When the law of conservation of isolation is broken

"But I'm not reconciled. I love my children too much. I must do something to save them, even if it is trivial and ridiculous. Finally I figured it out. I proposed to Mars the idea of ​​training at the Mars base. I took care of them in those years, and my excuse was that I was very familiar with their structure and way of life, so I could cultivate them better." Fan Liu seemed to have forgotten that Zhang Luotuo was present, and he held the steering wheel, facing the gray sky He said to himself, "But my real purpose is to let them discover something in my relationship with them, and then understand their own destiny, and wake up: they never belonged to Mars, nor did they belong to anyone, but It belongs to me, and going to Earth is a hoax—a death hoax, a fearless and despicable sacrifice.”

"But I thought it was too easy. Mars agreed with me to work in the Mars base, and I slipped in smoothly. However, when I got along with them, I discovered that the ideas that Mars had instilled in them for more than ten years had imprisoned their minds. Mind, and human inertia cannot be untied for a while. Besides, I dare not blatantly tell them everything, I can only hint at the situation they may encounter, but they either don’t understand or don’t believe it. And Mars is in the base Watching everyone all the time, I can only bring it up and shut up. I work as a trainer in it, while continuing to carry the responsibility of manufacturing, I have spent year after year, but apart from age and ever-changing I got nothing but technology."

He showed an expression that was almost obsessed, and didn't notice what Zhang Luotuo was doing: "The children I made are becoming more and more perfect under the impetus of technological waves, and because of this, I love them more and more. When they When I came to the Mars base, I would be ecstatic, quietly watching their faces and behaviors, but I knew the parting would be extremely painful. So I thought of another way-I applied to Mars for me to be a liaison between Earth and Mars As for activities, I have worked in the Mars base for too many years, and they immediately believed me and handed over the work to me. Only I know that I am lurking, and no one will suspect me, because I hide very well."

Fan Liu coughed and turned his head slightly. Zhang Luotuo immediately stopped glancing at the rope. He kept trying to find out the weakness of the rope.

"At the same time, I did another thing." Fan Liu continued, and Zhang Luotuo noticed that Fan Liu's tone was a little reserved and proud, "I found that it was not enough to hint to them that something might happen, something had to be The facts were in front of them, so I made a very risky move. You know what happens to the management department who has spent four years on the earth and is preparing to return, right?" He gave Zhang Luotuo a look.

Zhang Luotuo remembered, of course he remembered, what he saw in the game hall would never be forgotten.

"Children on Earth do their jobs thinking they're going back to Mars, they're brought into rooms with the excuse of having surgery they're actually murdered, Mars doesn't want them to go back at all, they just want to use them, as for their The end, that doesn't matter at all. And when they are operated on, on Mars, the base monitors them in real time, watching the operation until it is completed, because Mars wants to confirm whether they are really dead, so as not to cause trouble. Then they will store the surveillance video in a confidential database, and I am also one of the supervisors... I try to be calm when I see my children die, even though I feel sad..." Fan Liu's tone became It was a bit difficult, as if thinking of the scene at that time, he shook his hand and brushed.He drove the spaceship through a gray fog.

"Did you know? I copied the monitoring into my own database while those people were not paying attention."

Zhang Luotuo frowned, and he continued to listen silently.

Fan Liu continued: "As a member of the Mars base, I am not only responsible for taking care of them, but also helping with some chores, for example... You know they are going to travel from Mars to Earth in a spaceship, right? When they take a spaceship During the period from Mars to Earth, they must sleep, because they cannot know the route to Earth, Mars considers that they may want to sneak back to Mars, or change the original route midway. In order to prevent them from waking up from sleep , Mars prepares a chip implanted in their sleep—it’s equivalent to implanting a dream, and they will have this dream until the spacecraft reaches its destination and the chip stops working—and I am responsible for preparing them when they take the spacecraft to Earth. Chips that need to be watched."

"So you took the opportunity to implant those surveillance chips into the chip?" Zhang Luotuo answered, suddenly realizing.

