Time-Limited Hunt

"You're a fucking undercover agent," the scalpel was furious when he heard the gunshots in the pipe, "You brought the Black Panther!"

Shi Shanyan raised his foot and kicked the iron gate: "Dogs follow the smell!"

7-004 was still some distance away from the iron gate, and he raised his finger to signal the team members to throw out the false incendiary bomb.The virtual incendiary bomb fell near the iron door and was blocked by Shi Shanyan's closed door. It exploded a wave of fire in the pipe, lighting up the space inside for a few seconds.

The scalpel raised the gun again, but the muzzle was covered by Yan Junxun's hand.

The images of memories in Yan Junxun's head are being superimposed, like a fast-flipping comic strip, Jiang Lian, the clown, Fu Chenghui and all the people he remembers are switching images quickly.He squeezed words out of the chaotic noise: "Don't shoot..."

"Who are you?" Pu Lin waved the flashlight, "Who are we getting along with?!"

"Shi Shanyan," Shi Shanyan pulled out the steel rod on the side and stuck it on the iron gate, "We have introduced each other a long time ago."

"But that's not what the shelter's receiver said." Pu Lin's white T-shirt had turned gray, and he raised his hand to wipe his sweat. "We found the last message received by the mooring area at the end, and there was a message That means 7-001 is dead!"

"Really?" Shi Shanyan stepped back half a step, and kicked the door when the Panther team tried to open it, "Then he must be dead."

"Isn't it?" Park Lin was about to go crazy, "Can you give me a detailed explanation! Are you a ghost?"

The iron door was rattled, and sparks exploded suddenly—a bullet hit the door panel.

"There is no way out," the scalpel threw away the cigarette from his mouth, "We all have to die here tonight!"

The observer squatted in the pipe, looked at the watch, and reminded 7-004: "It's already 0:05."

"Blast open the door," 7-004 said, holding his gun, feeling the water dripping from the top of the pipe on his face, "just shoot everyone."

The task time stipulated by Hephaestus has passed, and 7-004 thought of the combat command center.Although no one told him the exact news, he guessed that things would be out of his control after 0:[-].

7-004's eyes were at the same level as the scope, and he shot at the moment the iron door was blown open: "Fuck you!"

The shot missed.

The observers did not take the lead in charging, and the team members with guns went first.They flashed their guns towards the iron gate, but were knocked to the ground by Shi Shanyan's elbow.The team members fell to the ground and there was no time to rescue them, so the scalpel fired directly.

7-004 said: "Shoot!"

The bullet slammed into the iron gate, sparking tiny sparks.

The scalpel rolled in the rain of bullets and hid behind the cover.Holding the gun, he shouted out of breath: "Yan Junxun, give me another prophecy!"

The scalpel said that in 2155 "Mite" once got a "Yan Junxun". "Yan Junxun" told him that the world is deforming, a torrent is about to attack human beings, and only the shelter can save people.Now he still wants Yan Junxun to prophesy again, to give him a direction to live.

Yan Junxun's face was covered with sweat. When he saw the handshake between himself and Shi Shanyan, there seemed to be fire in his throat: "The world has been deformed a long time ago, and I'm not a prophet!"

Yan Junxun's head was filled with messy pictures, and his senses lost control after 0:[-], and this time the interference was more serious than Hephaestus.

"The Inspectorate calls me a genius, thinking that I can empathize with the murderer and reconstruct the crime scene with my perception, but that is all fake," Yan Junxun said, "Only Jiang Lian is right, I think Get the correct answer!"

Huo Qingjun's little robot appeared in the pipeline of the shelter out of thin air, and those graffiti are everywhere, all of which are man-made, just like the distorted world seen by Yan Junxun's eyes.He used to think that it was his abnormality, the experiment and the chip turned him into a monster in a deformed world, but now he dared to say that this world was abnormal.

Park Lin heard Yan Junxun's words from the other side, and said, "What is the correct answer? How could you have the correct answer?" His flashlight was completely unable to turn on. He leaned in the dark, upholding the spirit of seeking knowledge, "The case happened. You don't know when, unless you can go back in time."

The gunshots in the pipeline are still ringing, but there is dead silence here.

"No way," Park Lin said in horror, "You really want to say that time is going back?"

"It's not going back." Shi Shanyan's eyes were covered by his hair, and his voice was very deep, "Time will not go back."

Time doesn't go back, it just gets faked.

When the clown appeared, he mentioned the time many times. It was always urging Yan Junxun to handle the case, so he kept stimulating Yan Junxun with the sound of the timer.For the games it wants to make, "time limit" is an important condition.

Park Lin asked the question: "Who can fake time?"

"Memory," Yan Junxun touched his trouser pocket with one hand, and there was a paper frog inside, "Memory can be modified, as long as you keep deleting, you can live in a time period forever."

"That's impossible," Park Lin hugged his legs unconsciously, "It's impossible. Your memory can be modified, what about mine? What about Jiang Ge's? This area——"

Park Lin's voice was stuck here, and he looked at them with shock in his eyes.

