Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

boom

An alcohol lamp fell to the ground, and blue flames spread out instantly, followed by a horrifying cry.

The flames burned, and a wooden building was ignited. The raging flames steamed quickly, and bursts of crying and cursing, crazy laughter, and exhausted roars sounded one after another.

A large number of people poured out of the houses, and some people began to run out of the block in a panic.

“All citizens who are still conscious are asked to seek refuge on regional highways.”

The broadcast repeated over and over again, and in the sky above the area near Frye Mental Hospital, lifts and landing planes quickly passed by, and soon a large take-off and landing flight hovered in a relatively spacious area. On the street, only more than 2 meters above the ground, the moment the cabin door opened, a large number of members of Section 3 wearing explosion-proof clothing and carrying stun guns quickly jumped out.

boom

After an electric shock bomb hit a mentally disturbed person, he fell directly to the ground. Two people from Section 3 immediately went over, dragged him towards the house next to him, and threw him into the house. A large number of Section 3 officers were armed with stun guns and fired directly at the lunatics who were still rioting.

The flames had extended and expanded, and a lift was constantly hovering in a spacious place in the area. A large number of Section 3 personnel got off the lift directly and began to suppress the riot caused by the madmen.

It was just 10 o'clock in the evening.

In Frye Mental Hospital, the situation is even more serious. No one knows what happened or why these patients who were still under treatment caused riots.

At this time, laughing and noisy lunatics were pouring out of the hospital's gate. The members of Department 5 who had been waiting for them swarmed in and soon subdued a large number of lunatics with stun guns. People from Department 5 began to rush in. Went to the hospital.

The hospital was in a mess, and the crazy patients were smashing things and shouting crazy words with unknown meaning.

A large take-off and landing aircraft landed on the top of the rooftop. Akimi, the chief of Section 4, immediately walked down. The members of Section 4 beside him all carried medical surgical bags, and they quickly went downstairs.

The commotion gradually began to subside, and the flames were extinguished directly by the fire-extinguishing robot. Akimi hurriedly came to a room on the fifth floor. At this time, Marcus stood aside numbly, looking at the operating table with a horrified expression. Above, except for his head, Frye's whole body was charred.

Several people from Section 4 were preparing the medicine, and Frye's heart rate and breathing were weak.

"What happened?"

Akimi just took a look at Frye's case. 95% of his body was severely burned, two fingers on his left hand were cut off, and the knee of his right leg was shattered.

Marcus was still standing there dumbfounded. He looked very frightened. Akimi walked over and patted him on the back. Marcus suddenly came to his senses. He looked at Akimi with sad eyes and shook his head. Shaking his head, his words were a little confused.

"I should obviously follow him."

Marcus said, looking at Frye with an unusually solemn expression. He had only been away for a few hours, and riots suddenly began in the hospital and the surrounding areas.

Although the large-scale riots outside have calmed down, the specific cause is still under investigation. Frye was attacked by some mentally ill people with serious violent tendencies at the bottom. He was beaten by those lunatics, bit off his fingers, and then pushed in He fell into a primitive acid treatment tank underground and suffered severe burns all over his body.

When Marcus went down, he saw Frye desperately holding on to the edge of the treatment pool. When he pulled Frye up, he was completely unconscious, and his heartbeat and breathing were very weak.

呲呲

People from Section 4 are constantly spraying neutralizing spray to neutralize the chemical residue on Frye's skin bit by bit, and then proceed with the excision surgery. The concentration of bacteria in Frye's body is abnormally high at this time.

Seeing Frye dying, everyone felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Everyone could only try their best to hold on to Frye's life, but many people knew that this place was finished, completely finished, even if Frye could save his life. He lost his life, but no one would be willing to take over the management of this place.

At this time, accompanied by a whimpering sound, Frye opened his eyes. Both Akimi and Marcus put on surgical clothes. Everyone gathered around. Frye's entire face was distorted in pain, and he opened his eyes. He opened his mouth, his whole body convulsed, and blood seeped out from under the burnt skin.

"Don't get excited Fry! It's okay."

