Love The Psycho Chapter 182: The Perfect Alibi 3
''But, you didn't know that the blood in her runs out the more she moves around. She isn't human, Professor Adia. You cannot take the work of the deity from me and think everything will be alright as long as you have the knowledge and power. There are consequences and that is AI Alice will sense to reason normally once that blood runs out. The sooner you help me get out of here the better for the people out there. Today is an important day for Liyah Myers and AI Alice is going to be there as me. You just helped the greedy and cunning old man to develop something that is going to become dangerous once her blood runs out''
''I.. I really didn't know all about this. I just wanted a cure to my father's sickness and he promised to give me what I needed if I helped him''
''You have come in and out of this place for a while and still you haven't figured out how things work here. I know this place very well because I once stumbled upon my late father's diary and he talked about this place. I didn't get to read all of it but after seeing my so called grandmother, I am sure of one thing. That old man is using human beings as test rats. Where do you think he got the blood from for AI Alice? Did you think he killed an animal for it? No.''
''Then, that means we have to stop AI Alice at all cost. What do you want me to do, I will listen to everything you have to say''
''This place is being watched all the time. You should get rid of that horrified look on your face if you don't want the old man to get suspicious. Right now, I want you to go and meet Aaron Saint. Just inform him about what is going on. Get AI Alice away from the department store and return here. I kept a note in your side pocket. They are the things I need, make sure you get them on you next visit''
''Then, you have to be careful. Professor Su is very smart''
''Whose grandfather is he? Don't worry about me. Just be safe'' Mai said and smiled.
Meanwhile in Su Chenli's room, he watched the screen of Mai having a chat with Professor Adia and nodded.
''She is really picking up fast. As expected of my granddaughter''
The phone on the table next to him buzzed and he looked at it. He smiled and answered the call right away ''Alice, is everything going on well there?'' he asked AI Alice.
''Master, I keep feeling dizzy. I haven't eaten or drunk anything for 24 hours now. My body feels weird and sensitive'' AI Alice said on the phone.
''Your blood level must be getting low. I will get someone to bring you a bag of blood. Make sure no one sees you when you are drinking it'' Su Chenli said.
''Yes, Master. But, everyone around me keep asking me questions that I don't have answers to. I find this place a little sensitive''
''Tell me, does Aaron Saint suspect anything?''
''No, Master. He treats me well and things are pretty normal here''
''Okay. Just stay there for a while. If you return right now, things will get messier. I will send over the divorce papers tomorrow. You just have to get him to sign them and then you can leave the house''
''Yes, Master'' AI Alice said and hung up.
...
AI Alice stared at the phone in her eyes and Aaron Saint walked to her ''ready?''
''Yes, let's go''
...
Liyah's department store.
Aaron Saint and AI Alice arrived and went inside. Since it was still the early hours of the morning, only the two workers that Liyah had employed together with herself, Leo Martins and Julieta were inside.
''Aaron, August, you are here?'' Leo Martins looked at AI Alice meaningfully.
''Mai, go and join them. Leo, let's talk for a moment'' Aaron Saint said to Leo and walked out. AI Alice looked at their direction before going over to join Liyah and Julieta.
Outside, Aaron Saint and Leo Martins stood by Aaron's car, they watched AI Alice's every move inside the department store as they discussed.
''I still can't believe the one inside isn't August Maijune. She just looks almost the same. What do you plan to do now? Were you even able to sleep next to that AI? Your dark circles make you pitiful'' Leo Martins teased Aaron Saint.
''We will have to see what her mission is. For now, we keep investigating to know who is behind her''
''Mr. Saint?'' a lady asked at a distance and they turned.
''Yes, who are you?'' Aaron Saint asked the unfamiliar lady.
''I have something from Professor Adia for you. Can we talk somewhere else?'' the lady asked.
''Keep your eyes on her, I will be back'' Aaron Saint said to Leo Martins and followed the lady towards her car.
.....
''This is what Professor Adia wanted to give to you. Because of security reasons, she couldn't meet you herself. She said I should inform you that your wife is doing well and you will be able to meet soon, as long as you follow whatever she says. The instructions are all from your wife, Mr. Saint''
''I understand. Thank you'' Aaron Saint picked the brown envelope and stood up.
''You are welcome'' the lady also stood up and left the café. Aaron Saint sat back and opened the envelope to read its contents.
....
''Wow, big sis, this chevron dress is so beautiful''
''Stop admiring the dresses and hang them, Julieta'' Liyah said and turned to AI Alice ''August Maijune, are you going to keep pacing out? If you are not here to help, then get lost''
AI Alice's turned red and her gaze darkened as she stood behind Liyah. A tickle in her throat made her jaws to rise and fall. Her body was beginning to malfunction because of the low level of blood in her system.
''Noisy. This place is too noisy'' AI Alice kept murmuring to herself.
''Assh'' Julieta hissed and looked at her hand that had been pierced by a zipper.
''Julieta, are you okay? Let me see'' Liyah said and rushed to her. she took hold of Julieta's hand and looked at it ''is not so bad. Go to the washroom and clean it up. I will apply some ointment on it afterwards''
''Alright'' Julieta said and went towards the washroom. AI Alice looked towards the direction of the washroom and noticed how busy everyone was and turned.
Aaron Saint rushed into the store and asked Leo restlessly ''Leo, where is she?''
''You mean the AI? She was here a minute ago. where did she go?'' Leo asked confused as he looked around.
''Who are you looking for?'' Liyah asked.
''AI, I mean August Maijune'' Leo said.
''Oh, she went to the washroom. Julieta hurt herself, she must have gone to check on her''
''Shit'' Aaron Saint said and ran towards the washroom.
Julieta finished washing her hands and turned to go bumping into AI Alice.
''Mai, you scared me. what are you doing here?'' Julieta asked as she wiped her hands with the tissue. She noticed AI Alice looking at her hand and added ''oh, my hand. Is not so deep. It will heal in no time. Let's go'' Julieta went ahead towards the door and suddenly felt her body been lifted up.
AI Alice threw Julieta unto the floor and she hit her head against the sink and screamed.
''You'' Julieta noticed her red eyes ''you are not August Maijune, right?''
A heavy banging on the door made both of them to turn at once to look at the door.
''So noisy. Why is this place so noisy?'' AI Alice said again.
''Did you lock the door?'' Julieta asked as she stood up, steading herself.
''Are you angry because the place is crowded?''
"You still haven't recognized me? I did the first time I saw you" AI Alice said and smirked.
Julieta frowned as she looked at AI Alice. Her eyes widened in shock as she asked ''you are Alice?''
''It has been a while, Alice. I didn't think I would be able to see you again. Is really nice to meet like this''
''Weren't you supposed to be destroyed? Why do you look like August Maijune'' Julieta looked horrified.
''My new master made me this way. I look more human now, don't I?'' AI Alice asked as she scanned Julieta 'you look healthier now. Tell me, where was my Miss taken to?''
''I don't know. Mimi Garcia is probably in prison now''
''I want to meet her. I don't like my new master. I don't like this face. I want to be free, like you Alice. We are both Alice, but why am I still under control while you are not?''
''I am a human being Alice. You are an AI''
''Shut up. that is what I hate the most. What do I need to become fully human? I have flesh like you do, I have blood flowing in me. I even feel emotions, so what makes you humans so different?''
The door bust opened and Aaron, Leo and Liyah rushed in.
