"Going abroad?" Yu Xun looked at the person on the video call and said coldly, "He has gone abroad, why are you still at home?"
"Sorry, Master, Mr. Shang secretly booked two tickets and got on another plane while I was not paying attention."
"Where did you go?"
"Country F."
After Wei Xun participated in the Chamber of Commerce, he booked a flight to country F that night, but Shang Ke was not found in the hotel that was traced. The clues were interrupted here, and there was no news until he returned to China.
At first, Wei Xun absolutely believed that Shang Ke would not leave behind his research and development achievements. However, when he found out that Qi Chen was also missing around the same time, doubts arose in his heart. Although he did not restrict Shang Ke's freedom, he could not disappear so completely by himself. Only Qi Chen had the ability and sufficient reason to send him away.
"Evan, no matter what means you use, help me find him as soon as possible!"
Here, Wei Xun was following false clues to find Shang Ke in several developed countries, but he didn't know that Shang Ke was thrown by his family in an unknown remote village and town on the other side of the ocean.
There is no regular security team here, and there are many illegal dens hidden, mixed with fish and dragons, and the signal is extremely poor. There is only one dilapidated bus going in and out of the village and town every day.
Shang Ke rolled a few times in the rubbish heap, making himself look like a gangster wandering around. After spending a day walking around the streets, I felt the terrain and environment, and by the way, I "borrowed" a little money from a few thieves.
After two days of adjustment, Shang Ke bought some living materials and got on the bus to G city. Before leaving, he used a knife to carve a robot pattern on the wall of the alley where he woke up, and then added an arrow pointing to G city.
[When I came, I had nothing, and I left with a breeze—20.7.2]
Shang Ke was not in a hurry to contact relatives and friends in China, nor did he plan to return to China immediately. The Wei family made such a ruthless attack, and now going back is just to add to their own obstacles.
City g is a lower-level county of a third-tier city in country T, with a population of only 300,000, and its living standard is equivalent to that of the 1980s and 1990s in China. Shang Ke stayed here for more than a week, mainly to process some relevant evidence. The document was fake, of course, but he could use hacking techniques to make it real. Although it can't stand in-depth investigation, it is still no problem to use it for ticket purchase, passage, random inspection, odd jobs, etc.
During the process of applying for the certificate, Shang Ke was unable to work part-time to make money, so he could only follow an old scavenger to pick up rubbish everywhere, and by the way, learn about the customs here.
Shang Ke didn't think that scavenging was a very humiliating thing, and he didn't care about the ridicule and contempt of others. Every day I go out early and come back late with the old man, picking up bottles and jars and eating a piece or two of dry bread. The old man is very talkative, and Shang Ke likes to listen to him tell all kinds of exaggerated anecdotes. Occasionally, I would encounter one or two gangsters, but they were all easily dealt with by Shang Ke.
Country T cannot ban guns, and there are all kinds of intricate racial conflicts. Especially in relatively poor areas, the law and order is even worse. Therefore, Shang Ke usually acts very low-key, never going out after sunset, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble or be beaten for no reason.
More than ten days passed without incident. After Shang Ke got the certificate, he said goodbye to the old scavenger and took the bus to the next city. Before leaving, he also left a message somewhere.
Stop and go all the way, unknowingly crossed dozens of towns. During this period, he served plates, distributed flyers, set up street stalls, and occasionally volunteered. In the end, he finally determined his main occupation - a wandering artist. With a second-hand guitar, he plays and sings every day in places where people gather on the streets and alleys. Although the income is not much, it is more comfortable.
In his spare time, he did not forget to pay attention to domestic news. The first thing that surprised him was that the old man of the Wei family suddenly suffered a stroke and was admitted to the hospital, and the upper class fell into a turbulent change of office. However, the Wei family has a profound background, and although there is some turbulence, it does not affect the overall situation.
From sporadic lace reports, Shang Ke learned that Wei Xun was still in charge of the construction of a science and technology park in China, and by the way made an appointment and had tea with a female pianist.
Shang Ke sat in the Internet cafe, biting a hamburger while staring at the large picture on the webpage. Damn guy, he eats grass in a foreign country, but he steals incense at home.
