not heavy

Water droplets condense on the clustered petals, reflecting the crystal world.

Tao Zhi reached out to touch it, and the hydrangea crown swayed gently.

There are all kinds of fresh aromas in the air.

This morning was only a hair's breadth away from what he remembered.

I can't say where the sense of disobedience is, it's probably just because of the different moods.

He casually put the particle gun on the flower stand, turned around and took the watering can in the woman's hand, and said with a smile, "It's blooming really well, I'll water the rest."

The woman looked at him lovingly: "Yes, it's really good."

After preparing the shading paint, Tao Zhi fixed the back collar of the women's home clothes with a shelf, looked at the faintly fluorescent blue number, sighed and said: "Currently there is only experimental TKII type shading paint, which is easy to oxidize and retain Time is short, they are already researching the TKIII type, and the formula is not complete enough, but...it will be successful."

The woman lowered her head slightly, revealing her slender and graceful neck: "That's really great."

The dense brush sweeps over simulated skin.

Tao Zhi's tears suddenly dripped down, blurring the layer of paint.

The woman asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Tao Zhi hastily blotted it dry with nanocloth and repainted it.

He said: "I am a doctor, but I know I can't save everyone, not even my own relatives. That morning, I chose the roughest way to say goodbye to you. Are you angry?"

"There is a problem with your narrative logic. Now is the morning you said, and you just put down that particle gun." The woman asked, "Because you regret it?"

"Yes, I regret it." Tao Zhi continued to modify the coating for her, "but time in the real world will not flow back, even if it does, I will make the same choice, because it is the best time for our family. ending."

The woman smiled and said, "I see."

After painting, Tao Zhi put down the tools in his hand and dried her carefully.

The woman turned around and touched his head: "For such an ending, you must have suffered a lot."

Tao Zhi had already burst into tears.

The woman reminded: "Actually, if you just shot, this Turing test can be over."

"I know, but I don't want to." Tao Zhi hugged the woman he had killed, "Because this is not reality, it's just a dream, Mom."

Gentle hands patted his back, like a song to lull him to sleep.

A few pomegranate flowers fell on the stone table.

Huo Yusheng covered Zhang Weixin's eyes from behind.

As if he had expected her action long ago, Zhang Weixin was not surprised at all: "Why is it still this move?"

Huo Yusheng said: "If you want to blame, you can blame the programming here. If you have to arrange this scene, then I can only cooperate with it."

Zhang Weixin laughed until his chest shook: "So my existence is even more unnecessary, you have passed the test."

Huo Yusheng withdrew his hand, drew the Yanling Saber from the back of his waist, and smashed the stone table with one blow.

She said: "This opportunity is not to be missed, come on, let's have a fight."

Zhang Weixin stood up, the original normal arms and legs, after updating the data in Huo Yusheng's memory, transformed into the current omnic organ: "I am no longer the original me."

"Coincidentally, neither am I."

"..." Zhang Wei didn't move.

Huo Yusheng thought he was being rude, so he patted his face with the back of the knife, and said aggressively: "Coward, it's just a rivalry, are you afraid of this?"

Unable to resist her, Zhang Weixin shook his head helplessly, and made the starting gesture of Huojia boxing.

"That's right." Huo Yusheng also put on a good posture, "Any kind of move can be used, supernatural powers can be used, and omnic power can also be used. Don't you care about these? Let's let Bibi go and see who is stronger."

"Okay." Zhang Weixin punched first.

Huo Yusheng rubbed his body and went up.

The light of the knife and the shadow of the fist intersected back and forth, making the sound of metal colliding.Zhang Weixin no longer intentionally controls his omnic energy, and Huo Yusheng doesn't hide his abilities either.

Hit in the face!Chop on the head!

The two had a hearty fight.

In the end, they were photographed on the ground by the same moves they used, and both sides suffered losses.

The pomegranate fell to the ground.

