Chapter 359: Doctor's Relics. (Please Subscribe! Please Give Me a Monthly Pass!)
Hearing this, "Shiguang" immediately turned around and saw a familiar human silhouette standing not far behind him.
The other person was wearing a yellowed white shirt and gray suit pants. There was no flesh and blood on his body, and it was purely made up of tiny numbers.
"Shiguang" was slightly startled, and then immediately reacted: "'Sui Shi'?"
While speaking, she hurriedly took out a [Digital Blocker] from her pocket, stabbed it into her arm, and injected it quickly.
This blocker can block the infection at the "digital" level to a certain extent.
Zhou Zhen looked at "Shiguang" and nodded slightly. He did not exit the "digital form", but repeated the question just now: "'Doctor Ashes', what happened?"
"Shiguang" took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at the "Nine-tailed Fox" who was still busy gnawing chicken wings, and quickly said: "Return to the mathematical abyss."
"It was 'Dr. An' who did it."
"The next target is you, 'Sui Shi'!"
Return to the mathematical abyss?
The so-called return to the mathematical abyss of "Ashes Order" is death!
"Doctor Ashes" was killed by "Dr. An"?
Zhou Zhen's heart sank suddenly, and he quickly thought of the four "Digital Rain" he had just met...
Those four "Digital Rain" had obviously awakened.
Although they still used the three-dimensional human body, in essence, they were already life forms of the civilization of Planet No. 142857!
"Doctor Ashes" was the "ninth step". If he only met "Dr. An", he might still have a chance to survive.
But if he met four at once like he did just now...
At this time, the "Nine-tailed Fox" who was concentrating on eating chicken on the sofa in the room suddenly stopped moving, immediately looked up at "Shiguang", and said coldly: "'Dr. An'?"
As he spoke, the "Nine-tailed Fox" took out a small note from his pocket, and after taking a look, his beautiful and refined face was instantly filled with cold murderous intent.
Then, she said to "Shiguang": "You go and arrange your own affairs first, I will explain the situation to 'Sui Shi'!"
"Shiguang" looked at "Nine-tailed Fox" with some concern, but time was tight, so she finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the laboratory first."
As she said that, she turned and left.
Tap, tap, tap... The sound of boots hitting the ground gradually faded away, and suddenly only Zhou Zhen and "Nine-tailed Fox" were left here.
Zhou Zhen looked at "Nine-tailed Fox" and quickly asked: "'Dr. An', why did you attack 'Doctor Ashes'?"
To be honest, if the planetary civilization No. 142857 only attacked him, he could probably guess some reasons now that he calmed down and thought about it seriously...
First, he translated the digital information from the predecessor No. 009 [Pioneer], which was the information of the planetary civilization No. 142857. A large part of it may not be allowed to be leaked.
Second, the consciousness of the [Pioneer] on the predecessor No. 009 was solved by him!
However, these two reasons have nothing to do with "Doctor Ashes"!
The digital information translated by Zhou Zhen was uploaded to the official. Now the official is peaceful and there is no news of being attacked by the awakened "Digital Rain". But "Doctor Ashes", who has not received any information about this, is being targeted by "Dr. An"?
In addition, "Doctor Ashes" had asked him for the battle data with the predecessor No. 009 before, and the other party was very anxious at the time.
He also told him very exaggeratedly that it would affect the future of the entire human civilization.
He thought at the time that "Doctor Ashes" did not want to confront the official high-level compatible person, but now it seems...
"Doctor Ashes" may have known that "Dr. An" would attack him, and asked him for the battle data of the predecessor No. 009 to prepare for the upcoming war!
The reason why "Dr. An" attacked "Doctor Ashes" was not because of the translation of those digital information, but for something else that he didn't know at all!
At this time, the "Nine-Tailed Fox" quickly gnawed the remaining meat on the roasted chicken, threw the remaining bones into the trash can, took out a tissue from the small coffee table next to the sofa, wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and replied in a deep voice: "I don't know."
