Chapter VI
"Hello everybody......
A little girl appeared on the screen, and a crisp voice came from all over the country through the electronic screen-
"For those of you who are still locked down in Shanghai, and those who are spreading the virus in other cities, I'm Nangong Xiaolu. On the big screens everywhere, the little girl said. People who are still on the streets have raised their heads and stopped, people in those cities that have not yet been infected are still shopping carefree, and at this time they are only looking at the big screen with a little doubt, while those who have fled and hid in the cities that have been endangered are terrified.
All the TV tower lines in the country were out of order, and the TV tower staff were so panicked that they had to stop and look at the little girl who suddenly appeared and was talking on screens all over the country.
"That ......" she paused and coughed lightly, "Listen to me, this virus is not nothing, it is slowly spreading, if people are still living a leisurely life, it is better to hide at home in advance and not go out, once infected with the virus, they will feel uncomfortable, and want to release their own virus, so the contagion will become very strong, if you don't pay attention, it will be a matter of time before a large area falls......"
"How did she know such details?" Li Chongxu looked at the big screen and muttered.
He Juan beside her also showed a puzzled expression: "Yes, why can she know the specific contagiousness of this virus?"
Li Chongxu thought of what Xu Ying said to him on the phone, could it be ...... It won't be ......
Nangong Xiaolu continued: "There are still everyone who has been infected, don't despair, you see, has there been some kind of change in yourself?"
When the infected heard her words, they raised their heads.
"Do you feel like you're getting stronger and your sense of hearing is sharper?"
"Really...... Really!" The infected couldn't help but cry out, they looked at each other, and when they listened closely, they could hear the voices of people thousands of miles away, and even feel the location of the survivors who were hiding.
"Your hands and joints have become hard, and your fingertips have become sharp. ”
When they raised their hands, they realized that their fingertips were long and hard, and some of them still had scraps of steel on their fingernails, which was clear proof that they had pierced the steel alive.
They exclaimed, they didn't expect that they would be able to pierce iron at any time, could it be true that as she said, they had changed?
"Look, do you feel like you're getting stronger?"
"But...... But it's like a monster, and it's going to scare people away!" someone shouted.
“...... Monsters?scare away?"
The corners of Nangong Xiaolu's mouth suddenly hooked up a strange arc, and this expression made Li Chongxu and the others chill for a while.
She said softly: "Now you can crush an ordinary human with a casual wave of your hand, don't you think you are superior?"
There is a certain penetrating power in her voice, which spreads into the listener's heart little by little.
"The trend of species evolution is to become stronger and stronger, and human beings must also follow this law, the weak will be replaced by the strong, natural selection, survival of the fittest, and strong talents are the leaders who rule the new environment. ”
"Yes, yes, she was right. Someone said, "We're stronger than ordinary people, so why should we worry about what they think?"
"Yes, yes...... We are the ones who make the choice, and they should be afraid of us!"
"That's right...... We, we are the new rulers!"
In response, all the infected people responded, and for a while, infected people from all over the country began to gather together and make a voice of approval on the big screen.
At this time, the girl on the big screen spoke again: "Everyone, those ordinary human beings are the ones who will be exterminated, and the new human beings in the new century are the ones who will rule this world again, come on, go and assimilate them, and let us humans enter a new era." ”
"Yes, that's right, we're going to make them like us!" a deafening shout rang out from the street, like a baptism of revolution, and marched in all directions.
They didn't see the girl behind the screen manipulating everything, and they smiled.
Abnormal. It's so abnormal. It's like a crowd of people who have lost their minds being bewitched, manipulated by baseless words.
Only Li Chongxu and He Juan saw it, and that kind of incongruous smile that transcended age appeared on the face of an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, and a chill rushed up her back. Nangong Trail ...... Why did you do that? Was it all the time in disguise? just to wait for this moment to come?
But isn't she a virtual personality materialization? Or is it Rainle's dictation......
.
