Chapter 194 Chocolate Burrito, 01:10 am
byFor about two minutes, Rosie sat there quietly, her fingers touched the rim of the cold wine glass, her fingertips, her arms, and her heart all became icy cold, and her lips were numb from the cold.On the night when Scarlet Christmas went to the appointment alone, he walked alone in the snow, and he felt such a coldness. The snowflakes fell on him and couldn't melt, and he slowly solidified into ice.
"Commemorative significance..." He sneered, and seemed to shiver heavily, "Yes, he has always been a person who pays attention to commemorative significance, otherwise why would he create artificial intelligence after Rose's appearance and let her be hisWhy do you want to spare my life to be a member of the bionics killing 'art'?"
Just like a farmer nailing a bloody crow carcass to a scarecrow to deter birds that come to steal food, Robert uses these "commemorative" means to consolidate his authority.
Whether forcing Rose to be by his side in the form of an artificial intelligence, or maliciously giving Rosie the affectionate nickname "Rosie" given by Rose in the state of a bionic human, Robert emphasized in this way that he is alwaysThe person who holds the authority, even if the betrayer falls into hell, the soul is still under his control.
However, ten years have passed since Bloody Christmas. In the past ten years, Robert has not occupied the so-called Victory Building, and he has not even erected a monument.On the day of the New Year's Parade, Rosie was called to the roof by the killer to wake up her memory. At that time, the commercial building was still operating normally, and there was no sign of CyberRose's involvement.
Rosie picked up the glass and drank it down. The alcohol seeped into his consciousness and paralyzed the nerves of the brain, but he caught doubts in the vague memory fragments.Since Robert had no intention of occupying that building for such a long period of time, why did Robert drive out all the civilians in the building and take it as his own after he finished the operation and fled to the second district?
He was just about to ask Ryan if he had any other clues, but the upsurge of alcohol made his cheeks flush, and he propped up his forehead in a state of exhaustion.He was organizing the broken language, and Deng Huailing raised a question with him:
"But Robert tried his best to occupy there. What is his purpose? As far as I know, CyberRose has not shown any interest in that building in the past ten years."
"I don't know about this either. For me, all of this is a drastic change for no reason." Ryan shook his head in frustration, the recollection of the past made him feel a lot lower, and he was no longer the one who pretended to be nothing.Chef and waiter.
Like most of the people who fled and came to the second district, he was wary of the dangers around him like a frightened bird, and he didn't dare to trust others easily.But once he trusted Rosie and Deng Huailing, he was willing to provide detailed information to help them:
"However, after my mother died, I wandered around that building every day, and saw groups of giant transport vehicles driving into the underground garage. All floors were guarded by bionic people, and there was construction noise.Audiovisual is breaking through the floor.”
"What kind of situation is in the building, have you seen it?" Deng Huailing's eyes became serious, staring at Ryan's face.
"The level of secrecy there is top secret, and there is no way to get past the android guards without permission. When the construction first started, I tried to sneak in through the fire exit behind the building and get back the menu my mother left in the restaurant.When I approached, I was warned by the combat bionic man with a gun, and if I took a step forward, they would blow my head off."
Ryan recalled carefully, "I took a bold look inside, but before they had time to completely block the windows, I saw a red light flashing behind one window from a distance, and I couldn't see anything else."
Deng Huailing said thoughtfully, "Red light?"
"Yes, the flashing dark red light, you can imagine a deep cave with more than a dozen bats hanging in it, that's the scene." Ryan said, and couldn't help looking at Rosie, who remained silent during their conversationI poured myself to drink, and the whole beer was almost drunk to the bottom.Although he was the one who told the dark memories, Rosie seemed to be more sad than him, "That's all I know, I'm afraid I can't help you."
"No, you helped us a lot, thank you very much." Deng Huailing nodded, and at the same time raised his hand to take the wine glass in Rosie's hand, but he didn't shake it for a while. Rosie stared at him drunkenly, clutching the glass tightlyMoved aside, like a female bird guarding a bird's egg.
Deng Huailing could see that Rosie was already drunk. His lover had never been able to hold a lot of alcohol, and would down after three drinks, but he always liked to show off.He coaxed and snatched the remaining half glass from Rosie, who was drinking away her worries, and pushed the two portions of macaroni in front of her: "Don't drink it, and give you my portion of macaroni in exchange, okay?"
Rosie blinked her eyes and hesitated for a few seconds, as if weighing whether the deal was worthwhile, but she still couldn't resist the temptation of creamy mushroom macaroni, and lifted her fork to plunge into the ocean of food.
He felt so depressed and angry that he pawed the macaroni without saying a word, and the two bowls of macaroni were swept away in an instant like a whirlwind.Seeing this, Deng Huailing handed over two burritos. Most of the chocolate burritos also disappeared within a few seconds. When the last two pieces were left, Rosie poked Deng Huailing's arm lightly, and took the restsent to him.
