Chapter 248: you can be a substitute

With the angry shout of Lao Zheng, the police rushed in, the androids fought against the elites of the military and police, and a big melee between dark technology and ordinary humans broke out in the core bunker of Mandela .

In an instant, the sound of shouting, gunshots, and the collision of metal and metal intertwined.

The scene was too chaotic, so Duan Cuizhen said sharply: "He Yu, come back! Your mission is to protect my safety now!"

He Yu did not hesitate for a moment, broke through the siege, and ran in the direction of Duan Cuizhen, but halfway, a person stood in front of him.

In the shadow of gunpowder smoke and blood, Xie Qingcheng was actually standing in front of him!

He Yu narrowed his eyes, for some reason he didn't immediately start: "Get out of the way."

"The Vivian standing over there is not your mother." Xie Qing said, "He Yu, wake up."

"Of course I know that is not my mother, but as long as Duan Cuizhen is alive, my mother will be able to live in the Mandela universe sooner or later!" He Yu said sharply, "You give I'll get out of the way!"

Reflection, you used to know this very clearly in your heart. Think about your past, your life is filled with joys, sorrows and joys, and people with flesh and blood, it cannot be determined by any set of data. Substitution - you are unique, and so is your mother!"

He Yu's eyes were slightly confused, Xie Qingcheng's words seemed to have another impact on the concept system that Mandela forcibly implanted in his brain.

There are sporadic events in his mind...

When He Jiwei was a child, he took himself to go fishing. It was one of the few times when the father and son got along. Although it was only one afternoon, he still remembers it to this day.

Xie Qingcheng stood by the chair, put on a mask, and looked at He Yu's eyes with a pair of peach blossom eyes, he asked He Yu to stretch out his hand, and a white and soft gauze was placed on He Yu's bleeding wrist Wrapped up one after another.

"If everyone you meet becomes the extracted data, it can be recreated, if everyone becomes a life that can be uploaded and downloaded at will, edited and extended infinitely Data... The boundaries between reality and virtual are no longer clear. You'll be anaesthetized day in and day out in a world you expect to see, where you think you have everything you've lost, but the truth is If it is lost, it cannot be returned! The so-called Mandela Metaverse is just using human emotions to deceive you to forget those who really exist, and sleep in a vivid dream forever.”

He Yu: "…"

"Reality cannot be replaced." Xie Qingcheng told him that because he had not yet started with He Yu at this moment, he knew that He Yu could listen to some of his words , He Yu's mind seemed to be driven into Mandela's steel pillar, and he was imprisoned and unable to move, but He Yu's heart was suppressed under this steel pillar.

He knew that He Yu was awake under that abyss.

There are people fighting all around, everyone has their own opponents, and Xie Qingcheng is facing He Yu.

He Yu's eyes were slightly dazed.

Feeling hesitant, Xie Qingcheng trembled: "Wake up... He Yu, I know that there are many regrets in this reality, and many times it will make people feel extremely painful. You have lost your mother, lost your family... You have lost a lot of things, but it is because of this loss that people will continue to grow, learn to cherish, and understand the meaning of life to themselves. The kind that Duan Cuizhen described to you A world where anyone and anything can be replaced will make you gradually indulge and paralyze you into the illusion, and eventually forget the most real ones. Do you understand?"

“…”

"Don't listen to him!" Duan Cuizhen was hiding in the distance and didn't dare to get too close, but seeing that the situation was critical, she shouted at He Yu, "Don't listen to what he said. These! What is irreplaceable? The so-called 'love' in this world is nothing but human beings looking for self-identity. You seek so-called family, friendship and love only to make yourself feel happy - people are all for themselves. Live! The Mandela Metaverse can let you get everything you want and restore everything you lost, you are the master of your own destiny, what's wrong?!"

He Yu couldn't help but raised his hand and touched his eyebrows.

He felt pain in his head, and his flesh and blood hurt like being torn.

"He Yu! Have you forgotten why you fell in love with Xie Qingcheng? You are just looking for something to fill the void in your heart, don't you?" Duan Cuizhen Seeing that he was still hesitating, in desperation, his mind moved, and he screamed, "Anyone can, as long as they are nice to you! Have you forgotten? It wasn't Xie Qingcheng that you liked at first, he It's the person you noticed after begging Xie Xue but not getting it!"