Far away in a secluded house in the suburbs, there is a little-known experimental site underneath. In the laboratory, there are two people who are nervously doing something, these two people are Xu Wei and Beiyuan Xiu, who escaped death.
Xu Wei was holding a pistol with a metal ring, carefully adjusting the equipment, this was the only weapon that could break it all at the moment, and the two did not dare to be sloppy.
But they were so focused that none of them noticed when the metal door of the lab was opened, and a pair of shoes stepped in.
The instruments placed all over the laboratory made a "drip" sound, masking the footsteps that were almost silent, and when Xu Wei inadvertently looked up, he saw the figure behind him from the reflector, and he exclaimed: "Ah!"
It was a man with a handsome face, with feminine but angular facial features, making it difficult to distinguish gender, and the man spoke in the voice of a young man: "Hello, you are Dr. Xu Wei, right?"
"Ah, you...... Are you ......" Xu Wei was startled, pointing at the young man for a long time and unable to say a complete word.
"What's wrong? Kitahara turned around from the other side, and suddenly saw someone coming, and the metal ring pistol in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and he was also stunned.
The boy turned his head to look at Kitahara: "Hello, when we meet for the first time, you are Dr. Kitahara, the descendant of Nanichiro's assistant." ”
"Are you...... rainle?” Kitahara opened his mouth uncertainly.
"Wait, how did we meet for the first time?" Kitahara suddenly grasped this point of disobedience and became nervous, "Who the hell are you?"
The corner of the young man's lips drew an arc, and his hand pressed to his chest: "I'm Rainle, the first Rainle in your mouth." ”
...... There is no difference in appearance at all, but ......, "You are not Rainle, Rainle and I have met before, and even Xu Wei next to you knows each other, how can you be like meeting for the first time?" He asked.
The smile on the young man's lips did not disappear, and the eyes were like looking at two teenage juniors, making the two of them clench their palms inexplicably.
"So you've met before,......" he said, "and that's fine, so I'll just say it." My name is Zhishi, I am the son of Shanxiongling. ”
He smiled with some vicissitudes: "In this way, I am still an old man who has lived for a long time, time has passed, and now everything has changed, and human beings in a hundred years will be dressed like this." ”
Xu Wei was completely stunned, and Beiyuan finally burst out with a sentence: "That...... What about Rainle? Do you use his body?"
Zhishi tilted his head strangely: "'his' body?haha, you are so humorous, this has always been my body, Rainle is just program code, its purpose is to preserve this body until I wake up again." ”
Kitahara was stunned, he had no idea that there was such a thing. "That'...... rainle......"
"What are you talking about, there has never been such a person as Rainle, they all said that it was just a program, and this body was originally mine. Zhishi tapped his chin with a little doubt, "Strange, why do you feel a little disappointed?"
After a while, Kitahara reluctantly calmed down and asked, "What the hell is going on? Isn't Rainle a human test in the new century?" Why...... Are you a child of the mountain ridge?"
The smile on the corner of Zhishi's mouth gradually narrowed, and his voice revealed a slight coolness: "Off topic, this is not the reason why I came to you, Dr. Kitahara, I am here to ask you to help me." ”
"What?" Kitahara's eyes were wary.
"Don't be so defensive of me, I'm on the side of justice. Zhishi hurriedly waved his hand to clarify, "You have all seen the current situation outside, everyone has begun to kill each other, the virus has broken out in a large area, and it is only a matter of time before it really falls, and the source of all this is the rainlechen code virus, its general controller is the 'Ling' organization that is doing human experiments, we must destroy Ling's experimental base before the virus deteriorates further, as long as the source is killed, the virus will be controlled." ”
"How can I trust you?" asked Kitahara.
The young man smiled, like some kind of subtle ridicule, which made Kitahara extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but say to the young man: "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"I listened to the original words of one of the masterminds' subordinates, 100% credible, or you come out with me, you can find out for yourself what the truth is, Dr. Kitahara?" he said, turning and walking to the door, looking at Kitahara.
