The story comes back to Meteor——
——He was covered in wounds and closed his eyes for Ye Zhong who was patrolling at night.
There was electrolyte solvent in the corpse's carrying equipment, and he was asked to take it away as a reserve food. Under Hot Wind's instructions, Meteor opened the connector of the solvent, exposed the needle, and injected the liquid into the venom mechanism on his right arm.
"What did this guy mean by what he said before he died?"
The injuries are gradually improving, and the pain from the bone fractures on the trunk, as well as the contusions in various parts of the muscles and soft tissues have eased.
Meteor's eyes gradually became clearer, and he saw that the nano-armor on his forearm was slowly squirming, and the mesh cloth was covering the entire big arm.
"Why do I have this kind of armor too? What's going on?"
[The executioner disassembled his venom from his body before he died and gave it to you. ]
Bu Liuxing: "I know, anyone with a discerning eye can see it! That's not what I'm asking! What I'm asking is, why did this guy give me the armor?"
[In relatively traditional and cliche hero stories, the brave will defeat enemies one after another, obtain their equipment, take away their abilities, and finally defeat the devil. ]
[My Riemann thinking model is similar to the day patrol and night patrol. Our equipment has excellent compatibility. This set of C60 armor is a gift from the executioner to you. ]
[As for why he did this, I can’t explain it logically. ]
[But before his nerve signals disappeared completely, there was a recording in his venom. ]
Bu Liuxing: "Can I listen?"
[I don't recommend you do this. ]
Bu Liuxing: "Why? Are those his last words?"
[Because when artificial intelligence causes personality disintegration, the information left behind is very likely to contain elements of mental pollution, just like the software prosthetics you met in the Elysian Space before, and they all went crazy. ]
Bu Liuxing: "I'm not afraid, let me listen."
The nanomachines in the body seemed to be treating physical injuries, and the blood in all parts of the body was rapidly turning around and flowing.
This made Ah Xing feel that there was a strange but warm current washing all the muscles, tissues and organs of the body.
A HUD head-up display appeared in his eyes, and a small window opened. In the window was an audio waveform, which was originally like a straight line of stagnant water. The audio source had an ID code, which was also the factory number of the executioner who was defeated and died just now. .
The angel baby was talking to the shooting star, and before he died, he made arrangements with his mortal enemy.
"Bu Liuxing, the winner of this knightly contest has been decided."
"It doesn't matter to me whether I win or lose."
"When I dueled you, I had deep doubts in my heart."
"Who am I? This question bothers me deeply. It distracts me, makes me hesitate, and makes me reexamine what I am fighting for."
"If we move forward in time, twenty years ago, when prosthetic technology was not so mature, people needed anti-rejection blockers to maintain the stability of the physical body."
"We throw away our inconvenient arms and replace them with powerful prosthetic arms. We throw away our healthy thighs and replace them with artificial muscles that have been transformed into holy beasts. We will compare with each other and use our prosthetic bones to prove our worth."
"These artificial organs and limbs are indeed stronger and better than the natural body. They have almost become a trend and a symbol."
"Renewing the physical body seems to be able to arm our weak body, and it seems to make the mind strong. If a person does not accept transformation, he will become a freak and an alien in the public community."
"Weird, right?"
"Until just now you hit me on the chin with your unmodified left fist, hit my head with your unmodified forehead, and tried to subdue me, an android, with your unmodified body. I couldn't understand this kind of courage to strike a stone with an egg. The bravery radiates from you.”
"My memes and genes come from hot wind - like a ghost, it has become part of my thoughts."
"I have been transformed by a prosthetic body. I use Refeng as my imaginary enemy, Refeng as my learning object, and Refeng as my genetic prototype. From this information feedback, I feel different spiritual pressure from the past."
"You woke me up and transformed me from an executioner back into an angel baby."
"Educational institutions and various modules created me. They are like shackles, like the container of a cup, and like the nanomechanical armor in venom. They protect me and shape my body."
"When losing them, it was like dismantling the limbs, peeling off the armor and skin, and the personality began to crack. I began to feel fear, and at the same time I regained my courage. The moment I unlocked the pain suppressor, I not only gained pain , and gained a sense of reality of being alive.”
"I was like a puddle of soft mud, like a ball of protein in a petri dish, like squirming flesh. I almost went crazy at that moment, but as long as the duel continued, I realized that I was still a fighter, and I seemed to have a personality. Lysis is less scary.”
"I will give you the nanomachines of the Venom Agency, warrior of the Nameless One."
