Don't pick up wild people on the roadside (20)
"Host, you clearly know that thing is not a character from the original novel. It's an unexpected product that could easily cause problems in the plot."
"If that's the case, 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's consciousness, Z01, it was 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 resting.
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 walked 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 taking Jiang Tang back home.
The two argued calmly but could not reach a consensus.
Finally, Jiang Yuanshi said tiredly, "Before you accuse me of bringing Jiang Tang back, please answer my previous question. Why did you allow Yun Qing to come here? Also, when I asked B33 to ask for your opinion, you agreed. Why are you regretting it now?"
The code glowed, moving impatiently along the wall. Z01 replied calmly, "Because the cloud host wasn't located on Planet C, but in the lower city of Planet A, where you are. As for your opinion, I haven't received any communication."
ah?
Jiang Yuanshi took a deep breath, half of his body pressed 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 far too superb compared to B33.
"He wasn't lying." Z01 denied Jiang Yuanshi's guess. "The system can detect abnormalities in the host, including lie detection. The data proves that the cloud host was not lying. What he said was his memory, or what he believed happened when he left Planet C and came to the upper city of Planet A and entered the lower city through the company. However, when I met the new host, I was already in the lower city."
"Are you saying that Yunqing's memory has been tampered with?"
"The possibility of tampering reaches 70% probability."
"Then why didn't you tell me 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, straightening the chain. "It's strange. I can't feel anything, 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 lingering in mid-air. Z01 continued, "And what are you looking for by feeling the wall?"
Jiang Yuanshi said hesitantly, "I came to this world..."
"Do you mean to say that when I came into this world, I was in this small room behind the wall, and after I came out, I could never open it again?"
"..." After Z01 had said everything, Jiang Yuanshi chose to keep quiet and nodded.
Z01: "You said the same thing yesterday, but you don't seem to remember it."
Jiang Yuanshi calmly said to the situation, "Ah, I lost my memory."
What's with your tone of voice, as if it's none of my business? Z01 was confused.
"But I don't have the feeling that Jiang Yuan is gradually taking over my position?" 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 Yun Qing in making the complaint, and Yun Qing got soaked to the skin while testing the water temperature in the 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 he emphasized each word: "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 have to say to you, nothing else?"
Z01: "Yes, after you activated the collar to release pheromones at my suggestion, a connecting line appeared on the wall, but you failed to match it and didn't give a reason."
"Can't you invade?"
"No, you asked me the same question yesterday."
“…I see. Sorry.”
Jiang Yuanshi didn't understand why he had to apologize. Maybe it was 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, and releasing pheromones too frequently can cause illness. I just took the liberty of performing a body scan on you, and I estimate that releasing pheromones one or two more times will cause illness."
"Two or three times of this frequency 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 face in the quilt.
Z01: "Host, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yuanshi made a muffled sound from under the quilt: "There's no good solution anyway, so why not rest first? If you're undecided, go to sleep first."
Z01: “…”
Jiang Yuanshi buried himself in the quilt and asked the other party if he had anything else to say.
Z01 added, "I still think you shouldn't have named that accidental product."
Jiang Yuanshi silently propped himself up with his hands: "Why?"
"Because in the novel world, NPCs or foreign objects given names will have character identities, which will have irreversible effects on the plot, and may even cause the plot to deviate completely. Giving it a name, even with the same surname, will not benefit either the original owner or you."
Jiang Yuanshi turned over and said, "But I've already taken it. Things have already happened. Time cannot be reversed. Do you want me to spend my willpower on something like this?"
Z01 fell silent.
Jiang Yuanshi faced the ceiling and asked boldly, "Hey Z01, you said that once you name something, it will take effect in this world. So, can the system and the host do the same?"
Z01: "There are no cases that cannot be analyzed. The results remain to be seen."
"How about doing an experiment and giving it a try?"
"There's already a Jiang Tang, please don't take any more risks."
The experimental concept was overturned, and Jiang Yuanshi didn't refute it but directly compromised. Z01 felt less relieved than expected. However, before he could delve into it, 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 human. I feel like he's the one who's awakened. Are all artificial intelligences in this world that powerful? The smaller the object, the harder it is to make. And Jiang Tang's shell is very hard, without a single scratch. Unless he's a newborn, it can't be that pristine, not to mention that he lives in a dangerous area."
"Why did you pick it up when you knew it was wrong?"
"Since he's already 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. Just as Jiang Yuanshi's eyes were about to close, the chain wrapped around his ankles, winding a little bit more. He sighed, "You never seem to think about yourself."
Jiang Yuanshi eventually fell asleep. Z01 couldn't express his inner feelings, but simply let the crisscrossing chains encircle 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 incident 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 had walked during the transaction. At the same time, he scanned the other party's chip while Yun Qing and Jiang Tang were playing.
Z01 compared the Shangcheng District robot chip with the scanned Jiangtang chip and found that the Jiangtang chip had a similar overall design to ordinary robot chips, but its driving core was different. After consulting the surrounding and world information, he confirmed that the Jiangtang chip was unique, with no duplicates and no maker.
Jiang Yuanshi, who had been studying for a few days, looked at the amplifying circuit without saying a word. He shook his head and said to Z01, "I have no idea, and I'm not sure if it will be controlled by the company."
This is a pretty good finished product. Jiang Yuanshi was a little itchy to take it apart and take a look, but he finally held back. It would be bad if there was something horrible 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 of my monitoring is limited, but the final direction he was heading was an alley. He may have returned to the danger zone again."
Jiang Yuanshi sighed, somewhat helplessly: "I find that your words are really ambiguous. If I had pointed this out to the other party at the beginning and told them there was a problem, maybe I wouldn't have to argue with you for so long."
Z01: "But even without evidence, your behavior is dangerous."
