The more nervous Xiao Mo became, the more relaxed he became, the smile on his face deepened little by little, and he nodded to the two armed policemen who had always been sullen.
"36.3 degrees is normal." The medical staff's answer made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
Xue Lihong felt strange. When he hugged this person's thigh, he could still clearly feel that his body temperature was on the high side. Why did it drop so quickly now
In the end, Xue Lihong also passed the temperature test successfully.
Xiao Mo thought he could finally send these Buddhas away, but who knows...
"Excuse me, can we go into your home and take a look? We just want to check the air value to see if there are any virus residues. We will be over soon."
It seemed that this census was really strict. Xiao Mo was powerless to stop it and could only invite four people into the house.
The man and the medical staff entered the room and began to measure the metal content in the air.
One of the two armed police officers went around every room.
Xiao Mo noticed that the armed policeman who was circling the room also had a small instrument in his hand, and he didn't know what he was checking.
The armed police also made a special circle around them.
Xue Lihong was like an ordinary child. When the armed police passed by, she stood on tiptoe and glanced curiously.
The armed police did not stop him, seeing that he was a child, and smiled at him.
Xue Lihong also showed a shy smile to him.
The armed policeman seemed to want to reach out and touch the child's head, but held back.
The armed police walked away and the enumerator walked into the kitchen. Xiao Mo and Xue Li followed with red eyes, and then they shouted in their hearts at the same time: "This is not good!"
really.
Almost as soon as the man in charge of the inspection entered the kitchen, he turned around and stared at Xiao Mo and asked, "There's a lot of garbage. I can't tell you two of you ate quite a lot."
Xiao Mo smiled and patted the head of the child next to him, "We haven't gone out in the past few days. No, we have accumulated garbage."
"Really?" Regardless of whether what Xiao Mo said was true or not, the man wrote "A large number of food bags, food packaging boxes and other garbage were found" in the remarks column under Xiao Mo's name.
He didn't know why the superiors asked them not only to check each household for hidden patients and illnesses, but also to pay attention to each household's food consumption. But since the above asked him, he naturally had to act in accordance with the request.
The man said "Sorry" to Xiao Mo and began to look through the open and hidden cabinets.
Xiao Mo wanted to ask him if this complied with the regulations, but the man blocked what he wanted to say by saying, "We are checking the source of the virus. Is there anything hidden in your home?"
Three others joined in the rummaging.
Xiao Mo felt that it was not like they were looking for the source of the virus, but rather like they were confirming the food storage situation at his home.
Because if you just check whether there are heavy metal leaks, you only need to look at the air value, and there is no need to rummage through cabinet after cabinet.
Xiao Mo unconsciously held Xue Lihong's little hand.
Xue Lihong stepped on him.
Xiao Mo looked down at the child, realized what he was doing, quickly let go of his hand, and comforted him: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice."
Xue Lihong looked at her little paws that were red from being held, and waved her hand wordlessly.
Xiao Mo quickly grabbed his hand to see the situation, squatted down and blew on it several times.
Xue Lihong thought to herself, where is this person coaxing the child
Xiao Mo said guiltily: "I'm sorry, does it hurt? I'll rub it for you." As he said that, he gently kneaded the child's little hand.
After kneading it, he discovered that the child's hands not only had little flesh, but also had several calluses on the fingers and palms.
If you don't look at the child or the size of the hand, he will definitely think that this is a hand belonging to a blue-collar worker, and it is also the kind of front-line worker who works very hard and often uses various tools.
He also has calluses on his hands, but not as many as a child.
Xiao Mo looked at the child, with a bit of heartache naturally in his eyes.
Which child's hands don't have fleshy, soft and tender hands nowadays? Even the children in the orphanage don't have such hands. If it were his child, he would not be willing to let the child suffer so much.
The child wordlessly stretched out his other hand and pressed the man's head.
"..." Xiao Mo was confused, what does this mean
"Ahem, Mr. Xiao, thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, you can contact the police and civil affairs officers in the quarantine area."
"Oh, have you finished checking?" Xiao Mo stood up and let go of the child's hand.
The child suddenly raised his right hand and looked at it.
The man said the inspection was over.
Xiao Mo looked at the expressions of the four census takers and didn't see anything. He didn't know whether he had passed the test or not.
"Four of you, go slowly." Xiao Mo sent the four of them out the door.
The man was polite and reiterated that Xiao Mo should not go to other people's homes or leave the quarantine area. He also told him not to worry, not to follow what others say, but to trust the government, the country, etc.
Xiao Mo expressed his knowledge one by one.
Xue Lihong stood behind Xiao Mo, staring at her right hand again and again.
After finally seeing off the four Buddhas, Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door and turned around, "What are you looking at?" He felt a little hungry again.
The child put down his palm and said, "Nothing. Shall we go to the supermarket later?"
