Do androids dream of the sun?

From the moment they met, Xiao Le guessed that Lance might know something about him, but he didn't expect this to be the case. Judging from the photos, they seemed to have a good relationship before.

He closed the pocket watch with a snap, and threw it back to Lance: "I don't know."

"He's an old friend of mine." Lance took the pocket watch and said word by word, "His name is Louis."

Xiao Le suddenly raised his head, his eyes were fixed on him, and his brows were tightly knit.

"Louis resigned from Bots two years ago and has disappeared since then. Some people say that he is still in Noah City, but only incognito. Some people say that he has gone to live on the other side of the earth. Ziyang is his fan. I think he has I told you many versions." Lance suddenly changed the topic, "However, these speculations are all false, Louis, my friend, is dead, died in a fire."

Zhong Ziyang, who was eavesdropping outside the balcony door, trembled with his hands and almost broke the porcelain plate in his hands.He leaned against the wall, biting his lip tightly, not letting himself cry out.

"You can't guess how this fire came about. It was the Farr virus of the Freedom Army. It invaded Louis's AI housekeeper. One fire, one bang--burned his house completely, including Luis in his sleep, when I went to the scene, he was still lying on the bed, his whole body was scorched black. I didn’t expect him to be as smart as him, but he was finally defeated by a little virus, isn’t it funny?”

Lance didn't know whether he was talking about Louis or himself.He smiled softly, with a hint of sarcasm in his expression.

"What you said has nothing to do with me." Xiao Le said with a cold face, raising his legs to leave.

"Don't worry, you have to be patient when listening to the story." Lance raised his hand to block his way, "When Louis was in office, I asked him to help me do a research to develop a bionic person that is completely indistinguishable from human beings. He promised After that, he spent seven years successfully developing a test product, which we call Apollo [-], and according to the agreement, Louis will be fully responsible for its observation period."

"Unfortunately, it disappeared in the fire, along with all the valuable research data. I regret letting it stay with Louis, so that I didn't even get to meet the test subject. I should have put it away earlier. Take it, then I can dissect it in time, save the data, and let my—”

Lance's voice stopped abruptly, as if he realized that he almost said something he shouldn't have said. His lips were white and he panted quickly. He took the water and medicine box from Lily with trembling hands, took out two pills and ate them. , It took a while to control the out-of-control emotions.

Xiao Le looked at him coldly, without saying a word.

"Ziyang is really working hard, but I don't have the patience to wait another seven years. The data left by Louis is too little. Every day is a torment for me, but you appear, Xiao Le, you not only look like him The same, and the same temper."

Lance looked up at Xiao Le, his momentum was not lost at all, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the other person's heart: "Have you ever thought about who created you? There are very few people in the world who have met Louis. Why? Why did you have such a face? Could you be his last move, hiding the data he left behind? Or...you are the missing Apollo-type?"

Xiao Le replied without hesitation: "I haven't thought about it."

"It's okay, Xiao Le. You can go back to the headquarters with me, and I will figure it out slowly."

"I'm not going."

"Then I can only use a little, strong means."

Lance showed a strange smile, and Lily immediately took out a pistol-shaped thing from her pocket, and walked towards Xiao Le.Xiao Le took a step back, his whole body trembling, like a leopard ready to go.

"Wait!" Zhong Ziyang finally couldn't take it anymore, strode into the balcony, rushed to Xiao Le, holding the knife behind his back, "Lance, he is my friend."

Lance gestured to Lily to stop her, and said, "Ziyang, you really learned ten percent of Louis's bad habits. He is just a bionic man."

Zhong Ziyang repeated firmly: "He is mine."

Lance looked helpless, and his tone became tough: "I can send you a better one, Ziyang, I need the data in his brain."

"I only want him!" Zhong Ziyang said loudly, "And it is impossible for him to remember any data, Xiao Le's..."

Xiao Le answered: "My memory is blank."

A flash of surprise flashed across Lance's face, and he said, "I can find the best memory expert for him."

Zhong Ziyang shook his head: "It's useless, Lance, I've been with him for more than a month, and I've checked him countless times. Ning Qi also gave him a simple test just now. We can be sure that Xiao Le's memory is man-made. Permanently deleted, there is no possibility of recovery, even if it was there, it is gone now. If you don't believe it, Ning Qi will give him another detailed inspection later, and the report will be sent to you tonight."

Du Ningqi is one of the most authoritative memory experts in Noah City. With his teacher's testimonial, the possibility of making a wrong judgment is almost zero.Lance gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly, his fingers were trembling, and he forced himself to calm down: "I can still conduct anatomical studies, if he is really Apollo-type..."

"He can't be Apollo [-]." Zhong Ziyang interrupted him, "Xiao Le only did the eighth question of Nelson's test."

A deep disappointment finally appeared on Lance's face.The first generation of bionics developed by Botz can pass five questions in the Nelson test, while some models of the second generation can pass [-] questions. Can't compare.Not to mention Apollo [-], none of the androids designed by Louis has ever been this bad.

There is neither the long-awaited data nor anatomical value. Kongchang has the same face as Louis, which is really a useless fake.Maybe it's just like what Zhong Ziyang said, it's just an old model scientific research bionic man.

Langston immediately felt that Xiao Le was completely boring. Looking at this face again, it would only remind him of Louis' cold temper and daily tormented waiting.He sighed, and smiled politely: "Forget it, since Ziyang likes him so much, I won't take others' love. Lily, let's go back."

