Cyber Heroes

At that moment...

The moment King Agni's attack engulfed the sky, Dr. Hu's time stopped.

His soul seemed to linger in that moment forever.

In the future, he gained a little success and suffered a lot of hardships. But none of these things seem to be able to leave a mark on his spirit.

Even internal strength cannot save this kind of thinking. As long as he doesn't control it deliberately, his brain will unconsciously start to recall the memories of that day.

It seems that these decades are not as unforgettable as that moment.

It is said that after that incident, a message appeared on the Internet. "Turing" recognized that the knight who died in the city of Dela Cruz was the true personality cover of Martial Ancestor Xiangshan and was the "Eighth Martial God".

But this has nothing to do with Dr. Hu.

The Xiangshan he knew had died under the attack of space-based weapons.

On this occasion, Dr. Hu was actually not sure whether he could really live until tomorrow. Although King Agni has not attacked anyone related to the Scientific Research Knight for a long time, His Highness loves extreme measures and emergencies. You never know when he will "obey authority in an emergency".

Only at this time would he indulge himself a little and think about Xiang Shan.

I thought about it until I felt dizzy and had a headache.

Dr. Hu is a natural benchmark person, he is older, his brain has a high degree of metal clustering, and he has undergone profound modifications. He is also a cybernetic who only needs electric field energy to survive. With the battery charged, he won't feel a lack of energy.

It's pure fatigue.

He didn't know how long he thought about it.

Think so. This problem has plagued him for decades. If there were no accidents, he might still be imprisoned for hundreds of years until the end of his life.

"I stood in the fierce wind..." Dr. Hu leaned his head against the wall and sang softly: "I wish I could / feel all the heartache... looking at the clouds moving in all directions / holding the sword in my hand / asking the world who is the hero... …”

The cold-blooded ranger guarding him glanced at him.

Generally speaking, these kinds of music that have a strong flavor from the old generation and are difficult to break away from natural language are often used by chivalrous people to "highlight their righteousness with loud voices." The music of the new era even abandons notes - it is a formal art that is separated from thoughts and expressions, and is an "audio combination that is pleasant to the senses." The latter is more likely to cause direct sensory stimulation than the former, making people addicted.

But no one stipulates that those who love singing are knights. Within the Scientific Research Knights and even among the patron cadres, a retro style becomes popular every ten years or so.

However, the song this man is singing now seems to have been sung when the Eighth Martial God was executed decades ago. I don’t know if this is considered a provocation.

But Dr. Hu only sang two lines and then stopped.

"Okay, okay, this song doesn't seem to fit my current state of mind." He whispered, "In order to survive, for tomorrow. I have to cheer up... That kid seemed to be able to sing something when he was a child..."

At that time, the Eighth Martial God was not yet the Martial God... He, or she, was just a little girl who was addicted to the virtual world and acted as if she had taken hallucinogens all day long, with a sense of unconsciousness on her face.

Occasionally, she does sing something to cheer herself up...a ​​certain song she once sang...

"Get over now [beyond the moment]... Get over pain [beyond the pain]... Get over mind [beyond the will]..."

Suddenly, an internal force poured into the area from the router.

At this moment, Zheng Lunnao, who was under lockdown, suddenly woke up.

The mechanical timbre of C. Shivaji-21 came from the cold-blooded wandering synthesizer: "Doctor Hu, how dare you sing that song under our watchful eyes. It seems that your mind is really dangerous. .Have you completely turned to the side of the knights?"

The Cold-Blooded Ranger didn't have any special performance. It seemed like he was used to having his boss commandeer a voice synthesizer.

"It's not your turn to judge whether my thoughts are in favor of the knights." Doctor Hu said: "I am a scientific research knight, who is reviewing my thoughts. That is someone under the command of King Zhengtian or directly under the command of the Knights Templar. work."

"Really, that's really a pity." C. Shivaji-21 said: "I have to tell you that you are free."

Doctor Hu sneered: "'Free'..."

"Congratulations, this incident seems to have nothing to do with you." C. Shivaji-21 said: "We have found information about the Earth-Drilling Dragon from other channels. Now, we plan to organize an encirclement and suppression. The combat power here is a bit tight now, so I will transfer those two rangers back. I have no reason to continue to watch over you. You are free."

Dr. Hu couldn't help but worry about the safety of those earth-burrowing dragons. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not his turn to pay attention to that group of people. Even if he is released, he may not really be "free". That C. Shivaji-21 must have buried a lot of secrets in his body. In addition, the eyes of everyone around him may become surveillance. The other party will definitely be watching him. As long as he dares to reveal a little bit of information to the outside world, these minions of King Agni will kill him on the spot.

