Right on Target

The inspector turned a blind eye to the cat's tail, as if it wasn't him who was being poked. He moved his eyes to Su Heting, and there was a kind of "believe it or not" meaning in his eyes.

and many more.

— This look.

Su Heting pondered secretly.

- Does this look look familiar?

"People will bleed here." Yu Cheng, wearing glasses, interjected hastily, worried that Su Heting would not believe him, "In order to make the penalty area closer to reality, the main **** system sets people as fragile things that will bleed when injured, and will disperse when they die, so they can People bleed."

"Wait a minute," Su Heting recalled the last time he came to the penalty area, and his wandering eyes fell back on the inspector, "I remember that this officer will be resurrected."

He pronounced the word "sir" very clearly.

"That is-"

"That's a transfer of consciousness," the inspector took the words and continued, "I don't share the same setting with them, and when I leave for a short time, there will be an automatic adjustment device to repair my virtual carrier here. After the repair is complete, my consciousness will be imported again, and it will appear to be resurrected."

"Understood," Su Heting said, "your body is not in the farm."

Light track area-Humans in the farm are monitored by artificial intelligence. When they enter the penalty area, they are connected to a unified interface or chip, and they must follow the procedures set by the main **** system. Even with a jammer in hand, they will still be injured or even die. But the fact that the inspector can automatically transfer consciousness is too free, so Su Heting guessed that his body is not in the farm, and should be a smuggler like himself.

"Yeah." The inspector admitted it, but he didn't say where his body was.

Su Heting suddenly asked: "You are not a robot, are you?"

The inspector said: "...Let's just say it's an individual."

The new world is still unable to achieve complete consciousness storage, and they can only look for some possible bugs in a huge and complex virtual world like the penalty area. As the inspector said, he can only leave briefly, and if his autoregulator is destroyed and the dummy carrier takes too long to repair, he will also die.

Except for artificial intelligence, they can not only inhabit machines, but also live for a long time or even forever after the machines are destroyed.

"Since everyone is human," Su Heting asked, "Why did you chase me down last time?"

"Not sure about your identity," the bell rang between the inspector's fingers, "You are using the Xingtian interface."

"Then here comes the question." Su Heting took a deep breath, with a serious and confused expression, "Why don't you cooperate with Xing Tian?"

Xingtian is currently the strongest and largest armed organization in human beings. Their goal is to counterattack the light track area and liberate all mankind. If the inspectors are all prisoners in the farm, everyone's goal should be the same.

"The undercover agents sent by Xing Tian are all here to find the super-evolutionary system 'Jue'," Hua Zhi raised her hand to keep away the broken hair in her ears, "I guess Xing Tian must tell you that as long as you find Jue, you can destroy the main **** system, right?"

"Yes." Su Heting replied innocently.

"That's why the chief killed the undercover agent." Hua Zhi said, "We can find Jue, but we can't immediately destroy the Lord God system."

"You, you people who ran away from the big bang, are the last survivors," Hua Zhi tapped Su Heting's direction with her fingertips, "Xing Tian has given up the rescue operation on the light track area, we They were all abandoned. Once Jue falls into the hands of Xingtian, the punishment area will collapse, and we... hundreds of thousands of humans in the farm will die."

"Only by liberating the light track area first," Yu Cheng pushed down his glasses, "stop the operation of the penalty area, then we can go offline safely."

The sound of rain outside the car was very loud, blown into the car by the wind. The night temperature in the penalty area is lower than that of the black market, like the end of autumn in the old world, Su Heting felt the long-lost chill.

The number "hundreds of thousands" is too large, and the cries of so many people may be louder than the torrential rain in the penalty area. Their bodies are restrained and their consciousness is imprisoned, like lonely ghosts in the new world, floating in the shadow of the virtual world, and enduring the delay from time.

The atmosphere in the car was a little heavy.

After a while, Su Heting asked: "In this case, why didn't you kill me?"

"You have been in contact with Jue," Dongfang glanced at the inspector quickly, "haven't you been in time-limited hunting? We want to find Jue and talk to him."

"Ah..." Su Heting wanted to raise his hand to touch the tip of his nose, but he moved the inspector's hand again. He had no choice but to put it back, and met the eyes of everyone in the car: "Although I have a lot of words to prevaricate you, I still want to say, everyone..."

