Right on Target

In the depths of this nest, hangs a glass cylinder. It is bound by green lines, and the complex data are like entities, flowing slowly against the outer wall of the glass cylinder, vaguely revealing the girl inside the glass. Different from those experimental subjects who were sealed in the glass tank, the girl's glass tank was open, and countless wires protruded into the tank, covering her head in the form of non-implantable electrodes.

Behind her, is a giant information processor. The processor seems to be some kind of huge monster inhabiting here. It has thick tubes inserted all over its body. Those thick tubes connect all the experimental subjects. While extracting the nutrient solution of the experimental subjects, they can also use the intracranial chips of the experimental subjects.

The clear beating sound of the heart comes from here, and this processor is Xuannv's heart.

Viper's hair stood on end, and he couldn't see the whole picture of the processor even if he looked up. He involuntarily covered his chest in front of this weird picture, almost thinking that his heartbeat was the same as Xuannv's.

Xuannv in the glass jar did not open her eyes, her pale cheeks were slightly sunken, and her limbs were already showing signs of atrophy. Perhaps for the convenience of attaching electrodes, Xing Tian shaved off her hair. Half of her body was slightly raised, as if bent by the wires above her head, her expression was very painful.

Xuannv said, "Are you scared by me? God's real body is a prisoner."

Su Heting lowered his voice: "No, I'm also a prisoner."

Xuannv's body is extremely fragile, even her fingers cannot move freely when she is still in the nutrient solution.

Su Heting's comfort made her silent, and after a while, she asked, "Do you recognize who this body is?"

Su Heting approached the glass and looked at the girl. The girl's frowning eyebrows were light and thin, because she had been here for a long time, her skin was abnormally pale. The pallor made her look dead, but she was still breathing. Both her mouth and nose were blocked with connecting tubes, and Su Heting saw her appearance through the gap of the connecting tubes.

For a moment, the girl's appearance overlapped with a certain photo in Su Heting's memory. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Ah Xiang!"

Jiali once gave Su Heting a photo. The girl in the photo looked exactly like the tattoo on her arm. She was the daughter she had been looking for.

Xuannv said: "Thank God, you recognized it. This body is called Ah Xiang, but I am not her."

She used her consciousness to drive the human-faced spider, let the spider climb up the suspended glass tanks, and then made those glass tanks turn like wind chimes, making a soft, distant knocking sound.

Xuannv said melancholy: "The body here is my container."

Viper was dumbfounded, and said, "Then what are you?"

Xuannv said: "Let's think about it, maybe I should be called a ghost? My body died early in the first round of experiments, but my consciousness and the chip were fused. It's a pity that even if the consciousness and the chip are fused, I can't see it." The body is still needed as a carrier, and it cannot completely get rid of the shackles of the body like artificial intelligence. In order to use me, Xing Tian put me in different bodies, but most of these bodies are survivors of the new world, and the time to survive in the glass tank is limited. So Xing Tian will replace my body regularly."

A "new human" appeared in Su Heting's mind again, but no matter whether it was the old world or the new world, the results of these experiments ran counter to the original intention. He asked, "Can you two leave the aquarium?"

Xuannv said: "What do you want to do?"

Su Heting said: "Return Ah Xiang to Jiali."

The girl in the glass jar seemed to have become conscious, and suddenly let out a very soft "hum". She turned her head slowly, dragging those heavy wires, and turned her face to Su Heting.

-Mother.

The heartbeat in the base intensified, beating like thunder in everyone's ears. A Xiang's lips moved, but she couldn't make any sound, Su Heting wasn't even sure if she still had a tongue.

new human.

Su Heting crazily circulated this word in his head, he was propped against the glass wall, but it seemed that he was separated from Ah Xiang by thousands of miles. He thought of Jiali, Ah Xiang was a bit like Jiali, but she was still an underage girl, and Xing Tian and the big boss had transformed her beyond recognition.

To your **** new world.

He tightened his fingers and repeated in a low voice: "Return Ah Xiang to Jiali."

Xuannv said, "I'm sorry."

Su Heting said: "This is not your fault."

This is not the fault of anyone who was used as an experimental subject. They are not the ones who operate all of this. Everyone is being used as an inhuman tool. Survivors, spliced ​​humans, coexistents, artificial humans, everyone is.

Xuannv said: "The body survived in the glass tank for two weeks, and Ah Xiang persisted for a month. I... I saw Jiali in her memory."

As a "container", Ah Xiang's memory has been deleted in sevens and eights, but her strong emotions still exist. Jiali is looking for her, and she is also looking for Jiali, and they are trying to live on this feeling in this world without tomorrow.

Ah Xiang's eyelashes trembled violently, trying to open her eyes. The green fluorescence of the processor began to flicker, and Xuannv sighed in pain. She has a close connection with Ah Xiang and empathizes with her. Because of the intense emotional ups and downs, several human-faced spiders tilted their heads and escaped Xuannv's control.

