[Detroit] No Paradise

The next morning.

"Transfer?" Hank looked at the doctor who entered the ward with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Yes." The doctor nodded, "Because of the bionic incident last night, our place is short of manpower, so it is recommended that the patient be transferred to a nursing home with more staff."

"Then the sanatorium is also out of staff?" Hank asked.

"That's true, but the sanatorium has been negotiating with the government and the simulated life, and they will be the first to open up the recruitment of bionics for medical recuperation." The doctor explained, "And their environment is better than here, and the patients recover faster. It will be faster."

"Will the FBI agree to let him transfer?" Hank remembered that there were still two agents standing at the door.

"The people from the FBI have already evacuated the hospital," said the doctor.

That means not wanting to care about Joshua anymore. The revolution of the bionic man was successful, and to a certain extent, Joshua's "crime" was also absolved.

Hank nodded, and walked up to Joshua to ask his opinion, but found that Joshua had fallen asleep, so he sighed helplessly.This guy stayed up late with me last night to watch the live broadcast. He was clearly in a mess and managed to watch it until late at night. Now that he finally fell asleep, I still don't want to wake him up.

Hank thought about it carefully, and felt that Joshua should not object to such things that are good for his body. As for the high hospitalization fees in the nursing home, this guy is very rich, so he probably wouldn't mind, so he asked the doctor He nodded and said, "Okay, then transfer."

"Then I'll have someone arrange the procedures." The doctor left the ward after he finished speaking.

Hank was about to sit back when he suddenly felt his stomach growling, and he realized that he hadn't eaten for most of the day.He glanced at Joshua who was sleeping soundly, walked out of the ward carefully, and closed the door gently.

Not long after he walked out of the hospital, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Hank picked up the phone, and the voice of his former boss Jeffrey came across: "Hank? Why aren't you at home? Where are you fooling around?"

"Jeffrey?" Hank was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this guy to call him. Hearing the tone of his voice as if he was visiting, he suddenly had a bad feeling, "What do you want? ? Didn’t I all resign?”

"Resign from your post! I didn't approve it again!" Jeffrey said, "Now a bunch of bionic people in the police station have run away, and there is no one to do things. I won't let you run away."

"No..." Hank didn't expect this to happen again. He was at a loss for words for a while, and then cursed after a while: "Won't you hire them back after they run away? What's the point of taking me back!"

"Listen, Hank, it's not the same now, and it takes a lot of messy procedures to hire back." Jeffrey said, "The policy on bionics hasn't been officially introduced yet, and there are a bunch of miscellaneous things. Things are waiting to be dealt with, please, Hank, this is an extraordinary time, so you can just treat your old friend as a favor, okay? You are the only one in our police station who knows the best about bionics, right?"

"I..." Before Hank had time to say anything, the decision was made over there: "Okay, then it's settled, you can report to the police station this afternoon."

"I can't go, I have patients to take care of!" Hank finally found a gap in Jeffrey's words and said angrily.

"Patient?" Jeffrey didn't expect this to happen, but he turned his mind and quickly thought of a solution: "It's easy to handle, just hire a bionic person to take care of it, I'll help you with this ... Hank, you are a policeman, not a nanny, don't be condescending. That's it, come to the police station after solving the matter at hand, please Hank."

After speaking, Jeffrey quickly hung up the phone, for fear that Hank would say "I won't go" to him.

Hank stood in the middle of the road holding a mobile phone, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After so many things happened, most of the anger in his heart disappeared, and he didn't reject going back to the police station. Jeffrey's cautious appearance made him feel funny instead.

After shaking his head helplessly, Hank was going to buy some junk food to fill his stomach.After walking two steps, he suddenly remembered whether he should tell Marcus and the others about Joshua's transfer.

Then Hank quickly mentally dismissed the idea.This group of guys didn't contact me after the victory of the revolution. God knows if they were too happy to forget Joshua. No matter what, they had to wait for them to contact me instead of looking for them themselves.

Especially a certain bionic person who is not shallow, hum.

……

Joshua felt the most peaceful sleep he had had in so many days.

A night without dreams, extremely comfortable, like being injected with a sedative, the kind that won't wake up even if the sky outside falls.When he woke up and opened his eyes, he realized that he had changed to another ward.