Fan Liu nodded, his tone was very peaceful: "It's easy for you to say...but the process is actually very difficult. I can't let Mars find out that I have implanted redundant content in the chip, and I have to ensure that the technology is qualified-but in short , and finally I succeeded with difficulty. I passed the truth of the matter, that is, the real-time monitoring of those images into the chip. Then I randomly placed the chip on the seat of the spaceship to see who would dream of this. The truth of the truth, completely pure and unmodified, it is hidden in the dream. I want to see who will notice that something is wrong in that dream, and then notice, and then find something is wrong, and then investigate and find out the truth—— But the first time, the second time, total failure, no one noticed... no one, maybe there was, but they didn't mention it, lived on earth as usual, and got killed, countless times, without any There are signs of awakening. Until this time, Lu Xing—"

"At first I didn't know he knew. But I noticed that something was wrong when he got off the spaceship, but that feeling passed away. Until the subsequent events happened one by one. He is very good with someone in your company, I know, it is the one called Zeng Lin's. They are like a pair of friends. After Zeng Lin died, he became depressed, and then he was no longer the same to the people in the company. I noticed something at the time, but I was not sure." Fan Liu Caught in memories, stories that have long faded.

"Until he came to me, took wine and tried to trick me-asked me about the previous management departments. At that time, I was already a little discouraged. When I heard his question, I couldn't believe it. Ears. I didn't expect the awakening seeds I hoped to sprout." Fan Liu glanced at Zhang Luotuo, his brows loosened, and he even showed a smile of surprise at the beginning, although the smile was immediately retracted, "However, it didn't happen. In a few days, he began to give up on himself, maybe he couldn't accept the fact, the reality was too heavy... I thought I was going to fail again this time—maybe I would fail again. What I didn't expect was that Joad, Joad There's been a change."

"He was the most impossible one in my opinion, because he is too perfect, he is a product I made completely according to Mars standards, ruthless, DNA, skin material, etc., he is almost the limit of what I can accomplish ...do you know how long it took me to build his model? A whole month..."

Zhang Luotuo finally noticed something was wrong from Fan Liu's words, something that had been faintly present since just now.Fan Liu was talking about Qiao De, but he was not talking about a person, but a work, an item he was proud of.Fan Liu's tone of voice - he remembered, what reminded him was the department of Eleven Company.

He frowned, the name of that department swam in his paralyzed nerves, and sank deep again.

He thought of Li Xiangxiang.

He didn't know why he thought of her.

Fan Liu noticed his slight movements, and stopped meaningfully: "There must be something in my words that you can't understand, or even confused, I can see that." He stretched out his hand and patted With Zhang Luotuo's tied hands, the words sounded quite meaningful, "Sometimes I think you are a bit like him... But you know, you are different after all, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, you may not understand until a long time later, But if you don’t understand some of what I’m saying, it’s also good for you.”

Zhang Luotuo tried to avoid his touch in disgust, but his hand refused to move. He watched Fan Liu grab his finger and looked at his fingerprints coldly.

"It's a bit rough, isn't it? And that's the biggest difference between you and Joad. He's made so perfectly, he almost completely meets the standards of Mars: cold, impersonal, and absolutely loyal." Fan Liu's tone was kind, But his words were extremely cold, "Because of this, I have always felt that he is the one who has the least hope of awakening, even though I love him the most and love this child. But what I didn't expect was that he changed, and it was because of me The unexpected factor—that is, you."

Zhang Luotuo was stunned.Fan Liu looked at his reaction tremblingly: "You and him have an unusual relationship, aren't you?" He didn't wait for Zhang Luotuo to deny or admit, "I can see that he has gradually become different. I knew it once when I brought you to my place. He talked to me anxiously, and wanted to see if you were an imitation human? At that time, I was stunned by his absurd idea. Of course you are an imitation human. Why? Maybe not? I can tell at a glance. Your skin is made, your nerves are constructed, the way your bones are built...these things are so obvious that I don't know how to answer him, and finally I did it for you to reassure him Test, prove to him that you are a counterfeit person. I thought it would stop here, but he didn’t, he still met with you, even became confused by you, and started to investigate you in private, I was shocked when Zhao Yi told me.”

"His changes are so obvious that even other people noticed it...Zhao Yi cried to me many times, and even asked me if I wanted to report to Mars, but I stopped her." Fan Liu knocked on the steering wheel, "You know why ?"

