Yang Xiaoqian clearly remembered the last meeting he had with Liu Yuanzhou, which was on the night after the memorial ceremony for the martyrs of the Southern Capital Defense War, and the venue was in Purple Mountain Villa.

An able-bodied person confines himself to a wheelchair with various electronic devices, replaces his limbs with robots, replaces his vocal cords with brain waves, and declares that the body is nothing more than a container with limited capacity, a shackle that should be tried to break free.

Anyone who sees it will be creepy and memorable.

But after less than two weeks, Liu Yuanzhou completely changed his appearance, which made Yang Xiaoqian stunned.

The man with a smile and a teasing expression in front of him made Yang Xiaoqian feel familiar and unfamiliar, this time the tea he sent was not handed by the robot, nor by the orderly, but by him himself, the last time he took the teacup from his hand was in front of the corpse in Yuanjiang.

At that time, the Far Salvation Association had not yet appeared, and many people had not yet sacrificed, and Liu Yuanzhou's decision at that time had both thunderous and iron-blooded means and gentle policies, rather than cold-blooded using other people's lives as bargaining chips to calculate gains and losses; At that time, Liu Yuanzhou would be reasonable, use strategy, and play tricks when negotiating with others, and perhaps after the calculation succeeded, he would privately hold the teapot and hum a few proudly, instead of directly reporting the expected bottom line of the negotiation partner, and then unilaterally announcing the end of the negotiation with a blank face; At that time, Liu Yuanzhou, like everyone else, would be angry and laugh.

Just like now, it's a natural laugh, a smile that reflects real emotions, and it's full of human flavor.

"You ......"

The steaming tea in the cup burned in the palm of his hand, which made Yang Xiaoqian come back to his senses and wanted to ask "How did you become like this", but he didn't know how to speak, and the questions he had thought about on the way to ask when he came, all of them became a mess at this time, entangled, and couldn't figure it out.

"I know you have a lot of questions, and I'll leave plenty of time for you, but time is precious, so we'd better cherish it and get started." Liu Yuanzhou raised the cup, blew into the cup, and took a sip of tea from the edge of the cup, any normal person might do ordinary to no more ordinary action, but it was full of a sense of disobedience when it appeared on him.

When the brain began to think, the burning heat of the palm of the hand was even more annoying, Yang Xiaoqian let go of his five fingers, and the saucer condensed by a small cloud of black mist held the teacup.

After some deliberation, Yang Xiaoqian asked: "Last time in Purple Mountain Villa, you told me that you were glad that you found a way to break the shackles and realize your ideals, but it still takes a little time, may I ask, is the change that has happened in you related to this, and in addition, is the time you need to be reduced or increased now?" ”

"Yes, there is a close connection, compared to the last time we met, my process has taken a big step forward, and it will soon be closed loop." Liu Yuanzhou shook the glass in his hand and asked, "Don't like tea?" Do you want to switch to wine? I think maybe you need a little alcohol right now. ”

Yang Xiaoqian smiled dumbly, shook his head and said: "I didn't expect to see the sun rise in the west in my lifetime, but I could hear you joking, and I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to talk like this, it's good, you are finally like a person again." ”

"Thank you." Liu Yuanzhou's thank you was reasonable, as if Yang Xiaoqian was praising just now.

Then, Liu Yuanzhou raised his left hand and looked at the watch on his wrist.

Yang Xiaoqian is sure that with Liu Yuanzhou's computing ability, he can accurately grasp every minute and second, and he doesn't need a watch at all.

This small action makes Liu Yuanzhou look more like a humane person.

"I heard you just use the word 'closed loop', well, that's interesting, so, next question, did you deliberately let go of the mutant as part of this 'loop'?"

"That's right, you can ask this question in an affirmative tone, and you've grown." Liu Yuanzhou gave a thumbs up, this action did not cause more surprise, Yang Xiaoqian accepted too much today, and he already felt numb.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiaoqian forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried his best to say in a gentle tone: "Can you please tell me, what is your plan?" ”

Liu Yuanzhou smiled but did not speak.

"You should know how many people who didn't have to die and didn't deserve to die because of your plan, because you deliberately let go of the mutants! Among them are also many Chinese compatriots! Yang Xiaoqian was angered by Liu Yuanzhou's attitude, gritted his teeth and said, "Why!" ”

"Fishing." Liu Yuanzhou gave a clueless and inexplicable answer.

"Fishing?" Yang Xiaoqian clenched his fists and wanted to hit someone.

Liu Yuanzhou restrained his smile and said solemnly: "You will know in the future, I can't say it now." ”

"Can't say? Hehe, I never believe in any nonsense that cannot be revealed, since I refuse to tell it, there must be a reason, I must not want us to know. Why can't you let us know? I guess the plan you hide in your heart and no one will talk about it, it must have kept everyone in the dark, right? Including Chairman Wen? Commander Liu, Director Liu, are you really dedicated to the country and the people? Wisps of shadow filled Yang Xiaoqian's body, swirling around like smoke, emitting a dangerous signal.

Liu Yuanzhou looked at Yang Xiaoqian's eyes calmly and said nothing.

The silent staring lasted only three seconds, Yang Xiaoqian was deflated, lowered his head and sighed: "If you really have different intentions, with your ability, you can always make up a lie that I can't see through, since you choose to hide it, I think there must be your reasons, if you can't answer me now, then forget it, tell me the answer later." Did I ask any other questions? ”

"Okay." Liu Yuanzhou nodded, and there was a smile on his face again, a patient and warm smile.

"Bai is making waves in the United States, is it a plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang?" Yang Xiaoqian asked the question he was most worried about, "He let so many mutants expose themselves in the U.S. Federation and make such a big move, if it is just for a show, in order to fight for the legal residency of a U.S. Federation, I don't believe it." In my opinion, mutants need a strong bargaining chip to fight for living space, and the best bargaining chip at present is nuclear weapons, but the countries that have nuclear weapons are not only the United States Federation and China, I suspect that Bai's real goal is the nuclear weapons of Britain and France in Europe. ”

"That's right."

"That's right?"

"That's right."

"So, should I be worried?"

"Don't worry."

Yang Xiaoqian nodded slightly, his expression was complicated, they were now discussing an issue that was likely to be related to the life and death of human civilization, in the outside world, natural enemies that had never existed in the history of human evolution were learning how to use human weapons to deal with humans, but standing here, standing in front of Liu Yuanzhou, who was holding Zhizhu, he felt that there was not much need to worry, just because Liu Yuanzhou didn't have to worry about it?

"Well, it looks like I can't get anything out of you, and since you said it's okay, then it's okay." Yang Xiaoqian tugged at the corner of his mouth on the right, revealing an ugly smile with only half an arc, and made up the second half of the unfinished sentence in his heart: After all, there is still Chairman Wen above, and it is not his turn to consider these things.

"I don't tell you, it's really for your good." Liu Yuanzhou said something that was not necessary.

Yang Xiaoqian couldn't believe his eyes, he clearly saw love and pity in Liu Yuanzhou's eyes.

Love? Pity?

Yang Xiaoqian shook his head: "Last question, you seem to have changed back into an emotional person now, instead of a cold machine, are the emotions you reveal real?" ”
