Chapter VIII
Nangong Xiaolu knew that it was time to confess, and there was no point in delaying it, so he organized the language for a while before saying, "Actually, I'm not a human being. β
Several people were shocked: it was really as the masked man said...... But they carefully recalled everything they had with her in the past, and they felt incredible, no matter how you look at it, this girl is no different from ordinary people.
"Who is that young man who has appeared again and again, and what does it have to do with you?" Xu Ying unconsciously wrinkled his eyebrows.
"That's me. She replied, "He is me, I am him." β
"What do you mean by that?" Xu Ying folded his fingers, propped himself on his thighs, and focused.
Li Chongxu has already pressed the record button.
Nangong Xiaolu said slowly: "I am a substitute personality for him, and I will be mixed in the human society instead of him, so that I can avoid being found by the people of that organization." β
A few people thought about it, no wonder every time that teenager appeared, she would faint inexplicably, could it be that she was changing her personality?
But there are still a lot of doubts......
β...... But after he separated me at first, my existence was not very stable, and it would disappear from time to time, and he couldn't control me well, which caused the energy to leak out uncontrollably...... In the tragedy seven years ago, a telephone pole electrocuted several elderly people, which was caused by me and him. β
Several people were silent for a while, and Xu Ying suddenly said: "But at that time, the surveillance video clearly showed that several mutilated rainles were present, and we also agreed that the murderers were them." β
Nangong Xiaolu looked at him and lowered his eyes: "That's because they tracked me down to Shanghai, and they wanted to find my location along the place where the accident occurred, but they didn't expect that I wasn't at the scene at all, because the energy was too strong and the covering power was too great, so they couldn't determine my hiding place, so they have been wandering around Shanghai for several years, trying to find out me." But after that my existence stabilized, it never happened again, and they disappeared. β
"I see. Xu Ying said in a low voice.
"Speaking of which, I'm a murderer too. She laughed self-deprecatingly.
β...... So, are you Rainle?" Xu Ying asked.
Nangong Xiaolu nodded, and shook his head again: "Rainle is not me, I am just a personality entity, the main role is to replace Rainle to better live in a human way, as for Rainlechen or Rainle production process or something, I don't know anything about the specific information about the program code." β
"I have a question about why the teenager has an independent mind, which is different from the Rainle we've seen before. β
"I don't know. She shook her head.
"Why did he go out of his way to separate an alternate personality to live in disguise as a human being?
Xu Ying asked suspiciously.
"I don't know. Nangong Xiaolu spread his hands, "I don't know anything, I have said everything that should be said, and you can ask him for the rest." β
Xu Ying stared at her for a long time before saying, "That, you...... Can the instant noodles I just ate absorb the same as us? Can I go to the toilet?"
Several people looked at her like they were studying aliens, and although she had expected this, they still had a heartache.
Nangong Xiaolu: "I'm a super simulated human being, this level of physiology can still be done! Hey, it's too rude, you guys!"
"It's amazing. He Juan accidentally said it, and saw Nangong Xiaolu pouting dissatisfiedly.
"Can't you talk to me like you used to?" she said pitifully.
"Well, it's not, it's just that we're shocked. Li Chongxu touched the tip of his nose, "The path is still the same path." β
"Hmph. Nangong Xiaolu raised his head and rolled his eyes.
Then she said to them aggrievedly, "It's so hurtful, I told him to go there and save you!
"Got it, you're right, it's the bad of that mysterious organization, and the path is the best. Xu Ying hurriedly squatted over and touched Nangong Xiaolu's head.
"Team Xu, you know what you should know, you can let me go, right?" she looked at him with teary eyes.
In fact, he didn't ask anything he wanted to ask, Xu Ying thought. But when I asked an innocent little girl like this, I was also a little weak-hearted.
Let's get here this time, he thought at last.
"Okay, you guys hurry home, I'll let Xiao Li drive you. Xu Ying said to He Juan, "Go back and have a good rest, Xiaojun is afraid that he is going to trouble you recently, and half of his body is afraid that he will have to take care of it for several months." β
He Juan nodded, she knew that it was really these big men who were not as careful as they were.
Before leaving, he glanced at Li Chongxu, who nodded.
Xu Ying looked at the taillights that slowly disappeared into the night, frowned, and made a thought in his heart.
Now only Nangong Xiaolu's other identity can bring a breakthrough, and tomorrow, he must ask clearly.
At night, Nangong Xiaolu lay on the bed, her eyes looking at the thick night outside the balcony window, the darkness seemed to lick / her heart, she felt suffocated.
The masked man's last words kept swirling, echoing around the quiet room and pouring into her ears.
You belong to our side...... You'll be back eventually......
rainleγ
You can't escape.
Nangong Xiaolu's eyes widened in the darkness and trembled with fear.
