Chapter 248 You Can Be a Substitute

With Lao Zheng's yell, the police force rushed in, and the robots fought against the elites of the military and police. A melee between dark technology and ordinary humans broke out in Mandela's core bunker.

In an instant, shouts, gunshots, and metal-to-metal collisions intertwined.

The scene was too chaotic, so Duan Cuizhen screamed: "He Yu, come back! Your task now is to protect my safety!"

He Yu didn't hesitate for a moment, broke through the siege, and ran towards Duan Cuizhen's direction, but on the way, a person stood in front of him.

In the shadow of gunpowder and blood, it was Xie Qingcheng who stood in front of him!

He Yu narrowed his eyes, for some reason he didn't make a move immediately: "Get out of the way."

"The Vivian standing over there is not your mother." Xie Qingcheng said, "He Yu, wake up."

"Of course I know that's not my mother, but as long as Duan Cuizhen lives, my mother will be able to live in the Mandela universe sooner or later!" He Yu said sharply, "Get out of the way!!"

Xie Qingcheng's voice was also raised: "You are under control! Even if the Mandela metaverse is completed, it will not be your mother who will be resurrected, it is just some simulated illusory reflection, you used to know very well in your heart One point. Think about your past, your life is filled with joys, sorrows, joys, and flesh-and-blood people, it cannot be replaced by any set of data—you are unique, So does your mother!"

He Yu's eyes were slightly confused, and Xie Qingcheng's words seemed to have another impact on the concept system that Mandela forcibly implanted in his brain.

There are sporadic memories swirling in his heart...

He Jiwei took himself to go fishing when he was a child, and it was one of the few times that they got along with their father and son. Even though it was only one afternoon, he can still remember it to this day.

Xie Xue took out a candy and handed it to his palm. The candy still had the warmth of the little girl's palm, and she grinned at him.

Xie Qingcheng stood by the chair, put on a mask, and looked at He Yu's eyes with peach blossom eyes. He asked He Yu to stretch out his hand, and the white and soft gauze was wrapped around He Yu's bleeding wrist one after another.

……

"If everyone you meet becomes extracted data that can be recreated, if everyone's life becomes data that can be uploaded and downloaded at will, edited and extended infinitely...the boundary between reality and virtuality You can no longer tell the difference. Day after day, you will be anesthetized in a world that you expect to see. You think that there are all the things you lost in that world, but the fact is that what is lost is lost. It is not Maybe back! The so-called Mandela universe is just using human emotions to trick you into forgetting those real people and sleeping forever in a realistic dream.”

He Yu: "..."

"Reality can't be replaced." Xie Qingcheng said to him, because he hadn't fought with He Yu up to this moment, so he knew that He Yu could listen to some of his words, and He Yu's mind seemed to be blocked. The steel pillar that penetrated into Mandela was imprisoned and unable to move, but He Yu's heart was suppressed under this steel pillar.

He knew that He Yu was awake under that abyss.

There are people fighting and fighting all around, everyone has their own opponent, and Xie Qingcheng is facing He Yu.

He Yu's eyes were slightly dazed.

Sensing his hesitation, Xie Qingcheng tremblingly said: "Wake up... He Yu, I know that there are many regrets in this reality, and many times it will make people feel extremely painful. You lost your mother, you lost Family love... You have lost many things, but it is because of this loss that people will continue to grow, learn to cherish, and understand the meaning of life to themselves. The kind of person Duan Cuizhen described to you can be anything The replaced world will make you gradually intoxicated and paralyzed in the illusion, and eventually forget the most real ones. Do you understand?"

"..."

"Don't listen to him!!" Duan Cuizhen hid in the distance and didn't dare to get too close, but she saw that the situation was critical, so she shouted at He Yu, "Don't listen to what he said! What is irreplaceable The so-called "love" in this world is nothing more than human beings looking for self-identity. You only seek the so-called family, friendship and love to make yourself happy-people live for themselves! Mandela Yuan The universe can let you get everything you want, restore everything you lost, you are the master of your own destiny, what's wrong?!"

He Yu couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his forehead.

He felt that his head was in pain, and his flesh and blood hurt like being torn apart.

"He Yu! Have you forgotten why you fell in love with Xie Qingcheng? You just want to find something that can fill the void in your heart, don't you?" Duan Cuizhen felt anxious when he saw that he was still hesitating. Then, with a thought, he screamed, "Anyone is fine, as long as he treats you well! Have you forgotten? You didn't like Xie Qingcheng in the first place, he turned to Xie Xue because you couldn't ask for it. And the ones who noticed!"

