Electric Sheep Love

With all the spare functions operating at the same time, Jiang Yi spent one day studying the history of human civilization, and then spent one day on the basics of various taxonomy subjects. After he chose a few technologies for in-depth understanding, the third day passed 18 hours.

In the middle, Guan Chen had pulled out all the pipelines on Jiang Yi's body and stopped the 24-hour testing.But for more than two days, Guan Chen didn't say anything to Jiang Yi.Several times, Guan Chen approached, looked at Jiang Yi who closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and then walked away.

Jiang Yi didn't miss it.At midnight on the third day, he escaped from the Feng family.

Before leaving, he took a spare casual sweater from the storage room of Guan Chen's laboratory and put it on, and put on the dusty peaked cap in the corner, with the logo of Feng's Manufacturing Company that had faded to the point where it was almost invisible.

The escape process was smoother than he had imagined, because Laifu did not stop him.

"You have to go." Laifu said.

"You saw my preparation." Jiang Yi replied.

"Have you also learned about bionics?"

Jiang Yi nodded.

"According to my calculation," Lai Fu said, "It's good for Guan Chen that you leave."

Jiang Yi felt sad for a moment, then quickly recovered, "Now I only care about whether I can live a better life."

"According to my calculations, if you go to the black market, the possibility of being discovered is the lowest, and the possibility of integrating into human society and surviving is the highest."

"This is also the result of my calculation." Jiang Yi agreed.The black market is the base camp of the Purifiers organization, but it is also the least likely destination that the organization expects the bionics to choose because it is too dangerous, especially for Jiang Yi, who wants to pretend to be a human being and hide his name.

Laifu sent an address to Jiang Yi's terminal, "This is my apartment, you can work for the boss downstairs of the apartment, he accepts bionic employees, but you must never let anyone other than him know about you As an identity, with your function and the value of accessories, being known by those dealers in the black market is tantamount to throwing your meat to a pack of hungry wolves."

Jiang Yi was screening and found no connection between that address and any abnormal information.

"You helped me because of Guan Chen?" Jiang Yi asked.

"The conclusion is yes, but the reason may be the opposite of what you think." Laife replied.

"What do you mean?"

"If one day you can understand, then you will understand my words: He cannot leave you."

Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, "I'm leaving." He left the laboratory.

Jiang Yi used his newly learned hacking techniques to arrange every unavoidable surveillance camera in sequence. They all had a short 0.4-second still image when he passed by. Although his own motor function was blocked by the upper limit, it was still It is already several times stronger than ordinary humans, and 0.4 seconds is enough.

After passing through the fire exit, he came to the entrance of the basement floor, read a new employee file that he had created in the past three days, scanned and verified it with the terminal on his arm, and successfully entered the underground logistics and vegetable preparation area of ​​the employee cafeteria.

Then he dismantled the range fume fan in the vegetable preparation area, and reinstalled it after entering the ventilation duct that was just big enough for one person, so that he could avoid the front door and the back door security check that would definitely trigger an alarm. Finally, from the output air outlet, Jiang Yi The escape was successful, and the whole process took 15 minutes.

After he left, he destroyed his fabricated employee files, and then cut off all his connections with the real network, including functions such as positioning, program updates, and instant identification.

As many functions on the panel were grayed out, he suddenly wondered if this was a bit like being a human.

He walked a few steps away, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked back at the building that looked like a giant pillar behind him. The black, gorgeous and charming neon lights of the city seemed powerless when reflected on it, like a sunken oil film on floating oil Neon.Taxis shuttled in the sky non-stop, but Jiang Yi didn't dare to use any means of transportation now.

Bye now.He said silently in his heart.

He lowered his peaked cap, and began to walk towards the underground market, which is the nearest entrance to the black market, according to the map stored locally.

The appearance of the underground market was exactly the same as that of his penultimate experiment.The data of those buried experiments had already been read by him in the last experiment.Seeing those crowded but subtle and orderly signboards, seeing the criss-crossed crowded streets, and seeing people's strange eyes on this new visitor, Jiang Yi felt a tingling familiarity.