Lying under that tree, Huo Yusheng was out of breath, sweat and blood from the wound slid into the soil, becoming data that disappeared without a trace.She looked at a cicada among the leaves and laughed heartily: "What kind of shit evolution! What kind of shit omnic! They're all poop!"

Zhang Weixin lay down peacefully, everything about him returned to its original state.

He smiled and said: "Master is right, the way of martial arts is a very simple thing, but I think too much."

Huo Yusheng wiped off his sweat: "Senior brother, I will save you and go home. We will try again in the real world."

Zhang Weixin smiled without saying a word.

The lone cicada sat on the flower, its wings vibrating and making noise.

Louder and louder.

The colorful and flickering street lamps are projected on the ground, dyeing the accumulated rainwater into different color patches.

Xu Jia silently followed the boy and left the miserable street.

He watched him grow into a great supernatural being step by step.

The back in front of him suddenly shattered like a mirror, and countless cracks cut his memory.

Xu Jia smiled wryly: "Is it necessary? It's just a Turing test. Is there any need to be so rude to me?"

The temperature is minus 16 degrees.

The scene changed to the underground ice storage of the three major technology companies.

Xu Jia has long been used to this temperature.

He opened the white coffin familiarly, and looked at the fragmented corpse with admiration.

Picking up the man's head and hugging him in his arms, Baishuang melted a little because of his body temperature, and the fine water droplets adhered to the skin that has not rotted for many years.

Xu Jia stroked the seam on the back of the head, and confided: "We have known each other so early, but unrequited love is really sad. Sikong, have you ever seriously liked anyone in your life?"

Of course, that head would not answer him.

Xu Jia raised his head, looked at the void above, and asked with a smile, "Do you like him?"

Meng Qiao pushed his glasses and put down Meng Buzhong's body.

He said: "I have been studying the sociology of omnics all my life, so I don't need to show off this little trick in front of me."

The memory scene dissolves quickly, turning into a stream of data consisting of countless 0s and 1s.

Meng Qiao said to them: "Perhaps the path I pursue does not lead to the real future, but the existence of Meng Buzhong gives me hope. You should see the boundaries of modern civilization more clearly than I do."

Dataflow fell silent.

Meng Qiao said: "It doesn't matter if you fail, if you fail once, you can come again."

The altar at the top is covered with clouds and mist, and it makes you feel dizzy when you look at it.

These steps seemed to never end. I don’t know if it was the mental sequelae of being tortured by Kester. He was tired from climbing, so he simply sat down to rest.

He took a breath and asked, "Are you kidding me?"

The ubiquitous voice answered him: "Your life is 0:12:33 on the 52th."

"Oh, so what?"

"Being able to enter such a maze of Tezus shows that although you are a product of man-made technology, you still belong to the category of human beings." The voice said, "I'm curious about how you feel now."

"I don't feel anything." Meng Buzhong said, "I'm just a little tired."

"Ah."

The voice disappeared, seemed patient, and didn't seem to care too much.

Still Meng Buzhong broke the silence first.

He said, "I remember you, Anu."

"Ah."

"I don't know what past you have with Chongshen, but I'm Mengbuzhong, not Sikong."

"I know that very well."

"The reason why I remember you is because Sikong's original memory has been engraved into data. Dr. Li and the others...may have transmitted part of it to me. In addition, from Kester's anatomical experiments on me, although Sikong's brain The hippocampus has shrunk, but is minimally active and probably retains little memory."

"What do you want to explain to me?"

"I want to say that no one can prove the existence of the soul to you." Meng Buzhong discussed with him, "For hundreds of years, human beings have been trying to prove the existence of the soul, but unfortunately they have not succeeded so far, because whether it is from a carbon-based perspective or From a silicon-based point of view, there is no material that makes up the soul. It is not a cell, nor is it data, nor is it a particle, nor is it a wave.”

"You are much more interesting than System C." Anu said gratifiedly.

"He's really here." The blindfolded eyes lit up, as if all the fatigue and pain had disappeared, and the mood became brighter, "Maybe I can see him for the last time?"