As Akimi spoke, he already took the light and shadow scalpel and began to help Frye deal with the burnt skin. No one knew what Frye wanted to say. He just opened his mouth wide and tried to raise his hand, but in the end he was unable to do so. Passed out.

"Fry, stay awake, you have to find a way to hold on, think more about the happy things in the past, think more, Fry."

Frye only felt that his eyelids were heavy. He felt that his body was very light, very gentle. He seemed to be floating up. The various lights in his head were changing. Frye seemed to be seeing a neon avenue.

The colorful lights were constantly changing, and the shouts in my ears were getting farther and farther away.

Frye looked at everything in front of him quietly, and everything under his feet was changing colors. At this time, there were bursts of weird and creepy shrill laughter all around.

Frye glanced around. There seemed to be many roads, but it seemed to be just a straight line. He didn't know where this was.

Giggle

A burst of weird laughter came from in front of Frye's eyes. Under the flashing neon light, there seemed to be a person. Frye walked over quickly, but for some reason, the person in front of him seemed to be a woman. Her back could be seen. When she came out, she tilted her head slightly and couldn't see her face clearly, only the black outline and the white grinning mouth, which looked like a smile but not a smile.

Giggle

This laughter was like a murmur coming from a dark abyss. From time to time, there would be rustling sounds and some rough interference sounds all around. It was also like insects crawling across the extremely quiet wilderness.

Frye continued to walk, following step by step. This smile that appeared from time to time was magical and alluring. Frye didn't know where he was going, but he only knew that he could only follow.

Didi

Along with a straight line, Fry's heartbeat began to appear in a straight line on the light and shadow panel, and the numbers continued to decrease.

"Open the chest and resuscitate the heart directly."

While Huashen was speaking, he was already moving. One hand was manipulating the light and shadow scalpel, and the other hand was deftly pressing on Frye's chest.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Huashen. It only took 5 seconds to open Frye's chest, put one hand on Frye's heart, and pressed it rhythmically.

The heart rate, which became a straight line, was rising slowly. Others were quickly performing operations. Hua Shen looked tiredly at Frye, whose pupils had dilated, and his vital signs had almost disappeared.

"What the hell are you doing Fry, Fry!"

"Cut the pain nerve!"

Akimi shouted very decisively, Marcus took action immediately, and Huashen also nodded. It was necessary to minimize Frye's current physical pain, the abnormal pressure on the brain, and the heart rate was still slowly recovering. , but the situation is not optimistic.

"Monica!"

Fry stared blankly at the woman who turned back in front of him. She was a black silhouette, but she could be recognized from the outline. Her white eyes stared at Fry strangely, and her white mouth opened slightly.

However, at this time, the black silhouette in front of him seemed to dissolve from the middle, tearing apart towards both sides. Gradually, two female black silhouettes separated on the left and right sides of Frye. He looked at the other black silhouette in shock. .

This black silhouette looked like a piece of paper, and Frye recognized it at a glance.

"Nabe!"

At this time, the two women reached out to Frye at the same time and grabbed him. Frye also walked towards the front little by little. Gradually, the neon lights around him began to fade away.

A mist-shrouded hut appeared in front of him. Fry came back to his senses. Everything around him disappeared, including the silhouettes of the two women holding his hands. This was Nabe's home. Fry step by step walked over.

Didi didi

A drop of sweat fell on Huashen's forehead and splashed on the ground. He stared at the heart in his hand that had gradually lost its temperature and stopped beating. Frye's eyes had turned a deathly gray.

"what to do!"

For a moment, everything in Huashen's head was intertwined and twisted. He glanced at the countdown on the eyeshadow screen. It was the last time for brain death. If Frye's body functions could not be restored, he would be dead. , every second is precious, every second Frye is one step closer to death.

The door to the room was opened. Akimi was carrying a huge box. He opened it immediately after walking over and pulled out tubes one by one. Hua Shen just wanted to ask something, but he had already put out the tubes one by one. It pierced the periphery of Frye's head.

"No problem, no problem."

