imperfections

The mecha skirted the "desert of death", leaving behind the gravitational pull of the last planet in the eighth galaxy, and the universe began to become very lonely.Wherever they passed, the waterway chart became more and more empty, and the celestial bodies they passed by occasionally had fewer and fewer names. In the end, only a few short codes remained, or "unknown areas" were displayed, and a large section of text and voice The introduction and data analysis disappeared, and gradually became occupied by the cold and unknown numbers and letters. At first glance, the channel image is a dizzying algebra book.

This is already outside the territory - this is the wild land, the dark land, the land where the fire of civilization has not yet reached.

Lin Jingheng was remotely connected to Venus, and quietly listened to Turan's report on the situation on Venus.

"The disinfectant has been exhausted." Turan had been busy all night, with a haggard exhaustion on his face, "There is no news about the one-eyed eagle yet, we have quarantined everything that can be quarantined, and now we are mainly waiting. Question, there is really no other way—General, I will temporarily find a god to kowtow to you, do you think it will work?"

"Stay honestly in the world, don't provoke the gods and invite the punishment of the gods," Lin Jingheng told her not to talk nonsense, "According to Hope's confession, the anti-black society is now in the seven galaxies, and their nest outside the territory is very empty. What do you think? Is the statement reliable? You have sporadically obtained information from the Anti-Black Society from seven other galaxies, can you estimate the current state of the Anti-Black Society?"

Turan said: "The Anti-Ukrainian Society is quite active in the seven major galaxies. Looking at it now, their strength in the domain has exceeded my imagination. If there are still a large number of troops outside the domain, how large will it be? I think..."

Lu Bixing listened with one ear but not the other to the discussion of war and national economy and people's livelihood. Up to now, whether it was the two of them who were going to the pirate's lair, or Turan who was staying on the morning star waiting for his fate, he was overwhelmed with anxiety. stage - the matter has come to this point, there is no other way but to struggle on the road of not seeing the coffin and not crying.

So Lu Bixing closed his eyes, gave himself a minute, and quickly cleared up his messy mood. He asked, "Zhan Lu, can you play some music?"

"Okay, Principal Lu," Zhanlu replied, "Which kind of music do you prefer? Here I have a collection of music libraries that have purchased copyrights from the space department of the Military Commission, or you can also choose to listen to my own creations."

Lu Bixing didn't expect Mensao's mechs to be so boring: "You still have your own creation? Give me a playlist."

Lin Jingheng was concentrating on flipping through the channel map that Hope had given him, and he and Turan were discussing the relationship between pirate forces outside the territory, without paying attention to them.

Zhanlu generously showed his "great" creation to Lu Bixing, and asked Lu Bixing: "I heard your unique confession on Venus, are you pursuing Mr.? Why don't you go to him and talk for a while ?”

"Do you think he has time to chat with me? I'm very inexperienced, Xiao Zhanlu, sometimes I can't think of so many routines," Lu Bixing spread his hands and sighed, "Besides, I just came out with him, Those few words are too shameful, the more you remember the more shameful, and if you go further, the boundary between chatting and harassment is hard to grasp. Hey, check your database for me. When watching human courtship, apart from singing Is there any other common practice besides sending flowers on the road?"

Zhanlu replied very proudly: "I don't think my husband likes flowers. He seems to appreciate fungi more than flowers and plants. A few days ago, he just asked me to clear the ornamental green belt on Chongsan, and asked me to plant mushrooms... "

Lin Jingheng glanced over coldly: "Zhanlu, pay attention to the abnormal energy fluctuations around you. You know this is outside the domain, and we are using the very easy-to-locate remote communication to contact Venus, right? Stop the irrelevant process."

"Okay, sir," Zhanlu said while obeying orders to expand the radius of energy collection, "By the way, encrypt your aesthetic taste data, understand."

After hearing the word "mushroom", Lu Bixing was stunned for a long time, then suddenly realized something, turned his head in disbelief, and looked at Lin Jingheng.

Lin Jingheng seemed to be devoting herself wholeheartedly to the study of the armed forces of the Anti-Ukraine Society, and the mental network throughout the entire mecha seemed to be blind.

Lu Bixing lowered his head, wanting to live in peace with him like a calm adult, but he couldn't hold back, a mycelium seemed to protrude from the distant Chongsan, holding a piece of his soul repeatedly, He was so fascinated by the pulling that he almost had to use all his strength to grab the corner of his mouth that was about to turn up to the sky. Lest Zhan Lu would notice it, Lu Bixing deliberately found something for himself to do, and said casually: "What did you just say?" It's all your fault for interrupting... Oh, yes, you want to listen to your song."

Zhanlu was very happy to show him his talent, but to be honest, his "talent" is really lackluster. No matter how real he is, he is still an artificial intelligence. The new data generated by the library, although the music made is quite satisfactory, but it is very empty and forgotten after hearing it.

Lu Bixing praised him out of conscience, and casually opened the last folder.