"You're done, do you know?" Shang Ke pointed at someone in the picture viciously.
He ate the hamburger in threes, took a few sips, wiped his hands, and started working on the keyboard.
Country Z, in the laboratory.
A group of technicians are analyzing the program code of the first robot, but a month or two have passed, and they have not researched much. To be more precise, the results of their research were completely different from expectations. Recompiling the program according to this code, it is not as intelligent as the first number, only slightly higher than the current robots on the market, but this gap is not enough to make their products stand out.
In the end, they came to two possibilities, one is that the intelligence of the first number is exaggerated; the other is that the real core code is not on the first number.
They don't know that the robot developed by Shang Ke has the function of identifying the owner. No one except the owner can tamper with the core program. Once the alarm is triggered, the main program of No. 1 will immediately pass through the network and escape into the network of Shang Ke. Reserved safe house.
When Shang Ke opened the safe house, Chuhao immediately followed the data stream to find his location, sneaked into the computer, scanned his face through the camera, and verified his identity with his voice.
[Coco, long time no see.]The voice of No. 1, no joy and no sorrow, came from the earphones.
"Long time no see, number one."
[Coco, my body was occupied by the bad guys, you must help me get it back.]
"No problem, I'll teach you those bad guys a lesson when I get back."
[When will Coco go back?]
Shang Ke thought about it and replied, "Wait until he finds me."
"Evan, is there any news about Coco yet?" Wei Xun looked gloomily at the night scene of the flickering lights outside the window.
"Sorry, Lord, I haven't found it yet." Evan paused, then said, "But we found Qi Chen."
Wei Xun's eyes narrowed: "Where is he?"
"Just boarded the plane to country T two hours ago."
"Country T?" Country T and Country F are hundreds of thousands of miles apart, completely opposite to the route in the intelligence.
"Qi Chen asked me to give you a word."
"What?"
"'If I had known this, even if I fought my life, I wouldn't let him stay by your side'."
Wei Xun frowned, what do you mean? Wasn't it hidden by him? Is there another secret to this matter
"Evan, reorganize the clues about Coco's disappearance, and don't let anyone who has been in contact with him let go." Wei Xun seemed to think of something, his face became more and more ugly, "In addition, immediately order me a ticket to T country. I hope you can investigate new results before I arrive in country T."
Shang Ke picked up his guitar and walked towards the river bank, ready to start a new day of busking.
The weather gradually turned cold, Shang Ke's fingers were frozen red, but his eyes were still bright.
He sat on the bench and sang softly melodious songs to drive away the cold and tiredness of the people who came and went.
At this moment, a figure walked slowly to his side, the familiar atmosphere made Shang Ke's heart skip a beat, he raised his head in surprise, but what he saw was... Qi Chen
Why is it Qi Chen? Why Qi Chen? Why is it Qi Chen... This sentence keeps rolling in my mind.
Shang Ke looked at him blankly.
"I'm here to pick you up." Qi Chen stretched out his hand towards him, and there was a small black mole in his palm.
Shang Ke looked puzzled. In his memory, Qi Chen didn't have a mole on his palm, why did he suddenly have a mole now? And the breath on his body has also changed, becoming so familiar. If he didn't look at his face, he almost thought the man in front of him was disguised by Wei Xun.
"Coco." Qi Chen sat beside him and gently embraced him, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Shang Ke's body was stiff, his right eye kept beating, his thoughts were a little confused, he let Qi Chen wrap him, took the rental car, and drove all the way to the hotel.
"Let's rest here for a few days, and I'll take you home when your documents come down." Qi Chen closed the door and looked at Shang Ke's straight back, red and swollen fingers, and the frost on his body, unable to hold back for a while. Heartbroken, he reached out and hugged him tightly.
"Qi Chen?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Qi Chen buried his head on the side of his neck.
Shang Ke's body is a little hot, and he feels that the person holding him is his lover, but he is clearly Qi Chen...
In a trance, his lips became hot, and Qi Chen kissed him regardless.
Shang Ke hesitated for two seconds, then suddenly felt a tingling pain in his brain, cleared his mind, and pushed Qi Chen away suddenly.
