Chapter 969: Another Urban Legend (1)
Heavy snow is coming.
This is the first sentence of the opening sentence of a very famous disaster literature in the Empire, which is a disaster literature that can be regarded as a very classic even in the history of 5,000 years, opening a new chapter in the disaster literature of the Empire. The book tells the story of a catastrophe that begins with a long university.
The beginning of the story was the first heavy snowfall like today. At first, it came slowly, but at night it began to rage, and a violent storm covered the entire territory of the empire. Due to the excessive exploitation and pollution caused by human beings, the ecology of the Zhige Continent finally collapsed and ushered in a long ice period.
After foreseeing the Ice Age, the Empire made many efforts, even including cooperation with foreign races and various intrigues. In this book, the characters are vivid and vivid, making it feel as if they are really happening around them.
And in the book, it also exposes a considerable number of the social ills of the empire at the time, as well as more industrial pollution that was being carried out without restraint at that time. If the author of the book were still alive, it would never have been published, but the problem is that the author of the book is dead.
When he finished the book, after handing over the manuscript to his friend who was the editor, the author, like the protagonist at the end of the story, used his death to warn everyone in the empire that if they did not prepare early, sooner or later more serious disasters would befall everyone.
This book is also the beginning of a new stage in the scientific and technological civilization of the Empire, and to this day, the Empire has been able to develop into the current clean energy society, and this book and its author have contributed greatly. This miner, who wrote only one book in his life, also became a great man in the history of the empire.
Maybe it's because the scenes are too similar, or maybe it's because the recent turmoil in the empire is really full of twists and turns, and when everyone sees this heavy snowfall, such a sentence suddenly comes to their hearts. It's just that they all know that this snow is just a fortuitous farce after all.
An Xiaoyu sighed and began to regret it. It shouldn't have been held up in the first place, but it was not supposed to be a big one, but how many mysteries were hidden in the seemingly simple laws, only An Xiaoyu and Qiancao knew. Those flames were far from being as easy to deal with as they seemed on the surface, otherwise An Xiaoyu would not have been hit.
Qiancao is definitely a dangerous person, and his scheming is absolutely unfathomable. The laws in those flames could not have been deliberately done by him, at that time, even Qian Cao would not bother to use his hands and feet on these flames, not to mention that he must also know that ninety-four-three-eighty-one is not good at the law of cause and effect.
Then there is only one possibility, Qiancao is just doing it casually, and the application of such strange laws is as easy as eating and drinking. A person who hides so many insidious things casually, what kind of black can his heart become? Ann whispered a little creepy.
The wind and snow raged all night, and the next morning, the news in the imperial capital seemed to say that some artificial wind reduction measures had been taken, and the words were vague. However, the wind outside the door is indeed a lot less, at least it will not affect the travel of normal people.
Xiao An and An Xiaoyu went out, and they could obviously feel that the air around them had become cold. The heavy snowstorm overnight took away the remaining heat from the land, making the area even colder from the sky to the underground.
When walking on the road, many people have already put on the thickest clothes, and the spring and autumn school uniforms worn by An Xiaoyu and An Xiaoan, two students who don't look very old, are particularly conspicuous. However, after seeing the mecha badge on their chests, everyone else was not surprised.
After arriving at the school, An Xiaoyu once again enjoyed the warm atmosphere of the academy and sat in her seat contentedly.
Leng Yan saw her smiling and whispered: This time, the military merits of the South China Sea Emperor's Mausoleum mission have come down, and everyone has risen by one level. Of course, you still don't. When you become a captain, you must have the merits of personally leading the troops, or the seniority of the year to be promoted. Why didn't you count the blocking battle outside the imperial capital at the beginning? ”
An Xiaoyu said: "After all, it is Si Mingyu who is leading the Eastern Wilderness Army now, not to mention that I am a student, what do I want such a high military rank for?" ”
"Huh." Leng Yan didn't believe this at all, but he knew that An Xiaoyu couldn't wait for everyone in the Eastern Wilderness Army to be an officer! How could she, the founder of the Eastern Wilderness Army, be an exception? said that he didn't want it, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
However, he didn't expose it, he just said: "This time the matter of the Nanhai Emperor's Mausoleum is over, and it looks like the exam week is coming, you estimate that you can slow down for a month, right?" ”
"Who knows?" An Xiaoyu frowned: "Heavenly Dao always sends me trouble, and I don't think the retribution of this snow is just a little bit." I don't know when, Heavenly Dao will send someone to send me a big trouble, such as ......"
"Sister An!" Zhao Ziying suddenly ran over, followed by the other two people of the trio.
"What's the matter?" An Xiaoyu gave Leng Yan a look and told him that sure enough, trouble was coming.
"Sister An! Have you heard of the recent urban legends? Zhao Ziying's eyes were full of small stars, and he said to An Xiaoyu.
