Chapter 45: Jingyu and RKT97
It was late at night when An Tianyu left Jingyu's house. After the private doctor left, he sat by the bed and stayed with Jingyu for a long time.
Looking at Jingyu's face quietly, he seemed to think of the time when this boy first came to his home——
Numb, timid, and lonely.
It was An Tianyu who transformed him from a ragged child into the capable major general he is today.
But the emergence of RKT97 ruined everything.
After leaving Jingyu's house, An Tianyu sat in the car and smoked for a while.
He thought for a long time, and finally, while starting the car, he called Travis.
"General, what are your orders?"
Cui Weis was still in the research department and could hear the ticking sound of instruments in the background.
An Tianyu slowly exhaled the cigarette. Time had not added a trace of frosting to his face, but instead made it look even more profound. "I approve the resurrection of RKT97. It will be carried out immediately."
Cui Weis was stunned for a moment. He even didn't quite believe that it was really An Tianyu calling him on the other end of the phone. He picked up the phone and took a look. After confirming that the caller was "General An Tianyu", he asked again suspiciously: "Are you sure? This requires the flesh and blood of a living person to resurrect."
"Use it."
Cui Weisi let out a breath slowly. After he said "yes", he listened to An Tianyu hang up the phone and shrugged in disbelief: "Could it be that Jing Yu persuaded the general? That's really something."
An Tianyu drove back home. An Chengzhan was practicing shooting in the courtyard. He walked over and stood beside An Chengzhan. He also picked up his pistol, put on his earmuffs, and aimed at the target opposite him. After both of them had used up their guns, they took off their earmuffs at the same time. An Chengzhan asked:
"Dad, you're back."
An Tianyu nodded and looked back at An Chengzhan. He put the gun on the table and asked, "How was school today?"
"It's fine. Captain Black Panther took me out on a simple field mission."
An Tianyu nodded. He looked at his son's eyebrows and eyes, which were almost exactly the same as his own. From the little boy's appearance, he seemed to catch a glimpse of his former self.
He reached out and touched An Chengzhan's head.
"dad."
"What's wrong?"
"RTK97, what the hell is that?"
As soon as An Chengzhan finished speaking, An Tianyu's hand stopped on his head, motionless. After a moment, he slowly retracted his overly sharp gaze, and then touched the disassembled gun on the table again: "Where did you hear that?"
An Chengzhan lied: "Brother Jing said so."
An Tianyu's eyes darkened. He seemed to be weighing something. When the balance in his heart had clearly tilted, he said, "This is not something you need to know."
"But Brother Jing..."
“Bang!”
An Chengzhan wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, he was interrupted by a slap from An Tianyu.
Five bright red fingerprints appeared on the young man's pale face. An Cheng Zhan couldn't believe it. His pupils trembled slightly and his gaze slowly returned to his father, but his father still maintained the posture of a superior, motionless.
This scene is very similar to what happened more than ten years ago.
The day Jingyu left this home.
An Chengzhan blinked twice, and the shadow cast by his brow made his expression look gloomy. At this moment, it was just like that moment. His father was still the same father, and he was still the same little self. And the reason he was beaten was still Jingyu.
More than ten years ago, he was beaten because he told his father that he liked Jingyu and didn't want Jingyu to leave.
At this moment, it still seems to be the case.
"After all these years, Cheng Zhan, why are you still so unimproved?"
This one sentence made An Cheng Zhan's pupils begin to tremble slightly.
He gritted his teeth, his chest rising and falling more violently: "Dad..."
"Don't tell me anything about you and Jingyu in the future. You must keep your distance from him."
"Why, Dad, he's my brother!"
"He's not!"
After saying that, An Tianyu left the courtyard first, and walked towards the villa while unbuttoning his clothes. He had never felt so angry before, and what was even more terrifying was that he realized the reason for his anger -
Jingyu.
An Cheng Zhan still likes Jing Yu.
