Boundless Darkness 47
“Alas…” Yin Mian sighed deeply.
He wandered the streets with his teammates… No, it can’t be said to be wandering. They wanted to get familiar with several safe houses and contact points in Beluga City, as well as the location of the arsenal, the location of supplies, and various escape routes.
Yes, Ye Chan’s ability is convenient, but it also consumes a lot of energy. The ability must be used wisely. He will not waste his precious energy on trivial matters such as “sending teammates to the stronghold to familiarize themselves with the environment”, not to mention the need to step by step Only by measuring the land with your feet can you have a specific and detailed understanding of the surrounding environment.
On the first day they came to Beluga City, they couldn’t act hastily, they had to understand the situation here first. Sending Kongyue as their deputy commander of operations is also because Kongyue has been stationed in the Mechanical Dawn Branch of Beluga City for a long time and knows it very well.
A group of them shuttled through the streets and alleys secretly, avoiding surveillance and avoiding pedestrians on the road. Kongyue didn’t accompany him, and Yinmian only had Thorn Rose and Return to Zero by his side.
“Didn’t you comeBeluga City? Is there anything to be extra aware of in this city? ” Thorn Rose asked.
Yin Mian thought for a while, “The people here are really bad-tempered! If they don’t agree with each other, they will draw out their knives. It’s easy to be slaughtered when eating out, and it’s easy to be slaughtered when buying things. The price is very expensive.”
Come on, if you say it, you don’t say it… Thorn Qiangwei gave up asking.
The three of them hardly spoke. Thorn Rose was too lazy to communicate with these two people, Hui Ling was always taciturn, and Yin Mian, who was always very noisy, didn’t speak because he had something on his mind.
This time, he was worried not because of Kai Xin, but because of Zeroing.
Returning to Zero’s external behavior was very strange. Yinmian couldn’t tell what was strange about him, but Returning to Zero gave him a familiar feeling… This feeling he experienced in Nightingale.
Mechanical, cold, and silent, like a walking puppet, it can’t speak or act without someone’s order, and it doesn’t have its own thoughts.
He not only experienced this feeling from Nightingale…he also experienced it from his “brother”. Yinmian felt as if he was wrapped in a layer of mist, he reached out to grab something, but he didn’t know what it was that he wanted to grab.
Briar Rose saw the vending machine across the road, and crossed the road to buy a can of coffee.
Yinmian took this opportunity to face Guiling and whispered, “Are you the same as me?”
Returning to Zero reacted to these words, and turned to look at him, but there were no other actions or words.
“Where did you live before? Research institute? Are there always many white coats around you?” Yinmian couldn’t explain why he asked such a question, he just… suddenly thought of himself, and that he was called a failure The “brothers” of the product.
“Yes.” Gui Ling turned his head back, “Many white coats, many glass jars and tubes.”
“Do you have any brothers?” Silver Face asked.
“There are no brothers. There is someone who looks the same as me…’I’.” Gui Ling spoke a bit awkwardly, but Yinmian understood his meaning in an instant.
“How did you grow up?” Silver Face asked again.
Returning to Ling replied sternly: “Grow up in a jar.”
“Did someone teach you to read and talk?” Silverface said. “It took me a long time to grow up, but my brothers didn’t. They grew up quickly in the pot. I grew up outside the pot.” Big, growing up is a long process.”
“No one taught me.” Gui Ling turned his head to look at the silver face again, and said softly, “I came out of the jar, and the man in white washed the nutrient solution from my body and put me in another opaque jar , Then I got a lot more things in my head, and I understood a lot of things.”
“Hmm… that thing seems to be called a brain machine, it can be used to read memories, and it can also be used to implant memories.” After Yinmian explained, he rubbed his head and gave a smirk, “I seem to know a lot of things that you don’t. ”
Return to Ling stared at him without speaking.
Yin Mian murmured for a long time, raised his hand and scratched his head, then put it down again: “Maybe it’s because I got out of the jar first, the longer people stay outside the jar, the more they will know.”
If Silver-Mian knew a little more, he would understand that his current emotion is called “embarrassment”.
This kind of emotion may not be very important and not very obvious, but its birth conditions are more complicated than curiosity, fear and love. The latter is close to instinct and is an innate talent, but the generation of “embarrassment” is not A simple “instinct” can explain it clearly.
Thorn Rose came back after buying coffee, and they continued towards their destination.
Yinmian walked side by side with Gui Ling. He shuffled through the streets and alleys of the polar night area of Beluga City. The streets without street lights were very dark. The nights here are always cold. Yinmian wrapped his coat tightly, unable to bear it He let out another long sigh.
Thorn Qiangwei suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around and stared at Yinmian gloomily.
Yin Mian was startled by her eyes, and couldn’t help but say, “I sighed too loudly, did I disturb you?”
