Chapter 139: Experience, Recognizing a younger brother

"Hmm? Regarding your question... I still have some memories of when we were normal humans, but not many. When our bodies were transformed by that bad old man Gero, he also made some changes and adjustments to our minds. Although he did not succeed, our memories were still greatly affected. What impressed me most was that No. 17 was my younger brother." No. 18 thought for a while and said, thinking that this was not something worth hiding, and whether there was any problem in telling Son Gohan alone.

As for No. 16, he was standing in a corner before the battle started. No one knew what he was doing. It was unclear whether he was counting ants or watching birds. As a pure artificial man, No. 16 liked small animals very much for some reason.

"That Dr. Gero deserves to die. He must have done a lot of bad things in the Red Ribbon Army. There are so many android models in front of you, maybe many of them were forcibly captured by him for experiments." Son Gohan said indignantly. Evil human body modification is the most frightening and disgusting thing.

"Yes, that bad guy is very annoying. We all hate him very much." No. 18 agreed with Son Gohan's statement.

"Then, sister No. 18, can you tell me about what happened between you two in the past? If you don't want to recall it, then don't say it. I'm just asking." Son Gohan said to No. 18.

"Haha, it's okay. I'll tell you about it. I don't remember much, so just listen to it as a story." No. 18 agreed to Son Gohan's request.

"My original name was Lazili, and No. 17 was originally called Lapis. We no longer use these names because our memories of them are already very vague. We were both ordinary people, but after being captured by Gallo, we were transformed into androids."

"Our initial resistance was futile. We could only let him transform our bodies at will. In the end, we became neither human nor ghost. However, as a result, we also gained power that is so powerful that it is unimaginable." No. 18 continued.

"It is because the energy in our bodies is too huge that Gallo no longer dares to transform us at will. If he fails by mistake, he will be killed by the violent energy. From then on, he can only make minor adjustments and threats to us. Our safety level has been greatly improved."

"I think that in Big Te's future world, Dr. Gallo lowered the energy of No. 17 and No. 18, and then changed their minds. This also explains why No. 17 and No. 18 in Big Te's world are so brutal and why there is a huge gap in their strength."

"We have rebelled against Gallo once before. At that time, we wanted to make Gallo pay the price with our powerful strength. However, we didn't know that Gallo had a backup plan. He created a device that has the function of stopping our ability to move in an emergency." When No. 18 said this, he clearly showed a gnashing of teeth. It can be seen that No. 18 is very resentful of Dr. Gallo, and is very unwilling to fail in the first rebellion.

Son Gohan did not disturb No. 18, but continued to listen to No. 18's story which seemed like he was venting.

"So, our resistance that time ended in failure. Because Gallo stopped our actions, we were forced into a dormant state and were locked in a machine for transformation. Until today, we have regained our freedom again. We learned from the lesson last time. This time we relaxed his vigilance and made him mistakenly believe that he had transformed us successfully. We took advantage of his unpreparedness and successfully snatched away his emergency stop device, and finally killed that old man Gallo." No. 18 said happily.

"Speaking of which, we really have to thank you. If you hadn't defeated Gallo and that Android 19, he really wouldn't have let us out like this. I think, if it weren't for you, it wouldn't be long before we would be completely transformed by that guy Gallo, and by then we would no longer be ourselves." No. 18 smiled when he said this.

"Dr. Gero is not a good guy. He is too cruel. Now he has been killed by you. You don't have to be controlled by him anymore." Son Gohan spoke at the right time.

"Yes, it really makes us happy to get rid of Gallo." No. 18 said in agreement.

"Well, what are your plans next?" Son Gohan asked again.

"Well... we haven't really thought about this yet. What we want to do is to defeat Son Goku, your father, first. His information on Gero shows that he is the number one master now. It will be very interesting to fight him." No. 18 said, looking at Son Gohan's expression. She was relieved when she found that Son Gohan's facial expression did not change. Because she had just told Son Gohan her true feelings, No. 18 now has a very good impression of Son Gohan. She thinks Son Gohan will definitely be more suitable to be her brother than No. 17.

Son Gohan didn't think anything of what No. 18 said about wanting to defeat Son Goku. After all, they only wanted to defeat him, not kill him. In the original work, No. 17 and No. 18 were like Emperor Yamcha, who had never killed anyone.

"So what do you plan to do after you defeat my father? Are you going to return to normal life?" Son Gohan asked again.

"Well... I haven't thought about this. Although we are artificial humans, our appearance is no different from that of ordinary people. We should be able to return to normal life as you said. But I have some doubts. With such powerful strength and few memories, can we really integrate into today's society?" When No. 18 thought of this, his eyes became confused and dull.

"It's okay. People like us who possess much more power than ordinary people are still living well in this society, aren't we? I've won a lot of awards in my school, and I always get the best grades in every physical education class. Even aliens like Mr. Vegeta are doing fine, aren't they? Don't be so pessimistic and worried. You will definitely find something that suits you." Son Gohan comforted No. 18.

"Well, thank you for your words, little brother. What do you think? Do you want to recognize me as your sister? I still want you as my brother very much." No. 18 said with a smile.
