Chapter 331
The livestream followed Elysia into the hospital basement. This was her mission site.
Everyone who saw Elysia instinctively lowered their heads and avoided her, focusing on their own tasks.
One of Stellan’s former assistants stepped forward to ask, “Miss Drayton, why are you here? Mr. Rockwood isn’t around. Do you need…”
“No, I’m not,” Elysia interrupted once again with the same reply.
The response was peculiar, leaving others curious about what she meant by not.
However, Elysia didn’t give them any time to ponder. She moved in a straight line as if she had locked onto her destination. The entire process was seamless, so smooth she didn’t even spare the assistant who tried to follow her a second glance.
When she reached the door to the laboratory, the assistant became anxious. “Wait! You can’t go in there. You need Mr. Rockwood’s password!”
Beep! His words were cut off again as the door unlocked.
Elysia had already entered the correct password and opened the door.
No one even saw when she entered the code. Her efficiency was unbelievable.
The assistant stared at the door as it closed behind her. Frustrated and helpless, he could only walk away, feeling regret for his earlier interference.
With her already knowing the password, there’s no stopping her anyway, he wondered.
Inside the lab, Elysia’s first move left everyone watching stunned.
She positioned her head against the enormous machine in front of her, awkwardly hugging its frame. The next second, her entire body began to glow with a radiant blue light.
[Oh my gosh! I told you Elysia was an alien, but you all didn’t believe me. Look at her glowing now. I’m betting she’s not even human.]
[Alien, my foot. Clearly, this is some kind of modification. Don’t you know anything?]
[Stop being stubborn. Humans don’t just light up like that. She’s either an alien or a superhuman.]
Meanwhile, Stellan, sitting in the driver’s seat, shook his head resolutely. “No, that’s not Elysia. Absolutely not. It’s more like a robot. Could it be that Elysia made a robot identical to herself?”
Standing in front of the machine was one of Stellan’s creations, an incomplete consciousness container already loaded with Elysia’s memories.
For some reason, this container had been unable to develop self–awareness, its cognition frozen at the age of 23.
‘But what is this robot doing? Stealing my tech while I’m gone?‘ Stellan wondered.
He paused for a moment, nearly steering off the road. Not that it mattered; he was nearly at the top. Soon, he would regain control of Elysia’s body.
What surprised him, though, was discovering that another robot identical to Elysia existed outside of his lab.
“Wait. That’s not quite right. The one with me is a humanoid replica, crafted from materials replicating human tissue. But the robot on the screen looks far clumsier.
Stellan smirked with pride.”
No matter how brilliant Elysia was, when it came to creating robots, she still lagged behind him.
‘It doesn’t matter. After all, we’re family. There’s no need to compete over who’s better. What’s important is that soon, Elysia will become the most perfect being in the world, he thought.
Silicon–based life was ageless, immune to injuries, and free from pain.
At this thought, Stellan’s heart skipped a beat. He realized he would die before Elysia did.

But he quickly calmed down. ‘It’s just a matter of discarding this useless body, that’s all.‘
By the time Elysia’s blue glow faded, Stellan had parked his car at a mountain lot.
This parking area was located on a tourist mountain opposite Cloud Mountain, with an aerial cable car line connecting the two peaks.
Naturally, Stellan, self–proclaimed as a genius, chose the less crowded path, avoiding the hassle of a packed crowd.
The moment he boarded the cable car, Elysia’s glow completely disappeared, signaling the end of the data transmission.
Her limbs started twitching, jerking awkwardly.
The robotic intelligence, Sim, had now acquired the ability to house both memories and consciousness.
Though its appearance couldn’t change, its voice, hair length, and even height were now adjustable.
At this moment, the robot displayed on the screen bore the form of the figure in dark robe on the opposite mountain, carrying all of Elysia’s memories up to the age of 23.
However, something seemed to have gone wrong.

Sim’s expression alternated between pure innocence and chilling coldness. After cycling through various extremes, it finally stabilized into a calm, indifferent demeanor.
Now, its movements were far more fluid compared to when it first entered the lab. But it was still missing one key component before it could truly become an individual.
‘There can’t be two of me in this world. So the next goal, eliminate one of them, it wondered.
This was the rule, the rule of how the world operated.