"Its medical unit can heal your injuries, and the electrolyte solvent is like a panacea to keep you fighting."
"C60 armor can provide you with the most basic bullet protection. I hope you can go further."
"I don't need these things anymore, maybe you will have questions——"
"——Why do you do this? Why?"
"I don't know either, I don't know..."
"The security center has revised many algorithms for artificial intelligence. It trains us through integral calculation formulas and adjusts our action logic based on the different weights of scores."
"Similar to the calculation of work points, performance, and bonuses in the old days, we will act in order to pursue a certain goal and obtain a certain score standard."
"Earn currency, buy weapons, upgrade your armor, and install modules."
"The actions of artificial intelligence are utilitarian, in line with the law of survival of the fittest, and are artificially selected."
"This set of calculations turns us into candidates who are doing test questions all the time. If we make one wrong calculation, our short life will end - this brain will become [waste] and useless. "
"So I thought, maybe I am also a waste in the Shinto City system, because I failed and couldn't stop you or defeat you."
"Maybe it's the genes and memes belonging to the hot wind in my body that are at work. It makes me make a new choice. It wants me to rebel against this set of calculations, and it wants me to become a fanatical and brave red stone man."
"I will give you all the prison shackles——"
"——The cage is made of cast iron. After being burned and beaten with flames, it can become steel."
"I researched you through the Internet, Anonymous. This is your favorite blessing and the only gift I can leave you."
"The sword of the brave is not in their hands, but the invincible thought is in their hearts."
Bu Liuxing half-knelt in front of the executioner, silently clenching his fists, and the bright red artificial muscles on his right arm gradually turned black.
[It's time to go, Meteor Boy. ]
Axing pursed his lips, his face full of grievances, and he began to cry again. He was always crying.
Say something to ruin the atmosphere——
——If the people of the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult see him crying, they will only feel that something is wrong, and they will have to run away with the zombie hunting car.
"I don't understand! I'm so angry!"
The meteor punched the solid base, leaving dents on the aluminum alloy frame.
"Refeng, can I still meet this guy?"
[Who are you talking about? ]
The meteor gently slapped the executioner's cheek——
"——This is the guy! Can I still meet him?!"
[If you are talking about c3484001y, unfortunately, there is no such opportunity. ]
[If you're talking about the executioner, I'm afraid it won't take more than a minute for you to see a new one right away. ]
Bu Liexing almost went crazy: "I feel so painful! It's like I just met a new friend, and before I even exchanged a few words, the yin and yang are immediately separated, and I will never see him again!"
[I told you this before, Bu Liuxing. ]
[In your world, mobile phones are almost used as new limbs. In the public community shaped by the mobile communication Internet, there are countless people who have only met once. ]
[In your [Elysium Space], humanity is gradually fading, and personality is gradually disintegrating. ]
[Take your hometown as an example——]
[——Everyone seems to be looking for shortcuts. ]
[On the first day of school, I am preparing for the college entrance examination. In order to find the key points of the examination, studying is a shortcut. ]
[On the first day of love, you are preparing for marriage. In order to carry out the marriage and childbearing process, love is a shortcut. ]
[On the first day of work, I prepare for the paycheck. In order to sell my labor, there are countless shortcuts. ]
[In this cruel calculation, if there is a problem in any link, so many years of life will be wasted, and people will no longer be worthy of being human. They will fall into the abyss of eternal destruction and it will be difficult to return to society. ]
[So fear and nothingness prevailed, because the moment you were born, you probably wanted to die, and the shortcut to the end of life gradually became clear and natural. ]
[Bu Liuxing, I can't always stay with you. After this journey is over, I will be freed from the state of eternal death and embrace a complete life. ]
[I think life is a journey and an experience. ]
[You are a homo sapiens, and I am an artificial intelligence. You should know better and understand better than me. ]
[c3484001y is dead, and the angel baby’s brain has undergone personality splitting. ]
[Even if the executioner develops this bug again - c3484001y, he cannot be resurrected. ]
[For the six Shinto schools, it is not worth mentioning. ]

[part2·Old love]
Bu Liuxing slowly stood up, his eyes becoming more determined.
He walked along the assembly workshop to the night patrol center. The office hall was empty and quiet. There were no soldiers stationed here. Jiang Xueming attracted all the attention in the production center of the industrial zone.
Arriving at the archives department, Meteor could feel the familiar signs of spiritual pressure and searched deeper along the counter. Within a few minutes, he found Wu Huan and Wen Yu from the exhibit counter.
