AI avatar got sand sculpture virus

Inside the skyscraper, beside the floor-to-ceiling windows with one-sided light transmission, Lin Yuyin held a cup of black tea and sipped it lightly.The hot air enveloped his face, making his fair skin look as if it was covered with light, slightly distorted.

But no one is looking at such a beautiful beauty.

The room is not big. In addition to the tea set, tables and chairs, there is also a set of high-precision holographic projection equipment, which is playing some romantic movies with plots in panoramic mode.

It's a pity that no one cast a glance.

Lin Yuyin was looking out the window, as if among these high-rise buildings, there was some scenery that interested him very much, which made him always smile.

Not far behind Lin Yuyin, a man in a black shirt was sitting quietly, without taking a sip of the coffee in front of him.

Lu Xingshen's eyelids kept twitching, from the time he entered the door until now, like some ominous omen.

The holographic projection in the room was directly muted, and the originally fascinating plot became a little funny.

He is not interested in the film, nor is he willing to look at anything outside the window. He holds the top of the cane in his left hand, and frequently operates on his brain, as if he is busy, but also seems to be trying to resolve his irritable emotions.

"Brother Lu, don't you want to take a look?"

Lin Yuyin held a small teaspoon and stirred it gently in the cup, her light voice seemed to be tempting on purpose, "From here you can overlook almost the entire city, and you can see many things that you can't usually see."

Lu Xingshen still didn't raise his head, as if he was really immersed in some kind of thinking, ignoring the voices from the outside world.

Lin Yuyin didn't care too much about this, he didn't need to turn his head, he could see Lu Xingshen's state from the reflection in the glass, which only made his smile deeper.

"Or, Brother Lu is willing to accompany me today, not because he wants to see me, but because he is worried that I will make trouble, so he needs to see me face to face?"

As if she knew that her voice was blocked and could not be heard, Lin Yuyin talked to herself more and more casually, "How could it be? It's a major event in my life, why would I make trouble myself? It's too late for me to be happy .”

Looking down, from a distance of about a few streets, you can see a small shopping mall built on the bridge in the building.

The signboard with the four characters "Sky Town" is so big that even if you look at it from such a far French window, you can vaguely recognize the outline of the four characters.

An electronic firework shot up above the sky town and exploded, forming the word "Welcome".

Lin Yuyin saw it, covered her lips and let out a chuckle, but her eyes didn't feel warm. Looking at Lu Xingshen's reflection on the glass, she half-jokingly said, "Brother Lu, aren't you happy?"

Are you not happy to see that everything is going smoothly?

When the words fell to the ground, Lu Xingshen suddenly raised his head.

Lin Yuyin was taken aback.

Lu Xingshen didn't look at him, but quickly operated his brain, connected a video call, and briefly said a few words to the other party.

"Academician Lu, the result of the analysis and decoding you asked for last time has come out, is it convenient for you to take a look?"

"Okay. Send it to me online, and the result will be kept secret for the time being."

"Don't worry about this, we have always highly protected the privacy of our guests and never disclosed it, let alone a big customer like you," the young voice on the other side said with a smile,

"However, there is still a page of content in it. Some problems were encountered during the analysis, and it may not be possible to get too clear results."

"Let me consider."

Lu Xingshen hung up the call, and then the projection screen popped up in front of him, and began to receive the confidential document.

Lin Yuyin was left alone, knowing that a busy person is a busy person, so there was no time for him to chat.

After a while, he came to sit down opposite Lu Xingshen, and there was no displeasure on his face, but he smiled and said, "Brother Lu, is there anything I can do for you?"

"fine."

Lu Xingshen simply declined and opened the document face to face.

The screen projection technology has its own anti-peeping algorithm. When viewed from the front, it appears to be a flat surface. When viewed from other angles, it appears as irregular light spots that cannot be read directly.

With such secrecy, Lu Xingshen is not worried about checking it directly outside.

Analyzing and deciphering the original text, it was the notebook left by his grandfather on the black market.

