Shen Rin's question woke them up, the question of whether Yang is a human or a bionic person is too critical.

People can leave a lot of clues, DNA, fingerprints, and all biological characteristics that go with life may become clues for them to trace, but bionics are different. The production code at birth has been removed. These bionics only need to keep The core database can then be regenerated in another form entirely.

A pile of scrap copper and rotten iron on the street may become their disguise.

The radio in the apartment sounded at this moment, and the mechanical female voice said slowly: "Dear tenants of Skyscraper 2020, please note that room 1205 was illegally invaded and the tenant was shot dead. Please go home quickly and stay in the room. Don't go out and don't open the door to anyone other than the police."

"The apartment has received photos of the gangsters and is sending them to the display devices of the tenants. Please be careful."

Before the voice finished speaking, the TV in Yang's house suddenly lit up, and a video jumped out on the screen, which was what happened in the last few tens of seconds before Yang's death. The faces of Xiu and Rex were clearly photographed .

Rex: "Boss, this camera is not right, why do you look more handsome than me?"

Xiu didn't bother to listen to his jokes.

Shen Lin repeated his question: "Forsyth needs to confirm as soon as possible."

He cast his speech skills and succeeded.

Peanut asked Xiu's meaning nervously: "Head?"

Xiu said, "Connect to Forsyth." He gestured, and the three of them left quickly before the police arrived.

They ran all the way from the emergency exit, and Shen Lin heard a "di--" sound, and then Peanut said, "Connecting to Forsyth."

A figure jumped out in front of the pupil of the right eye of the prosthesis, and it became clear after the snowflakes flashed past.

It was a pale, thin face, and Forsyth asked wearily: "How's it going, Hugh?"

Xiu said bluntly: "You have concealed too much information from us, it is very difficult for us to continue this job."

"No—" Forsyth said nervously, "You are the best mercenary group, only you can help me bring Yang to my side before my father finds Yang."

"Confess everything, Forsyth," said Hugh in an irresistible tone.

"..." Forsyth was sadly silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth, "Well, let me confess, in fact, Yang has serious mental problems, he has delusions and serious suicidal tendencies, no matter how good the doctor and medicine It can't make his disease get better."

"Be more specific," Rex said petulantly, "Is Yang a fucking human?"

"Rikes! You are just mercenaries!" Forsyth also became irritable, "The principle of your mercenaries is not to interfere excessively with the private affairs of your employer! The information I give you is all the information I can provide you ! Use these materials and money to do your work, the contract is clearly written, are you trying to smash your own brand?"

Rex froze for a moment.

He momentarily cut off the communication and cursed "fuck".

Facing the furious Forsyth, Xiu just said lightly: "That's true, I hope Mr. Forsyth doesn't mind, we accidentally killed Yang on the spot as a bionic man."

Forsyth: "..."

Xiu: "Of course, we will pay the compensation after the event according to the proportion in the contract. Whether it is 200% or 300% is not a problem for us. You understand what I mean, Forsyth."

The other end of the communication has been silent, so silent that if there was no sound of Forsyth's heavy breathing, they would think that the communication was temporarily interrupted.

"Well," resigned Forsyth, "I want you to confess everything."

"Yang is a human being, but he always fantasizes that he is a bionic man. He said he has the same fate as a bionic man. He often asks me to take him to the factory at home to check. Standing outside the isolated curtain wall, he laments in disarray. their miserable lives."

"The dark flames have paled, and the vitality is gradually leaving her, just like many bionics he has seen before. The classic resignation. And real life... will never resign to fate like this."

"He likes this sentence very much. He has always felt inferior to himself as a bionic person. He thinks his life is simple and boring. He has lived as a robot since he was born. His every move is a predetermined program. All activities The purpose and meaning of it is the 'mission' given to him in the initial program, even his love,"

When Forsyth said this, his voice choked up, and it was not difficult to hear that he was deeply saddened by it, "He regards his love as a procedural push, he can love me, love you, love him, love road Any person around, even if it is not human, cats, dogs, and the electronic sheep he dreams of are all controlled by programs, and he himself does not understand what love is at all, he is a program, a code, and a robot."

Xiu asked: "Have you seen a doctor? With Vinos' strength, he should be able to find a good psychiatrist."

