[Science Fiction] Escape from Paint City

"Who is Xiao Hei?"

Shui Chen asked while pushing open the sliding door of the nearest cubicle.He is now facing Dad Shui, more like talking to a peer.

His enthusiastic opening didn't get a response, Shui Dad pursed his mouth, put down his hands and followed Shui Chen into the cubicle.

"The leader of the maintainers always has a cold face. He is a boring guy. He is awakened as if he has not awakened, but it is good to let him handle the follow-up work."

He shook his head, looking disgusted, and then seemed to remember something, pushed his glasses, and said: "But you made such a big noise before, he should have discovered it."

All three of them walked into the cubicle, and the narrow space suddenly became crowded.Lying on the operating table is a young girl's body, waist-length golden curly hair, good looks, naked/naked, white and soft skin, looks like a sleeping doll, a corpse that has not changed from the ancient tree at all stiff.

Both Shui Chen and Shui Dad looked at it without hesitation, as if the girl in front of them was just a skeleton.Only Sha Qianxing turned his head slightly, his ears turned red again.

Dad Shui's description reminded Shui Chen of the man in black he saw last night and the words he heard, he directly asked, "What's the matter with moving your body back?"

Dad Shui was picking tools at this time, he stopped when he heard this, and complained in his mouth: "What's more, you destroyed a large number of seeds in advance, so that they would appear and die without collecting enough souls , The other seeds that were harmed also have no soul to absorb, so we can only move them back for debugging."

Shuichen directly ignored his complaints, and only extracted the information she needed.

"Then why didn't they take the opportunity to catch us?"

"Ah, who knows, maybe you are lucky?"

Dad Shui was angry for a moment, then regained his composure, and picked out a thin and long metal rod from a pile of tools.

After hearing this, Shuichen narrowed his eyes, and flicked his fingers unconsciously on the side of the operating table.

"Speaking of which, don't you wonder how we got here?"

"Not curious."

Dad Shui uttered three words without raising his head, and began to explore the girl's skin from top to bottom with a metal rod.

Shuichen's words were choked again, and the movements of his hands also stopped.However, Dad Shui is really not interested, or he doesn't want to say it.After thinking about it, his hands flicked again.

At this moment, the metal rod had already touched the girl's head and began to move downward.

"What is this doing?"

"Looking for the best place for them to implant the chip."

When it comes to his field, Dad Shui's words obviously become more frequent.

"Every human body always has a position that can stimulate her emotions and consciousness the most. Touching this position, the human body will react. This reaction is very small, but I can feel it. Implanting the chip in this position, the human body will It is enough to bear, and activate it to the greatest extent, and live like a person with the assistance of the chip."

At this time, the metal rod had already moved to the girl's palm, and Shui Chen stretched out his hand reflexively.He saw the girl's blond hair tremble, and the ends of a few strands were slightly messed up.

"It's like this. The reaction this time is quite obvious. It should be a good seed, and the implanted chip can be shallower."

Dad Shui tapped the girl's palm twice with the metal stick, then turned his head and admired.

"You found out? Not bad, do you want to stay and work with me?"

Shui Chen took a step back with a tense face, the intention of refusing was obvious.Although Water Dad mentioned that the chip is the key to activate the human body, he still feels disgusted by this kind of control.

"Since the chip is an auxiliary, why is the control over people so strong, even trying to invade the body by all means?"

"The chip is just a name. It is not a dead thing. It also has the desire to survive and develop. Since we have used it, we must bear its counterattack and find a way to survive. Didn't you do it?"

Dad Shui has already retracted the metal rod at this time, and is carefully wiping it with a square towel beside him.He said this to Shui Chen, but he glanced at Sha Qianxing from the corner of his eye, and there seemed to be deep meaning in his words.

Sha Qianxing seemed to sense something, and turned his head in Shui's father's direction, but failed to catch this gaze.

Shui Dad tapped Shui Chen's left shoulder blade with the cleaned metal rod, pushed him against his back, and pushed him out of the cubicle, facing the large closed compartment in the middle of the room. .

"Want to go in and take a look? What the hell is a chip?"

After speaking, he approached the outer wall of the large compartment, drew a rectangle rising from the ground, the size of a door frame, and signed his name on the center of the door frame with a metal rod.

Then there was only a bang, and the door frame part split from the middle, slid to both ends and disappeared, and the inside of the door was pitch black.

Dad Shui made an inviting gesture, and then strode into the darkness.

Without thinking, Shui Chen also followed in with Sha Qianxing.

As soon as the two entered the compartment, the light behind them was quickly shortened into a line, and then disappeared.Shuichen turned her head and found that the door had been closed silently.

"Brother Chen?"

With his sight blocked, Sha Qianxing quickly spoke to confirm Shui Chen's safety.

"nothing."

Just as Shuichen finished speaking, the circular cylinder in the center of the compartment began to emit soft white light, illuminating the entire compartment brightly.