"Wait a minute." Xiao Mo pressed his forehead, trying to avoid the child, but wherever he went, the child would follow him.
Xiao Mo had no choice but to ask directly: "Hey, are you still there? What kind of recycling system is that?"
The child looked up at him.
"I am a scavenger training system, not a recycling system in the full sense." The voice said very seriously.
Xiao Mo clenched his fist and asked directly, regardless of the fact that the child was still nearby, "What does erasure mean?"
The cold and rigid voice answered him in his mind: "If a scavenger fails to complete two consecutive tasks, according to regulations, it will be wiped out by the system. The system will randomly wait for new scavengers to appear."
Xiao Mo frowned, "Why? Who are you? Can I uninstall it on my own initiative?"
The child stared at him.
The cold and rigid voice in my mind sounded again: "I am the No. 7 training system, responsible for the training of scavengers. The implanted person cannot uninstall it on his own initiative unless he dies."
"Even if I don't need you at all?"
"yes."
"...Then what's the difference between you and a virus?"
"I'm not a virus, I'm a scavenger training system." The voice was still extremely cold and rigid.
"If you can't complete the task, you will wipe out the implanted person's system? You are scarier than the virus!"
“Opportunities and dangers always coexist.”
"Old Xiao?" the child said.
Xiao Mo rubbed the child's head randomly, feeling confused.
Xiao Mo walked to the study room, pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat down, took out a notebook and a pen.
"System, I have a few questions to ask you."
The system said nothing, and the child walked to the desk curiously.
Xiao Mo didn't drive him away. This was not a matter of trust or distrust, but that he was in such a mess that he couldn't even judge whether he was still sane.
"First of all, I need to determine if you are my hallucination or if you are a real person." Xiao Mo tapped his pen on the desk. "Now you have to do something to prove to me that you really exist."
As soon as the voice fell, a map appeared out of thin air in Xiao Mo's mind.
"This is the mission guide map." The system said coldly.
Xiao Mo "looked" at the map and felt it was very familiar. This seemed to be near his home
Now a red and conspicuous punctuation point is moving on the map. Judging from the distance, it is not far from his home.
"This is the calculated route to get to the mission target the fastest."
Following the system explanation, a blue arrow indicator appeared on the map. The arrow with blue lines marked the fastest path from his home to the mission target.
"You can walk while looking at the map, or you can turn on the voice guidance module and let me guide you."
Xiao Mo raised a hand and pressed his forehead, "Besides this map, what else can prove your existence?"
"You can do nothing, wait until the time limit for this mission is reached, and then be wiped out according to the rules."
Xiao Mo had a headache. He found that this system was quite impersonal, as cold as a programmed program... But it was originally a system program.
Xiao Mo told himself to stay calm, "Can you tell me what the meaning of your existence is?"
“Training waste pickers to recycle waste the earth doesn’t need.”
"Were you developed by Earthlings? Which company?" Although Xiao Mo didn't think it was possible to develop an intelligent system directly implanted into the human brain with the current Earth's technology, he still asked with a glimmer of hope. Maybe he can find the developer of this system and ask him to help uninstall it
The system is silent.
"You can't answer this question?"
The system is silent.
The child stared at Xiao Mo, who was talking to himself, with a little gleam in his dead-like dark eyes, as if something had finally aroused his interest.
"Okay, let's change the question." Xiao Mo gritted his teeth, "In addition to my death, what conditions must be met before you will completely leave me?"
This time the system was no longer silent, "Training requirements met."
“What does it take to meet training requirements?”
"Complete all recovery tasks from level one to level ten."
"How many scavengers have you successfully trained before me?"
The system is silent.
Xiao Mo laughed angrily, "So how many people did you kill without completing their mission?"
"Twenty-one."
"... What is the highest level of mission they have completed?"
"second level."
"Would it be quicker for me to commit suicide?"
The system replied: "Yes."
Xiao Mo decided to take a break at halftime, otherwise he was afraid that he would do something stupid like banging his head against the wall.
The child saw that Xiao Mo finally stopped talking strangely to himself, poked the back of his hand and asked: "What happened? A system appeared in your mind? It's interesting, it only exists in your consciousness? Does it have a subject?" ? Let me take a look for you later to see if there are any traces of implantation on your body."
Xiao Mo looked at the child who wanted to dissect him and study him. He didn't know whether this child could be trusted, but at this time he really needed someone to help him analyze and... comfort him. He finally recovered from that pain. After surviving the ordeal, he didn't want to be wiped out at night and die inexplicably.
The child saw that Xiao Mo was still a little hesitant, so he took out the USB flash drive and said, "Maybe the system that suddenly appeared in your mind is the same thing mentioned in this USB flash drive."
Xiao Mo perked up and turned to look at the USB flash drive.