So many years have passed, and the lives of the father and son seem to have stopped forever because of Jingyu.
"call--"
After a long sigh, An Chengzhan came to the study, locked the door, and sat on the chair. He heard the sound of An Chengzhan coming up the stairs. After the footsteps disappeared at the end of the stairs, An Tianyu suddenly pushed all the books and computers on the desk to the ground.
"Jing Yu...RTK97..."
He looked at the bookshelves that reached all the way to the ceiling, and then fixed his gaze firmly on a white file box in the twelfth row. He walked over step by step and slowly pulled it out from the bookshelf. After fingerprint and iris verification, he unlocked the file box and pulled out a stack of documents.
RKT97 Experimental Report.
His breathing became increasingly rapid, and An Tianyu was like a helpless child. After slowly sitting down on the bookshelf, he turned the pages of the thick book one by one.
Since the twenty-third RKT97's death and resurrection, An Tianyu's gaze has been fixed on that death identification:
"The 23rd cause of death: Penetrating heart injury. Died from a penetrating heart injury while protecting Alpha Task Force member Jing Yu during a mission. His body is well-preserved and suitable for resurrection experiments.
"Recommended measures: Perform cardiac resuscitation on RKT97, provide psychological counseling to Alpha Task Force member Jing Yu, and administer amnesia if necessary.
"Results: RKT97 has been successfully revived. His mobility and memory are intact and he can continue his daily duties. Alpha Task Force member Jing Yu has been amnesticized."
"The 24th cause of death was a gunshot wound to the brain. Betrayed by teammates during a mission, he was kidnapped by a smuggling gang and physically tortured. While rescuing him, Alpha Task Force Captain Jing Yu and his team members, Black Panther and Snake, witnessed the smuggling gang firing at RKT97. He suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was later brought back by Jing Yu.
"Recommended measures: Perform cranial resuscitation on RKT97, administer amnesia to Task Force Captain Jing Yu, Black Panther, and Snake Girl.
"Results: RKT97 has been successfully revived, with no damage to his mobility or memory, and can continue his daily duties. Alpha Task Force Captain Jing Yu, along with team members Black Panther and Snake, have been administered amnestics."
"The twenty-fifth cause of death was five penetrating wounds to the spine. During a mission, while protecting Alpha Task Force Captain Jing Yu, he was attacked by a laser beam and suffered five penetrating wounds to his body. He was later brought back by Jing Yu.
"Recommended Action: Reconstruct the torso of RKT97 and administer amnesia to Task Force Captain Jing Yu.
"Results: RKT97 was successfully resurrected. At RKT97's request, he was amnesticized. He is currently unable to perform normal tasks and requires re-socialization training. Alpha Task Force Captain Jing Yu was amnesticized."
The more An Tianyu watched, the more worried he became. The dark tide hidden in his heart gradually began to surge. He wanted to say something, but it felt like there was a thorn stuck in his throat. Every time he opened his mouth, it seemed as if he was going to spit out a mouthful of blood.
If Jingyu remembers...
Slowly closing his eyes, An Tianyu felt so helpless for the first time in nearly forty years.
Jingyu must hate himself to death, right?
After all, RKT97 was able to die and reincarnate endlessly for him, and he himself...
He was like a rat in the gutter, stealing RKT97's efforts for Jingyu time and time again.
But An Tianyu couldn't do it.
He could neither keep Jingyu's love nor lose her.
Maybe people are just so selfish.
After taking a deep breath, An Tianyu put the information away. He stood up with the help of the bookshelf and was sweating all over when he walked out.
“Click.”
The door of the study was locked. An Tianyu returned to bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He drank a whole bottle of red wine before he finally collapsed on the bed.
An Cheng Zhan sat in his bedroom, staring at the surveillance camera in the room. After seeing his father come out of the study, he slowly opened the door, walked downstairs carefully, and pushed open the door of the study.
