"A gangster? I used to be more than just a gangster?" Lin Zihan felt a little depressed when he heard the word "gangster" coming out of Wei Mengying's mouth, and murmured to himself in a low voice.
"No, I just feel a little bit arrogant, but I'm not a bad person. In the end, you just intimidated Zhang Hu and didn't make a move, right?" Wei Mengying hurriedly explained, her peripheral vision falling on Lin Zihan's left ear, I always felt that the person in front of me looked familiar.
"Isn't it bad? The me before..." Lin Zihan stopped mid-sentence. He thought about that night, the laboratory, the explosion, and the sea of fire.
"Why did you come to the wilderness area alone? It's very dangerous here." Wei Mengying said cautiously, her hands intertwined and their fingers started to tussle.
"To live." Lin Zihan said. He really lived to live his whole life. No matter where he went, he seemed to be involuntarily.
"If you want to live, shouldn't you stay away from the dangers of the wilderness area?" Wei Mengying smiled and looked at Lin Zihan, with a firm look in her eyes that didn't look like she was joking.
"No, what I call living is to live a better life without being manipulated or used as a pawn." Lin Zihan said, feeling a little sad.
"Oh~" Wei Mengying responded, "I didn't think so much. I just wanted to study viruses. I hope that one day, I can inherit my parents' last wish." Wei Mengying said, looking at the night sky, herself I don't know if this is what I want.
"Don't you have your own dream?" Lin Zihan tilted his head and looked at Wei Mengying.
"I once wanted to be a doctor, treat diseases and save people, but then..." Wei Mengying said and turned to look at Lin Zihan.
When their eyes met, Lin Zihan felt a little flustered and looked away hurriedly. Lin Zihan naturally knew what happened next, and it was all his own fault.
"What about you? Don't you have any dreams?" Wei Mengying tilted her head. She didn't know why Lin Zihan avoided her gaze. Was she too scary?
"Me?" Lin Zihan thought for a moment and came up with an answer that surprised him, "I don't seem to have." It seemed that he had never thought about it. Regarding dreams, he had always taken one step at a time. One step at a time, my only obsession is to know who I am.
"How could you not have a dream? Then what have you been doing all these years?" Wei Mengying felt strange, how could someone not even have a dream?
"My memory started when I was ten years old. I have forgotten everything before. I was an orphan, a child that no one wanted. Later I went to school, rebelled, became a promiscuous person, and got involved in gangs. Then I changed my mind and wanted to study. I came here. Nandu.
He entered an internship unit and studied exoskeletons. In order to avoid his enemies, he joined the military. Lin Zihan said slowly, it seems that he has done these things in the past ten years and nothing else.
"When it comes to dreams, I probably don't have them, but I still have something to pursue, which is to figure out who I am." Lin Zihan thought deeply for a while and continued.
"An unwanted orphan, a cold-blooded killer, a student who skipped classes, a busy laboratory technician, or now a fairly qualified soldier." Lin Zihan thought for a moment, "I have played many roles. But I feel like that’s all acting, so maybe what I’m looking for is the real me.”
"You are you, no matter what, you are still the same you." After Wei Mengying finished speaking, the smile on her face became even brighter, and she grinned happily.
"Maybe, it's cold at night, so you should rest early." Lin Zihan looked at Wei Mengying, her face turned red from the cold. The temperature was still very low at night in the wilderness area, even though it was already spring.
"Then you should rest early." Wei Mengying rubbed her face, stood up and patted the dirt on her body.
Looking at Wei Mengying's back, Lin Zihan felt more guilty and uneasy. After all, he did not have the courage to face Wei Mengying, "If one day, you know what I have done, you will still say this to me." Chapter 5?" Lin Zihan whispered, as quietly as a mosquito.
Wei Mengying, who had reached the top of the stairs, suddenly turned around and stared at Lin Zihan, "I know Huan is not your name. You make me feel very familiar, very much like a person. I will wait for you to take off your mask." day."
After saying that, Wei Mengying laughed. When Lin Zihan saw that smile, he felt the chill in his body dissipate and his body warmed up.
"Don't look, everyone has left." A hollow voice sounded above Lin Zihan's head. The voice was like the sound of an empty valley, directly hitting Lin Zihan's spirit.
Lin Zihan was staring blankly at the top of the stairs. He felt his head buzzing and countless double images appeared in front of his eyes. It took a long time before he recovered.
"Who are you?" Lin Zihan, who had recovered, slowly turned around and looked at the direction of the sound behind him. There was only endless darkness. Where was anyone?
"Are you looking for me?"
A voice sounded close at hand, and it sounded like it was right behind Lin Zihan.
Turning around suddenly, Lin Zihan saw a figure behind him. Under the dazzling light, before he could see his face clearly, he was blown away by a strong wind and fell to the ground.
"Who are you?" Lin Zihan felt a little incredible. It was impossible for someone to get so close to him without him noticing it. Even a strong person at the Dark Fall level might not be able to do it.
