Chapter 41 Electronic Calendar, 12:20 pm
"..." Dr. Chen was silent, as if he felt that his words were particularly absurd.
Deng Huailing asked persistently: "Is this normal? Other bionics who entered the Huanhai system also—"
"This is not a normal phenomenon," Chen Wei said awkwardly. "It is very, very abnormal. Even ordinary bionics can imagine the most basic concepts, such as pets, vehicles, roads, etc. Are you sure that Rosie'sAre you the only one in the Huanhai system?"
Deng Huailing recalled what he saw by chance in the sea area of Rosie. It was an extremely gloomy scene, as if the whole world was blocked by dense wind and snow, making it impossible to tell the direction.Thick flakes of snow fell from the sky, and torches were lit everywhere, illuminating the pale earth.
In the center of the snow field stands a statue, with extremely familiar facial features and eyes covered with white snow.Deng Huailing looked from afar and recognized himself. Around the statue, on the snow, and in the velvet-like sky, there were still many shadowy human figures, which were the phantoms of Deng Huailing in different periods.Embracing Rosie, he held a knife and walked among the ruins in the rainy night, and in the crowded place, he kept Rosie behind him calmly.
Rosie recorded him one after another, engraving every second of memory in her heart, as if she was desperately trying to absorb and grasp something, but her hands were empty, like a drop of snow melting in the palm of her hand; she wanted to get closer to the most important thing in her heartHuman beings can't find the right way.
Bionics only know how to copy, not create.Rosie didn't understand that there was something missing in his heart, he just felt empty and blank, so he filled his fantasy sea system with many Deng Huailings.
Deng Huailing was thinking about how to explain this problem, when Chen Wei interrupted his reverie: "Forget it, we will talk about Rosie's situation later. There is not much time left. I have to explain about Yue Yesheng's mission. The mayor is getting more and moreDon't trust me, the company's top management has strengthened surveillance on the R&D center, and I can't provide assistance to you on this task."
"Rosie and I are enough." Deng Huailing said indifferently, "What's wrong with you to attract Robert's attention?"
"I'm not sure. Anyway, I have to reduce my contact with you recently, Mr. Deng." Chen Wei said vaguely, "I made an emergency pop-up program, which has been sent to your mailbox for you to use in the Magic Sea system., so that there will be no situation where the 'passage' cannot be opened like last time. Other than that, I can't help you much."
"Thanks, but I think you should not worry about us, it's more important to take care of your own life." Deng Huailing said.He knew that Chen Wei was a smart person and could understand his kind reminder, so he just nodded briefly.
—they had seen it before in Mary Ellis' sea of memories, the mayor was a man of iron fist, and especially could not tolerate betrayal.Once it became known that Dr. Chen contacted them privately and leaked company secrets, the end would be unimaginable.
"For the sake of my life, I won't say more." Dr. Chen smiled, there was not much fear in his voice, and he was still joking freely, "I wish you good luck in the mission."
Deng Huailing and Rosie spent a little time discussing tactics.According to Dr. Chen, the police's positioning system has lost control of Yue Yesheng. The only chance is to invade the opponent's sea area at the moment when the magic sea system is turned on, and then send back the positioning.
For the part involving hackers, Deng Huailing naturally thought of Rolla from the HOPE bar, so he called her.Unfortunately, when he called, Rolla had just stayed up all night and was sleeping in the dark. She picked up the phone and scolded him, then asked, "What's the matter?"
Deng Huailing explained the purpose of coming, and Rolla said in a bad tone: "So I have to be on standby at any time, waiting for your mission target to go online?"
"Are you busy recently?"
"Busy to sleep!" Rolla plunged into the pillow, and was about to fall asleep immediately with her eyelids closed. A transfer reminder broke into the interface, like ice water splashed on her face in the hot summer, which cheered her up and made her suddenly becomeIt's very easy to talk, "Actually, there's nothing else to do other than sleep, isn't it just helping you invade the Magic Sea system, it's a piece of cake."
After taking care of Rolla's side, it's time for the tactical assignment between the two of them.There must be one person who invades Yue Yesheng's sea area and restrains him in the virtual world, while the other person cooperates in reality, and according to the location sent back by the former, quickly set out to chase and kill Yue Ye Sheng.
Fighting on two fronts, it seems certain that Rosie needs to be separated, but Deng Huailing doesn't want to do that.He put forward another tactical idea: "We can enter the target's fantasy sea system together, so the chances of winning are greater. After we get the location, it's not too late to start chasing it."
"Mr. Deng, this is not the best way." Rosie looked into his eyes, as if wondering why Deng Huailing, as an experienced hunter, provided the second best solution, "The moment you control the mission target,The other party will definitely notice that someone is chasing and killing them, and they will disarm the Magic Sea system and escape. In this way, the coordinates we obtained will be useless, and we will still not be able to catch Yue Yesheng."
