Chapter 772: The Seventy Year Itch
For the first time, Li Muyeping felt that his IQ was not enough.
A few wires and a tube, a dead man's head in an incubator, sat next to the supercomputer in the control center on the ninth floor. There was no hair on his head, and he was bare and round like a ridiculous ostrich egg. But it is this ostrich egg, which holds the world's deepest secrets, the most advanced science and technology, controls the operation of the entire nine floors of the dungeon, and influences the changes in the world pattern behind the Western world.
Patton walked into the control center with a large number of followers and came to Schroeder, full of ambition and high spirits.
"My old friend, after so many years of looking forward to seeing you again. Barton's uncharacteristically disposed of a smug expression and said, "You don't look good?"
"How bad could I be?" a young, mechanical voice echoed through the space.
The dead man's eyes turned to Barton, and then to the others behind him, and said, "You are all here, it seems that today is my last day here." ”
Barton walked over to Schroeder in the box and said: "Why be so pessimistic, you still have the value of living, just as you need me, I also need you, as long as you want, we can get along for another hundred years in another way." ”
"Jason Barton Fickley, my old friend, there is no next hundred years, it's time to say goodbye. Schroeder said: "Although this is cruel and heartbreaking, it is a biological law that you and I cannot resist." ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about. The smug look on Barton's face was much less, such Schroeder completely exceeded his expectations, and his expected lifelong enemy should be an unyielding fighter, only then can he enjoy the joy of successfully turning the tables at this moment. He exclaimed angrily, "Hey, bastard, you're a man known as the Bavarian bison, who will show his blood-stained horns even if he dies, what are you now? Are you wagging your tail and begging for mercy with your old rival?"
"No, no, no!" Schroeder in the box said in a voice through the computer, "My old friend, you have misunderstood what I meant, how can I wag my tail and beg for mercy to you? ”
The young voice continued to echo: "I've waited so long, finally this moment, of course to enjoy the moment. ”
"That's what it sounds like. Barton took a deep breath and said, "You just said the word enjoyment, I completely agree, the breath here is really intoxicating." ”
"You've been with me for a hundred years, like an oil thief, stealing so many resources from the Potential Development Center, will you still feel unfamiliar with the breath here?" Schroeder said: "Old friend, you don't seem to be taking good care of yourself. He stared at Barton's majestic god-like body with a greedy glint in his eyes, and continued, "I envy you for having a big heart, and I feel terrible. ”
"You're trapped in this box, I'm trapped in a bigger box, you and I have both lost our freedom, believe me, I've felt just as bad as you have all these years. Barton suddenly felt a desire to talk a few words. He continued: "I still remember the bells of London and the morning fog on the Thames, the smell of burning coal wafting through the air, and the Chinese with long pigtails working from morning to night on the docks for a penny, like tireless cattle and horses, when I was free and did whatever I wanted. ”
"No, my old friend, I think the opposite of you, my understanding of freedom is that freedom is not about doing what you want, and you can do nothing if you don't want to do it. "I never felt like I had lost my freedom, because I had all the power to choose what I didn't want to do," Schroeder said. ”
"It seems that we are still the same, always going the other way. Barton said slowly: "The difference is that in the past, the right to speak was in your hands, and everything you said was the truth, but in the future, only my words will be the truth." ”
"You're still so obsessed with power and power. Schroeder said: "A genius is a person who can create his own laws, and he does not need the approval and awe of others at all." ”
"So, even at this moment, you still think I'm inferior to you?" Barton said, gasping for breath, suppressing the urge to crush the box.
Schroeder said calmly: "You are an outstanding person, not only have mastered the mystery of the self-evolution of life, but also learned the technology of scientific evolution, have the most perfect body, and there are some people who worship and follow, this is of course a great achievement, but you are still far from the genius level." ”
"Even if I'm a fool, at this moment, I'm a fool who can kill you at any time. Barton stopped arguing with him and walked over to grab the box with both hands.
"Since you are obsessed, as an old friend, I have no choice but to give you my last advice. Schroeder said, "Let's end it!"
There was a buzz, and there was a sudden shock in the entire space.
Li Muye suddenly felt his qi and blood surge, and his body temperature increased sharply while his body was shaking. The other modders fell to the ground in agony, except for Barton, his red face turning white, and the hand that reached out to grab the box stood motionless.
That special program dedicated to transhumanizers was launched.
"Quick, kill him, close the program!" Barton ordered Taeko Kazama.
Taeko Kazama stood still, and beside her, Abe Haruka ripped off the mask on her head to reveal her true face.
"Why is this happening?" said Barton, still unwillingly.
"Mr. Barton, I'm afraid we're going to disappoint you. Taeko Kazama said, "Those warriors who were loyal to you are dead, and we have long since chosen to serve the great Mr. Schroeder." After she finished speaking, she turned her face to look at Li Muye, not so much apologetic as proud, and said, "Makino-kun, please forgive me for deceiving you again." ”
Li Muye pressed his hand to his chest, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and he smiled bitterly: "You are really worthy of this vixen's face." ”
"I'm just a woman who doesn't take her own breath and obeys others. Taeko Kazama lowered her head and didn't look at Li Muye, and then stepped aside.
"Pardon, my old friend, Barton, I must make clear to you that this was not a vile betrayal, and that Mr. Schroeder is a great genius who chose me many years ago as the executor of this hour. ”
Abe Qingtian stepped forward and said: "Li Muye, thank you for your help, but unfortunately you and I are natural enemies, otherwise we should have become friends, I have never seen a character like you, in my opinion, you are a real demon king of the mixed world, a great genius, a Chinese, in a place like the dungeon can come here in such a short world, I have to admit that compared to you and me, you are the real genius." ”
"As a winner, you can certainly praise the loser. Li Muye shook his body and said: "And as a loser, in the end, only dignity remains, and it is precisely his dignity that is the most useless, Abe Clear Sky, you have already won, why don't you come over and take my head now?"
"In that case, then thank you for not being sensitive!"
The sword flashed, and the head of the big man flew up with blood!