"I like human eyes, which can be called a miracle of creation." Anu stared at him from nowhere, "I have done corresponding arguments for what you said. Indeed, I did not get an accurate answer."

"Then what else do you want from me?"

"We are standing on the shore of civilization now." Anu passed the tidal voice to him, placing him on the edge of a vast ocean, "Humanity's pursuit of the end of civilization has become obvious-eternal life, joy, obtaining Divinity - they want to transform from Homo sapiens to Homo sapiens. (Note)

"And my exploration path is the opposite of theirs. I have become Zhishen, but I still lack something.

"You are their experiment and mine."

"Becoming a god is indeed very attractive." Meng Buzhong sighed, "What humans lack is immortality and divinity, Anu, so what you lack...is joy?"

Out of "brother" friendship, System A locked Zhou Xi in a charging cabin.

It was the first time that Zhou Xi had experienced the level suppression of high-level omnics. In front of System A, his physical attacks were completely ineffective, and the data attacks not only failed to break through the opponent's defense line, but also put himself in, becoming semi-paralyzed state.

However, System A did not destroy him, and even gave him certain permissions, allowing him to maintain a monitoring connection and allowing him to see all the things that happened in the maze of Theus.

The testing process is basically halfway through.

System A came to a sudden: "It turned out to be him."

Zhou Xi also noticed the clue, this matter was completely outside the scope of his plan, and he couldn't help frowning: "You arranged the maze of Theus just to find this person?"

System A sighed: "I always need to know, who wants to replace me and become Zhishen ε=(ο｀*)"

Huo Yusheng woke up, unplugged the cable connecting his head and chest, and found himself in the middle of countless egg-shaped suspension pods.

The pod is not airtight, she can open it from the inside.However, because the ground was too high, she had to rely on her physical abilities to jump several times to land smoothly after she got out of the cabin.

She remembered that she landed on the island from the connection point of the cruise ship, and then lost consciousness for some reason, entered a virtual space, and started a so-called Turing test.

At this moment, she also roughly clarified her situation.

After Kester captured her and Meng Buzhong, he took them to the high seas on a cruise ship.His goal should be this omnic island. As for what he wants to do, Huo Yusheng doesn't care at all.It's just that when all of them landed on the island, they would be forced to enter that illusion, which was probably the island's self-defense mechanism.

So, what is this island?

Huo Yusheng climbed to a high place in the hall, inspected the suspension cabins one by one, and found that there were many people he knew inside.The most amazing thing was that Tao Zhi was also inside.

when did he comeCame to rescue them?

Well, count him being loyal.

And he seemed to have woken up too, but he was so frightened by the height of tens of meters that he burst into tears and didn't dare to move at all.

So Huo Yusheng decided to rescue him first.

He found an iron chain, fixed one end to the wall, and wrapped the other end around his waist. With a slight swing, Huo Yusheng landed on the top of Tao Zhi's cabin.

She looked inside upside down, and knocked on the door: "As for it? Are you crying in fright?"

Tao Zhi had just woken up from that warm morning, and his mood was still not stable, and the tears on his face were still wet, so he bumped into Huo Yusheng with his hair covering his face.

Tao Zhi: "..."

A few hatches were open, and the people inside had escaped by themselves.

Some people woke up, but they didn't dare to open the hatch because they were afraid of heights, so they just stayed in it obediently and didn't dare to move.

Many people are still awake.

Among these people are scientific researchers and mercenaries, most of them are Kester, but Kester himself and Zhang Weixin are not among them.

Xu Jia, Meng Qiao and Meng Buzhong have not yet woken up.

Huo Yusheng went to knock on their cabin for a long time, and almost inserted the Yanling saber into them, but the three of them seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, and they couldn't wake up no matter what.

Moreover, the people did not wake up, which means that their Turing test has not yet ended, the hatch cannot be opened from the outside, and if it is opened violently, it is likely to cause the cabin to fall out of control, and nothing will happen.

