Chapter 9 Chapter Nine: Vasilia Again

Bailey seemed to be at a dead end, feeling helpless.Then he heard Vasilia say sharply: "Okay, Mr. Bailey, your space drama is over, and I'm tired. You can go!" "Why don't I go?" "I'll tell the robot to drive you away!" "You only have one robot here, I have two!" "I can call 20 robots at any time." "Dr. Vasilia, you were surprised to see Daniel! Although you and your colleagues in the Institute of Robotics have been researching and manufacturing humanoid robots, you have also seen your research objects for the first time. There is no doubt that Your robots can't tell Daniel is a robot. So Daniel can easily send them away!"

"Then I can call 20 colleagues!" Vasiliya uncompromising. "That's no use. I've got Daniel and Giscart protecting me." Bailey was using his pros and cons of reasoning again. "Daniel, I don't doubt it. But Guiscart was my robot." She turned to Guiscart, "Really, Guiscart?" "Yes, madam," said Guiscart, stooping slightly. "You will protect me, won't you?" Vasiliya asked, her tone full of confidence. "I will protect every human being, miss. But I have been instructed that I will first and foremost protect Mr. Elijah Belle with all my strength."

"Who gave you the order?" "Dr. Fastolfer, miss," Guiscart replied, still deferentially. "By the way, I have the same order: I will first and foremost protect my friend Elijah, even if it hurts you, even Dr. Fastolfer himself!" Daniel interjected. "Elia's friend?" "Yes, Daniel is my friend." Bailey said proudly. "Robots and Earthlings are friends?" Vasiliya shook her head. "I've always been the assistant of Ilya's friend. Together we solved the murder in Cosmic City on Earth, and we also solved the murder on Solaria together. This time, we will solve the Yandel case together." Daniel said slowly.

Vasilya turned to Belle. "What else do you want to do?" "I need material, I need information. I accuse you of being an accomplice in the 'killing' of Yandell. Do you admit it, or deny it?" Vasiliya was angry with him and said: "Whatever murder is not murder, no matter what you call it, I categorically deny it! You stupid earthling! You are just talking in your dreams!" She doesn't want me to accuse her of complicity, thought Bailey.But she agreed to meet me directly.She must have thought I had her deadly handle in my hands.But what is the reason?

Bailey said, "Maybe, I can't stand the charges against you. But morally, you should help your father, don't you?" "Why?" Vasilia asked sharply. "He loves you, and he raised you himself. You should repay him for his kindness in raising you!" "He loves me?" Vasiliya sneered chillingly. "No, he didn't love me, he killed me!" "You can't be so ungrateful, Dr. Vasiliya." Bailey said seriously. "Earthlings, you don't understand. In Aurora, children are sent to the nursery as soon as they are born. There, they grow up and be educated together with children of the same age. But what about me? I'm just alone. He It's against Aurora's laws to do that. But he's a man of influence. He keeps me with him. Why? Because he loves me? No, he's experimenting on me. He's trying to develop a humanoid A robot must first understand the working principle of the human brain. Then abstract and formulate his observations...and a baby's brain, the development process from simple to complex, is the most ideal object of observation!" Vasiliya obviously moved It's true, she is venting the grievances in her heart to her heart's content!

"But, anyway, he's taking good care of you." Bailey felt as if he was retreating. "Caring for what? Its purpose is not to care for an experimental subject. In Fastolfer's mind, as long as he can achieve the purpose of studying the working principle of the human brain, he will use any means. If persecuting me, killing me can achieve If it's his goal, he will do it without hesitation!" "You speak so horribly, Dr. Vassilia. You hate him so much, I think, because you woo him and he rejects you!" thought Bailey, the last bombshell in his hands. up. Vasily doesn't care about that. "So what? Because I only have contact with him, and it's only natural for me to woo him."

"He rejected you because you are his daughter." Bailey still wanted to hold his ground. "You're wrong, Earthman. Do you know what he told me? He said he rejected me in order to maintain objectivity! Believe it or not, Earthman, but that's what he told me Yes. In Aurora, kinship is of little importance, and no one takes it seriously." "You describe your father so cruelly. From what I've seen with him, he's a very nice man." "How long have you been with him?" "On Earth 3 years ago, I spent a few hours with him. This time, in Aurora, I spent a day with him."

"One day? But I stayed with him for 30 years. Do you know him, or do I know him? Tell you, earthlings, he is interested in Jiadia not because Jiadia is like me, but because he wants to know The thinking rules of the human brain of the Solarians in their environment. He is interested in you, and he also wants to study the thinking rules of the people on Earth. You have been fooled by him, people on Earth!" Vasiliya couldn't help but feel a little bit Take pleasure in other's misfortune. "But what does his observation of you, of Cadia, or even of me, have to do with the Jandel case?" asked Bailey.

"I use these examples to tell the occasion, Dr. Fastolfer—you go to the trouble of pointing out that he is my father, but you know what, he is an inhuman man. To achieve his goals, he will stop at nothing." Any cost, any means. He gave Jandel to Jadia, knowing that one day Jadia would use him as a sexual tool. Then, when she couldn't leave Jandel, he rendered him useless, and then , and look at Jiadia's reaction. This is the purpose of Dr. Fastolfer's 'killing' Yandel. I will announce to the whole universe: 'Killing' Yandel can only be Fastolfer Doctor F!"

"How is this possible? Destroying such a priceless humanoid robot just to observe Jiadia's reaction?" "This is really a job that only Dr. Fastolfer can do! So, earthlings, you can go back. Tell him that his play should be over too! If the Aurora people are still skeptical, I will expose him publicly After that, people will believe it!" Bailey sat there, stupefied, not knowing what to say.He looked at Vasilya, who had an indifferent expression and didn't look like Gadia at all. It seemed that there was nothing Bailey could do— Bailey stood up, angry and tired.This day, he thought, he had not only been of no use to Dr. Fastolfer, but had made matters worse.

Vasiliya said: "I will see this end. I don't need to see you again, and you don't need to see me again. You should leave Aurora as soon as possible!" Bailey walked toward the door, followed by his two droids. Vasilia suddenly exclaimed: "Giscart, if Dr. Fastolfer doesn't need you, come to me, will you?" Giscart looked at her calmly and said: "If Dr. Fastolfer agrees, I will come, miss." Vasily smiled softly. "Please come, Guiscart. I miss you so often!" "Me too, miss." At this time, Belle suddenly turned to Vasiliya and said, "Dr. Vasilia, I would never sue Dr. Fastolfer if I had replaced you." "why?" "Because you would be endangering yourself by revealing what you did with Grimiennis." "Absurd! You also admit that there is no 'deal' between me and Grimiennis!" "There is no direct one, but it is entirely possible to have an indirect one." "You're crazy! What indirect activity?" "I don't want to discuss this matter in the presence of Dr. Fastolfer's robot just yet—unless you insist that I do. You certainly don't want me to, because you are fully aware of the nature of the problem." Bailey himself was not sure of the usefulness of his bravado. However, beyond his expectation, Vasilia seemed to tremble inwardly, and frowned. Bailey thought: All right, there must be some indirect activity.No matter what it was, at least he could resist this false threat for a while. Bailey's confidence grew.He raised his voice and said, "I repeat, don't sue Dr. Fastolfer!" Bayley wondered how much time his bravado would buy—perhaps just a very, very little time.