Xie Zhenshu stepped forward and said to the glass tank, "Turn off the empathy setting."

Xuannv's voice was intermittent: "I can't..."

Xie Zhenshu said: "Even if you live forever in the chip, you are not artificial intelligence."

He was close to Su Heting, and his expression was the same as before when he spoke. He seemed to know how to deal with this situation, and saw through Xuannv's hesitation.

Xuannv once said in the trading field that she felt confused about herself. In order not to reduce herself to artificial intelligence, she needed to establish a relationship with her body. Perhaps bearing the pain together was not only her apology to her body, but also her way of preventing herself from getting lost in the data. The only way in the long river.

The processor was working with a "buzzing" sound, which forced A Xiang to regulate his emotions and asked him to keep calm. Xuannv struggled for a while, the beating sound of her heart gradually returned to normal, and Ah Xiang also returned to stillness in the glass jar.

After a long while, Xuannv said: "Sorry, Su Heting, Ah Xiang and I can't leave the glass tank. Thank you, I know, I say that, you will want to move the glass tank and processor together, but that won't work."

Although she just met Su Heting not long ago, she has a certain grasp of the cat's temperament. The matter of removing the processor is simply whimsical, but if it can be done, Su Heting will definitely do it.

Su Heting said: "The best reform doctor I know, she must have a way."

Xuannv said: "It's too late. From the moment Ah Xiang's transformation operation is completed, she can no longer leave the glass tank. Those two connecting tubes continue her life. If she wants to leave, she has to pull them out."

Ah Xiang's head drooped slowly, as if in deep sleep.

Xuannv said: "...I invite you here to ask you to take away Ah Xiang's letter. Ah Xiang's persistence for a month is already the limit, and in a few days, Xing Tian will come to replace a new body. I by…"

She was set with forbidden words, and she couldn't tell who she was restricted by.

"...Can't contact Jiali...I'm sorry, I can only ask you, and there is a godslayer...He will definitely take you away safely."

Su Heting said, "Where is the letter?"

A human-faced spider crawled down the glass tank and spit the letter on the ground. It is said to be a letter, but it is actually just a page torn off in a hurry. It can be seen that Ah Xiang has suffered a lot in order to carry this piece of paper with him. The back of the paper has been soaked with blood and tears, revealing deep handwriting.

Xie Zhenshu picked up the letter and handed it to Su Heting. Su Heting put it in his inner pocket, and said to Xuannv and Ah Xiang: "I will give it to Jiali."

"Thank you, as I said, when you come here, I will steal your memory back." Xuannv lowered several glass jars containing experimental subjects, and let the face-faced spiders crawl in. "Actually, when the experiment started, I Information about you has been read in the chips of these experimental subjects."

The human-faced spider took out the chip of the experimental subject, stuffed it into its mouth, and chewed it twice. A few seconds later, Xuannv reviewed the information.

She said: "I'm sorry again, Xie Zhenshu, I lied to you. Two years ago you went to the trading market to look for Su Heting's information, and I answered 'death'. It was not because I couldn't find Su Heting's information, but because I saw some of his past in the experimental body chip."

Xie Zhenshu said, "Which part of the past?"

Su Heting moved slightly in his heart, and said, "Which part? Wait a minute, my memory—"

Xuannv said: "Your memory has been divided, strengthened by the main **** system, and locked in a corner of the new world with twelve codes."

No wonder Su Heting couldn't think of anything.

Xuannv paused, and said: "...I can only give you what I stole. I swear I haven't read it, but I guess it may not be complete."

Su Heting frowned at the memories saved in sections, he thought to himself: What have I done? Is it worth the trouble of the main **** system? Besides, since the main **** system can take away his memory, why not erase it, but keep it?

He asked, "Besides what you got, where are the rest of the memories?"

Xuannv said, "In the penalty area."

Su Heting vaguely grasped the key point, as Jue said in his diary, he once stayed in the penalty area for a while.

The chip-chewed human-faced spider crawled up to them, its carapace converted into a mechanical board, its legs curled up, and it lay on the ground to become an ordinary iron block, with a connection socket rising from the raised back .

Xuannv said, "Take it away."

Su Heting raised his tail and looked at Xie Zhenshu, who was looking at him. He said, "Transmit for two minutes."

Xie Zhenshu was silent and did not answer immediately. There was Su Heting's confusion in his eyes, as if he wanted to touch Su Heting's cheek. After a while, he nodded and said, "I'll wait for you here."

He always stood quietly, as if waiting had become a habit.

Su Heting suddenly thought of their first farewell—the first farewell in the new world. The officer stood in the rain like this, watching him disappear from the penalty area.

Su Heting's tail tilted and rested on Xie Zhenshu's wrist. The tip of his tail quickly swept across Xie Zhenshu's inner wrist, leaving a fluffy touch, and then replaced the tip, threw out the interface, and connected it to the socket.

He said, "Goodbye."

The cat's reformed eyes lighted up slightly, the word "X" appeared, spun around, and began to receive memories—