Xie Qingcheng: "!"

Xie Xue? !

Despite this situation, Xie Qingcheng was still shocked.

He Yu once...liked Xie Xue?

It's like a dam was suddenly washed away, and then the past rushed down like a flood—

Neverland, He Yu mistakenly thought that he was Xie Xue under the fox doll, so he said those words.

In the Hangzhou Hotel, He Yu said that he had lost his love, looked into his eyes, and finally kissed by mistake.

The girl from the same school that He Yu once liked that he had never inquired about...

Xie Qingcheng suddenly realized the origin of all this!

He froze in place.

Taking this opportunity, Duan Cuizhen shouted loudly: "He Yu, come here!"

“…”

He Yu frowned.

"Come here! He lied to you! He left you! You don't need him at all!" The woman's voice was sharp like a rig, stabbing He Yu's heart!

She cried hysterically: "No one pays attention to you at all! You will only be deceived again and again! Wake you up! Think about what he used to do to you! Have you forgotten? ?! You are just treating him as Xie Xue's replacement, but you have suffered a lot from him! Think about it!"

He Yu's eyes became more and more confused, he covered his head, and as Duan Cuizhen screamed, scenes of Xie Qingcheng's indifference flashed before him—

"What does your illness have to do with me."

"If you're dead, let me know in your dream. If I'm in a good mood, I may go to your grave and give you a stick of incense. Beast."

"Go away!"

Roll…

Go!

The back of Xie Qingcheng is in front of him, dragging the head of the suitcase and walking away without looking back...

This scene is like sharp fragments passing through!

He Yu was trembling all over, as if countless invisible wounds were opening on his body, arrows piercing his heart...

He murmured: "Yes...there is a hole in my heart...there is a hole in my heart...you are all lying to me...you don't want me...all fake, candles are fake, friends It's fake, family members are fake... none of them are real!"

"So I...so I...so I've been looking for something to replace these warm..."

He raised his head suddenly, his pupils were blood red, and the light in his eyes trembled.

"There is nothing that can't be replaced...you are...you are just a substitute! You are always just a substitute! It's me who used too much sincerity on a substitute , I ended up hurting myself like this! I'm stupid!!"

He suddenly cast his eyes on Duan Cuizhen, those eyes were almost completely empty.

"You're right...you're right...nothing can't be replaced...the feelings in this world are ultimately just human beings to satisfy themselves! Nothing can't be replaced!"

He shouted violently, the blood in his eyes was even more bloody, the bullets were exhausted, he took out the bayonet, held it in his palm, and charged straight towards Xie Qingcheng!

"Be careful!"

A recent armed police soldier just killed a reformer. When he turned his head and saw the situation here, he immediately rushed to support him, and he immediately fought with He Yu in a daze.

At the same time, Zheng Jingfeng also ended the battle with a bunch of hyenas, and the leopard stared and shouted and approached Duan Cuizhen—this is the opportunity—!

She's running out of protection!

"Ahhh!" Duan Cuizhen screamed hysterically when she saw Zheng Jingfeng attacking, hurriedly dodging one of Zheng Jingfeng's attacks, she ran wildly and ran towards the main console.

Zheng Jingfeng immediately caught up, but Duan Cuizhen was the old detective's opponent, and she was about to stab her in the forehead with the second blow!

Suddenly—

Somehow, Duan Cuizhen fell down beside the pillar on the main console.

Zheng Jingfeng was startled. Before he stabbed her in the head, she fell to the ground like a beautiful snake shedding its skin, her gorgeous red dress spread out behind her, her eyes were wide open, without focus, she stared blankly at the ground. Cave ceiling.

Zheng Jingfeng thought she was pretending for a moment, and then thought she was hit by someone else's stray bullet.

However, before these thoughts could take root, he suddenly felt that the back of his neck stood up, and a sixth sense of professional instinct accumulated over the years made him lie on the ground all of a sudden! Sure enough, just as he was lying down, he heard a loud explosion. A three-meter-high glass container in front of him was hit by a bullet, and the drug reactor rushed out from behind the cracked glass, together with The corpse soaked in it all slipped out and rushed on top of him.

He was utterly disgusting. Get up from the ground immediately.

