Chapter 134 Under the Sun
"Two of you, you ordered a cup of cranberry Jesus and a foaming Effari."
An artificial beach filled with light white gravel, open-air shade Under the umbrella, the waiter weakly served two drinks. Without waiting for the customer to ask any more questions, he took out the plate and left immediately.
The weather today is pretty good.
The rainy season that lasted for nearly half a month has finally stopped. This cheap open-air bar on the beach in Gaoge District has reopened. Under the dazzling but not blinding golden sunshine, many people have gathered here. Few people.
And at the very corner of this beach.
Song Shi took a sip of the alcoholic drink called "Aifali" and then looked forward again.
"Cranberry Jesus" has been on for a long time, but until the floating ice cubes gradually began to melt, the young woman sitting on the other side of the round table was still silent.
In other words, I was shocked by the huge amount of information.
This is a woman young enough to be called a "girl". She wears loose casual clothes and has blond hair. Her level of prosthetics is not too high, aside from a pair of implanted prosthetic eyes. In addition, only the right hand has undergone certain prosthetic transformation.
After a long time, the girl finally came back to her senses and spoke with some difficulty.
"So, my father has really"
"This is your father's urn."
Song Shi leaned over and took it out from the handbag on the side. A metal box was pushed over.
"After Marico died in the research institute, they did not destroy the body directly, but temporarily placed it in a cold storage. Maybe they had some idea." Song Shi said: "I didn't know about it until later. , I went to snatch your father’s body out, but the physical damage was too serious, so I could only cremate it first.”
The girl, or rather, Marico's only daughter, Meira Bennett.
Meira opened her eyes wide, her gaze kept moving between Song Shi and the metal box. Finally, she slowly took the metal box and opened it tremblingly. There was white dust inside.
"How did my father die?"
She asked.
"I lied to him." Song Shiyan said concisely and to the point: "The fundamental reason for your father's death was the onset of 'cyber psychosis', and the direct factor was me. You can think that I accelerated this process. ”
"."
Hearing this, Meira fell silent again.
After a while, she asked again: "Are you very powerful? I mean killing, shooting, making bombs or hacking."
"What I think about myself now The evaluation is quite satisfactory." This question made Song Shi think about it, and he replied: "But if it is limited to Palose, he is probably a hundred times better than the street boys you have met."
"Then, why do you insist on my father's death?" Meera took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice: "You said that when you were in the research institute, you needed my father to leave - but you also said that you are very powerful! And My father is an unemployed engineer!”
"The situation is different."
Song Shi stared at each other, and the two looked at each other: "From the moment we met, not a single word I said was a lie."
"I was It's true that you need your father to leave. It's also true that I'm in compliance now."
The young man paused and said, "Of course, you can also regard me as the murderer of your father. This is your right and freedom."
"I - of course I don't think so!" Meira suddenly raised her voice: "The people in the institute are the real murderers, you, you."
"I have already killed them all." Song Shi said.
Meera was stunned for a moment.
"In the research institute where your father and I were volunteers, I came to kill the person in charge of the 'experimental volunteer recruitment'." He took out a data card: "These people are dying All the previous pictures are here.”
Subconsciously, Meira swallowed. "So you are here to kill me now?" She wanted to ask this, but she didn't say it after all.
"You"
"Because I had an agreement with your father, this is the reason why I came today." Song Shi said, paused: "Let me ask more questions, Marico went to the research institute Did he leave anything for you before?"
"Yes." After hearing this, Meira was silent for a moment: "He left me a video."
Said. Here, Meira stopped talking and took no further action. She was obviously unwilling to show the video to a stranger.
"Your father loves you" Song Shi wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, he found that he was not good at such words, so he only said one sentence: "Mariko does love you. Yes, the one thing he couldn’t let go of before he died was you.”
"This is the agreement."
Song Shi took out another personal ID card, inserted it into his phone, and clicked a few times.
An electronic contract begins to be shared.
Meira's prosthetic eyes lit up slightly, and regardless of the person in front of her, she quickly skimmed to the bottom of the contract and found the familiar personal ID number and signature.
——[Marico Bennett].
The signature time is 21:37 pm on September 23, 2150. That is, less than half a year ago.
Meera felt a little dizzy, more like a trance.
A few months ago, when she came home from school, she found that Marico was not at home. She didn’t take it seriously at first. As a company employee, it was normal to work overtime all night and not go home when there was no time - she only found out later , in fact, my father had already been optimized at that time.
It wasn't until a whole week passed that she finally realized something was wrong. When she was about to go directly to Marico's company, her aunt's family suddenly came to the door. And, a key-restricted video of Marico.
The password is a string of numbers that only Meera knows.
Then, she truly understood the cause and effect of everything.
Honestly, she thought she had accepted it all. After the initial disbelief and unwillingness to admit it, time, or the pressure of survival, would erase all excess emotions.
Until now.
——Facing this stranger who suddenly came to him.
"There are 200,000 credit points in this card. They are all clean money. They can withstand the review of 'Dark Crystal Credit' and can be used at any time." Song Shi took out a credit card and handed it over Give her: "At the same time, until you are twenty-five years old, 4,000 credit points will be credited to this account regularly every month. In addition, I have also paid off your thirty-year 'learn to grow old' education loan."
"Well, in principle, I have no right to interfere with the use of this money. But I still hope that you can live up to Marico's expectations - at least don't use it for candy and anchoring."
Mela Sitting blankly.
Irresistibly, the thought "Is this the money my father earned with his life?" arose in her mind. When she thought of this, she felt the flames of anger burning in her heart. But in the next moment, the thought "Half a year later, without her knowing it, the other party is actually willing to keep his promise?" also came to her, making her confused, confused, and shocked.
These complex emotions were intertwined, prompting her to ask: "Who are you?"
The sunlight in the sky gradually shifted, casting mottled traces.
Song Shi raised his face and thought for a while.
He looked straight at the other person, lit a wisp of flame with his index finger, and gently tapped his temple:
"Free Bounty Hunter. Nandou."
