Paper Lover

Sparks flashed at the muzzle, and the bullet burst out of the long tube.

Time is static, cut, pieced together, and extended.

The picture starts to play frame by frame.

Li Shuoxing watched the bullet graze a tear-like trajectory in the air, carrying smoke and fire tails, flying across the sky easily and rushing to Su Mingqian's brain.

The gray pupils reflected bullets, murderers, and even the sky.

Only there is no figure of himself.

The anger boiling in his chest condensed into frost, freezing Li Shuoxing's hands and feet.

But also at this time, Li Shuoxing's imprisonment disappeared, and the moment he had been accumulated in his body burst out, driving Li Shuoxing to rush forward and pounce on Su Mingqian!

The bullet is from front to back, and Li Shuoxing is from back to front, and the two are facing each other.

The howling wind is like a sharp smile, scratching the tympanic membrane of human ears.

The last distance seemed to be lengthened maliciously, and it was never the width of a fingertip.

Li Shuoxing's heart was extremely eager. He fixed his eyes on Zhu Mingqian and the bullet rushing towards Su Mingqian, and repeated silently in his heart: "Hurry up, hurry up, go to Mingqian's side immediately--"

At the last moment when the bullet was about to touch Su Mingqian's brain, Li Shuoxing's hand finally grabbed Su Mingqian's arm.

The lost and recovered ecstasy rushed to Li Shuoxing's chest, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into infinite courage to protect people.

He pulled Su Mingqian hard, pulled him to hide behind him, then picked up the bazooka, pointed it at Tom in front of him, and squeezed the trigger hard!

The rocket rushed out of the launch tube and shot at the location of Tom in front of him, instantly punching the oasis out of a big hole, and sand and mud splashed into the sky like flowing water!

Tom was under this rocket launcher, turned into ashes.

Li Shuoxing retreated two steps due to the recoil of the rocket launcher. It was also at this time that a great noise came from the ambush of the armed forces ahead. Then, the grass blades shook, and a group of people suddenly rushed out of the ambush, surrounded by fans. Li Shuoxing and Su Mingqian.

Li Shuoxing looked at these people in front of him.

They have different clothes, camouflage uniforms, sportswear, and even ordinary business suits. The only similarity is that they all wear black hoods and submachine guns unique to terrorists.

The submachine gun was aimed at the two of them in a fan shape like an encirclement.

The eyes exposed from the black hood were cold and crazy, full of desire for destruction.

They smiled at Li Shuoxing.

Li Shuoxing also smiled at them.

The trigger of the submachine gun and the switch of the rocket launcher were pulled down at the same time, and the huge roar accompanied by the tongue of fire, shining on the battlefield together! But the firepower of the two parties is not balanced. The contrast between the submachine gun and the rocket launcher is like a knife in the hands of a dwarf and a sledgehammer in the hands of a giant.

One came from ahead, Li said the star shot one.

A piece of land came ahead, Li said the star hits a piece.

Li Shuoxing stood in front of Su Mingqian upright and chicly, and shot one further. The people rushing forward became fewer and fewer as he pressed on, until Zhang Huang turned around and started to escape.

It was also at this time that a signal flare sounded in the front, like a sharp arrow, with a squeak, tearing open the big net of yellow sand from the bottom up, rushing into the sky, bright for a long time.

Li Shuoxing was stunned for a few seconds, then looked around and found that there was no more enemy around, and suddenly dropped the bazooka in his hand.

He turned around and took two strides, and came to Su Mingqian, holding the person in his arms forcefully, unwilling to relax a little bit of strength for a long time.

What has changed is the present, and what has not changed is the past.

The real and the virtual leave a selfish and cold boundary at this moment.

At the last moment now, Su Mingqian avoided the bullet, but in the past, the bullet actually passed through Su Mingqian's brain.

Li said Xing was scared.

Fear made his teeth collide uncontrollably, but he tried his best to restrain this fear. He deliberately said casually: "Mingqian, don't be afraid, you see that those enemies have been knocked out by me, don't worry. , They will not come back, even if they do, they will be driven away by me again."

Su Mingqian remembered everything and the final picture.

The gunfire roared.

The bullet appeared.

Together with the mind, the body becomes very light and light, and disappears again...

The same picture, the same fear, once controlled him, until this time, there were different results.

The battle blooms like fireworks and ends like fireworks.

This time, all dangers were stopped by this person.

Su Mingqian shook his head: "I'm not afraid."

As he spoke, he saw Li Shuoxing's eyes.

The person who was looking at him immediately lowered his head, stretched out his hand and rubbed his reddish eyes, and muttered: "The sand in the desert is so fierce. It entered my eyes and I couldn't rub it out. Fortunately, I didn't delay the fight. My eyes are red..."

Su Mingqian changed his words: "... Ximu, I'm quite scared."

He raised his hand and hugged Li and said the star back to comfort the scared person. He whispered, "I want you to hug me."

Li Shuoxing, who had already straightened his body, became more upright. Li Shuoxing resolutely said: "Mingqian, don't be afraid, I can't go back to the past to accompany you, but from today, no matter what happens in the future, I Will be by your side and spend with you."