But he didn't care about this, he turned his head to look, when he saw who shot him this cold shot, his pupils shrank suddenly!

The man who shot him was—

Duan Wen? !

Hasn’t he, he been controlled by Xie Qingcheng?

"Old Zheng! He's not Duan Wen... I can feel it! He's not Duan Wen! It's Duan Cuizhen! She can penetrate Duan Wen's brain through that machine!!"

The battle is fierce here, Xie Qingcheng came over after hearing the sound, and reminded Zheng Jingfeng with a big drink.

Zheng Jingfeng was shocked, and subconsciously looked back at Vivian's body lying on the ground.

When was she…

He didn't think about it before he saw a purple button-shaped instrument in her palm!

It turned out that Duan Cuizhen's brainwaves kept an eye on Vivian when she moved from the little boy to Vivienne. She knew that this was a temporary move and could not support it for a long time. One way back, she quietly held the spare simple remote control fixed on the console in her palm during the melee.

Before the operation, Duan Wen once performed a brain joint experiment with her because of the need for multiple tests, so at this moment, Duan Wen still has the corresponding radiograph attached to the side of his neck and has not taken it off. Lose. As long as the two of them are still near this large console and are affected by the radiated radio waves from the console, there is a chance to achieve this through this simple converter.

She succeeded.

Duan Cuizhen's willpower is very ordinary, and at this time, the beast is forced into a desperate situation, the power of personal thinking is completely stimulated, and it becomes extremely domineering and ferocious, so it invades other people's brains. The time was longer and smoother than before.

"Old Zheng! Hurry up!" Xie Qingcheng tried his best to suppress Duan Cuizhen with blood poison, but obviously, he could no longer hold back this lunatic...

The battle situation is getting more and more chaotic, Zheng Jingfeng can't shoot under the circumstances that it is very easy to accidentally get hurt, he can only pick up the military dagger and pounce on it, this time the target is Duan Wen's brain.

Clang!

At the last moment, Duan Cuizhen completely broke free from the blood poison, grabbed a piece of broken alloy steel pipe from the side, crossed it, and blocked Zheng Jingfeng's attack!

Alloy steel pipes and military daggers create dazzling metal sparks.

The sharp light of the knife reflected in the eyes of the two men.

Duan Wen stared at Zheng Jingfeng from behind the steel pipe, and suddenly showed a sneer that belonged to Duan Cuizhen at the other side—the two fought hard and fought in melee!

When it comes to close combat, Zheng Jingfeng was the No. 1 in the police academy back then. Although he is old now and his strength is no longer what he used to be, he is better than experienced, and it is expected that Duan Cuizhen will be superimposed Duan Wen will not be his opponent.

But when more than ten moves were removed, Zheng Jingfeng became more and more frightened, because he found that no matter what move he made, Duan Wen seemed to know in advance.

"Who are you..." Zheng Jingfeng asked, "Who are you?!"

Duan Cuizhen just smiled and didn't answer.

Xie Qingcheng groaned in his heart, remembering that he hadn't let the cook who passed the message inform Zheng Jingfeng in advance, and immediately shouted: "Old Zheng! Don't use the martial arts you taught your disciples before! He is Chen Lisheng!"

Zheng Jingfeng: "!!"

"Duan Wen is Chen Lisheng!" Xie Qingcheng shouted in the melee, "Duan Cuizhen occupies his brain, she can share his memory!"

Zheng Jingfeng was struck by lightning, at this moment, he seemed to understand everything...

Duan Wen is Chen Lisheng…

He is Xie Ping's apprentice.

His old classmate Xie Ping, for so many years, imparted all his experience to this young man without reservation, taught him so earnestly, and instructed him so responsibly.

Because Xie Ping's own fighting ability is not the best, in order to let Chen Lisheng out of the blue and better than the blue, he once stuffed Zheng Jingfeng with a packet of soft China, and privately asked Zheng Jingfeng to take him with him.

Zheng Jingfeng still remembers the way he and Xie Ping teased that afternoon.

“Your own apprentice wants me to take him?”

"You fight better than others, take the cigarettes away, and teach them well."

"Why, he doesn't call me Master."

"Old Zheng...why are you still here with me, yours and mine, hurry up and take the cigarettes away, or I'll send them to the director!"

