human nature test

Zhan's eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, said: "I wish I could be angry, but I can't."

(Fives)

After Huo Ping and Lu Zhao came back, neither Yang Zhan nor Xiaowen mentioned the conversation just now, and the four continued on.In front is the seventh district, which is a fishery production base, and the wind is full of strong fishy and salty.Huo Ping didn't like the smell very much. When he passed by here before, he always yelled that he was almost like dried salted fish.

It may be because of the many girls behind this time, Huo Ping really didn't complain much except that he strongly opposed the behavior of the window-opening car.The road went very smoothly, there was no problem with the car, and no trouble appeared out of thin air halfway.

Passing through the seventh district is the eighth district, which is responsible for the processing and production of primary products. The eighth district is an important transportation hub for the rear area. District, and it is precisely because of this reason that although a large number of policemen have gathered in the eighth district, conflicts of all sizes have never stopped.

Yang Zhan’s route overlaps with the Shinkansen for a short period of time. There are moving trains above and newly built roads below. From time to time, people will fall from above. Skeleton, there are bloody wailing for help.

Xiaowen covered her ears and did not dare to look up from the window. Her thin body trembled slightly and made short whining noises like a young animal. Yang Zhan folded his arms and half-closed his eyes to pretend to sleep, but he was actually observing Xiaowen's actions.

"Can't you save him? He's not dead yet." Xiaowen heard a clearer voice, and she suddenly looked up. The boy lying on the side of the road was probably in his teens.He was rolling on his protruding thighs, wearing torn clothes and no shoes.

Lu Zhao didn't mean to slow down. He replied to Xiaowen, "This is not part of the mission. We can't do redundant things."

"He's in pain," Xiaowen said softly, grabbing the hem of her clothes, carefully defending herself like a child who has done something wrong: "We just need a little time, otherwise he will die."

"Are you pitying that child?" Yang Zhan opened his eyes and looked at Xiaowen, and then a series of questions in an affirmative tone: "You are worried that he will die, and you don't want him to die. changes happened."

Xiaowen lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders, like a frightened little rabbit.

"Why are you two so angry with her?" Huo Ping snapped the phone shut, then took out the little butterfly clip he had hidden for a few days from his coat pocket and handed it to Xiaowen: "I'll see you off, okay? No It’s sad, it’s not that we don’t want to save people, it’s just that this is not our mission, and changes beyond the mission are not allowed.”

Huo Ping gave the clip to Xiaowen, and Yang Zhan asked in surprise, "Isn't that what you plan to give to your sister?"

"She doesn't like these cheap things in the back area," Huo Ping heard Yang Zhan's words.His face changed slightly, then he shrugged: "I should have guessed it a long time ago."

Lu Zhao: "Are you quarreling again?"

"Hey," Huo Ping sighed softly, "She's not happy if I go back to the birthday party, and she's also not happy if I don't go. My sister is very strange. I really don't know what kind of temperament she is."

The boy's voice was quickly left behind by the car, Xiaowen tightly clutched the little hairpin Huo Ping gave her and said nothing.Someone needs to keep watch at night, so Yang Zhan opened the car door at two o'clock in the morning to replace Huo Ping, who was smoking outside.

The "rumbling" train passed overhead, and a small bonfire was lit not far from the car. The cold air had begun to seep into people at the end of October. Yang Zha rubbed his hands and sat on the rock. He looked at the dark place not far away In the wilderness, my mind is blank.

A strong sense of strangeness struck again, and the lack of detailed memory made Yang Zhan feel extremely irritable. He lit an electronic cigarette, and the certain calming ingredients in the tobacco relieved his nervousness.Yang Zhancai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the car door being pushed open from the inside.

When Xiaowen opened the car door, she saw Yang Zhan. She smiled at him and said softly, "I can't sleep, can I sit with you for a while?"

When there were only her and Yang Zhan, Xiaowen seemed to be a different person. She was no longer a trembling white rabbit but a sly fox. She was extremely bold and walked over without waiting for Yang Zhan's reply. The white skirt was dyed a layer of golden red.

The half-dried branches were crackling by the bonfire. Yang Zhan watched her sit next to him, then leaned forward and hugged his arm, her soft hair hanging down her shoulders.

"You're going to kill me, aren't you?" Xiao Wen said with a chuckle.

Just like many times before, Yang Zhan didn't answer her question, the two stared at the dancing flames, there was no extra expression on their faces, they were indifferent and numb.Xiaowen sighed, tightened his arms, and almost squeezed his whole body into Yang Zhan's arms: "I'm very cold, please hug me."