He nodded: "I understand."

After standing up, he looked around.

It seemed like he and Zheng Shifan were the only ones left.

Decades ago, when they were first gathered together by King Agni, there were still a dozen people here. Those dozen people were all Xiangshan's "non-chivalrous friends" back then.

Now only he and Zheng Shifan are left.

He walked over, stretched out his hand, and pulled up Zheng Shifan, who had just been liberated from the darkness and was in a mental state close to sleepwalking.

As for the two knights whose brains had been put in jars, there was nothing he could do.

While he was doing these things, the two rangers quickly evacuated with the remaining equipment.

A scientific research knight and a martial arts warrior slowly walked out of the room.

This is just an ordinary warehouse in Dela Cruz City, a simple place with not much surveillance around.

After walking a few steps, Zheng Lunnaou said: "When I just woke up, I seemed to hear a very familiar song."

"Um."

"I think of the first time that person came to my martial arts school." Zheng Shifan said: "A girl with a very low transformation rate. Only her hands and feet are prosthetic, her eyes seem to be awake, and her mouth is still smiling. He told me, 'I want to play games and get some money to buy Internet equipment.' I thought at the time, this kid is really outrageous."

"Um."

"I really hope they are looking for some kind of inheritance..."

"Okay, Teacher Zheng." Dr. Hu shook his head: "Don't talk about it. Our ears, and the ears of the people around us, can all be the ears of that jar. No matter what you think of, don't say it."

"I don't know anything." Zheng Lunnao said, "That's it."

The two of them walked forward for a while. In fact, a few decades ago, they were not familiar with each other at all. At least before the death of the Eighth Martial God, they had not spoken directly. But in the past few decades, they have been caught together at least ten times.

The eighth Martial God finally revealed the shape and specifications of his prosthetic body. King Agni, on the other hand, pieced together the trajectory of his life from people's remaining memories and records, and locked in some people who had interacted with him. This is why Xiang Shan asked Zheng Shifan to consider fleeing in the first place.

And this experience of sharing hardships also gave the two a little tacit understanding.

There are fewer and fewer people who witnessed it back then.

This is also a very outrageous thing. When the Eighth God of War saved the city of Dela Cruz, how many residents witnessed it with their own eyes, how many people experienced it, how many people died in the chaos, how many people lost their relatives and friends, how many people suffered because of King Agni suffering.

However, those pains and sufferings have gradually disappeared from people's collective memory.

Under the operation of King Agni, only information describing the events of that year from a specific perspective can be circulated on the Internet.

People actually gradually forgot about that incident.

Perhaps, after Dr. Hu and Zheng Shifan died, no one would remember the death of the weakest martial god with the mentality of those who witnessed it.

But the two didn't say much. After passing another intersection, Zheng Lunnao walked directly to his martial arts gym. He has been missing for several days without any reason. Maybe the whole martial arts hall is in chaos.

Dr. Hu took another step and then stood on the street corner.

He looked at the sky, the sun was shining brightly.

Things that happened many years ago came to his mind again.

He still remembered the smart girl among his volunteers. During the double-blind test, Dr. Hu will provide the volunteers with some recreational activities, including some Internet equipment. It's easy for people to get addicted to it. This allows people whose lives are in extreme pain to temporarily numb themselves.

But that girl was different. She actually absorbed the fragmented knowledge with a relatively high efficiency. When examining her, she would keep asking the knight apprentice or Dr. Hu himself some questions. Apparently, she actually took the initiative to explore the knowledge chip that was implanted for free.

The Scientific Research Knights still like this kind of person very much. Dr. Hu also plans to train her as his new apprentice.

But the good times didn't last long. The girl quickly became obsessed with the Internet.

At first, she just spent more and more time online.

But later, she began to try to say some treacherous words to Dr. Hu.

This alarmed Dr. Hu. He briefly checked the records of the Internet device and found that the girl had learned to delete the usage records.

Her tone became more and more like an old scientific knight... no, it should be an old generation scientist, becoming more and more awe-inspiring.

Dr. Hu only read about this phenomenon in a few records.

There is only one thing that can cause this phenomenon.

That girl must have accidentally come into contact with the blockchain maze - the maze of Martial Ancestor's memories.

At that time, the Buddhist layman felt unprecedented confusion and... fear.

I once said that when I wrote this book, I often used the music of Mr. Kawai Kenji as the background music of the code words. The most commonly used one was "Ip Man", followed by several songs from the Fate series, and then Zero and Zedd. BGM. So it is reasonable for such a song to appear here.

However, considering Xiangshan's age, "Proof of Gede" should be the standard for "childhood memories", just like "The Miracle Reappears" for my generation.