Xie Qingcheng: "!!"

Xie Xue? !

Even under such circumstances, Xie Qingcheng was still shocked.

He Yu once... liked Xie Xue?

It was as if a gap was suddenly opened in the dam, and then the past flowed down like a flood——

On Neverland, He Yu mistakenly thought that Xie Xue was the one under the fox puppet, so he said those words.

In the Hangzhou Hotel, He Yu said that he was broken in love, looked into his eyes, and finally kissed him by mistake.

The girl from the same school that He Yu once liked that I had never asked about...

Xie Qingcheng was suddenly enlightened, and suddenly realized the origin of all this!

He froze in place for a moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duan Cuizhen shouted loudly: "He Yu, come here!"

"..."

He Yu frowned.

"Come here!! He lied to you! He abandoned you! You don't have to insist on him at all!!" The woman's voice was as sharp as a drilling machine, piercing He Yu's heart!

She shouted hysterically: "No one takes you seriously at all! You will only be deceived again and again! Wake up! Think about how he once treated you!! Have you forgotten?!! You just put He became Xie Xue's replacement, but how much he suffered from him! Think about it!!"

He Yu's eyes became more and more confused, he covered his head, and as Duan Cuizhen screamed, scenes of Xie Qingcheng's former indifference flashed before his eyes——

"What does your sickness have to do with me?"

"When you're dead, let me know in a dream. If I'm in a good mood, I might go to your grave and offer you a stick of incense. Beast."

"get out!"

roll……

roll! !

In front of him was Xie Qingcheng's back, dragging his suitcase and walking away without looking back...

This scene is like sharp fragments passing through the body!

He Yu trembled all over, as if there were countless invisible wounds opening on his body, thousands of arrows piercing through his heart...

He murmured: "Yes... There is a hole in my heart... I have a hole in my heart... You are all lying to me... None of you want me... It's all fake, the candles are fake, the friends are fake , relatives are fake...none of them are real!!"

"So I...so I...so I've been looking for something that can replace these warmth..."

He raised his head abruptly, his pupils were blood red, and the light in his eyes was trembling.

"There is nothing that cannot be replaced...you too...you are just a substitute! You will never be just a substitute!! I put too much sincerity on a substitute and ended up killing myself It’s like this!! I’m stupid!!!”

He suddenly cast his eyes on Duan Cuizhen, those eyes were almost completely empty.

"You're right...you're right...there is nothing that cannot be replaced...the feelings in this world are ultimately just for human beings to satisfy themselves! There is nothing that cannot be replaced!!"

He shouted violently, the blood in his eyes became even more bloody, the bullets had been exhausted, he drew out the bayonet, held it in his palm, and rushed towards Xie Qingcheng! !

"careful!"

The nearest armed police soldier had just killed a modified person, turned his head and saw the situation here, and immediately rushed to support, and fought He Yu in an instant.

At the same time, Zheng Jingfeng also ended his battle with a bunch of hyenas, and the leopard approached Duan Cuizhen with wide eyes and a loud drink—this is the opportunity—!

When she lacks protection! !

"Ah!!" Seeing Zheng Jingfeng's attack, Duan Cuizhen screamed hysterically, dodging Zheng Jingfeng's attack hastily, she ran wildly, and ran to the main control desk.

Zheng Jingfeng caught up immediately, but Duan Cuizhen was no match for the old criminal policeman, seeing that the second blow was about to stab her between the eyebrows!

suddenly--

Somehow, Duan Cuizhen collapsed beside the pillars of the chief operating platform.

Zheng Jingfeng was startled.Before he stabbed her in the brain, she fell to the ground like a beautiful snake shedding its skin, her red dress was spread out behind her, her eyes were wide open, there was no focus in them, and she stared blankly. Cave ceiling.

For a moment Zheng Jingfeng thought she was faking it, and for another moment he thought she was hit by someone else's stray bullet.

However, before these thoughts had time to take root, he suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, and a professional sixth sense accumulated over the years made him lie on the ground all of a sudden!Sure enough, the moment he got down on the ground, he heard a loud explosion, and a three-meter-high glass container in front of him was hit by a bullet, and the drug reactor surged out from behind the cracked and broken glass, together with The soaked corpses slid out and rushed on him.

