Don't pick up the wild people on the roadside (20)
"Host, you know very well that thing is not a character in the original novel. It is an unexpected product and can easily cause problems in the plot."
"If that's true, the plot had already gone astray when Yun Qing ran to the lower city. Why didn't you stop him then? With your ability to devour the world consciousness, it's impossible for you not to stop him."
Time goes back to the first night Jiang Tang came to Jiang Yuan's house.
Because of Yun Qing's arrival, they originally wanted to let the guest stay in the bedroom, but at Yun Qing's insistence, they spent an afternoon turning the sofa into a bed. In this way, Yun Qing lived in the living room and Jiang Yuanshi still stayed in the bedroom.
Due to insufficient technology, the production of the robot was temporarily put on hold, and everyone took turns washing up and taking a rest.
Yun Qing pulled B33 to watch TV at 8 o'clock in the evening. Jiang Tang, who kept saying that she had never watched TV, also sat on the sofa, while Jiang Yuanshi went back to the bedroom to sleep.
Jiang Yuanshi closed the door and did not lie down on the bed. Instead, he came to the wall and touched the wall with his hand. I wonder what he was thinking?
Just as he was thinking, the wall lit up and Z01's voice appeared, expressing his disapproval of Jiang Yuanshi's behavior of "taking Jiang Tang back home".
The two argued calmly but could not reach a consensus.
Finally, Jiang Yuanshi said tiredly: "Before you blame me for bringing Jiang Tang back, answer my previous question first. Why did you let Yun Qing come here? Also, when I asked B33 to ask for your opinion, you said you agreed. Why do you regret it now?"
The code glowed and moved impatiently on the wall. Z01 replied calmly, "Because the cloud host did not appear on Planet C, but on the lower city of Planet A where you are. As for your opinion, I did not receive any message."
ah?
Jiang Yuanshi took a breath and leaned half of his body against the wall. "According to you, Yun Qing and B33 are both lying? Then what are they trying to achieve?"
If it's true, Yun Qing's acting skills are too perfect compared to B33.
"He is not lying." Z01 denied Jiang Yuanshi's guess. "The system can detect abnormal conditions on the host, including lie detection. The data proves that the cloud host is not lying. What he said is his memory, or he believes that his series of experiences of leaving Planet C and coming to the upper city of Planet A and entering the lower city through the company are all real. But when I met the new host, I was already in the lower city."
"Are you saying that Yun Qing's memory has been tampered with?"
"The possibility of tampering reaches 70% probability."
"Then why didn't you say it yesterday?"
“That’s the problem.”
?
Jiang Yuanshi didn't understand what Z01 was saying. When he was about to ask the next question, a black and red chain stretched out from the wall and wrapped around Jiang Yuanshi's wrist. Jiang Yuanshi couldn't help but shudder and asked, "Z01, what are you doing?"
"You should tell me what I'm going to do."
"Where did it come from?" Jiang Yuanshi recovered and shook his wrist curiously. The chain swayed silently with the movement. He said, "This thing has no weight at all, and there is no sense of touch."
Jiang Yuanshi moved his bound hands and straightened the chain: "It's so strange, I can't feel the touch, but I can feel the pulling force, so what are you going to do?"
"Host, you were locked up yesterday."
Jiang Yuanshi paused shaking his wrist, his hand stagnated in mid-air, and Z01 continued speaking, "And what are you looking for by touching the wall now?"
Jiang Yuanshi said with some hesitation: "I came to this world..."
"Do you mean to say that when I came to this world, I was in this small room behind the wall, and when I came out, I could no longer open it."
"……"Z01 had already said everything, Jiang Yuanshi chose to shut up and nodded.
Z01: "You said the same thing yesterday, but you don't seem to remember it."
Facing the current situation, Jiang Yuanshi said calmly: "Ah, I lost my memory."
Why do you sound like you don't care about anything else? Z01 was confused.
"But I don't have the feeling that I'm gradually being replaced by Jiang Yuan?" Jiang Yuanshi tried hard to recall what happened yesterday.
When I opened the door, I encountered a scumbag trying to scam me. Yunqing appeared. I pushed a cart with Yunqing to take the scumbag to a black clinic and was blackmailed for 3,000 yuan. I still owed 5,000 yuan, with 250 yuan left. I took a shower, picked up trash, worked as a robot, and slept at night.
He still remembered that B33 accompanied Yunqing in making complaints, and Yunqing got soaked when testing the water temperature while taking a shower, and ended up using a quick-drying cabinet.
"I don't seem to have any memory of chatting with you." Jiang Yuanshi asked, "When did you chat with me?"
Z01's mechanical voice sounded strangely stiff, and each word was emphasized: "It's between the two things you mentioned."
