tuk tuk —
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Yu Wenyun gave Lao Yu a few arrows, raised his head and asked, "Who is it?"
A confused voice came in: "Me."
"Brother?" Yu Wen stepped over the bag on the ground and leaned over to unscrew the door lock.
Outside the door, there are Qin Qiu and Chu Yue, Yu Wen froze for a moment and said, "Are you going? Me and Lao Yu are still packing up."
Yuyu Yuetao Wen glanced inside - Lao Yuzheng rolled up his sleeves and zipped up his backpack.
Perhaps it was because of the light that Lao Yu was thinner than before, the dividing line between his face and neck was vague, and his arms were vaguely muscled.
In this way, he finally has the appearance of a soldier.
Youhuo suddenly remembered, Yu Wen once jokingly said: "My dad is so reckless, he likes to brag when he is too drunk, and he even bragged about beating dogs with his bare hands when he was a child, but he never bragged about life in the army, I guess He's not a good soldier."
He only knew that Lao Yu had been a soldier for a few years, he had no big ambitions and his education was limited, so he quickly retired.
Occasionally when someone asks, Lao Yu always waved his hands and laughed, saying, "Hey—forget it, not to mention Yong Ying, a hero, I've grown so blessed."
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he really rarely mentioned the past.
Lao Yu stood up with his bag and asked, "Let's go now?"
Youhuo came back to his senses: "No, no hurry. Let's go to Dr. Wu and ask something, come over together?"
Lao Yu was stunned: "Now?"
"Um."
"Then..." Lao Yu glanced around, shoved the scattered things into his coat pocket, and said, "Okay, let's go together then. What are you asking now?"
"Find something." You Huo shook the brown wallet in his hand.
Lao Yu did not suspect him, and went out with Yu Wen.
He thought it was a meeting with all the staff, but Yuhuo didn't call anyone else.
This made him a little puzzled.
She was the only one in Wu Li's room, and the other two girls went to the bathroom together. By the way, they changed the hemostatic stickers for the three students.
When she opened the door and saw them, Wu Li was a little surprised.
She glanced at the old wall clock on the wall and asked, "Isn't it an appointment to leave at 11 o'clock at night? There's still an hour and a half left."
Chu Yue said straight to the point: "I didn't leave early, I came to ask you a few questions."
"Ask?" Wu Li was taken aback.
Boss Chu always speaks straightforwardly, and they have a good relationship, so they rarely use such words. This shows that the question to be asked is very serious.
Wu Li motioned for them to close the door: "Just sit down, what's the problem?"
"You mentioned a project before entering the examination room." You Huo reminded.
Wu Li once said that she participated in a project. It's just that the system was monitoring in all directions at the time, so it was inconvenient for her to say more, and she kept saying that she had to wait for the right time.
They jumped into this exam room because there was a place to whisper.
Although the secret space that Chu Yue mentioned could not be found, they received 154's help, and all of them were blocked. Unless you step on a bonus or deduction point, the system can't hear them or see them.
This is the best time to whisper.
Wu Li is an extremely rational girl who can always judge exactly when to say something.
Therefore, she spoke very simply.
"I participated in the project five years ago. Follow my uncle, your attending doctor." Wu Li said, "Xiao Yang told you that he is not clinical under normal conditions, right?"
Youhuo nodded.
Wu Li said: "I first heard that he treated you for brain injury and eye injury, which was very unexpected. But then I thought about your memory condition and the project, and it was not surprising."
"I was still studying for a Ph.D. at the time, and my professional ability was much worse than it is now. I never thought I would join that project team, because my uncle had very high requirements on me. According to his standards, I was not qualified to participate." Wu Li recalled: "It took two years for me to think about it. At that time, he should have needed a helper that he could completely trust."
At that time, Wu Li was young and had little qualifications. Said to be involved in the project, in fact, he has been hovering on the periphery from beginning to end, and has never touched the core.
"What I'm going to do is some observational study with a group of people—" she pondered, and said in a way that would persuade them to understand: "Patients with atypical brain disturbances, just like the two of you. ."
She pointed to You Huo, and then pointed to Qin Qiu.
"That batch of patients is both domestic and foreign, and the span is very large. I thought it was a volunteer patient collected by the project team to study new treatment methods."
Initially, Wu Li did not have any doubts.
She carefully recorded the conditions of those patients every day, carefully observed every common point and difference, and sent a dozen notebooks. Although she has no access to the core research, she occasionally asks about the research progress of the treatment method.
She followed on and off for two years, and finally realized something was wrong.
"First, the identity of the patient." Wu Li stretched out a finger and said, "The information I initially received included the basic information of each patient, height, weight, age, etc., including occupation, which was written in a variety of ways. But later I found that initially The data should be inaccurate because most of those patients were from the army."
"I was able to convince myself at that time that the dedication of the military was stronger, and it was understandable that the majority of volunteers were there. But then another problem arose."
Wu Li stretched out her second finger: "I've seen an increase in the number of objects I've observed."
"There were only six people at the beginning, and it gradually increased to 14 in four months, and then two more in the next six months. The second year suddenly stopped, and no new patients were added."
"Why is it a problem to increase the number of observation objects?" Yu Wen was a little curious.
