Electric Sheep Love

Chapter 18 "I Knew It"

Half a month later, the "Lover" series was launched.

The campaign started a month earlier, but it peaked in the last few days. I don’t know who reported it to the media. Guan Chen, the younger brother of the victim of Guan’s murder, a well-known talented researcher, broke into the hunter’s base camp late at night. , The news of proposing marriage to a certain bionic person in a prison cell suddenly spread like an explosion.

Then there was a reversal. The hunter said that he didn't know whether the marriage proposal was true, but the bionic person was the one who escaped from prison later, and Guan Chen clearly refused to provide any information. The hunter was preparing to sue Guan Chen.

Amidst the scolding, the reversal appeared again. Someone dug up the hospital's diagnosis report and operation details, pointing out that the pursuer charged the bionic man without even finding evidence such as a murder weapon, and since the bionic man hurt people, Why send Guan Chen to the hospital again?

As the details broke out, the name "Jiang Yi" was also known to everyone. The next day, 'Lover' officially released a one-hour promotional video edited like a movie, declaring that it is specific to Guan Chen and all his bionics. There is no comment on the incident, but I made a fictional video borrowing the image of the two.

At the beginning of the film, there is the scene of the wronged bionic man being burned at the stake by the Purifier, and then Guan Chen designs experiments again and again to recreate the bionic man, trying to awaken the memory in the wreckage with the experiment of consciousness painting, etc. .

It took only half an hour for the film to go online, and it has received tens of millions of views. With the help of many factors, the "Lover" model was launched and sold 65 in the first second, nearly four times more than the previous model.

At the grand release ceremony, Guan Chen was also regarded as a star by everyone.

When he turned on the first official "Lover" and handed it to the first customer, the screen behind him started playing the promotional video.

That was the first time Guan Chen noticed that promotional video, and he was taken away by the pictures on it.

According to the company's requirements, Guan Chen had to hand over the first one hundred units to the customer.The second customer was still waiting there, and the assistant next to him was a little embarrassed, "Researcher?"

Guan Chen remained motionless.Eyes are firmly fixed on the big screen.

In the film, in the center of an ancient tree with twisted vines, there is a little iron man pierced by branches.The boy who looked like Guan Chen wore a cloak, rode up to the little iron man, and gave it a human appearance.

In addition, there are many shots from the original consciousness painting experiment.

Guan Chen left the sale ceremony behind and rushed backstage amidst everyone's astonishment.

In the darkness of the backstage, he turned on the terminal on his left arm and started a call with Laifu: "Is that what you thought of, this marketing plan?!"

Lai Fu admitted, "This is the best solution among thousands of strategies, and there are enough materials."

"Have I agreed?" Guan Chen's eyes showed killing intent.

"Legally speaking, all the data of the experiments you do in the company belong to the company. You also know that I can't do illegal things."

"Oh, you won't do illegal things, but you will do the most selfish things." Guan Chen sneered, "You are so human, Laifu."

Laifu's tone was still emotionless, "I'm not like a human being, I'm learning from you, Guan Chen."

After hearing this, Guan Chen fell into silence, and cut off the call severely.

He watched the excitement outside, took a deep breath, and walked out of the backstage.

As soon as he returned to the grand ceremony, the flashing lights one after another hurt his eyes.

When the flash finally weakened a little, against the light, he saw the tens of thousands of square meters of the experience center below the stage, and every other place had Jiang Yi's face buried in the sea of ​​people surrounding his flawless body, but he could always be seen by Guan Chen. See it at a glance.

Every one, Jiang Yi's face.

From now on, these same faces will have their own additions, deletions, changes, names, loves and hates.Perhaps within a year, the junkyard will be filled with their limbs and torsos, with memories that only they can remember, like every generation of lovers in the past.

But Guan Chen knew very clearly that none of these tens of thousands was his Jiang Yi.

At the same time, more than ten kilometers away, upstairs in an alley in the underground black market, Jiang Yi was also watching the live broadcast of the "Lover" sale ceremony.

