Chapter 14: True and False
"Ah......" The pain was like a tide, Meng Chen screamed and sat up, and the discomfort enveloped his body. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He tried to open his eyes, but the blinding white light forced him to close them again. He was like a drowning man, waving his hands wildly. Like a fish thrown ashore, it opens its mouth and gasps for breath. He felt several people circling around him, and the smell of sweat and sludge pierced his nose. Fortunately, an amiable voice sounded in my ears: "David, you are safe." ”
Several pairs of warm hands supported him and helped him rub his chest and back: "It's okay, it's okay." Whatever just happened, now you're safe. ”
Meng Chen gradually calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and felt the vitality of life. He slowly opened his eyes again, struggling to adjust to the blinding white light. A blurred line of sight stretches forward. He shook his head, and his vision became clearer and clearer.
Several figures came into view, their faces full of concern. Glancing around, the cables were dense like spider webs, several simple login chairs were arranged around the wiring host, and various life detection devices displayed data and curves in a disorderly manner. The login chair to his left lay the body of Captain Levi, blood gushing from his mouth and nose all the way to the floor. One of the ship's crew members covered him with a white cloth with a sad expression.
Meng Chen turned his head to the other side. Seeing a face that made him creep.
This is the face that belongs to Jin, but that smiling expression, Meng Chen will never forget......
"Smith......" he clenched his fists.
"Hello." Smith waved his hand at him, and then stopped speaking, but simply lip-synched, "Agent Brown." ”
"Smith......" Meng Chen roared and jumped into the air, picked up the login plug casually, and stabbed at Smith with the sharp end.
David's body was much taller and more burly than Kim's. Meng Chen's leap was really like an eagle pounceing on a rabbit, and its momentum was so fierce that Smith had no room to fight back at all.
"David!" The crowd screamed. There were those who rushed up to block in front of Jin, those who rushed over to hug Meng Chen, and those who grabbed the plug and snatched it desperately, and everyone was in a mess in an instant. In the midst of the chaos, Meng Chen's offensive was also defused. Smith gave him a sinister grin.
"David, I know you were surprised to see Smith too, all of us are the same. But you have to see clearly, who is the person in front of you, he is Kim! He is our comrade-in-arms! Deputy Captain Harold scolded Meng Chen.
"He's not! He's Smith! He's Smith! Although his hands and feet were restrained, Meng Chen still struggled desperately, and his strength was so great that the four of them could barely control him.
"Put him in confinement and calm him down! It's a mess here! ”
The four of them sent Meng Chen, who was still struggling, into the confinement room, and in the closed room, Meng Chen did his best to beat, smash, and destroy.
Several other crew members looked helpless at his crazy appearance, and one of them crawled by the door and whispered, "David, I know you're frightened by Smith." In fact, I was horrified when I saw him as much as a wasp. But you have to pick yourself up. Except for the captain, you are our best hacker, and now the captain is ......"
He saw that Meng Chen's eyes had been scattered and had no brilliance, so he had no choice but to shake his head in pain and walk away silently.
During the confinement, people came to see him one after another. But everyone was frightened by David's madness and worried about whether he would recover.
The captain's death was an extremely heavy blow to the crew of the Hades. Everyone who came to Meng Chen's door was a mixture of sadness, pain, and worry. Meng Chen sensed from their words that they were full of sadness, and at the same time extremely worried about David, who had fallen into madness. They had already lost a comrade, so they were terrified of losing another.
Except, of course, for Kim, because his soul is already Smith.
Smith also came to visit Meng Chen in a pretended way. He leaned over to the door and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Agent Brown." It's a shame that I just got my freedom and now I lose my freedom. ”
"I'm really confused! It's not like your style, haven't you been able to stay calm all the time? Why do you behave so irrationally? ”
"Did my entry into the real world affect you a lot? Or is the person I assimilated important to you? Or do you have some secret secret? ”
Smith looked at Meng Chen, who was squatting in the middle of the confinement room and bowed his head and said silently, "Or are you really crazy?" ”
After saying this, he saw Meng Chen slowly raise his head. When he could see Meng Chen's eyes, he felt a tremor in his heart. There was no madness, no distraction, only brilliance. At this moment, he was forced to take a small step back by this gaze.
Meng Chen no longer curled up, he slowly stood up, his tall figure almost covering all the observation holes on the door. He came to the door, looked Smith in the eye, and said in a thin voice, "Without you, the world would be clear." ”
Smith took a deep breath and took another step, suppressing the doubts in his heart, still in a calm tone, "What a surprise, Agent Brown. What are you going to cover up? ”
"I don't know your plan, but I'm not going to let you get your way."
"How can you stop me when I'm locked up here?"
"You don't need to be by your side all the time to stop you, in fact, there are many other ways."
"For example......"
"Do you know what these people's names are? How do they relate to the people you assimilate? Meng Chen looked at Smith playfully, watching his expression change from puzzled to surprised and then angry.
"So what? What if you don't know that? ”
Meng Chen looked up to the sky and smiled: "This is not a matrix, you can't get information through the system." All knowledge and experience must be tried and summarized little by little. You were so calm just now, but in fact do you know what this person's personality is like on a regular basis? I want to ask you, how do you go about communicating with them? ”
"Sober up. Such a calm person doesn't know anything, how are you going to face them. How do you keep them from being suspicious? That's enough to limit your movements. Haha......"
Smith felt as if he had been poured into a flood when he heard Meng Chen's words, and all his plans and ideas were completely extinguished. He was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Why do you know so well?" You're an agent like me, how do you know the outside world so clearly? It's like being here before......"
Speaking of this, Smith suddenly stopped, looked at Meng Chen in a daze for a while, and suddenly said, "You must have come out before, right?" Definitely yes, otherwise how to explain you know what's going on outside. I really can't believe that you are so bold. Agent Brown, the phrase "people don't look good" is too good for you. ”
Smith was gone, still walking at his usual steady pace, the panic had vanished without a trace. From his playing card-like face, you couldn't tell what he was thinking.