He became very sick all of a sudden.Immediately get up from the ground.

But he didn't care about these things, he suddenly turned his head to look, and when he saw who had fired this cold shot at him, his pupils suddenly shrank!

The man who shot him was—

Duan Wen? !

He, wasn't he controlled by Xie Qingcheng?

"Old Zheng! He's not Duan Wen...I can feel it! He's not Duan Wen! It's Duan Cuizhen! She can invade Duan Wen's brain through that machine!!!"

The battle here is fierce, Xie Qingcheng rushed over after hearing the sound, and reminded Zheng Jingfeng with a shout.

Zheng Jingfeng was shocked, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Vivian's body lying on the ground.

when did she...

After he didn't think about it, he saw a purple button-shaped instrument in her palm!

It turned out that when Duan Cuizhen's brain waves moved to Vivienne from a young boy, she was careful. She knew that this was a temporary move and would not last long. He quietly held the spare simple remote control fixed on the console in his palm.

Before the operation began, Duan Wen had done another brain co-connection experiment with her because of the need for multiple tests, so at this moment, Duan Wen still had the corresponding radio wave film attached to the side of her neck and did not take it off.As long as the two of them are still near this large operating table and are affected by the radiation waves of the operating table, through this simple converter, there is a chance to achieve it.

As a gamble, she succeeded.

Duan Cuizhen's willpower is extraordinary. At this time, the ferocious beast is forced into a desperate situation, and the power of personal thinking is fully stimulated, becoming extremely domineering and ferocious. Therefore, it takes longer and longer to occupy other people's brains than before. smoothly.

"Old Zheng! Hurry up!" Xie Qingcheng tried his best to suppress Duan Cuizhen with blood gu, but obviously, he could hardly restrain this lunatic...

The battle situation became more and more chaotic. Zheng Jingfeng couldn't shoot in this situation where it was extremely easy to accidentally injure, so he had to grab a military dagger and pounce on it. This time, the target was Duan Wen's brain.

Clang!

At this last moment, Duan Cuizhen broke free from the blood gu completely, held a section of broken alloy steel pipe from the side, crossed it, and blocked Zheng Jingfeng's attack!

Alloy steel pipes and military daggers rubbed dazzling metal sparks.

The bright knife light reflected in the eyes of the two men.

Duan Wen stared at Zheng Jingfeng from behind the steel pipe, and flashed a sneer that belonged to Duan Cuizhen towards the other party—the two fought, fighting in close combat!

When it comes to close combat, Zheng Jingfeng was the number one in the police academy back then. Although he is old now and his strength is no longer what it used to be, he has rich experience. It is expected that Duan Cuizhen and Duan Wen will not be his opponent.

But after dismantling more than a dozen moves, Zheng Jingfeng became more and more frightened, because he found that no matter how he made a move, Duan Wen seemed to know it in advance.

"Who the hell are you..." Zheng Jingfeng asked, "Who the hell are you?!!"

Duan Cuizhen just smiled and didn't answer.

Xie Qingcheng thumped in his heart. Thinking of this, he hadn't let the cook tell Zheng Jingfeng in advance, and immediately shouted: "Old Zheng! Don't use the fighting skills you taught your apprentice before! He is Chen Lisheng!"

Zheng Jingfeng: "!!!"

"Duan Wen is Chen Lisheng!!" Xie Qingcheng yelled in the melee, "Duan Cuizhen occupies his mind, she can share his memory!!"

Zheng Jingfeng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. At this moment, he seemed to understand everything...

Duan Wen, it's Chen Lisheng...

He is Xie Ping's apprentice.

His old classmate Xie Ping had passed on all his experience to this young man unreservedly for so many years, taught him so earnestly, and instructed him so responsibly.

Because Xie Ping's own fighting ability is not the best, in order to make Chen Lisheng Qing out of Lan and better than Lan, he once stuffed Zheng Jingfeng with a bag of Soft China, and privately asked Zheng Jingfeng to take him more.

Zheng Jingfeng still remembers how he and Xie Ping teased that afternoon.

-

"Your own apprentice wants me to take it?"

"You fight better than everyone else, take away the cigarettes, and people will teach you well."

"Why, he didn't call me Master."

"Old Zheng...why are you still here with me? Yours and mine are fucked. Hurry up and take the cigarettes away. If you don't take them away, I'll send them to the director!"

"Stop! Bring it here! Really, how can you teach an apprentice like teaching a son..."

