"No matter how your appearance and memory change, there is only one thing that is inscribed in your soul, that is, your unique temperament..." Chu Tianshu said, "No matter what you become, as long as you can still operate, I can recognize you."

Lin Huai:  …

Although Chu Tianshu's attitude was very sincere, Lin Huai still did not plan to tell Chu Tianshu what he saw in front of the photo.

This is not because of the prudence and caution of his own character, but an intuition that tells him that if the matter is said, something very bad will happen.

The 'map', the door, the ball of light and the bet, his rebirth, his wrong memory, and his body that has undergone strange changes, the howl he heard when he was on the verge of losing control-behind him, there seemed to be a huge A game of chess.

At best, he's the player; at worst, he's bound to be a restless pawn, at worst—

He also calmly believed that he could overturn the chessboard.

Besides, he also vaguely felt that Chu Tianshu knew far more than he said.

"You left a talisman for Lu Xiaotian," Lin Huai said, "what are you guarding against? And... from the first meeting, you made up your mind to confirm my identity, right?"

"Because I'm worried that you will get out of control." Chu Tianshu replied frankly, "The 'civilized world' is a turning point for you and me. I don't know what you encountered behind the door. What have you gone through to become who you are now. But the only thing I can confirm is that I want you to see a certain scene."

"What scene?"

Chu Tianshu opened the curtains, and beyond the curtains was the museum square. Potential prisoners who had been imprisoned in glass cages entered the spaceship in an orderly manner.

They were either uneasy or apprehensive, but the only thing that could be confirmed was their smiles when they were bathed in artificial sunlight and the haze was removed.

It is true.

"I want you to see that, once again, you have brought happiness to this place. Whether it's called 'Nuclear Winter' or 'Civilized World'."

Lin Huai stood beside him, quietly watching those people get on the spaceship. At that moment, he suddenly felt that there was no need to ask a lot of things.

No matter what Chu Tianshu knew, he thought, but what he could confirm was that his concern for himself...was real. And he can also feel that he subconsciously thinks that this person can be counted on.

But what he didn't understand was that, judging from the facts stated in Chu Tianshu's words. They should at least have a hostile relationship, why does Chu Tianshu look like they are both enemies and friends?

... Is it because a suitable laboratory assistant is too hard to find?

Lin Huai quickly snuffed out the idea in his mind.

"So." He walked to the photo in the newspaper, the young man beside the dashing youth turned his face sideways, but he could also see the black hair hanging down, his straight and handsome face, "I used to look good... Pretty good."

Chu Tianshu nodded: "Although it's a bit worse than me."

Lin Huai: "...But I think it's obviously me who looks better."

"Then the current me," he looked at himself in the mirror, "also looks pretty good. I remember the Specter version of me, and I look pretty good too."

He tapped his chin with his fingers, as if thinking about something.

"Chu Tianshu," he said, "is it because you care so much about me..."

Chu Tianshu pricked up his ears.

"Is it a face control?"

Chu Tianshu:  …

"But even though I have learned about my past identity, I still don't have much sense of identity with myself as a human being." Lin Huai sighed, "I still think I'm a ghost..."

"There is no big gap between people and ghosts, they are just two manifestations of living things. A person who becomes a ghost is like a good friend who suddenly comes out to him after 10 years of acquaintance, even if sexual orientation happens. If it changes, the time we spent together in the past will not change. He will still be my best friend..."

"With all due respect." Lin Huaixu raised his eyebrows, "I don't think becoming a ghost can be compared to coming out of the closet."

"Being a human during the day and being a ghost at night is also a ghost--"

"Brother Lin, Brother Chu, the two of you are just short of it, get on the boat quickly—"

The call from Lu Xiaotian, who was in charge of counting the number of people, came from downstairs. Zhao Jingtian stood aside with his sword in his arms, silently watching the protective cover of the museum.

Outside the protective cover, black clouds overwhelm the city, and more and more spaceships and cannons gather here.

"...It's going to rain." He said coldly.

Contrary to the optimism of Lu Xiaotian and others, Zhao Jingtian clearly realized that it was impossible for the upper floors of the greenhouse to let them go so easily. This is not a problem with more than 100 potential criminals, but their escape is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the greenhouse!

Therefore, they will never allow these people to leave. When the spaceship leaves the museum, it's time for them to strike!

However……

"My Zhao Jingtian's favorite thing is to take action against people who are pretentious." He thought decisively, "If these people must stop us from leaving, I... Well, the person who came in the spaceship must have a way. "

Thinking like this, he boarded the spaceship with a cold face. Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu were also walking out of the museum.

At the same time, they saw the densely populated spaceships.

The army is overwhelmed.

