Of course, Chen Mo wouldn't really consider performing shirtless at the New Year's Day party, he only felt that even the roots of his teeth were hurting now.

That night, there was a heated discussion in the 206 dormitory about the "broken boulder in the chest", but Wang Fatzi disagreed, thinking that Chen Mo still had the conditions to perform other programs - he said that it was also very good to stab the throat with a steel gun.

A bunch of guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic all laughed like crazy.

After the lights went out, Chen Mo tossed and turned over in bed, and the experience of working outside all the year round made him rarely nervous about anything, but this time was obviously different. On New Year's Day last year, several programs reported by the class were killed, and later I learned that due to fierce competition, the performance share of the poor student class was replaced by other classes. Although Lao Tang didn't say anything on the surface, he seemed to be dozens of years older in those days, and the whole class was quite uncomfortable in their eyes.

Old Don is a good man. At the beginning of this semester, Chen Mo paid the tuition fees for himself and his sister, and he was financially stretched, and he also invited Chen Mo to eat for more than a week. After that, Chen Mo always wanted to repay him for this favor, but every time he took out the meal ticket, Lao Tang always smiled and shook his hand, saying that the teacher had a meal subsidy, which was nothing.

At this New Year's Day party, except for Chen Mo being designated by the school, there are still no other programs to be played in Class 4 of the second year of high school. Chen Mo knew what this quota meant to Lao Tang, and if it was possible, he really wanted to help him fight for face.

But what to do now?

Chen Mo touched the gloves hidden close to him in the quilt and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It can help itself for a while, but it can't help for a lifetime, the New Year's Day scandal is decided, and I'm afraid that it will have to affect the old Tang when the time comes......

After falling asleep unconsciously, and I don't know how long it took, he suddenly heard a rather familiar voice: "Last time we said, the most important thing is the degree of integration between you and the gloves. ”

"You're you again?" Chen Mo looked at the other party and was stunned.

The old man in the white coat who had appeared in the dream last time stood in front of him again. After Chen Mo fought with the gangsters that day, he had a lot of strange dreams at night, but he was the only one who was deeply impressed by this strange old man. He still remembered what the old man said about gloves that were half-finished products, and that people were hosts, and that they looked like magic sticks.

The old man was indeed outrageous in his appearance, with his hair messy as weeds, a pair of tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose, and two huge dark circles under his eyes. He was skinny and skinny, and he stood there like a big-headed compass, without the slightest breath of flesh and blood.

"I'm the inventor of this glove, and now I'm using a virtual program instead of myself to communicate with you." The old man said solemnly.

Chen Mo was a little curious, and immediately asked, "Inventor?" Did you send the gloves? ”

"Yes, the recipient doesn't exist at all, I'm picking random test subjects."

Chen Mo knew that he had been busy for a long time, but he was being played, and he couldn't help frowning, "Then tell me, what is the use of gloves, they can't be made just for fighting, right?" ”

"Seamless fiber weaving, polyurethane coating, 70% super-linear magnetoresistance, and multi-point implantation of the Ares robot - this pair of boxing gloves is the highest masterpiece of genetic engineering and microelectronics technology, which can stimulate the potential of the human body, and the biggest purpose of developing it is indeed to fight." The old man smiled proudly, and finally added, "The only pity is that it can only be considered a half-finished product. ”

Chen Mo was a little frightened by his professional posture, and felt that any genes and potentials were full of high-tech flavor.

"What robots are you talking about?" He asked dumbfounded like a hillbilly.

"Ares Robotics, nanoscale, cutting-edge programming in molecular bionics. They use the glove as a temporary survival platform, and when they are completely transferred to your body, the entire core component is equivalent to becoming one with you, and the glove is useless. The old man said.

Chen Mo subconsciously raised his hand and took a closer look.

"Even if you're not dreaming, you can't see it." The old man said lightly, "You are eighteen years old this year, your blood type is type A, you have no family genetic history, and your body functions are good, so you can be regarded as a qualified test subject." I am very satisfied and hope that we can work together well in the future. ”

The other party's Frankenstein-like image made Chen Mo a little uneasy, and as soon as these words came out, he was even more confused, "How do you know my blood type?" What do we work with? ”

"Now that 30% of the Ares robots have entered your body, I naturally know a lot about you......" The old man suddenly stopped, "Someone called you, let's talk next time!" ”

"Chen Mo, I'm going to be late!" Wang Wei yelled and kicked the foot of the bed.

Chen Mo woke up suddenly, thinking of the scene in his dream, he couldn't help but be stunned for a long time, but then found that he didn't know when the gloves had been put on his hands.

"Is the virtual program so good?" Chen Mo thought about it for a long time, and felt that he probably had read too many novels, not only dreaming, but also sleepwalking.

Lao Tang found a kick field during the afternoon physical education class, called Chen Mo to the office, and poured him a glass of water, "I heard that the show is not ready yet?" Isn't it stressful? ”

"Teacher Tang, I don't know anything, or don't embarrass you!" Chen Mo was worried when he mentioned this.

"How's that going to work! If you were on the battlefield, wouldn't you be a deserter? Old Tang looked kind, "What did the classmates say, did they help you come up with ideas?" ”

"Those guys made me break a boulder in my chest!" Chen Mo was embarrassed.