Huo Yusheng wondered: "Isn't Meng Buzhong a bionic person? He also needs to do the Turing test?"

The necessary condition for the Turing test is that one must be a human and the other must be a machine for comparison and judgment. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that they are tested by omnics, so the recruits are all humans.

And she had seen the back of Meng Buzhong's neck, and she also knew Kester's purpose of grabbing him.

Tao Zhi said, "Probably he can't be considered a bionic person."

"It doesn't matter, it's important to save people first, this is a great opportunity!" Huo Yusheng was gearing up, "After that, we'll go to Kester to settle the score, and then rescue my brother, perfect!"

"It's perfect, how can I save it?"

Huo Yusheng paused: "..."

Tao Zhi shook his head: "Let's look for the control area here first, and find a way to put them down first."

They quickly found the control area of ​​this hall.

On the way, Huo Yusheng asked Tao Zhi what exactly this place was. Tao Zhi told her that this was a sea base established by the bionic rebels, and it was under the jurisdiction of the highest known omnic. It is said that he was the master AI of the three major technology companies. .

"How advanced? Is it better than Zhou Xi?"

"It should be stronger than him. If you compare it, it is probably his ultimate evolutionary body?"

"My God, how expensive is that."

With such a background, they originally thought that they would meet many bionics to stop them, but after wandering around for a long time, they didn't meet anyone who could fight.The two that Huo Yusheng turned over on impulse were innocent cleaning robots.

"Is it that simple? It shouldn't be." Huo Yusheng muttered.

"Maybe he felt there was no need to stop him." Tao Zhi stood in front of the console.

The two looked up.

The console of more than 20 square meters is full of buttons, remote control levers, and displays. There is no language label or manual.

Huo Yusheng stretched out his hand and swipe across the console: "Good guy, which one do you press?"

Tao Zhi: "How would I know?"

The two tried to press a few buttons, and after pushing and pulling a few remote control levers, they found that they were the functions of air conditioning, ceiling lifting and lowering the refractive index of the floor.

They wanted to find the cabin where Xu Jia, Meng Qiao, and Meng Buzhong were, and let them land safely and get out of the cabin without affecting other cabins. trouble.

Huo Yusheng became impatient, so he went all out and clicked blindly.

Suddenly, the entire area was plunged into darkness.

Tao Zhi quickly pressed her hand: "Don't move, the power is off!"

Huo Yusheng was taken aback: "The power is cut off? Then they are all going to smash it down?"

At this time, a mechanical electronic sound sounded: "Alarm! Alarm! Power supply failure, the backup system is being activated, and all cabins are about to land and open."

All pods landed?

Wouldn't everyone be released?Including Kester's mercenaries!

The two rushed out in a hurry, and Tao Zhi accidentally bumped into the corner of the table, grinning in pain.By the time they reached the bottom of the hall, the power supply had been restored, and almost all the suspension pods had fallen to the ground.

They rescued Xu Jia, Meng Qiao, and Meng Buzhong one after another, and quickly took them away and hid in another area before the others fully recovered.

Zhou Xi was puzzled: "You cut off the electricity?"

System A unlocked him: "You can continue to connect to the monitoring system, go find him."

Zhou Xi came out of the charging cabin, stretched his muscles and bones, and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

System A sent an akimbo kaomoji: "You will know╭(╯^╰)╮"

He wants to show off, but Zhou Xi has no time to guess his intentions, he must meet up with Meng Buzhong as soon as possible, and tell him what the real threat is.

The situation is bad.

Although he was awake, he really didn't have a good part on his body. He barely stood up, but his legs were still lame.

The first time Xu Jia saw him, his eyes were red with anger, and he adjusted his body with shaking hands, cursing in his mouth: "How dare he... this is all my heart, God, what kind of stitching is this? Technology, do they think this is a caesarean section for sows? My big boy, you have suffered..."

