Four-Man Arc: Fierce Battle (1)
On an ordinary afternoon, it rained like never before. Strangely, the rain was not caused by the town's weather control system, but from nature, from an overwhelming dark cloud.
At this time, a certain corner of the town. Lazy was standing in front of the window, looking at the street that had been blurred by the rain, and his heart was as heavy as falling into a bottomless pit. Behind him, Gu Chengzi was still lying on the hospital bed, hanging on saline, unconscious.
It's been five days, and he still hasn't gotten better. A flash of lightning illuminated his dull eyes.
Laziness hung his head in frustration, feeling guilty: "Does God hate me so much......? Can anyone tell me? What should I do?"
At this moment, after the sound of "drip", the door of the ward opened. The expressions on the faces of the two people outside the door were already solemn enough, but when they saw the laziness standing in front of the window, their faces instantly became even more ugly. Between them, it has become so rigid that there is no simple greeting anymore.
Fu Hui and Diligent treated him like air, and walked straight to the bedside to check Gu Chengzi's condition. He was fine and his signs were normal. His body was as cold as ice to the touch, but his forehead was as hot as a pot of boiling hot water.
Fu Hui stroked his forehead with one hand and said worriedly, "Why is it still so hot? Is Brother Mo's medicine not working?"
Qin Qin shrugged his shoulders, took out a small mechanical device from his backpack, and placed it between Gu Chengzi's eyebrows. As soon as it touched his skin, it spread out to both ends and spread flat on his forehead.
This is a fever-reducing device specially developed by diligence for Gu Chengzi. Once attached to the forehead, it initiates a depyretic process on its own, absorbing the body's heat while releasing cooling gases. Unless it runs out of power, it can always help the body expel heat.
"Well, I hope it helps. Diligent sighed.
"It won't work. Lazy said coldly, "I've tried this trick a long time ago." ”
They turned their heads at the same time, glaring at him with a little anger in their eyes. Lazy quickly turned his head and pretended to look out the window.
Just when the atmosphere was about to freeze, the door of the ward opened again, and the only doctor in the town came in, his name was Mo Qingyan. Mo Qingyan held the tablet in his hand, calmly walked to the side of the bed, and checked the bag of saline on the bedside.
Sure enough, the bag was finished. So, he hurriedly called his subordinates and replaced them with a new bag of saline.
"I heard you're coming. Mo Qingyan said.
"Brother Mo, what is the situation with my brother, why does he keep having a high fever?" Furao asked worriedly.
Mo Qingyan pursed his lips and said solemnly: "This is not in line with the symptoms of fever, and physical cooling does not play any role." ”
"Really?" Diligent looked at the fever-reducing device on his forehead and said unwillingly, "Then what else can we do to help?"
"I'm afraid not. We still need to do some research on this situation. After all, his condition is too strange, and his body is normal except for the burning of his head. Until we find out what caused it, we dare not and cannot give him a drug injection. Mo Qingyan turned his head sideways, glanced at the silent laziness, and then continued, "So, when I heard that you were all here, I immediately put down what I was doing and rushed over." ”
Fleur frowned, and said anxiously, "Haven't figured out the reason yet?!It's been five days!"
Diligent cocking double
hand, said through gritted teeth. "Sister Fu, it's true that five days have passed, but some people don't come every day. ”
There was suddenly more gunpowder in the air, which made Mo Qingyan on the side smell the gossip and immediately became interested. He retreated slightly to the door, suppressing his excitement and making a serious look, actually peeking at each of them's reactions.
Hearing Qinqin say this, Fu Yuan remembered that it was laziness that sent Gu Chengzi to the clinic. And the silent laziness on the side, his heart was suddenly stunned, he knew very well that the reason why Gu Chengzi was lying here was inseparable from himself.
But if he tells the truth in full, it means that what he has hidden for so long, the results that he has worked so hard to have will be lost again. Diligence will definitely give away all the android bodies, and he will not let him go so easily. He wouldn't have watched his gains be taken away from him, and once it got to that point, everyone in the town was in danger.
"Lazy," shouted Fleur nervously, "you must know why!
Laziness was still on his back, but his expression was a little uncontrollable. He immediately took a deep breath and said coldly: "I don't know." When I found him, he was unconscious. ”
"I don't believe it! I watched him go out that day, obviously looking for you, how could he suddenly fall unconscious in the middle of the way! It must be because of you!"
"I repeat, it's none of my business!"
"You! It's in vain that my brother follows you every day, and it's all come to this point, and you still hide it! You're going to kill him like this!"