"What the hell world am I living in?"

Park Lin thought of 7-004, this guy treated the victims in the Limpopo case very casually, and the management system treated him casually, as if they were all things that could be easily replaced and did not have precious lives.

The Northern Front Alliance won the Civil War in 2162. In that year, Yan Junxun woke up from the Black Panther's dormitory without any previous summary.In the same year of 2162, Shi Shanyan was expelled from the team, and the "black land" rumored that he was shot.

The Alliance bombed and abandoned the stagnation zone, but the residents of the stagnation zone knew nothing about it.In a world rife with systems and networks, the Mooring seems out of place.Those old steel factories in the area are neither recycled nor utilized. They are like scarecrows standing on the barren fields, scaring the non-existent birds and beasts.

The iron gate has been broken, and the gunfire in the pipeline has stopped. The atmosphere here is like a dull cloudy day before a heavy rain, and the two sides are at war.

Shi Shanyan said: "The light iron has stopped."

It has been a long time since the light iron that runs through the parking area on time has sounded, and the world seems to have stopped since they drove across the track.They ran here, but did not see the internal employees of the coke plant, only the huge chimney was still burning.

"Can we still escape?" Pu Linchao asked in the dark, but got silence.He stroked his sweat-drenched hair and said, "...I don't understand what the Artemis experiment is for, if I'm fake..." His eyes were sour, "Please, I'm sorry for Jue The intention is true."

There was a damp smell in the air, as if it was raining.

Yan Junxun is a child deceived by memory, constantly losing his sense of reality.The "eyes" given to him by Artemis did not bring him happiness beyond ordinary people, but brought him boundless pain.He was tortured every night.

If memory can be modified, then for Yan Junxun, there is no reality in the world.The people he faces and the things he experiences may all be false.He can't trust anyone, including himself.His true feelings can become a joke under the control of the system, or a record in an experiment.

"Shi Shanyan," Yan Junxun's voice was hoarse, "don't let me get lost in the dark night, I won't be able to turn back..." He fixed his eyes on Shi Shanyan's face through those chaotic scenes, " I think we've met."

Shi Shanyan could see Yan Junxun's face, but had the illusion that he couldn't touch it, which made him anxious.He raised his hand and touched Yan Junxun's cheek: "We have met." He wanted to trap Yan Junxun in his arms, "I came to you to fulfill my promise, happy birthday by the way."

Shi Shanyan didn't want to admit it, he also felt panicked.He felt these conversations happened.

Does it still snow here in winter?

Shi Shanyan once sat in the car, looked at the unfamiliar parking area, and asked Jiang Lian this sentence.He didn't remember which time he had been to the berthing area on a mission, nor did he remember seeing the snow in the berth area, but he asked so naturally that he didn't even notice the problem.

If memory is modifiable, he may be stuck on a path repeatedly for a fixed period of time.

"We can live until winter," Shi Shanyan bowed his head and got very close to Yan Junxun, "You take me to see the snow, it's here. I wake up in the morning and say 'hello' to you, and say hello to you before going to bed at night. You said 'love you'." There was something missing in his heart, like the time he couldn't grasp, and the memory that would disappear, "I will only love you."

This world is rotten, it has taken away too many things from Shi Shanyan.Up to this moment, Shi Shanyan only wanted to grab Yan Junxun.All his desires for Yan Junxun are real, so real that they are terrifying, and so real that they frighten him.

"You won't leave me," Shi Shanyan asked in a low voice, "right?"

7-004 adjusted the direction of the gun at the mouth of the pipe, and he felt that the water on the top was flowing more and more, like it was raining.He had to deal with Yan Junxun immediately, and a sense of urgency was urging him to take action.

Yan Junxun replied Shi Shanyan: "I will not leave you."

Yan Junxun appeared in the scope of 7-004, with his index finger resting on the trigger, breathing steadily in a moment of silence.

"Lie," Shi Shanyan stared at him, "You lied to me."

"Then you should punish me." Yan Junxun quickly kissed Shi Shanyan.

There is only one way to prove the truth.

The clown had already given Yan Jun a notice!What did that crazy man on the bike say?He said "we are one of a kind", he said "this is what happens to you".These things are full of warnings to Yan Junxun, the reminder has been given long ago, but Yan Junxun didn't notice it!

Yan Junxun pressed his hand on Shi Shanyan's chest hard, and pushed Shi Shanyan out some distance.He took a step back, raised his hand and nodded his head, and shouted to 7-004 in the darkness: "Shoot!"

Shi Shanyan's uncontrollable voice failed to stop 7-004. 7-004 pulled the trigger decisively, and the bullet came out in response, and immediately hit Yan Junxun's forehead.

The top of the pipeline collapsed suddenly, and the flood water from nowhere came down, covering everyone in an instant.

[7-001 account time is over. 】

[The time-limited hunt failed again, and the chips could not be recovered normally. 】

[I am Artemis, requesting a restart. 】
