[Xiao Xiang] reverberation

We have obtained information that the enemy is trying to focus their firepower on Area J, but the high-level officials have decided to block the information, making Area J a victim of the full consumption of the enemy's combat power, and at the same time letting the uncontrolled human weapons lie in the ashes of Area J .After that, the front line behind Area J has completed the full deployment of a new generation of human weapons, and it is only waiting for the weakened enemy forces to throw themselves into the trap and draw a halt to this unprecedented dispute (*Note 3).

"I used to think that I could accomplish him and let him get all the glory he longed for." Xiao Shiqin laughed at himself, "But what happened? The alliance won't even let his name be passed down among the world, even Those human weapons developed by relying on his first-generation mutated gene samples cannot be named after him with dignity!"

"But the alliance has never forgotten them." Yu Wenzhou sighed softly, "Whether it's Shaotian or Sun Xiang, there are many, many secret names, and they will be remembered by history."

"Forget it, Yu Wenzhou, it's okay for you to tell others, but you don't need to tell me." Xiao Shiqin looked at him indifferently, with a knife-like sharpness on his tense face, "Huang Shaotian's sacrifice The Alliance did not expect it, but Sun Xiang's death was within their calculations."

Without avoiding his gaze that fell on him like a whip, Yu Wenzhou said slowly and clearly: "You and I both have the status of tactician, so we should be very clear that all sacrifices are the product of calculation, even if there is a sudden It is necessary to make a choice immediately at the moment. It is like..." He paused, got up and took two steps before opening his mouth with his back to him, "It's like the inseparable sword and curse, in the face of difficult When protecting each other's crisis, isn't it the result of calculation and judgment of who lives and who dies?"

Xiao Shiqin was dumbfounded. Looking at the back of the person in front of him, he almost had the illusion that the body was being pierced by a sharp knife, blood was gurgling from the bloody wound, but the owner of the body seemed to have lost the sense of pain. Generally, he continued to stab the sharp blade into the wound.Bright red blood gushes out continuously and turns into pitch-black despair, and above the despair, fresh blood flows continuously, advancing one after another without stopping.

"In the face of death, you and I are equally helpless. Is it important whether we stay with them?" Yu Wenzhou turned around and smiled slightly at him, "The ending does not depend on your and my will. "

After being dazed for a long time, Xiao Shiqin twitched the corner of his mouth several times, but he still couldn't make a sound.He buried his face in his palm, and let the warm tears flow on his palm, "I said I would go back to him, and I promised him."

Yu Wenzhou lowered his eyes and sighed, "The battlefield changes rapidly, and an oath is a frivolous thing."

Xiao Shiqin was speechless, and it took him a while to hold back his sobs and say lightly, "Yu Wenzhou, I'm not as hard-hearted as you."

Yu Wenzhou didn't answer, but he understood that the heart in his chest hadn't always been so cold and hard, it had also been alive and soft before, but unfortunately it was all in the past.There was nothing in this world that could soften his heart.

"But you also know that those who can't let go of their hearts will definitely not let go, and those who can't let go will eventually become obsessions. I have already done nothing to do it once, and there will never be a second time." Xiao Shiqin raised his head, and the corners of his lips curled up. With a morbid smile, "Sun Xiang will not die. I will not allow him to die!"

"You, you are very similar to him." Xiao Shiqin did not know when he stood behind Sun Xiang, and gently placed his hand on the back of his neck and rubbed it repeatedly, especially tenderly, "Even the point of being disobedient is exactly the same."

Sun Xiang turned around in shock, and the work log in his arms fell to the ground, "You..."

Xiao Shiqin smiled, stooped down and picked up a diary casually flipping through it as if nothing had happened, there was no panic on his face that the secret was revealed, "How is it? Have you found the answer you want?"

Sun Xiang nodded and shook his head again, his movements were a little stiff, he looked at Xiao Shiqin with a pale face, his lips trembled so that he could hardly speak, "You...I...w-what?"

"Why?" Xiao Shiqin repeated it amusedly, with infinite bewilderment in his eyes, "Who knows?"

Suddenly, Sun Xiang punched him to the ground, and bullied him, picked up his front, and asked with red eyes, "Why? Why on earth! You told me it wasn't true, you were all joking !talk!"