Akimi looked panicked, but everyone saw it at this time. There was an oxygen generator in the box, and the tube was connected through a small black box. There were a lot of black things in it that kept entering Frye's body through the tube. In his head, a light and shadow screen appeared, which was a nanorobot.

Everyone was shocked, Akimi explained.

"If the body functions stop, it will not be able to supply oxygen to the brain. This is the most fatal. As for other substances needed for brain activities, I have prepared them and will transport them directly to Frye's brain through nanorobots. As long as he can ensure that he If my brain doesn’t die, I’ll have a chance. I’ll leave it to you for the surgery, Huashen!”

Akimi shouted, and for a moment the lumpy things in Huashen's brain were loosened again. He immediately thought of various methods, and finally chose the most conservative one.

"When injecting cell regeneration agent, be careful about the amount."

The more than 20 people in the room began to work on their own.

"Nabe!"

Under the warm yellow light, Nabe was sitting on the rocking chair on the table next to the door of the wooden house, holding a thick medical book in his hand, and next to Nabe's favorite jasmine tea.

Frye smelled the fragrance of jasmine in the breeze. He walked over and called out again, but Nabe didn't seem to see him and was still flipping through the books.

"I should have reached the end by now!"

Frye looked around quietly. Except for the small house in front of him, there was nothing all around. There was a gray-black mist. After Frye got closer, Nabe raised his head. .

"When will you be more mature Fry!"

Fry wanted to say something, but couldn't make any sound. Nabe still smiled as always and looked at him tenderly.

"What do you think the future will be like?"

Frye raised his hand, and everything in front of him began to turn into sand. Nabe's figure also turned into dust in the wind, disappearing little by little. At the last moment, Frye saw Nabe's slightly opened and closed lips.

happiness!

Without any sadness or anger, Frye just stood quietly in a large empty land, and in the distance, wind and sand were blowing everywhere. Frye started running because he saw Monica.

"Monica!"

The Monica in front of her was still the same as before, wearing a brown coat, with her hands in her pockets, her face stained with blood, standing in the wind and sand covered in dust.

"You still haven't changed Fry!"

Frye shook his head and ran over quickly, trying to catch Monica, but with the breeze, Monica melted into the dust in the wind.

happiness!

In the office, the operation was still going on. No one spoke. Archimi kept staring at the light and shadow screen. The values ​​​​of Fry's brain were now stable. Nanorobots had spread all over Fry's body, and these robots were working. , replacing the role of the brain, commanding everything in Frye's body in an orderly manner.

Located in the underground ward of Frye Mental Hospital, there are more than 800 patients with violent tendencies. Basically, except for delivering meals, no one is willing to go down there. The environment down there is very harsh, and Frye goes down there every day. , communicate with patients.

Frye was attacked by a patient before, and Marcus has repeatedly reminded that for those patients whose treatment is hopeless and torturous, direct injection of tranquilizers is the most direct approach, but Frye has repeatedly He refused, feeling that he had the ability to cure these patients.

Patients are brought here every day. The slave patients who originally gathered here have made this place choked. In the past, this was a relatively marginalized area. Since the city was founded, it has been used as a temporary residence for some extremely poor people. Later, It became a community for deformed people and is now a gathering place for mentally ill people.

This place has been neglected for a long time. When Fry proposed to manage the problems here on his own, everyone admired his courage.

To take care of these patients, you must put in more energy than usual and have extremely strong endurance. In the past, deformed people were fine, but now the mentally ill patients are different. They cannot be measured by the standards of normal people.

In the past clone future plan, except for Huashen, students in the other four subjects all had mental problems to varying degrees. Some people would always wake up from nightmares. No matter what their ambitions and goals were, When people face such cruel things, they don't have much resistance.

Harming others is the same as harming yourself. The rebound effect between people will not bury everything in the past just because you selectively forget. You stay out of it.

Taking care of the patients here every day will make people exhausted, and the reality has been placed in front of everyone. No one can take over the problems here, and no one is willing to take over. This has long been a marginalized place, and Frye But I chose here.

People are always used to ignoring things they don't want to see. Inadvertent indifference has gradually reduced this place to a wasteland in the city, but Frye set foot in this wasteland.

