mansion, I didn’t even dare to glance at the ashen-faced Jiang Xiaowei behind me.
I’m not even comparable to a robot, I thought, Tomoko’s last words might have warmed her heart, but I, us humans … She had done such a foolish thing for her own selfish desires!
