Salvation and redemption

This is a huge green balcony like a garden. It is located on the top floor of a castle-like villa. The balcony is transparent in all directions and surrounds two rectangular interlocking rooms in the center. If you go around the balcony, you can overlook the entire Mindanao Island. The trees on the balcony are as luxuriant as those in the island, surrounded by beautiful flowers of various colors, such as lobelia fluttering in the wind like butterflies flying among the trees, and the overnight rain makes the pink arrowroot more crystal clear, There are also magnolias with beautiful petals stretching among the bright green leaves. The rainbow banana is as colorful and eye-catching as a rainbow... But no matter whether it is flowers, grasses, or trees, they are all distributed in a patchwork order. In contrast to each other, it is obvious that someone has carefully trimmed and cared for it every day. A flat path was built from the front and back doors of the room. They meandered and shuttled across the entire balcony, and finally connected together, appearing to extend in all directions and have a uniform width. , can reach any corner of the balcony.

The long night passed, and the morning light dewed, gradually penetrating the clouds and sprinkled scattered light. The morning dew was like a little elf, and under the baptism of the light, they poked out their round transparent heads. They seemed to be talking silently. Playing, and it seems to be waiting for the sun to come. At about such a quiet moment, an old man slowly moved out from the end of the room in the middle of the balcony in a wheelchair. His wheelchair does not need to be cranked by hand, but directly It is controlled by the remote control, so there will be a mechanical sound and a very low-noise motor sound. At this moment, the old man goes deep into it along the winding path.

Lloyd is also in the garden at the moment, and his figure is just half covered by lush trees, but this does not prevent him from scanning the old man and his wheelchair with his eyes in order to determine the opponent's attack power. Although he is in safe mode, but After all, it is a mechanical body. As long as the functional parts are not damaged, they can still play their own functions, but all the installed programs cannot be started at all. This is because they are all banned due to viruses. In other words, the current He can't do high-intensity battles like robots, but compared to humans, he is by no means inferior.

However, the results of the scan surprised him, mainly because of the old man's wheelchair, because this wheelchair was not produced by the technological power of this century, but came from 50 years later, almost at the same time as the first model of ARXI. Just by scanning, Lloyd can't tell whether this wheelchair is equipped with an OS system, but obviously, this makes Lloyd vigilant, which is linked to the emergence of a bright yellow liquid virus. As far as he knows, the Ministry of Public Security, a high-level organization of the Japanese government There was a connection with the future 100 years later, but all the connections should have been broken in the final battle between him and LastQueen, the channel was closed at that time, and the memory of all related characters disappeared, except for this event Except for Mo Dao Lishi and Antang Mayang who are directly related, so the existence of him and Xiaoyaowan should be unknown, but Xiaoyaowan and him are both infected by the virus, so it can be further judged that these special items are all It was left before the channel was closed, but it is unknown who used what method, or it was obtained through a special channel.

However, after all, the passage has existed before, so there are quite a few possibilities, and all the keys are probably in the old man in front of him.

The old man’s age does not seem to be more than 65 years old, but he is almost completely paralyzed in a wheelchair. The muscles of his legs have been severely atrophied. This can be seen without scanning, and his only moving parts seem to be his fingers. , eyes and mouth, but the range of finger movement is also limited, just like now, the remote control for controlling the wheelchair is pinched in his right hand, and fixed vertically on the right armrest with a bracket. Obviously, only in this way can he realize the possibility of manipulation .

Lloyd stood still and studied the structure of the wheelchair. At this moment, he didn't want to take any risks, because he was quite aware of the terrible disaster that would follow Shi Tao's special physique, and time would become the most tormenting and painful abyss. , he himself has spent 100 long years at the bottom of the sea, but he does not feel pain, but Shi Tao does not.

At this moment, another person came out of the room, the person who deceived himself with the face exactly like Shi Tao, although he also called himself "Shi Tao", since Lloyd already knew the existence of this person , can successfully distinguish between the two, although their appearance seems to be the same, but in the future when cloning technology has long been popularized, it is really a piece of cake to distinguish who is the main body and who is the clone, not to mention Shi Tao's temperament. He couldn't even imitate it, and the responsibilities he shouldered due to his own abilities were beyond the comprehension of a mere clone. The blame was that he was too careless at the beginning, which caused Shi Tao to be implicated.

He clearly came here to protect Shi Tao, but in the end he became a hindrance to Shi Tao. This is something he could never forgive himself for.

"Father." He heard "Shi Tao" walk up to the old man, call softly, and then said, "It's time for an injection."

The old man gave a "hmm", and "Shi Tao" pressed the intercom in his hand and said, "You can come in."

Not long after, a man in a white coat who looked like a doctor pushed medical equipment into the balcony through the same door, and came to the old man and "Shi Tao".

The doctor sterilized the old man, and quickly injected the transparent medicine in the needle tube into the old man's body. Lloyd caught a glimpse of an electronic pass pinned to the doctor's waist, and then he quietly entered the room from the other end along the path extending in all directions. After a long while, the doctor walked in pushing the medical equipment. Lloyd had already been standing by the wall. As soon as the doctor walked in, he immediately stretched out his finger to paralyze the doctor's vocal cord nerve. The doctor's eyes widened instantly, and Lloyd next In seconds, he knocked the doctor unconscious with little effort, took off his white coat, took his pass, and stuffed him under the bed.

In order to avoid being recognized immediately, Lloyd took off his glasses, tied up his hair, and pushed the medical equipment to the elevator entrance as if nothing had happened.

The elevator is located at the entrance of the room, and four cameras are installed in the corners. Lloyd has used the functions of perspective and scanning to study the structure of the entire villa as early as on the balcony. There is no shortage of cameras. No matter what angle you look at, everything except the balcony and the room where the old man stays is under surveillance. Fortunately, there is a loophole in the balcony. Otherwise, given the fact that Lloyd cannot hide at the moment, it would be very difficult to find. breakthrough.

But so far, he has not searched for Shi Tao's location, which makes him feel a little worried. At this moment, he is wearing a white coat, completely exposing himself under the camera, although he can perfectly calculate the angle, so that the camera can The reading angle is limited, but after a long time, there is still a risk of being discovered.

Lloyd took the elevator and used the pass in his hand to successfully activate the floor he was going to. He chose floor one. Since there was no trace of Shi Tao on the third floor or the second floor, he had to look down.

The elevator door opened, and there was a long corridor out of the elevator room. Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor. Lloyd quickly scanned the entire floor, and immediately saw a staircase leading to the basement. After entering the entrance, Lloyd felt a kind of fear that he had never experienced before. He had clearly experienced war and death, life and death, and even a long wait. Even the moment when he predicted that he would lose his memory and restart. He was not a human being, but a robot, but this was the first time he had felt such a mood, and he didn't dare to easily understand the situation in the basement.

At the same time, he also saw Chen Yingxiong, and opposite Chen Yingxiong, there were countless lines extending to a certain room in the basement. This made Lloyd even more convinced that the place where Shi Tao was imprisoned was underground.

No matter how strange this feeling was, Lloyd didn't dare to stay longer at this moment. He discarded the medical equipment in an inconspicuous corner, and walked quickly towards the basement, towards the room that even he would be afraid of.
