"When you came to me and said that there was an unmotivated killing incident, I was actually quite confused at that time. Why did so many people have to come to me? Don't tell me that it was Xia Chuluo's fault. This reason is untenable. "
Lu Wen gently put down the knife in his hand.
There was still some blue blood on the blade.
At the dinner party, Wei Boyan came to Lu Wen with a bottle of good wine.
At that time, Lu Wen thought he was going to talk about the fourth generation Vasily of Core Red, but later found out during the conversation that this was not the case.
"There was a gap of six days between the first deceased lawyer and the second deceased homeless man. Because the scope of the investigation was too large, at the moment when everyone was about to give up, news suddenly came out."
From that moment on, Lu Wen felt that the murderer had been secretly controlling the entire process.
"The intervals between the next three, four, and five deceased people are quite short. During this period, you will leave clues to guide me every time. If I decipher the clues quickly and the target is easy to find, then the next target will die quickly. , no matter what, I will always deal with the target quickly after I decipher it."
"Many times I fell into misunderstandings, and it was only after you gave me a few pointers that I was able to figure it out."
From the beginning to the end, Wei Boan's real purpose was only one, to kill.
All cases during this period were under his control and seemed particularly strange.
"For this kind of case, it is much better to find those experienced old executives than to find me. Let me guess, is there anyone else involved? Is that person asking you to test me? Or is he looking for an opportunity to knock me out? ?" Lu Wen asked.
"Number zero." Wei Boyan said these two words lightly.
"Same as I thought, but with your status, you don't need to be afraid of No. 0, and you don't have any leverage in her hands, so do you owe her a favor?"
"right."
Wei Boyan slowly leaned back and leaned on the back of his chair, no longer looking at the two lobsters on the grill.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and seemed to feel much more relaxed. He said to Lu Wen: "It took me two years to figure out the case twelve years ago and most of the content related to the death of my parents, but there is always something There are some clues that I can’t find, even the little geniuses in charge of network security in our district can’t find them.”
Most of those contents are from District 15.
The time span is too long, some clues are from the numerous boat capsizing accidents sixteen years ago, while other clues go back to information about the death scene of his parents more than thirty years ago.
Du Changqing, the former chief of the 15th District, deleted all content that was unfavorable to him before leaving office. This included the ship capsizing accidents that he briefly handled after collecting the property of Hanjiang Company.
As both Directors of the Executive Board, they both have the same authority.
Since he couldn't find many clues about the 15th District, Wei Boyan fell into a dead end at that time.
He stayed put for a long time.
"Until some time ago, Zero came to me and said that she hoped I could help her deal with a bionic man. It was actually very simple. First, let the social status and voice of this bionic man reach a certain peak... In exchange, she helped I investigated many subsequent clues.”
Theoretically, this condition has been met.
Lu Wen’s name is on the hot search list every day, and it is on several hot searches at once.
His face is highly recognizable, and he is known as the most handsome android in Bilan's history. Many little girls give him the title of God.
"Now you are already the leader in the hearts of many androids, and you are also ranked first among the most trusted androids in mankind. The trust rate is equal to the sum of the next nine people. And then letting you disappear inexplicably is actually to make you Give it to her when you faint. There is a prerequisite here, you need to destroy all your data backups. "
The timing of knocking out Lu Wen is also critical.
"In the first week or two after you become a member of Parliament, preferably within the brief period when you have raised the issue of improved rights for androids, your disappearance will cause huge discussions."
"Then a month later, after she had studied you almost, she sent back your parts and fragments to create the illusion that it was done by humans."
In fact, it is just like this, and it only deepens the contradiction between the two parties.
There are already irreconcilable conflicts between the two races, and this problem has lasted for many years.
But the death of the android councilman also announced that the peaceful route has temporarily failed.
"The androids outside Mowu City are not capable of starting a war, so the possibility of Zero provoking a war in this city is very small. What she wants is... the situation."
The situation in each city has gradually evolved into a general trend of the disintegration of this society.
The entire society is becoming more and more turbulent, and it is inseparable from Number Zero.
If any city has a slight sense of peace, she will come to muddy the waters.
"My death should be just the first step and the incident needs to escalate further."
Lu Wen thought for a moment.
"Since the androids outside Mowu City are too cowardly, Zero will probably use the androids he controls to disguise themselves as no-man's land and create some chaos in Mowu City, such as killing a few congressmen or killing some entrepreneurs. , company executive.”
Maintaining peace is difficult, and it often only takes a moment to cause riots.