Blood oozes from the corner of Xiao Shiqin's teeth-broken lips, and flows down his chin.He poked his neck and stared at Sun Xiang for a moment, and finally pushed the back of his head back to the ground as if discouraged, "It's true." He stared blankly at the ceiling, "You're not Sun Xiang, no matter how much you look like, you're not him .”

"Then who am I?" Sun Xiang gritted his teeth.

"You have clearly checked it out, so why ask again?"

"I want you to say it yourself. Say it!"

"You are just an artificial human injected with Sun Xiang's digital genetics, emotions, and memories, the 46th X-122." Xiao Shiqin's eyes drifted to the opened isolation door, revealing a trace of cruelty. Laughing, "There are still many X-122s like you in there, but they haven't been injected with emotion and memory. Do you want to go and see?"

"What did you say?" Even though he had already learned the truth, Sun Xiang still couldn't believe it.

"Let me tell you," Xiao Shiqin looked at him, stretched out his hand to caress his red eye sockets, and there was long warmth in his eyes, "You are so much like him, the one who resembles him the most among all the X-122s. Many times, many times, I have firmly believed that my Sun Xiang is really back, and I can finally end all pain. But no. You don’t like to eat his favorite watermelon, but you like to drink his hated milk; He likes to bathe with soap, but you like shower gel..." With a wry smile, Xiao Shiqin's hand slowly slid down from his face, leaving without a trace of attachment, "Actually, these are just small things, but they are These things remind me time and time again that you are not him after all."

"You bastard!" Sun Xiang, or number X-122 yelled angrily, "You know it! You know that the real Sun Xiang has died long ago, and he will never come back in that bullet-heavy winter in District J. You Why do you still do this! Time and time again, you trapped his memory, love and hatred in these 'bodies' again and again, and 'killed' them to death again and again, how could you bear it! Ah?!"

Xiao Shiqin saw that the tears in his eyes were finally rolling down unbearably, and he smiled weakly, "Why are you crying? Are you sorry for Sun Xiang? Or me? Or yourself?"

"Do you think I want to?" X-122 thumped the ground next to Xiao Shiqin's head viciously, but couldn't stop crying, "Because this 'body' contains Sun Xiang's emotions and memories, even if No matter how hateful you are, he is still, still...can't you think of it?!"

He still loves you.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Shiqin blinked slowly, "I can't help it. I can't let go."

"You..." X-122 felt as if he was stuck in a quagmire, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get out of the despair that was engulfed, "You know it, it's useless! No matter what you do, how many times you repeat it, it's useless ! To die is to die, no more, no more Sun Xiang in this world!"

"No! Even if I can't get it again, Sun Xiang will not disappear." Xiao Shiqin let out a broken sob from his throat, he stretched out his hand to grab the back of X-122's neck, and pressed him to himself with great effort, "You are just a cyborg, what do you know about life and death? Memory is the unique proof that a person is alive. If I catch it, I will never let it go."

No. X-122 sneered, "Then what am I? Isn't it Sun Xiang's memory in my head? But I can never be Sun Xiang. Xiao Shiqin, wake up."

If every life is a long or short ray that travels along time in the vast universe, and each ray passes through tens of millions of time points, then even the same life at different time nodes can vary.Ten years ago, Xiao Shiqin had every unique and vivid Sun Xiang among thousands of seconds.And at a certain moment when he didn't participate in it, he watched helplessly that the light at the starting point of the ray belonging to Sun Xiang faded away.As a result, this life ray no longer exists in the vast universe.Everything that was once attached to it may be submerged in the torrent of time, and if it survives, it is at best an embers that prove that life once existed.

However, Xiao Shiqin was so lucky and so unlucky.

He had been fortunate enough to gaze at the brightest light in the deepest darkness, so he did not hesitate to look for the surviving fire in the withered ashes.

Throughout his life, he will never die.

"That's it..." He stared at X-122 dimly, and the strength in Xiao Shiqin's hand also weakened a little, only his fingertips were still mechanically stroking the back of his neck.

"Yes...uh!" X-122 was about to say something more, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and then all consciousness left his body.The rapidly icy body lost its support and instantly fell to the side. X-122 called Xiao Shiqin with the last remaining energy consciousness, trying to arouse his final change of heart.

"no big deal……"

"Sun Xiang?"

"Stop, hand... let's go."

Xiao Shi
