Twenty minutes passed.
Li Liang said "Please stay alone in my heart" ten times. The people he called were all kinds of people, and they gave various prompts. The location of the other party kept changing from restaurants, bars, libraries, docks, etc., and even There was a call directly to an office of the Order Bureau. Finally, when he could hardly stand it anymore, the situation finally changed.
The last call came to the front desk of a "submarine leasing" outsourcing company.
"Hey~" Li Liang said in a low voice, "Please stay in my heart, um... and die alone."
The person on the other side was silent for a moment and asked, "Who are you looking for?" The voice sounded extremely old.
After making so many phone calls, this was the first time the other party didn't "add scenes". Li Liang said excitedly: "Cain."
"Hold on."
Then there was a strange mechanical sound on the phone.
Cack, cluck, cluck.
Li Liang suddenly thought of an ancient rotary telephone. When dialing, the dial is manually turned to a fixed number, and then the dial is automatically turned back to its original position, and then dialed to another number. In this way, different pulse signals are sent to the switch. , and then the switch will transfer the line to the corresponding phone, forming a simple automatic connection system.
This rattling sound is very similar to the sound of a dial turning.
After a moment, an unclear voice came from the other side: "Who?"
The old voice said: "Zhongjing, point A, twelve anti-tracking verifications completed, transfer to the Lord."
Li Liang suddenly realized that each of the twelve calls just now would undergo an anti-tracking verification, and the last transfer here was not the end. This person needed to transfer it again.
It seems that the previous twelve people were all "security verification", and the last one is the real middleman.
"I am Cain."
Cain's voice quickly became clearer from far to near. Apparently the middleman moved the bracelet to facilitate communication between the two parties.
"I'm Li Liang," Li Liang said hurriedly, "What's going on? Where's Messi?"
Cain chuckled: "I just said, how could a person like you die? Hey, how about the password I left, do you like it?"
"I like you uncle, what's going on with this android?"
"Don't worry, the phone line should be secure, we have plenty of time," Cain kept laughing, "Were you shocked by 'Messe'?"
Li Liang snorted: "No."
"Come on~" Cain imitated Li Liang's tone and said, "You must be scared to death. I guess the android has been dismantled into parts now. Hey, be careful. That core is a treasure hidden in the bottom of the box. "
Li Liang was in no mood to talk nonsense and asked directly: "Where are you with Messi?"
"Well, don't worry," Cain chuckled, "I've already sent someone to call him."
"...Okay, where are you?"
"Defender."
"What's going on with this android?"
Cain suppressed his smile and said in a suppressed voice: "It's a long story. I never thought that things would become so complicated."
"Let's start from the beginning." Li Liang pulled up a chair and sat down.
"After returning from Zhenjie Fort three years ago, I reviewed the entire experience and found that Yuan Zhen was very suspicious," Cain's voice sounded mature when he talked about business. "A technical director who was abandoned by Zhuos. Why go to the Gate of the Deep Sea?"
Li Liang was stunned. He had heard Yuan Zhen explain this question several times. It was Yuan Zhen's lifelong dream to explore the spiritual world and establish a base. He couldn't stand Xi'an closing the gate to the deep sea.
Cain continued: "Because of what bullshit dream? I didn't believe it, so I spent 30 million to buy a message from 'Whisper'."
The "whisper" sounds like an intelligence broker. Although Yuan Zhen comes from a powerful family, charging 30 million for one message is too expensive. Li Liang shook his head: "Go on."
"Yuan Zhen..." Cain paused, "He died fifteen years ago."
"What?"
Li Liang was shocked, "Are you sure? Is it possible that he has the same name?"
"No, 'Whispers' also provided a detailed resume, including a lot of video materials."
"Is it possible that he faked his death?"
"Impossible," Cain said with a very certain tone, "Yuan Zhen died in an accident. At that time, he was inspecting the armored vehicle production line. A mechanical arm malfunctioned and split him in half. Whisper provided surveillance footage."
"Monitoring can't explain anything," Li Liang easily thought of several ways to deceive the monitoring.
However, Cain raised his voice slightly: "Don't you understand? What I'm worried about is, what if he is really dead?"
Instantly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Liang's back.
If Yuan Zhen fakes his death, things will be simple. If Yuan Zhen really dies, then who is going to the Gate of the Deep Sea with them?
"I suspect that someone has assumed his identity," Cain said. "There must be something else hidden in that plan..."
"Wait..." Li Liang interrupted Cain.
He slowly raised his hand and looked at the blue liquid that had not been wiped clean on his fingers. An inexplicable feeling of familiarity arose in his heart.
Two Yuan Zhen? blue?
When have you ever seen blue?
The next moment, Li Liang remembered the moment when he first met Yuan Zhen, the old man with no lower body hidden in the dark space behind the cell wall, his gray hair hanging loose...
An old intravenous drip equipment hung on the wall on one side, with blue liquid connected to his neck through a transparent hose.
"Blue liquid," Li Liang murmured.
Cain asked aloud: "What?"
"Who started this bionic man?" Li Liang asked hurriedly, "Do you have anyone who understands bionic man?"
"...There is one, you...you mean Yuan Zhen is an android? This is impossible," Cain said in surprise, "You have also seen that androids are easy to identify."
Li Liang said firmly: "Call that person over."
"good."
A few minutes later, a greasy-sounding male voice came: "Hello? Hey, you say it, you say it."
Li Liang thought for a while and asked: "Can human consciousness be downloaded into the body of an android?"
"Huh?" The man paused and smiled, "Impossible."
"Why?"
"Consciousness is a collection of electrochemical reactions in the brain, not simple data," the man said casually, "It is said that Putnam's laboratory has been studying this kind of thing.
In fact, we, ah no, I have some friends, you know, the kind who like to do research, once did such an experiment. They scanned the brain of an unlucky person, built a data model, and then poured it into the engineering model Into the central nervous core of an android, that core is very advanced, I can only say, very advanced, and then, um, he did survive for a few minutes, and then, um, his head exploded. "
"Exploded?"
"Yes, it exploded," the man's tone sounded like he was telling a joke, "They have done this experiment several times, and it always happens like this, and those unlucky ones are always in pain. I don't know why, like Like crazy."
"Then have you ever seen an infusion set that injects a blue liquid through meridians?"
"Blue? What kind of blue liquid?" the man asked, "Where to lose it?"
"The neck looks similar to artificial blood."
"Haha," the man laughed, "Then you must have read it wrong. It is actually a T-shaped stabilizer that is injected into the spine. It is a very old technology. We, ah no, my friends used it for the first time. Stabilizing consciousness transmission, believe me, it’s useless, it’s a fake plan from Putnam’s laboratory.”
"What if, what if the android survives?"
"Hahaha," the man said gloatingly, "that unlucky guy's memory will be confused, and his character will have very serious paranoia and self-destructive tendencies."
After a moment of silence, the man's voice was a little lost: "The more you study, the more you will find that people have souls. They live in that piece of tofu. If you change to another place, they will no longer be human."