"Did you know?" Lin Huai heard Chu Tianshu's voice, "Everything that can be connected to the Internet is something that can be broken. Even though machines and networks are built to be indestructible, they also have their own loopholes."

"Let's play." Chu Tianshu patted Lin Huai on the shoulder, "The triumph of a king should always be accompanied by a salute."

What answered him was Lin Huai's smile.

"It's an interesting idea," Lin Huai said, "but I...want to watch it in the VIP hall."

"Even a perfect plan deserves a little more surprise, doesn't it?"

In front of the public, the spaceship docked in the museum and carrying nearly 100 people began to slowly rise. With the jet of blue flames, the protective cover that originally shrouded the entire museum was gradually opened.

"Don't act now." The officer ordered, "Wait until they are far away from the Upper East Side."

The Upper East Side is the most affluent part of the entire greenhouse, which houses the Capital Museum, the consul's mansion and the mansions of many wealthy people. What the officer has to do is to keep the danger caused by the fighting away from this group of people.

In other areas, it is within the range of "can bear losses".

Seeing that the spaceship was slowly heading towards the West District, the officer's hand that had been raised in mid-air began to tighten gradually. The thousands of people who were ready to deploy did not dare to breathe. They stared at the red dot on the screen representing the spaceship, and their hearts were beating like thunder.

'strangeness……'

In the corner of the monitoring room, a question flashed in the mind of the clerk in charge of the radar.

He clearly knew that the one who came to pick up this group of people was the rebel general, Xiu. And what he drives is the most advanced type of spaceship.

Such a ship would have been equipped with stealth and anti-radar capabilities. However, Xiu didn't seem to want to hide his whereabouts.

What is he trying to do? Could it be that he was confident enough to avoid all the bullets - no, it was impossible. Not to mention that the dense barrage made everyone have no way to avoid it. Even if he found a way to survive in this rain of bullets, the violent flipping operation was enough to make the other passengers on the spacecraft spit out their brains.

But what is he trying to do?

The little clerk's mind was thinking in a mess, and at the same time, a little girl was lying on the window in a house under the West District, staring at the sky.

"Mom," she turned around and said to her mother, "Look in the sky, there's a gray machine!"

"Don't look," her mother ran over and covered her eyes with her hands, "the radio said it was just an exercise. Go back and watch your animation."

"Oh." The little girl pouted.

She jumped off the stool and returned to the soft sofa. I don't know why, but the shows on major TV stations today are very interesting. The marriage of a pair of national stars has attracted the attention of most people. For a time, the issue of gender opposition between men and women has flooded the entire Internet. Everyone was attracted by the problems provoked by these countless naval forces, and fiercely scolded them.

The woman sitting on the other side looked at her daughter and sighed.

In another year, her daughter is about to undergo the test that will determine her life, and this carefree child knows nothing about it. Thinking like this, she turned to look at the house on the other side. There was silence in the dull house.

A few years ago, the owner of the house had twin daughters, but after that test, they were both sent to a nursing home—a thought that crossed her mind. Soon, the woman stopped thinking about the family, but looked at her mobile phone that was pushing the news of the marriage change.

At the same time, on the big screen, the red dot representing the spaceship finally reached the predetermined position.

Everyone's breath was suffocated.

three.

two.

one.

"Fire!" the commander ordered.

Under his order, countless people pressed the button in their hands. Dozens of pilots drove the plane, roaring towards the lonely spaceship under the projected blue sky.

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the house. The roommate who was lying on the bed also took off his headphones and turned to Zu Li who was sitting in the seat: "What happened outside?"

Zu Li shook his head, he put down the book, rubbed his nose, and looked out the window.

I saw beautiful fireworks exploded constantly in the sky, and the colorful colors fell on the blue sky, like a sea of ​​flowers in full bloom. In the sea of ​​​​flowers, several small combat spaceships are accompanying the spaceship in the center, constantly closing and closing, posing in various shapes. They are like knights escorting noble kings, and like backing dancers around the main dancer in the middle.

"Wow~ Surprise?" Chu Tianshu sat on the seat with his eyes closed, his slender fingers danced flexibly, as if manipulating invisible silk threads, "This is the public enemy of machinery!"

"Fuck, what are you all doing?!" The main commander was furious, "Where's the gun? Where's my gun?"

"Sir, I don't know either!" The voices of other people came one after another in the receipt, "The gun suddenly stopped listening..."

"I can't control my plane!"

"This... I didn't set the fireworks! I clearly tuned the attack mode—"

The sound of the machine's error resounded throughout the control room, and the well-trained and high-ranking officials were at a loss for a moment. They tried in vain to enter the control page, or tried to press different buttons, but the machine was dead and did not obey their commands.

