Chapter 145 Wei Huizhi

The guarding at the Alien Management Center can be said to be extremely strict, with almost no loopholes. If Shen Ranxin had not obtained the irises of the dean and Lu Yeshan in advance, it would have been difficult for him to even get close to the core area, let alone enter.

But even so, the process of Cheng Cheng and Shen Ranxin sneaking in was very bumpy.

"Can you do it?" Shen Ranxin frowned and looked at Cheng Cheng who was almost discovered. "Your pheromones have been detected by the instrument several times, and it almost set off an alarm. If it doesn't work, why don't you put on another layer of suppression patch?"

"Obviously, this machine is too sensitive." Cheng Cheng pursed his lips and said, "My pheromones are different from Lu Zhi's. I can't control them freely... But why don't your pheromones dissipate?"

Shen Ranxin said expressionlessly: "Is it difficult?"

Cheng Cheng: “…”

"If you weren't still useful, I wouldn't have brought you here." Shen Ranxin whispered, "Where exactly is the place where Lu Yeshan keeps his AIs?"

Cheng Cheng raised his chin. "Two more turns ahead is the core area. The guards inside will be even stricter. Not only are there instruments to detect pheromone concentrations, but there are also people from the Abnormal Control Bureau taking turns on duty. It's very difficult to get in."

"Don't worry about that, let's go." Shen Ranxin said, "If you are discovered, just say you were bored and wanted to take a walk in the middle of the night."

Cheng Cheng: “……?”

Shen Ranxin pulled the mask on his face a little higher and walked towards the corner not far away.

After pausing for two seconds in the blind spot of the surveillance camera, Shen Ranxin said, "Two people will be too conspicuous. Let's split up and cover me when necessary."

Cheng Cheng was silent for a moment, then asked, "You brought me here today just to let me clear the mines for you?"

"Not entirely." Shen Ranxin patted Cheng Cheng's shoulder: "When necessary, you can also be the scapegoat."

Cheng Cheng: “…”

If it was Shen Ranxin, it would be normal.

Cheng Cheng had no choice but to work out an infiltration plan with Shen Ranxin, and the two acted separately.

"The room where Lu Yeshan stores the gene sequence is 7092. To get in, you must have Lu Yeshan's iris information... Wear Lu Yeshan's iris and wait for me here." Cheng Cheng circled a blind spot for the surveillance: "If everything goes well, I will meet you here and then go in together."

Shen Ranxin glanced at the route and nodded.

Cheng Cheng put away the layout map, turned around and ran in another direction.

Shen Ranxin followed the route he remembered and dodged several cameras until he reached the core area.

The police officers from the Abnormal Control Bureau were patrolling back and forth, which was very troublesome, and Shen Ranxin moved very slowly.

It was another visual blind spot. Shen Ranxin rolled quickly on the ground and hid in the corner before the patrolman's eyes turned back.

Cheng Cheng's heavy breathing could be heard through the headset.

Shen Ranxin pressed the microphone and whispered, "There are too many people on patrol. If this continues, we will be discovered sooner or later."

Cheng Cheng pursed his lips and said, "Find a place to hide first, I'll lead them away."

After saying that, Shen Ranxin heard some strange noises not far away.

The police officer who was circling in front of him quickly became alert and ran towards the place where the unusual noise came from.

Shen Ranxin came out from his hiding place and quickly moved towards 7092, sticking to the blind spot of the surveillance camera.

Just when he was about to reach 7092, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Shen Ran was startled for a moment, and without time to look back, he subconsciously gave a hard elbow strike, and raised his left leg to kick the man hard in the abdomen!

The hard elbow hit the man's side hard. Shen Ranxin was very strong. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been lying on the ground by now, unable to even scream.

His left leg was clamped by another hand, and the person coming let out a low groan in his ear.

This voice was so familiar that Shen Ran was stunned for a moment. He turned his head suddenly and saw Lu Zhi's slightly sweaty face, his silver messy hair sticking to his forehead, his chest heaving, and he looked very tired.

Shen Ranxin had no time to think about why Lu Zhi appeared here. Cheng Cheng didn't know how much time he could buy, as the patrolling police officers might come back here at any time.

He grabbed Lu Zhi's collar with his backhand, and touched 7092's intelligent system with his other hand.

The voice of the intelligent system soon sounded. Unlike the cold tone of AI, the voice was crisp and lively. Just listening to the voice made people feel very happy.