I...... I'm not Rainle, I'm just a normal person, I'm not the one you're going to arrest......
The voices were like poisonous snakes, biting her heart one at a time.
She curled up in the covers, curled up helplessly and in despair.
At this moment, she began to be afraid.
She was not too scared when she met a smuggler before, was caught by the people of the organization, and was about to pierce her heart, and the moment when she dared to run out of the car and was aimed at someone with a gun.
She knew that Rainle had created her, and that he needed her to cover his inhuman identity, so he would surely save her life when she was in danger.
She kept holding on to the thought, feeling safe. As long as he protects himself, he can continue to live in peace, go to school, play games, eat ice cream, and read comics like humans...... Over time, she has come to think of herself as a human little girl so much that she has almost forgotten the task that Rainle implanted in her brain when she was separated from her in the early days - to find a way to crack the hidden code in his body.
Because of this, she had to get close to the organization that captured him, trying to get some information about the rainlechen code, and actively participating in the police to solve the case, so that she broke away from Xu Ying and revealed her identity to the suspect who was caught, just to use the police's hand to catch the organization's shady ......
She wants to continue living her carefree human life, but at the same time she has to carry out a mission.
She's just an embodiment of a virtual personality that has a limited amount of time, and if she doesn't carry out her mission now, she may disappear one day in the future.
But if you really find a way to crack the hidden code, after breaking the hidden code in Rainle's body, you can also have a way to prolong the time of "living", and you won't disappear so quickly.
But during this time, she began to experience dizziness for a short time, and her mind blurred intermittently, and she knew that her time was running out.
If she doesn't hurry up and find the crack code, she may never wake up again the next time she gets dizzy......
I'm really scared, she thought. But every time it was Rainle who was saving her, and when it was time for her to help him, he hesitated all of a sudden.
Can I really make up my mind to leave my human life?
Am I willing to do it?
didn't want to admit that she was just a virtual existence, and the moment she was exposed by Xu Ying, she felt a wave of irritability in her heart.
I don't want to be involved in these things, I don't want to be involved with that organization, I'm just a normal person......
I totally ...... It's perfectly okay to pretend that you don't know anything, don't do anything, and just get through the last human life......
She gritted her teeth and looked out the window in confusion.
In the dream, several corpses suddenly appeared, shot to death, fell in front of him, his eyes widened, and then a person slowly approached and crouched down.
It was a miserable white mask, with crooked eyes and unnaturally cracked corners of the mouth to the base of the ear.
He let out an eerie, hair-raising laugh.
She woke up suddenly, bounced up on the bed, wiped a handful of cold sweat from her forehead, and felt her heart still beating violently and rapidly.
Nangong Xiaolu got up, lay on the bedside table, and picked up a pen.
At six or seven o'clock in the morning, Li Chongxu, who came to take care of Nangong Xiaolu, got up and washed, fried two eggs, mixed bread and milk, walked to Nangong Xiaolu's room and knocked on the door, shouting: "Have you woken up?" β
There was no response for a long time inside, and he opened the door and said, "No, I haven't woken up yet, I'll tell you that I won't go to school today, and I......'ll go to the police station with me."
Pushing open the door, only neatly folded quilts were left on the bed, empty, halfway through his words, his mouth was open, and he was stunned for a while.
His eyes flashed with loss.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a piece of snow-white paper on the bedside table, and he stepped over a few steps to pick it up and take a look.
The handwriting on it was still ugly, and it was written crookedly:
Uncles, I'm going back to that rainle organization, thank you for taking care of me during this time, but I may not have a chance to repay you, I'm sorry.
A cute kitten's head was drawn on the back, and it was also put down in a hurry: Nangong Xiaolu.
Reading it over and over again, he took a breath and let out a long exhale......
He folded the paper in half into a small square and put it in his pocket.
.
On the outskirts, a broken house has a moss on its head, and the four walls are crawling with creepers, which from a distance look like a candy ball wrapped in green.
"Squeak-", the rusty iron door opened, and the green leaves were blown up by the wind and shook like a curtain. A young man hummed a song and walked out briskly with a watering can, watering the greenery in the yard in front of the door.
As he was watering, a dark shadow appeared in the flower pot in front of him, and he turned his head suspiciously, and saw a person standing behind him, who had entered the courtyard at some point.
The girl was wearing a hoodie that buttoned up most of her face, and she was as tall as a man's waist.
"Little sister, is there anything wrong with you?" he asked, looking down strangely.
"Uncle. She took out a thin remittance slip from her backpack and held it up in front of the man's eyes, "I want to ask you something." β
Seeing the list, a light flashed in the man's eyes, and he suddenly smiled, and his tone was peculiar: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, please come in." β
The iron door slowly closed, and finally closed with a "snap", and the hanging branches and leaves swayed.
The first half ends