On the first day he got this notebook, Lu Xingshen found out the special features of the pages. After reading through it carefully, he found that there were large blank spaces on it. At first glance, it looked like some scribbled diaries and essays. Some wrote fragmented thoughts, and some lamented the daily life of a certain day.

Now, a more professional person was found to decrypt it successfully, and sure enough, another layer of information hidden under the notes was discovered.

Lu Xingshen thought that it would be like his grandfather's other inheritances, full of technical discoveries and explorations, but now that he opened it up, it turned out to be all conjectures and experiments around 'bionic man and soul'.

The word soul is too abstract and metaphysical, like a field that people who study mysticism will be involved in, and it doesn't seem like something that an old scientist who has spent his life breaking through the limits of human technology will think about.

However, such content was carefully encrypted and kept in such a mysterious notebook.

However, after writing the whole book of conjecture, research and verification process, when the page of the final conclusion was reached, the speech suddenly became incoherent, like gibberish after drunkenness or madness, and it was impossible to read normally.

The person who gave the result said that the deciphering should have failed.

Lu Xingshen compared the original text, the deciphering method, and the chaotic result, and fell into deep thought.

If someone else saw such a result, he would definitely think that his grandfather was finally confused in his old age, and even the smartest academician would eventually go crazy at the end of his academic career.

But he didn't believe it.

Perhaps the person who submitted the analysis results just said that the analysis and deciphering failed out of euphemism, politeness and other reasons that he did not want to offend him, but after reading it, Lu Xingshen felt that this was indeed a deciphering problem.

His grandpa always likes to set another level when he is on the verge of closing the door, just like when he was playing decryption games with his grandpa when he was a child.

——The more precious something is, the harder it is to get it. When you find that you can't be happy too early, maybe there are bigger surprises waiting for you to harvest later.

These are the words that Lu Chen, Lu Xingshen's grandfather, always talked about back then.

As the person who knew Lu Chen best, Lu Xingshen decided to try to decipher it again himself, to see what was hidden behind these ciphertexts that looked like nonsense on the surface.

It seemed that someone sat down beside him, worried about his stomach and health as usual, and brought fragrant coffee to his mouth.

Lu Xingshen took it habitually, took a sip, his lips became no longer dry and his throat became moister.

About 1 minute later, Lu Xingshen vaguely felt that it was against his will. He always said that coffee would make people more dehydrated and bad for the body, so why did you urge him to drink coffee today?

Suddenly returning to his senses, he looked up and met those familiar smiling eyes.

It was Lin Yuyin.

It turned out to be Lin Yuyin.

Being with 996 in the research institute for too long, getting used to it, and when he was so absorbed in thinking that he lost himself in the depths, he mistook Lin Yuyin from the corner of his eye for 996 who liked to let him eat and drink.

"What's wrong? Brother Lu."

Lu Xing was stunned for a few seconds, then looked away.

"It's nothing. Sorry, I have to be busy for a while. If you feel bored, you can leave me alone."

……

"Quick! This way!"

On the noisy spiral staircase, Chen Xiaonian dragged Ah Jiu all the way to overtake, "We'll be there soon!"

The layout of Sky Town has too many twists and turns, and the two of them turned around in it before finally finding the right way.

Go through this spiral staircase, and then go down the slide on the other side, and you will reach the toy store called Peter Pan's House.

After receiving Xiao Xia's news that the shop will be completely closed tomorrow, Ah Jiu has already decided to go out.

Originally, because Colonel Fu would appear here today, Chen Xiaonian persuaded Ah Jiu to come again. If they were not afraid that the shop would be empty, they would not have taken such a big risk.

Before going out, Chen Xiaonian repeatedly informed, confirming that Ah Jiu understands the risks of today's trip.

"The person who found the black market is likely to be the colonel's person, or even himself. Although you have changed your face, he is very sensitive to bionic people. He can detect something wrong as long as he meets him. At that time, I will not be able to save you. "

Chen Xiaonian also thought that it would be great if Ah Jiu was not obsessed with coming back here again, if he could be as cautious as possible and not take such a big risk.