He paused in displeasure, wrinkling the tip of his nose.

"I lost my memory."

He didn't remember any time-limited hunting at all, let alone any super-evolutionary system.

The people in the car were quite calm.

Hua Zhi said, "Oh."

Yu Cheng continued to comfort: "It's okay, you can think about it slowly... Uh, I don't force it."

Very suspicious, these people.

Su Heting touched the tip of his nose with his other hand, and examined them: "I'm useless and still not killed? Save it for the New Year?"

"We believe... uh," Yu Cheng stammered when he was nervous, he frantically pushed his glasses, trying to use this to block his glance at the inspector, "I believe that you are a good person who loves the earth and unites with his companions."

Su Heting: "?"

Do you think so highly of me?

The atmosphere gradually became weird, and the eyes of the three people wandered, neither daring to look at Su Heting nor the inspector.

The inspector's hand stopped, and he handed the bell to Su Heting: "Wear it so it won't get lost."

Su Heting caught the bell, feeling as if he had been certified as a gang member. But he shook his tail at the inspector, and the tip "clicked" to fold and reassemble, turning into a small light that would light up.

He said: "I bring my own lamp and never get lost."

The inspector stared at the lamp, and Su Heting felt that his gaze had substance: "After sunset is the time of massacre, and the rain will extinguish the lamps of mortals."

The main **** system is the **** of the penalty area, and the programs they set are the oracles here. Even if someone can escape occasionally, other things still have to follow their rules.

Su Heting said: "The lights of stowaways will go out too? I come from the black market and should not be restricted by the Lord God system."

The inspector looked up and lightly touched Su Heting. His eyes were deep, without sarcasm or ridicule. His eyes at this moment are not emotionless indifference, but some kind of unspeakable loneliness.

He whispered: "Yes, even the light will go out."

The bell rang "ding ding ding", the sound was very light. Su Heting shook it unconsciously, thinking about that sentence.

After sunset is the time of carnage.

The car door was suddenly pushed open with a "snap", and a child in a raincoat crawled in. He unzipped the zipper, revealing an eight or nine-year-old face: "What about the wrap-up meeting? The wind outside is about to blow me away."

Yu Cheng quickly poured tea.

"This is the newcomer brought by the chief?" The child took off his raincoat and greeted Su Heting, "Hello kitty."

Su Heting said, "Hello, kid."

"Call me Xiao Gu. I'm not a child," Xiao Gu took the tea, raised his head and drank half of it, and smiled at Su Heting, "I'm 36 this year."

Su Heting lowered his body and looked at him: "Huh?"

"I was the first to be exiled into the penalty area, and it has been six years now." Xiao Gu held the cup and said old-fashionedly, "I really miss the time in the old world, it has been so long."

Su Heting asked suspiciously: "Are you 36?"

Xiao Gu was amused, and he stroked the non-existent beard on his lips: "There is a bug in it, if you want to hear it, I can slowly—"

Dongfang covered Xiao Gu's mouth and dragged him away from Su Heting: "Let the officer tell him!"

Like a gust of wind, he picked up the gardenia along the way, and then closed the partition in the middle with a "bang".

There were only three people left in the car.

Su Heting and the inspector were handcuffed together, and the free man Yu Cheng was still holding the teapot.

"I..." Yu Cheng's face turned red suddenly, he looked around, "Or I also..."

weird.

Su Heting stretched out his long legs, blocking Yu Cheng's way. He didn't want to, no, he thought it would be weirder to be alone with the inspector, so he bit the bullet and asked the question: "Do you all have shields?"

"Yes, mine are glasses..." Yu Cheng pushed the glasses again, looking like he was about to sweat, "The ones from Dongfang are cufflinks, and the ones from Gardenia are hairpins..."

"Sir is a cross star?" Su Heting said "Sir" as if he had bitten between his teeth.

Yu Cheng nodded vigorously.

Su Heting asked: "Then why is it my turn to be the bell?"

"Because, because..." Yu Cheng stammered again.

The inspector gently raised his hand and pulled Su Heting a little closer to him. He had a light smell on him. The exposed jaw line was smooth, and it appeared in front of Su Heting's eyes together with his Adam's apple.

"Because it's the last one." He paused, turned his head away from Su Heting's gaze, and said in a calm tone, "It's quite suitable for you."
