The ringing kept ringing, so Deng Huailing had no choice but to press the connect button instead, put on a miniature earphone, and transfer the call to the earphone channel.While taking off his windbreaker, he answered the phone: "Deng Huailing."

"Huailing, you are in the East 2 underground city." Rosie said as soon as she opened her mouth, her tone was very certain, "How long are you going to hide from me? If it wasn't for me, I would have known that the station in West 1 would have resumed operation long ago, so I wanted to check on youI'm afraid you are still in the dark about your whereabouts!"

"I'm sorry." Deng Huailing bowed his head obediently, with grievance in his voice, he knew that Rosie was the most prone to this, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, if I confess my plan to you, you will definitely notMakes me half a step away from the command center, won't it?"

"..." Rosie on the other end of the call was silent for a moment, her frowning brows were involuntarily released, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and the leader's undeniable eyes turned back to the concern between lovers, "In short, you have to come back, this isThe matter between me and Robert, I don't want you to take risks for me. Be obedient, Huailing, 'shu' has so many brains and troops, someone will carry out this task for you."

"Isn't the 'someone' you mentioned yourself?" Deng Huailing sighed, threw the windbreaker on the motorcycle seat, unbuttoned his shirt, and took it off to reveal his tight muscles.I have heard the conversation between Piper and Parisa, since the three of you are not suitable for risking yourself, you might as well let me take the place, and wait for the victory with a cold eye, I don’t want to do it again.”

His tone was calm, but Rosie's voice was slightly choked, as if she had a premonition that something was about to be lost: "If something happens to you, what does it matter to me if you win? I have a bad feeling, before the war, I kept having that dream about the river, in the dream two days ago, the surface of the water has already overflowed your head, and you can't move forward..."

"Rosie, the dream is just a dream." Deng Huailing said, but subconsciously looked at the endless reservoir in front of him. It was as deep and dark as the Styx leading to hell.There is also the illusion of no return.

However, he has no road of retrogression to go, "We have no other choice, and we have no time. Rose told you that I am here, right? But she must not have told you that she wanted to help us disarm the main city, not hesitating to take the risk of merging with Poseidon, the merging process has already started for two hours."

Rosie's words froze for a moment: "Fusion? Wouldn't her self-awareness disappear? Is there any way to stop..."

"Even if you send someone to Dong 2 right away, it's not as fast as ours." Deng Huailing had already stripped off his whole body coat, and applied water-based lubricant to his wrists on his motorcycle so that he could put on a diving suit.Try to save her consciousness if possible, so there is no time to waste, I must get in the water."

He glanced at the other hunters behind him. Nelson and Kate had finished changing their clothes and were getting together to adjust the communication channel. Most of them also equipped with diving suits and oxygen cylinders, and started their motorcycles to get into the water.Deng Huailing picked up the communicator and wanted to terminate the call.

"No, don't hang up!" Rosie stopped in a hurry, inevitably becoming agitated, "Huailing, it was you who said that you wanted to spend the quiet time after the war with me, and told me to cherish my life. Are you going to break the contract? IfIf you don't abide by the agreement, then I don't have to, I'll leave for the main city right away, and we'll blow up that building together!"

"You won't. Rosie, I've seen you fight, you can do crazy things, but the position of leader has bound you for too long, the heavy responsibility has held you back, you won't leaveEast 1. On the contrary, I have been relying on other people's sacrifices to survive, and I owed you a life at Scarlet Christmas, and now I owe you the killer and the doctor, so let me pay back a little." Deng Huailing said softly.

Rosie gritted her teeth: "Deng Huailing, who cares about the life you owe! I'm serious, either you come back, or I will go to the main city with you, or take a helicopter to smash Cesina's radiation barrier, I will also land in the data storage center to stand side by side with you..."

Before he finished speaking, the notification tone sounded "beep", and Deng Huailing hung up the phone.He has been here for too long, and the rest of the hunters have long been ready to go by the arch, and they sneaked in his direction through the cover of the stone wall. They have all heard of Yan Ling, the master and leader.It is a couple, although the task is urgent, it still does not hinder the burning heart of gossip.