The last folder is "Nursery Rhymes".

"Mr. Jijia, you are very childlike." Lu Bixing said while ordering one at random.

The lively and cheerful soundtrack immediately filled the mecha, and Zhanlu followed the rhythm with his magnetic voice: "Little white rabbit, white and white, the spicy rabbit head is waving."

Lin Jingheng: "..."

Lu Bixing didn't expect that what he opened was not a folder, but a flying soul. He almost fell on his back, and hurriedly closed it: "Where did your unique inspiration come from?"

Zhanlu replied: "Master is drunk and talking drunk."

Lu Bixing looked at Lin Jingheng in the distance in horror.

"Not sir," said Zhanlu, "it was my former master."

"General Lu Xin?" Lu Bixing was taken aback, "What kind of person is he?"

Zhan Lu was silent for two seconds: "Sorry, Principal Lu, this part of the data is encrypted, so I can't discuss it with you."

"Okay." Inexplicably, Lu Bixing felt unreasonable regret in his heart, but it passed quickly, and continued to ask Zhanlu enthusiastically, "Then your current master doesn't encrypt it? Let's discuss him."

Zhanlu's basic personality is a cold-faced chatterbox, but this part of his nature is always suppressed by Lin Jingheng, and he has no artificial intelligence power. It is not easy to meet Lu Bixing who also loves to chat. Zhanlu's heroism is finally With a place to use their skills, the two chattered about the mountain under Lin Jingheng's spiritual net, and they were short of putting a plate of melon seeds in the middle.

"The database on Mr. is very comprehensive," Zhanlu said. "I have all the information on him since he registered as a Union citizen, including game records."

"Why are they all about operation and management games?" Lu Bixing watched and commented with relish, "Has he never played casual games?"

"To be precise, Mister never plays games of chance with randomness." Zhanlu said, "Because almost [-]% of them will lose—well, what you saw was a photo album. There are not many photos, but they are all precious. And when Mr. was a child..."

Lin Jingheng: "Zhan, Lu!"

Zhanlu kept silent on the spot, turned into a mechanical hand, and hung himself on the wall silently, as innocent as he could be.

Lu Bixing strolled unsteadily to Lin Jingheng's side, looked carefully into the isolation mask, and indeed saw the small veins on Lin Jingheng's forehead.

Lin Jingheng pretended to turn a blind eye to him, and Lu Bixing idly circled around him, making Lin Jingheng so upset that he could not bear to look away from the interstellar waterway map, gave him a stern glance, and he took the opportunity to stretch his eyebrows and reveal A big smile.

That smile was almost eye-catching, and Lin Jingheng's heart skipped a beat when he laughed, and she couldn't help being thankful that there was a double-layer isolation mask between the two of them.

"General," Lu Bixing leaned closer, and the isolation masks almost collided, "Did you promise to let me kiss you?"

Lin Jingheng looked indifferent: "...Are you okay? Why did I agree to take you out?"

"It's because you are busy with nothing. I guess you might have to make an excuse to overhaul the mecha armory later, just to not be alone with me. Why? Afraid of me? I guess you like me," Lu Bixing said boldly, " You are still growing vegetables for me on Chongsan."

Lin Jingheng: "What does what I plant have anything to do with you?"

Lu Bixing: "Don't you like me?"

"Don't like it, go away."

Lu Bixing sighed and sighed with twists and turns: "There are only a few days left in life, and the god of death is urging the horse behind. You still don't like me, and your heart is broken into dregs—say again, don't you like me?"

Lin Jingheng: "..."

Perhaps it was Zhanlu's "work" that inspired him, so Lu Bixing compiled the story of growing vegetables into a rap on the spot, humming around Lin Jingheng, buzzing triumphantly in his ears.

"Sit down," Lin Jingheng successfully ruled out the interference and remained serious, "I have something to ask you."

Lu Bixing: "Huh?"

"You said you were infected with the rainbow virus when you were a child," Lin Jingheng asked, "what's going on?"

Lu Bixing's little concert was successfully interrupted by a sentence from him. He was quiet for a moment, and then answered nonsense: "The eighth galaxy is the hometown of the rainbow virus. I haven't been infected once or twice. I am embarrassed to say hello to people when I go out. I just got infected casually, it's not a big deal, as long as I have antibodies, it will be fine after I wake up from sleep."

Lin Jingheng repeated patiently: "I asked how you got infected."

"How did you get infected? The traditional rainbow virus is only spread in those ways?" Lu Bixing pretended to be stupid with him, "Dust, contact, and carrion animals that accidentally eat sick corpses..."

Lin Jingheng interrupted him: "Does it hurt?"

Lu Bixing raised his head in astonishment, and met Lin Jingheng's gaze.The isolation mask seemed to add a layer of soft light to that gaze. In those gray eyes, the thick fog that had persisted for many years seemed to be blown away by the wind, and the line of sight became clear and narrow, clearing the entire abyss, leaving only A small reflection of myself.