But ideals are only ideals after all.

Ah Jiu knew the danger, but still insisted on coming back.

"This is my last wish."

The dull bionic man said calmly, "If I don't come today, even if I continue to exist for a hundred years or a thousand years, I will only become unable to realize my wish."

So, Chen Xiaonian still brought him here.

On the powder-blue spiral staircase, couples in twos and threes are not in a hurry to go upstairs, but stop at the railing to take pictures, or walk slowly and chat.

Like a gust of wind, Chen Xiaonian and Ah Jiu rushed through the crowd and rushed towards their finish line.

"arrive!"

Among the rows of lively and bright colors, the quaint coffee-colored toy store has become the only dark color. The lights are not turned on, the doors are closed, and no customers stay here.

Different from those novel stores that are constantly introducing new ones, the things in the toy store are too old-fashioned, which will evoke childhood memories, but it does not sell childhood feelings, it is just an old store that cannot keep up with the times.

Today, this old store is finally coming to its end and is about to close down.

The main entrance was already locked. Ah Jiu and Chen Xiaonian came here, walked around to the back of the shop with ease, and pushed open the dusty back door.

The harsh light finally illuminated the dim toy store through the crack of the door.

Chen Xiaonian raised his hand to fan the dust in the air, sneezed, groped by the wall, and found the light switch.

There was a snap, but no lights came on. He muttered helplessly, "Could it be due to arrears?" and turned on the lighting of his brain's peripherals.

Little dolls, little puppets, toy carts, building blocks, music boxes...

The toys that grew up with Ah Jiu in memory still maintain the appearance in memory, quietly placed in the display cabinet, full of cute smiling faces.

Ah Jiu stood in the toy store, looked left and right, walked around behind the counter, found a chair with a certain style, pulled it out from the corner, placed it in a specific position, and sat on it.

The tinkling wind chime sounded, Chen Xiaonian closed the back door, walked over, reached out and touched the dried flowers hanging by the wall, "How do you feel?"

As Ah Jiu was thinking, his movements seemed to become a little slow, and he tilted his head in confusion.

"I...remember, in the past, I was also sitting here, and the master would sit next to him and look after the shop. If there are any guests coming in, I'll let you know—welcome to Peter Pan's House."

"It's really good."

Chen Xiaonian had never been to such a toy store before, and exclaimed, "Was the store at that time the same as it is now?"

Ah Jiu thought for a while, nodded, and shook her head again.

There are many places that are the same, and many places that have become different.

He raised his hand, opened the curtain next to him, found the drawstring in his memory, and pulled it lightly.

With a ding, the sound of the machine running, the sound of gears rubbing, the sound of metal colliding, and the sound of simple music sounded one after another.

Colorful small light bulbs lit up, forming a circle around the store, and the toys in the display cabinets were turned on at the same time, some were shaking their bodies and heads, some were dancing in circles on the small platform, and some were singing songs.

The sound of tuk-tuk-tuk sounded, and a small toy train also screamed and drove out of the cave, and the electric plane flew around in circles under the ceiling.

The dusty toy store that had been neglected for a long time suddenly came to life at this moment.

Some tourists noticed the movement here, and suddenly there was a child staying at the door of the shop that was ignored, and looked in through the window curiously.

"It's almost the same now."

Ah Jiu smiled and said in a low voice, "It's like when the master went shopping and left me here to watch the store."

As he said, he looked towards the main entrance of the store, and remembered the way the owner pushed the door and entered in his mind.

The memory of bionics is not like that of human beings, it will fade and fade with the passage of time, or even forget.

Those memories are directly stored as data, as long as Ah Jiu doesn't want to, they will always be preserved in the clearest and most profound appearance, as if they were yesterday.

"At that time, the owner would close the shop when it got dark, and he would tell me stories before going to bed. Although I didn't need to sleep, I would lie on the wooden bed together and listen to him."

Chen Xiaonian asked curiously, "What kind of story is it?"