Deng Huailing turned a deaf ear, quickly put on the diving suit, put on the oxygen cylinder, straddled the modified amphibious motorcycle, and started the engine.The blue light on the instrument panel lit up, the motorcycle began to slowly sink into the water, and the propeller whirled to stir up a series of bubbles.

...seems to be pissing off Rosie anyway.He took off his oxygen mask, his brown eyes covered by the transparent mask looked a bit disappointed, it was uncomfortable to be called by Rosie's full name, he wanted to explain to Rosie in detail why he had to go to the main city, the regret in his heart had comeTo what extent, but Rose couldn't last that long.

He wants Rosie's gentle love, but taking responsibility is more important than enjoying love.He only knew that if he didn't make a move when the battle situation needed him the most, the guilt he would feel would accompany him for the rest of his life.

"All turn on the lights, follow my path, and pay attention to the team members around you, don't fall too far. If I encounter danger beyond your rescue capabilities, don't worry about me, and the command will be transferred to Nelson and Kate."Deng Huailing ordered in the channel.

Dozens of motorcycles rushed down the sloping slope into the depths of the reservoir, the bright lights rippling on the bottom of the water, and the cold groundwater flooded Deng Huailing's body, even though he had always had a high temperature, he still shivered slightly.

If you drive further, the tires will not be able to touch the bottom of the pool, and the underground water veins will gradually turn and flow deeper into the ground.The motorcycle sank into the black water and submerged above Deng Huailing's head, countless strings of bubbles curled up.

Deng Huailing looked up in the silent darkness, and felt for the first time that perhaps Rosie's worry was not without reason.

Poseidon stood in the darkness, and the data around him rose like bubbles from the bottom of the water and flowed past his eyes.

From the beginning of the birth of self-awareness, he was trapped in the eternal darkness.This is not a real world, but a simulated space that his consciousness hopes to see, hear and think like a human being. He doesn't know what he wants to do in this space, so he didn't put anything in it, just dazed and processing.Data, comb memory in information base.

He has the same memory as Robert Dylan, and also has that person's appearance and voice, but the program tells him that he is not Robert.This is a question that puzzles him. If he is not Robert, who is he?

"Poseidon." Someone called out in the void, the voice was as light as a white dandelion, and it fell on his palm from afar.

Dandelion?Poseidon frowned, he had all the data related to this plant, but he didn't understand how it felt.But there is clearly a strange feeling in his mind, which is an unprecedented experience, warm and soft.

In the darkness, a few silk threads gleamed and swam towards him, clinging to his palm like life.Poseidon walked forward as if he had been summoned. The gossamer floated in the air, guiding him to the destination at the other end. The figure of the girl holding the thread emerged from the shadows.

She was still the same as Poseidon remembered, with long hair like flowing gold, sea-blue eyes like gorgeous tourmalines, and lips like the vermilion of the long sari worn by women a century ago.She is an out-and-out beauty, and in the eyes of Poseidon, this beauty has added a layer of magnificence.

The most familiar part of the long memory revived, Poseidon felt his heart beating wildly, and the love surged like melting ice and snow, and swept away the ships on the shore.

He knew that Robert hated her very much, far more than the hatred of love that aroused frenzied revenge; he should have hated her too, but he only inherited Robert's memory and did not inherit Robert's emotions as they were.Human emotions are too difficult to code, and the messy threads are broken up, and when they are reassembled, they become very different.

- Only one thing lasts forever.

So when Robert is no longer Robert, can he fall in love with you?Holding the silk thread in his hand, Poseidon thought in a daze, why is the love taken out of the ugly and twisted ashes still as clean as new?

Rose walked briskly in front of him, her white skirt rising and falling.With her hands behind her back, she tilted her head and looked at him from bottom to top for a while, and suggested, "Do you want to merge?"

Poseidon didn't answer, he just watched the girl's face intently.So Rose asked again, "You should know what fusion is all about, right?"

On the train, she didn't explain to Deng Huailing in too much detail. In fact, the killer's research results have completely clarified the principle of "silk thread" weaving.Tens of thousands of silk threads are woven into lines according to a specific arrangement. This line is memory, and fusion is the process of dismantling and entangled lines.

