"Lu Wen, we've been living together for quite a long time."

"Actually, it's less than two months ......"

"I'm afraid you weren't a good guy in your last life."

"From a materialist point of view, neither human nor android should have an older life."

“……”

Gray clouds converged beneath the steel city.

Sitting on the pipe of the low bungalow, looking up, there seemed to be a huge monster among the thick clouds, and its body was hazy and could not be seen clearly.

"After Jiang Xiaonian's incident, I doubted your true identity, but I didn't have accurate evidence at the time, and I ...... at the time Maybe I'm thinking wrong. Xia Chuluo said.

"Actually, I thought wrong at the time." Lu Wen replied.

"So you really weren't born again?"

"I'm not, but someone is."

"Yin Long?"

"Hmm."

Xia Chuluo frowned, supported his chin with his right hand, and rested his elbow on his thigh.

The Thinker's Pose.

The doctor did not recommend this position, saying that it is better to lie flat, otherwise there will be problems in the wound healing process.

"Yin Long created you and instilled in you the memories of humanity, making you think you were born again?"

"That's right."

"No wonder that old fellow left you some of his inheritance, you are really lucky, people sit at home, wealth comes from heaven, a lot of money, right?"

"Okay...... At least the second half of my life is carefree. ”

"You're android, theoretically you don't have the rest of your life, you're immortal."

“……”

This question has actually bothered Lu Wen for a while.

It's not a good thing to live too long.

Most androids don't have much on their minds, they live one day at a time, and they don't want to fight for anything.

But some androids are different.

For example, the A00 kind.

In the video that Yin Long left to Lu Wen before he died, he told him that it was A00 who single-handedly contributed to the confrontation and competition between the two companies, which led to the excessive prosperity of today's androids, and A00 was secretly planning bigger things.

This kind of android, which has a complex mind and is still evolving, can pose a considerable threat to society if it lives too long.

Lu Wen is also considered this kind of android.

He would occasionally wonder if one day, when the humans he knew, such as Xia Chuluo, Wei Bo'an, and even Jiang Xiaonian, as well as his countless fans, were turned into gray tombstones on the cemetery, would he feel too bored to live, and then make some dangerous actions that he couldn't understand now?

"One of you is already a big danger, especially when you learn that you are not really human." Xia Chuluo suddenly asked, "How many androids like you have Yin Long made?" ”

"Nine."

Lu Wen replied truthfully.

"Eight is in my no-man's land right now, and he doesn't realize he's not human, he's not a threat level, and he often misses his hometown."

It's hard to say about the remaining seven......

If one of those guys realizes that he is not human, and he can't accept it for a while, his mentality changes, he becomes distorted or even crazy, and he happens to have a lot of resources at his disposal, the consequences will be catastrophic.

"So people are creatures, when they get old, they will become irrational, whether it is the emperor or a commoner, Yin Long, that old guy must also know that if there is a problem with the nine of you, it will become nine time bombs, but he still did it."

Xia Chuluo said that when the things here are done, he will go back to check the more powerful characters who have suddenly appeared in the past nine years.

It was dangerous to keep the remaining seven.

"What was going on in your mind when you knew who you were?" Xia Chuluo asked.

"What else can you think, it's like this anyway...... But at that time, I was firm in my thoughts. ”

"Give androids a future?"

"Hmm."

Lu Wen sat for a long time in front of the chapel in the ruined city.

Until he knew the truth, his biggest goal was to kill Zero.

After killing Zero, he is no longer a threat and can enjoy the rest of his endless years.

Even he once thought that the appearance of Zero might be a test for him in the world, just like the protagonists in those, after crossing over, as long as he goes through the test and gets rid of the final villain, he can live as he wants.

Endless Life...... It was indeed very tempting for him at that time.

"Later, I experienced a lot of things, followed Wei Bo'an to witness the decay of Mowu City, saw the common people at the bottom, also participated in the splendid and luxurious banquets, made many friends on the steel support of Baker City, and even saw the body of Zero, and finally followed you to this city.

"After thinking about it for a long time, I finally figured out that there is no eternal opponent in this world, life is very complicated, and it is not possible to enjoy life smoothly if you solve all opponents, every moment there are new opponents born, and there will be old opponents who become friends."

"Are you enlightened and ready to take refuge in Buddhism?"

Xia Chuluo looked at him with strange eyes.

The two rarely had this kind of communication, and most of the time relied on a tacit understanding that had been established over a long period of time.