Dad Shui stood facing the two of them across the beam of light. He put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, and the metal rod had disappeared.

"Sorry, the larva is afraid of bright light and can only accept the light emitted by this metal guide."

Only now did Shuichen have a chance to see the whole interior of the compartment.The entire small room is in the shape of a semicircle, with a round top, and circles of transparent glass covers are inlaid on the walls from high to low. The diameter is about the length of the palm, like the latitude of the earth.Eighteen more meridians connect the circles to the point at the top, where a small pipe leading upstairs appears.

Each circle of glass cover is cut into countless small chambers, and each small chamber houses a cocoon wrapped in white silk, about the size of three rice grains, and looks light gray.Countless cocoons are displayed in rows, which looks like goose bumps.

Surrounding the central beam of light is a low operating table with 21 drawers in three layers.

The moment he saw the cocoons, Sha Qianxing's face suddenly became ugly. He widened his eyes and clenched his fists, as if he was about to rush up and burn them.

Papa Shui was keenly aware of the change in Sha Qianxing's mood, so he blocked him in time, pressed his shoulder with one hand, and fixed him in place.

"Young man, don't be impulsive."

Water Dad still maintains his unchanging voice, and the sound is even amplified because of the inner construction of the ring.

"They are very good, they will only be activated when they are put into the human body, and they will die when they leave the human body, and will disappear with the generation of personal consciousness and emotions."

Sha Qianxing snorted coldly, his emotions were rarely out of control, and he didn't hide his gaffe at all.

"You know, in Qicheng, as long as she thinks, there will be no accidents and tragedies will never happen again."

Dad Shui approached Sha Qianxing, looking as if he wanted to comfort him, but suddenly said such a nonsensical remark in a low voice, and then retreated to a position two steps away from Sha Qianxing, as if he was on guard He suddenly exploded.

"Qianxing, is there something wrong?"

Shuichen noticed something was wrong with Sha Qianxing, and turned around to ask him.

At this time, Sha Qianxing had complex expressions on his face, with hatred, surprise, bewilderment, and even a hint of fear intertwined together. His whole person looked like a wolfhound defeated by a powerful enemy, his ears drooped, and he was about to curl up. Trembling.

"Thousand lines? Thousand lines!"

Shui Chen's yelling became louder and louder, until the beam of light seemed to dim a bit.

At this moment, Sha Qianxing seemed to break free from drowning, and his back was wet with sweat, sticking to his skin.

"What happened to you?"

Sha Qianxing smiled wryly and shook his head, holding Shuichen's hand and sticking it to his forehead, using the cold touch to regain his composure.

"I just thought of some painful past events, and the irreparable past."

"Is it related to these cocoons?"

"Similarly, it was a devastating disaster, and the consequences were irreversible."

After Sha Qianxing said this, he refused to say any more.He just closed his eyes, pressed Shuichen's hand tightly in silence, and returned to his usual state after a long while.

Shuichen hid the question in his heart, skipped this topic for the time being, and planned to ask in the future at a suitable time.

During this period, Dad Shui stood silently at a distance, neither urging them nor checking the status of the cocoons.

Sha Qianxing glanced at Papa Shui, but he turned a blind eye, as if he hadn't said that sentence to Sha Qianxing before.

"I'm fine, go ahead."

Sha Qianxing smiled at Shuichen reassuringly, his complexion improved a lot, and he stood beside him silently as usual.

Seeing this, Shui Chen stopped being entangled, and turned to ask Dad Shui about the confusion that had arisen just now.

"But the disappearance of my chip is not in the circumstances you just mentioned."

"You are special. It can be regarded as a special customization. Only when your consciousness counterattacks wildly will it self-destruct. I guess, before that, the chip probably set a puzzle for you, but you Have you figured it out?"

During the conversation with Shuichen, Dad Shui no longer stayed in place, but began to move slowly around the glass cover, carefully observing the state of each cocoon.This time, even Shui Chen couldn't tell the difference between them except for their size.

"How did these cocoons come from?"

This is not the first time that Shuichen has seen raw materials being exported from the pipes leading to the ceiling. It is hard for him to imagine how this pure creature can form a high-tech product like the Internet after being implanted into the human body.

"do not know."

Dad Shui said these three words again, paused, and added: "I only care about the process of implanting the chip into the human body and irrigating the soul. I don't need to pay attention to other parts."

"Didn't you want to pick the cocoons?"

"I can feel the different fluctuations of each chip, find the most suitable one for implantation in the human body, and then slowly incubate and cultivate it."

Shui Dad is currently squatting in the small outdoor room on the bottom floor in the southwest, stroking gently with his hand through the glass.

"How they got there, I don't care."

The author has something to say: put a chapter tonight, I can’t stand staying up all night, I can’t bear to write another chapter, I wake up tomorrow morning to catch bugs, I’m so sorry, I’ll continue as long as I don’t go out during the day Write, make up for the progress of the daily update.
