Shang Ke put on new clothes, adjusted his appearance, and instantly changed from a wandering artist to a capable and promising young man.
After determining the goal of heroic death, he was relieved, and he was no longer as cautious and worried as before. He is a man who wants to conquer death, so why should he be afraid to fight against the world
"Let's go, Qi Chen, let's go back to China." Shang Ke gave his guitar to a child, and walked lightly, accompanied by Qi Chen who had recovered Wu Du's memory and obtained the system. Qi Chen probably didn't know that he kept the memory of his previous life, and Shang Ke naturally wouldn't expose it.
Whether it is the former junior brother Wu Du or the current hair Xiao Qi Chen, Shang Ke can't say that he hates him, but he doesn't have the affection of the past. Wu Du may love him, but his love is mixed with too much unwillingness and hatred, like a pissed off child who has to score a victory or defeat.
"Coco, what are you laughing at?" Qi Chen looked at him inexplicably.
"I laugh at you for wearing underwear."
"What? No! I'm not wearing underwear at all today!"
"… "
Wei Xun followed the clues to City G and searched all the way. He found the same robot engravings in the back alleys of bars, ruins, construction sites and other places, all over the town. Wei Xun asked around, and found no signs of Cocoa working in these places. Until he saw a line on the cart of an old scavenger: [The feeling of not taking a bath for five days is like making sauerkraut, drying it, soaking it, and waiting for it to ferment slowly. 20.7.15]→Sangwei Town.
"Oh, Sweet Boy." The old scavenger smiled when he saw the photo Wei Xun took out, "I like him very much. He stayed by my side for more than ten days."
"Stayed by your side for more than ten days?" Wei Xun couldn't help but clenched his heart as he looked at the old scavenger with messy hair, tattered clothes, and a stench on his body. It's no wonder that Coco's footprints are almost all over the whole town, but he can't find any news about him, because no one will pay attention to a lowly and humble scavenger.
Yes, Coco has no ID, what else can he do except pick up garbage
Wei Xun went to the place where the old scavenger used to live. It was an abandoned warehouse, with air leaking from all sides and dim light. There were all kinds of bottles and jars piled up on the ground. It is made, but the tailoring and design are very careful, obviously out of place here.
"Oh, you said this?" The old scavenger replied with a smile, "It was made by Sweet Boy. He said that the original bed was too damp and it was not good for his health after sleeping for a long time, so he made two new ones. I have to say, he Your hands are so skillful, if you apply for a tailor, there will definitely be many masters rushing for it…”
Wei Xun did not continue to listen to the old man's ramble, and looked deeply at the bed Coco once slept in. In his mind, he was sitting in the dark corner of the warehouse sewing mattresses. Indulging in adversity, he did not forget to make life more comfortable under limited conditions.
It seems that Wei Xun has never understood him in depth, but just based on the impulse and desire in his heart, he forcibly took him as his own, so that he ignored his truly beautiful characteristics.
Saying goodbye to the old scavenger, Wei Xun continued on his journey to find cocoa.
Next stop - Sangwei Town. Judging from the route that Cocoa can take, his goal should be the metropolis. But he didn't have any documents on him, what was he going to do for a living? You can't keep picking up trash, can you
Soon, Wei Xun knew the answer.
He found the mark left by Coco in a small restaurant in Sanwei Town. Coco worked in the restaurant for ten days as a dishwasher, and also part-time as a porter and cleaner. He rested for 7 hours a day. His salary was meager, and he didn't even have a tip. The owner was obviously exploiting his employees.
Wei Xun was very angry, and people reported the restaurant for reasons such as "employment of child labor, unqualified hygiene, and use of waste oil".
[Bosses who harshly pay their employees are all cacti in the swamp, absorbing too much water and soaking themselves to death sooner or later (lighting candles). 20.7.26] → Coron.
Then, Wei Xun successively found traces left by Coco in cities such as Cologne, Kip, Kontas, and Balu. Walking in his footsteps and savoring everything he feels is like walking through a spiritual journey.
[It turns out that some people really like to eat rotten fish, ram testicles, eggs that are about to break... Well, Contas, please allow me to say goodbye to you carefully. 20.8.10]
[Today, I met a cold-hearted driver known as a "racing warrior", and after a three-hour roller coaster ride, I realized that "warrior" may be a derogatory term that has been glorified by art. 20.9.17]
[Buying a second-hand guitar with two-thirds of my savings, I decided to be a free wandering artist. 20.11.11]
…
Wei Xun was reluctant to miss any traces left by Coco, and it took nearly two weeks to find Danfenib, the capital of country T.
He didn't look for it immediately, but sent a large number of people to investigate first, trying to save time as much as possible. After all, the further back you go, the wider the area and the larger the population, the more difficult it will be to find it. With the strength of one person alone, I am afraid that it may not be possible to find them in a few months.
"Master, this is the video that my subordinate just intercepted on the Internet." The bodyguard handed an iPad to Yu Xun.
