Chapter 4 - Lucifer

"An assistant? I never asked you to bring an assistant."

"Come on, your job is really hard. What's more, you're alone, aren't you lonely?"

"No."

"Sorry..."

The woman interrupted our conversation.

"Yes?"

"Mr. Ryu"

"Don't call me that, I'm only a few years older than you."

"Oh, Ryu!"

She said my name with a smile, and to be honest, her smile was really cute. It's the first time I'm fixated on a girl, she's the first person to make me like this.

"Ano... Ryu, am I not fit to be your assistant?"

At that time she showed a begging face before me, she looked like a child.

"Fine, I'll accept you as my assistant. But there is one condition, never disturb my free time."

"Okay."

She smiled so nicely, at that moment I thought she was the only human I could trust.

***

During my free time I don't rest, but do some experiments in secret. I deliberately manipulated the surveillance cameras with a program I had made, so that all they saw was me sleeping. Even though I was doing research that could be called very crazy.

At that time apart from making batteries, I also made custom-made cyborg eyes for myself. I use this eye to analyze various experiments, body conditions, and the condition of the electron energy around me. It took me about 3 days to finish these eyes, and finally was time to try them out. This experiment was classified as very dangerous because I had to let go of one of my eyes.

I desperately pulled out my left eye myself in the bathroom, no one was there so this was a really good time. Yuna goes out to buy painkillers, while lucifer is in a meeting with the damn bosses.

"Okay... I'm starting!"

I use gloves with a knife at the end, I slowly start to gouge my left eye. But... things don't go easy.

"Ah!!! It hurts!!! It hurts!!!"

The extreme pain could start to spread throughout my body, and immediately I cried, my left eye which was half out also came out with tears. It felt very sore, and fresh blood began to flow from my eyes and spread to my hands. It hurts so much, its hurts, I want to die!

"It hurts... why do I have to do this?"

For an instant I stopped, my eyeballs managed to pop out. But the nerves are still hanging, I want to stop torturing myself.

"No! I can't stop! This is all for freedom!"

I quickly pointed the knife at my optic nerve, and swiftly I cut it.

"Argh!!!! SICK!!!!"

The pain began to torment my body, I slowly put the cyborg's eyeballs into my now empty eye sockets. And after that I injected a serum containing a microbot that could immediately install my eyes, it didn't take long for my new eyes to be used.

"Finally.... let's try... Analysis of my body."

At that time I felt very happy because my first attempt was immediately successful without a hitch.

With a limp I walked to the bathroom, I cleaned up all the blood that was spilled and destroyed my lab clothes so as not to leave a trace.

After everything was done, I returned to my room wearing only a towel.

"Hmm, where should I put my clothes?"

"Eh?"

At that time Yuna entered my room without permission, and she saw my body which was only covered with a towel.

"Yuna, you're back already?"

"..."

"Yuna?"

"Eh! Ah! I'm sorry Ryu because you weren't in the workshop so I thought you were in the room, so I saw that six-pack body... I didn't mean to see your body! Here's the medicine! I'm sorry!"

She ran very fast and she also slammed my bedroom door loudly, whatever. The important thing is I got the medicine.

"Ah... the pain is finally over."

***

After that incident, I started various crazy experiments outside of my main experiment. Starting from increasing the RAM of my eyes, increasing the accuracy of the camera on the cornea, and making a cyborg hand for myself. It's been a few days but no one is aware of my eyes, that's natural because I made the design the same as my old eyes.

"Ryu, what happened to your eyes?"

"Eh?"

Yuna suddenly asked me about my eyes, did she notice it?

"What's wrong with my eyes?"

"You... replaced your eyes with cyborg's eyes, am I right?"

"How do you know?!"

I swiftly cornered her on the wall and slightly threatened her.

"Listen to me, it's not what you..."

"I know why, you want to run away from here right?"

"How did you..."