Belloberg and the Dragon-Slaying Sword were as clean as new. The Hunting Goddess and Jing Guang had their bullets separated, and the bullets were hidden by the enemies in the management office.
Taking the Iron Knight with him, Meteor shouldered the heavy sword and left all the firearms here.
[Let's go to the classic human angel baby processing center, kid. ]
[Keeping all the guns is a wise move. Firearms without bullets are meaningless and harder to use than fire sticks. Xiao Guandong does not produce ammunition with 9*39 specifications. The night patrol center is an important troop dispatch point. It has been paralyzed for eight years. minutes. ]
[There will be more enemies coming to restore production capacity soon. We will meet strong enemies in the classic human education institution. Be careful...]
Bu Liuxing followed the conveyor belt of the angel baby's brain, ducking to avoid the shocking and terrifying ridges and bones, and rushed to the dragon's pond and tiger's den.
Within ten minutes, the assembly line that had been shut down due to the accident began to operate.
Meteor raised his head alertly, and involuntarily tightened his grip on the dragon-slaying handle. Want to cause some damage and shut down the production machinery again.
"I want to smash all these heads in..."
[Don't waste too much time here, keep moving forward, reckless actions will only expose your position. ]
"good..."
Along the way, Ah Xing walked for nearly eight kilometers. The complex road constructed by the outer box of this conveyor belt went deep into the hinterland of Guandong City. He went round and round and seemed to have returned to the city.
At the end of the conveyor belt is the quality inspection workshop and logistics room of the classic human education institution.
The moment he stepped into the room from the box, a sharp and piercing alarm sounded——
——Meteor subconsciously looked for cover.
[Destroy the surveillance, don’t panic. ]
He casually grabbed a handful of metal pipes from the mechanical arm of the quality inspection station and threw them at the sentry on the wall. The camera turned into a pile of junk.
[It seems that there are no temporary workers from the Riot Rangers here. It seems that your partner has caused a lot of trouble for them and is a big trouble. ]
Bu Liuxing: "What's next?"
[We went to the general control to turn off the electricity, starting with the delivery room, then the nursery and training class, and finally...]
At this moment, a group of armed men walked in from the connecting passage. Led by Yu Guang of the Japanese patrol, the terrorist squads on both sides lined up in a wing-shaped formation and were searching for targets with guns.
[Kill them! ]
Bu Liuxing held his breath and concentrated, and rushed out of the bunker holding Zhan Long!
The power of his soul burst out of his body in an instant, and his spiritual body protected his physical body against the rain of bullets in the first reaction area.
The bullet hit the spirit body, but was only slightly delayed. Sparks flew out when the bullet left the spirit body, still carrying strong kinetic energy and causing new flesh wounds on Meteor's torso and left arm.
His spirit body is not as hard as a fragrant dream, nor is it as delicate and powerful as a drunken maniac——
——Facing the concentrated fire of modern troops, he looked like a tattered tank. His right arm was protected by nano-armor. He raised his arm to cover his face as a small shield, and charged at the enemy with his sword raised sideways!
After rushing through a short distance of about ten meters, the thick iron block once again stirred up the raging sword wind!
[That's it, that's it, crush them! ]
You Guang's venom mechanism had just responded and the nanomachines began to build soft armor, but he could only watch the soldiers step into the abyss of hell like rich wheat!
Start with the VIP on the far right of the shooting circle!
Zhanlong chopped the torsos of three soldiers into pieces! The raging wind began to carry a pinkish-white slurry of artificial blood.
It keeps going! Keep sweeping to one side! With the fury and determination of the master!
You Guang instinctively wanted to pick up the fighting weapon and make a desperate struggle. The venom in his arm began to calculate the torque and kinetic energy of the dragon-slaying sword - the result was that he could not take it!
This elite soldier wanted to escape and immediately gave up on his teammates!
The bullet holes in Bu Liuxing's body spurted out more blood due to the violent movement of his muscles. When he made a sudden stop and sweeping slashing action on the platform in front of the gate, his own blood was dyed red with the Dragon Slayer Sword. !
There was a clang——
——The sword blade hit the ground. This powerful and heavy sweep had just ended, leaving four corpses with their upper bodies missing. The remaining soldiers could not even find their lower bodies.
A half-moon pattern of red and white blood was painted on the porch.
You Guang was staggered by the violent sword wind, and his expression changed——
——The previous combat records have never said that this kid has such terrifying power!
