Strong light blinded me as I opened my eyes.
“Android ‘No.4’, activate” came an old man’s voice.
Where was I? I didn't care about it.
“Listen, Android No.4, I'm your master. You must follow my order, okay? If you don't do it, Android No.5 will replace you, and you don't need to wake up anymore.” Seems that he is a heartless guy.
“From now on, you will group up with Android Pod 4 and finish the first mission before next Friday, get it?” the old...master said. I didn't answer, as I didn't activate my sound system yet.

Walking around the lab without a target was quite a waste of time.
“Good morning, I'm Pod4, your partner from now on.” A girl with long silver hair stood in front of me. Under her fringe, I could clearly see her emotionless light blue eye and a red sign, ”Po4”, on her right cheek under her eye. “Good morning” I answered her at a very low volume.
“Anything to do now?” She asked me with a smile.
Still, I didn't answer her, because I didn't know my schedule yet.
“That means no, right? You will come with me to have the training then.” Thus, we want a room which is underground. No light could come in, just like we can't get over our destiny.
And till the end of that week, we didn't leave the training room unless the master called us or we needed to have the maintenance. We kept fighting with each other for at least 4 days so as to earn experiences in a fast way.
Of course, we didn't just fight with our style. I've downloaded extra 5 fighting modules to fight with her.
But I was quite troubled as Pod4 can't load the fighting module and battle with me. After all, she was just a human, who forcibly transformed into a robot.

“Hey, what are you thinking?” Pod4 asked me with the same smile as I first saw her
“The first week of my activation” I answered her without any emotions.
“The first week? I'm quite surprised that you could recall the data now.”
“It's a gift from our new master. Recalling is one of the new functions.”

After the first mission, the old master gave us at least extra five missions to finish within two weeks. As one of the Androids, we couldn’t reject any order from the master.
“Stop taking commissions and doing your own work! Commissions would affect your quality directly. Plus, you have been reactivated for too many times this month! The doctor has already complained about this more than twice!”
I wouldn’t reject any commission that comes from anyone who lives in this lab too. Maybe it was a big problem,I always wanted to see “Doctor” to re-activated some part of my body. Pod4 always shouted at me angrily too.
This is the main reason why I stopped taking commissions for a long time.
But when I was finishing the missions, I found out one truth. The level of difficulties and dangers of the missions was way higher than we could handle. Sowhile doing one of the missions, Icaught Pod4 and escapedfrom the battle.
I got hurt, but I didn’t care about it. I’m an Android, I wouldn’t “die” unless my data had been damaged.

Finallyaround three days later, we went back to the lab by ourselves and our mind.
The nutrient tank and maintenance we need, which to keep our body alive, were both provided in the lab only.
I first thought I didn’t have emotions because it was too complicated, and I couldn’t run it at all. But I was wrong. I would never forget that feeling and master’s eyes.
I could see angry, happy and some unknown feeling clearly through the master's eyes. Maybe it came from the mission failed, or our action. Thus, that wasn’t important.
The second truth is we couldn’t resist our master.
I hated my master.
The third truth is the only thing we can do is take missions and finish them.
I hated my uselessness.
“A good killer doesn’t have “friends” or emotions. Both of these would affect their efficiency directly. And us, Androids, are forbaned to have emotions.” Pod4’s reminder keeps looping inside my head.
I hate my stupid. How could I possibly trust her words directly?
But I hate to see her get hurt more.
So I decided to make some changes in the style of completing missions since I accepted my feelings. I tried about ten different methods, like showing no mercy. I killed everyone who stays in the same room with the target. I even tried to turn myself off immediately when Android No2 said “Mission finished.” It was quite interesting to see their panic

A half year passed, our master had been assassinated by a man suddenly. Of course, we knew that our lab was invaded by strange people, but no Android cared.
“From now on, I am the new master of this lab. The first thing I wanted to say is, you are free now, Androids.” A woman who claims to be a government official said it proudly.
Due to the problem that we faced, we don’t know how to maintain ourselves and need the nutrients and to keep us alive, no Androids left. Thus, that woman truly became our new master.

“Hey Pop, your coffee.” “Thank you, Four!”
I can’t understand. Why can she drink such a bitter thing happily? Because she used to be a human? Or has my taste system caused a failure?
Well, maybe it’s her own habit. After the change of master, many Androids became more dominant and have their own style. Just like No2, he likes playing more than doing missions now. Sometimes even the master can’t call him to do missions. Of course, if the master orders us to do something in a serious attitude, we will complete it in the most perfect way.
Just when I think about it again, a voice brings me back to reality.
“Four! Err, not you bro, I mean sister Four. Is time to have dinner.” Android No2, I mean Two, shouted out loudly.
“Coming!” She shouted back immediately and ran to the lab. “I’ll come back soon, ok? Please don’t shut down yourself again!”

The sky is very beautiful today. Blue sky and white clouds, accompanied by the sound of birds flying by chance, I fell asleep again.
Correctly speaking, I quite like the feeling of having passed for a while when I reactivated again. So I turned myself off, again.
Well, goodnight.