"The information sent back by the 'doctor' is limited. He didn't tell me the reason, but only told me what to do next!"
"Next, you will be the new leader of the organization!"
"I will lead all the remaining members to fight against 'Dr. An' with you!"
Zhou Zhen came to his senses and frowned immediately. The doctor was killed. All the remaining people, combined, I'm afraid they can't even deal with a finger of Dr. An!
Let him be the new leader of the "Ashes Order", isn't this asking him to die?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen immediately asked: "Besides you and the 'Doctor', there should be other high-level compatible people in the organization, right?"
"I can't be the leader."
"Now I just want to know, is there any combat data between the 'Doctor' and 'Dr. An'?"
"If there is data, give it to me immediately."
"If there is no data, I have to leave immediately!"
"Dr. An may catch up at any time, I can't stay here for too long!"
Hearing this, the "Nine-Tailed Fox" quickly replied: "I don't have the combat data between the 'Doctor' and 'Dr. An'."
"However, the 'Doctor' left his 'Digital Rain' to the next leader of the organization!"
"If you are willing to become the new leader of the organization, I will take you to take over the energy and digital rain of the 'doctor'!"
"If you don't want to, then I will take over!"
"The energy and digital rain of 'Doctor Ashes'?
Zhou Zhen was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he fell into silence.
"Dr. An" now has a total of four drops of "digital rain", while he only has three drops.
If he gets the "digital rain" of "Doctor Ashes", then the situation will become four to four!
Of course, the "digital rain" on his side has not really awakened, and cannot be compared with that of "Dr. An".
But the chance of successfully escaping will definitely increase greatly!
In addition, there is the energy of "Doctor Ashes"...
Thinking about it, Zhou Zhen asked again: "How long does it take to receive the "doctor's" "digital rain"? "
"Nine-tailed Fox" heard this and looked at the small note taken out of his pocket, and then replied: "If it were someone else, they would have to solve the entire "digital forest", and it would take a long time."
"But you will be quick!"
"Because you have the doctor's memory!"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhen was a little confused, "digital forest"...
It means that after the death of "Doctor Ashes", the "equation" turned into a new "digital forest", and that drop of "digital rain" was hidden in that "digital forest"?
If so, if he wants to receive the "digital rain" of "Doctor Ashes", he must first find the battlefield where "Doctor Ashes" and "Dr. An" fought for the last time. This risk is extremely high!
But now, judging from what "Nine-Tailed Fox" meant, it seemed that it was a very simple matter for him to receive "Digital Rain" from "Doctor Ashes"...
Time was pressing, so Zhou Zhen did not continue to think about it and asked directly: "Where is the location?"
"Nine-Tailed Fox" replied: "In this base!"
In this base?
Zhou Zhen was even more confused. Four drops of "Digital Rain" came to the door and killed "Doctor Ashes". Not only is this base still operating normally, but "Nine-Tailed Fox" and "Shiguang" have no intention of destroying important data and evacuating quickly with backup data?
No need to think, this is definitely not the battlefield where "Doctor Ashes" and "Dr. An" fought!
In fact, the real battlefield may not be in Tongfu City at all!
If he had time now, he would definitely ask "Nine-Tailed Fox" for clarification, but now "Dr. An" will catch up at any time, and he dare not waste time.
So Zhou Zhen no longer hesitated and quickly replied: "Okay!"
"Since the 'doctor' handed the organization to me, I will definitely not let him down!"
"However, as the new leader of the organization, all actions and experiments in the organization must be obeyed by me in the future!"
"Including other high-level compatible people in the organization!"
"Nine-tailed Fox" nodded slightly and said as a matter of course: "No problem."
"There are only a few high-level compatible people in the organization, including me, but they will definitely listen to you!"
Zhou Zhen nodded. He didn't have time to meet other members now, so he immediately said: "Don't call me 'Sui Shi' anymore, call me 'Teacher'!"