"Can't eat anymore?" Deng Huailing took it casually, just about to stuff it into his mouth, but found that the leftover part of the two burritos was the part where the chocolate flow was deposited, and the mellow chocolate sauce accumulated at the bottom of the crustThe knuckles of the fish—the two most delicious pieces, like the cherry on the top of the cake, the roe in the belly of the sturgeon, so precious that you want to hide and eat them all.
Even in moments of willful catharsis, Rosie never forgets that he's still there to share the best with him.
He looked at Rosie in a blink of an eye, and she was lying on the table staggeringly drunk, in the dim light of the lamp, a tiny drop of water shimmered on the eyelash feathers at the end of her eyes.
In this familiar restaurant, knowing that the good memories of the past are gone, and because of herself, innocent people lost their lives indirectly, the anger and guilt in Rosie's heart must have added another stroke, right?
Ryan looked at Rosie uncomfortably, and he could already see that since the customer entered the store, his eyes, like a monster in a lake, were turbulent, and endless sadness seemed to be pouring out: "Is he drunk?I have some sober medicine here..."
"Let him get drunk. Sometimes, being sober is not much better than being drunk." Deng Huailing lightly touched Luoxi's long eyelashes with his fingertips, helping him wipe away the tears that were about to fall, and wiped them off with a tissueThe chocolate sauce on the corner of Luo Xi's mouth.The other party was sleeping soundly at his mercy, and unconsciously rubbed against his fingers, that reassuring expression reminded him of Rosie.
He cherished the two pieces of burritos with every gap filled with liquid heart, and continued the topic not long ago, "Ryan, did you just say that you ventured back to that building to get the recipe? Listen to youNarrative, you had little interest in the restaurant business before, you never learned cooking from your parents, and you never thought about opening a restaurant in the future, did you?"
"Yes, that's right." Ryan looked at Deng Huailing in amazement, unable to figure out how the other party deduced this from a few words, "I was not interested in cooking since I was a child, and I really never thought about inheriting my parents' mantle..Before that accident happened, I was majoring in design, and my ideal was to work in CyberRose...Every young person in this city hates CyberRose, but they all want to work for it.”
"Then I'm curious, what prompted you to open a restaurant with the same name in the second district? There are also design-related jobs in the second district. If you want, the drunk in front of you can introduce you to a dozen." DengHuai Ling combed Luo Xi's tangled and knotted long hair, causing the other party to grunt twice under his hands in dissatisfaction.
"Is he working in the talent management center opened by 'Shu'?" Ryan is obviously very slow to political matters, and has not realized that this gentle young man is the murderous and bloodthirsty weapon of war promoted by the main city.A few months ago, I would have been very grateful for someone to give me a job like that, but now, I have decided to run this restaurant."
His eyes are far away, as if looking at the past that appeared in the void, "I used to think that I could understand the persistence of my parents, and I thought I understood the meaning of their pursuit, but I sneered at such a small meaning." Can earn moneyA career is a meaningful career', should all young people in Cecina think so? I'm just being pragmatic, not utilitarian."
"I also worshiped such powerful figures as Robert Dillane, but my parents were killed by him. Since then, I have been living in a muddle because of the collapse of my faith, until one day, a well-dressed military officerHe came to my door and asked where my parents were, and wanted to give them a reward. I told him that they were dead, and he gave me the reward.
"It turned out that the officer was sitting starving by the door of the 'Dennis House' when he was down, thinking about suicide. My parents saw him and gave him a warm chocolate burrito, biting into it.When he took the first bite, he was still thinking about how to end his life, but by the end of the meal, he was thinking about making enough money tomorrow to buy another burrito."
"He told me that after he joined the army, he didn't have time to buy burritos, but he remembered the taste for decades. This is what I disdain, stupid in my definition, but saved a life." RyanHe whispered, "I had a lot of doubts, so I used the money he gave me to smuggle to the second district, reopened a restaurant here, learned how to cook and serve customers, and wanted to solve these doubts."
"Now, have you untied it?" Deng Huailing gently spun the wine glass in his hand, the golden liquid shook, and the ice cubes collided with the glass wall.
Ryan replied truthfully: "Not yet. The problem I am puzzled by is so grand that it may take me a lifetime to think about it."
"Actually, I also have a story, but it's not as interesting as yours." Deng Huailing sipped his beer and paused for a while, "Because the other protagonist in the story never took it seriously. Simply put, when I was young, I was raped by aHe's tried his best to save people—he's saved countless people, and he just saved me. Just like your parents would send a burrito to any hungry person at the door, it's the same reason."
"But I have admired him for a long time, until now. I can struggle to survive all the dying moments because of thinking about him. He is the amulet I carry with me, but I never tell him." DengHuai Ling looked sideways at the person sleeping on the table, his eyes were gentle, "If he had thought about the meaning of saving a weak child back then, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"So, don't think about those confusions. Meaning is not something that can be given by thinking. It's a flash of light when you look back after many years. It may be small, or it may be completely different from what you imagined...but you will find it after all, City of CesinaMeaning that most blank minds in the world can't grasp."