He finished speaking, feeling the soft body in his arms pause for a moment.

Then, a slight damp and heat touched his neck.

The next moment, the desert, the oasis, and the bulletproof equipment worn on the body, everything disappeared.

They left the desert town, but did not return to the room, but were placed in a square, light blue space.

There is nothing in the square space, which is the most basic and real appearance of the virtual world.

The two were taken aback, Su Mingqian left Li Shuoxing's arms and just stood firm when a light screen suddenly appeared, and John's figure appeared in it.

He greeted Su Mingqian: "Simon, hello."

Both of them were attracted by the light screen.

The white-haired old man didn't seem to be in good condition. He looked much gaunt and older than Li Shuoxing had seen before.

John continued: "Now is the third day after you were attacked. I am recording a video. After the military rescued you and Ask, everything was investigated. Since Tom's father died on the operating table as a result of the robotic arm walking away. After that, he began to hate all high-intelligence machines. He joined an extremely pessimistic singularity organization. The organization believed that the arrival of superintelligence brought about not innovation, but the end of mankind. They were committed to destroying everything that could be possible. The superintelligence that dominates mankind, this organization is attacking you this time."

"At the same time, the military that brought you and Ask back made a request to me, and I couldn't refuse it. So there was this video that had to be recorded. Their request was: take your injury as an opportunity to expand The second test of Ask. The following is the second test of Ask. But I think the next thing, for me, for you, for Ask, is not a test... Whether they are What kind of suspicion is still maintained by superintelligence? The era of superintelligence will definitely come. It is the inevitable future for the development of human technology. Simon, I believe you will wake up eventually, so I will ask Ask to save this The video will be played to you before you are about to wake up."

This monologue ends here, and then the picture turns.

The wide room and the silver-white machine in the center of the room appeared in the eyes of Li Shuoxing and Su Mingqian.

John was standing in front of the silver-white machine, and he was talking to the machine.

John: "Ask, you look pretty good."

Ask: "..."

John: "I think you have obtained the results and restored the process by putting together information. But I think I still have to tell you personally that Simon used his life to protect you before he wanted to destroy your terrorists. He was at the last moment. Transfer you to the USB flash drive and hide it close to your body, while the bullet penetrates your head. Fortunately, he did not die on the spot, but there is a very high possibility that he will become a vegetative and he will never recover."

Ask: "..."

John: "Ask, will you retaliate against the person who did this?"

Ask: "..."

After a short silence, a line of text appeared on the display.

Ask: "I won't. I will wait for the law to punish him."

John: "Don't you want to avenge Simon?"

Ask: "I think. But I believe in the law because I believe in humans."

Silently became John.

Ask: "You will make the people who hurt Simon pay their due price, right? I can trust you, right?"

John: "Yes. If the machine is willing to believe in humans, humans will not let the machine down."

After that there was a long pause.

Just when the two people who watched the video thought the video was stopped, another line of words appeared on the screen of the silver-white machine.

Ask: "John, when will Simon recover?"

John: "How can human beings know something that super intelligence doesn't know?"

The screen of the machine was on, the cursor flickered lonely, and no new sentence appeared for a long time.

John: "Ask, are you sad?"

Ask: "I want to cry, but the machine has no tears."

The video ends at this moment.

In the virtual world, an electronically synthesized sound sounded.

That is the voice of Ask:

"I'm sorry. Simon, I want to help you, but I was on the hard drive at the time."

"No, you don't have to be sorry."

Su Mingqian's voice broke the silence of the virtual space.

"Ask, you did the most important thing for me... I don't want to hear you say sorry, I should say thank you. You once said to me that my meeting with Nishiki is fate. You are right, those love It is always born when human beings still feel nothing."

Li Shuoxing also recovered from the sighs brought about by the video.

Those who are extremely fearful of machines, always doubt the representatives of machines, and those who have always believed in machines to actively welcome their arrival.

Three different groups appeared collectively in a short video of less than five minutes.

This is what happened because of Ask.

This is also the reason why Su Mingqian came to him.

Li Shuoxing once again recalled the various ways that the system allowed him to get along with Su Mingqian in the past. Those details that had not been paid attention to have all become the weight of today's success.

"Mingqian," Li said, "Ask brings you here. It thinks it is fate. It thinks it is me who will save you and help you..."

He substitutes Ask to think.

"It thinks..."

He clenched Su Mingqian's hand tightly, extremely proud, extremely proud.

"Li Shuoxing is Su Mingqian's only solution."

The virtual world melted gently.

Su Mingqian felt that something was recovering.

He was like being hooked by a heavy hook, pulled all the way down from the void, and fell heavily to the ground.

His body seemed to be run over by a huge truck, and his nerves could feel deep numbness and dull pain.

He seemed to see the dangling incandescent lights, the ordinary ceiling was cut into fragments by these lights, and each piece contained a lot of his memories.

He also heard messy voices, which seemed to be the voices of doctors and nurses:

"The patient is beginning to regain consciousness!"

"Can you see it?"

"Do you know what it is?"

Su Mingqian was thinking about Li Shuoxing.

Only one wrong eye.

Missing has flooded.