"Did I forget something?" Yang Zhan said suddenly, he grabbed Xiao Wen's shoulder and pushed him away.

Xiaowen raised her head, there were two drops of crystal liquid in the corner of her eyes, her fingers slowly brushed across Yang Zhan's cheek: "Will you kill me?"

The end point is death, but for the bionics, it is just a process of forced shutdown and then format restart.She will lose all her memories, and then be brought back to the center to be introduced into another program, with a brand new personality and memory. Death is a privilege that only human beings have. Bionics are not worthy of death, they will only be eliminated.Yang Zhan couldn't answer Xiaowen's question, he frowned tightly, and didn't know how to speak for a long time.

"Memory is like scratches on metal. Although they are constantly being erased, some will remain." Xiaowen embraced Yang Zhan, resting his chin on his shoulder, and said in a very soft voice, "I was wiped out by you." You have been killed many times by other people, different identities, different deaths. I am hurt, cold, sad, if I can I hope I can be angry."

The "rumbling" train passed by, and another person was thrown from above. "Boom" fell into the darkness like a rag doll without even a single moan.Yang Zhan let Xiaowen hold him, the cold shot up from the soles of his feet, causing a layer of cold sweat to form on his back.

"It's getting colder and colder," Yang Zhan said after a long time, "No wonder Lu Zhao always likes to light a bonfire, this place is so cold."

(Seven)

"So, the end of the mission is to kill her?" Huo Ping looked back at Xiaowen who was not far away. He frowned and lowered his voice.

The wind blew from the north with an unpleasant smell, the black chimneys were hidden in the dirty fog, and the smoke as thick as a quilt blocked the sun, even the midday sun could not penetrate.In this kind of place, green grass grows in late autumn. There is a small house on a raised hill. In front of the door is a tall apple tree with small blue fruits that are not in season.

Xiaowen squatted on the ground with his back to them. Yang Zhan glanced at her and said to Huo Ping: "It's not to kill her, it's just that the test is over. If it fails the test, the company means that it will be scrapped and disposed of directly."

"What does it mean to fail the test?" Probably because Xiaowen and his sister are about the same age, Huo Ping took good care of HAVEYS-W along the way, and he seemed a little resistant when he first heard that she was just a bionic fake.

Yang Zhan is the person in charge of the task. He has been carefully recording and reporting every move of HAVEYS-W to the headquarters.As for why she didn't pass the so-called "human nature test", Yang Zhan didn't know, he didn't even know what the passing criteria of this test were, all he was doing was following the instructions of the headquarters.

"Failure means failure." Lu Zhao assembled the long-range sniper rifle. He aimed it at Xiaowen, then put it down, and asked, "Why do you have to bring her under the tree instead of directly here?" Just get rid of it, anyway, HAVEYS-W is already a defective product."

Yang Zhan: "Maybe I want to hear her last words. After all, the body is discarded, and the core chip of HAVEYS-W has to be brought back. I guess Dr. Lai and the others also want to see if they can fix the loophole."

"I'll walk the last part of the journey with her," Huo Ping said, walking towards Xiaowen.

This time the mission was coming to an end, Yang Zhan didn't feel at all relaxed, he felt a strong sense of loss and helplessness when he looked at Xiaowen's back, the sky was so low that he couldn't breathe.He wanted to ask Xiaowen something. If he missed it, he might never have another chance. Yang Zhan turned to Lu Zhao, who was adjusting the gun, and said, "Huo Ping has sympathy for HAVEYS-W. I don't trust him."

At the end, Cheng Xiaowen walked very slowly, stepping on the footprints left by Yang Zhan on the grass, humming an out-of-tune tune, and holding two small white flowers just picked in her hand, carefree like a An ordinary little girl who went out for an outing.

"Do you know why District [-] is called 'Oasis'?" Xiaowen asked.

The No.12 and No.13 districts that follow are completely chaotic and anarchic areas. The eleventh district is the border of the Taya Empire. Wars often occur here because of the land, but it is also here that there are year-round green lands. meadow with undefeated flowers.Yang Zhan looked at Xiaowen, waiting for her answer.

"'Oasis' is a lie, No.11 area is just a huge garbage dump", Xiaowen said with a smile: "These beautiful flowers and plants are used to degrade biological waste, and those recyclable broken copper and iron will be thrown into Huge trench. Do you see that house? It keeps appearing in my dreams, I dream that I'm being dragged into it again and again, and my head is taken off and placed on a shelf full of android heads. Sometimes the scalp is pressed against the ceiling at a high place, and sometimes only the mobile phone can be seen.
