Compete with your nemesis to be a prodigal

"There are no ruins there, let alone unfinished buildings. Instead, a whole manor was built." Lu Bingwen glanced at Duan Zhuoheng with a smile, "It is said that it became the private courtyard of a mysterious rich man."

Duan Zhuoheng knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he sighed and didn't answer.

"I still underestimated you." Lu Bingwen chuckled, lowered his eyes and said silently: "D&L, why didn't I think of it before, no wonder you have always acted like you don't care about Qirun."

"I'm sorry Wenwen, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just..." Duan Zhuoheng paused for a while, "It's just that I didn't find the right time to confess to you."

Lu Bingwen looked at him with a half-smile, unable to tell whether he believed it or not, and asked calmly, "Is this the right time?"

Duan Zhuoheng moved his mouth, but finally swallowed the words he was about to explain.

"D&L was founded with Liao Chen when I was studying abroad," Duan Zhuoheng decided to confess, "At that time, I knew that I was not good enough for you, so I tried my best to start a business, but Duan Yuming didn't give me enough living expenses. Liao Chen, who was forced by his parents to start a business, was rich and didn’t want to take care of things, so he decided to inject capital into me. We were all prepared to fail the first time, but who knew that the first product developed by the company The software exploded and sold for a good price, directly doubling the company's market value by dozens of times..."

When Duan Zhuoheng talked about these things, he didn't mean to show off at all. On the contrary, he was full of regret and regret, as if making money was more uncomfortable than losing it.

It wasn't until he went on to say that Lu Bingwen didn't understand.

"At that time, I originally went back to China alone to find you, but the company had just started and I was too busy, so it dragged on for several months. When I finally had time to go back to China, you already had a boyfriend. "When Duan Zhuoheng said this, there was a little self-mockery mixed with sadness.

Lu Bingwen had an opinion, and frowned and looked at him: "When did I have a boyfriend?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt that something was wrong, and I rolled my eyes and thought of something: "You are talking about Su Gan?"

"Ah."

"What is it?" Lu Bingwen curled his lips, "You couldn't ask a few more questions at that time, I just wanted to celebrate his birthday with him."

Duan Zhuoheng sighed slightly. Now that he thinks about it, he also feels that he was too impulsive at that time. He didn't ask anything. He decided that Lu Bingwen had a new boyfriend just based on a few gossips from others, and he rushed to Sugan to say it in a great way. A statement from his ex-boyfriend, warning him to treat Wenwen well.

Thinking back now, when Su Gan heard what he said, the expression on his face was obviously not the expression that a real boyfriend should have when facing his ex-boyfriend.

Duan Zhuoheng sneered, and admitted with self-mocking: "Yeah, my brain might not be very good at that time, I was a bit stupid."

Is this still the Duan Zhuoheng who even I think is a dirty word?

Lu Bingwen's eyes widened in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his ears, how could the word SB come out of this guy's mouth?

Duan Zhuoheng would also look at him, as if joking: "Why, do you think I'm rude?"

Lu Bingwen subconsciously shook his head, thinking that the word you is rude, so am I not a barbarian?

Forget it, let's change the subject.

Lu Bingwen cleared his throat: "Then the date of your mobile phone password and the upstairs password is..."

After a pause, he said, "Is it the time when I committed suicide in my dream?"

It is really strange to say this, especially when Lu Bingwen has almost realized that the so-called dream may not be just a dream.

Duan Zhuoheng pressed his lips tightly and nodded with difficulty.

"OK." Lu Bingwen exhaled, trying to express that he was very calm, but the panic flashing in his eyes still betrayed him.

"Then, the next question... Who am I now?"

At the beginning of speaking, Lu Bingwen's lips trembled a little, but by the end of the question, all the redundant expressions on his face had been suppressed, leaving only solemnity.

Looking at the hero in the movie who began to doubt everything, Lu Bingwen felt that he had never felt more empathetic with him than now.

Seeing that Duan Zhuoheng didn't speak, he lowered his head and pinched the center of his brows, and asked another way: "Or, do I really exist now?"

"Of course!" Duan Zhuoheng didn't hesitate any more this time, and nodded heavily, "Of course you are real!"

"That means, that dream was fake?"

Duan Zhuoheng's expression began to become a little complicated, and finally shook his head slowly.

Lu Bingwen had already expected it in his heart, so he wasn't too surprised. He smiled and continued, "The dream is true, and it is true now, so what is false?"

Duan Zhuoheng clenched his hands into fists, put them on his lap and meditated for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and looked fixedly into Lu Bingwen's eyes: "As long as you believe, everything is true."

Lu Bingwen avoided his gaze, leaned back on the sofa, and said, "At first, I persuaded myself that way, but..."

