Chapter 59: Homecoming
A blood moon hangs above the far horizon of the Maritime Canal, making the manta rays that are gradually coming to the surface seem to be on the road to the moon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 An infoBlood Moon usually occurs during a lunar eclipse, when the Moon enters the Earth's shadow, and the Earth's shadow dyes the Moon a fascinating red.
The manta rays have just crossed the cordon set up by the coalition government of Asia and the United States -- since the Confederate Day riots a year ago, the coalition government has set up the old city as a warning zone for reconstruction, and it is not allowed to enter without special permission, so what the old city looks like today is still a mystery to the outside world.
"Goo Goo Goo ~ Goo Goo ~ "
A King Lionheart mech sat on the equipment table in the manta ray maintenance room, looking up decently through the transparent zenith, looking at the blood moon in the sky with a pair of green eyes, and humming a strange pigeon sound in the pronunciation system.
"Goo~Goo..." If you listen carefully and patiently, you can detect a certain melody of the song.
"Hi, hello." Next to the Lionheart mecha, one side of the computer screen that can move freely through the bottom bracket lights up, and the blue curve that constantly fluctuates up and down is displayed on the top, which is Jack, the backbone computer of the second generation of Devil Ray:
"You, as the artificial intelligence of the manta ray generation, should be called mine according to human beings." Hundreds of words quickly scrolled up on his electronic screen, and finally settled on two magnified nouns, namely: "senior" and "senior".
The cursor moves back and forth between the two words a few times, as if to consider which one is more appropriate... Finally locked on the word on the right:
"Senior sister. According to my information, you have crossed the maritime canal, can you share some experience with me? ”
The one who is called the senior sister turns out to be Lisa who is controlling the Lionheart mecha as a body - although it was the central computer of the devil ray generation, but when the main ship was destroyed a year ago, Lisa's core center processor was hit hard, and only the remaining part of the program was in Hong Yuesheng's artificial heart CPU, and with this as the core, it was connected to more other computers in close proximity through the network, so as to achieve the ability to remotely control low-level electronic devices as a body, but Lisa also paid the price of a significant decline in intelligence level, There are also some unbelievable bugs. In addition to the old Hong Yuesheng, the Lisa system has long been eliminated by the regular army, and the new manta ray has been replaced by the second-generation system, codenamed Jack, which is initially set as a male artificial intelligence.
However, the senior sister did not seem to be interested in paying attention to Jack's formal exchange proposal, and still looked at the night sky alone, humming the melody of the south and north with the call of a pigeon.
Jack paid attention to Lisa's behavior for a moment, and the blue curve continued to fluctuate slightly:
"What are you doing?" He finally couldn't help but ask. Lisa's behavior is beyond the cognition of ordinary artificial intelligence, which works with professional rigor and no emotion. At the same time, Jack searched the Internet for the melody's vocal track record, and played the original song instead:
"Now you say you're lonely,
You cry all night~
All right! You can shed tears for me.
Do you know that I have shed tears for you. ”
It turned out to be an old song.
As soon as she heard the familiar singing, Lisa finally reacted, and couldn't help humming along, even manipulating the huge mecha to sway from side to side like a child.
"Senior sister... What you are doing is beyond my comprehension ... Jack was puzzled by Lisa's behavior. But following Lisa's movements, Jack's computer screen naturally swayed up and down to the melody of the song.
"You made me, almost mad, lose my mind,
And you're still gone.
Remember? But I remember what you said on the side of the non-return.
But you tell me that "love" is too vulgar,
You have more ideals. ”
In this way, the two artificial intelligence teams strangely together, looking at the blood moon in the sky together.
"And now, you say you love me...
The luster of the moon stained the entire maritime canal a dark red, and also sprinkled on Hong Yuesheng's face in the cockpit of the manta ray, and he was also looking thoughtfully at the sky at this moment.
The back of a woman with playful short hair, playing and singing to herself with a guitar looms in the light, and the colorful phoenix spreads from her neck to her entire back, constantly opening and closing her wings as her muscles stretch.
The sudden alarm lights in the cabin flashed and reflected Hong Yuesheng's cheeks.
"Warning! The area ahead is polluted beyond the safety level! Please take precautions! Warn... ”
Hong Yuesheng and Baihu both stood up and looked out at their former hometown through the transparent hull.
The manta rays slowly sailed into the pink fog ahead, and the blood moon was gradually obscured, and it became pitch black in front of them, and only the siren sound of "dripping" could be heard - the pollution detector in the cabin had risen to the red heavily polluted area.
The ship turned on its headlights, and the scene illuminated in front of them made the two of them dumbfounded:
The bustling old city neighborhood of the past is full of cheap shops on both sides of the river and traditional old shops in Yaning, and the iconic intertwined telephone poles that resemble groups of dead trees growing wantonly... Today, all that is gone is the crumbling ruins wrapped in pink smoke, the streets that used to be bustling with traffic are deserted, and the few remaining buildings are in a state of devastation and dilapidation. The cobblestone pavement is littered with craters that look like meteorite impacts, and what is even more surprising is that the place is desolate and desolate.
"Welcome home, Your Excellency Hong Yuesheng." The ship is close to the abandoned port, and when Hong Yuesheng and the White Tiger drive the Lionheart Mecha out of the manta ray, Jack reacts accordingly according to the geographical information of Hong Yuesheng's birthplace in the database, but it is embarrassing at this time.