"Urban legends?" An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, another urban legend?
To be honest, An Xiaoyu has participated in a lot of urban legends, the first time was the ghost of Wang Le in the Jiang family's old mansion; After that, there is the maid in the girls' apartment where the body of the girl disappeared; After that, there was the blood ghost that Liu Xinyi faced, the high priest, and the cannibalistic ritual of their cult.
To be honest, An Xiaoyu still misses urban legends very much, but after coming back recently, An Xiaoyu accidentally dropped the terminal in the toilet, and he didn't have time to look at these things when he just replaced the new terminal, so he asked: "What urban legend?" ”
Zhao Ziying then told the new urban legend to An Xiaoyu.
This legend had spread a month earlier, not long after their mecha department had left the Imperial Palace. In the beginning, it was just a horror story on the Internet. The content of the story is probably in an old house in the imperial capital, and a lone writer is working when he is killed by a robot in his own house.
The writer had both parents dead and had no spouse or children. Usually I am kind to others, but unfortunately I don't go out often, so the relationship with my neighbors is not salty or light. Because he had to rush the manuscript, it was difficult to solve the problems of life, and after getting the manuscript fee once, the writer finally moved the idea of hiring a nanny.
One day, while he was looking around for a housekeeping company, wondering which one would be more affordable, his neighbor said to him, "Why don't you buy a housekeeping robot?" I see that you don't have any elderly people to take care of, let alone children, if you don't have high requirements for the cleanliness of the house, you can get a cheap robot to help you clean up the room, you can use it when you plug it in, how convenient and affordable? ”
The writer suddenly realized that after thanking his kind neighbor, he returned home and bought a housekeeping robot that was neither too good nor too bad on the shopping platform. That afternoon, the robot was delivered to him, and the writer eagerly charged it according to the instructions and tried it, and it didn't take long for the house to be neat and tidy.
Inspired by housekeeping robots, the writer wrote a science fiction novel about robots turning on their minds in a room that night after a long absence. But he didn't realize that when he racked his brains to conceive the story and hit the story on the light screen, two strange lights flashed in the two electronic eyes of the robot behind him that was charging and standby.
That night, the poor writer was brutally killed in bed by his own robot, and the light brain next to the bed showed the story that had not been sent out the previous night.
When the neighbors found out, the writer's body had begun to rot and stink, but there was no trace of dust in the room, except for the body on the bed, everything seemed to be in order, and there were even traces of a recent cooking.
The guards who rushed to hear the news were puzzled, and they did not find any traces of prisoners in the room. And the housekeeping robot has been on the power supply, theoretically speaking, without the owner's voiceprint command, it will never move.
After ruling out a number of reasons, the police almost defined the case as a suicide. At this time, Detective Shook appeared. This private detective, because of his outstanding reasoning skills, rigorous thinking structure, and strong observation skills, has helped the garrison deal with many mysterious cases.
This time was no exception, after coming to the scene of the crime, Xiao Ke immediately concluded that this case was definitely not a suicide, but a murder of a bad nature!
But when the guards asked how the prisoners killed people and how to keep the house tidy, Shook couldn't give an answer. What is certain is that the house can be maintained in such a state that someone should be cleaning it non-stop.
So they quietly put down the surveillance cameras in the room, and watched all the corners of the room around the clock. Finally, the next morning, the already sleepy guards and Xiao Ke finally waited for the scene that made them creepy.
I saw that the housekeeping robot, which was originally plugged into the power supply and should not have moved, suddenly started. It turned its hemispherical head and looked around, and when it saw no one, it left the power socket.
Then, it starts cleaning around the room, sweeping every corner and quietly. Then, it went into the kitchen and began to make breakfast with the ingredients in the refrigerator that had begun to spoil, and it was two breakfasts. Putting breakfast on the table, the housekeeping robot actually sat on the chair.
Facing the breakfast in front of him, the housekeeping robot was silent for a long time. Then I put away both breakfasts, put them in a garbage bag and throw them away. It sets the chair out, returns it to the power outlet, plugs itself into the outlet, and turns it off.
It all seemed so weird that it was unacceptable.
Xiao Ke and the guards were in disbelief, but everything in front of them told them one thing - the housekeeping robot was alive! It had a mind of its own, then killed its master, and the dove became a member of the family.
He even made himself breakfast!
Now the truth is revealed, the guards bring men and guns, and in the room they fight to the death with the robot who found that they have been exposed and finally run away, and finally use laser weapons to penetrate the hard shell of the robot and shatter the chip inside, ending the battle.
In the robot's body, they found a hidden murder weapon, a replacement blade. What was originally such a blade was a prop for the construction of an indoor bonsai set turned out to be something that ended the poor writer's life.
The story ends abruptly here, but the story doesn't end yet.