"I see," Forsyth sighed, "the doctor said he had this kind of post-traumatic cognitive impairment, but no one knew what trauma he suffered, and neither did he. Whenever I think about it, he mercilessly Said he loves me only because I programmed him to love him, I was so sad that I wanted to dig out his heart to prove to him that he is a human being, a living human being with blood flowing in his body and a beating heart But because he is a human being, I can only take care of him and protect him, human beings are too fragile, especially a pale and thin young man like him, he will easily die outside."

Xiu glanced at Shen Lin, Shen Lin understood the meaning in his eyes, and gestured like a bionic person.

Xiu asked again: "Why do you have to make so many bionic substitutes for him?"

"This brings up his second mental illness. He has serious suicidal tendencies. He always wants to use various suicide methods to seek the meaning of life. He said that when his consciousness is about to disappear from the world, I can see some kind of gorgeous colors. He is crazy, I know he is crazy. In the beginning, I made this bionic man just to record his consciousness. If one day, he disappears in my life, I will write this It is my comfort that the bionic man treats him as him."

"A stand-in," Rex said, "a stand-in in the true sense, would you fall in love with a bionic person?"

"Yes, a double, but so what?" said Forsyth. "I love him! I've done so much for him, why can't I get a double? Besides, if he's alive, I won't use him." This double. But once, he knew the existence of this double, and in order to make him happy, I activated this double. That afternoon—"

In retrospect, he still thinks his decisions and actions are very stupid. Forsyth said: "That afternoon, he stayed in the same room with the bionic man, and they seemed to have become friends. People are always better at being friends with themselves. After that, he said that he hoped that I could make more bionics to accompany him. I never refused any of his requests. I used my authority to get back ten bionics from the company, according to the appearance of the first bionic , made more of him. He never killed himself again. I don't have to worry about losing him anymore."

But Shen Lin couldn't hear any positive emotions from Forsyth's tone, and Forsyth said more seriously: "I thought his condition had improved. Unexpectedly, he began to treat these bionics Find the meaning of life."

"Once when I went home, I saw a big fire in the back garden. I yelled his name like crazy, because he likes to stay in the back garden the most. I was afraid that he would die in the fire. As a result, you know what I saw What happened? He was standing in the flames, and in front of him was an exploding android, and the fire didn't hurt him at all, it was like he was born in the flames, and those flames were his family and friends."

"I didn't dare to tell anyone about it. It was so unbelievable, and I didn't dare to ask him why, for fear of getting some unimaginable answers. But since then, I have dreamed of inexplicable things every night. I saw him sleeping next to me turned into a ball of flames, burning, and finally he turned into a ball of ashes, fell on the bed, and was blown away by the wind. I was very afraid Already—can't sleep all night."

He said tremblingly: "I don't know if you will feel this way. When the night is quiet, you think of death alone, that kind of panic from the inside out."

"Do you know the fire worship group?" Xiu asked.

Forsyth was quiet for a moment, and his voice suddenly became tense: "I know... I have suspected that he is a member of the Fire Worship Corps, but he almost never goes out. I have monitored his information, and he has not talked to anyone suspicious. people have contacts."

"Where did the bionics you made for him go?" Led by Xiu, Shen Lin ran all the way down the safe passage, escaped the chasing police, and sat in Rex's supercar.

The sports car hummed and started quickly.

"I didn't pay attention," Forsyth said. "Literally, Yang didn't want my attention. He needed his privacy."

Rex cut off the contact, and said to the others amidst the high-pitched music in the sports car: "This young master never dreamed that Yang used those bionic substitutes to green him into a grassland."

"Rin," while they were talking, Peanut asked enthusiastically, "I want to listen to you, do I need to help you access the channel?"

Rex interrupted Peanut: "Hey, he's an outsider. It's good enough for you to let him participate in our discussion. There is no need to access the call right with Forsyth."

Xiu: "If you need, I will give you access."

Shen Lin shook his head: "No, Forsyth doesn't know who I am, and he might not be so open to strangers, especially such private things."

He paused and said, "But I do have something to ask, please convey it to me."

Rex smiled and teased, "Don't be so polite, the boss will meet all your needs."

