Do androids dream of the sun?

The last fire really made Lance very angry.His face is sickly, his lips are paler than the last time we met, his body is weak, like a leaf that is blown away by the wind, coughing twice at every turn, it makes people jump with fear, fearing that he will faint in a second.

He ordered Lili to move a chair and put it beside the bed, motioned Zhong Ziyang to sit down, covered himself with a thin blanket, and said slowly, "Ziyang, how are you and Xiao Le doing?"

Zhong Ziyang's mind was full of that photo, and he was a little absent-minded at first, but when he heard it now, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he quickly regained his energy.Lance saw his prickly appearance all of a sudden, found it a little funny, and couldn't help laughing softly: "Don't be nervous, I didn't want to do anything, just ask."

"...Oh, we're all fine." Zhong Ziyang replied, but his whole body was still like a little hedgehog, showing nervousness and defensiveness all over his body.

Lance looked at it with interest for a while, and then said in a gentle voice: "That's good. I was too impulsive last time and misunderstood. I wanted to apologize to you, but I couldn't make time later, I'm sorry. "

It's okay not to mention this matter, but Zhong Ziyang still felt a little uncomfortable when he wanted to mention it, but seeing Lance's sickly look, he couldn't say anything serious, so he said: "It's okay, it's been so long. "

Lance curled the corner of his mouth, said "um" in a low voice, and changed the topic: "Ziyang, did you come to me today to ask for leave?"

Seeing that Lance really didn't intend to grab Xiao Le, Zhong Ziyang gradually calmed down, and obediently held the water glass with both hands: "Well, that's right."

Zhong Ziyang specially applied for a one-month vacation this time in order to save enough time.Logically speaking, as Botts' genetic designer, the company didn't have many regulations on him, and there are no new research plans recently, so it shouldn't be difficult to get approved.

But the problem lies in the research that Lance gave him.

Lance looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was very anxious.He had already suffered enough to wait, but now Zhong Ziyang suddenly asked for a month's leave, and the application was naturally stopped by him without hesitation.

"One month is long or short." Lance took a sip from the water glass next to him, "Ziyang, can you explain to me the reason for asking for leave?"

He used a question, but his tone was involuntary.

Zhong Ziyang answered simply: "Research and study." He also filled in the application form for this reason.

Lance looked at him and asked, "What research? What to study?"

"Of course it's about your research." Zhong Ziyang knew that he wanted to get to the bottom of it, and he had already prepared his speech. "Recently, the progress has been a bit slow, mainly because of the problem of the memory area. Considering that it will cooperate with memory implantation in the future, I specially went to Visited Mr. Master. Oh, don't worry, I didn't reveal the inside story of the research."

Lance also knew about Zhong Ziyang's recent meeting with Master. He raised his eyebrows: "What did Mr. Master say?"

"He said a lot, most of which I didn't understand. The main point was probably that it is difficult to completely imitate the human brain to store memories. Mr. Master also showed me a lot of information, but it was too complicated... After all, every line is like a mountain." Zhong Ziyang sighed, "Finally, Mr. Master suggested to me that if I really want to be perfect, I'd better learn some professional knowledge first."

Lance lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Indeed, I remember that Louis was also very proficient in the field of bionic memory."

"Really?" Zhong Ziyang's eyes sparkled, "Then I have to study harder!"

"But... Ziyang, with your intelligence, you need to study for a month?"

"Moreover, Mr. Master is no longer accepting apprentices, and his body needs to recuperate. I can't bother him all the time. I can only learn from Ning Qi. It's just that he is in the research period recently and often travels. One month, I will definitely follow." Zhong Ziyang looked helpless, "This major is easy to learn but difficult to master, since I want to learn, then I have to study hard, right?"

After Zhong Ziyang finished speaking, the room was completely silent.Lance didn't speak, but just smiled lightly, seeing Zhong Ziyang's back getting chills, thinking that he had just said something wrong, but he didn't dare to make up for it, worried that the more he said, the more wrong he would be.

After a while, Lance finally said, "You're right."

Zhong Ziyang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Lance put the already cold water glass on the bedside table, the sound of the glass colliding with the table was like knocking on Zhong Ziyang's heart.He turned his head and said slowly: "So, Ziyang, in the next month, you must study hard."

"I want him to be perfect."

Lance re-read the word "perfect".Zhong Ziyang heard him emphasize this more than once, but he still couldn't figure it out.

To what extent does a bionic person have to resemble a human being to be considered perfect?Wouldn't it be enough to fool the Nelson test?

"Ziyang, it's not enough just to look like it."

Zhong Ziyang was startled, and found that he had accidentally asked the question in his heart just now.

"A perfect bionic person should be no different from a human from the inside out, not only to have feelings, but also to have thoughts. In this world, no one can see that he is a bionic person except his creator. It’s not like this rose, no matter how much it looks like, it also smells disgustingly plastic inside.”

Lance slowly pulled out the artificial rose from the vase, and using a little force with his pale and slender fingertips, he tore off the bright red soft petals.They were scattered messily on the snow-white bed, which was lined like fire and blood.

Zhong Ziyang pursed his lips tightly, his eyes fell on the bare rose stem, and his heart was shocked.

He finally realized that what Lance wanted to create was not a bionic man at all, but a brand new life, a life with advanced intelligence.