On the screen is a video recorded by a mobile phone. The picture is a little shaky, but the image is clear. A man is sitting on a park bench, holding a guitar in his hand, playing and singing intently. His face was as white as snow jade in the cold wind, his eyes were half-drooping, his expression was soft, his black hair fluttered gently between his foreheads, his bright red lips became the brightest color in the picture, and he sang beautifully one by one. The song attracted passers-by to stop and listen, and from time to time they could hear the girl's excited low voice.
Wei Xun noticed the stains on his clothes, the torn trousers, and the redness and swelling on his fingers. Looking at his gentle smile and sparkling eyes, his annoyance and pity couldn't be added, and he wanted to rush over and hug him immediately.
"Where is he now?" Yu Xun asked.
"I've already returned to China." The bodyguard paused and added, "With Mr. Qi."
Wei Xun didn't react much, just played the video over and over again.
Half an hour later, he said, "Go book a ticket."
At 1 p.m., Wei Xun boarded the plane back home with a guitar he bought from a child.
When Wei Xun was still looking for Shang Ke in country T, Shang Ke had already started doing things in the country. He pushed aside the private room of the restaurant and walked slowly towards someone on the sofa.
"Mr. Wei, it's the first time we met, I'm Shang Ke." Shang Ke stood in front of the man and said with a smile, "You should be familiar with me, so I won't go into details. You may not be in a good mood right now, but I still want to thank you for coming to the appointment today."
Wei Xingye, also known as Wei Xun's father, stared at Shang Ke coldly without saying a word.
Shang Ke sat down on the sofa beside him and said calmly, "I'll get straight to the point, your son, I want it."
Wei Xingye's mouth twitched, obviously not expecting him to be so domineering.
"It's a good deal to exchange a son for a stable family." Shang Ke looked directly into Wei Xingye's eyes, "Don't threaten me with your identity, you have now lost this qualification."
Wei Xingye snorted coldly and said, "Children, some things can't be done just by a moment's will."
"You're right, so I prepared a lot of chips." Shang Ke said with a smile, "The transaction details sent to you the day before yesterday are one of them. Are you satisfied?"
"Where did you get it?" Wei Xingye stared at him aggressively. If these materials were so easy to obtain, their Wei family would have been finished long ago.
Shang Ke did not answer his question, but continued: "Other information, I will send you regularly until you agree to my conditions."
"Can you do anything better?" Yu Xingye finally got angry, "It's your business that you like men. There are so many men out there for you to choose. Why do you have to pull Wei Xun into the water?"
"I didn't come to reason with you today." Shang Ke crossed his legs and said lightly, "I came to threaten you with great sincerity."
Wei Xingye's voice was cold: "Where did you have the courage to threaten me?"
"The moment I decided to come to you directly, I was fearless." Shang Ke laughed, "You can use any means against me, even kill me. But I want to remind you that the ' The chips' don't lose their value because of my death. On the contrary, half a month after my death, those 'chips' will be spread all over the world. As long as the Internet exists for a day, it will be everywhere."
"I think I'll believe it?" Wei Xingye scoffed.
"You took my number one, have you developed any results?" Shang Ke suddenly changed the subject.
"what?"
Shang Ke laughed, "Do you want to see the real artificial intelligence?"
Wei Xingye was stunned for a moment, but did not speak.
Shang Ke suddenly said to the air, "Number One, send Mr. Wei a picture of the puppy."
"Okay." A childish voice came from Shang Ke's pocket.
Immediately after hearing a ding dong, Wei Xingye's mobile phone beeped an alert tone, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a headshot of a husky.
Wei Xingye: "..."
"Help Mr. Wei beautify it." Shang Ke said again.
The husky on the phone screen was immediately moved to a beauty software, where false eyelashes were painted, a bow was put on, a front tooth was wiped off, black and white, and a photo frame was added, and a candle was lit beside it.
Wei Xingye: "..."
Shang Ke caught a glimpse of it and smiled, "I'm sorry, the aesthetic of the first number is a little different."
Is this "different"? It's a human tragedy, isn't it? !
The first number also said very humbly: "This is the result of hard work."
Shang Ke said reasonably: "If you still have questions, I can continue to show you other functions."
At this moment, Wei Xingye had to admit that he underestimated Shang Ke's ability. The technology he has mastered is far beyond his knowledge. Rather than getting rid of him, control and utilization may be more beneficial to the Wei family. Moreover, he had the materials in his hands that could shake the foundation of the Wei family, so he couldn't bet the whole Wei family and a small person.
But the two men... Wei Xingye still had a hard time accepting it.
"You should know that it is impossible for the Yu family to publicly admit your relationship with Yu Xun." Yu Xingye's attitude softened a bit.
"Don't worry about this, I can guarantee to handle this matter without damaging the reputation of the Wei family."
"What's your guarantee?"
"My life." Shang Ke replied with a smile.