Those two cities in the West are typical examples.
"So are you going to follow her planned route and attack me?" Lu Wen asked.
"Actually, I just want to see what kind of abilities the androids who can be valued by Zero have." Wei Boyan looked at him calmly, "Your performance gave me a lot of surprises. Even though Vasily already has After more than ten years of study, I am still not as good as you in most details. I feel like you are a real human being.”
"A lot of people have said this."
"If I didn't have a more rigorous attitude towards science, maybe I would also think that there is a human soul living in your mechanical body. I think... this is also the real reason why Xia Chuluo took you away in the first place. "
A month and a half ago, Xia Chuluo took Lu Wen away from that dead villa.
The reason she gave later was very simple. After all, it was a seven-digit customized model. It would be a pity to send it for recycling. She happened to be short of a cook at home, so she took Lu Wen back.
"That case was determined by Xia Chuluo to be a suicide for love, but then I asked her... It felt incredible. How did a bionic person who had only been powered on for a few days wake up? Although there is no way to get rid of the circuit breaker, you can still... Under the premise of triggering the circuit breaker measures, Xia Chuluo was hinted through various details to let her know that the accident was not just a matter of suicide. "
If Li Meng is really a murderer, then Lu Wen was indeed walking on a tightrope in those days.
But Li Meng is not.
So if Li Meng's thoughts could have been known in advance, Lu Wen actually had another way to go.
He could seriously cooperate with Li Meng and deceive Xia Chuluo together, but the possibility of successfully deceiving him was very small.
But with Xia Chuluo's character, if he and Li Meng could seriously explain to Xia Chuluo, maybe Xia Chuluo would let them go.
If Lu Wen had really chosen this path at that time, he might have been somewhere in the suburbs, living a leisurely and ordinary life every day, lying on a rocking chair and watching the sunrise and sunset, while Li Meng would be watching over Li Meng not far away. Yu's tombstone will be kept until the end of time, until the day this world ends.
"Perhaps, that case is the reason why No. 0 discovered you." Wei Boyan said.
"maybe… "
Lu Wen looked at the night in the distance.
With his current status and financial resources, he can already do a lot of things.
The villa where he woke up has never been back since he left.
The food stalls are quite lively at night.
But after all, the excitement belongs to a few people in this city. There are many more people who stay up late and work overtime in the brightly lit office buildings, numbly working hard for their meager salary every day.
"Zero has dismantled so many androids that she thought might be humans, but in the end she was disappointed. Those were just well-evolved androids... Emotions, this is my understanding of the awakening of androids, and this is also the first step in evolution. One step." Lu Wen said.
"Do you think bionic people can really have feelings?" Wei Boyan looked at him.
"I once met a very strange man."
Lu Wen thought of the human councilor controlled by Zero in Baker City.
"The world in that man's eyes is different from ours. In his eyes, all humans are twisted monsters, and the sky and the earth are swallowed up by strangeness. Do you think those monsters in his eyes have feelings?"
The human congressman finally committed suicide by swallowing a gun in order to free himself.
Before he died, he said this to Lu Wen.
If the universally recognized world exists in everyone's eyes, then why can't the world full of cold monsters in his eyes exist
"In the eyes of humans, androids are just a bunch of cold mechanical parts, but in the eyes of androids, maybe humans are just a bunch of aliens made of flesh and blood parts," Lu Wen said.
"This statement is indeed untenable from the perspective of human cognition and concepts." Wei Boyan thought for a moment and said seriously.
This discussion has been going on since ancient times.
Human beings themselves are afraid of huge monsters and are also instinctively afraid of the unknown.
So there are all kinds of myths.
In these myths, human existence is like ants living at the bottom of the world, needing to serve various gods. Those gods may have long tentacles, scales, and huge wings, living in the dark. Under the sea, or sealed in the unknown void.
In the eyes of ants in the real world, are giant humans also terrifying and weird ancient gods? These ancient gods walk on the vast land, and if they can get their help, the ants can easily destroy another ant nest.
Each race and even each individual perceives the world differently.
A potato is just a potato in the eyes of ordinary people.
But in Biyu's eyes, it was a precious server.
"Zero's obsession is destined to be impossible to realize. Resurrection from the dead and immortality, no matter which one, are technical barriers that make people feel desperate, so she only has another obsession left to complete... to destroy this world that disgusts her. "
Lu Wen looked at Wei Boyan and spoke calmly.
"how do you want to do it?"