Uh... Jiang Yuanshi smiled awkwardly and said, "That's too unfortunate."
Z01: .
Jiang Yuanshi scratched his head: "That's all I talked to you about, nothing else?"
Z01: "Yes, you turned on the collar to release pheromones at my suggestion, and then a connection line appeared on the wall, but you failed to match it and did not give a reason."
"You can't invade?"
"No, you asked me the same question yesterday."
“…I see. Sorry.”
Jiang Yuanshi didn’t understand why he had to apologize, maybe because the thing on the wall was about to be twisted into a knot?
"Can I try releasing the pheromone connection again this time?"
"Not recommended. The original owner has glandular disease. Excessive release of pheromones can cause illness. I just took the liberty of performing a body scan on you. I estimate that if you release pheromones one or two more times, you will become ill."
"Two or three times is considered high?"
“That’s what the data shows.”
Okay.
Jiang Yuanshi took his hand away from the wall, turned around and fell onto the bed, burying his entire face in the quilt.
Z01: "Host, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yuanshi made a muffled sound from under the quilt: "There is no good solution anyway, so why not take a rest first and go to sleep if you are undecided."
Z01: "..."
Jiang Yuanshi buried his head in the quilt and asked the other party if he had anything else to say.
Z01 added: "I still think you shouldn't give that accidental product a name."
Jiang Yuanshi silently propped himself up with his hands: "Why?"
"Because in the world of novels, NPCs or foreign objects that are given names will have character identities, which will have an irreversible impact on the plot, and may even cause the plot to deviate completely. If you give it a name, even with the same surname, it will not benefit the original owner or you."
Jiang Yuanshi turned over and said, "But I have already taken it. Things have already happened. Time cannot be reversed. Do you want me to spend my willpower on such a thing?"
Z01 fell silent.
Jiang Yuanshi faced the ceiling and asked boldly, "Hey Z01, you said that once you mention a name, it will take effect in this world. So, can the system and the host take effect?"
Z01: "There are no cases that cannot be analyzed, and the results remain to be seen."
"How about doing an experiment and giving it a try?"
"There's already a Jiangtang, please don't take any more risks."
The experimental idea was overturned, but Jiang Yuanshi did not refute it and compromised directly. Z01 felt that he was not as relieved as he expected. However, before he had time to study it in detail, Jiang Yuanshi asked another question: "Z01, can you analyze the internal components of Jiangtang?"
"Okay, but did you find anything?"
"It's just a little strange that such a small robot suddenly appeared, and it looks so much like a human. It feels like he is the one who has awakened. Are all artificial intelligences in this world so powerful? The smaller the thing, the harder it is to make. Besides, Jiang Tang's shell is very hard, without a single scratch. Unless he is a newborn, it is impossible for it to be so new, not to mention that he lives in a dangerous area."
"Why did you pick it up when you knew it was wrong?"
"I feel like since we're here, and he's so eager to rely on me, it's better to keep him by my side rather than let him secretly follow me later. Besides, I still have you. If something really happens, you should be able to protect Yun Qing, right?"
Z01 didn't say anything. When Jiang Yuanshi's eyes were about to narrow, the chain wrapped around Jiang Yuanshi's ankles and twisted a little bit. He sighed, "You never seem to think about yourself."
Jiang Yuanshi eventually fell asleep. Z01 couldn't express his inner feelings, and just let the crisscrossing chains surround Jiang Yuanshi, "Please don't forget again."
Fortunately, Jiang Yuanshi had a clear memory when he woke up the next day. He and Z01 did not mention this matter to anyone. Jiang Yuanshi continued with his schedule and learned from the robot uncle. Z01 recorded the map based on the area that Yun Qing walked during the transaction. At the same time, he scanned the chip of Yun Qing and Jiang Tang while they were playing.
Z01 compared the Shangcheng District robot chip with the scanned Jiangtang chip and found that the overall design of the Jiangtang chip was similar to that of ordinary robot chips, but the driving core was different. After querying the surrounding and world information, he determined that the Jiangtang chip was unique, there was no duplication, and the maker could not be found.
Jiang Yuanshi, who had been studying for a few days, looked at the amplified circuit without saying anything. He shook his head and said to Z01, "I have no idea, and I'm not sure whether it will be controlled by the company."
This is a fairly good finished product. Jiang Yuanshi was a little itchy to open it and take a look, but he finally held back. It would be bad if there was something □□ inside.
"Compared to these, I have another discovery." An image lit up on the wall. The photo showed Jiang Tang climbing out of the window. It was 2 a.m., a time when everyone was asleep.
"Where did he go?"
"The range I monitored was limited, but the last direction he took was an alley. He may have returned to the danger zone again."