With a hoarse voice, Zhang Luotuo felt that he knew the answer to Fan Liu's riddle: "...Because this might be a good opportunity for Qiao De to awaken?"

Fan Liu smiled with satisfaction, and he nodded: "Sometimes you are also very smart. But I didn't expect you to have such a great influence on him, and his changes were beyond my expectation. I was secretly observing you, and even contributed to the flames. , but his progress is still far beyond my expectations. I never imagined that one day, it was Joad who was the first to set foot on the distance with his companions. Last month, last month he brought you to me, Want to get drunk and ask me about the loopholes in the city's procedures, you have no idea how happy and proud I am that my child has grown up, and he saw through the traps of Mars."

Fan Liu's tone was very proud, he spoke in an almost drunken tone: "They are my good boys...my good boys...so of course I will tell them all the truth and help them escape ’” He kept repeating this, falling into ego-only joy.

Taking advantage of Fan Liu's intoxication, Zhang Luotuo glanced at the glass window with difficulty, and he saw gray fog gathering in the gray sky.Fan Liu didn't know where he was going, he couldn't see the city below.

Feishan Cemetery.His heart sank.Was Joad already there?He thought, would he still have time to get there?

"Don't even think about going there." Fan Liu's voice suddenly sounded.Zhang Luotuo moved his eyes and leaned against the cold glass window.Fan Liuzheng looked at him with great interest, and noticed his peeking, "Your task is over here."

"...What do you mean?" Zhang Luotuo said with difficulty.

"I said, I'm here to stop you." Fan Liu said to him calmly, like a vexatious little boy, "I won't let you with them. I hope they, my children, can escape Just because you're out of this city doesn't mean I want you to be out, too. After all, it's your destiny to be here, but they're not. Sorry, I'm a selfish father."

Zhang Luotuo smiled helplessly. It wasn't even a smile. He just twitched the corners of his lips, and his muscles immediately returned to dead silence. His voice trembled: "It's ridiculous."

Fan Liu directly ignored his words: "I am grateful to you for awakening Joad and making him come to this point. But you have come to this point. According to our era, you are a supporting role in the newly emerging pixel game , to discover something that causes the protagonist to reflect—such as discovering R-63 and realizing that he is being monitored.”

Zhang Luotuo's head buzzed, and he said in disbelief, "How do you know about this?"

Fan Liu glanced at him with interest, and didn't seem to be moved by his reaction: "I don't think you can remember, but it's okay if I tell you. One day, you suddenly received a call from a friend in your company , you went to her place, but didn't find her, only saw an R-63 flying around outside the window?"

That scene, that R-63.Zhang Luotuo stood in front of Zheng Zheng's desk, facing the flying bibliographies, and stared at each other with R-63 in the air in the imitation human department who lost his illusion.

He suddenly understood, and his whole body was cold: "Is that the call from you?"

Fan Liu didn't nod or shake his head, but the complacency in his tone couldn't be more obvious: "I made the call, and I also arranged for that strange R-63. I got the inspiration from what happened to Zeng Lin, I wanted to try it on you, but I didn't expect it to have such a big effect."

He paused for a moment and smiled: "In short, your only role is to help the protagonist. Now that your mission is completed, it's time to exit. Of course, I am not so cruel, such as killing you, which is inhumane. I just will Trapped you on the spaceship until they finish everything and escape the city. After all, they can't wait for you, they have to hurry up and complete the task, otherwise it is a waste of time. I will put you off the spaceship. "

Zhang Luotuo shook his head. He took a breath, desperately thinking about the idea of ​​confrontation, so as not to let himself fall into the trap of depression, "Your prosthetic body manipulation is only an hour and a half long." He pointed this out tit for tat.He remembered this, Joad had told him.

Fan Liu opened his eyes slightly in surprise: "He even told you this?" He rubbed his brows as if troubled, then raised his head and waved his hands, "But it doesn't matter, the medicine I gave you has nine hours to work. For nine hours, you can't do anything except think, and you can only move your body after nine hours."

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Luotuo blinked and took a breath. He shook his head with difficulty and fell on the seat.

He stared blankly at the casing of the human navigator.

The small LED light above flashed in front of his eyes, a green light.

He blinked, it was like an illusion.

No sound.