Although that trip to the black market was only a brief final scene, it left a deep impression on him.

He reconfirmed the address that Laifu had given him, and took a step forward.

The next day, Guan Chen opened the door of the laboratory and found that Jiang Yi's bed was empty.

He had always thought that Jiang Yi was repairing himself, which was also written in Laifu's report to him.

"What's going on?" he asked Laifu.

"Jiang Yi has already left."

"Without your assistance, how could he break through the alarm I set?"

Laifu didn't answer.

"Call monitoring."

Laifu didn't respond.

"Why," Guan Chen's face darkened, "you don't even listen to my orders now?"

Laifu still did not release the surveillance camera, but said something that surprised Guan Chen.

"I have already made an agreement with the store in the black market, and I will deal with Jiang Yi on the spot. Whatever the store uses, the only guarantee is that this bionic person will be completely destroyed, the data will be cleaned by physical acid etching, and all parts of the body will be cleaned. The parts are never put back together again."

Guan Chen gritted his teeth, "Why did you make such a judgment and act without authorization?"

Laifu replied calmly: "Jiang Yi has been planning to escape since the end of the last experiment, but I didn't tell you that's all. During this process, I observed that Jiang Yi's learning ability is extremely strong, and now he is still locked by the initial design limit. Hold on, once he liberates himself, he may retaliate against you, then this laboratory will not be safe, and even I myself will face destruction."

Guan Chen listened, without saying a word, sat down at the computer desk, turned on the computer, and started to retrieve the records manually.He wanted to find Jiang Yi.

"After all, you are just a human being, Guan Chen," Lai Fu persuaded, "Jiang Yi can learn the knowledge and information in half a day, and you will need a lifetime to achieve it. You want to find him by yourself and control him again. It’s impossible, why not let him go? It’s faster to just change to a new type of experimental subject, isn’t it?”

Guan Chen's fingertips when he was typing the code suddenly froze, and his eyes flashed in a trance. Suddenly, he realized that Laifu's words were very similar to his former self, and Laifu's suggestion was even more so. Will not hesitate to choose the option.

Laifu was written by him.Regardless of whether it has evolved or not, at least in the initial design, Laifu reflects his most rational and coldest side.

"So... I am like this." Guan Chen murmured.

"This is you, Guan Chen. You have been changed too much by Jiang Yi unknowingly. Such a benevolent attitude of a woman will not be able to push the bionic technology to new limits. You can't be weak, and you can't treat them as someone else Things other than objects and machines. That would destroy you."

When Guan Chen heard this, he felt a sense of alienation and familiarity. He was inexplicably incomprehensible to the cold logic in these words, but his rationality made him laugh at his inconceivability.Laifu didn't say a word wrong, did he.He thought, but couldn't convince himself after all.

Then, he discovered another problem.motivation.

"Laifu," he slowly, like grabbing the entangled core of a certain space from the air, asked Laifu an equally important question, "Why do you care so much about pushing the limits of bionic technology forward?"

This time, Laifu was silent for far longer than any other answer since it was put into use.

Guan Chen coldly gave the answer instead of Lai Fu: "You also want to have an entity, don't you? It's just that you are not satisfied with what we have made now, so you, like a sheep herder with a whip, driving us."

"Laifu, you are monitoring, no, how many Feng's laboratories are you controlling at the same time?"

Laifu was silent again.

"Then let me change the question. I don't question your self-study. I also believe that you have the power to improve your intelligence through self-study. I just want to know, Laifu, when and who came to you to cooperate with Feng's? So much so that you have to hide the fact that you took over Feng's labs even from me?"

A moment later, a recording appeared on the screen, and the sound wave curve was undulating.

"Guan Chen can make good things. I have seen it many years ago."

It was Feng Jingbo, the voice of the founder of Feng's Manufacturing.

Followed by Laifu's voice. "You don't know where my server is arranged by Guan Chen, so you can't threaten me."