"Stop! Bring it here! Really, how you teach an apprentice is like teaching a son..."

Zheng Jingfeng's eyes filled with tears instantly.

He let out a roar that could be heard in almost the entire crypt: "Chen Lisheng! How can you? Ah?! How can you!!"

At that time, he was entrusted by an old friend, and he taught Chen Lisheng all the money. It is no wonder that many grabbing moves were obviously created by him, but Duan Wen was able to respond immediately!

Zheng Jingfeng was heartbroken and madly punched the person in front of him, even though he knew that Duan Wen's consciousness was suppressed by Duan Cuizhen at this moment, Duan Wen himself might not hear it , but he still recklessly shouted at this beast and tore.

"Chen Lisheng, I'm a friend of your master, he asked me to take you well, from today onwards, you have to follow me to study hard, I'm not a small stove for everyone, understand? "

In the sunny day, Zheng Jingfeng patted Chen Lisheng on the shoulder and gave him a wicked smile.

Chen Lisheng: "Thank you Zheng team, I understand."

Beside the flower bed, Xie Ping was holding a cup of hot tea and watching with a smile.

Tears filled Lao Zheng's gully face, he never thought...it was him!

It was him!

"Left uppercut, yes, then kick out from the right, and kick it in a roundabout way. The speed must be fast, otherwise others will react. Come on, do it again."

The voice of that year seemed to be in my ears, laughing at him, echoing like a nightmare.

Zheng Jingfeng's eyes were red, he attacked with punch after punch, he did not allow anyone to take away his opponent - he had to kill him himself -

Left uppercut, right kick…

He saw Duan Wen react - Duan Wen had raised his defensive arm in the roundhouse kick...

Zheng Jingfeng's brown eyes sank, and the faces of Xie Ping and Zhou Muying flashed back in front of him. He saw the starry sky of the Golden Triangle more than 40 years ago, and he heard the three young people's loud voices under the starry sky. laugh…

Zheng Jingfeng didn't kick the roundabout, he slammed his body straight over and hit Duan Wen's arm that was ready to attack. It was very painful, very painful.

The sternum seems to be broken.

But at the same time, he also saw the panic flashing in Duan Cuizhen's eyes!

It was an unexpected action...

Zheng Jingfeng did not give the opponent a chance to counterattack, only the cold light of the military dagger flashed, and it was about to pierce Duan Wen's heart!

Pop-

It's Li Yun!

At this critical juncture, Li Yun's reformer came out of the siege and flew over to take Zheng Jingfeng's dagger!

The next second, the grip of the dagger lost control, and it stabbed straight into Li Yun's chest...

It was too late to withdraw.

The dagger pierced, and the dagger disappeared instantly! !

That's…

That's the same reaction as Xie Qingcheng's parents... Because these advanced reformers do retain part of the thinking of living people, they may make actions that they did before living people.

Li Yun instinctively protects his classmates and friends.

The person he thought was just Chen Lisheng.

At almost the same time, due to the collision and struggle of several people, Li Yun broke a tall reactor behind him. There was an explosive warning sign on the reactor. One was broken, and it was swaying, and it looked like it was about to fall.

Old Zheng, stay away, it's going to explode!"

Zheng Jingfeng had hot sweat on his face, looked up, and immediately returned to his senses, rolled up, and ran in the opposite direction.

"Duan Wen", who was tightly guarded by Li Yun, was actually Duan Cuizhen's consciousness, she also realized this, and began to scream to get out of Li Yun's arm Earn it. But Li Yun's wish to protect her comrades in person at the last moment was so strong that she couldn't break free. Seeing that the reaction device tilted down and was about to fall down, Duan Cuizhen screamed.

"Let me go! Let me go! Let go—" The voice stopped abruptly.

The next second, Duan Wen's eyes suddenly trembled, and there was a light of his own in his pupils.

"Bang!!"

Like more than 20 years ago, Li Yun said, "Be careful!" Just like this, she stood in front of Duan Wen, facing Chen Lisheng, and her back to the falling heavy object.

A loud bang.

The tower of the device smashed down. In the process, it hit the iron pillar next to it, the glass shattered, and then the flames rolled up!

The explosion really happened…