"I will help you, actually my goal here besides helping your experiment, I was also ordered by Lucifer to find a loophole so you can escape from here."

"That person... who asked you?"

"Yeah, and also... I admired you from middle school, you are my senior in high school, I admire Denki Kurokiba."

"Wait a minute, so you're my junior."

"Yes, after the rumors circulating about your death I was shocked and couldn't believe it. I kept looking for you, I searched for your house, I searched all over the city. Then I met Lucifer while resting, he immediately told me where you were without further ado, it made me want to follow you. And now I'm very happy because finally, I can meet you. I actually also already know that you use cyborg eyes and later this afternoon you're going to cut off your arm to attach those cyborg hands, right?"

She knows everything, what should I do now? All my plans are exposed!

"Don't worry, I'm not going to report this. Instead, I'll help you attach those hands, but... I can't bear to watch you torture yourself."

I don't know what am I doing, but I suddenly started hugging her, it was my first time.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Yes."

***

It took about 2 hours to cut and attach the cyborg's arms, several times I cried and Yuna also cried seeing me in pain.

After all, is done. We return to our main work. But suddenly the government troops forcibly entered my office, they carried full weapons and pointed their red dot rifle right at my heart. Without thinking they shot my heart through to my back.

Yuna immediately panicked and ran towards me, even though it was faint but I could see she was crying all the time. At the same time, Lucifer came with a large suitcase in his hand, he fired at the troops and led me away from the laboratory. He took me to his residence, there was a surgeon who seemed to be operating on me. I was immediately unconscious at that time and woke up in the morning.

When I woke up I thought that I was already in a room, and when I walked I found that the chest to my left was no longer the chest of an ordinary human, but the chest of a cyborg, as well as my heart. Immediately I heard an AI voice coming out of my chest, this AI calls itself Beta. Starting from there I completely became a cyborg, Lucifer and Yuna came with happy faces. They hugged me and held me tight,

That day did not just stop, this house was immediately raided by government forces. Lucifer attacked them all with all his might, but instead, he was caught and knocked unconscious. Now only me and Yuna are left, I don't know what happened at that time, suddenly my whole body was flowing unnatural electron energy which made one block of electricity go out. And when I realized that all the troops had fainted, I quickly took Yuna away.

"Wait Ryu, we have to save Lucifer!"

For the instant I stopped in the middle of the road, I realized that Lucifer wasn't a bad person. He was like my Friend there, every evening always accompanying me, always making sure of my health. He's... like my brother.

"You wait here, I'll be right back."

As fast as lightning I ran to the house earlier, and sure enough, his body was still there.

"Ah... Ryu..."

"Lucifer! Calm down my friend I will help you."

"No need, take a look..."

I saw his upper body which had been separated from his legs, here I can conclude that his legs were broken because of my electron energy at that time.

"Relax... it's not your fault... take this..."

He handed me something from his shirt pocket, and it was a perfect battery that I had done. He didn't hand it over to the higher-ups.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want your hard work...to be taken for granted..."

"I can still make it again!"

"No... you won't be able to.... because I've heard the higher-ups talking... that... I'm going to be killed... right after I hand over this battery... that's why... I rushed to pick you up. .. in the workshop... hehehe...."

"Shut up! Let's find a hospital!"

"No... it's too late... use these batteries... I already burned all your documents.... so they... won't be able to make... anything like this again without you... go.... go to a far place... don't get caught... go.... join AlphaOne.... even if you become a criminal.... but you will be safe... if they are in AlphaOne start...showing signs of...wanting your technology....then...you...should...run away..."

"Hey! Lucifer!"

"I'm... happy... because... you... finally... called me.... friend... hehehe..."

He closed his eyes and his last breath with a smile, how could I not care about it first? This feeling of regret still lingers in my metal heart until now.

And here we are now, in the AlphaOne organization. In the past, when I first entered, I immediately met my brother, it turns out that during this time he also joined this crazy organization.

"Yes yes, wait a moment. Beta!"