Zheng Jingfeng's eyes were filled with tears instantly.

He let out a roar that could be heard almost throughout the crypt: "Chen Lisheng! How could you? Ah?! How could you!!!"

Back then, he was entrusted by an old friend, and he taught Chen Lisheng everything he could. No wonder Duan Wen was able to react in the first time to many grappling moves, which were clearly created by him!

Zheng Jingfeng was heartbroken, and he punched the person in front of him like crazy, even though he knew that Duan Wen's consciousness was suppressed by Duan Cuizhen at this moment, and Duan Wen himself might not be able to hear it, but he still ignored it. Watching the beast scream and wrestle.

-

"Chen Lisheng, I'm your master's friend. He asked me to take care of you. From today onwards, you have to learn from me. I'm not just teaching everyone, understand?"

On a sunny day, Zheng Jingfeng patted Chen Lisheng on the shoulder and gave him a smirk.

Chen Lisheng: "Thank you Team Zheng, I understand."

Beside the flower bed, Xie Ping held a cup of hot tea and looked at it with a smile.

Tears flowed all over Lao Zheng's ravine face, he never thought...it was him!

It turned out to be him! !

"Left uppercut, yes, and then right kick, roundabout kick, the speed must be fast, otherwise others will react. Come, do it again."

The voice from that year seemed to be right next to his ears, mocking him, echoing like the aftermath of a nightmare.

Zheng Jingfeng's eyes were red, he was attacking with punches and kicks, he didn't allow anyone to take away his opponent - he had to kill him with his own hands -

Left uppercut, right kick...

He saw Duan Wen reacting - Duan Wen had already raised his defensive arm at the position of the roundabout kick...

Zheng Jingfeng's brown pupils sank, and the faces of Xie Ping and Zhou Muying flashed before his eyes. He saw the starry sky of the Golden Triangle more than 40 years ago, and he heard the three young men laughing loudly under the starry sky...

Zheng Jingfeng didn't kick round, he slammed his body straight over, and hit Duan Wen's arm that was ready to attack, it was very painful, very painful.

The breastbone seemed to be broken.

But at the same time, he also saw the fright in Duan Cuizhen's eyes!

It was an unexpected move by the other party...

Zheng Jingfeng didn't give the opponent a chance to fight back, only saw the cold light of the military dagger flash, and it was about to pierce Duan Wen's heart! !

poof-

It's Li Yun! !

At this critical juncture, Li Yun's reformer rushed out of the siege and flew over to snatch Zheng Jingfeng's dagger!

In the next second, the dagger's grip was out of control, and it stabbed straight into Li Yun's chest...

Too late to withdraw.

The dagger pierced in, and the blade disappeared in an instant! ! !

That is……

That was the same reaction as Xie Qingcheng's parents... Because these high-level reformers do retain a part of the thinking of living people, it is possible for them to act like living people.

Li Yun is instinctively protecting his classmates and friends.

That person, he thought, was only Chen Lisheng.

Almost at the same moment, due to the collision and struggle of several people, Li Yun broke a tall reactor behind him. There was an explosive warning sign on that reactor. Shakingly, it looked like it was about to fall down.

Xie Qing burst out with all kinds of powerful abilities. Although he is blind, he is sharper than a person who can see. He suddenly reacted and shouted at Zheng Jingfeng who was still standing there: "Old Zheng, stay away, you need to get out of the way!" exploded!"

Hot sweat was dripping on Zheng Jingfeng's face, he looked up and immediately came back to his senses, rolled up and ran in the opposite direction.

The "Duan Wen" under Li Yun's tight protection was actually Duan Cuizhen's consciousness. She also realized this, and started screaming to get out of Li Yun's arms.But Li Yun's desire to personally protect her comrades at the last moment was so strong that she couldn't break free all at once. Seeing the reaction device tilted down and was about to fall down completely, Duan Cuizhen screamed out.

"Let go of me! Let go of me! Let go—" the voice stopped abruptly.

In the next second, Duan Wen's eyes suddenly trembled, and there was his own light in the pupils again.

"boom!!!"

Like 20 years ago, Li Yun said: "Be careful!" Just like that, she stood in front of Duan Wen, facing Chen Lisheng, with her back facing the fallen heavy object.

There was a loud bang.

The device tower fell, hitting the iron pillars beside it in the process, the glass was shattered, and then the flames rolled up!

The explosion really happened...