Could it be that there is something related to himself outside? Beiyuan looked at Xu Wei, Xu Wei nodded, and the two of them followed the young man out one after the other.
The two followed out of the laboratory, and there were two people standing in the room outside, one of them was a teenager with a cold face and no emotion, and the other was a little older, and she saw the two doctors walking out, and her eyes dodged for a moment, looking away.
Zhishi didn't speak, quietly watching all this, as if waiting for something good, slightly narrowing his eyes, and hooking the corners of his mouth as if out of nowhere.
And the two of them didn't speak for a long time, but the girl on the other side pouted her teeth lowly: "Teacher......" She looked at Kitahara, Kitahara looked at the past with complicated eyes, and an indescribable shock made him completely stunned, and his eyes were as motionless as nailed.
Xu Wei obviously didn't know what was going on, but he could also sense that Beiyuan had some kind of relationship with this girl, and in the end he chose to observe the situation in silence.
He noticed the boy next to the girl, he had seen it at the police station before, that child's name was Bai Mingming, hadn't he been missing for a long time?
On the other side, Kitahara stood in place, his eyes mixed with sadness and joy, and his chest seemed to rise and fall with excitement, but he never spoke. The girl pursed her lips, and after a while, she raised her head, her eyes were no longer confused, and she said: "I am the leaker of the code, it was I who passed the code to Ling, and the organization immediately started the data recovery process, so that the original dead fragment was activated, and the virus was able to spread to the human body." ”
Kitahara looked at her fixedly, and the girl continued, "...... The purpose of the organization is to accomplish the task of releasing the virus, which is why I stayed with my teacher five years ago for this moment. ”
"Teacher......" she looked into Kitahara's eyes, her emotions fluctuating, "Actually, I ......"
"Kami, why you?" interrupted Kitahara, his tone trembling a little, but he tried his best to restrain himself.
The girl gritted her teeth, looked away and said, "Yes, it's me." ”
The tense strings in Kitahara's heart snapped at this moment, and he staggered back a step, holding on to the corner of the table behind him, his eyes constantly intertwined, and Kami shivered in a trembling tone, and said bluntly: "I am a subordinate of 'Rei', and I only became your student to steal information." ”
"Gami ......" Kitahara tried to say something, but Gami didn't give him a chance, and continued: "The teacher has raised me for so many years, to be honest, I am very grateful to you, but in fact, this is only within my plan, and I am reporting your every move, because you have not completely cracked the hidden password of the code, so the organization did not move you, until the appearance of Rainle, the organization decided to give up your chess piece and start from Rainle." ”
“...... That's why you retreated from me with a serious injury?" said Kitahara Muran.
"If I don't, my departure will look suspicious. Gami staggered Kitahara's gaze and looked away.
"No, there were two people in the house at the time, and it was impossible to leave unknowingly......" Suddenly, Kitahara's tongue seemed to be frozen, and after a long pause, he opened his mouth with difficulty, "Ah, is it ......"
He looked at the girl in disbelief, but the latter did not speak, bowing his head.
"You killed their mother and daughter in order to keep their mouths shut?" Zhishi broke the silence at this time, and said lightly on the side.
Such a painless tone stirred up a thousand waves in the hearts of Xu Wei and Beiyuan. Xu Wei blurted out: "Is it really you?
After another moment of silence, Kami suddenly raised her head and looked at Kitahara: "That's right, I killed it." ”
"Is Xiaojun innocent?" asked Xu Wei.
Gami nodded. Xu Wei subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but when he saw Beiyuan's appearance, he became silent again, Beiyuan must be in the same mood as us before now......
"Why do you say that?" said Kitahara, almost with some urgency, as if it would bring him back to life from his numbness.
But Gami didn't give him a chance. "I don't have to lie now, I'm a captive anyway. She simply closed her eyes and said no more.
"So, you deliberately let Xiaojun shoot you?" Xu Wei asked again.