"Hello! You've been gone for a long time, I missed you so much! Hey, fingerprint verification error, unable to identify fingerprints... Are you too tired? Did you go to the training ground to practice shooting again? Even your fingerprints have faded. You've worked too hard. Okay, then, please verify the iris."

Shen Ranxin, wearing contact lenses engraved with Lu Yeshan's iris information, leaned over and scanned it.

"Iris verification successful, welcome home."

The mechanical door opened with a hiss, and Shen Ranxin squeezed in carrying Lu Zhi and quickly closed the door.

After finally catching his breath, Shen Ranxin took two deep breaths and only then had time to look at Lu Zhi.

"How did you get out of the detention room?" Shen Ranxin looked down at the blood on his waist and pursed her lips tightly: "What happened?"

Lu Zhi had some minor wounds on his body, which were not serious, but he was bleeding. The scratches on his arms were particularly serious, and there were even some sharp fragments left in the wounds.

Shen Ranxin walked around the house but didn't find what she wanted.

At this moment, the voice sounded again: "Do you need a medical kit? There is a first aid kit in the cabinet in the southeast corner. You can try it."

Shen Ranxin: “…”

The person who was speaking... no, he couldn't be considered a person. Rather, this "ai" who was speaking must be the "thing" that Lu Yeshan had trained using Wei Huizhi's genetic sequence.

He rummaged through the cabinet in the southeast corner and found an emergency medical kit.

"Bear with it." Shen Ranxin took out tweezers and disinfectant alcohol from the medical bag and said, "I'll help you clean the wound and bandage it. It may hurt a little."

Lu Zhi groaned.

"Sir, I don't recommend you do this. According to my monitoring, the glands of the person in front of you are not stable. His pheromones are in a violent state. There is an 80% chance that he will hurt someone due to pain. Please stay away from him."

Shen Ranxin ignored him and focused on using tweezers to remove the small fragments from Lu Zhi's arm, then cleaned it with disinfectant and bandaged it.

The voice didn't speak again, and seemed to be confused.

After Shen Ranxin bandaged Lu Zhi, she asked, "Did you escape from the detention room?"

Lu Zhi frowned, as if he didn't understand what Shen Ranxin meant.

"...It looks like he punched the door of the detention room. No wonder the dean said you escaped many times when you were imprisoned before." Shen Ranxin patted Lu Zhi's head: "Is our little one so powerful?"

Lu Zhi pinched Shen Ranxin's wrist and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll pick you up."

Shen Ranxin didn't hear clearly, and tilted his head slightly: "What?"

Since losing control, Lu Zhi's social behavior has been gradually degenerating, including language, intelligence, behavioral habits, etc., and is more like primitive animal behavior under the control of pheromones.

But he still frowned at this moment, trying hard to express his meaning to Shen Ranxin.

"I'll pick you up." Lu Zhi paused for a moment before continuing, "Go home."

Shen Ranxin helplessly tapped Lu Zhi's palm: "Be good, Zhizhi, I have something to do and will go home right away, okay?"

Lu Zhi held his hand in return, lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against the back of Shen Ranxin's hand: "Accompany."

Shen Ran was surprised to understand Lu Zhi's brief Chinese. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. "You ran away from the detention room. Who knows what the situation is like in the Alien Management Center and the Alien Control Bureau right now... Well, then you stay here with me. When I finish dealing with things, I'll take you home, okay?"

Lu Zhi nodded, lowered his eyes, and inserted his fingers into Shen Ranxin's fingers. After tightly interlocking their fingers, he stood beside him with satisfaction and obedience, and began to stare blankly.

Shen Ranxin stood up, walked around the room twice, and asked tentatively: "Wei Huizhi?"

"You know my name?" The voice sounded again, sounding very happy: "Except for Third Brother, no one has called my name for a long time."

Shen Ranxin paused for a moment and said, "Where are you? Come out and see me."

"I'm right in front of you." Wei Huizhi's voice calmed down: "This is all me. I, I am the house you are in."

The black screen in the center of the room jumped, and with a hissing sound, a thin boy in a military uniform appeared.

He looks very young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with handsome features, round eyes, and a lively look. His fangs and dimples that show when he smile make him look approachable.

Shen Ran was stunned for a moment. In fact, none of the facial features of the person in the picture were top-notch if taken individually, but when put together, they were inexplicably likable and made people like them at first sight.

