Chapter 50

In the basement, with the first ray of sunlight in the morning, Liao Yang narrated from his own perspective.

"I'm..." He fell into memory, "I discovered something was wrong about two years ago."

He used "discovery".

"I don't know if you have seen a movie of the ancient earth era①." He said, "Probably, the protagonist exists as the audience's observation object, and all his life is arranged in advance, and the people around himAll the familiar people are actually actors.”

Both Yan Pei and Zhan Zheng had seen this movie, they looked at each other and nodded.

Seeing that they understood, Liao Yang relaxed a little.

Only at this time did he shed the previous layer of gorgeous and vigilant disguise, revealing a little bewilderment that belonged to young people.

"My situation is somewhat similar to his," he said, "but not quite the same."

"What I have to say is..." He thought for a while, "I suddenly discovered that I have an inexplicable talent in the computer field."

This kind of talent does not exist innately, it is the kind of familiarity that emerges from the bone at the moment when it touches the relevant field.

It's like seeing an old friend, or a traveler returning to his hometown.

Liao Yang's information does not record that he is a hacker, but he is indeed a computer department.

Perhaps, this is his secret hobby.

"I think it's weird," he continued, "because my brain tells me that I've lived here since I was a kid and learned... oh yes, I forgot to tell you that before I quit my job, I was a pastry chef.”

He said he was a pastry chef, but he actually worked in a small town, that is, in a cake shop.

"If you want to eat cake." Liao Yang thought for a while, "You can also find me."

Yan Pei coughed.

Zhan Zheng thought about it seriously, mainly because Huo Lening was really obsessed with the bakery business.

Zhan Zheng suspected that when he retired, he might be dragged by Huo Lening to open a cake shop together.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"So." Yan Pei said, "Are you really good at making cakes?"

"This is what I find very strange." Liao Yang said, "I do store cake-making skills in my mind, but at the same time, I am actually familiar with computers."

"Of course." He thought for a while and added, "Because I mainly help the boss, and I'm actually not very skilled."

Yan Pei was thoughtful.

At this moment, Zhan Zheng said: "Is the part about your life experience in your mind complete?"

Speaking of this, Liao Yang reacted as if he had been reminded.

He nodded immediately.

"Yes." He said, "I have all my experiences from childhood to adulthood in my mind."

"It's Gu Zhen." Zhan Zheng confirmed with him.

Yan Pei understood.

"That is to say." He was thoughtful, "His brain is compatible with the memories of two people at the same time, one part is extra, and the real memory is hidden. The extra memory..."

"Fiction." Zhan Zheng said, "Or implantation."

Liao Yang's eyelashes trembled.

He once had such a guess, but he still couldn't believe it.

Now, speaking from Zhan Zheng's mouth, it is particularly creepy.

He made up his mind.

"At first, I suspected that I had a mental problem." He said, "But I don't know why, maybe we are more cautious as hackers, or my 'natural character' is more cautious, and I didn't tell anyone."

"But once I started, I found that everything seemed wrong." He said, "So, I began to try to verify my conjecture."

First is the photo album.

"There is nothing unusual about the album. I saw all the photos of me from childhood to adulthood, and there are even many photos of me and my family. But...they are all electronic photos."

Just like paper is about to be eliminated, traditional photos have evolved into electronic photo albums that can be stored anytime and anywhere, and the equipment for taking pictures is no longer limited to cameras.

But the biggest problem with electronic storage is that it is easy to modify.

"Then... I started talking to my family." Liao Yang said slowly, "It's a very strange feeling, treating relatives as strangers and examining them, but...it's still okay."

"Just like what I told Admiral Zhan." He raised his eyes, "My family is a very ordinary family. I have a pair of parents who are not considered loving but respectful, and a pair of mischievous younger siblings. They treat me likeLike relatives, they would quarrel occasionally, but they would come to the bar to persuade me to go home when I was rebellious."

Yan Pei opened his mouth.

"Yes." Liao Yang said slowly, "In fact, I have not found any evidence that can prove 'I am not me' from the beginning to the end. The reason why I am sure that there is something wrong with me is because I discovered that someone is watching me..”

"Who is it?" Yan Pei's spirit trembled.

Liao Yang gently opened his lips: "Strictly speaking... it is not a human being."

"It's our home robot," he said.

Yan Pei and Zhan Zheng walked out of the basement together, the elevator slowly went up, and Zhan Zheng said, "Would you like to have a drink before leaving?"

"Okay... let's go." Yan Pei abruptly changed his words halfway through.