"A lot of time has been wasted, take me to receive the 'digital rain' of the 'doctor' immediately!"
"Nine-tailed Fox" immediately replied respectfully: "Follow me!"
As she said, she stood up and took Zhou Zhen to a place.
※※※
Deep in the underground base, a small theater.
The lights on the stage were dim, and the curtain had been drawn tightly at some point, completely blocking the scene on the stage.
A beam of light shone down from the ceiling and illuminated the middle of the audience.
There sat "Ji Yu" wearing a gorgeous medieval-style dress. He tilted his head back, resting his head on the back of the chair, staring at the curtain in front of him with a wanton look. The corners of his mouth seemed to have a fixed smile, which was slowly hooking up, and his expression became more and more exaggerated.
Gradually, his smile was restrained little by little.
A long-forgotten memory emerged in his mind...
He was born in an ordinary family in an 18th-tier township. His parents were very mediocre people. They had no high education, no clever minds, and no courage to take risks. They worked normally, went home from get off work, and took care of their children... just like thousands of ordinary families.
As an only child, he had lived a carefree life since childhood.
But after entering junior high school, the disadvantages of mediocre genes began to show, and his grades went from bad to worse. Especially after almost all the classmates went to cram schools and hired tutors, his academic performance was even worse.
At first, "Ji Yu" asked his parents to go to cram schools, but his parents rejected it. They thought that if he listened carefully in class, there was no reason why he didn't know. If his grades were bad, it must be because he didn't pay attention in class. Going to cram schools was a waste of money.
Gradually, he became a recognized poor student in the class. After graduating from junior high school, he would definitely not be able to pass the high school entrance examination. He would either go out to work or his parents would pay for him to go to a technical secondary school... He was unwilling to live such a predictable life and began to look for a way out.
The first way out was the barber shop in the town. The barber found that he had some talent for this business, and he was sweet and good at dealing with things, so he was very suitable for learning this craft, so he recommended him to go to a professional school for further study. After graduating, whether he went to work in a big city or opened a small shop by himself, it would be a job for an ordinary person who could not change his fate through learning.
However, after he happily went home and told his parents, their parents were furious and rejected it.
Solid planning is inferior to all other things except reading.
Under the strong interference of his parents, the barber shop no longer dared to have any contact with him.
Soon, the high school entrance examination came, but the miracle did not happen. He was not admitted to high school. The admission notices sent only included some unheard of technical secondary schools and technical schools.
He asked around and finally decided to apply for a major that was less respectable but more job-friendly.
But his parents immediately refused. They followed the advice of a distant relative in the family who was said to be very well-known and asked him to apply for a popular major.
This major requires practice, so "Jiyu" didn't take classes for long before he was sent to the factory and began an "internship" that was more excruciating than a sweatshop in Southeast Asia.
Part of the internship money goes to the school and part to the parents. Under the high pressure, adolescent boys can't even eat enough.
Hungry, one day he slipped out of the factory and entered a small restaurant. After ordering a fried rice and a bowl of soup, he was in a hurry.
When paying the bill, he was very ashamed and said that he had no money, but he could use his part-time job to pay the bill.
The middle-aged boss looked at him and unexpectedly agreed.
This part-time job is not as difficult as he thought. The boss is very humane and his colleagues are easy to talk to.
The most important thing is that two months later, the boss fell and was seriously injured. Since his only daughter married away from home, "Jiyu" was busy and looked after him like his own son.
After the boss was discharged from the hospital, after careful consideration, he called "Jiyu" to his side and asked him seriously if he would like to learn cooking from him.
The boss is very good at cooking, and the business of the small restaurant is supported by his cooking alone.
However, after the fall, I suffered from sequelae and could no longer bear heavy physical labor.
In addition, the only daughter will not inherit the family business.
On the one hand, he is interested in "Jiyu"'s character; on the other hand, he needs a young and strong labor force. The boss is willing to pay dividends based on profits after "Jiyu" takes on the job of chef.