"A tale of magicians, stone carvings, and the creation of life,"

Ah Jiu thought about it, and still doesn't quite understand the meaning of the story, "I don't understand it very well, but the ending should be good. The magician succeeded, and the stone sculptures also remember their creators."

Chen Xiaonian put his hands on his shoulders, "If you like this place very much, I can buy the store directly with money, so that it doesn't have to be emptied by others."

But Ah Jiu shook his head and didn't accept it, "Don't bother."

……

Xia Ge dragged Fu Bowang to a small entertainment shop called 'Phantom Labyrinth'.

The small shop is for play, it seems to be specially for couples, two people in a group, enter from two entrances respectively, and find each other somewhere in the maze within a limited time, to be considered a success.

Due to the limited area and space of the Sky Town, the maze is set up in a changeable manner. It is composed of glass screens, which makes it easy for people to lose their way. On this basis, it is still an active maze. It changes every ten seconds.

On those glass screens, some specific images and videos can also be played according to the customer's customization. After listening to the owner's introduction, those who love to play will play some scary and ghostly ghosts, and those who pursue the atmosphere will shape it into a sea of ​​flowers or Romantic memories of the two together.

In Xia Ge's opinion, this kind of game is the most suitable for killing time, and it can also cooperate with Chen to slow down the Colonel's footsteps.

When asked what to put on the screen in the maze, Xia Ge didn't have any ideas, and didn't feel much about ghosts, so he asked Fu Bowang for his opinion.

As a result, Fu Bowang said that he was not interested in these illusory things, so he just showed normal walls.

Such an emotionless response made the owner's smile stiff for a second, and he hurriedly said yes, and went to arrange it.

After Xia Ge entered the maze, he walked through the maze slowly and perfunctorily while contacting classmate Chen.

He has seen it somewhere before, saying that after entering the maze, walking with one hand touching the wall is the trick to get out of the maze.

So Xia Ge also put his left hand against the wall and walked slowly and unhurriedly.

Xia Ge was relieved when Chen Xiaonian told him that he had successfully arrived at the toy store.

After 40 seconds, the walls of the maze started to move, Xia Ge stood still, and continued to touch the walls after the activity was over.

Classmate Chen and Ah Jiu still have to stay in the store for a while, so he will try his best to delay the time.

While walking, it felt like a few minutes later, Xia Ge suddenly felt his eyes widen.

"Eh?"

He came out?

No, this maze is not difficult at all!

Xia Ge was shocked.

He bypassed the maze and came to another exit, only to find that the colonel had already come out, with a blank expression on his face, and he didn't seem to be having a good time.

The shopkeeper smoothed things over, saying that the two really had a tacit understanding.

Fu Bowang turned his head to look, his face just softened a little, a new couple walked in, arm in arm, talking and laughing, "Oh, I heard that people who can find each other in the middle of the maze can stay together forever .”

"Then I will find you, dear."

"That's a must. If you can't find it, don't go out. Otherwise, the meaning is very bad, and there will be no fate."

"My dear, we must be destined to each other."

Xia Ge: "..."

Fu Bowang pretended not to hear, and went out directly.

Xia Ge hurriedly followed.

"Mr. Fu, that..."

"do not move."

After Fu Bowang came out, he suddenly saw something, and suddenly raised his hand to stop Xia Ge behind him, his eyes became sharp in an instant.

"...?!"

Xia Ge was startled, conditioned to think something bad was going to happen.

But, it shouldn't be, this is the furthest away from the toy store, even if the layout here is strange, he has confirmed that he will definitely not see the toy store.

Following Fu Bowang's line of sight, Xia Ge only saw a bustling crowd.

and many more……

Xia Ge slightly widened his eyes.

no?That strange and suspicious-looking person... Could it be that he was shopping recklessly wearing contraband? !

Although, although it looks like you are just shopping, it is too undisguised!

In the crowd, a strange man wore a metal device on his head, covering his eyes, ears, and nose, like a half helmet, with only the exposed corner of his mouth raised high, looking very happy.

That device, which Xia Ge saw not long ago, is a very dangerous contraband named 'Window of Utopia'.