"I—" Deng Huailing hesitated, of course he knew what Rosie said, "but I don't think you can fight alone."
Without orders from the Administrator, the combat androids have very little autonomy, sometimes to the point of being unable to defend themselves.It is impossible for him to let Rosie go to a dangerous place alone. Whether it is invading the Magic Sea system or chasing Yue Yesheng, there are endless risks. Deng Huailing would rather take care of these two tasks by himself.
In his subconscious mind, he was strong enough, but Rosie existed on the order of the administrator and should stay safe and secure by his side.
"I can." Rosie argued, "In order to help Mr. Deng, I have been simulating your combat style in the program. I know when and what order you will give.A certain amount of autonomy."
"No." Deng Huailing dismissed it without thinking, "I don't think your autonomy is enough to handle this task."
"Mr. Deng, you are missing a good opportunity." Rosie said dissatisfied.
"What about you? Are you competitive?" Deng Huailing said lightly, with a look of displeasure on his face.Normally, Rosie would be afraid of making the administrator angry and give up arguing; but there is obviously a better solution to this matter, and he doesn't want to back down.
"I didn't!" Rosie raised her head suddenly, looking extremely aggrieved, her eyes reminded Deng Huailing of an injured animal, "I don't want to prove who is stronger, those are not important at all, I just want to help youbusy."
"Staying by my side is doing me the greatest favor." Deng Huailing glanced at him and said without doubt.The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the two looked at each other, as if they hadn't spoken a thousand words, but as long as either of them said a word, quarrels were inevitable, so they both chose to remain silent wisely.
Deng Huailing didn't want to get angry with Rosie. He knew that his personality was sometimes outrageously strong, and he could easily hurt others when he was angry, so he connected the external device without saying a word, and returned to the Magic Sea system.But he didn't have the slightest interest in using the "Creation" function. He lay in the waves of the initial interface and let the waves wet his black hair.
The conversation with the bionic man kept lingering in his mind. Between the two tactics, he chose the one that was not conducive to completing the task but could guarantee Rosie's safety. This was simply unreasonable for Deng Huailing a month ago.He has been worn beyond recognition by his emotions, and he has become less like his original appearance. Maybe he will be weaker and more hesitant in the future, just to be able to hold that person firmly in the palm of his hand.
This is not the result he expected.Deng Huailing let the sea waves caress the mess in his heart, his brows were slightly confused, and the light blue sky was reflected in his eyes.
At the end of the day, Rosie is a combat android—not a companion, not a sex type, and he shouldn't deprive the other party of the duty of existence because of selfish desires.No matter how much he likes it, no matter how much he wants to keep Rosie by his side, it is an impulsive approach after all. He hates himself who abandons reason because of love.
As he thought about it, he vaguely felt that he understood something, and directly cut out of the Huanhai system and took off the device.The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Rosie sat on the swivel chair without connecting to the Magic Sea system, just sat with her head down.
The hair slipped down, covering the expression of the bionic man, Deng Huailing could not observe what Rosie was thinking at the moment from the expression.The arrogant bounty hunter has never given in to others after a quarrel. He has no experience in this area, and he doesn't know how to start. He silently organizes the contents of the electronic calendar board, messes up various items aimlessly, and files them again.
In fact, he couldn't even really mess up the schedule, because Rosie marked the item categories with different colors on it, and even if the schedules with the same label were scattered, they would automatically gather together and sort them by time.The tags slipped past his fingertips like a school of colorful fish, Deng Huailing gave up and stopped his movements.
Suddenly his back froze, and Rosie came over without a sound, hugged him from behind, and rested her forehead on his shoulder and neck.Deng Huailing stood there in a daze, feeling the warmth of the other person against his back, Rosie hugged him very carefully, but gently wrapped her arms around him.
The android wasn't sure if he liked hugs or not.Although Deng Huailing took the initiative to hug each other many times, Rosie also misunderstood his intentions too many times, fearing that he would be bored again.
"Mr. Deng... I know you hate me, and I didn't intend to make you angry." Rosie said in a low voice, her voice came very close, as if feathers were flapping his eardrum repeatedly, "To you, am IOne thing I don’t have, but you are very important to me... very important, I want to give you everything, but I don’t know anything, the only thing I’m good at is fighting for you.”
Deng Huailing was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Rosie thought so.It's not just that he doesn't hate it - he needs to work hard to restrain his desire for the person behind him.He wanted to kiss those sad eyes, and wanted to keep rubbing the corners of the other party's lips as he said the words of apology, but in the end he didn't do anything, he just said jerky: "I don't hate you."
"Then let me do something for you." After hearing his denial, Rosie plucked up a little courage and said softly, "I will kill that man for you, Mr. Deng."