Seeing so many faces he's used to at the same time, he felt a little weird, and a little relieved.If he hadn't relaxed rightly, he wouldn't have realized that he had been tense and restless for so long.

He also knew he couldn't use that face anymore.Even from now on, the name "Jiang Yi" may become a commonly used name for bionic people.

For the first time, he felt completely safe from the crowd.

The live broadcast was still going on, and tens of thousands of people were bustling in it. On the stage, Guan Chen continued to put on a show for the sale, with a blank expression on his face, and he stopped watching the promotional video played on the big screen.

I lost some weight.Ginger whimsical.

Jiang Yi stared at the live broadcast screen, not knowing whether to watch it or not. At the same time, he started a hundred other processes, half of which were used to do homework for others, play games on behalf of others, manage online shopping malls, write codes, beautify photos, collect and organize data, etc. Make money, half of it is used to learn knowledge.Most recently mathematics and biology.

Suddenly, he stopped all the processes at the same time, leaving only the live broadcast in front of him.

He divided the live broadcast screen into six screens, and watched the grand ceremony venue from six live broadcast angles at the same time.

Half a minute later, he confirmed that a team of people who had just entered the venue was suspicious.

They arrived at the venue at the same time. After entering the venue, they just nodded their heads and did not talk to each other. They separated and approached the sixteen columns in the hall of the venue in groups of two as strictly agreed.

Jiang Yi zoomed in on the live broadcast, looking back and forth for the angle he needed.But the angle was blocked, so he had to waste half a minute intruding into the monitoring of the live broadcast, and saw the places he cared about.

Yes, those people put a bag on the side of the pillar, then left, and gathered towards the stage where Guan Chen was.

Those bags attracted no one's attention.Because these sixteen columns are the assembly points set by the government, they were set up to prevent people from dispersing and there is no place to meet each other. There are many people waiting there, even if someone puts their bags there. People feel weird.

In the venue, the terminal embedded in Guan Chen's arm vibrated, and the display screen on his skin showed a strange call he had never answered.

He pressed the phone, and after a while, the phone rang again, and at the same time a text message came.

"I remember your dragon."

Guan Chen was taken aback when he saw it, and immediately went to the backstage to answer the phone.

It wasn't Jiang Yi's voice, but Guan Chen expected that with Jiang Yi's ability, it would be impossible for the Purifier to catch him, so he should have changed his body.

But what Jiang Yi said was completely unexpected to Guan Chen.

"Guan Chen, evacuate everyone in the venue now. There is an unowned bag under the sixteen pillars. It was left by the same team separately. I will send you the photo and let the magistrate handle it."

Guan Chen's throat tightened, "Maybe it's a bomb?"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yi did not give a definite answer, "This must be determined by the sheriff's bomb disposal team, hurry up, don't waste time."

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he hung up the phone, then rushed out of the house, using a fake human identity to call the air taxi in the highest gear and wait at the nearest exit.

Ten minutes later, as soon as Jiang Yi got off the car at the parking spot, he heard a loud noise in the venue, and the whole venue shook.

After a very brief moment of silence, the crowd broke out in crying and howling, and the surging flow of people rushed out from the venue like a flood.

Jiang Yi called Guan Chen, but Guan Chen didn't answer.

He looked at the flow of people and knew that he could not enter through the main entrance. After scanning his surroundings, he locked on to the cleaning crane hanging from the outer window. Squeeze through step by step.

More than two minutes later, in the ventilation duct, Jiang Yi looked down from the gap. In the hall of the venue nearly 100 meters below, a pillar had been blown off, and the flow of people was still crowded, but among the turbulent crowd, Dozens of people didn't move, they were strangely calm, they all gathered around the grand ceremony stage.

Jiang Yi activated the strong vision mode, and saw that the people surrounded on the stage were the employees of Feng's Manufacturing.

Guan Chen also stood inside.