Both men use an internal air circulation purification system that completely isolates the cab from the polluted air outside. The night vision light on the shoulder of the mecha turned on, and wherever the beam of light went, the dense fog was shot through, rolling and spreading out in a vortex shape. Hong Yuesheng pressed the AR (Augmented_Reality augmented reality) button on the control screen, and Lisa, who controlled the mecha, made a "cooing" sound, and then the collapsed building illuminated by the lamppost was erected again, and the broken bricks and tiles floated into the air from the ground, refitting to the ruins of the disastrous, and the barren wall climbed with green vines with scorching sparks, and then a huge fire suddenly erupted from the crater on the ground to the sky.
"Wow!" The white tiger next to him was startled by the burst of firelight, he looked up in the direction where the firelight was flying, left the range of the light, and everything changed back to nothingness.
"Your Excellency White Tiger, please don't worry, this is using image playback technology, and the position and angle of the camera image are calculated in real time, and projected onto the actual scene." The white tiger's rapid heartbeat was detected, Jack explained.
Sure enough, everything I saw just now was actually just Lisa invoking Hong Yuesheng's past memories and superimposing the virtual image on the real environment, everywhere the lights went, everything was like a wound healing, from the ruined ruins to the lively city block, and the time on the display screen in the Lionheart mecha also went back from MY (Meiya Chronicle) 16 years to November MY15.
The colorful neon lights on both sides of the street lit up again, and under an old-fashioned billboard with the words "Dreams Come True" mixed with Yaning and Meda Busuya, it was the young woman with playful short hair who appeared in the lights of Hong Yuesheng, who even had the illusion of smelling the faint fragrance in her ears again—it was her fragrance, which he would never forget.
"Are you back? We've been waiting for you. She smiled, and only when she faced Hong Yuesheng did she reveal the side of the big sister next door.
"You guys?" Hong Yuesheng knew that it was just an illusion in her memory, but she still couldn't help blurting it out.
As he spoke, a little girl as thin as a little monkey, with pale hair and two-colored eyes, and a flesh-colored tail, limped through Hong Yuesheng's body from behind, ran into the light, and took the young woman's hand.
"Reiko..." Hong Yuesheng's eyes suddenly moistened, and then he remembered that in his spare time in the past, Feng Die often asked himself and his sister Hong Lingzi to gather in the old city square, and then wandered aimlessly all day, until the sun set, and then returned to the paradise where all walks of life lingered: his own home in the red light district of Chunzhilan Street.
At that time, Hong Yuesheng always thought that the days would last forever, but she never thought that it would inadvertently become the last time.
Feng Die then led Lingzi and turned away, Hong Yuesheng hurriedly turned the body of the motor armor and adjusted the direction of the light projection, capturing the trajectory of the two walking in his memory and walking into the block, and the white tiger next to him also hurriedly followed.
"Senior sister, take care." Jack transmits an old movie clip over the manta ray, an old-school gentleman standing on a hill reddened by the setting sun, waving goodbye to his lover, with a few zebra crossings swept from time to time.
"Goo~~~" Lisa gave a long response through the loudspeaker on the distant mecha, and the two Lionheart mechs slowly melted into the mist, and Jack's electronic screen kept flipping through the Yaning words in the database, and finally stopped:
"Missing".
Brunhilde looked out through the small window, and the steam of the flames burning in the street downstairs distorted and turned everything evil. Piles of Yaning books and Buddha statues were burned in the fire, and the streets were filled with fanatical Meda Busoyas, holding aloft "Revenge!! (Revenge!!) )”,
“Kill_Yanin_Jerk! (Kill Yaning Dog!) Or the banner or banner of the skull emblem, and though Brunhilde couldn't hear their angry shouts in the enclosed room she was, she could imagine what foul language it was.
A few Yaning people who had the misfortune to not make it to their homes were being humiliated in the streets, and one of the young men who tried to resist was pushed to the ground and then subjected to crushing violence, while his wife knelt on the ground and begged for mercy to no avail.
Brunhilde turned his head, unwilling to look any further.
“Lady_Brynhild,your_visiting_hour_is_over. Please_strictly_follow_the_visitation_rule!
(Miss Brunhilde, your scheduled visitation time has come.) But please be strict with your visiting hours! A white-clad nurse Meda Busoya stepped out of the room and told her in a cold tone.
Brünnhilde nodded, took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the end of the lookout elevator. Entering the elevator and facing the bright, spotless metal walls with her own reflection on it, she suddenly realized that she looked so sad, so she immediately adjusted her mood.
Airplanes~
The elevator let out a low roar and sank downward, as if driving into hell. Brunhilde could faintly hear a hoarse and strange singing voice coming from the direction of the elevator, the lyrics of which no one could understand, but only Brunhilde knew very well:
““BaYushki_baYu.
BogatYr’tY_budesh’svidu,
I_kazak_dushoY.
Provozhat’tebYa_Ya_vYYdu,

Skol’ko_gor’kikh_slez_ukradkoY,
Ya_v_tu_noch’Prol’Yu!...
Spi,moY_angel,tikho,sladko,

After seeing the prompt for the elevator to descend, the cold nurse pressed the button for the end of the day's visit. The steel doors on both sides of the room closed heavily, and a green electronic font appeared on the mirrored door:
"MeYa_Psychological_Treatment_Center (Meiya Psychiatric Hospital)".