It's like there are invisible threads running down every inch of the cable, overwhelming the sky and entering the network world. They entangle every 1 and 0, every control symbol and command symbol, and where electricity can reach is the stage it controls and lets it dance. It touches, its territory, its kingdom.

They watched helplessly as the spaceship soared in the sky, like a blue bird spreading its wings and swimming in its divine kingdom. It spreads its wings, leaps into the distant sky with the sound of wind and whistling, with the sound of fireworks and cannons.

That night.

"No matter what, we must find that spaceship!" The blue veins on the commander's forehead burst out, "If we can't find it, we will..."

He didn't say the next words, but everyone knew it. None of them could bear the anger from the consul.

But everyone knew it was impossible - the ship had flown away irretrievably, it went through the whole greenhouse, from the north to the south, and then it crossed the crust and flew to the ground - they couldn't touched place.

"It's over, it's over." Throwing himself on the seat, the commander pinched his forehead, thinking desperately, "My ascent path, my merits, my future—"

All destroyed!

It's all because of those two people... that No. 81, and that admiral Xiu who was against the water. No. 81 doesn't matter, that admiral, did he have a cat bug in his head? ?

And the power... the power that controls all the machines...

Who are they?

Just when he fell into incomparable despair, his secretary ran to him with a phone: "Your Excellency, it's the thirteenth consul's phone."

The commander took it tremblingly, but a familiar voice came from the microphone: "From now on, give up the pursuit of them."

"Yes!"

The commander is amnesty. After letting go of the phone, he slumped on the sofa and sighed in relief.

At the same time, in the thirteenth consul's mansion on the Upper East Side, the thirteenth consul also put down the phone and looked at the uninvited guest sitting opposite him.

"According to your wishes, the pursuit of the spacecraft has been stopped," he said.

Sitting opposite the consul was a young man in a red suit. He leaned back on the sofa, the corners of his mouth cocked, as if he had seen something interesting.

From the moment this person appeared in the room, the Thirteenth Archon never thought of resisting. Like the other twelve, he had already seen on the TV what this man was doing in the studio. He calmly realized that he did not have the ability to resist this person.

"You are the smartest of these thirteen people, no wonder now, you are in control." The young man in the red suit said, supporting his head with one hand, "In this case, this game doesn't have to be played with you again. once."

With that said, he shook the revolver in the other hand and threw it into the arms of the Thirteenth Archon.

"Russian roulette is an ancient-earth game. The rules are simple: put one or more bullets in the six magazines of the revolver, spin the reels at will, and close the reels. The participants of the game take turns Point the pistol to your head and pull the trigger; the one who gets shot will of course quit automatically, and the one with stage fright will lose, and the one who persists to the end is the winner." The young man said in a casual tone, "This was originally for me. The game prepared by the two of us, you know, for opponents with higher status, we always have to play with them, in order to be regarded as sincere."

The thirteenth consul took the revolver and looked at him: "It sounds like you have already found the other twelve consuls."

"Yeah, but some of them will arrest me as soon as they come up, and some will just faint. Really, am I that scary?" The young man in red shrugged. His complaining voice was actually a bit nasal, it seemed a little sticky, and there was a bit of a bad boy acting like a spoiled child: "So I had to imitate the jigsaw and play games with them, so that they really understand the meaning of life. , After that, they will know how to cherish life more. How are you, at least we can communicate well."

"So, what do you want?" The thirteenth consul looked at the man's face, half obscured by darkness and illuminated by moonlight. He looked beautiful and sinister, making it inaccessible and untouchable.

"Don't take me as a vexatious person. I'm here just to make a peaceful agreement." The young man squinted and smiled.

"Once we leave the greenhouse, we won't come back. So you don't have to worry, we will go back to the greenhouse to make a mess. And in exchange, you can't go up there, of course, from now on. Within five years, we will accept unofficial fugitives to the surface, and after five years, we will close this passage." The young man in red said, "How is it?"

The Thirteenth Archon did not hesitate: "Deal."

"Then it's a deal." The young man in red came to him. At that moment, the originally calm and calm consul could not help but lean back. He was grabbed with one hand, and the other hand landed on his palm and touched him gently.

"From now on, the contract is reached." The young man said, walking to the window, "You will be a person who keeps your promises - and I, it is time to go back."

The Thirteenth Archon looked at his back and opened the magazine for the revolver.

"With all due respect," he said, "I've seen videos of you, and I've seen the abilities you've demonstrated. Does that mean you won't die if you get shot in the head?"

He answered with a chuckle.

"Yes, so." The youth under the moonlight turned his head and raised his mouth, his dark pupils reflecting the moonlight, "I am not a gambler who throws a gamble, but—"

"Always a winner."