Jiang Yuanshi held 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 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 basically chat before going to bed, so that when B33 accompanies Yun Qing, Z01 can turn on the shielding and virtual mode to create the illusion that Jiang Yuanshi is asleep. Unless the superiors intervene, no creature will discover it.
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 cube 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 spent the whole night installing the head.
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 also a dark alley, but after walking 2,400 meters, it became brightly lit.
Under the streetlight, Jiang Yuanshi saw the two gangs standing together in harmony. 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 Robot over. When it was about to hit their leader, one of the robots in the gang stepped firmly on it and stopped it.
"You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
"Of course I want to live, otherwise how would I have lived this long?"
The frivolous tone made the gang members even more angry. When they tried to charge forward, the leader shouted, "Stop it."
"But Boss..."
A red line appeared on the candy box screen, 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 a fight, I'll accompany you. Of course, it's not that I'm arrogant, but I'm confident that I can destroy you. If you don't believe me, check the one-eyed man to see if the line is broken or if he's poisoned."
"That's impossible. You're just a broken knife!"
Jiang Tang: "That's not an ordinary knife. Did you modify it?"
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.
"My training isn't very good, so instead of modifying it, I'd rather learn how to make some viruses on my own." Jiang Yuanshi used his injured hand to spin the knife, as if he didn't feel any pain at all. "As long as you have metal or a motor on your body, this knife will be contaminated with poison if it touches you. The only bad thing is that there's only one of these. After all, I made it by accident, and I tried many times afterwards but couldn'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 feigned surprise 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. What a coincidence, none of you... seem to be in good health."
"you!"
They kept talking to each other for a long time, but finally got something to say after seeing Jiang Yuanshi's suppression ring. They said proudly, "No matter how powerful he is, he's still an Omega who can't even control his own pheromones."
"Yes, after the scan, it's still an O with glandular disease."
"Hilarious! 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, the stinky ass who can only marry your right hand, or the eunuchs who have lost their sexual function, or the 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 quite poor."
"You bastard!"
"Quiet!" Jiang Tang heard a sharp electric sound and everything became quiet in an instant.
Jiang Tang said, "You said all this just to stay alive, didn't you?"
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his ears. "I shouldn't have died in the first place. I was just 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're really evil! Even more evil 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 climb the window at night? It made so much noise that I woke up when I was only half asleep."
"Bullshit! You're clearly sleeping like a pig! Even if I asked you to play a game with me eight hundred times, it's no use!" Jiang Tang blurted out in anger. After noticing the strange looks from everyone around her, she quickly cleared her throat and changed her words, "So what did you do?"
"Of course I followed you." Jiang Yuanshi said as a matter of course, "I used a little trick to avoid your discovery, and then followed you all the way to your lair. Then I found out that although the two gangs seemed to be at odds, they were actually all actors. Actors in the world are all one family. We played and acted for the surveillance cameras and took away the supplies."
"Recently, you've noticed something's amiss. You think the resistance to looting supplies and breaking through the barrier has increased, and you think there's a mole inside the gang. You're trying to lure the mole out, but you can't find a suitable candidate. Then, I, the wronged one, show up. Your seemingly lovable and harmless boss tricks me into trusting you, then records my actions and sends a message to the entire gang. The mole reports it to you, and I become the bait to help you find the mole."
The other party remained silent, and finally Jiang Tang spoke up: "If 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 wouldn't do that..." Jiang Yuanshi's expression remained calm, and his pretentious demeanor silenced everyone. "But unfortunately, I made a wrong bet."
Jiang Tang: "..."
"Since you've found your traitor and we're at a stalemate, why don't you just let me go? After all, I'm 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 before finally agreeing to the proposal: "Okay, you can leave, but I have a requirement. You can only come to the danger zone once a week. We won't stop you."
"good."
"Then you can..."
"Then I have a request too." Jiang Yuanshi interrupted Jiang Tang. This action made the other gang members dissatisfied and started to curse again, but Jiang Yuanshi didn't care. He 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 right!"
Amidst the commotion, Jiang Tang's screen flickered, and she finally 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 away, picked up the bag, and continued to back away to the alley, disappearing from the sight of the candy box.
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 figure appeared at the entrance of the alley, carrying Jiang Yuanshi in one hand and a bundle in the other. "Boss, when we knocked him out, the knife happened to fall into the bundle. 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, entering 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 spoke up, "Don't mention it. Even though we lost an insider this time, this show was really worth watching. It's much more interesting than the Tai Chi show they were doing before."
"Yes, yes, but it's a pity that this interesting O is probably doomed. Although it is of low grade, its appearance is first-class."
"You're really hungry. You're even interested in such a lowly O. Don't forget he has glandular disease. If he infects you, a high-ranking A, you'll be one less. By then, I don't think you'll even be able to keep your position, let alone a promotion. But I don't mind. After all, one less competitor means more peace of mind."
"Your mouth is really poisonous. You deserve to be rejected."
"Hey, why are you attacking me personally?"
A group 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 in the city with this technology. It would be a shame to destroy it."
"Hey, that's easy. Why don't we just ask Changkong? He's not only the next leader, but also the heir to the company. How hard can he get a knife, right, Changkong? And I don't know where you've been lately. You have to make it up to me. This is my only wish. You won't refuse to fulfill it, will you?"
Mu Changkong, who was staring at the screen when his name was called, retracted his gaze, his eyes calm. Dressed in an exquisite military uniform, he said, "Of course."
"As expected of you, you can do it with just two words! But what are you going to do?"
Mu Changkong said calmly, "There is no shortage of traitors in the Lower City."
Give them hope of life, give them a future they have never touched before, just a drop of water can make this warm oil pan splash with oil.
Isn’t it?