Shen Lin: "You are such a clever little ghost."

Rex: "..." This doesn't sound like a compliment.

Shen Lin said: "First, can he confirm whether the person accompanying him is the bionic man produced by the group or Yang's true self; second, what difficulties have been encountered in recalling the bionic man, and is there any way to make up for it; third, What is the reason for scrapping the bionics that have been scrapped, and how to deal with them; fourth..." Shen Lin pondered for a while, and said, "This may involve Vinos's business secrets, but I still hope that Forsyte will Si can cooperate with the answer, is there a way to confirm whether Yang in front of me is a bionic person or a deity in the shortest time."

Xiu relayed Shen Rin's questions to Forsyth one by one.

Hearing this, Forsyth seemed to have been hit hard by these questions, his head was covered for a while, and then he stumbled and said: "Wait, you mean, after Yang got the control of those bionics, Mobilized a certain bionic person to accompany me? This, this... I cannot accept this statement."

Forsyth's response already answers the first question well.

He didn't know whether the person accompanying him was Yang or Yang's bionic person.

"Ask him the second question." Shen Lin said to Xiu.

Xiu immediately asked: "Then, why do you lose contact with the bionic man now?"

"I have the highest control authority of a bionic person. When it is activated, I can obtain all control rights, but now it is out of control. The specific reason is still being investigated. I can't alarm my father. I can only rely on my own resources to investigate. You have to give me time. As for the last question, if you can access the secret key when you are close to the bionic man, I can regain control of the bionic man, and I will send the secret key and practical methods to Xiu."

Although Forsyth is a dandy and corrupt deputy son, after elite education, he is ignorant and has basic logic. Shen Rin asked questions in an orderly manner, and he answered them one by one. The most important thing is that Rex was The permission to modify the speech is forbidden, and the communication between the two sides is very efficient.

"As for the third question," Forsyth said, "there are 10 bionics of the same model, and four of them have been scrapped. One is the one you encountered before, and the previous three were burned by him. Yes, he is also responsible for the disposal after scrapping."

After answering, Shen Lin fell into deep thought. He glanced at Xiu and said, "I have no problem."

Xiu nodded, and said to Forsyth: "I hope to find out the reason for the loss of authority control as soon as possible. We will contact you if there is something to do, Mr. Forsyth."

They hang up the communication.

Rex looked at Xiu from the inside rearview mirror and asked, "Boss, what do we do next?"

"Rin, what did you find?" Xiu folded his arms around his chest, sitting upright, and still did not relax under such a high-pressure situation.

"It's still speculation, I have to wait, I want two pieces of information," Shen Lin said, "information about the recent movements of the Fire Worship Group and all the action information of the bionic substitutes before they lost control."

"I'll give it to you soon." Peanut immediately said courteously.

"Okay, two workaholics, it's my fault, let me make it clear," Rex honked the horn softly, and music with a less exciting melody sounded in the car, a little lulling people to sleep It means, "It's already dark, we've been running around for a day, and we're applying to go back to rest. I'm a loyal supporter of the eight-hour system."

"This is a rare and wise suggestion from Rex," Peanut said. "After the physical fitness test, you have consumed a lot today, and if you act at night, the efficiency will be reduced by at least 30%. In the current situation where the clues need to be further sorted out, rest is the best choice."

"This is the job of your brain workers. It's time for the driver to get off work."

Xiu said: "Approved."

"Hooray!" Rex cheered. "Fuck Vinos, fuck Forsyth, fuck Yang! I'm the prettiest boy of the night!"

After he finished cheering, he asked Xiu: "I'll take you home first, boss? No, wait, what about this kid?"

Before Shen Lin could speak, Rex said teasingly, "Boss, take me to your house for a night? He is now a well-known figure."

Peanut said unexpectedly: "Ricks, are you still you? I suspect that you have been replaced by someone else. It's rare to make such constructive suggestions continuously."

Shen Lin declined, "No, I want to go back."

"You can't go back," Peanut said. "In order to ensure that you are a reliable person who will not reveal our secrets, I installed a surveillance camera at the door of your house. Guess what I found?! Wayne sent a lot of thugs to guard At your door, as long as you show up in front of the vending machine downstairs, they will quietly surround you, arrest you and bring you to Wayne."