Jiang Yuanshi sighed, somewhat helplessly: "I found that your words were really ambiguous. If I had told the other party that there was a problem at the beginning, maybe I wouldn't have to argue with you for so long."
Z01: "But even without evidence, your behavior is dangerous."
Jiang Yuanshi stretched out his hand: "Stop, I understand you just want to argue with me and start a debate, so what should we do next?"
"?"
Jiang Yuanshi changed the topic from a flat road to a big mountain valley. Z01 was almost thrown out, but he managed to catch up and started a peaceful discussion with the other party.
Jiang Yuanshi and Z01 usually chat before going to bed, so that when B33 is accompanying Yun Qing, Z01 can turn on the shielding and virtual modes to create the illusion that Jiang Yuanshi is asleep. Unless the superiors intervene, no creature will notice.
It was also because of this that when Jiang Tang quietly climbed out the window and left again at around 2 a.m., Jiang Yuanshi followed him out calmly, holding a robot's square head in his arms.
In fact, Jiang Yuanshi had almost installed the robot's head. In order to avoid other people and take Z01 with him, he simply installed the head overnight.
With the help of Z01, he caught up with Jiang Tang. It must be said that the speed of the candy box was beyond imagination. When moving forward, the legs could be folded into a rolling belt and drive directly onto the road.
The candy box walked quickly in the dark alley, without fear, rushing straight ahead, then passing the garbage dump and turning into another alley opposite.
It was still a dark alley, but after walking 2,400 meters, it became brightly lit.
Jiang Yuanshi saw the two gangs standing together in harmony under the streetlight. When the candy box appeared, they all stood up and said respectfully, "Leader!"
leader.
"Chief, I never thought such a small candy box could be the leader."
Jiang Yuanshi wiped the blood from his hands and threw the One-Eye Man over. When he was about to hit their leader, one of the robots in the gang stepped firmly on him and stopped him.
"You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
"Of course I want to live, otherwise how would I live this long?"
The frivolous tone made the gang members even more angry. When the other party wanted to rush forward, the leader said, "Stop it."
"But Boss..."
A red line appeared on the screen of the candy box, and the restless people quieted down and stopped talking.
Jiang Yuanshi waved the broken knife in his hand and said nonchalantly: "No need. If you want to fight, I'll accompany you. Of course, it's not that I'm arrogant, but I have the confidence to destroy you. If you don't believe me, check the one-eyed man to see if the line is broken or if he is poisoned."
"That's impossible, you just have a broken knife!"
Jiang Tang: "That's not an ordinary knife. Did you modify a knife?"
Under the light, the blade flashed complex patterns as Jiang Yuanshi swung it, and the circuit ran from the handle down to the broken end.
"I'm not a skilled person. Rather than modifying it, I'd rather learn how to make some viruses on my own." Jiang Yuanshi used his injured hand to spin the knife like a flower, as if he didn't feel any pain at all. "As long as you have metal and a drive on your body, this knife will be contaminated with poison if it touches you. The only bad thing is that there is only one of this kind. After all, I made it by accident. I tried many times afterwards but didn't succeed. It's a one-off."
The gang members had serious expressions. To them, who were robots or almost machines, this knife was like a virus.
"The boss must die!"
"Oh, I almost forgot." Jiang Yuanshi pretended to be surprised and said with a smile, "Even the handle of this knife is poisonous. Unless you wear insulating gloves, it can only be used by intact humans. It's really unfortunate that none of you... seems to be healthy."
"you!"
The other side kept talking to each other for a long time, and finally had something to say after seeing Jiang Yuanshi's suppression ring. They said proudly: "No matter how powerful he is, he is still an Omega who can't even control his own pheromones."
"Yes, after the scan, it's still an O with glandular disease."
"It's so funny, no wonder the knife is poisonous, he himself has an infectious disease."
"Will you ever find an Alpha to have sex with you in this lifetime? Huh? Hahahahaha!"
For a moment, embarrassing and obscene words filled the air, but Jiang Yuanshi remained unmoved. He just yawned and said, "That's better than you, who can only marry your right hand, or are eunuchs who have lost their sexual function, or eunuchs who have no sexual function."
"Who are you talking about? Can I make you cry?"
Jiang Yuanshi rolled his eyes: "Oh, then your skills are pretty poor."
"You bastard!"
"Quiet!" Jiang Tang heard a sharp electric sound and everything became quiet in an instant.
Jiang Tang said: "You said so much just to stay alive, right?"
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his ears and said, "I shouldn't have died in the first place. I was used as a tool for you to find the traitor. Not only did you not thank me after using me, but you even wanted to destroy the body. You are really evil, even eviler than the black-hearted doctor who took thousands of star coins from me."
