Strange Gentlemen

Chapter 162: 01 Hiking

Views:

In the vast expanse of white, Qin Minghui looked around blankly.

What is this place

A black dot suddenly appeared in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer. Qin Minghui recognized that it seemed to be a black cat.

The black cat walked in front of her with graceful steps, and suddenly grew bigger. Its pitch-black body gradually became transparent, like a black gauze, with colorful stars flowing and flickering inside.

Looking up and seeing the fur on the black cat's chin, Qin Minghui felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and she crashed into the black cat's body. It seemed like a universe inside, with countless stars spinning quietly around.

She fell straight into a star, the feeling of weightlessness suddenly pulled her heart up, and when she came to her senses, she found that scenes appeared in her mind.

Qin Minghui was like an audience member watching an extremely realistic movie.

The film begins with a strange fortress on the top of a high mountain. The gray bunker is extremely quiet and dilapidated against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the green grass nearby. However, the arrival of a group of people breaks the silence.

Led by a middle-aged man, the team entered the fortress. Inside the seemingly dilapidated fortress, there was a pure white square room where a young girl was sleeping.

—If this "movie" has a protagonist, it would probably be this girl.

When the girl was a few years old, her mother Qin Ledan died of infection. Before she died, Qin Ledan placed her daughter, who was also infected, in this room to sleep, and let her grow up relying on the nutrient solution wrapped around her body. If nothing unexpected happened, the girl would continue to sleep like this until she died.

But the man named Holland, who came with a group of people, woke her up from the room and claimed to be her father.

The girl who woke up was very dependent on her father. She found that she could control the bunker, so she told Holland about it in a daze.

This bunker is a huge robot, the most powerful weapon in the world. It was first manufactured by the girl's grandfather Qin Boyi, and then continuously improved by her mother Qin Ledan. In the end, because of its huge lethality, Qin Ledan regretfully sealed it before her death, leaving it sleeping on this remote and uninhabited mountain to protect her daughter.

Now that the girl has woken up, the robot that was guarding her has also woken up, following her and obeying her commands.

The girl, who looked like a child, had no idea, but Qin Minghui, an outsider watching the movie, saw it clearly.

It was obvious that Holland knew there was a very powerful robot here, so he came here specifically to gain control of the robot. When he found there was no way, he resorted to using his emotions to control the girl, and through her to command the robot to do what he wanted.

This is a chaotic world. Due to several wars, the population is less than one percent of what it used to be. Also, due to the radiation infection from a strange cosmic creature, countless humans have become diseased and turned into "blood-sucking worms" that attack humans - their bodies gradually fester, they lose their minds, and become crazy and bloodthirsty.

Under such circumstances, the ambitious Holland wanted to seize the rights to the largest human safety zone and wanted to unify the four major safety zones, so he used the girl and the robots she controlled to start a war again.

As the story continues, the emotionless and cold robot obeys orders, destroys countless lands, kills many, many people, and all those who have lost their homes because of it regard it as a nightmare.

The ignorant girl only knew to obey her father's orders. She could not see the countless ordinary people who were burned to death in the war. She lived in the fairy tale world created for her by Holland, leading a carefree life. She also fell in love with Holland's adopted son Huo Yin.

Like Holland, Huo Yin looks decent but is actually an ambitious guy. He also covets the big killer, so he uses all kinds of methods to coax the girl into his hands, and then designs to kill Holland. From then on, the girl and her robot are at his disposal, and he continues to kill for his ambition.

Until one day, the girl sneaked out and was attacked by several children. Facing their hateful eyes, the girl realized that the outside world had already been riddled with holes by war, and the robots that followed her orders to help Huolan Huoyin were not stopping the war at all, but starting a war.

She was deceived.

Finally, the "blood-sucking worms" that had been dormant for many years broke out in her body. In pain, the girl ordered the robot to self-destruct and ended her own life together.

After reading it, Qin Minghui just wanted to sigh. A child carrying gold in a busy city is guilty of possessing a treasure.

After all, powerful strength is not scary. What is scary is having this power but not knowing how to control it.

Qin Minghui's eyes went dark, and when she opened them again, she felt like she was wrapped in a ball of liquid. Two bubbles came out of her mouth, and she vaguely heard a loud noise coming from outside.

"Bang—Bang—"

"Mr. Holland, the door is open!"

"Everyone be careful, go in and find the control console."

Qin Minghui's eyelashes trembled, and she realized something was wrong. These words, this sense of sight, were very similar to the beginning of the movie in her mind just now!

She widened her eyes and two bubbles appeared on her eyelashes.

Qin Minghui, who was floating in the nutrient solution in the center of the bunker, looked directly at the face of a handsome middle-aged man outside the nutrient solution life-support device.

—It’s Holland.

Before she could react, Qin Minghui heard a cold mechanical voice in her head.

[Hello, little lady, I am your robot No. 01.]

Qin Minghui: “…” She remembered that in that “video”, the girl also heard the voice of the robot when she just woke up. Then after being coaxed by Holland, she told Holland about it. Holland excitedly tried to let her transfer the command authority of the robot, but regretfully discovered that the only authority of the robot was locked on the girl.

But Qin Minghui was not the girl who knew nothing. She quickly replied in her mind:

[Hello, No. 01.]

[Hello, young lady, No. 01 is at your service. What can I do for you?]

This robot, which can be called the one with the strongest firepower in the whole film, has a very rigid tone and program, but he calls her "Little Miss", which makes Qin Minghui quite interesting.

In the film, the robot calls its original producer Qin Boyi "Mr." and Qin Boyi's daughter Qin Ledan "Miss," so it calls Qin Ledan's daughter "Little Miss."