"We've done everything we can do!"

Akimi said, Huashen was still performing the operation, and the others did not stop their actions. At this time, the door of the room was opened.

Akimi looked over and saw Jean and Tang Rao walking in.

"I have already informed your classmates that Frye is out of danger!"

Tang Rao muttered as soon as he came in. Jean walked to Frye's side and looked at Frye who had a large area of ​​skin removed, leaving only flesh and blood. The numerical values ​​on the light and shadow panel next to him showed that in addition to the fact that his brain was still active, All other body functions cease.

Soon Tang Rao also joined in the surgery, and Gene stood quietly aside, looking at Frye, whose pupils were dilated.

Everything in front of them was despairing for everyone. No one thought that Frye would become like this.

This man doesn't talk much and is even a bit shy. Many classmates have received help from him. This kind of help is hidden and unintentional, but everyone remembers what Fry has done in the past. Selfishness is what makes many people extremely uncomfortable at this moment.

Frye really wanted to help the city solve its problems because no one wanted to take over the problem of mental illness.

Many people from Section 4 worked here for a while, but most of them backed down in the end.

"What on earth did you see, at the end of life!"

As soon as Gene finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at him. He walked to Frye's head, took a chair and sat down.

Everyone in the room knew that the possibility of Frye's survival was zero. The more than 20 people in the room were all the top doctors in Brilliant City.

In the mist-shrouded desert, it was obviously a desert, but there was a gray mist. The sky was pitch black. Fry didn't know where he was going. He was moving forward in the mist at a loss. He couldn't see or hear anything. , unable to speak.

At this time, a figure appeared in the fog, and Frye ran over quickly, with longing in his eyes. He kept pushing away the fog in front of him, and stumbled over, but soon Frye couldn't see anything. arrive.

"What are you looking for!"

A soft female voice came, and Frye's eyes widened as soon as he turned his head.

"Lolita!"

Next to her is a bald Lolita wearing a hospital gown with a black CLONE0 around her neck.

"What kind of Lolita is this?"

"What are you looking for!"

Frye shook his head, and Lolita held Frye's hand and smiled softly. At this time, the surrounding fog gradually dissipated, and Lolita pressed Frye's hand on her chest.

"If you can feel it, you should face your true self, Fry! If you can't feel it, that's your end!"

Following where Lolita was pointing, Frye looked over and saw a black whirlpool abyss that was still expanding and rolling, and everything on the edge and color was being sucked in.

"face!"

Frye froze, and Lolita let go of Frye's hand.

"I have crossed death Fry countless times. The place you want to reach is only faced by yourself, instead of establishing a path or chasing the light released by others. You are yourself."

Frye slowly turned his head. The other place pointed by Lolita's hand was a twisted black object like a pillar. On the periphery of the object, there were strange-shaped cheeks, pain, sadness, happiness, excitement, Surprise, fear, shyness, anger, contempt.

There were waves of strange sounds floating in the wind. These sounds gathered together, like the screams of monsters, like roars coming from deep underground.

Lolita looked at Frye quietly, she smiled and shook her head.

"Death is not the end, and the end is not death, Fry!"

To Frye's left hand side, the black vortex that tore the earth and swallowed everything was not far away. Frye started to move, and he started running towards the right side. The huge twisted thing like a pillar was constantly approaching. .

At this moment Frye seemed to realize something. He clearly realized that although the world around him had colors and various things, the only thing missing was light.

"happiness!"

Frye ran wildly, and memories kept appearing around Frye like jumping frames. Those past scenes from Frye's birth to the present were fragmented and turned into pieces with every step Frye took. Colorful debris was flying in the wind.

Gradually, Frye stopped. He turned his head indifferently and looked at the last fragmented picture. It was the picture of him sealing the clone Lolita in the cryo chamber. There was nothing he could do. He couldn't save Loli. Tower, because with each cloning, the clone Lolita's physical functions will continue to decline, and new problems will arise.

The huge human face pillar in front of him had stopped in front of Frye. Frye raised his head. The last scene disappeared, and the vortex abyss behind him got closer and closer.

