Chapter 10: Seems to be an old man
"Since you're so helpful, I have a gift for you, too."
Jiro Oshima opened a lockbox on his desk and held it in his arms to show Zhou Qian.
There were four things side by side in the lockbox, an all-metal syringe, two hands and a right index finger.
"Before the parasitic system is removed, you can put both hands back in and let it work one last time, and also leave yourself a whole corpse."
Zhou Zhen stroked the severed hand with his broken arm: "Thank you for your kindness, my hand is used to kill, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”
"How can you not be afraid, but you won't do this, because you don't want Miss Natasha and Zhong Xiaoguang's parents to accompany me to the funeral."
Jiro Oshima said and took out a syringe and put it on the armrest of the seat, and then helped Zhou Zhi to connect the severed limb, Zhou Zhi sent out a conscious command, and the parasitic system accelerated the proliferation of cells, and the two hands were soon intact.
Jiro Oshima showed a look of surprise, and this expression turned into an unconcealed joy: "Miraculous invention! ”
Zhou Zhen sneered: "Mr. Oshima, you are really a person who doubts everything, these hands are useless to me, you just want to finally confirm whether the parasitic system in my body is really effective, am I right?" ”
Jiro Oshima nodded, then shook his head again: "I'm a lot of doubts, but what I suspect is not the effect of the parasitic system, what I suspect is Hayes, I can't confirm whether he has done anything with your parasitic system before, you know, he is not a very trustworthy person." ”
He picked up the syringe and aimed it at the vein in Zhou Zhi's arm: "Mr. Zhou, there is not much time, and I would like to trouble you to mobilize all the parasitic robots here, a total of 1,318." ”
"Hehe, Natasha really told you a lot of things."
Zhou Zhen covered his coldness with a smile, the number of parasitic robots in his body, it seems that Natasha has also been revealed.
Thank you old friends, may you continue to live forever.
Zhou Zhen closed his eyes and silently said goodbye to the little ones who had taken care of him for forty-seven years, and at the same time, he gave one last conscious command.
...
Probably worried about long nights and dreams, at the urging of Jiro Oshima, on the third day of Zhou's arrest, people from the compliance department of the corporate alliance rushed to A28.
The trial venue is the largest conference room in the headquarters of Shennong Group, and the trial site is open to all A28 citizens, but this is a very ordinary case of theft and resistance to arrest, a few security guards died, and the person on trial is only a new employee, and the major media are not even bothered to write reports, and naturally there are no idlers to watch.
The trial process was also very simple, Zhou Zhen pleaded guilty, and the compliance minister of the enterprise alliance announced the verdict in court, and 'Zhong Xiaoguang' was sentenced to lethal injection for theft and resisting arrest and homicide, but because it required a long approval process to receive the injection drug, he still needed to be detained for a month.
Jiro Oshima was very disappointed by this, he thought that he would sentence Zhou Zhi to be shot or hanged, after all, the bullets and noose were ready-made, and the execution was efficient, after the trial, Zhou Zhi saw that he had been talking on the phone, and there was anxiety on his red face that could not be hidden.
It must be Hayes on the other end of the phone, Zhou Zhen guessed that if he didn't die for a day, they wouldn't be completely at ease for a day.
There were three people sitting in the audience, Zhong Xiaoguang's parents came from B44 city overnight, and the old couple cried very much, but there was no radical action, which made Zhou Zhen feel at ease.
The third person was Natasha, she was wearing a long black dress and a black wide-brimmed hat, Zhou Zhen's dock was too high, he couldn't see her expression, and after the verdict was announced, she left the conference room as soon as possible.
After the trial was over, two security guards escorted Zhou away, and in the elevator leading to the first floor, one of the security guards smashed him in the chest with the butt of a gun.
"Dog thing! The night you were captured, you killed my brother. ”
The security guard scolded in a low voice, but Zhou Zhen didn't hear his words clearly, he only heard the sound of his rib fracture, there was no parasitic system to suppress the pain, he felt his brain buzzing, and his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhou Qian, Zhou Qian, you have been cheating in your life, and now you have finally seen the real chapter, but you are just a coward who will cry because of pain, and he silently laughed at himself in his heart.