"Let's just say that. She said, "Will you kill me to get revenge?" ”
Xu Wei looked at Beiyuan, and in the end, the decision was left to him, after all, he was an outsider, and it was better for them to solve the entanglement between the two of them by themselves.
Kitahara just took one last look at her, then turned his head away. Kami pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something, her gaze moving with Kitahara, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"Do you believe it this time?" looked at Kitahara with a smile as he watched the lively governance.
Taking a deep breath, Kitahara nodded silently and asked, "So what do you want me to help you now?"
"I want you to hold back Ling's movements, they are now taking advantage of the spread of the virus to take advantage of the opportunity to establish their own power, if left unchecked, I can guarantee without exaggeration that the end of humanity is coming. "You don't want to see that, do you?"
Indeed, as the virus continues to rage, even entire nations, no, the whole world will sooner or later become slaves to the rainlechen code, humanity will cease to exist, and all the countries of the planet will be occupied by the infected, which is not what they, ordinary humans, want to see.
But it was strange to say that from the mouth of a primordial rainle.
"As a rainle, why do you want to help humans?" asked Kitahara.
Zhishi said calmly: "I was also a human at the beginning. ”
"What?" Xu Wei blurted out at the same time as Beiyuan.
"Is there anything wrong with wanting to help humanity because I was a human being?" he asked rhetorically.
It seems that he is not going to explain what he just said, Kitahara thought.
"Then I'll take you as granting my request, two doctors?" he said to the two of them, "there's no time to discuss my business now, saving the world is the main task, what do you think?"
"I see, tell me Ling's main base. Xu Wei asked the girl next to him, "It's impossible for you not to know where it is." ”
The girl glanced at Xu Wei, and then at Beiyuan, there seemed to be a million words in her eyes, but Beiyuan immediately looked away, she flashed a moment of loneliness, and finally spoke in a weak tone: "It's in England, London." ”
"Well, our agreement is reached, let Game take you out of here, and I wish you all the best. Zhishi said with a smile.
"What about you?" asked Kitahara.
Zhishi and Bai Mingming looked at each other and looked at Beiyuan: "I want to stay here, I have my business unfinished." ”
Kitahara just wanted to ask something, but swallowed it back, thinking that what he didn't want to say might not be the truth if he asked, but it was still the right thing. Thinking about it, he and Xu Wei nodded to each other, Xu Wei grabbed Gamei and was about to leave, and the young man who had been controlling Gami said at this time: "Wait, I'll go with you." ”
"You?" Xu Wei asked him, turning his head. The young man ignored his surprise and said, "I have an extra insurance policy with you, right?" ”
The young man's tone was as cold as frost, which made Xu Wei feel cold for no reason, he suddenly felt that this was not a request, but a threat, and he turned his head to see the unpredictable expression on Zhishi's face, and suddenly made a clear idea.
This is a balance between the two sides, either can break the contract, and no one dares to really trust the other.
Xu Wei swallowed his saliva and spoke: "That's what I said, let's go together." ”
Kitahara looked at Bai Mingming, and finally nodded.
A few people left the house, the house instantly became empty and deserted, Zhishi slowly walked out of the house, standing outside the house and looking at the blades of grass dancing in the wind on the suburban grass, with golden light flowing on it, a little dazzling. He muttered softly, "It's time to settle the account between us......"
.
Xu Wei drove the car and drove into the distance in the afterglow of the sunset. On the way, he hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask the young man in the back seat: "Why did you appear with him, I feel that you shouldn't be the original Bai Mingming, right?"
Bai Mingming spoke: "This has nothing to do with you. ”
Xu Wei touched a nail, shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking.
.
He looked out the window at the backward blades of grass, his gaze presettled. At the last moment, according to the masked man's instructions, he took the weapon that could kill Rainle, and after shooting him in the eyebrows, he didn't see the picture he wanted to see, and the young man, not only opened his eyes again, but also seemed to be a different person.
He looked at Bai Mingming and smiled: "Let's make a deal." I know you want to destroy Rainle, but am I really the source of Rainle?"
......
