Absolutely Hot [Shogan POI Suspect Tracker]

*3

Three weeks after Shaw disappeared, he stepped into the library again.

Root was in the shower, and the hot water enveloped her body, making her feel relaxed.

When Shaw passed the bathroom door, Root stopped her and said, "Finch says you'll be absent from work for three weeks."

Shaw shook the shopping bag in his hand and replied, "What, does he want to deduct my salary?"

In essence, she was not without work for these three weeks.

It only takes one phone call, and Finch can send her to the front line of the mission. Unfortunately, the calls she received in the past three weeks are just some insignificant investigation work.

Shaw came to the library this time just to question Finch's intentions.

She sat down on the sofa, and Bear jumped over from a few meters away, pounced on her knees, and acted like a baby to her without restraint.

Shaw scratched Bear's head, distracted by the thought that Finch hadn't been honest with Root, that he and the android guide weren't too close.In that case, why did he introduce her to him?

Did he really feel that her need for a guide had reached this point?Even an unstable android guide would gladly accept? Shaw felt a tingle in the back of her head, and she had to crank up the white noise device.

Root appeared wrapped in a towel, and she smiled at her and said, "Sweetie, you obviously need a guide."

Shaw glanced at her irritably, and denied, "I don't need it."

"Really?" Root quietly unfolded the mental barrier, gently surrounding the library, "Have you ever had a guide?"

She sat next to Shaw, trying to enter Shaw's spiritual world.

Shaw, no doubt, resisted.Her resistance was strong and obvious, and Root only felt that there was a gray fog wall between her and Shaw, and no matter what method she used, she could not penetrate this wall.

She couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.It stands to reason that androids shouldn't feel frustrated, but at this moment Root did feel something surging in her electronic heart, causing her consciousness to escape from the control of the program and escape to a place outside the electronic components.

Root took hold of her wrist, and she felt her wrist warm a bit.

Is this a glitch?

The voice of the past played back in his head: her performance was unstable, and she was enough as a first-generation experimental product, but not enough as a tower guide.

She frowned.

The wall of fog that Shaw built became thicker, like a wall of form, pushing Root away from Shaw's world.

Shaw looked indifferent: "I haven't had a guide, so you don't have to work hard."

Root recalled the information he had checked in his mind, and said firmly, "But someone sorted it out for you, right? Is he your partner?"

Shaw glared at her angrily, she didn't ask how Root knew, do androids need to ask more if they want to know one thing?It would be better to directly find some information and input it into the brain, besides, Root is a genius hacker.

Speaking of this incident goes back to the first time she shot Root.She went to ask Finch why he brought back an android, and Finch just pushed his glasses and replied, "She's very talented in programming."

Shaw felt as if he was naked in front of Root, and there was nothing to hide.

A genius hacker android!What the hell is going on with this configuration?Root was obviously created for some kind of war, so why isn't there a war yet?

Root asked again: "Really?"

Shaw felt her anger break through her reason, she gritted her teeth and replied: "Yes, what else do you want to know?!"

Root didn't speak, just gave her a reassuring look.

Shaw's snow leopard was already standing in front of them, spinning uneasily, rubbing its paws on the ground, growling in a low voice from time to time.

Root knelt down and whispered, "Sweetie, Sweetie—"

She stretched out her hand towards the snow leopard, but the snow leopard just circled in place without responding to her trend at all.

Shaw stood beside her, watching her coldly.

She just felt that her mind was buzzing, countless information poured into her mind, and everything around her became extraordinarily clear.

The conversations of nearby pedestrians, the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, a kitten crushing a biscuit...all these things flooded into her brain, pinning her in place.

Root's mental barrier enveloped the room. She tried to calm down the snow leopard first. She persistently reached out to the snow leopard and spoke to it in a low voice.

Her efforts finally paid off.

Snow Leopard whimpered softly, rubbed its head against Root's palm, and lay down beside her.

Root stroked the snow leopard's head, trying to enter Shaw's spiritual world again.This time, she didn't meet so much resistance.

She knew it wasn't Shaw's will.It's just that the current Shaw doesn't have such strong mental power to resist her.

Finally, Root entered Shaw's world for the first time.

This is a gray world.

Just like the fog wall built by Shaw, it is filled with white mist. At the end of the line of sight, you can vaguely see the black tower tip. Occasionally, one or two seagulls land on the tower. Root walks towards the end of the world, where there is a black sky the empty sea.

Shaw was sitting on the pier by the sea, hugging his knees, and looked back at her.

The moist sea breeze blew on Root's face, and she suddenly felt damp in her palms.

It was a strange feeling, Root felt her fingertips trembling slightly, she walked towards Shaw, every step was like stepping on a flame, she felt tormented and sweet at the same time.

Standing beside Shaw, she asked her, "What did you see?"

As opposed to her access to Shaw's spirit world, Shaw will also see her heart.

Root felt a little nervous for the first time in his life.The experimental product in the android guide, the words that commented on her poured out like a tide, and she was not sure what her spiritual world was like.

Shaw hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Summer."

Root's world is a golden desert. The blazing sun hangs high in the sky, emitting heat tirelessly. A phoenix hovers on the horizon, occasionally spit out red flames, making the air tremble.