"By the way," Peanut said again, "there's another surprise! When Yang's bionic man committed suicide, didn't he use the built-in camera function to take pictures of you? I found that although you have been hiding in the corner, It was photographed, and now there are people from the police besides Wei En's people near your house."

Shen Lin: "..."

There was no ups and downs in Shen Lin's tone: "I'm so surprised."

Peanut was laughing like crazy.

In the end, Shen Lin followed Xiu to spend the night with him.

Xiu lives in a high-end apartment on the outer floor of the technology tower.

The environment was very different from the skyscrapers he had seen before.

Before opening the door, Shen Rin admitted that he was really curious about what Xiu's house looked like. After opening the door, the layout he saw was almost exactly the same as he had imagined.

Drab colors and furniture piece together a mechanically cold room.

Xiu took off the windbreaker and hung it on the coat rack. The light in the living room was turned on the moment the door was opened, and the cold light from the wall lamp made the room look like it was about to wake up in the early morning.

"What would you like to drink?" Xiu asked.

Shen Lin said, "Whatever."

Xiu poured him a glass of Coke and picked out a can of beer himself.

Shen Lin sat on the sofa, inevitably a little cautious.

Xiu said, "You can go take a bath."

"What am I wearing?"

"Mine? There are new clothes." Xiu asked tentatively.

Shen Lin pondered for a moment, then nodded.

He went to the bathroom to take a refreshing shower. The shirt he repaired was too big. The body of an adult man is strong and strong. He was wearing a whole size too big. The length of the shirt was enough to cover his buttocks. hanging on the ankle.

Shen Lin wiped her hair and walked out of the bathroom.

His thoughts stopped on Yang's incident. Shen Lin almost bumped into something. He staggered and looked down. It was a robot dog. After touching the porcelain, Shen Lin turned over, exposing the mechanical belly, and finally crawled He got up, lowered his body and barked at Shen Lin.

Shen Lin knelt down and stretched out his hand, the stupid dog came up and rubbed Shen Lin's fingers, its tail wagging like an electric fan.

After teasing for a while, Shen Lin stood up and looked around, but didn't find where Xiu was, only saw a not-so-bright light in the corridor coming through the crack in the door.

The mechanical dog bit Shen Lin's trouser leg and pulled him there. Shen Lin walked over obediently. He stopped at the door and looked in through the gap. He could only see Xiu Xiu sitting at the table and reading some materials.

He knocked on the door, and it didn't take long for a low and sharp response to come from inside: "Come in."

Shen Lin pushed open the door and walked in. Xiu wore a pair of glasses, which made him look a little more refined.He was concentrating on looking at the light curtain data projected on the table.

"Good evening, Rin." Peanut's voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Shen Lin responded, "Good evening, Peanut."

"The information you want has been sent to you. Xiu has a super large light curtain here. I suggest you use it with him."

"Thanks, Peanut."

Peanut laughed again, she seemed to like Shen Rin and said thank you to her.

"You're so kind, Rin, if you knew I was AI, would you still be so polite to me?" Peanut asked.

"I always knew you were an AI," Shen Lin said truthfully, "Your feedback speed is much faster than humans. On the Internet, you are the best hacker."

"Thank you for your compliment," Peanut said happily, without hiding her good mood. "If I were a human being, I would definitely fall in love with you. It's such a pleasure to get along with you."

"The relationship of a partner is always stronger than that of a lover," Shen Lin joked, "at least there will be no quarrel about who gets up early to send the children to school every day."

Peanut couldn't stop laughing again, but Xiu understood the meaning behind the joke, he interrupted Peanut and said, "Rin, come and see, it's the same as you guessed?"

Shen Lin walked to the light curtain, and the information on it had been arranged according to time, and even the events that Shen Lin cared about were aligned one by one.

"This was originally a library test," kp said, "but someone helped you sort out the materials, you are so lucky... no, happiness."

According to the data, the actions of the Fire Worship Group have been very frequent recently, ranging from the bombing of the trade show to the fire of the vending machine... There are traces of them everywhere, and they have become more headaches for the police than various local underworld gangs. The presence.