Wu Li said: "Because the sample is very important, in a research cycle, sample changes are taboo, which will directly affect the accuracy of the conclusions. Generally, even if you want to increase or decrease, it will end in a cycle, and after you get a phased conclusion. ."
"Besides, the increase and decrease are also planned and purposeful. Four months plus 8 people, six months plus 2? This addition is too chaotic and irregular."
Yu Wen made an "oh" sound and almost understood.
Wu Li stretched out a third finger: "There is one last question - the place has changed in the middle of the project."
"What do you mean?" You Huo asked.
"About the fifth month or so, my uncle informed me that I changed the laboratory. At the beginning of the second year, I changed it again. The last time I moved directly abroad."
At the beginning, Wu Li was surprised that this kind of relocation was already frequent.
"And after two years, the so-called treatment plan has almost stagnated, at least I haven't seen any substantial progress." Wu Li said: "I vaguely realized that there was a little problem with the whole project. Compared with the research treatment plan , they're more like hiding from something."
It's like... protecting those patients while avoiding something.
"After I moved abroad, I stopped participating." Wu Li said, "But because of those doubts and questions, I kept looking for relevant information, and paid special attention to the situation of my uncle. After three years, I have also noticed something - ten Many years ago, my uncle, as an expert consultant in medicine, participated in a joint research project. Judging from the current situation, it should be an examination system of this screening nature. The main developers involved include domestic experts and foreign experts. .I've seen a group photo."
"There are some problems in the operation of the system, just like artificial intelligence suddenly has thoughts close to human beings. For reasons of punishment or self-protection, it interferes with the memory of some people's brains, and my observation objects come from Therefore, they don't remember anything related to the system, which makes the uncle and other related people a little bit clueless."
"I later found out that the uncle has been very nervous in the past few years. Because there have been frequent accidents among the former main creators, I have been wondering if those people were also pulled in by the system. Xiao Yang has mentioned to you what happened to me and her. Was it pulled in for the exam?"
Youhuo nodded: "At your uncle's house."
"Yes, when he came out of his study." Wu Li said, "I kept thinking about whether the system had pulled the wrong person. It was not me and Yang Shu who wanted to pull in for the exam, but my uncle. I They just hit the muzzle of the gun."
"Not necessarily." You Huo said, "Maybe it wants to pull you and your uncle."
He suddenly remembered what 154 had said, saying that the screening conditions of the examination system were "dangerous people". Perhaps the original definition was some partial talent that can be absorbed by the troops, but as the system loses control and becomes autonomous, its definition of "dangerous" will also change.
The person who created it always knows it best, both strengths and weaknesses.
To the system, these people are time bombs, living threats.
Wu Li thought for a while, and said with a soft "ah": "I can't rule out this possibility, after all, I am also half a participant. No wonder my uncle advised me not to take up military-related projects for the past two years. I thought he It's because I'm afraid I'll find something. Thinking about it now... Maybe I regret pulling me into the project, and I hope I stay away so that I won't be affected."
"I can understand him hiding it from you." You Huo frowned and said, "but why didn't he tell me? I have been in the hospital for so long, and he has many opportunities to tell me the ins and outs. But he only said that I was a trainee. injury."
Wu Li said: "I should not dare to say that he has been very vigilant in recent years, and sometimes he is overly sensitive. It may be because you have been in the system for a long time, and he suspects that you have been interfered by the system and become its victim. help."
Youhuo remembered his eyes and suddenly became quiet.
Too.
His relationship with the system is almost symbiotic. Who can guarantee that his position will always be firm and pure
No one dared to take this risk.
Wu Li glanced at him and added: "Don't blame him for his high vigilance. I have found from his calls, messages and occasional chats that they have been contacting the troops for help and organized some people. Similar to the nature of the death squad, but it has never been successful. If it were me, I would also suspect that someone has been helping the system. "
"I saw a man at my uncle's side, and it should have been arranged by the army. We talked a few times at the time, but later... I never saw him again. I think it must be a lot of misfortune."
She didn't speak for a while, as if recalling.
After a while, she said softly: "As you know, the people in this death squad select people who have nothing to worry about. There is no complicated social relationship and no worries. In case of an accident, the scope of damage can be reduced to a minimum."
This is actually quite euphemistic.
To put it bluntly, the best candidates for death squads are lone wolves without parents. If there are casualties unfortunately, no one will find out except those in the know, and no one will feel sorry for them.
The smallest range of damage is to only affect themselves.
Youhuo didn't expect to hear this in Wu Li's mouth.
He froze for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at the person beside him.
Qin Jiuwo sat on the sofa, resting his chin on his elbows, his expression did not change from beginning to end, as if he was listening to something irrelevant.
He felt the confused gaze, turned his head and smiled silently.
This kind of laughter is something he often has, with an attitude of indifference and a hint of reassurance.
Maybe this is the person picked out by the death squad. This is the so-called lone wolf trait.
Even at times like this, his first reaction was to reassure the person he cared about the most, telling him that he didn't need to bet any worries on me, it didn't matter to me.
…
But I have.
You Huo grabbed the hand beside him and pursed his lips straight.
This person named Qin Qiu will never be able to control the scope of damage to himself, because there is a wandering person beside him.
He has a relationship and he will be sad.