At the same time, the terminal on Jiang Yi's arm suddenly received a call. When he turned it on, it was Guan Chen's voice, but it was obviously not to himself. He dialed it quietly and turned on the speakerphone.

"When did the Purifiers become so extreme? If you are like this, the whole organization will be besieged and suppressed later, don't you understand?" Someone asked, who seemed to be an employee of the Feng family.

"It's not worth it to get rid of millions of bionics at once, and defeat the Feng family." The purifier said, "We just change our name and make a comeback, but it's not so simple for you and the aliens you made. "

"They're just a bunch of machines. You don't need them. Someone needs them." Guan Chen said coldly.

A muffled sound.

Guan Chen fell to one knee on the ground, and the assistant beside him said in horror: "You guys hate bionics, why are you beating them?!"

The purifier laughed a few times, and pressed the remote control of the bomb in his hand against Guan Chen's forehead, "Is this kind of bastard who loves garbage worthy of being called someone?"

His laughter spread throughout the venue.

At this time, the venue had become empty, and the crowd fled in all directions. Only dozens of purifiers gathered on the stage to form an encircling circle, and there was no one else.

In the venue, there were hundreds of bionic people on the booth, wearing various clothes and posing in various poses like dolls, obviously in a state of shutdown.

"How about this," the purifier pulled Guan Chen up, "I don't want to blow up these bionic garbage directly, how about this, there are sixteen pillars here, right? I just blown up one for fun, and the rest The next fifteen, where are your employees? I counted 22. You pick one, and I pick another. Every time I go, I blow up a pillar. How about it? Exciting?"

Guan Chen looked indifferent, "It's up to you."

"Okay, it really is a legendary genius, so calm." The purifier raised his hand, holding the remote control of the bomb, moved the direction he was pointing at the heads of a group of Feng's employees who were forced to kneel on the ground, and suddenly stopped. "Just you!"

The employee stood up tremblingly, and the purifier signaled that he could leave. At this moment, someone among the employees who were still kneeling shouted: "He's a bionic man! Change me! Change me!"

The Purifier looked at the employee he picked with cold eyes.

He waved to the other purifiers, "Test."

The employee who was picked backed up, then turned around and ran backstage, but was hit in the face with a stick by the Purifier guarding there, and the entire face was deformed directly, exposing the metal inside.

"Let me just say it!" The employee who identified the bionic man hurriedly said, and then he was released, and quickly ran towards the outside of the venue. When he passed one of the pillars, the detonated bomb blasted away and fell hard to the ground , Then struggled to get up, and finally ran away covered in blood.

The purifier laughed, looked at a crack that had already appeared on the roof, and said in a low voice, "It's exciting."

At the same time, approaching the backstage, more than a dozen purifiers surrounded the bionic human being selected at the beginning, sticking one stick at a time, until the bionic human no longer made a sound and turned into a pile of broken parts.

The rest of the employees who were still squatting on the ground began to speak enthusiastically. Guan Chen frowned and said sternly, "Stop talking!"

Those employees shut up all of a sudden, and the leader of the Purifier showed a smirk on his face, "The bastard is the bastard, so it hurts?"

Guan Chen's expression has returned to calm.He turned to all the frightened employees kneeling on the ground, raised his hand and pointed out eight of them, "These are bionics, and you can let the rest go."

Those employees stood up tremblingly, the purifiers nodded, and they all ran towards the outside of the venue, far away from every pillar.

"Yo," the Purifier narrowed his eyes, "Genius, you're not good at math? Why didn't you count yourself in? You can't be a bionic too, right?"

There was no wave in Guan Chen's eyes, "You don't intend to let me go, do you?"

The Purifier smiled, "Maybe you are really a bionic person." He raised his hand to greet his companion, "Test it."

Dozens of purifiers with electric shock batons surrounded him, and Guan Chen actually felt a little funny in his heart.

At the end of my life, I don't know what it's like to be you.he thinks.

When the electric shock baton was swung towards his head, there was a huge reverberation in the venue.Like something in the wind is passing by.