"Jiyu" was very happy.
He studied hard and was soon able to take charge of his own business. Everything was developing in a good direction, and it seemed that the future was promising.
However, not long after, his parents and a large number of relatives came over aggressively, insulting the boss and taking him away by force.
The reason is simple. The factory reported "Jiyu"'s unexcused absence from work to the school. The school informed the parents that during "Jiyu's" absence from work, the pitiful wages would not be given to the parents.
Although the income is very small, Palu has finally recovered after raising him for so many years. How can his parents tolerate "Jiyu" not learning well?
This time, in addition to fighting with fists and kicks, under the instigation of their relatives, they believed that they could no longer let "Jiyu" go so easy, and they must really conquer him before he escapes control!
As a result, "Jiyu" was sent to an Internet addiction school.
It was a very dark and desperate time.
Even recalling it after so many years, it still seems hazy.
He only remembered that after finally returning to that familiar house again, the roaring that had been noisy for an unknown length of time gradually quieted down, and warm blood flowed all over the floor.
When "Jiyu" came back to his senses, his parents were lying dead in front of him covered in blood.
He knelt down and sat in a pool of his parents' blood, feeling more relaxed than ever before, as if he was finally free, with no more shackles on his body.
But at the same time, a huge emptiness roared over, causing his chest to rise and fall violently, and waves of suffocation surged.
He felt as if he was standing alone in a world of ice and snow, at a loss not knowing where to go, let alone the meaning of his life at this moment.
Blood stains slowly dripped down the tip of the knife. He raised his head, and on his expressionless face, he struggled to raise the corners of his mouth. He didn't know whether he should cry or laugh now.
Diwu...diwu...diwu...
It wasn't until the sound of police sirens came from outside that he woke up from a dream and realized what he had done.
"Jiyu" had no intention of struggling or escaping. He just closed his eyes and quietly waited for his end.
However, as time passed, no one broke in and put him in jail.
He opened his eyes and found that the door facing the living room had been opened, but all the security guards had fallen to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
A figure in a white coat stood in front of him, hands behind his back, equally quiet, as if waiting patiently.
This figure resembles a human being, but is made purely of numbers. It is weird and terrifying.
"Jiyu" slowly raised his head and looked at the position of the opponent's head. He didn't know who the figure was, but he still subconsciously asked: "Am I wrong?"
"Doctor Ashes" looked down at the young "Jiyu", and there was a "squeaking" sound of electricity in his throat: "In the 'digital' world, as long as you are still alive, it means that your 'equation' is correct!"
"Your parents are dead, which means there must be a problem with their 'equation'."
Hearing this question, "Jiyu" seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw at once, and hurriedly asked: "I want to save my parents. I want them to know that it is them who are wrong, not me!"
"Doctor Ashes" nodded, made another "buzzing" noise of electricity, and then stretched out a hand to him: "Okay."
"By the way, the correct 'equation' is that you should smile more."
…The past is like smoke and clouds, swaying in time to create ripples, and finally restored to this small theater in front of us.
The memories were over, and Ji Yu's face once again showed his usual exaggerated smile. He took out a sealed medicine from his pocket with the body movements of a play, and said to himself: "Dad, Mom, do you know you are wrong?"
The next moment, the exaggerated smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by an arrogant, condescending, and disgusted expression, and said in a cold tone: "I am your father! I will never be wrong!"
"You are an unfilial son, you should be beaten to death in school, and you can get me some compensation!"
"It's better to raise a dog than to raise you!"
Then, the expression on Ji Yu's face turned into a sinister malice similar to that of a middle-aged woman: "You are grown up, can you be unfilial?"
"I would rather strangle you to death if I had known!"
Still maintaining the posture of looking at the stage, Ji Yu's smile on his face was restored, but his expression suddenly turned cold: "You are wrong!"
After the voice fell, he no longer hesitated, and the sharp needle penetrated the plastic seal and instantly pierced his neck.