He didn't forget what day it was yesterday.

The susceptibility period lasted for more than a day. Zhan Zheng was able to take the time to come down because of his strong willpower. The elevator space is small, and the rich pheromone has almost turned into substance. He will not be so blind when he warns Didi.

"Sister-in-law is at home." He said with a smile, "Say hello to him for me."

Zhan Zheng snorted lightly, too lazy to catch his slippery loach.

He paused, "What do you think?"

"Huh?" Yan Pei was still thinking about the susceptibility period, and he came back to his senses, "I don't think he's lying."

Zhan Zheng didn't speak.

After a while, he said: "There is indeed something wrong with the medicine that He Qing handed over."

A very subtle look appeared on Yan Pei's face at a certain moment: "Actually..."

"Brother." He said, "There is something I haven't told you."

"He Qing is dead." He bent his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Zhan Zheng was taken aback.

"The death was sudden but not too sudden." Yan Pei said softly, "He was already crazy. Once he went crazy and wanted to escape from prison. He snatched the weapon of the prison guard on duty and was shot dead on the spot."

Zhan Zheng didn't speak.

He knew why Yan Pei didn't tell him.

It has been a long time since the original incident, and He Qing's case has even been sentenced. Everyone thinks that the case is closed, so naturally there is no time to pay attention to a lunatic.

If Yan Pei hadn't gone to run the data once, Liao Yang would have stayed in the small border town forever and couldn't find the real answer, and everything would have been as calm as usual.

He suddenly thought of what Liao Yang asked before they left.

"General Zhan." He said, "Am I the first?"

The first person to be found.

Zhan Zheng nodded: "Yes, you are the first."

Liao Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Then I'm pretty smart."

He seemed to be encouraging himself, but his face was pale from fear of the future.

Yan Pei is usually foolish, but now he said very seriously: "You are very powerful."

Liao Yang froze for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed.

Zhan Zheng knew why Yan Pei said that.

Among those who disappeared at the beginning, Yan Pei ran through all the data, but strangely, only Liao Yang was found.

They suspected that this was because Liao Yang's case was the earliest.

Was there anyone before him, and after him?

No one knows.

Most importantly, Liao Yang was able to meet them because of his caution and persistence.

If he was exposed from the beginning, or if he was not that keen, then even if Yan Pei found him, there would be no results, and he might even startle the snake.

However, not everyone is Liao Yang.

Zhan Zheng took a deep breath.

"You take him to Ms. Morris," he said, "and then to Mr. Herman, and ask him to personally send someone to protect him. Make sure he doesn't have any problems."

Yan Pei responded: "Okay brother."

The two parted at the elevator door, and Zhan Zheng continued to go up, but when he was about to step into the living room, his footsteps stopped suddenly.

After a while, he dialed Shen Cheng's communication: "Hi, it's me, Zhan Zheng."

"Show me Ning Ning's report."

His eyes were dark, like a boundless and bottomless sea.

Shen Cheng quickly sent the report.

Zhan Zheng didn't go in either, leaning against the door frame to eat the candy he brought back from Okaz.

One of the candies was half-melted, and when the news came, he crushed the candy with a "crack", and clicked on each item to read.

No abnormality.

No abnormality.

No abnormality.

...

Seeing the last item, he narrowed down the report and saw Shen Cheng's message.

-The doctor said that there is no problem with the brain, maybe a mental illness.

Zhan Zheng paused for a moment.

mental illness...

Liao Yang can also be said to be mentally ill. After all, if he told those words to a third person who didn't know the inside story, he might be sent to a mental hospital.

But it seems to be a good thing that there is no abnormality in the inspection.

……maybe.

It is still unknown how those people altered Liao Yang's memory.

It depends on Liao Yang's inspection results.

Zhan Zheng was expressionless, but his thoughts were extremely calm.

Not necessarily, he thought.

Huo Lening's memory loss is not necessarily related to Liao Yang's matter.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and returned to the living room.

The living room was quiet, and Zhan Zheng, who was still resolute just now, felt empty, and immediately raised his eyes to look at the robot in the room: "Where's Ning Ning?"

The voice is tight.

The robot Xiao Ming was taken aback for a moment: "In the greenhouse."

"The sun is out today." He said, "Ning Ning said that we should move all the plants out to dry in the sun."

Zhan Zheng looked up at the greenhouse not far away, and as expected, he saw the figure of Omega in the transparent glass.

He breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, and knocked through the glass.

Omega seemed to be frightened, trembled a little, and then raised her eyes immediately.