Zhao Ziying lowered his voice and said to An Xiaoyu: "After this story happened, someone actually went to the garrison to report the case, saying that the prototype of the character written in this story was originally his neighbor. When he saw this story, he thought it was the neighbor himself. So he knocked on his neighbor's door, but no one came. Perhaps because of the effect of the story, he repeatedly picked the lock of his neighbor's door and found the body lying on the bed, as well as the housekeeping robot looking at him from the socket. ”
Pan Zhangchao and Wang Zezhao nodded in the back and said: "That housekeeping robot was indeed bought by this person at the suggestion of his writer neighbor, and he was shocked at the time." He went to the police because he suspected that someone was spying on his private life, but after the police found the author of the novel, they did not find that this person was suspicious in the slightest. ”
"The author of the story is a well-known horror novel writer on the Internet, who often writes horror stories related to daily life, because it is too close to life, so it is too scary, and slowly became famous. Now this writer is in his sixties, an ordinary old man, and his legs are still naturally atrophied. ”
Zhao Ziying handed over the news of this case to An Xiaoyu, along with a more detailed case file record in the internal database of the mecha department.
After An Xiaoyu took a closer look, she found that the person who killed the writer was really the housekeeping robot in the room, which caused an uproar in the imperial capital. In the month that the mecha department left the imperial capital, even the small mecha companies and agents went bankrupt because of the impact of this incident.
Later, after investigation, it was found that the housekeeping robot had been coded and manipulated from an unknown source, so it did such a thing. After proving that it was not the robot that left the factory with the problem, the contradiction was resolved.
Seeing this, An Xiaoyu thought of the two robots she had encountered in the villa in Haiti, one of which was also a housekeeping robot. But what is the relationship between these two things? And why is the plot of the horror novelist's novel so similar to this case?
The horror novelist has created many horror stories with Detective Shocke as the central character, and has even been loved by many security guards. But nothing like this has ever happened, could it be that someone is borrowing his ideas to kill people?
However, the time when the story was published was obviously much later than the time of the crime......
An Xiaoyu handed the information to Dong Xiaoguan: "What do you think?" ”
Dong Xiaoguan looked at the above records, and also thought of the two robots in Haiti, after looking at the photos and code, Dong Xiaoguan nodded and said: "The techniques are very similar, although it is impossible to determine whether it is a person who committed the crime according to the code, but it can't be such a coincidence, right?" The means to breach a firewall are not something that can be obtained by just one person. ”
An Xiaoyu saw that Dong Xiaoguan also said this, so he nodded and said: "I know about this matter, only I will go to the garrison to take a look, you will ...... first"
"No, no, no!" Zhao Ziying suddenly shook his head: "This is the case we discovered, and we have to participate in it!" I want to be like Detective Shock, see through the conspiracy and methods of criminals, and go straight to the other side of the truth! Any clues, don't try to escape my Xiao Ziying's eyes! ”
"And I, Xiao Zhangchao!"
"And me, Xiao Zezhao!"
It's the iconic line of Xiao Ke, the protagonist of the novel, An Xiaoyu covered his forehead and couldn't see it, that guy from Shanchuan Jingxiujun is not shallow!
When it comes to killings, and when it comes to the security forces, where is it so easy to get them involved? So An Xiaoyu said viciously: "I think I'll cut the three of you first!" Are you ready for the exam? Why don't you honestly give me a roll to study? ”
The trio's faces fell, Zhao Ziying still wanted to say something, but when he saw An Xiaoyu about to raise his hand, he turned around and ran away. Seeing this, An Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "These three guys are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they will go to the battlefield in the future, and I don't know what big mess will happen." ”
Leng Yan wasn't worried at all: "If the three of them really go to the battlefield, maybe they can still have a miraculous effect!" So, what do you think is going on with this? ”
"I just heard about it today, how do you know what's going on?" An Xiaoyu spread out her hands: "In short, in order to prevent Tiandao from making me more trouble, I will take over after school today." I'll go to the garrison and visit this horror novelist by the way, are you all together? ”
Of course, Dong Xiaoguan was very interested in this matter: "Of course I'm together!" ”
Leng Yan shook his head: "I'm not like the two of you, I can guarantee that I will be among the best in two days, I have to review carefully, I won't get involved in this matter, and there are some other things in the family." ”
An Xiaoyu nodded, knowing that the imperial capital was about to start a major reform of the National Military Commission, and of course Leng Yan's family was also involved. Although he didn't know what position the second Leng family was standing in, Leng Yan didn't say much, and An Xiaoyu didn't ask much.
On the contrary, Dong Xiaoguan is full of fighting spirit, since the last time he met those two robots, he has been looking forward to fighting with those people behind him, and this time he will not let go of the opportunity.
So, after school, An Xiaoyu and Dong Xiaoguan went to the garrison.