Lu Bingwen turned his head to look at him: "It was you who guided me along the way and let me discover the loopholes around me, didn't you?"

As a materialist who has persisted for more than 20 years, in fact, Lu Bingwen should have realized that something was wrong from the very beginning when 7436 appeared. How could a system that can be seen and touched but can possess the human body exist in the real world?

Even if it comes from some so-called parallel world, the tasks it brings are very unreasonable.

If the amount of tens or millions of missions in the first few missions is not enough to have a great impact on the world, but the next tens of millions or hundreds of millions seem to appear in this world out of thin air. But it still didn't arouse anyone's suspicion...

This in itself is a very strange thing, let alone the park yesterday.

Lu Bingwen took out his mobile phone, played a surveillance video and handed it to Duan Zhuoheng: "This is the real-time surveillance of the square in the northwest corner of Pingkang Park."

"Did you see that, the curly-haired aunt in the last row slapped the black-haired aunt next to her while she was moving?"

Duan Zhuoheng nodded.

"Next, the black-haired aunt will deliberately call back."

As soon as Lu Bingwen's voice fell, the black-haired aunt in the screen took advantage of the gesture of shaking her hand and slapped her back.

"Following that, the curly-haired aunt would stop and question the black-haired aunt... Then, the aunt in the front row with glasses would come over to persuade the fight... Finally, the two of them stared at each other.

Lu Bingwen is like a prophet, he said, the same behavior will be carried out on the screen, exactly.

After the quarreling uncles and aunts dispersed and left, Lu Bingwen moved his wrist, took back his phone, and asked Duan Zhuoheng in an emotionless voice: "Aren't you guilty of letting these NPCs repeat the same actions every day?" ?”

Duan Zhuoheng's eyes wandered, and he said that he didn't want you to find out earlier, but the explanation he said was: "When setting up this world, there are some problems with the parameters, which may be bugs."

"You finally admitted it?" Lu Bingwen looked down at his body, "So the current me is just a bunch of data?"

Duan Zhuoheng nodded, then shook his head: "Your body is, but your soul is not."

"What do you mean?" Lu Bingwen raised his head.

Duan Zhuoheng looked at him and shook his phone: "Let me tell you a story, a story that happened after this date."

When the news of Huanyu's bankruptcy reached country A, D&L was in the process of its second round of financing. As the founder Duan Zhuoheng, it was difficult to leave everyone behind, so he could only ask a friend to return to China to take care of him.

Because he knew that Lu Bingwen was used to spending money lavishly, and was afraid that he would not get used to it once he was down and out, Duan Zhuoheng handed over all the 7000 million yuan he could save at that time to that friend, and asked him to hand it over to Lu Bingwen when he needed it.

But it was probably because Duan Zhuoheng was still too immature at that time, and didn't quite understand how unbearable human nature is in the face of desire and money. Together, the friend he trusted with all his heart didn't fulfill the agreement after getting the 7000 million, and even Lu Bingwen I didn't even meet each other, and I didn't even set foot in the country, so I got on the plane to Las Vegas.

While having a good time, while Duan Zhuoheng was so busy that he didn't have time to check the authenticity of what he said, he fabricated a series of lies to make him feel at ease.

After the financing was over and the company's operations gradually stabilized, Duan Zhuoheng checked the news in the country and saw Lu Zhiyuan's obituary being reposted on various portal websites, and only then did he realize that he had been cheated.

There was no time to pursue the responsibility of the bastard who stole the money, so Duan Zhuoheng got on the plane back to China immediately, but it was still too late.

When he went back, Lu Bingwen had already left.

The dead body that jumped off the building was very horrible. Everyone persuaded Duan Zhuoheng to let Lu Bingwen go to the ground as soon as possible, but he seemed to be bewildered and refused to listen at all.

For a long time, Duan Zhuoheng couldn't accept the fact that Lu Bingwen had left, and wished he could stay in the morgue 24 hours a day, chatting with the corpse on the coffin like a normal person.

Liao Chen knew that he probably had a psychological problem, but he couldn't help him out.

At this moment, a piece of news about experimenting with frozen brains to prolong life attracted his attention. With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Liao Chen told Duan Zhuoheng his idea.

Although people cannot be resurrected after death, maybe one day technology will develop in the future, and maybe one day they will be able to achieve rebirth?

Liao Chen didn't believe in such an almost crazy idea, but in order to cheer up Duan Zhuoheng, he did not hesitate to introduce this experiment to him with the most certain tone.

In the end, Duan Zhuoheng was persuaded by him, and finally he was willing to leave Lu Bingwen, and handed over his body to the top cryonics company in country E.

But obviously, even though the myth of resurrection will really appear one day, the mortal Duan Zhuoheng will definitely not be able to wait, and of course he will not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, Ban Hong's human-computer interconnection project caught his attention.