Outside the building, the carriage for transporting the prisoners has long been prepared, and the prison is on the edge of the first floor of A28, two hours away from the headquarters of the Shennong Group, and it is Amiko who takes over the escort task.
"The section chief personally sent me, I was really flattered."
Zhou Zhen teased weakly, but Amiko had a rare serious face: "I asked for it myself, I have something to ask you." ”
"I was asked a lot by Oshima two days ago, and today I was asked a lot by the minister, and my heart, liver, spleen and lungs have been cleaned, so I really didn't expect it."
When Zhou Zhi speaks, he will pull a wound in his ribs, which causes his voice to be as thin as a mosquito.
"Your hand, what's the matter?"
Amiko didn't notice the anomaly, her eyes resting on Zhou's shackled hands.
"Oshima Ji... Mr. Oshima asked someone to pick it up for me. ”
Zhou Zhen raised his hand and shook it.
"Big Island? He couldn't even cure his own disease. ”
Amiko sneered.
"Do you know how the saber works? There are 2,000 parasitic robots in my body, all the size of carbon atoms, launched from my pores, remotely controlled by my consciousness, your hand is not severed, but the molecular structure has been destroyed by a saber, and it is impossible to replant it with conventional medical means. ”
When Zhou Zhen heard this, his heart sank, he already knew what Amiko was going to say next, she seemed to be very familiar with all parasitic systems, but at the moment she could only pretend to be at a loss, and the pain made this disguise seem very real.
"Maybe, he found some miracle doctor, you see that his face is much better than before, isn't it?"
"This is the second thing I want to ask you, then I tell you, your amputated limb, his advanced cirrhosis, can only be cured with a therapeutic parasitic system, as far as I know, this parasitic system can only be 'immortal'."
Obviously, Amiko didn't buy it, Zhou Zhi's heart beat violently, because of the injury, and because of the nervousness, could it be that his identity has been exposed, he leaned on the railing of the prisoner car, panting and perfunctorily: "Then you can only go and ask Oshima, thanks to you, I fainted from excessive blood loss, and it was already like this when I woke up." ”
"First of all, Zhou Zhen died, you told me the news, and Oshima also confirmed the matter, saying that he slaughtered more than 70 unemployed people, and he died in a firefight with the unemployed, and then you came to work, and after a month, Oshima's condition suddenly improved, and your hand was healed within two days."
Amiko said coldly, and Zhou Zhen pretended to be calm and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"The last time I saw Zhou Zhen was more than forty years ago, when I was very young and had no impression of his appearance, but when I saw you, I always subconsciously felt that you looked like him."
Amiko didn't answer his question head-on, but stared at his eyes, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if it was about to pierce his heart, Zhou Zhen was taken aback, he really didn't remember that he had ever seen Amiko, and he was also very sure that he had never met General Bernard's daughter, more than forty years ago, he didn't know that General Bernard had a daughter.
"It's not strange, everyone says I'm a public face, but it's you, you're in your forties?"
Zhou Zhen squeezed out a smile and tried to change the topic, which seemed to have some effect, Amiko sighed and said: "That's right, you can't be Zhou Zhen, he will never be a thief." ”
Then, she turned her face to look out of the prisoner car, gritted her teeth and said to herself: "Mr. Oshima is my savior, but if he kills Zhou Zhen, I will definitely kill him and return my life to him." ”
"You... Why? What is the relationship between Zhou Zhen and you? ”
Zhou Zhen thought that he had heard it wrong, Amiko had said in the interview with him that the reason she left the gang was to surpass Zhou Zhen and pull him down from the performance rankings of the Energy Hunters, he thought it was the hatred that General Bernard had instilled in her since childhood, after all, during the Energy War, they used to fight each other, but now it sounds like he has completely guessed the opposite direction.
"You don't have to know that you're going to die, and you're going to die permaly."
Amiko glanced at Zhou Qian, with some regret in her eyes.
"And an immortal death?"
Zhou Zhen asked with a smile, thinking that she had used the wrong word.
"Death is not the end for those who have died before, but for you and most of those who are still alive, death will be the end, a sure destruction."
When Amiko said this, her voice trembled a little, and Zhou Zhi looked at the fluffy doll on her head, and then looked at her serious appearance, and couldn't help but feel very funny.
"Haha, Chief, the way you tell ghost stories isn't scary at all, it's pretty cute."
