306 The Eleventh Store
◎ "It was the dog that died."◎
Lu Yao looked up and saw the message screen suspended in the air. The messages were scrolling so fast that he couldn't see the words clearly. They were so dense and so fast that they left afterimages.
The number of real-time online users in the upper right corner of the screen had soared to 30 million, and the popularity of the background was also rising at a speed that Lu Yao had never expected.
Lu Yao was a little surprised, and the slight expression on his face could not deceive anyone.
The knight sat opposite Lu Yao, propping his chin with one hand, resting his free hand on the edge of the table, tapping the tabletop with his fingertips twice: "You are not afraid at all."
The tone of the statement made the knight feel a little confused, and he did not hide it: "You are not calm like a native human."
Lu Yao could only move his eyes and mouth, blinked, and asked calmly: "How should a native human react?"
AO-17 sat next to Lu Yao and said first: "When the number of viewers in the live broadcast room reaches 50 million, we will open your head on this table. All your secrets, despicable thoughts, embarrassing, ugly and cowardly past will be unfolded in front of tens of millions of people, leaving no room for anything. If you kneel down and beg, I might agree to leave you basic dignity."
----
Gu Mangxing, Green Building Nursing Home.
Kuang Li stayed alone in the ward, staring at the suspended light screen without blinking. After listening to the vile words of the threatening person, he couldn't help but think of the scene when the prisoner seduced him. He
just wanted to see his ugly side and then completely crush him mentally.
Kuang Li looked at the shop owner on the screen. Her situation was even more dangerous than his. Just as the prisoner said, she was so calm that she didn't look like a native.
Or, did she have any life-saving trump card?
Kuang Li quickly dismissed this idea.
Even if she was a rare native high-level psychic, facing so many brutal criminals and having her ability to move deprived, she would not be able to resist no matter how capable she was.
How cruel the criminals in Guandao are is unknown to others, but Kuang Li, who was deeply hurt, knows it very well.
But why is she still so calm?
Outside the bookstore, 0022, who was isolated in the bookstore street, was also confused.
Facing the arrogant declaration of the criminals, the young store owner still did not show any fear or terror.
In the suspended light screen, the store owner moved with difficulty, trying to turn around and look at the person next to him, but gave up when he couldn't move.
Unable to find a place to focus his sight, Lu Yao could only continue looking at the knight opposite him, his calm tone hinting at helplessness: "I've been cooperating since just now. If you want to know about me, why not just ask directly? Why do you have to do such a cruel thing?"
AO-17 likes to see victims frightened and collapsed in fear. The owner's reaction was completely different from his expectations. He suddenly slammed the table: "Who wants to talk to you? It's all lies anyway."
Lu Yao sighed: "No need to make such a loud noise to scare people. I said I'll cooperate, so I won't lie."
Without waiting for AO-17 to respond, Lu Yao continued: "Recently, I have occasionally wondered why some robots are keen on opening other people's brains. If you want to understand a person, you will want to know what he thinks, wants, likes and worries.
"The development of machinery and technology seems to have created a shortcut for humans to understand others. They think that as long as they open a person's brain and see what a person thinks, worries and fears, they will completely understand this human being.
"Unfortunately, this shortcut does not seem to bring much positive significance. At least on this prison island, you have been trying to repeat this meaningless behavior."
For some reason, AO-17 became irritated: "What do you want to say?"
Lu Yao: "You opened the brain of a stranger and saw his life so far. You seem to have completely seen through this person. However, the relationship between you is a little worse than strangers.
"Your unilateral violent behavior is like crushing a bug. You are actually excited about dissecting open the brain of a bug. What a lonely individual you must be.
"You kill bugs, lots of bugs, and you keep looking for the next target. You keep repeating the act of hunting bugs, but your heart never seems to be satisfied. Have you ever thought about the reason?"
AO-17 was almost confused. He didn't expect the store owner to be so talkative.
The knight opposite was thoughtful.
0815 on the airship exhaled slowly. The store owner delayed time in a way he didn't expect.
Lu Yao was tightly wrapped in mental threads, his limbs were tied, and he could only continue chatting: "Dissecting a person's brain and knowing everything about him does not mean that there is a connection between you. Because there is no equal communication between you, it's just a one-man show from beginning to end."