And she was standing in a small oasis, with a clear spring at her feet and rows of cacti around her.

It was the only life in Root's world, and Shaw stood there.

They withdrew from each other's mind worlds, and Shaw seemed much calmer, but she still didn't speak to Root.

The snow leopard lay beside Root, coquettishly to her, bumped into her arms, gnawed and licked her arms, and finally nestled on her knees, raised her eyes to look at Shaw.

Shaw was still immersed in the scene just now, and she even wondered if she had been withdrawn from Root's world.

She has never entered the spiritual world of others, let alone seen such a scorching sun.

Shaw felt as if she was being burned, the deep sea of ​​depression in her heart was churning, and the fog that had been lingering for years began to loosen. She glanced at Root and looked away again.

Root's heart was beating so fast, in fact, she herself rather doubted that it was a glitch, but a strange feeling in her brain swept through her body with a little warmth.

She found it particularly pleasant to be with Shaw.

Root figured it must be a glitch, she shouldn't feel that way.Program is not set.

Shaw looked down at his own snow leopard, which was rubbing against Root tenderly, and Shaw felt a thin layer of sweat on his back.

She wants to touch Root.

This is a bizarre idea. Shaw had never thought that way about anyone, why?Root just entered her spiritual world?

Shaw thought of her former partner, a tough man who was a guide but had too strong a fighting ability.Occasionally, he would do some spiritual grooming for Shaw, but he never entered Shaw's spiritual world, that was too far.

Of course Shaw knew what this kind of heat meant. The education she had received in the tower told her clearly: after the crisis of her mental stress overload was resolved, the late bonding fever swept her without warning.

Root moved closer to her and said, "It is said that one of my flaws is excess mental strength."

Shaw nodded, she had indeed heard something about it.Some guides have excess mental power, and they especially need a sentinel. When deploying the mental barrier for the sentinel, their mental power will be consumed, otherwise it will be easy to collapse due to excessive mental power.

This is almost impossible in the world of wizards, and it is an absolute defect.

As if it were an ironic joke, the bionic human guide that Tower had painstakingly created had such flaws.

Root was given up as a matter of course, but at the same time she also gave up the tower.

Shaw felt his voice dry: "Is there anything else?"

Root glanced at her and said, "The performance is unstable, the temper is too bad, or the program is prone to errors, whatever else, I have all the faults that the first generation of experimental products should have."

Shaw asked her: "Are you self-aware?"

Root fell silent.She hadn't anticipated the question.

Self-awareness, this is an absolute defect among bionics.should be destroyed immediately.

She answered uncertainly: "My program is not very stable..."

This, Root can confirm, she just felt happy to be with Shaw, this is a kind of instability, androids should treat all human beings equally.

Shaw felt lethargic, and the afternoon was too long for her to feel comfortable.

Shaw unconsciously approached Root, her skin was slightly cold, like a normal android.

This is not the scorching sun, but it still makes her feel hot.

Root felt that Shaw was probing something, she wanted to enter her spiritual world.

Root didn't fight back, in fact she couldn't have resisted.

In her program, wrote such a sentence: Sameen Shaw, her sentinel.

I don't know when this sentence was written, and I don't know who wrote it. Anyway, it exists in Root's program like this, and it cannot be erased.

Shaw stood again in Root's spiritual world, the only oasis, and she looked down at the Wang Qingquan, where her shadow was reflected.

The hovering phoenix flew towards her from the horizon and settled on her shoulder.

Shaw knew what she was going to do.

Mark Root.

Even if it's just a temporary marker.

Go to Mark Root.

Shaw looked at the phoenix on his shoulder, it tilted its head and rubbed against Shaw's face.

Shaw knew where Root was.She is not in her only oasis, but in that vast desert, she stands in the desert, letting the scorching sun erode herself.

Shaw didn't hesitate anymore, hugging her from behind.

Root smiled at her, calling her name sweetly: "Sameen—"

got windy.

Their first kiss was accompanied by the wind that swept across the desert.

There was no tenderness in this kiss, just lips biting lips, teeth bumping into teeth, tongue tip entangled with each other, in the kiss, both Shaw and Root felt that kind of power, an urgent desire to possess each other The power of it, it is like a chain, binding them tightly together.

Something has changed.

Root was clearly aware of this incident, something had changed in her body.

She became possessive of Shaw.This kind of thought should not have appeared on her, and should not have appeared on any bionic person. She should be ruthless and treat all human beings equally.

Some kind of barrier was broken.

Whether Root wanted to admit it or not, she had just crossed a line.

Root looked into Shaw's eyes, and her eyes, like her spiritual world, were a vast deep sea.

That nihilistic kiss seemed to leave a certain touch on them, and now no one resisted the other.

They were sitting on the same sofa, sharing a bag of potato chips, and the feeling of being slightly drunk had not disappeared. Under the effect of the temporary marker, Root was able to enter Shaw's spiritual world and share the same ocean with her.

They enjoy the pleasant silence, the calm before the storm.

Everyone knew that a war was about to break out, but no one spoke.

After a while, Shaw asked hesitantly, "Are we getting married first and then falling in love?"

Root bit the potato chips and smiled lightly: "If I were a bionic person without self-awareness, I would say yes."