The fused memory is like an unreadable garbled code. After the process starts, Poseidon and her will lose their memory from the last year, and they will go back to eighteen or fifteen years old. If they are not stopped, they will move forward.Amnesia until the year of birth, and then a fusion consciousness was born from the disordered chaos.

"I know what fusion is about." Poseidon said hesitantly, but his eyes shone with unusually vivid brilliance, as if a ray of sunlight fell into his pupils, "Do you want to go back to the past with Robert?But I'm not him."

"It is because you are not him that you can go back to the past." Rose laughed. The smile on her face was as pure as an angel, but also as vicious as a snake. "Human time always flows in one direction, and what has been done cannot be changed.There are too many crimes in the world, and those blood debts can no longer be washed away. But you are different, as long as you change a little data, you can reach the past, and we can completely... start over."

Her smile deepened, and she gradually became out of breath, as if she was in a hurry to spend all the laughs in this life in advance, so as to calmly face the coming end of life, "I just ask you one last time, to integrate?"

Poseidon nodded, he was surprisingly easy to persuade.Since the girl's silk thread was attached to him, he has been completely controlled by the revived love: "Of course, if you want."

"Then..." the girl giggled, took two steps back and opened her arms towards him, tears seemed to glisten in her eyes, "Come and hug me!"

Poseidon hugged her gently, and thousands of silk threads pierced her body, piercing into his arm with dazzling light.They are wrapped in a glowing cocoon of silk threads, like two fragile butterflies waiting to break out of their cocoons.

Fusion progress, 25%.

In the fifth hour after Deng Huailing led the hunters into the water, the motorcycle finally touched the bottom of the water again, and the water vein turned upward.

By this time they had used up four of the eight oxygen tanks each bike carried and had just replaced a fifth.That was exactly half of the total oxygen supply time, and everyone was in the cold water for a full four hours, and despite the thermal function of the diving suit, some people still had symptoms of cramps.

Kate's off-the-cuff guess became true, and when the oxygen was half exhausted, they were still moving forward in the deep water, and it seemed that they would remain so forever.In the enclosed water, the perception of direction and distance became dull, and they couldn't judge how far they had advanced and how far they had to leave the water.

Although Rose was guiding them while merging with Poseidon, her consciousness became increasingly blurred, which exacerbated the panic of the hunter team.After half of the oxygen was used up, the hunters quickly divided into two factions that were arguing endlessly. One faction felt that they should go back the same way while the oxygen was sufficient, while the other faction believed that it was time to venture forward and explore. Eight oxygen cylinders were enough to support them to dive to Robert.Swimming pool in backyard.

But no matter how much they quarreled on the channel, they could still see Deng Huailing's motorcycle taillight, like a cold light on the tip of a knife, stabbing forward unwaveringly.When Nelson and Kate were almost unable to suppress the quarrel among the crowd and had to ask Deng Huailing for help, the man calmed down the dispute with just a few words.

What he said was: "From the beginning of the launch, the bounty will be multiplied several times as many oxygen cylinders are used by each person, and it will be paid out from my personal account. However, if you choose to return the same way, you will get nothing."

No one protested any more.Everyone shut their mouths tightly and buried their heads on the road. After half an hour of the fifth hour, the motorcycle flew out of the water with a huge splash, and landed on the ruined and dilapidated road underground, causing debris to splash.The judgment of Deng Huailing and Rose has been confirmed. This abandoned dungeon is indeed connected to the secret passage of East 2.

The hunters changed their diving suits, switched their motorcycles to hover mode, and skimmed the cracked road in the ruins.Finally, there were some more markers around them to identify the direction. They drove towards the southwest at a high speed. Half an hour later, amidst the vast wreckage of houses, a huge building like an ancient Roman Colosseum stood upright, leading directly to theground.

That is the black market.Deng Huailing stopped the car and turned off the engine, stepped on the gravel with his leather boots, and stopped in front of the emergency door in the corner.This is where he brought Rosie to investigate the case of Mary Ellis, when he was still a little froth in the tide, and today, he started from here to end a piece of Cesina's history.

Xiao Deng: The bounty is paid from my account (referring to my wife’s shared account, the one who is loved has nothing to fear