Zhong Ziyang watched the backs of Lance and Lily disappear among the guests, he finally heaved a long sigh of relief, turned around and lay on Xiao Le's shoulder, and said repeatedly: "I was really scared to death, luckily I'm fine..."

"I won't be taken away by him." Xiao Le paused, "You just said that my memory cannot be recovered, is that true?"

Zhong Ziyang blinked, and whispered in his ear: "Of course I lied to him! Otherwise, how could I make him give up?"

Xiao Le: "...Oh."

Zhong Ziyang suddenly approached Xiao Le's face and looked at him carefully: "You really look the same as Louis?"

Xiao Le replied indifferently: "I don't know."

"Okay, then I guess Lance is bluffing again."

Zhong Ziyang shrugged his shoulders, stepped back a little, only to realize that he had grasped Xiao Le's hand at some point, and his palm was covered with cold sweat.He hurriedly let go, glanced into the banquet hall as if nothing had happened, then turned to Xiao Le and said, "Why don't we sneak out early? We won't bump into him again later, and I don't know what the accident that Sister Man said was wrong. It's still calm, we can..."

Xiao Le suddenly said: "Yangyang."

Zhong Ziyang: "Huh? What's the matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a scream behind him that almost pierced through the roof.Zhong Ziyang hurriedly turned his head, the banquet hall was full of commotion, all the famous wines on the wine table were swept to the ground, the red wine and champagne were mixed together on the carpet, the flames danced wildly around the table, spreading at the fastest speed, and gathered on the dance floor Before the people in the room reacted, the tongue of flames had already licked the nearest curtains and skirts, and it was getting more and more intense.The banquet hall was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye, but its fire fighting system was strangely disabled.

Zhong Ziyang was stunned: "My God..."

Xiao Le looked into the house, and the bright and jumping fire light reflected in his eyes, which gradually overlapped with certain blurred scenes, filling his blank mind.Knowing that it was not time to think about it, Xiao Le gritted his teeth and endured a needle-like headache, took off his suit and covered Zhong Ziyang, covered himself and his mouth and nose, and rushed towards the gate with the young man in his arms.

The banquet hall was very chaotic, Lance had no idea where he was, and several police officers stood around ordering the order. Unfortunately, a group of gentlemen and ladies who had never encountered such a situation did not listen to them at all, and they were like headless chickens. They scrambled towards the gate, wanting to fight for a chance to escape as soon as possible, causing traffic jams and curses everywhere.

Relying on his height and physique, Xiao Le forced his way out of the banquet hall with Zhong Ziyang.Before they ran into the safe passage, they heard a bang behind them—the belated firefighting system finally worked.

The two stumbled and ran down a dozen floors.Zhong Ziyang noticed Xiao Le's strangeness in the middle of the journey, one of his hands was hanging down weakly, and later it seemed to be hanging on Zhong Ziyang's body.Zhong Ziyang couldn't bear it any longer, so he had to stop at the corner and carefully put Xiao Le down.Xiao Le closed his eyes, his brows were tightly frowned, and his expression was a little painful.

Zhong Ziyang patted his shoulder anxiously: "Xiao Le! What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Le half opened his eyes, his gaze fell on Zhong Ziyang's face, and suddenly he stretched out his hands, hugging him tightly into his arms.His strength was surprisingly great, as if he wanted to rub Zhong Ziyang into his body.

"Xiao Le?!"

Zhong Ziyang was hurt by Xiao Le's arms. He moved his body and raised his head in a daze, but Xiao Le suddenly leaned forward and kissed his lips. There was a sense of urgency and anxiety in his movements. .

Zhong Ziyang's eyes widened in surprise, he forgot to struggle for a moment, and let Xiao Le's tongue scramble between his lips, the tingling sensation rushed to his limbs amid the entanglement of his lips and tongue.

It's a solid kiss with a reassuring and uplifting sweetness.

Xiao Le stopped, leaning on Zhong Ziyang's shoulder, panting slightly, and repeated Zhong Ziyang's name in a low voice: "Yangyang...Yangyang..."

His tone was not the same as usual, but in Zhong Ziyang's ears, there was an inexplicable long-lost familiarity.

He patted Xiao Le on the back: "I am here."

Xiao Le paused for a moment, seeming to wake up for a moment: "Yangyang, inform... He Man."

"Huh? Oh, oh good."

Zhong Ziyang clicked on the bracelet as he said, and sent a message to He Man's account.Not long after, He Man, who was wearing a police uniform and messy hair, pushed open the fire door beside them and ran in. Without saying a word, he helped Zhong Ziyang set up Xiao Le, and walked downstairs

It wasn't until he boarded Zhong Ziyang's spaceship that He Man asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Le?"

Zhong Ziyang was also very anxious: "I don't know, he suddenly became like this..."

"Then you take him home to rest?"

"No, I have to take him to check, I may not be able to handle this situation."

"Okay, I won't go with you guys, I have to go back to deal with the higher authorities." He Man pointed upwards, and said helplessly, "I'm really convinced, I'm sure I'm not going to guard against this trick."

"What happened to that fire?"

"I don't know yet, maybe it's the Freedom Army. They want to do big things every once in a while. They didn't come to Area A before, but they succeeded this time, tsk!" He Man sighed, "Stop talking, how many of you careful."

Zhong Ziyang nodded: "Okay, thank you Sister Man."

He Man waved his hand and ran back into the building.

Zhong Ziyang boarded the spaceship, Xiao Le was already lying on the seat and passed out.He straightened Xiao Le's forehead and said, "Niya, help me contact Ning Qi."