This ward is much wider than the previous one, almost twice the size of the previous one. There are soft carpets on the floor, white curtains drawn in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the heater continuously provides warmth, and there are bouquets of flowers on the bedside table beside it. The scent of flowers lingered in the entire ward, and there was even soft music playing, which made Joshua squint his eyes in enjoyment as soon as he woke up, and he was in a good mood.

Then he realized that he still couldn't speak, and there was no one around him.

However, not being able to speak did not affect his thoughts. He began to reminisce about the mood he had when he watched the live broadcast last night. At this moment, he was a little annoyed. If only he hadn’t been injured, he would have missed such an extraordinary creation of history. The scene of the moment, what a pity.

Now that the bionic revolution has succeeded, Marcus and the others, as leaders leading the bionics to freedom, should be too busy to care about other things.

While he was thinking this, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, accompanied by Marcus' voice:

"We just wanted to see him..."

"He's not awake yet." Hank's voice came.

"It's okay, we bought some fruit or something, just let us put it in." Marcus continued.

"Okay then, keep quiet." Hank ordered. "He was watching you all last night and fell asleep in the early morning."

"clear."

After saying that, the door was opened, and Marcus, North, Simon, and Josh walked in on tiptoe, for fear of waking up Joshua, looking like four thieves.

When they moved slowly to Joshua's bedside, they saw Joshua staring at them with big eyes in surprise. For a while, the ward was silent.Joshua couldn't speak, but Marcus and the others couldn't react, they were all stunned.

After a while, North was the first to react: "Ah, you're awake!"

"Ah..." Marcus also reacted, and said apologetically, "We didn't wake you up, did we? I'm really sorry."

Joshua shook his head with a smile, but his eyes drifted to the back of the four, trying to find the figure of someone he had been thinking about all the time, but he couldn't find it.

"After what happened last night, we have been busy all the time, and we only took a little time to see you now." Marcus said, "I hope we didn't disturb you."

Joshua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If he could speak, he would definitely hurt this guy. After only a few days as the leader, his tone of voice became like this, as if he was talking to a stranger.

"How do you feel?" Marcus asked with concern, "We bought some fruit... I don't know if you like it or not."

As the four of them prepared to visit Joshua, they had a very heated debate about what type of gift he would need.

Marcus thought that Joshua's hobbies should be smoking and drinking, but when he brought it up, North scolded him as an idiot. How can a seriously injured person smoke and drink?Fortunately, this guy has been taking care of patients for so long before, and he doesn't even know this little common sense. I'm afraid it's not because of the revolution every day that the software malfunctions.

Simon proposed to send flowers, but they didn't figure out what flowers to send after researching for a long time.Humans endow flowers with various meanings, and humans of different races endow them with different meanings. This makes the four bionics dizzy, for fear of misunderstandings caused by sending the wrong flowers.The most important reason was that they felt that the flowers should be sent by another person, and there was no need for the four of them to join in the fun, so this proposal was also rejected.

In the end, Josh proposed the idea of ​​giving fruit. Several people thought about it and thought it was more reliable. Marcus was going to carry a fruit basket each, and he bought four baskets of fruit in total, but North called him an idiot again.After buying so many fruits, Joshua probably won't be able to finish them all when they are all broken.

So the four of them ran to the hospital with two baskets of fruit, went in and went around, only to find that Joshua had been transferred to a nursing home a few kilometers away, which was a waste of time.

Simon and Josh put the fruit basket in their hands on the cabinet next to Joshua's bed. Joshua glanced at it, thinking of his current physical condition, he might not be able to eat in a short time. Time seems to have seen the dismal future where they rot into a heap.

In order not to let these fruits go to waste, it seems necessary to improve Hank's eating habits.Eat less junk food, eat more fruits, and start a healthy life today.

But of course you can't tell Marcus and them, so as not to disappoint their good intentions, after all, you will inevitably feel a little disappointed knowing that you have sent the wrong thing.Joshua showed a grateful smile and mouthed "Thank you".

His gaze had been wandering over the door of the ward intentionally or unintentionally, unable to speak, but feeling a little lost in his heart.

Is Connor not here?

"There are a lot of things to be busy during this period. When we are done, I guess you will recover almost." Marcus continued, "I must come to Jericho to have fun, and I won't say anything before coming to be a guest. Kind of polite words, in our opinion, you have long been a member of Jericho, and everyone regards you as family."

