"Let's put this topic aside."

An Wujiu cleared his throat in embarrassment, and turned the topic back to the business, "The last time my reincarnation ended was around 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and it was completely dark at that time, Russell is Chauvin's CEO The collective sacrifice was started, and according to him, as long as the collective sacrifice is over, everything will be over."

"So our top priority is to prevent the start of the collective sacrifice." Yang Erci looked calm, as if nothing embarrassing had happened just now, and no one had confessed. He was extremely calm, "Destroying that system, will it be it's over?"

Zhou Yijue twitched the corners of his mouth indifferently, "I have to kill Russell, but if it is true as you said, Russell is controlled by evil gods. With ordinary humans like us, it is impossible to defeat them .”

He said it realistically, and it did.

"We are not all ordinary humans, Shen Ti is not."

An Wujiu told them about Shen Ti's difference from ordinary people and his awakening, the first step to become a teammate who can fight side by side is to trust each other.

After listening to this, Zhou Yijue felt a little relieved.

"You can't do everything without a plan. If you fight unprepared, you must lose. I hate losing the most. Let's talk, we have a lot of enemies."

They discuss their next plans quickly.

"According to what you said, when Russell appeared, he kidnapped the little girl who participated in the game with us last time, which means that little girl must have played a very important role in their collective sacrifice."

Zhou Yijue rested his chin on one hand, thinking, "Then we have to find a way to get that kid over, and it's best to kill Russell too."

"It's not that simple." Yang Erci said, "Russell is probably just a clone, or a puppet being used."

"That's right. Chauvin also has a system to calculate the pollution level of all human beings. It may be very important. This must be destroyed. If you think about it this way, we have to go to Chauvin to do a big damage."

While they were talking, An Wujiu's head suddenly felt severe pain, he shook his head and tried to continue, but the pain didn't seem to want to go away, instead it caused bursts of tinnitus.

It was like counting down in my mind, and there was an electronic sound of "beep".

Zhong Yirou noticed his frowning, and leaned over to ask him if he was okay.

"It's okay, just a little headache." An Wujiu shook his head slightly.

"Headache? How can it be all right?" Zhong Yirou moved from the back row to the seat next to An Wujiu, and offered to have him checked, "I'll show you."

As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt, took out the tool bag tied around her thigh, spread it out, and found the tools she needed from it.

"Wow, you are a doctor." Todo Sakura exclaimed.

"You can put it this way." Zhong Yirou subconsciously wanted to bite the small flashlight, but Yang Erci took it before it had time.

"Don't put it in your mouth." Yang Erci pressed the end of the lamp, "I'll take the light."

Zhong Yirou was a little embarrassed, just hummed, and continued to check with An Wujiu.

"Our current weapons are not enough." Zhou Yijue clicked on the remaining bullets in his hand, "We have to get some, otherwise we will definitely die miserably if we are besieged by pollutants."

"Yeah." An Wujiu felt a chill behind his ears, as if the place where the chip was placed had been opened.

"Do you still want this chip? Doesn't it mean that the chip may be the carrier?" Zhong Yirou asked.

"Go ahead." An Wujiu said, "I've already entered the altar, I'm a player inside, I can't escape even if I don't have a chip."

Zhong Yirou nodded, only one eye was left, and her head accuracy was much worse than before when she underwent surgery, but she still found that there was something wrong with the installation position of the chip. After asking, she found out that the seller installed it for him.

"It's not fixed." Zhong Yirou complained, and started to reinstall it for him, "Thankfully, nothing went wrong."

An Wujiu's headache still didn't ease, but the pain became more acute when Zhong Yirou adjusted the position of the chip with a thin magnetic stick.

Even Zhou Yijue heard An Wujiu's gasping voice, and cast a glance.

"Are you really a doctor? Why do you feel like his head is going to be pierced by you?"

Zhong Yirou gave him an incomplete roll of eyes, "Although I am beautiful, my ability is also genuine."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and moved closer, temporarily taking out the chip to see what went wrong.

As soon as the place where the chip was placed was vacated, Zhong Yirou realized something was wrong. When she met An Wujiu for the first time, she also treated his injuries. At that time, she found that the structure of his external brain machine was different from theirs. Two millimeters square.

Zhong Yirou changed to a thinner miniature magnetic rod, and tried to get closer to that place, but unexpectedly, this caused An Wujiu to have a bigger reaction.

"Does it hurt so much? I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhong Yirou immediately took it away, put it on with the magnifying glass she carried with her, and carefully observed the structure inside.

"No blame, you seem to have a micro-memory here, which is physically encrypted. The reaction to the magnetic rod is so strong, it must be electromagnetic encryption. You have not been in pain before, it should be because the magnetic field has been stable before."

Matsuura Mori in the driver's seat also said: "Since last night, the magnetic field has become more and more unstable, especially the magnetic field in the air. You didn't respond before, probably because you have been on the ground before."

That makes sense.

If it hadn't encountered such a disordered magnetic field in the end, it is unknown when this memory will see the light of day again.