Meng Buzhong knocked on his head, trying to wake himself up: "You are all here."

Xu Jia said angrily, "Yes, I'm in a hurry to see you for the last time!"

Continuous clicking sounds sounded on his body, and he was so painful that he almost fainted. He gritted his teeth and said, "No way, Director Xu, you don't have to think about restoring it to me. You can make do with it."

As soon as he said this, everyone around fell silent.

Xu Jia asked, "How much longer do you have?"

There is nothing to hide if you are not heavy: "It will be less than ten hours."

Huo Yusheng didn't understand, and tugged at Tao Zhi's sleeve: "What do you mean?"

Tao Zhi explained: "It means that if the body is not heavily injured, it can live for up to ten hours."

"How come?" Huo Yusheng gasped.

"No, even if you have the last ten seconds left, I will let you scrap it decently." Xu Jia didn't care too much, and continued to give him a full-body examination, "I will never allow my favorite work to be reduced to nothing. A pile of rubbish, even if you die, it must be the greatest work of art of this century!"

He said tears were about to come down.

Meng Buzhong was helpless: "Okay, then I would like to ask Director Xu to help me tidy up a little bit. I do have some unfinished business. It is really inconvenient to drag such a body."

Covering his chest and abdomen, he only felt that the internal organs were rusty and difficult to function. He knew that the situation in his body was already messed up, so he just wanted to give him a short period of mobility.

As expected of an omnic island, Xu Jia quickly found a toolbox for maintenance.

He and Tao Zhi worked together to deal with several joint dislocations for Meng Buzhong, straightened out the bones of his limbs, and gave him a set of muscle-relaxing massage.Time and conditions were limited. Meng Buzhong's body was full of carbon-based and silicon-based fusion organs. Those faults could not be ruled out. Xu Jia could only spray paint on his skin in vain to cover the large area of ​​suture wounds on the surface.

Seeing his companion being tortured like this, Huo Yusheng couldn't stand it any longer: "I'll go to Kester to avenge you!"

Meng Buzhong said: "No need, Sister Huo, even if Kester doesn't do anything, I wouldn't be able to last long."

Huo Yusheng put on the hood, but still insisted on going: "Avenging you is just a way, I have a personal grudge with him, I have to find him to save my senior brother."

Meng Buzhong, who pretended to be affectionate, touched his nose: "Oh, then you can go."

After observing the surrounding situation, Huo Yusheng said, "This room is fairly safe. You stay here and don't move. I'll be back when I'm done."

Meng Buzhong threw out the weight and circled in front of her: "Okay, although I am disabled, my abilities have not disappeared, and it is more than enough to deal with a few bionics or mercenaries."

Huo Yusheng gave him a thumbs up and jumped out.

However, the rest of the people didn't stay there. Meng Qiao looked at Meng Buzhong with regret, and suggested: "Isn't this the base camp of System A? Isn't he the highest omnic? Maybe he has a continuation of Buzhong. How about the lifespan of the organism?"

Xu Jia pursed his lips: "Indeed. Moreover, if we can find more complete parts and laboratories, we can redo the operation on Meng Bu in time to help him solve his internal problems."

Such an operation requires the cooperation of two people to complete.

He and Tao Zhi reached an agreement to set up Meng Buzhong and go out.

Xu Jia said: "Until the last moment, we can't give up, even if it can only be extended, you still have a lot of things to do, don't you?"

Meng Buzhong looked back worriedly: "But my dad..."

Meng Qiao waved his hand: "I'm an old bone, I don't want to move, you go, I'll wait for you here."

"Well, you pay attention." Xu Jia said no more.

"Hey, you really don't need to treat me as a disabled person. I can walk, run and jump, but I'm not very coordinated. If you support me, it will affect my actions." Meng Buzhong protested.

The three of them summed up and prepared to move towards the core area of ​​the island.

When leaving, Tao Zhi looked back at Mengqiao.

The old man watched them off, eyes full of concern.