"Everyone in Jericho is very worried about you. You must take good care of your injuries and recover soon," Simon said.

Joshua nodded.

"We are really very busy these days. The revolution has just succeeded, and there are still many places to contact with the human government and model-controlled life, so we can't stay here for too long. We will see you again in two days." Ma Kus said slightly apologetically.

Joshua shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind at all.

The four walked out of the ward.

As soon as she left the ward, North looked at Marcus: "Is it really okay for you to hide it from him like this?"

"He'll know sooner or later anyway," Marcus said with a smile.

"You may not have noticed, but his gaze has been drifting behind us just now." Simon shrugged.

"I noticed that his eyes seemed very disappointed. Alas, I almost couldn't hold back and told him directly." Josh said.

"How long will it take to complete the formalities?" North asked.

"I don't know." Marcus shook his head, "It should be soon."

"He might be very happy when he finds out." North laughed.

A few people walked while talking, and when they reached the end of the corridor, the four met Hank who was walking back with a list.

Hank looked at the lines on the list, frowning, and almost didn't notice the four bionics walking past him.

"Hank." Marcus called to Hank.

Hank raised his head: "Ah, are you out?"

"Well...he's already awake." Marcus said, seeing Hank's frown, he quickly explained: "We didn't wake him up, he was already awake when we went in."

Hank froze for a moment, quickly nodded to Marcus and the others, and walked towards Joshua's room at a faster pace.As soon as he opened the door of the ward, he saw Joshua trying to raise his pillow.

"Hey! Don't move around!" Hank was taken aback, put the list in his hand on the bedside, and hurried forward to help.

Joshua noticed the list in Hank's hand and looked over it curiously.

Hanke noticed Joshua's gaze and explained: "This list was given to me by the people in the nursing home just now, saying that the simulated life sent a bionic to take care of you. Now it's different from before, and you have to hire a bionic to take care of you." Go through a lot of messy procedures."

Joshua nodded to show that he understood, and asked Hank after a while, "What about you?"

Hank understood Joshua's mouth shape, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I... When you get better, I may have to go back to the police station."

After hearing Hank's words, Joshua couldn't help laughing. The smiling Hank wanted to hit someone, so he held back for a long time before saying bitterly, "What's so funny!"

Joshua shook his head with a smile, and said, "You are really suitable to be a policeman."

Although he dislikes the police station on the lips, he still likes the profession of the police very much in his heart.

"That's up to you!" Hank snorted, picked up the apple in the basket and gnawed it, "Well, it's quite sweet."

"Don't worry, it's all yours," Joshua said.

"You don't eat?"

Joshua raised his finger and pointed to his throat, unable to even speak, let alone eat.

Hank glanced at Joshua rather gloatingly, and deliberately bit the apple in his mouth. The sweet aroma of the apple made Joshua, who had not been able to eat for several days and was relying on a tube to supplement his nutrition, heartbroken. Itchy.

hateful!Hank the guy!Joshua glared at Hank viciously. Normally, he would have yelled at Hank long ago, but unfortunately now that the tiger is in peace, he can't swear a word, and the fire is all burned in his body. I just feel sorry for myself.

Just then, Hank's cell phone rang.

"Who... calling at this time." Hank put the apple in his mouth, and searched for a long time with his hands in his clothes before he took out a mobile phone.Taking the Apple back into his hand, Hank glanced at the name displayed on the phone, and said helplessly, "Oh, damn it, it's Jeffrey."

"Called you to work?" Joshua asked.

"Probably...what the hell." Hank connected the phone.

If it wasn't for physical reasons, Joshua would have wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times, what kind of skill is it to show off in front of patients, and in the end he would be under the control of his immediate superiors.

After Hank answered the phone, he took a bite of the apple angrily: "Damn it, call me for any nonsense, I won't go."

"Go." Joshua urged him.

"Who will take care of you when I leave!" Hank refused.

"Androids." Joshua pouted towards the piece of paper on the table.

"He doesn't know when he will come!" Hank frowned.

At this moment, Hank's cell phone rang again.

"Fuck! There's no end!" Hank cursed, put the apple on the bedside, and picked up the phone again, "What's wrong?"

The other person didn't know what to say, Hank obviously choked for a moment, hung up the phone and said: "The formalities have been completed, and the bionic man will be here soon."