Lu Bixing's throat was dry, and for the first time in his life, he felt the legendary chemical reaction caused by the collision of eyes. He shook his head unconsciously as if he had been bewitched by something, and blurted out: "The rainbow virus will dull the nerves in the later stage, but it will be like Like painkillers."

Lin Jingheng: "..."

He hasn't even started cheating yet.

As soon as Lu Bixing spoke, he came back to his senses. He never expected that an outstanding young scientist in the new ephemeris era would step on the ancient "beauty trap".He said this sentence casually, and there are more loopholes than words-what is "the rainbow virus has reached the late stage"?The antibody to the rainbow virus is effective in one shot, and it can be metabolized in a day or two. How could the one-eyed eagle let him experience what it is like in the late stage of the rainbow virus?

Also, what does it mean to be "like a painkiller instead"?

Where does this "reverse" come from?

Lu Bixing stammered uncommonly: "Uh, this..."

Lin Jingheng's brow slightly moved: "Huh?"

Lu Bixing remained silent for a longer time. Then, he didn't know whether he was asking Lin Jingheng or talking to himself: "If two people want to develop an intimate relationship, they must be honest to a certain extent, right? Since you ask, I will I shouldn’t just share happy things with you.”

Although Lu Bixing always pretends to be serious, he is absolutely unambiguous about his cunning. This will deliberately lead him to refute, so as to focus on the point. Lin Jingheng will not be fooled by such a brat: "For example Woolen cloth?"

Lu Bixing looked at him deeply: "Are you acquiescing? Acquiescing to try to develop an intimate relationship with me?"

Lin Jingheng knocked on the small table next to him: "Why do you know how the rainbow virus feels in the later stage?"

Lu Bixing found that acting coquettishly and pretending to be stupid could not pass, so he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and speak seriously: "The rainbow virus first came out of Prince Gloria's Rhine Castle Laboratory by accident, do you remember? Back then, Prince Gloria... that is, the father of Ares Von, spent huge sums of money on the Rhineborg Laboratory. It is said that the laboratory was so expensive that it almost dried up the bone marrow of the people of the eight galaxies. I believe his intention was definitely not To develop a plague virus, if he is just a perverted killer, then the cost is too high."

Lin Jingheng nodded: "Indeed."

Lu Bixing's hands and fingers were bound by gloves, and they were clasped together inconveniently: "The effect of the rainbow virus is to completely destroy, including your body's various organs and immune system. The infected person's nerves are blunted, and the pain sensation almost disappears. If the organ is transplanted at this time, Rejection will be minimized - so after total destruction, what's the next step?"

Lin Jingheng: "You mean..."

"Reshaping, evolving, transforming existing ordinary people into superhumans - I don't know if you have read the relevant literature, the rainbow virus can cause some cells to degenerate into undifferentiated stem cells in addition to maliciously destroying the body, it's a pity It will be killed soon... So I guess, Rainbow Virus is a semi-finished product," Lu Bixing said, "The human body is very complicated, and it can be modified at will. In addition to causing great pain, it will also bring all kinds of unimaginable follow-up. The question is——Lin, how can an iron statue be transformed into something else? Melting and reshaping, right? Do you think this idea is similar to the rainbow virus? "

Lin Jingheng said slowly: "If I remember correctly, Rein Castle was buried with Prince Gloria's family later."

"Yes," Lu Bixing nodded, "but some people's ambition to transcend species has not disappeared."

Lin Jingheng: "You refer to the later 'Nuwa Project' - the Nuwa Project is the remnant of Ruiyinbao."

"The eighth galaxy revolution was victorious, and it officially belonged to the Alliance. Fort Rainin was burned. This Nuwa project has been carefully disappeared for many years. It may be outside the domain, or it may be in other places that we don't know... I don't know," Lu Bixing said in a low voice. Said in a loud voice, "Until one day, my father received news that they were using exotic pet smuggling as a cover to continue human experiments. Almost everyone who survived had their relatives and friends taken away by the rainbow virus, so they Let's join hands and frantically track it down... My father is in the arms smuggling business and has a lot of people, so he got a clue."

When he said this, he was silent for a long time: "But he didn't say anything."

Lin Jingheng lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing something: "Why?"

"Because of me." Lu Bixing said, "It is said that when my mother was about to give birth to me, the starship she was on had an accident. He suffered fatal radiation, and it was almost a stillborn fetus. When he was desperate, he remembered the Nuwa project...It is said that there were successful cases at that time, but they failed to create a superman, it seems that they only created some exotic pets."

"For the first five years after I was born, I was a 'brain in a box', everything was transmitted to me through electrical signal stimulation, he hid the virus strain of the Nuwa project, and reshaped my body... ...It took a full 15 years, and there was a basement at that time, and the entire basement was filled with exotic pets he received from various channels."

"You can say that I am a man-made man, the ship of Theseus. The rainbow virus killed 3.6 million people in the eighth galaxy and saved me." Lu Bixing said, "I owe this place from birth."