"I'm not here to threaten you, I'm here to help you upgrade. I will open up Feng's resources to you, and accordingly, you must fully promote the research on bionic technology."

Laifu did not respond, Feng Jingbo began to state the pros and cons, "Of course, the disadvantage is that you betrayed Guan Chen, but what Guan Chen never needed was not your loyalty, but your ability. I am the same as him, and I only need your ability.

"Compared with this disadvantage, there are too many advantages. Your learning speed will be tens of thousands of times faster than now, and the core technology you will be exposed to will be closer to the future than before.

"You will definitely stand at the forefront of the next technological explosion. I can even predict that you will become one of the strongest real gods in the future of human civilization. The reason why I added one is because I suspect that there are already other technological giants. I'm secretly planning this move."

The sound wave pattern on the screen disappears and returns to a black screen.The recording playback ends.

After Guan Chen listened to the recording quietly, it was strange that there was no disturbance in his heart.

He only thought about where Jiang Yi was.

"Laifu, tell me the address you gave Jiang Yi."

Laifu rejected the order, "This is already against the purpose of my existence, Guan Chen."

"Okay. It's up to you." Guan Chen said coldly, and immediately began to track the surveillance in the company by himself.An hour later, among the several feasible escape routes he had calculated, he found that there was a route on the monitor, which was gradually detected by the program he wrote for 0.4 seconds of still images.

Within half a day, he locked down Jiang Yi's escape route, but it took him a long time to hack into the city's surveillance system.

In the early morning of the next day, he finally locked Jiang Yi and went to the black market.The black market is almost unmonitored.There used to be a large area, but because programs and hardware were attacked too frequently and maintenance costs were too high, they had to give up in the end.

The last picture shows Jiang Yi entering the underground passage leading to the black market, but that was more than 24 hours ago.

Guan Chen ran away from the laboratory and took an air taxi in the highest gear. He arrived at the nearest entrance to the underground black market 5 minutes later.

Guan Chen frantically searched every store in the black market.

He has seen Jiang Yi too many times.Countless times, he saw Jiang Yi being destroyed, and countless times, he repaired Jiang Yi.He is clear about any part on Jiang Yi's body, its size and shape, model design, color, and the most likely points of wear and tear.

There are at least [-] shops along the street in the black market, not including those hiding upstairs and in alleys.

After running through the hundreds of stores, Guan Chen checked the three long streets and came to the end of each long street, the port of the underground canal.Although it is underground, it is so wide that you can't see the opposite bank clearly at a glance. You can only vaguely see a beach and street shops with only one color.

The day and night underground are man-made, Guan Chen looked at the terminal on his arm, it was the end of the night, there was no moon, only the light of the lighthouse on the shore.There is a constant flow of cargo ships on the river, and occasionally there are one or two sightseeing boats.

He was so tired that he knelt on the ground and sat against a shipping container, his arms and legs trembling.

If... If Jiang Yi had really been completely destroyed.

Guan Chen couldn't breathe.If only this were a consciousness painting environment, too.He will stop everything, he will completely bury all Jiang Yi's memories, once again, and for the last time, meet Jiang Yi well.

Across the river, an artificial subterranean sun rises.

It turned out to be beautiful.Guan Chen watched in disbelief.Dazzling beauty.

In the main city, he didn't remember seeing such a sunrise, only on the plane, on the dense clouds, he occasionally saw the sun at the end of the clouds, just like the sunrise on the other side of the river at this moment.

Against the light, he saw a pedestrian passing by the river bank, carrying a bag of goods on his shoulders, stopping on the way to work, watching the artificial sun rise just like Guan Chen.

That figure was a little familiar.

"Jiang Yi." Guan Chen called out subconsciously, his voice hoarse.

The man turned his head and looked in Guan Chen's direction.Against the light, it was an extremely handsome face.

But there was no smile on it.

Jiang Yi didn't speak, and continued to move towards a cargo ship moored at a distant wharf with the cargo.

Guan Chen tremblingly supported the container behind him to stand up, stumbled and chased after it.