Old Tang was stunned, couldn't help laughing, and laughed, "What nonsense......" He hesitated slightly, his gray brows gradually stretched, "If you really don't have any plans, I have an idea." ”

Watching Lao Tang take out a coarse cloth package from under the table, Chen Mo couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's been with me for years." When Old Tang took out the small marionette, his expression was quite emotional, "I also performed at the party, and I was about the same age as you at that time." ”

Puppet show, also called puppet show in ancient times. The marionette is decorated with silk threads on the joints such as the head, back, abdomen, arms, fingers, etc., and the actor pulls the silk threads to make the puppet's movements. Three minutes on stage and ten years of work off the stage, a seemingly simple process of indulgence, in fact, requires extremely complicated techniques. Lao Tang's puppet has a total of 16 threads, the head of the puppet is carved from camphor wood, with internal organs and rich facial features. Chen Mo was taught by him for half an afternoon, and he only learned how to control the puppet to walk with his hands raised, and he did it very reluctantly, every time he carried the line and watched the puppet move stiffly there, he wished that he could get on its body.

"Teacher Tang, this thing is like a woman's embroidery, I can't learn it." Chen Mo was sweating profusely and wanted to give up a little.

"Nothing is impossible." Old Tang wiped his sweat, looked at him, and said word for word, "Teacher believes, you will definitely be able to." Not only for you, for me, but also for Class 4 of the second year of high school. Let the whole school know that we are not bad in any aspect. ”

At this moment, Chen Mo saw something completely strange in the eyes of the good old head teacher.

"I'll try." He replied.

Chen Mo rarely promises others anything, but as long as he opens his mouth, he will definitely do it. As the days passed, he also practiced privately with Lao Tang day by day, and after a long time, the two arms seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them.

Old Tang noticed that Chen Mo's spirit had not been very good, and he seemed to be lacking in sleep, but every time he asked, Chen Mo always said that he was fine.

"Last time we talked about DNA polymorphisms, the surname ......" After Chen Mo fell asleep that night, the old man in the white coat appeared in his dream as usual.

"your grandma's xx!" Chen Mo interrupted him with a roar, causing the virtual program to temporarily crash, "Can you let me sleep peacefully for a day?" Can?! Grass! Can't I stop my gloves? Are you Tang Seng? Isn't it tiring to talk so much nonsense? ”

From the initial laughter, to the doubt, to the final horror - Chen Mo has fully understood that this old guy, who appears more and more frequently, is really talking to his sleeping self in some way. Otherwise, how can anyone make a dream like a serial, continue like this episode, and remember yesterday's lines today?

"I'm not Tang Seng, my surname is Mo, and my name is Mo Wentian." The old man in the white coat muttered.

"Your name is Mo Youxiao**, and it's none of Lao Tzu's business!" Chen Mo was about to be driven crazy by him, explaining those genetic engineering and microelectronics knowledge again and again, whether he could understand it or not, whether he wanted to listen to it or not, and he also turned a deaf ear to any of his own problems, what is this not neurosis?

"This pair of gloves gives you unimaginable power, and it's not too much to take the time to listen to the fundamentals!" Old Man Mo frowned, looking puzzled, "Why is the young man so impetuous?" ”

"You've been nagging for more than half a month, is this called a little time? Do you have a phrase that goes to the key point? I still haven't figured out why I get dizzy after wearing gloves for a long time! Chen Mo continued to yell at him.

"Anyway, theoretical knowledge is really important."

"I'm too lazy to read, what kind of bullshit glove theory do I have to learn from you when I sleep? Learn to be a bird! ”

"Okay, then let's go straight to the practice phase." Old Man Mo was actually quite reasonable this time, "Actually, I've noticed a long time ago, your recent brainwave reaction is very interesting...... If you need it, I can help you get more dexterous with that marionette. ”

"How can I help?" Chen Mo was stunned.

"That's a help." Old Man Mo gave him a weird smile.

It was two o'clock in the morning.

The door of the 206 bedroom was half open, and the little four-eyed who had forgotten to wear glasses felt all the way back from the toilet, and the cold wind outside made him choking cold. Thinking of the "Exorcist" he watched on PSP before going to bed, he was somewhat trembling, and he was relieved until he closed the door of the dormitory.

By the light from the window, Xiao Siyan vaguely saw Chen Mo lifting the quilt and sitting up, estimating that he was probably going to the toilet, so he tiptoed over from behind, trying to scare him.

When he arrived, the little four-eyed "wow" screamed, followed by an octave higher and turned into a hysterical scream.

Even the little girl's anti-joint spider shape in "The Exorcist" is completely inferior to Chen Mo's horror at this moment. He sat on the bed, his eyes closed, his arms folded backwards at a suspected dislocated angle, pressed against his back, and his ten fingers were intertwined and rubbed against each other, making a fine "crackling" sound. He maintained this position that ordinary people could not make at all, for half a minute, like a warm-up under certain conditions, and then held the tail finger of his left hand with his right hand and pulled it back without hesitation.

"Ah!!h Two screams came out almost at the same time - Xiao Siyan was stunned on the spot, and Chen Mo woke up in pain.