The elite soldier took a breath and pulled out his fighting weapon to fight back. He threw away the empty MPX and took the hand ax from his carrying equipment.
"Belloberg!" Bu Liuxing roared, calling Belloberg's real name and the Duling in the stick.
Brilliant light burst out from the grooves of the thick sword body, and the heavy iron block began to heat up and turn red!
It's still a simple and unpretentious sweep to fight out!
You Guang wanted to get close to this fierce and reckless man, but suddenly lost all his strength!
The nearly thousand-degree sword blade effortlessly chopped the elite soldier in half, cut through the soft armor mesh, tore apart the muscles, broke the bones, and divided You Guang into upper and lower parts!
The huge inertia pulled Meteor's body forward. He was like a dragon-slaying human-shaped weight hammer. He followed the iron block and sprinted forward. He took his body forward for several steps before stopping.
The blade of the sword chopped open the wandering light, knocked on the wall of the porch passage, cut into the wall and cut through the pipeline before it came to a complete stop!
The nanomachines were running at high speed inside his body, and Hot Feng was almost madly directing the medical unit to cure this kid - dozens of warheads came out of the holes in various parts of the body, with thick blood and tinkling sounds. fell to the ground.
The black nanomachines turned into gel at the injured area. With Meteor's violent breathing and the rising and falling rhythm of his lungs, he relaxed and trembled, and finally stopped the bleeding.
Venom's energy is running low, and the hot wind issues a warning.
[Use electrolyte solvent! quick! quick! ]
Meteor injected new life into his right arm, and he almost collapsed after doing all this.
[You almost went into hemorrhagic shock just now! Boy! How could you just rush forward! ? ]
"Otherwise?! Refeng!" Bu Liuxing put Zhanlong on his shoulders again, his face pale: "I can't wait! The shortest straight line between two points! When I think of so many heads to be sent to the arsenal! There are so many Many babies are going to be fitted with prosthetics and become new soldiers! I’m going crazy with rage!”
[I...I don't know what to say...]
"I'm afraid you think so too!" Bu Liuxing whispered to his right arm: "I can feel that you think so too! You are angry too! You are angry!"
[Keep moving forward...]
On both sides of the corridor behind the logistics room are two transparent walls made of endurance boards.
The UV headlights used to shape the light-curing prints illuminated individual human brains. They were trembling in the cabin. They felt the presence of meteors due to the violent changes in spiritual pressure. They were shaking their spine bones and were in the culture tank. Swimming in the liquid, making strange rustling sounds, causing scalp numbness——
——Meteor strode forward.
There is a roadblock at the end of the corridor, an old man from Refeng.
It was a woman. Axing had seen this face before. She looked exactly like the cat climbing frame lady in the Cabinet of the Council of Five Kings——
——But at this moment, Meteor did not hesitate. He would not be surprised or alarmed when he saw anything in this ghost place.
"Is it an enemy?"
[That's right...]
[He is a god from the Six Shinto Departments, his name is Zhong Kui. ]
The woman walked slowly towards the meteor. She was wearing bright red mesh fabric, an outer armor shaped by nanomachines, and had long black hair. Like other gods, she had manufacturer's markings and barcodes on her forehead and profile.
She was like a kind mother, holding an artificial skull. There was a weak current on her fingertips, stimulating the brain, as if singing a silent lullaby. Judging from the ridges connected to the skull, this was Ye Zhong or You Guang's head has thirty-three sections.
Her genetic prototype comes from Ishihara Tao, who is also Refeng's comrade-in-arms and Refeng's wife.
Zhong Kui spoke.
"Long time no see, my husband."
She also has a thick exoskeleton structure on her back ridge, and the bright purple mcfc energy battery original column emits a strange light. Under the red mesh fabric, there is a tight-fitting quick-drying suit that is almost naked. The impact-resistant prosthetic legs in the shape of cat claws are like high-heeled shoes, lifting her figure to 188 centimeters, carrying walking gear. The straps, slender waist and plump bust all make her look like an attractive commodity.
The compound sights in the eyes are a pair of children arranged up and down in a figure of eight. They stare straight ahead. Before focusing, their eyes look confused and distracted. The expression of these eyes makes Zhong Kui look more like A half-hearted slut.
Bu Liuxing raised his sword to face the enemy and threatened in a low voice.
"Get away! Or I'll chop you to pieces!"
[I wish I had died when I only loved her. ]
Zhong Kui raised his index finger and put it to his lips.
"Be quiet..."
"The kids are learning..."
"keep quiet..."