“You didn’t disturb me, it was your attitude that made me question you.” Thorn Rose’s eyes cut the silver-faced face like a sharp knife, “You are shaken! Since you received the mission, you didn’t want to kill the rich woman, You’re moaning and hesitating all day, and you’re being negative, and you don’t even know how to hide it.”
She cursed and said irritably: “If you don’t want to do it, get out! Don’t delay my mother’s mission! I don’t need a person with a weak will to be my teammate. I am going to do the mission, not die. My teammates should help me , instead of dragging the entire team back!”
Yin Mian was dumbfounded, and grasped the point of Thorn Rose’s words: “I don’t want to kill the rich woman?”
“Do you still want to quibble?” Thorn Qiangwei suddenly took out a gun from her waist and pointed at Yinmian, “All day long, the rich woman grows rich and the rich woman falls short… She has defected and is our enemy. What’s the use of hesitating? Don’t you think Are you going to betray with her?” She said coldly, “I have reason to suspect that when you face a rich woman, you will get cold feet and betray the mechanical dawn!”
Yin Mian was completely dumbfounded, and couldn’t think of any words to refute Thorn Rose.
The word “betrayal” never came to his mind… Wait, it still came up… The fact that Amber Obsidian became a traitor brought him a considerable shock. He knew that Amber Obsidian was also in the research institute. Growing up, but they never communicated, not even in private. When he got the news of their betrayal, Yin Mian was very puzzled. He was very puzzled, wondering why they chose to betray.
“I exist only to accomplish the noble cause of the Mechanical Dawn! I…I have never thought of betraying…” The silver face was dullSay, “I just have some things that I can’t figure out no matter how much I think about them… and I don’t know what to do.”
Thorn Rose and his eyes met for two seconds, then moved away from the gun.
“You’d better be.” She left without looking back, “Don’t think about it if you don’t understand it. If you don’t know what to do, just follow the order, just like before.”
Just like before?
Yin Mian was stunned.
Gui Ling didn’t follow Thorn Rose, he looked up at Yinmian who was much taller than him, his pupils were pitch black.
“Let’s go, let’s go.” Yin Mian followed Qiangwei thornlessly.
Return to zero and follow the silver noodles.
In the night sky, a sparrow standing on a telegraph pole flapped its wings.
“Do you know what people like us are best at?” Amber opened her eyes and broke the spiritual link with the sparrow.
“What?” Ghost, who took up the body of a tramp, asked, “Kill? Fight?”
“No, it’s following orders.” Amber said, “We are used to following orders, so we never have our own thinking. Eve tells us to kill, and we kill, we don’t think about why, and we don’t think about whether they should Damn.”
Ghost said: “I have never asked you, how did you generate self-awareness? Or…how did you realize that killing people is wrong?”
“As people with spiritual abilities, we are very good at consciousness invasion. When Dawn of the Machine trained us, Hei Yao and I were asked to kill people. We did so, but when we killed that person, the other party’s pain before death , Sadness, and fear are completely transmitted to our brains.” Amber said, “That’s the beginning. We know that death is a painful thing, and every time we kill after that, we in the state of spiritual connection can feel it. to the same pain as the dead.”
“Compared to you guys, that guy codenamed Silver Face is an idiot! Stupid, he doesn’t realize anything.” Ghost said.
“It can’t be his fault. He lives in such an environment, no one teaches him correctly, and he doesn’t have the correct way to learn.” Amber said, “He doesn’t know anything, and he lives quite happily.”
“Now he seems to know something about emotions, so he is unhappy.” Ghost sighed, “Maybe this is the price.”
“Well, the price.” Amber said, “If I want him to choose…he won’t choose to make himself an ignorant tool.”
Children who don’t know much about the world are silly and happy every day, and adults who bear the burden of life are often depressed and forced to smile. This is the same reason.
Amber said seriously: “I have a request.”
“Do you want to ask me to keep the silver face as much as possible?” Ghost said.
“Yes.” Amber said, “There is also zeroing.”
“You know, Amber,” Ghost said, “it’s hard to give good people a place in this world. Since they are our enemies, we can’t be too kind to our enemies. You made the same mistake as Silver Face, He doesn’t want to kill the ‘rich woman’, you don’t want to kill Silver Face and Return to Zero. You are kind to the enemy, will the enemy be kind to you?”
Amber was silent for a moment: “Okay.”
“Let’s go.” Ghost said, “We have to leave to see the contact person.”
“Who is the contact person?” Amber asked.
“Ms. Paulina from the Popov family, you should know her. She has often appeared in the news media these days.”
Amber asked in surprise, “Is she the contact person?”
No matter what, Paulina doesn’t look like someone who can dedicate herself to freedom and equality. If someone preaches freedom and equality by her side, she might let the bodyguards drag that person out.
“It’s not her, it’s one of her illegitimate younger brothers…” Ghost said, “Although he is an illegitimate child, he still has wealth and a lot of social resources that ordinary people can’t match. Learn about the details of the matte organization there.”