Frye began to climb up the pillar, constantly pulling on the raised knots on the edge of the pillar, climbing up step by step. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know where this thing was leading to. It was just that the vortex abyss was here. The front of the human face pillar stopped moving forward.

No matter how Fry climbed or went up, there was always no end. He didn't know what it meant to continue going up. But gradually Fry could see clearly, and the world around him appeared in Fry's eyes. He became more and more anxious and restless.

At this time, accompanied by rumbling sounds, Frye felt that the entire human face pillar was collapsing and falling apart. The huge black abyss vortex had swallowed up the human face pillar. Frye accelerated his speed and kept crawling.

The pillar of the human face began to decompose, and the distorted expressions of different emotions roared and fell into the abyss like white raindrops.

"It's at the top."

The surrounding scenery was all in Frye's eyes, a world of only gray and white, desolate and heartbreaking. Frye raised his head, raised his hands, stood on tiptoes, and there were black clouds above his head, but there seemed to be light in the clouds. There is a little light, maybe not light.

Because in Frye's world, there is no light!

Little by little, the top of Frye's feet began to crack. Frye quietly stared at himself falling as the face pillar collapsed. He still stretched out his hand. Frye half-crouched on the ground. He struggled roared.

boom

There was a loud noise, and everything under Frye's feet collapsed. He jumped up, this time seemingly very high, and passed through the dark clouds. The deafening sound of collapse behind him gradually faded away.

There were different colors in the clouds, and there were many colors. These colors slowly turned into debris and kept floating past Frye's eyes. There was a longing expression on Frye's face, as if he had already seen it.

In a group of colorful clouds, Frye passed through. He closed his eyes, and his eyes were full of darkness. Maybe he thought he could see light when he opened his eyes.

"Are you back here again?"

The place in front of him was still like a neon light at night. There seemed to be many roads that could be walked around, but in fact there were no roads. Frye squatted on the ground in despair, then sat down on the ground, hugging his legs, Curled up into a ball.

"All I see is darkness, there is no light in my world!"

Frye's expression became more and more disappointed and lonely. He knew very well that he didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. The entire neon world was shrinking little by little. In the sky above Frye's head, it was dark. And there was a hint of scarlet in the endless place.

And that scarlet color is getting closer and closer, as if there is a huge hand in the darkness, paddling silently in the darkness, getting closer and closer to this lightless neon world, holding the whole world in its hands.

Click

With the sound of shattering everywhere, Frye raised his head in despair and quietly looked at the world that had begun to fall into pieces.

"It's too early to give up hope!"

A clear female voice sounded in Frye's ears. The moment Frye turned his head, he saw a sheet of shining wings, slowly falling on his shoulders. They were so bright and soft. Frye He raised one hand and held the soft feather.

Fry suddenly raised his head. In the dark place, there was a scarlet dot, like an eye, staring at him. Fry felt fear, but the feather he was holding tightly in his hand gave Fry A trace of safety.

"Come here, you can only continue if you come here!"

Frye shook his head. At this time, in front of Frye, a huge face with scarlet eyes, like a ghost, appeared.

boom

Fry watched as the neon world around him shattered, and he was pinched by something.

It was a huge, seemingly boundless hand. Frye felt as if his body and will were being crushed. He wanted to struggle, but he didn't have the slightest strength, and his body began to fall into pieces.

Suddenly, Frye looked at the feather at hand. In an instant, Frye prayed for the first time. He prayed for something that could never be seen or grasped.

The light began to expand little by little, and Frye watched in amazement. These streams of light spread around, and Frye gradually floated in the air.

"Once you are disappointed with the world, the world will also be disappointed with you!"

The light became stronger and stronger. For a moment, Frye was immersed in the light. This time, his world was full of light. The neon lights that were originally only colors began to flash. Frye showed a smile. Once Frye felt a slight warmth.

As time passed, Gene stood up and looked at Frye's dilated pupils, recovering little by little.

"I'm sorry Fry! I'm sorry! I couldn't do anything to stop it."