"Then you don't have to worry about me, go to work." Joshua said with a smile.

"I really don't need to worry about it?"

Joshua nodded.

Hank still looked worried, Joshua simply closed his eyes and said, "I'll go to bed if you don't leave, it doesn't matter if you're here or not."

Joshua doesn't want Hank to delay his career because of his own reasons. Hank is a good policeman. Although his file is already full of criminal records, there is still a long way to go and more opportunities in the future.

"Okay, okay..." Hank finally compromised, he picked up the apple he had bitten on the bedside, "Then I'll leave for a while, you have a good rest."

Joshua opened his eyes and nodded.

……

Hank left the ward, and Joshua lay on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze, feeling that he was really bored and didn't want to sleep, so he began to think of something that would make him happy.

The first thing he thought of was Connor. Before he could think about it further, a lot of yellow waste appeared in his mind.A celebrity once said that when a person is full of food and clothing but empty and bored, he will think about such desires, so Joshua naturally began to recall some strange things that happened in a small shabby house. Harmonious things, thinking about it, a certain factor in the body began to move around the corner, but the body couldn't move, which suffocated him.

Although it was uncomfortable to hold back, Joshua thought optimistically that at least it meant that his kidney was not injured, and when the injury healed, he would be a good man seven times a night without panting.After a while, he started to feel sad again, why didn't Connor come to see him?At any rate, I had a one-night stand, it was really ruthless...

Just thinking about the sad place, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

The sound of knocking on the door was very even, too even, and the interval between each knock was exactly the same, and it even gave people a creepy feeling when listening carefully.

Joshua was thinking about yellow waste while being sad, when he was suddenly interrupted by such a weird knock on the door, he was in a bad mood, but he couldn't speak, couldn't let people from outside come in or get out, so he could only lie stiffly On the bed, staring at the ceiling with a pair of eyes.

The person at the door didn't wait for a response for a long time, so he opened the door and walked in.

The moment he walked in the door, Joshua turned his head and looked over.

Connor was standing in the entrance hall wearing the uniform of model-controlled life. His figure was tall and straight, and his legs were straight and slender. There was an inexplicable dodge on Ya's face.He had a bunch of white roses in his hand, and the sunlight from the glass window in the corridor outside the door shone in, casting his shadow on the ground. At that moment, he seemed to be shining, pure and clean.

"Joshua, I..." Connor thought that Joshua was asleep, but he didn't expect Joshua to be awake. He wanted to organize his words in a hurry, but the negotiator module that Control Life is proud of In this situation, it was actually stuck, and I didn't hold back a word for a long time, but the LED light turned red when it flashed, and the software was unstable to the point where it could explode at any time.

The moment the software stuck, Connor subconsciously uttered his most frequently used self-introduction words: "I am Connor, and I am a bionic man sent by the control life."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself. Isn't this nonsense?Doesn't Joshua know who he is?Hell, he'd never felt nervous before, let alone crashed because of it!

And Joshua didn't listen to what he was saying at all. The moment his eyes touched Connor, the yellow waste in his mind moved directly to the bionic man in front of him. Reality and imagination suddenly overlapped, making him feel He exploded in an instant, his head was dizzy and he didn't know whether he was too happy or too excited, his heart was beating like thunder in his ears.

Connor came to see him?

really come?

He wanted to speak, but couldn't say anything, he just stared blankly at Connor.On the electrocardiogram at the side, the heartbeat rate suddenly soared, doubling directly in just two seconds.

This abnormal heartbeat caused the monitor to sound an alarm. Connor was startled, his hands shook, a large bouquet of flowers fell to the ground, and he rushed directly to Joshua: "Joshua? What's wrong? Why did my heart rate suddenly increase so much... My God, what is going on?!"

After he had just said a word, his heart rate suddenly rose to another level.Joshua looked at Connor, who was close at hand, and felt his brain explode, and his blood felt hot all over his body as if flowing backwards.

"I, I, I... I'm going to call the doctor!" Connor was terrified, and began to speak awkwardly. He was about to turn around and rush out of the ward, but Joshua held his hand.

Those hands were warm, and could even be described as hot. They were not strong, but they made Connor stop, and turned his head to look at Joshua in a daze.

Joshua felt a sudden sense of peace when he touched Connor's cold skin.The restless flame in his body seemed to be extinguished suddenly, leaving only calm and gentleness. He looked at Connor's anxious and even panicked face, and his heart seemed to melt suddenly, so soft that it was unbelievable.