"It's possible." An Wujiu asked Zhong Yirou, "Then what might be stored in this memory, is there a way to unencrypt it?"

"Storage content..." Zhong Yirou thought for a while, "This is a very rare technology..."

She suddenly recalled her childhood memories, "By the way, my dad seems to have done this kind of work. I remember he said that people at that time wanted to extract people's consciousness..."

Her father's face appeared in front of her eyes, and she foolishly asked why she had to withdraw her consciousness, and her father smiled softly.

[In this way, even if Dad is gone one day, the consciousness is still there, and the memory is still there. Maybe one day I can talk to Rourou through a small screen. ]

"Yes, memory," Zhong Yirou told him, "it may be used to store memories, no fault, isn't your amnesia artificial?"

Yang Erci thought of the bizarre death of Zhong Yirou's father, which was also related to Chauvin, and An Wujiu was a living experiment from Chauvin. Maybe this unfinished technology was used on An Wujiu.

"But," Zhong Yirou looked at the memory, but there was nothing he could do, "This kind of electromagnetically encrypted prosthetic body parts needs a high-power vortex electromagnetic instrument to see if it can be adjusted violently. I don't have any on hand, even if I do, so Strong hedging, your brain will definitely be crippled."

Zhou Yijue narrowed his eyes, "Tsk, it's so dangerous."

"Will it cause brain death?" Fujido Sakura looked at Zhong Yirou and then at An Wujiu, "Why don't you do it for now?"

Hearing Zhong Yirou's words, An Wujiu probably understood the price of forcible termination.

The headache made his thinking a little slow, and the word "memory" appeared repeatedly in his mind.

memory.

memory…

Suddenly, he recalled the electronic sound that appeared when he woke up in the copy of Red and Black.

That voice told him that as long as he lived and came to see him alive, the memory would come back.

According to this statement, this piece of memory may not need him to forcibly unencrypt it. When the time comes, perhaps the contents sealed inside will come out.

If what this person says is true...

All of a sudden, An Wujiu seemed to hear something, intermittent and very familiar.

At first, he thought it was an auditory hallucination, and when he turned his head, he remembered that he had taken a pair of earphones from the car when he changed cars, and they were hanging around his neck at the moment.

An Wujiu put on the earphones, listened to the voice inside, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Isn't that Gabriel's voice

An Wujiu chose to play it outside so that everyone could hear it.

Due to electromagnetic interference, the sound coming from the earphones is always stuttering.

"Can anyone hear my voice... someone... my voice... I spent 800,000 to buy a call from the AI radio station... my sister Silvia was paralyzed in bed... now missing... I am now at the Sacred Heart Clinic in F City … please contact me, my station will always be open… high pay…”

"This is Gabriel?" Yang Erci also recognized his voice, "Didn't you say that he took his sister and fled to the ark?"

An Wujiu frowned, "Maybe it's because I changed my actions at the beginning of this reincarnation, so other people also passively changed."

"The butterfly effect." Zhou Yijue said casually, "It seems that you are not only an observer, but you have the ability to influence the actions of everyone else in the reincarnation."

"Maybe." An Wujiu felt guilty, probably because of himself, Gabriel separated from his sister again, "His sister is still lying on the hospital bed."

He wondered if he could get in touch with Gabriel on the radio, so he adjusted his earphones.

"I'll give it a try." Yang Erci took the earphones, "I used to have this kind of earphones. It was developed by a colleague in another department. It's specially designed to match the self-driving car. I helped him test it."

As she spoke, she turned on the settings in the earphones, clicked a few times, and adjusted the frequency.

"Just now Gabriel seemed to report a string of numbers." Fujido Sakura said.

"En." Yang Erci directly entered the string of long numbers completely, and then began to slowly change the frequency parameters.

Adjustment time exceeds one minute.

Just when everyone thought there would be no results, they suddenly heard Gabriel's voice again.

"I found it." Yang Erci whispered.

An Wujiu tried to talk to the opposite party, "Gabriel? Can you hear me?"

After a few seconds, a stuttering but surprised voice came from the quiet aircraft, "Grass! An... An Wugui?"

An Wujiu raised his eyes and gave Yang Erci a surprised smile, then continued to communicate with Gabriel, "I heard your radio broadcast, listen to me, don't take the ark to that uninhabited island, it will only kill you faster."

"What... my sister is missing... where are you... I'll go find..."

"I'm on my way to Chauvin now, I'll give you an address, we'll have a round there." An Wujiu was talking, when he saw Zhou Yijue gesturing to him, pointing at their guns.

"Oh yes, we may need weapons, with high firepower, can you get them now?"

After a while, a voice came from the opposite side.

"OK... take it... besides a gun, what kind of..."

"More..." An Wujiu thought for a while, closed his eyes, and opened them again.

"Need dynamite."

The call ended with a click. I don't know which end the problem is, but fortunately, they have almost finished communicating with each other.

Matsuura Mori speeded up, "Then let's go find him?"

"En." An Wujiu nodded.