The eyes are round and round, like a small animal seeing humans for the first time in the forest.

Zhan Zheng opened the door.

It is said to be a greenhouse, but it is actually more like a small outdoor room.

Just like a swing, Zhan Zheng specially arranged this for Huo Lening, because he likes to play with flowers and plants.

In the sunniest part of the flower room, there are two rows of wooden storage racks filled with various flower pots. Behind the flower pots is a fabric sofa and a small coffee table. There is a tea table not far away..

Above are some board games Huo Lening likes to play.

There is a constant temperature system in the greenhouse, and as soon as Zhan Zheng stepped in, the heat rushed to his face.

He loosened his coat and put it on a nearby table.

"Aren't you tired?" He asked Huo Lening.

Hollen shook his head.

He didn't seem to have recovered a little bit, but the pheromone had already wrapped around Zhan Zheng obediently.

Zhan Zheng is a little hot, but now he wants to talk to Huo Lening first.

So he asked, "What did you have for lunch?"

Huo Lening thought for a while: "Just eat."

"Beef stew, egg custard, and green vegetables." He reported the name of the dish to Zhan Zheng.

Zhan Zheng smiled: "I'm so hungry."

Huo Lening believed it was true: "Then let Xiao Ming send it over."

His hands were still stained with dirt, and he was going to call Xiao Ming after washing his hands, but Zhan Zheng grabbed him.

Zhan Zheng hugged him and sat on the sofa, buried his face into his neck, closed his eyes, and smelled the pleasant smell of gardenia on his body: "It's okay, let me hug for a while."

It's as if hugging him can replenish energy.

Huo Lening stopped moving.

After a while, his face became a little embarrassed, and he put his hands on Zhan Zheng's shoulder helplessly, as if he wanted to push him but was reluctant.

Gradually, his forehead was covered with fine sweat again, and the temperature on his body rose again, as if to ignite him.

"Zhan Zheng." He called the other party's name in a low voice.

"En." The man buried in his neck responded in a low voice.

"I'm here," he said.

The gauze curtains used to block the sun around the greenhouse were drawn, and faint light and shadow flowed.The shadow of the flower is reflected on the wall, outlining a gently swaying shadow.

From time to time, a few low gasps escaped from the package of flowers and leaves.

Panting, the sound of water, and intimate whispers.

Worrying about not being in the room.Huo Lening was still wearing his pajamas, but his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water. His eyes were also wet, and his lips were also wet.

He sat on Zhan Zheng's lap, biting Zhan Zheng's shoulder lightly, and saw the reflection of the two people on the wall while shaking, and was so frightened that the whole person was still.

Zhan Zheng snorted, and after a while, he let out a breath and stroked Omega's back.

"Okay?" he asked.

His voice was low and hoarse, but gentle.

Huo Lening closed his eyes, feeling the flow of pheromone in the air, and did not speak.

Zhan Zheng automatically translated it as shy, so he waited and let him take a break.

Then, he heard Huo Lening speak, his voice was still hoarse and a little muffled: "Zhan Zheng, are you happy?"

Zhan Zheng paused.

"Huh?" he asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Huo Le was quiet.

"I just think." He said, "I seem to be going too far."

He paused, "You know, I don't like you."

Zhan Zheng originally felt that something was wrong with him, but now he felt a little relieved.

"Do you have to mention this now?" He smiled helplessly, "Ningning, I know."

"You don't know." Huo Lening said in a very soft voice.

He paused, "If, I mean if, I'm really a robot..."

Zhan Zheng turned him over and looked into his eyes.

Huo Lening looked at him and blinked, his eyes were clear and clean.

"Okay." He said, "That's not the point."

Zhan Zheng thought for a while: "What's the point?"

"The point is." Huo Lening suddenly got a little angry, "Zhan Zheng, you are an idiot."

Zhan Zheng was scolded for no reason, looked at him innocently:

"……Um?"

Huo Lening said sadly: "I'm... I might be a robot, and I don't like you at all, and you promised to sleep with me, I'm giving you unnecessary hopes, I'm that, that... scheming green tea, you..."

He even hiccups while talking and looks really sad.

Zhan Zheng was stunned.

After a while, he sighed helplessly.

"That's why," he said.

Cry like a little tabby cat.

Huo Lening looked at him, still very sad, but didn't speak.

"Ning Ning." Zhan Zheng called him by his nickname.

"Let's get engaged," he said.

The tone is very serious.

The author has something to say:

①The movie is "The Truman Show"

Don't worry too much... Uh, the relationship line won't be abused