Lu Yao raised his head slightly, looked directly into the knight's eyes, his expression was gentle, and his voice was firm: "I'm not afraid of being peeped into my brain, but I'm obviously sitting here. As long as you are willing to chat with me calmly, you can understand what I think, what I like and what I want. Why do you have to take that kind of inaction approach?
"I was just wondering why you handed me "Flowers for Algernon" when you talked to me. People choose their favorite meanings from the words of poets, but the ultimate meaning of the poem is directed at you (1).
"Charlie Gordon received an experiment and gained a superior IQ. The world in his eyes began to change. But in the end, he did not get what he wanted most. Some things are just unreasonable. For example, when you want to understand a person, you can easily dissect his brain, but you still have to devote your true heart to gain something."
AO-17 kicked the table angrily: "I don't understand what you are saying at all."
The knight lowered his eyes, raised his feet in boredom, and suddenly asked: "When I said I liked you just now, you said you had someone you liked. Who was it?"
AO-17 turned his head in shock and looked at the knight. His mechanical eyes blinked rapidly, unable to understand this question.
The number of real-time online viewers in the live broadcast room has exceeded 35 million, but at least 90% of the audience were worried about the store owner's situation just now, and were suddenly confused by this brilliant direction.
What the hell?
The criminal confessed to the store owner and was rejected?
It was obviously a big event that could make the headlines, but why did it suddenly turn to the direction of gossip tabloids.
For some reason, the spiritual power threads wrapped around Lu Yao began to change. The messy threads that originally bound her tightly were divided into several strands, twisted together into the shape of a chain.
The store owner had chains hanging around his neck, wrists and ankles.
Compared with the state of being unable to move just now, this is much more comfortable.
Lu Yao shook his wrist lightly and waved to Lingliu who was standing not far away.
Lingliu was not in the live broadcast area originally, but he saw Lu Yao's gesture and moved slowly over.
When he came to the table, Lu Yao bent down and picked him up, proudly introducing him to the Knight: "He is the person I like."
No matter how sophisticated and scheming the Knight was, he almost couldn't control his anger for a moment.
He was really moved by her words just now, and planned to sit down and have a good chat with her.
The Knight did not give up his plan to dissect the brain live, but he was more cunning and cruel than AO-17. He was just teasing the owner, giving her hope first, and then watching her despair.
He saw that although the owner was young, her psychological quality was far superior to that of ordinary people, which made him want to see her lose control even more.
Unexpectedly, he was the one who was fooled. His anger was aroused, and the handcuffs that bound Lu Yao tightened by two points.
Outside the bookstore, the airship of District 8 was parked on the roadside.
0815 was about to get up, but he saw the owner solemnly confessing his love to the cleaning robot, and he coughed in shock.
Jilan turned his head and looked at him: "She is trying her best to save herself, don't delay. I will break the mental barrier, and you take her out quickly."
Only Jilan and 0815 came from District 8.
The director of management is not a decoration. As long as the mental barrier is broken, 0815 has the means to rescue the owner from a group of highly intelligent and powerful robot criminals.
0815 had no objection to the director's instructions. He carried the laser/cannon barrel in one hand and walked off the airship. There was a small screen left on the star ring to observe the situation in the store in real time.
Lu Yao received a notification from the Dream Fulfilling System.
She heard that the powerful District Eight Management Director had already arrived at Bookstore Street, and she also wanted to see the ability of the director-level prison guards. She pressed the unissued instructions and solemnly told the Knight and millions of netizens about her encounter with the mini cleaning robot.
Interstellar netizens and robots don't have much love/desire to begin with. They were shocked by the owner's unusual preferences, and thought she must be joking.
The Knight didn't listen to the owner's nonsense at all. He noticed it as soon as Jilan got off the airship. He turned his head and looked out the French window, but didn't take it seriously.
Not far away, the eight guards who stayed in the bookstore were gradually becoming invincible. Their mechanical bodies suffered devastating damage and lost their ability to move.
Zhu Wei and Xi were still struggling with four prisoners in the book exhibition area.
Because of the arrival of the eighth district management director, the prisoners who were cleared out of the guard prison did not enter Zhu Wei and Xi's battlefield, but turned and walked out the door.