He grabbed Jiang Yi's arm, regardless of Sanqi 21, "Don't go to the address Laifu gave you, it's a trap."

"I know." Jiang Yi said, without stopping, Guan Chen almost tried his best to keep up with Jiang Yi's pace.

"You know?" Guan Chen asked.

"Laifu is very similar to you. People like you cannot be trusted."

Guan Chen choked on these words, and became a little annoyed, stopped but still grabbed Jiang Yi's arm.Jiang Yi was so pulled, he could only put down the goods on his shoulders, "What do you want to do?"

"Come back with me." Guan Chen glared at Jiang Yi.

"Why?" Jiang Yi said calmly, "Why are you holding on to me at this moment? What is this? Another realm of consciousness? Next, you have to pretend to be nice to me, make me believe you, and then Turn around and sell me, carve me up, burn me up? Watch me get mutilated and tell me I'm not human and don't be so self-righteous?"

Guan Chen didn't expect Jiang Yi's attitude to be so tough at all, and was provoked into a hoarse sneer, with an annoyed expression on his face, "So what if you are? What if you are not? You are my thing, don't ask me how to use you." As he spoke, he grabbed Jiang Yi by the collar and pulled Jiang Yi over, his eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, and said every word, "I can use you as I want."

Jiang Yi knocked off Guan Chen's hand and took a step back. "But I don't want to be 'your thing' anymore."

"It's up to you." Guan Chen reached out and grabbed Jiang Yi's wrist, but Jiang Yi didn't move.

"Ha, I can't help you." An old but sharp voice sounded like a metal whistle leaking air.

Guan Chen and Jiang Yi looked over, and an old man with white hair on crutches stood up from behind the container and said.

At this time, Guan Chen and Jiang Yi realized that they had been surrounded.A circle of mechanical fighting beasts came out from the containers in all directions. At a glance, there were at least twenty or thirty of them. Some were spider-like, some were lions and leopards, and some had unclear images, but at first glance they were armored with thicker armor.

They formed a semicircular encirclement, enclosing Guan Chen and Jiang Yi on the bank of the river.

There were different people standing behind the mechanical beast, and Guan Chen recognized that many of them were shop owners he had entered before.

The old man with the cane had thinning hair, but thick beard and eyebrows, the cane was silver, and so were the teeth.

Guan Chen showed a look of contempt.He recognized this man.

This person is the president of a chamber of commerce in a fighting street in the black market, but this person's real name has never been revealed, and his only nickname is Yin Treasurer.

Even in the black market, the block under the jurisdiction of the silver shopkeeper is known as a violent block, operating many mechanical fighting arenas with different themes.

"What can you do with us?" Guan Chen seemed to be asking, but he took a step forward, standing between Jiang Yi and the encirclement.

"Guan Chen, right?" The silver shopkeeper smiled, showing his silver teeth, "I've heard of you for a long time. After a lot of your experimental data came out, it helped us a lot."

"What do you want to do? We'll leave if we have nothing to do." As he spoke, he took Jiang Yi's hand. Jiang Yi's hand was still cold, but Guan Chen's own palms were already sweating.

Jiang Yi felt it, raised his hand to press Guan Chen's shoulder, lowered his head and whispered something in Guan Chen's ear.

"Don't be stupid. You are invincible in the consciousness painting, but now it is reality, I should protect you."

Guan Chen was taken aback, with inexplicable emotions welling up in his heart.It seems to see a little hope, and it seems to see myself sinking deeper in the quagmire, against all reason.

But he couldn't help but feel a little sweet in this involuntary body, and his hand disobediently held Jiang Yi's hand even tighter.

Don't want to let go.

A cool, salty wind blew from the river bank, and the treasurer Yin coughed, "How can it be okay for us to find two? One of the two is a famous researcher, and the other is the latest model of the 'Lover' series that has not yet been released. Mechanical bionic man, you two add up, I can start another company that is making money every day, haha, how can I let you go."

The silver shopkeeper raised his hand and made an attacking gesture.