The person in front of him evaded all his senses, whether it was vision, hearing or mental perception, he did not notice that someone was approaching, and even his terminal brain did not issue a warning.
"He is a dawn-level exoskeleton warrior at a young age. He has mastered the trinity of mental, murderous, and extreme cold domain abilities. He also has good mental perception and good physical fitness." The black shadow spoke slowly, obviously interested in Lin Zihan knew everything.
"Can you directly read my information?" Lin Zihan continued to talk as he listened to the words of the person in front of him, and began to digitize his various physical qualities, like a huge testing machine.
"Height, 1.81 meters
Weight, 74.7 kilograms.
…
Computer rating, unable to rate”
Lin Zihan felt like a transparent person, with no secrets at all in front of the person in front of him.
"Can you shut up?" Lin Zihan stood up and shouted. It's hard to tell whether what's in front of me is a human or a machine. It sounds like a human voice. Even the speed and intonation of the words are human-like, but it always feels like what's being said is spoken by artificial intelligence.
"Evaluation completed, identification, identity confirmation, Lin Zihan."
"Is this okay?" Lin Zihan was a little panicked. He clearly covered his face, how could he recognize him.
"You don't need to panic. I'm just confirming whether you are the person I'm looking for. Lin Zihan, is that the name she gave you?" the man said slowly.
Lin Zihan recognized that this voice was indeed a human voice, the same as the voice that spoke at the beginning.
"Who are you, and why are you looking for me?" Lin Zihan looked at the figure in front of him warily. It was too dark. From the appearance of that voice, Lin Zihan felt that the surroundings were much darker, and there seemed to be an invisible prison around him. Cage, cover yourself in it.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to see what the thing she created is. It seems that apart from the core of the terminal brain, there are no new technical means."
With his feet off the ground, an invisible hand grasped Lin Zihan's neck and slowly lifted Lin Zihan up.
The figure slowly raised his left hand, and Lin Zihan's neck was clamped just ten meters away. The small metal Rubik's Cube on his right hand was Lin Zihan's, but the light blue light on it was more intense.
"Let me see how strong your extreme cold field is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zihan felt that his connection with the terminal brain seemed to be cut off. The terminal brain activated its self-protection and began to release the extreme cold field. Under the urging of the self-protection system, Lin Zihan felt that he had lost control.
The powerful extreme cold swept across the roof, but it could only rage on the roof. The sharp drop in temperature formed a thick layer of frost on the roof.
"The temperature has dropped sharply, minus 20 degrees Celsius... minus 50 degrees Celsius... minus 100 degrees Celsius..." The little Rubik's Cube has been reporting changes in temperature. It's not that the temperature sensing system is not sensitive enough, but that the temperature has dropped sharply. , the projected temperature value is also changing rapidly.
"One hundred and twenty-three degrees Celsius below zero, the telencephalon has reached its maximum frequency, and the driver's body has reached its limit." With the sound of "ding~", the temperature no longer dropped.
Lin Zihan's limbs were drooping feebly, his breath was weak, and all the weakness in his body seemed to have been drained away. "Who are you?" He said five words angrily, then passed out and fell unconscious.
"Still quite capable." The figure walked towards Lin Zihan and placed the Rubik's Cube on Lin Zihan's chest. A pair of gloves made of liquid crystal disappeared as the Rubik's Cube left, leaving only a bright silver metal ring on his wrist. .
"It's just that she still has a long way to go before she can grow up to be able to activate this Rubik's Cube. I hope her choice is right!" A pair of cold and ruthless eyes swept over Lin Zihan's face and the silver ring on his wrist.
"Don't worry, I will protect him, knowing that he is strong enough to face those people." The mysterious man looked at Lin Zihan who fell to the ground unconscious. The huge load caused Lin Zihan's mental collapse, "Get a good sleep. "A surrounding energy barrier slowly opened, covering the roof of the building.
"This recovery speed is worthy of a top-notch nano-modified body." The mysterious man stood up and was about to leave. Before he walked far, he noticed that Lin Zihan's breathing was no longer as weak and subtle as when he fell to the ground.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Zihan woke up and found himself leaning against the wall. "Was that a dream last night?" He looked around and found no signs of a fight. He groped his body and found that nothing was missing and there was no pain.
"Huan, are you awake?" Wei Mengying stood on the edge of the roof, stretching against the rising morning light. Turning around, he looked at Lin Zihan who was leaning against the wall, his body moved, his eyes were dark and piercing.
"I'm awake, how did you sleep last night?" Lin Zihan rubbed his shoulders. Maybe it was because he had a bad sleeping position last night and his shoulders were a little sore from moving.
Looking at Wei Mengying in front of him, who may have been up for a long time, "How could I sleep so hard, I didn't even know someone was coming up." Lin Zihan muttered to himself, his voice was thin.
"It's okay." Wei Mengying responded to Lin Zihan's words and saw Lin Zihan mumbling something, but she didn't hear what he was saying clearly.