The knight looked down at Lu Yao from a high position, and said in a relaxed tone: "In order to hunt you, we really put a lot of thought into it. So even the management director with a 5S level of mental value can't break through today's mental defense barrier. Speaking of which, the inspiration for this gameplay still comes from you. The bookstore has a theme live broadcast every few days, and the sky is full of fun. Those lofty ideas are not impossible to realize. Thinking of this, I really don't want to dig into your brain."
Lu Yao held the chubby Zero Six in his arms and tilted his head to look out the floor-to-ceiling window.
The mental barrier that descended from the sky was dark gray, blocking out light and not allowing for very good vision.
Lu Yao saw a robot she had never seen before standing with 0815.
That should be the director of management of District 8.
The vision was too blurry and too far away, so Lu Yao couldn't see the director's movements clearly. She only saw the dark gray barrier in front of him appear and disappear from time to time, but every time it was about to disappear, a prisoner would reinforce it, making it difficult to break through for a while.
AO-17 suddenly stood up, walked to the aisle, picked up the head of a guard, took out an electronic computer, and walked back happily: "Before the fifty million, let's have an appetizer."
Lu Yao frowned and moved his fingertips slightly.
Not far away, Zhu Wei and Xi simultaneously sensed something strange, as if a trumpet was blowing inside their bodies, which shocked the two who were struggling to hold on, and they looked back at the owner at the same time.
The owner was still trapped in the live broadcast room, holding Lingliu in his arms, and did not meet their eyes.
However, the two received an order in their minds at the same time: "Recover the electronic computers of the eight prison guards."
In the repair department, which was three streets away from Bookstore Street, Yuan, who was forced into a mental hibernation capsule, suddenly opened his eyes.
District 8, Bookstore Street.
A voice was calling him.
The repair department has received news that the bookstore was forcibly isolated by prisoners in District 3 and the owner was kidnapped. They are logistics personnel, have no combat power, and will not go to rescue. They are driving the Star Ring to pay attention to the situation of the bookstore.
There was a loud explosion outside the door, and several repairmen ran out, only to see a few backs hurriedly leaving.
03 recognized Yuan's mechanical body, his scalp tingling, and immediately reported to the repair team leader.
The situation on Bookstore Street is not optimistic, and six prisoners have escaped from the repair department.
When Jilan received the news, he was rarely silent for a moment.
Inside the bookstore, AO-17 was struggling with Zhu Wei, and Xi took advantage of the situation to snatch the electronic computer from him.
Except for the knight, the six people who originally surrounded Lu Yao all went out. Four people surrounded Xi who was holding a full arm of electronic computers, and two people dealt with Zhu Wei.
Zhu Wei and Xi's mental strength and combat experience were not as good as those of the prisoners in the third area, but with the help of the store owner, they fought against several people alone and fought back and forth in a short time.
Xi had to protect several electronic computers, so she couldn't move freely and ran around the store.
Lu Yao didn't know how long it would take for the six people to come over. The mental chain that bound her was imposed with special rules, and it was difficult to break free for a while.
Zhu Wei and Xi had no problem protecting themselves, but they also had to protect eight electronic computers, so they might not be able to hold on for too long.
The knight caught a glimpse of the anxiety in the owner's eyes. He put his long legs on the corner of the glass table, leaned back on the chair, and ordered: "The owner asked me to read two more books last time. Why don't you read two new books for me and 45 million netizens now?"
Lu Yao blinked, hiding his emotions. He was neither angry nor humiliated. He raised his hand and took out a book from his portable warehouse: "I just got a new book last night and plan to put it on the shelves in two days. Since there are many people today, I will make an exception and open the trial reading service in advance."
The bookstore was in chaos inside and outside. In the live broadcast room, the owner put Zero Six on the seat next to him, lowered his head and opened the books that had not yet been officially put on the shelves. He read leisurely as he usually did in his daily live broadcasts to introduce new books.
Lu Yao did not read the first fifty pages directly, but only read the passages she liked.
When she read Walter's last words, a rumbling sound like a building collapsing sounded.
The knight, who was in a trance, turned his head and looked out the French window.
Bright light shone through the cracks in the broken gray wall. Six strange robots quickly passed through the collapsed mental barrier and attacked the bookstore.
After Lu Yao finished reading the sentence "It was the dog that died (2)", he slowly closed the book, glanced at the number in the upper right corner of the suspended light screen, and said as a reminder: "It has reached 50 million."