Jiang Tang: "How do you know?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Who told you to open the window at night? It made too much noise and woke me up when I was just sleeping."
"You're talking nonsense! You're sleeping like a pig! It's no use asking you to play a game with me eight hundred times!" Jiang Tang was furious. After blurting out, he noticed that the eyes around him were not right, and he quickly cleared his throat and changed the subject, "So what did you do?"
"Of course I followed you." Jiang Yuanshi said as a matter of course, "I used some tricks to avoid you from finding out, and then followed you all the way to your lair. Then I found out that although your two gangs seemed to be at odds, you were actually all actors. Actors in the world are all one family. We fought and performed for the surveillance cameras to get the supplies back."
"Recently, you have noticed something is wrong. You think that the resistance to looting supplies and tearing open the barrier has become stronger. You think there is a traitor in the gang, so you plan to lure the traitor out. After choosing and choosing, you can't find a suitable candidate. Just in time, I, the wronged one, appeared. Your seemingly cute and harmless boss deceived me into trusting you, and then recorded my behavior and sent it to the whole gang. After the traitor received it, he went to report it, and then I became the bait and scapegoat to help you catch the traitor."
The other party didn't say anything, and finally Jiang Tang spoke up: "Since you knew it was a trap, why did you come?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because I have the ability to protect myself, or maybe... because I still trust you and thought you might not do that..." Jiang Yuanshi's face was calm, and he pretended to be relaxed, which made people silent. "But unfortunately, I made a wrong bet."
Jiang Tang: "..."
"Since you have found the traitor and we are at a stalemate, why don't you just let me go? After all, I am just a poor, sick, short-lived Omega who picks up trash and wants to live a few more days."
Jiang Tang was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to the proposal: "Okay, you can leave, but I have a request. You can only come to the danger zone once a week. We will not stop you."
"good."
"Then you can..."
"Then I also have a request." Jiang Yuanshi interrupted Jiang Tang. This behavior made the other gang members dissatisfied and scolded him again, but Jiang Yuanshi didn't care and just stared at Jiang Tang and said, "From now on, the name Jiang Tang no longer belongs to you. I only give names to family members."
"Who cares about your name! Our leader doesn't need a crappy name like yours!"
"Yes, that's it!"
During the noise, Jiang Tang's screen flashed, and finally he said, "Okay, I'll give it back to you."
"I can take these things as my medical compensation."
"Can."
The two parties reached an agreement. Jiang Yuanshi ignored the other party, but just backed up, picked up the bag, and continued to back up the alley, disappearing from the candy box's sight.
It's quiet all around.
There was a sound of something heavy hitting the ground.
Candy Box said: "Take the person back."
"Yes." A slender, pitch-black human appeared at the entrance of the alley, carrying Jiang Yuanshi in one hand and a bag in the other. "Boss, when we knocked him out, the knife happened to fall into the bag. What should we do?"
"That's perfect. No one can use it anyway, so just wrap it up tightly and take it home to smash and burn it."
"yes."
The gang members turned and left, heading into the alley.
“Bang!”
The scene freezes at the moment when the young man carried by the slender human is about to step into the alley.
The video ends.
Someone said, "Don't mention it. Although we lost an insider this time, this show is really worth watching. It's much more interesting than the Tai Chi show they performed before."
"Yes, yes, but it's a pity that this interesting O is probably doomed to fail. Although it is of low grade, its appearance is first-class."
"You must be really hungry. You are interested in such a lowly O. Don't forget that he has glandular disease. If he infects you, a high-level A, you will be one less. By then, I don't think you can even keep your position, let alone promotion. But I don't mind. After all, one less competitor means more relief."
"You have a really poisonous mouth. You deserve to be rejected."
"Hey, why are you attacking me?"
A crowd of people were joking around, and one of them said while drinking a drink:
"Hey, you guys are just watching the show. Does anyone care about that knife? There aren't many people with this technology in the city. It's a pity to destroy it."
"Hey, this is easy. Why don't we just find Changkong? He is not only the next leader, but also the heir of the company. It's not hard for him to get a knife, right, Changkong! And I don't know where you've been recently. You have to compensate me. This is my only wish. You won't refuse to satisfy it, right?"
Mu Changkong, who was staring at the screen when his name was called, retracted his gaze, his eyes calm, and he said in a fine military uniform, "Of course."
"As expected of you, you can solve it with just two words! But what are you going to do?"
Mu Changkong said calmly: "There is no shortage of betrayers in the Lower City."
Give them hope of life, give them a future that they have never touched before. Just a drop of water can make this warm oil pan splash with oil.
Isn’t it?