Laziness gritted his teeth and forced himself to confess. Gradually, he closed his eyes and kept admonishing himself with his mind: you can't say it, you must not say it.
After all, diligence is a lazy brother, and even if laziness turns his back to him, he can still conclude that he is indeed hiding something with just a small twitch. But he didn't question like Fu Yuan, but put one hand on Gu Chengzi's shoulder and said unhurriedly.
"Sister Fu, don't ask again. The city has its own life. ended up like this, and he can only be blamed for being too unlucky. He doesn't know people well, so I really pity him. ”
When Lazy heard this, he turned around like clockwork, trembling and trembling, glaring at Diligence. I saw him grit his teeth and open his lips slightly and say.
"Hmph, what a 'bad at knowing people'! If all the people in this world were good people like you, it would be very beautiful!"
"It's ridiculous, there is a balance between good and evil. There is as much good as there is evil, and vice versa!"
"Balance?!Who gave me balance?!!?!?!?
Mo Qingyan saw that the situation was a little out of control, so he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Quiet! Be quiet! Other patients also need to rest!" Then, he put down his hand again and peeked quietly.
Diligent stared at laziness and said calmly: "All along, everything is balanced! The respect and expectations of the townspeople for us are always the same! You can't blame others for not giving you balance because of your own reasons! It's you, you don't want it!"
Lazy punched the table next to him, pointed at diligence with one hand, and roared: "Nonsense! Do they still respect and expect from me? In the past two years, have they ever looked for me? Do they remember me? Which of the intelligent machines they use and the intelligent life they talk about are not given to them by me? In the end, when they talk about merit, they don't remember you alone!"
Diligent shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly and said, "Heh, that's really strange." If you
If you are willing to go out to greet applause and flowers, then you will be satisfied. But you didn't get it, it's not that others don't give it to you, it's that you yourself are too lazy to accept it!"
"No, no, no, I didn't bother to accept it! but from beginning to end, it was you! You stole all my light, took everything from me!"
With that, the lazy gaze bypassed diligence and focused on Fleur's face. Fu Wei shuddered, then turned her head and only looked at Gu Chengzi on the hospital bed.
When Mo Qingyan on the side saw this look, he couldn't help but gasp, endured his shock and excitement, and nodded slightly.
At this time, Diligent sighed and said helplessly: "Why do you think so? I just did what I had to do, and you?"
"I created it all! and I owe it to my head!"
"Yes, you did change the town. But you have to be clear, I also gave a lot!"
"You pay? You will always know 'stop'! This will not work, that will not work! If it weren't for you, this town could be better!"
"I'm protecting everyone from losing their value because of intelligent machines! If the town develops the way you think, 'The supremacy of intelligent machines', then people will be a heartbeat away from the stone statues that can't move. ”
Diligence and laziness glared at each other, and as before, their conversation stopped on the focused topic of "humanity". Lazy knows very well that once the word "human" is thrown out by diligence, if he continues to refute it, it will indirectly prove that diligence is right.
Lazy gritted his teeth, and after taking a deep breath, he choked up and said, "I tell you! I have nothing to hide! But I came today to say that you might as well check Chengzi's head, his consciousness activity!"
"What do you mean?" asked Diligent Diligence.
"I would say that there is only so much to it. With that, he walked to the door. But when he passed by Mo Qingyan's side, he stopped, only to see him slowly turn his head sideways and say, "I will never, and never look at you with the same gaze as theirs!"
Diligent replied without thinking: "You always feel that they look at you differently, it's because people don't know you at all!"
"If you don't understand, forget it. ”
After everything calmed down, the three people in the ward sighed tacitly at the same time. Mo Qingyan looked at Qinqin and Gu Chengzi and felt very sad.
"Be diligent, and if you need to, you can take him now. ”
Diligence raised his eyebrows, thinking it was really surprising, because he just wanted to ask Mo Qingyan if he could bring Gu Chengzi back to the research room.
"Really, if you need me, I'll do my best to help. Mo Qingyan nodded and said.
"Thank you, Brother Mo. It's true...... Thank you so much......"
Mo Qingyan raised his hand, grinned and said, "Thank me, I don't need to, it's just hard work for you, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome in the future." ”
......
Lazy made his way through the heavy rain, soaking wet, back into the dark research room. He looked at the two cold android bodies, and the two necrotic heads, and kicked the machines on the ground in a crumbling crash.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly broke out in the town. The gust of wind was so fierce and eerie that it swept through countless houses and headed towards the research room.
As the ground shook violently, Lazy immediately sensed that something was wrong. But before he could react, the thick glass window had been shattered. Seeing a cloud of black mist scurrying up and down, it invaded his body.