Xiu said: "These few small cases have been solved, and some hooligans are making waves in the name of the fire worship group. In the entire Devil City, everyone may be an arson group, as long as the identity of the arson group is beneficial to them. Among them, there is a larger organization that claims to be the Fire Worship Group. They imitated the Fire Worship Group and left some teachings and traces to strengthen the gang power and control gang members, but they are all very different from the original practices of the Fire Worship Group. no the same."

Shen Lin listened attentively, and he scanned the revised materials line by line.

Xiu: "The earliest case of arson was also a sensation. George's private plane exploded, and the corresponding Yang's bionic man's earliest activities were near George's private apron."

"And the latter one, these, these... can all be matched one by one." Changing Color said, "So you guessed right, Rin."

Shen Lin said: "The real fire worship group is only Yang, and when he makes a move, it is a large-scale bombing case."

"Why? Terrorist attack? What is the purpose of his terrorist attack?"

Shen Lin said: "I have a guess. The premise is that Yang regards himself as a bionic person. For him, those bionic people are his companions and exist like him. Forsyth said that he has been pursuing bionics. He continued to commit suicide because of the meaning of human life, and suddenly one day, he stopped these behaviors, he must have received some kind of revelation. This revelation let him know that explosions can be close to his ideals and beliefs.”

"Cthugya, this god is related to flames. He wants to use the bionic man as his substitute and sacrifice to his god in the hottest sacrifice. He wants to get more enlightenment through this. Sacrifice has become the meaning of his existence, as long as he has not received God's revelation, it proves that his sacrifice is not pious enough."

Xiu was silent for a long time after listening to Shen Rin's conjecture. To him—a person who is atheist and has no belief—it was a fantasy. He could not understand Yang's thoughts at all, but he did not. I don't doubt Shen Rin's guess.

Where does this inexplicable trust come from? He is very suspicious. He is a suspicious person, especially in this era and society. Or the prosthesis betrayed him.

He knew this very well, but he couldn't help being attracted by the young man. From the first moment he saw him, Xiu knew what kind of situation he was in. Even Rex could see his inadvertently softened eyes and always looking up. raised lip corners.

Shen Lin didn't notice Xiu's distraction, and continued: "His appearance must be to cause a fire or an explosion. In the apartment before, that man and the bionic man made an appointment for tomorrow's banquet. We need to find out what the banquet is tomorrow. We may To be able to stop the explosion, the ideal is to get the memory chips of the androids before they destroy the archives, so we can get a lot of clues, repair?"

"Huh?" Xiu came back to his senses and lowered his eyes, "I'm sorry, you continue."

Shen Lin frowned, and he said: "Frankly speaking, I am working so hard now, not for the 100 million, I want other rewards, I know you are a fair person, so as long as you see my value and my For what you have done, you will help me get this reward.”

"Aleigh?"

"Yes," Shen Lin said, "I want to retrieve a missing piece of memory, and I want Alaye to give me an answer."

Repair silence.

Shen Lin suddenly said in a very nostalgic tone: "You are very similar to a person I know. You are always taciturn and always give me a feeling that you have a lot to say. There are too many things suppressed in his eyes, and there are also things in him. Confused that I don’t understand. Like a person stuck in the past.”

Xiu opened his mouth and said, "Everyone's past has a lock, which grows to the point of being rusty."

Shen Lin asked curiously: "What is your lock?"

Xiu was silent again, he took out a photo frame from the drawer and handed it to Shen Lin.

It was a photo of a teenager, immature, dressed in trendy clothes, he was hugged by Xiu, with a bright and warm smile.

Shen Lin suddenly felt stabbed in the heart, and an indescribable sadness grabbed his heart.

"This is……?"

Xiu said, "My love."

Shen Lin: "..."

Xiu: "He died. Before Peanut, he was a hacker in our group, the best network expert. He invented Peanut."

"He's called Rin just like you."

"It's the same hair color and eye color as yours, and it only reaches my shoulders. He likes to step on my shoes and kiss."

"He, like you, wants to enter the topmost floor of the technology tower and go to Alaye to find his truth."

"But he died, Rin, and was blown to pieces by terrorist fire on the way to Alaye. The only thing I have left is this picture."

"I love him very much, love him very much."