"Is he your partner?" The person on the screen came a little closer, but only slightly enlarged the face. He was like a person trapped in a TV, and the world was only that small area on the screen.

Shen Ranxin reacted and nodded quickly: "Well... my wife is quite clingy, please forgive me."

"Ah, he's so cute." Wei Huizhi propped up his chin and stared at Lu Zhi: "It would be nice if Aqing could be as cute as him. Well, Aqing is just cold, and a cold Aqing is also good."

Shen Ranxin: “…”

If nothing unexpected happens, the A Qing mentioned by the AI ​​should be Shen Ziqing, right?

Wei Huizhi's face on the screen was tinged with confusion: "What's wrong with you? You look very bad."

Shen Ranxin: "Nothing, just a little nausea."

Wei Huizhi looked worried: "Want to vomit? Do you have a baby?"

Shen Ranxin: “…”

"Come to think of it, your eyebrows and eyes are very similar to A-Qing's." His tone became fainter and fainter, staring at Shen Ranxin's face in a daze: "The eyes are also similar."

How could it not be similar?

Shen Ranxin silently complained in his heart.

I am the son of your old lover.

Although I don't want to admit it at all.

Shen Ranxin took a deep breath, walked to the computer screen and started operating the code.

Wei Huizhi asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to find a way to get you out." Shen Ranxin held Lu Zhi's hand with one hand, and quickly typed on the keyboard with the other hand: "Then use you to threaten Shen Ziqing and ask him to perform a small operation on our baby."

Wei Huizhi: “…”

It's so strange. I can't understand what this human in front of me is saying.

Shen Ranxin tried for a long time but found that there was no way and had to give up with regret.

He looked at Wei Huizhi's face and said, "Can you tell me what happened between you and Shen Ziqing back then?"

Wei Huizhi paused and said softly: "Then can you tell me, how is Ah Qing doing after I left? Is he doing well? Will he be sad if he can't see me?"

Shen Ranxin raised an eyebrow: "Why are you asking these questions?"

Wei Huizhi stood on the screen and said, "I miss him very much."

"But you are not a human." Shen Ranxin tapped the keyboard with his knuckles. "I just checked. You are just a piece of AI. A small piece of human genetic code was implanted into you, and then a large amount of simulation data was input. It was just a robot that was debugged. Missing someone does not exist in the robot's program."

Wei Huizhi was silent, several expressions flashed across his face, and finally he calmed down.

Perhaps Shen Ranxin's question made him a little confused and he couldn't answer.

Shen Ranxin said, "It's like this. I don't mean to disrespect anyone. If you were the real Wei Huizhi, I would definitely be polite to you, but I feel that... you've been gone for so many years, and the only remaining DNA in the world is being used for something like this. If it were you, you would be very angry too."

The robot remained silent and tilted its head.

Shen Ranxin didn't waste any time talking to him. He lowered his head and searched for the code related to past memories in the robot's vast source code.

Since it is an AI bred with Wei Huizhi's genes, it will definitely have some of Wei Huizhi's memories, but it is hard to say whether it is complete or not.

Shen Ranxin searched for a long time and finally found the code he wanted.

He extracted the code and copied it to his own optical computer.

Then he pulled Lu Zhi and turned to leave. Wei Huizhi showed a look of pain on his face: "Are you leaving?"

Shen Ranxin paused, turned to look at Wei Huizhi on the screen, and suddenly grinned: "Do you want to hear a story?"

Wei Huizhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled happily: "Okay."

Shen Ranxin walked back and his fingers started moving rapidly on the keyboard.

As he typed on the keyboard, he began to speak: "Once upon a time, there was an ugly duckling. The ugly duckling was born ugly and no one liked him. He was bullied by other ducks since he was a child."

A look of pity appeared on Wei Huizhi's face accordingly.

"He had no choice but to leave his mother and wander around alone, encountering strong winds, heavy rains, and hunting dogs..."

The expression on Wei Huizhi's face turned into tension.

"But the ugly duckling was not afraid. He fought hard and studied hard."

"Eventually, people discovered that although he was not good-looking..."

Wei Huizhi laughed: "What a good story..."

“But it’s still delicious.”

Wei Huizhi: “…”

"You see, AI can never replace real humans." Shen Ranxin paused and said, "Because sometimes people are much more inexplicable than AI."

"Okay, self-destruct program, start." Shen Ranxin pressed the enter key and whispered, "You're welcome, Wei Huizhi."