People walking on the street are in a good mood, but the man's behavior seems to be particularly abnormal. No matter what he sees or hears, whether he is ignored or ignored, he always shows a very good mood and a very enthusiastic appearance. Even a little too excited, almost dancing with hands and feet.

What caught Fu Bowang's attention was the abnormality of this man.

Some of the surrounding crowd didn't care about this man, he was just a strange stranger to them, while some frowned slightly, and then left, feeling that they had encountered a mental illness.

Fu Bowang directly put on the smart brain peripherals, turned on the call, and quickly notified his subordinates, the coordinates and the event - the contraband user code-named Utopia appeared at the top of Sky Town.

The man was walking aimlessly on the street, and suddenly, for some reason, he started running, and he was about to disappear into the crowd and lose track.

Fu Bowang followed quickly.

"Colonel!"

Xia Ge quickly followed, and quickly sent classmate Chen the unexpected situation.

That suspicious man didn't seem to be aggressive for the time being, but he was clearly leading the Colonel to run around in Sky Town!It's dangerous if you accidentally find a toy store!

As a place where people gather to go shopping and have fun, there are many people on the street, and they are all walking at a very slow speed, making it difficult for people to pass through it quickly.

Soon, Fu Bowang also realized this problem, quickly scanned the surroundings, jumped onto a box with amazing physical strength, borrowed strength from the wall, and climbed to the roof in two or three steps.

Although the town has three floors, its structure is special, it is distributed in a checkerboard shape, and the shops are not dense, but after stepping on the roof, the view is wide, and it becomes easier to jump and run directly from the roof.

"Colonel...you, where are you going?"

Xia Ge pretended not to know anything, and chased after him all the way, but he didn't go up to the top of the building. If he was too physically fit, his identity would be discovered... He could only follow below as best he could, telling Ah Jiu where he was at any time while running. and classmate Chen.

They seemed to come here whenever they wanted, but within a few minutes, they were getting closer and closer to the toy store.

Chen Xiaonian sent a reply:

[We'll leave immediately! 】

However, Fu Bowang never intended to let 'Lin Yuyin' follow him all the time.

He stared at the suspicious person, saw the timing, jumped off the roof again, and chased after him alone.

Every time Lin Yuyin met him, he encountered various dangers, but at least this time, he wanted to keep this danger far away so that it would not affect the other party.

Today...he really wanted to have a good talk, not set up or use it in the name of a date.

Thinking of this, Fu Bowang sent Lin Yuyin a text message.

[Sorry, I have business to deal with, you can go back today, and I will find time to treat you to dinner later. 】

Standing in the crowd, Xia Ge couldn't see Fu Bowang anywhere. He gritted his teeth and climbed up to a roof to look, but he didn't see Fu Bowang either.

He lost it.

How to do?

Having no direction, he simply rushed towards the direction of the toy store, what if there is something he can help?

If Colonel Fu really found the toy store, he wouldn't necessarily find Ah Jiu, and he might not be able to notice Ah Jiu's abnormality when he saw Ah Jiu... As long as he was there, at least he could divert the Colonel's attention. Help Ah Jiu and the others to leave first.

Without Fu Bowang's contact information, Xia Ge thought about it, and the only person he could think of asking for help was Lu Xingshen.

Xia Ge wanted to send a message, but he was not familiar with this peripheral device imitating a smart brain, and accidentally pressed it as a call command.

Before he could react, he let out an ah, but he didn't expect the other party to connect immediately.

Lu Xing's deep voice came from beside his ear, "Hello."

Xia Ge panicked, "Lu Xingshen, can you come, come..."

what?Come pick me up?Come help me pick up my friend and protect Ah Jiu?Or to help lure Colonel Fu away?How would he explain Ah Jiu's existence, and how would he make it clear?

The more Xia Ge wanted to say, the more anxious he became, but he couldn't say anything clearly.

However, on the other end of the phone, Lu Xingshen didn't ask any further questions, and immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll be right there. You wait for me near the candy store in A3."