"Actually, I'm still curious, what is the essence of Zero?" Xia Chuluo asked.

"Her ontology...... It's very special, it's a toy robot, with only a few simple program instructions, and before that war, children in their ages or teens used it to relieve boredom. ”

"So, she shouldn't have existed in this world?"

There is no possibility of evolution for that kind of machine.

Her ontology has no will to actively obtain knowledge from the outside world, and even if she has that will, she does not have the ability.

Unless someone makes a copy of the original Zero's data and reprograms it to give her higher intelligence.

"Old Man Yin Long also told me that the existence of Zero is more special than me and A00, I didn't understand it at the time, but I only understood it after seeing her body."

"Yin Long actually knew what the ontology of Zero was early on?"

"No, in the image he left me, he only said his general guess, if he could find the body of Zero, it is estimated that he would have found a way to destroy Zero before he was out of breath."

The summer wind blows through the rooftops.

It's still stuffy.

The tattered walls are covered with air-conditioning units.

It's actually a great city for filmmaking.

The pale yellow and pale pink wall paint has been eroded by the years, dyed with moss and rust dark red, prosperity and decline are intertwined, scrap iron and bricks are crisscrossed, no matter which path you walk, you can feel the traces of time.

Children will frolic in mid-air on the huge pipes that crisscross the air.

Day and night there will be colored lights with a blurry halo.

The old double-decker bus drove slowly into the distance.

"I have a question too." Lu Wen looked at Xia Chuluo.

"What?"

"Do you know how to read minds?"

“……”

Xia Chuluo gave him a blank look.

That's the problem.

"Even if I do? You're a robot, and you don't have a heart, are you afraid of me reading it? ”

"Theoretically, the structure of the android's body mimics that of a human, so I actually have a heart."

“……”

The two were chatting when two explosions suddenly sounded in the distance.

It's intense.

Far away, but clearly audible.

In the distance, you can still hear the screams and cries of the crowd.

The people of Floating City have been going out for a long time and night, and as natives, many know that after a week, the city will be in chaos and it will be a long time before it will calm down again.

This week is known locally as the calm before the storm.

So they all like to get together and walk around.

So he was targeted by Luo Ruyan.

"It's Luo Ruyan's team, there were originally three cars left in their team, Luo Ruyan was in the front, and after they drove into the crowd, Luo Ruyan detonated two cars." The voice of a member of the team came through the headphones.

Lu Wen and Xia Chuluo sat here chatting leisurely.

The other members of the team were not idle, and they had been secretly following Luo Ruyan.

"Luo Ruyan, this old guy is really ruthless, there are seven members of his own team in those two cars, and they were detonated like this, and none of them survived." Jiang Fatzi said.

"Luo Ruyan said that this is a broken jar."

"He knows that he is at a disadvantage now, and a large number of people in the team will expose him, so he detonated these two cars in a crowded place, which can not only reduce the burden on the team, but also create chaos, so that we can't follow him."

But Luo Ruyan never imagined that there were a few ants lying under his car.

……

After the distant explosion, the mechanical deacon quickly arrived at the scene, maintained order, and transported the wounded to the hospital.

Onlookers also called the emergency services.

But the city is quite congested after all, and most of the streets are two-way single lanes, and they are cement pavements laid a long time ago with potholes.

The rusty classic cars are also stuck in traffic on the road.

The ambulance came slowly.

Luo Ruyan had already run away at this time.

Now there is only one car left in the team, and there are only two people in the car, he and glasses.

"Just now...... The explosion just now was ......" glasses turned pale.

After those two violent explosions, he visibly felt the car he was in shake a few times.

At that time, he panicked, thinking that the car would also explode after him.

But thankfully, after all this time, the car is still unharmed.

"The bombs in their car are unstable, so they exploded one after another." Luo Ruyan didn't admit that he did it, "But don't worry, our car is quite safe, and it won't happen like the one just now." ”

"Oh...... Then ...... That's good. The glasses nodded in agreement.

This can't be done!

From the beginning to the present, not a penny has been paid.

The two of them were the only ones left in the team.

Glasses began to miss the stable life of the past, staying at home every day, taking on some projects to make money, and in his spare time, he would go to those hidden websites to dig into the dark side of the world, and occasionally play games.

That's the life of the gods.

He even suspected that the two cars were detonated by Luo Ruyan.

But he didn't dare say it.