When watching the "movie", Qin Minghui had a feeling that this robot should be more intelligent, instead of being like a tank or a rocket launch pad - after all, it is the supreme masterpiece of two generations of geniuses.

Qin Minghui, who was soaking in the nutrient solution and had a simple communication with the robot, looked confused and bewildered in Holan's eyes.

He also didn't expect that when he found the place based on the information Qin Ledan occasionally mentioned during the conversation, he didn't see the legendary strongest killing machine, but instead saw a little girl.

Holland knew that this little girl was most likely his daughter. He had tricked Qin Ledan into giving him the giant killing machine she had developed, and even married her.

He thought that after making her pregnant and giving birth to a child, he would be able to completely control her. However, after the woman learned of his plan, she actually ran away with her daughter, leaving behind only some useless research and development materials in a hurry.

Over the years, he has asked people to try countless times but has failed to create such a powerful killing machine. Now that he has finally found this place, let alone a robot, he can't even find a machine control console.

Seeing this ignorant girl at this time, Huo Lan's heart moved. This child was the only one left here. As the daughter of Qin Ledan, this child might know something. Based on his understanding of Qin Ledan, she would definitely leave something to protect this child.

Thinking of this, a kind and gentle smile suddenly appeared on Holland's face. He walked to the side, turned off the life support device directly, let the floating nutrient solution fall from the air, and picked up the girl in the nutrient solution.

"My child, I finally found you." Holland said tenderly, "I am your father."

Qin Minghui: “…” This is embarrassing. I remember clearly how my father looked with his hair loss and baldness. He must have changed his serious and pretentious self and cried bitterly to his brothers and sisters because he heard the news of her death.

Thinking of this, Qin Minghui felt very upset. She knew that she died in the plane crash, and she knew even more clearly that her current state was probably called time travel.

She became the unlucky little girl in the movie. With such a scumbag father, she might as well be an orphan. Compared with him, her biological father is simply a saint on earth.

Qin Minghui didn't say anything, and Huo Lan didn't care. He even spoke more gently, "Good boy, don't you remember anything? It's okay, don't be afraid, Dad is here, and Dad will protect you in the future."

Qin Minghui felt her scalp tingling as his hands touched her head. She had just woken up and her body was already in pain, and now she had to endure such a blow. She pretended to lower her head to avoid Huo Lan's hand, and asked in a stiff voice, "Are you me, Dad?"

"Yes, I am your father, the only relative you have in the world now." Holland said with tears in his eyes.

Ah, it's an actor. Qin Minghui frowned in embarrassment as she compared the scene in her mind where Holland cursed Qin Ledan and her daughter in private.

This, she has no confidence in her acting skills, what should she do, will she be found out? This man is so cruel, if he finds out that there is something wrong with her, will he try to kill her

Qin Minghui thought about it and decided to solve this problem.

She called him "Dad" in a low voice, and pretended to be friendly with the thief. The two of them acted like a loving father and a filial daughter, which stunned the rest of the crowd.

The people who followed Holland here didn't quite understand what was going on, but since their boss recognized his daughter, they could only smile and applaud.

Because of Qin Minghui's accident, Holland decided to let the others search for the robot quietly in the bunker, while he took her outside, found a good place with bright sunshine and lush grass, talked to her and got her secrets.

"My dear daughter, do you remember what happened in the past?"

Qin Minghui shook her head.

Holland's eyes were filled with satisfaction, and his face showed fake pity. "It's okay. Dad will slowly tell you about the past... Do you still remember your mother?"

Qin Minghui nodded.

Holland: "Your mother's name is Qin Ledan, she is my beloved wife. Do you remember that she used to love making robots and she often carried you to the studio?"

After going around in circles like this, Holland confirmed that the child was not very smart and was quite autistic. He was impatient to beat around the bush with her and asked directly, "Have you seen the robot your mother made?"

Holland easily convinced the girl in the movie with just a few words and told him the existence of the robot, but Qin Minghui remained tense until now. From his words, she basically confirmed that this was the movie world, and then she nodded under Holland's expectant gaze.

Holland was ecstatic, trying to maintain a gentle tone: "Then why don't you take Dad to see it?"

Qin Minghui said softly: "The two of us will go."

Holland: "Okay, this is our little secret between father and daughter, don't tell anyone else."

Qin Minghui pointed in a direction, and Huo Lan picked her up and strode forward. He climbed up a nearby cliff and was about to reach the edge of the cliff. Qin Minghui was still pointing forward, so Huo Lan asked, "Here?"

Qin Minghui: "Down there."

Holland had no doubt that such a child would lie. After all, everything in the bunker showed that the child had been in the nutrient solution for more than ten years and was almost going crazy. What did she know

He suspected that Qin Ledan had really hidden the robot on the cliff, so he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked around. Suddenly, a pair of hands behind him pushed him forward.

Holland didn't react at all, and fell off the cliff with an expression of disbelief. He probably won't have a complete body in this life.

Qin Minghui touched her hand, her heart beating wildly.

She killed someone! It was her first time killing someone!

In her life, Qin Minghui had never even had a fight. As a daughter of the Qin family, she was good at both literature and martial arts, but her friend Qin Minghuang was good at martial arts, and she was only responsible for literature.

Quiet, civilized, and well-mannered.

Qin Minghui just felt a little uncomfortable while holding down her shaking hands, when she suddenly saw a pair of hands clinging to the edge of the cliff and heard Holland's gnashing teeth, "You damn..."

Qin Minghui's face changed, and without thinking, he picked up a stone nearby and smashed it hard on the hands.

Holland's screams faded away, echoing in the wind.

Qin Minghui leaned over to take a look, then breathed a sigh of relief. It was really scary just now.