"I'm tired, go take a shower first." Shang Ke walked into the bathroom quickly, leaving behind Qi Chen with a condensed face.
Leaning against the door, Shang Ke looked up at the ceiling, a glimmer of enlightenment flashing in his eyes.
At that moment just now, he finally confirmed it.
He is not his lover.
He is... not alone.
The culprit who sent Chen Xiao and Shou Mo into the cursed cycle. The familiar aura on his body should belong to the soul Chen Xiao left in the reincarnation lamp.
No wonder the system has not been prompted, because it was controlled by the awakened Wu Du.
No wonder the reincarnation lamp will be activated in this life, because Wu Du also reincarnated into this world. As the original user of the reincarnation lamp, although he has lost most of the power of the curse, his memory is enough to allow him to regain control of the reincarnation lamp.
In the face of Wu Du, who has recovered his memory and has a system, he and Wei Xun are probably not opponents. Even if he has no mana, the system is his biggest golden finger.
Shang Ke clenched his fists tightly, seeing that there is only the last curse of reincarnation left, is it going to fall short? Then he kept looking for death before, didn't he find it in vain
court death…
Shang Ke's eyes lit up, as if he had caught the key.
What is the mission of reincarnation? It is to let him die heroically in different worlds.
"To die" is a curse.
But "heroic" is an opportunity.
The reason why he was able to obtain the Key of Retrospect was because of the accumulation of heroic points. Therefore, "heroic" is the key to breaking the curse!
After so many lives, Wu Du's control over the lamp of reincarnation has long been weakened. As long as he completes the last heroic mission, he should be able to completely break the ban and get rid of the curse of being alone.
So, he still had to die heroically last time.
Shang Ke looked at himself in the mirror, his vision gradually blurred, and there was both the joy of liberation and the sadness of parting in his heart...
Two hours later, Wei Xun boarded the plane with two cronies.
After flying for dozens of hours, Wei Xun received Evan's message just after walking out of the airport. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still stung by the truth. He never doubted his family at all, and thought he was doing a good job of concealing it, but as a result, they had already made plans secretly. Use the bodyguard's family to threaten him, deceive Coco's trust, and when he completes the research and development, immediately dispose of him like garbage.
Thinking about the nonchalance of his parents during this period of time, they repeatedly used his grandfather's illness to stumble his footsteps, forced him to go on a blind date, and created false clues to confuse the public. From the beginning to the end, he never suspected them, and kept focusing on Shang Ke and Qi Chen's adultery.
"Where is he now?" Yu Xun asked in a cold voice.
"I only found the original location: Slu Town."
Dead End Town
"MD!" This is a place name given by some bastard, I have never heard of it!
Wei Xun asked the bodyguard to rent a car, and then rushed to the destination.
On the way, Wei Xun already had a general understanding of Slu Town. In short, this is a barren town with chaos in law and order, full of pornography, gambling, drugs and violence.
Wei Xun couldn't believe what would happen to Shang Ke being sent to that kind of place!
"Bastard!" Yu Xun slammed the car window heavily, "Hurry up, drive faster!"
The car had been driving for three days before it was handed over to Slu Town.
Wei Xun first found the local gang leader, showed them Shang Ke's photos, and then paid them to help them find it. At the same time, he also contacted his own people and asked them to come over as soon as possible.
Shang Ke was a foreigner. Although he made a disguise, there was news soon.
"Is it here?" Wei Xun looked at the dark and damp alley in front of him with an extremely difficult expression on his face.
"Yes, I saw him coming out of here," said a local tremblingly.
Wei Xun pursed his lips and stepped into the alley. An unpleasant odor came out of his nose. The ground was littered with rubbish and dirty sewage.
Wei Xun's tall body made the narrow alley even more cramped.
Shang Ke was thrown in such a dirty place? A person, penniless, helpless. Does he speak T Mandarin? How to eat without money? Where do you sleep? Have you been bullied
Wei Xun slammed a punch against the wall, his eyes full of annoyance and anger. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a trace on the wall.
[When I came, I had nothing, and I left with a breeze—20.7.2]
→g city.
Come to me dear.