They checked everyone's time, and the one with the least Zhong Yirou prevailed.

"Report to us when there are fifteen minutes left." An Wujiu said, "Let's stop flying and go down to make up for the time."

Zhong Yirou nodded, she thought that An Wujiu was too worried about each of them, and the burden on her shoulders was too heavy.

"Don't worry too much, there is no blame, we have experience, this time there will be good results."

An Wujiu hummed lightly.

hope so.

Under the steady flight of Matsuura Mori, they arrived at the agreed place in less than an hour. It used to be a college playground, but it's dilapidated and empty now.

They parked the aircraft in the middle of the playground, descended one by one, and waited for Gabriel to arrive.

The campus in the early morning looked eerie, with rustling sounds everywhere, and everyone was vigilant and holding weapons.

An Wujiu spoke softly, and told them what he sensed: "Be careful, there are pollutants here."

Sure enough, some pollutants that came from the sound appeared one after another here, and they solved them all. With everyone's help, Zhong Yirou's time increased by another half an hour.

"A little sleepy." Todo Sakura yawned.

"You can sleep, Ms. Todo." Matsuura Mori said, "I'll hold the gun for you."

"No, thank you Matsuura." Fujido Sakura patted her face and pulled herself together, "But it's not time to sleep yet."

At this moment, the noise of the engine running came from the sky, getting closer and closer, and the sound was particularly loud.

Everyone looked towards the sky according to the prestige, and the dazzling lights shone down, and everyone stretched out their hands to block their eyes.

The aircraft that landed was huge, it was like a small plane, and gradually they could see the windows of the cockpit. Inside the glass window, a guy with a pink afro wearing sunglasses was sitting in it, and the other party saw them, put his index and middle fingers together on his temples, and saluted them.

Fujido Sakura was shocked by this posture, and couldn't help sighing: "It's nice to be rich."

Yang Erci felt very speechless.

No matter what time it is, she still cares about pretending to be cool, and it really is someone she can't get along with.

After a long landing, Gabriel finally came out of the cockpit, "It's the first time I bought this big toy, and it's pretty good."

He walked towards An Wujiu, "Why are you in such a mess? You're covered in blood."

An Wujiu looked at him and sighed, "You don't seem to be in a hurry either."

"No, after you contacted me, another person found me. It was my younger brother. He found my sister."

Hearing this sentence, An Wujiu's hanging heart was slightly relieved.

Gabriel pushed the sunglasses to the top of his head, his fluffy curly hair seemed to be bound by a headband, revealing his eyes, "What about you, did you find it?"

An Wujiu shook his head, "Let's not mention this, what did you bring?"

"Almost forgot." Gabriel led them over, and remotely opened the rear hatch of the aircraft. "Are these enough?"

The rear cabin with a considerable space is filled with a large number of guns and bullets, as well as piles of explosives.

"Where did you get so many?" Yang Erci frowned.

"Ah, I forgot to mention." Gabriel smiled confidently, "I actually did a little arms business."

It's true, the money came all by walking a tightrope.

"That's too much." Zhong Yirou had never seen so many explosives in his life.

"I was afraid that you would blow up the mountain, so I brought them all here." Gabriel looked at An Wujiu with a calm face, and bumped his shoulder, "You want so much, what's the plan?"

"Let's talk on the road." An Wujiu said vigorously, "Let's go to Chauvin first, and have a round with Shen Ti and the others."

"Shen Ti," Zhou Yijue repeated the name, deliberately teasing him, "What if he dies?"

There was no emotion on An Wujiu's face, and he went directly into the cabin, "He's not dead, I can feel it."

His feeling is not just talking, from the subtle perception at the beginning, to the understanding of the pollutants, and now, there seems to be an invisible thread in his heart, involving Shen Ti, and he has always been I can feel this thread moving slightly, as if the other end is Shen Ti's breathing.

"That's great, why don't I have these special abilities." Zhou Yijue laughed at himself.

Matsuura asked, "I'd better drive the original one."

"Okay." Gabriel said boldly, "Handsome guy, give me a chance."

They set off from here to Chauvin, and everyone took a short rest on the way to gather energy for the following actions.

An Wujiu also tried to close his eyes.

But at the moment of closing his eyes, the picture in front of him will suddenly return to his childhood.

The last time his memory stopped in the ward, he heard the long sound of the heart rate monitor stopping, which meant death.

But this time, the gears of time seemed to move forward a bit, and as a child, he saw another monster that filled the room with a strange blue light, and it was obviously not Shen Ti.

He even heard his father calling him outside the door.

So before his father committed suicide, did he face the evil god

The self in the picture completely lost his human consciousness, and just before his humanity was completely destroyed, a green light appeared in front of his eyes.

Shimmering scales, green pupils.

Two mutually repelling huge forces impacted, and blue tentacles suddenly appeared behind him, piercing his chest.

The moment he pulled it out, his own blood splashed out, and death was approaching extremely quickly.

A drop of blood ran across those green eyes.

It splashed on his forehead.