The Purifiers stopped what they were doing.

Every screen in the venue lit up at the same time, every lamp, every speaker, sound and light mixed with tens of thousands of square meters of emptiness, like a grand symphony.

"Who is playing tricks? Come out to me!" the purifier yelled.

As if to respond to this sentence, at the same time, all the bionics moved, broke free from various set postures, stood up one after another, and approached the center of the stage.

The purifiers immediately backed away in fright. Unexpectedly, a larger batch of bionics emerged from the background at the same time.

All the bionics didn't attack and showed no expression, they just approached, approaching overwhelmingly.

Guan Chen took aim at the right moment and rushed over to snatch the remote control of the bomb from the hands of the purifiers. The other purifiers saw it, picked up the electric shock baton and swung it at the back of Guan Chen's head and various parts of his body, but felt that it hit the heavy metal.

"He is indeed a bionic man!" The purifier exclaimed, and when he took a closer look, he found that among the tide of "lover", an old-looking one got out at some point and threw himself behind Guan Chen, protecting him. Lived in Guan Chen.

Guan Chen turned his head, surprise and disbelief in his eyes, "Jiang Yi?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yi replied.

Jiang Yi's voice, appearance, and body have all changed. Logically, he may no longer be Guan Chen's Jiang Yi, but he doesn't know why. He is sure that at this moment, he can accept Guan Chen's confirmation. .

Seeing this, the purifier raised the electric shock baton, turned on the electric shock mode, and was about to swing it at Jiang Yi, when Guan Chen suddenly yelled: "The remote control is in my hand! If you don't want to die together, get out!"

After hearing this, the Purifiers stopped what they were doing.Sure enough, Guan Chen had snatched the remote control of the bomb.

They looked to their leader.

The purifier was silent for a moment, gave up simply, and grinned sinisterly at the corner of his mouth, "Okay. There will be a period later." He said and gestured, and a group of people evacuated to the outside of the venue.

Guan Chen and Jiang Yi held hands and watched those people leave, surrounded by countless "lover" who looked exactly like Jiang Yi.

"It's a bit strange." Jiang Yi said.

Guan Chen nodded, "I think so too, but..." Neither of them could think of an answer for a while.

Finally, those purifiers came to the exit of the venue and stopped.

Jiang Yi sensed something was wrong and increased the visual enhancement to the maximum.

He clearly saw that the leader of the purifier raised the end of his left arm, and then said a word with a very clear mouth shape.

"Extinct, you bastard."

five words.

At the first syllable, Jiang Yi sorted out the most possible strategy among thousands of strategies based on these signs.

At the third syllable, he snatched the remote control from Guan Chen's hand.

On the fifth syllable, he threw the remote control far into the center of the venue. He hugged Guan Chen and threw himself on the stage, protecting Guan Chen with his whole body.

The bomb remote control is a fake remote control, but there are real bombs on both sides.

The remote control was detonated first, and then, the remaining fourteen pillars in the venue were simultaneously blown off when the purifier pressed the control button on the terminal.

The huge roof fell, crushing most of Jiang Yi's body.

Guan Chen remembered that when the first boulder fell, Jiang Yi's body was split in two, severed from the chest down by the boulder, and his heart, the energy core, was shattered all of a sudden.

Guan Chen saw Jiang Yi's eyes quickly dimmed, and saw Jiang Yi gently holding his face with a smile, but the roof was completely cracked, the sky leaked out, and Jiang Yi's smile in the rain-falling reinforced concrete was like a rainstorm Butterfly in spread wings.

Guan Chen remembered that Jiang Yi used what was left of his body to block those falling rocks like a rainstorm.He saw the smile in the corners of Jiang Yi's eyes and lips, as gentle as the dying wind.

A tortured god.Guan Chen remembered thinking.

Jiang Yi's hand dropped, his fingertips brushed across Guan Chen's face.

"I knew that my calculation was correct." Jiang Yi said.

That was the last thing Guan Chen remembered before another boulder fell on the two of them.