What exactly is he trying to do?Create an army that can only be used by him?Or do you want to be the master of new life?

Zhong Ziyang thought of the Apollo [-] that Lance had mentioned. There is no doubt that he, who was recognized by Lance, should belong to the "perfect".So after the fire, will he, whose whereabouts are unknown, live somewhere in Noah City as a human being?And in Xiao Le's unrecovered memory, is there his whereabouts?

Lance's voice brought him back to reality from his contemplation. Zhong Ziyang raised his eyes and found that Lance was looking at himself with a half-smile: "Ziyang, do you understand what I said?"

Zhong Ziyang bit his lip and replied, "Yes."

"I look forward to seeing you complete that day." Lance said with a satisfied expression, "Don't let me down."

Zhong Ziyang didn't sit for a long time, and was soon ordered to be kicked out by Lance. Before he walked out of the bedroom, he couldn't help but look back. Lance was looking at him with a golden photo frame, and his expression was extraordinarily gentle. It was the real tenderness that made him soft and warm.

Such a Lance is even rarer than the antiques displayed at the door.He sat there quietly, put away his hostility, like a white hibiscus blooming silently, it was unforgettable at a glance.

Zhong Ziyang's mind was full of the scene just now, and he didn't regain his senses until the phone rang.He made a gesture to Lily to stop, walked to the elevator entrance alone, and was about to connect, when the elevator door slowly opened with a "ding".

Zhong Ziyang raised his head and met Aaron's eyes, who seemed to be much more haggard than the last time they met.Not interested in staring at people, he nodded politely, passed Aaron, and stepped into the elevator.

Du Ningqi's voice came from the earphones, with a helpless and anxious tone: "Ziyang, are you back?"

"Hurry up." Zhong Ziyang said, "What a coincidence, I just happened to want to find you too, Ning Qi."

Hearing this, the blond young man outside the elevator stopped and turned around quickly, but the elevator door was already closed.

Du Ningqi was surprised: "Look for me? Is it because Lance doesn't believe you and didn't approve your leave? I'll go tell him tomorrow..."

Zhong Ziyang hurriedly stopped him: "No, no, he approved it, and I want to ask you for another help, but there is no rush, you can talk first."

Du Ningqi was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Ziyang, I want to go to Area F with you, is that okay?"

Zhong Ziyang was taken aback.

Du Ningqi was also very helpless.

Last week, at the teacher's request, he went to the other party's house to have dinner together. Unexpectedly, when he entered the door, he found that everyone had come together.Not only Master is there, but the Burton family is also there.

When Aaron opened the door for himself, Du Ningqi really didn't want to recall how awkward the big eyes were to the small eyes.

This meal was full of discomfort. At that time, Du Ningqi only wanted to finish his meal and say goodbye. He never expected that even more terrible things were to come.

When everyone was chatting after eating and he was serving tea for the teacher, Aaron's father suddenly took out a valuable box and put it in his hand, and said with a smile: "We will be a family in the future, so I will give this to you as a gift." .”

Du Ningqi:? ? ? ? ?

With a dazed expression on his face, he looked back at Master and found that the teacher was frowning with a worried expression on his face.

The person with the darkest face in the audience was probably Aaron who was sitting on the single sofa.

Old Burton realized that he might have said something wrong, so he fell silent for a moment.Aaron's mother also felt that something was wrong, and leaned close to Master to mutter a few words, Master nodded slowly, and her expression became subtle.

The living room was silent, and the air was full of embarrassment.

In the end, it was Master who spoke first, calling Du Ningqi into the study, and had a long talk for an hour.Only then did Du Ningqi know that his teacher wanted to recognize him as his son.

Du Ningqi has always treated Master as his elder, and never thought that the other party would propose to join Eugene's family. This is undoubtedly very touching for him who has never experienced family.However, under the warmth of home and the temptation of countless materials, Du Ningqi still did not choose to sign immediately, but said that he would go back and think about it.

Du Ningqi knew that if he signed, in a way, he would be considered to be on the boat of the Burton family.What the old Burton did today, he couldn't tell whether he really didn't know that Master hadn't spoken to him, or he didn't know that he didn't know, and he did it on purpose so that the teacher could bring it up to him.

Taking another [-] steps back, there is actually a little reason related to Aaron-I became the uncle of my ex-boyfriend, what is this? !

Du Ningqi thought about it for a week based on the principle of procrastinating and not procrastinating.As a result, the two Burtons were impatient than his teacher, and invited him to dinner every now and then, visited him, and even found the research center.

Du Ningqi knew what they were afraid of. What they were afraid of was that he would get too close to Zhong Ziyang and be taken away by Lance first.After all, no one in District A knows that Zhong Ziyang is a celebrity before Lance.

He couldn't explain to them bluntly that Zhong Ziyang really didn't have that kind of thought, and it was hard to push him because of the other party's face. He was so annoying every day, so he could only ask Ziyang to take him for a ride to avoid the limelight.In any case, they can't catch up to the F area.

What's more, he was already very interested in Shen Zhang's memory surgery.

After listening to the cause and effect, Zhong Ziyang stood silent for a while at the door of Bocis headquarters, and said, "You rich people... it's so complicated."

Du Ningqi: "..."

Who is richer between the two? ?