He had never seen any expression of human emotion on this bionic man's face, until now, when panic and bewilderment really appeared on this face, he wished he had never experienced any negative emotions.

He wanted to use a smile to calm Connor's emotions, but he couldn't laugh no matter what. Instead, his eyes blurred, as if something had poked at the tip of his heart, and he could hardly restrain the urge to cry.

His heart rate slowly returned to the normal value, Connor looked at the numbers displayed on the electrocardiogram, heaved a sigh of relief, and his tense body also relaxed.

Connor felt that his nervousness had eased a lot after such a commotion. Although he didn't know why Joshua's heart rate was so unstable suddenly, he might feel that he was here to kill him... After all, he had done so many cruel things before awakening. It's normal for Joshua to think about ruthless things.

"Joshua, I will be your recuperating bionic in the next time." As an all-round prototype of the RK model, Connor can perform any type of task, and it is of course no problem to serve as a recuperating bionic." I...I know you probably don't trust me anymore, but I won't hurt you anymore...I'm sorry, I'm not the same as before."

Joshua looked at Connor's beautiful big eyes, then at the hands they were still holding together, and poked Connor's palm with his finger with a smile.The tingling sensation brought about by such a small movement made Connor's hands tremble, and he subconsciously lowered his head to look at the hands of the two. Joshua opened Connor's palm with his fingers, and then gently drew a line on the palm of his hand. a symbol.

Connor's eyes widened slightly.

—that was a little heart symbol.

It seems to be saying, I have given my whole heart to you, and I am talking about trust or distrust.

The LED light quietly turned red, and Connor realized that in front of this human being, his software was in danger of crashing at any time, and he didn't hate this feeling at all, and even liked it very much.

Like—this is the first time Connor has realized this kind of strange feeling, it is like a flower blooming in a barren snow field, breaking through layers of frost covering the ground, blooming in the cold winter In the wind and snow, under the ravages of the wind and frost, it grows more and more endlessly, and finally turns into a firework, burning this piece of snowfield into water for watering the land, and then blooming more and more beautiful flowers.

He used to worry about whether Joshua would blame him, or even hate him, but at this moment he found that his worries were completely unnecessary.There was only a soft smile in Joshua's eyes as bright as stars. Even though it was still snowing heavily outside the window, Connor felt that he had found something warmer than the sun.

He looked into Joshua's eyes and suddenly smiled.

This smile is no longer a mechanized smirk, his eyes really have a gentle smile of his own, which is a temperature that even cold optical components can't cover up.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Hank's voice came, with a little annoyance: "Oh, I'm in a hurry, I forgot the car keys..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

Joshua and Connor looked towards the door at the same time, Hank stood outside the door as if petrified, staring at Joshua and Connor motionless, his eyes fell on the hands they held together, the whole portrait It was like being struck by lightning.

Connor was taken aback by Hank's terrifying expression, and subconsciously wanted to pull out his hand, but Joshua clenched it tightly.

Joshua, on the other hand, had an upright and affectionate expression on his face. He looked at Hank with a smile, pointed to the small table with his chin on the side, on which Hank's key was placed, and signaled Hank to get it by himself.

Hank was silent for a long while, and he choked out an "excuse me", he didn't even want the key, and closed the door with a bang.

He stood outside the door for a while before he realized what happened. He subconsciously felt that he should get angry, but he didn't have any anger in his heart. Not only was he not angry, but he even wanted to laugh.

When he realized this, he found that the corners of his mouth had already curled up unknowingly.

"Damn, I'm so happy, you bastard whose scars are healed and forgot to hurt..." He laughed while cursing, shook his head and walked away.

This morsel of dog food was caught off guard, and walking a little longer would be a way to invigorate the stomach and eliminate food.

...but it doesn't seem that bad.

When Hank walked outside the nursing home, snowflakes fell, covering the lawn with layers of soft whiteness. Not far from the road, he saw Marcus and North standing together in the snow. The appearance of cuddling each other seems to dispel the cold in the world, and let the spring dawn come to this land in advance.

He quickly withdrew his gaze, shook his head helplessly, and thought bitterly:

All right, all of them have companions, right? Next time I come to this nursing home, I must bring Sumo with me!
