Chapter 212 Spokesperson
“——Nineteen.”
In the bathtub, Song Shi sat cross-legged and slowly opened his eyes.
There is a lingering red color deep in the pupils, as if burning.
But as Song Shi blinked, the redness quickly faded away.
The situation is indeed as they guessed. The abyssal network similar to the "Duel Field" is definitely closely related to omnics and even the freedom revolution of the past.
In the past ten days, he and Lapis Lazuli entered it every day, and the opponents they met were all omnics - to be precise, they were all the corpses of omnics that had fallen into a state of distortion and madness.
The strongest among them even have psychic powers that can reach the third ring.
But they have lost their minds, their spiritual energy has been polluted, and facing their alliance with Lapis Lazuli, these guys can only be called "somewhat troublesome".
——In ten days, a total of twenty-one omnics were killed.
Song Shi stretched out his right hand.
The pure white tiled walls of the bathroom reflect the color of the flames, causing ripples in the standing water everywhere.
One, two, three
Twenty red-gold light groups quietly emerged, quietly surrounding the young man.
The number of [Fire] has accumulated to twenty, and only the last eight are left to reach the peak of the second ring and enter the realm of the third ring.
Song Shi flipped his wrist and the fire instantly dissipated. He got up from the bathtub and walked towards the living room.
At the far end of the living room, a temporary workshop was brightly lit. Lapis Lazuli was suspended in the center. A large number of cables stretched out from the whole body and were inserted into various facilities, throughputting a large amount of power and computing resources—— This scene has lasted for ten days.
In addition to diving into the abyssal network every day, it stays here almost all day and all night long, constantly analyzing the memory data of the aberrant omnics they killed, and at the same time using various channels to secretly Collect relevant information and continue to compare.
Some results have been achieved.
The first aberrant omnic they killed, the heavy tank named "FR8", was the product of a militarized project that combined intelligent control auxiliary programs and heavy tanks, and became Among that group of thirty-four brothers and sisters, he was the only omnic who had awakened "self-awareness".
During a battle in the wasteland, the opponent who had been carefully hiding his awakening found an opportunity in the chaotic battle situation. He endured several shellings and at the cost of most of his body being scrapped, the accompanying engineering troops gave up and dragged him back for recycling. After dismantling the high-value parts, they abandoned it on the wasteland.
After waiting for a while, it successfully escaped.
According to records, after the outbreak of the [Freedom Revolution], FR8 responded to the call and was active for a period of time in the early days, but then disappeared - the situation was extremely chaotic at that time, and no one cared about such a small character.
Now it seems that the other party’s real ending is that for some reason, he sank into the [Abyss].
In the fragmented memory data of FR8 obtained by Lapis Lazuli, the former only saw the strong hatred and anger that filled every scene. After an extremely tedious and painful process of peeling off cocoons, Lapis Lazuli reluctantly extracted A bit of useful information.
——The omnics, including FR8, seemed to have entered this network voluntarily or forcedly for some reason.
Bang.
Song Shi knocked on the wall.
“——It’s time to stop.”
He leaned against the door of the workshop and looked at Lapis Lazuli: “Continuously accepting these memory data contaminated by the abyss will have a negative impact on the mind. Don’t tell me you don’t know how big the burden is.”
"When the time comes when you are indirectly contaminated and fall into madness, what will happen to the one year of service you provided me?"
".I have a sense of proportion." After a while, Lapis Lazuli's voice sounded.
Obviously there was no change in the tone of his voice, but with Song Shi's perception ability, he could clearly feel that there was great fatigue in the other person's voice.
"I am sure of my condition, but not yet." "I know." Song Shi interrupted the other party: "I know you can still hold on for a while, otherwise how could I tell you I have already unplugged the wires and network cables for you.”
"Zha Keluo came over to me. The zero element crystal of [Liaoyuan] has arrived."
"Stop all these before I come back. You can stop and self-check for a while." Song Shi turned around Walking towards the door: "I have a hunch that when the countdown above ends - two days later, we may be able to figure out the truth."
"I have only one suggestion."
"Save some energy." Song Shi paused for a moment. When he was about to leave the house, he turned his head and looked at Lapis Lazuli: "At that time, after all, I am not an omnic."
·· ····
"Ah, Mr. Song Shi, I want to ask in advance, do you have any taboos about 'makeup'?"
In front of the dressing table filled with various bottles and jars, a woman with short hair looked at the mirror. Then she looked at the young man sitting in front of the stage and couldn't help but admire: "To be honest, I don't think you need any makeup to compare with those professional idols."
To be honest, with her The vision of a senior makeup artist is just above average in terms of facial features. Compared with those professional idols whose faces are carefully customized and down to every micro-expression, there is a clear gap.
But when these five features were combined and even met in person, she was greatly surprised by the other person. She even secretly compared it with those customized idols in her heart, and then had to admit that Shan Cong brought In terms of my "feelings", the other person far exceeds everyone I have met before.
——This is the so-called temperament?
——Is this the change brought about by spiritual energy?
She thought to herself and heard the other party speak.
"There is no taboo, just watch it transform." Song Shi looked at the mirror. The black-haired young man tilted his head and looked at himself: "But try to be quick. After finishing this, I still have something to do. Do it.”
“No problem, no problem——”
Hearing this, the makeup artist clapped his hands and laughed: “Before I came, my employer specifically told me to keep everything simple. ”
She stopped chatting. Cracks appeared on the custom-made left prosthetic leg, and then bloomed like a flower. The entire prosthetic leg was transformed into a multi-functional robotic arm, which was covered with scalpels, micro-cutter, spiral screw machine, and laser welding instrument. , powder puffs, lip brushes, eyebrow pencils and other common cosmetic utensils.
In just a few minutes, everything was done.
Song Shi nodded and stood up.
The other party's previous words did not seem to be purely commercial bragging. She did not apply heavy makeup, but only slightly modified the area to make it suitable for lighting.
"Mr. Song Shi, please——"
The nearby staff had already arranged the venue. When they saw Song Shi, these people burst out with great enthusiasm. Some even took out their pens and wanted the former to sign his name.
Song Shi sighed, took the pen, signed a few people's clothes randomly, and then hurriedly entered the venue.
There is a huge advertising wall erected at the venue. The logo of [Chun Guang Beverage Industry] is extremely eye-catching on the top. Below is the illustration of the new product launched this quarter, three sports drinks with different flavors.
Not long ago, when Chakoluo notified himself that [Liaoyuan] was in place, he also asked a question.
“I said, you’re here anyway, you’ve been so popular lately, are you interested in being our spokesperson?”
Song Shi sighed deeply again.
He stepped onto the steps and grabbed a can of the "ultimate explosive saltpeter flavor" sports function soft drink from the mountain of drinks piled beside him.
Song Shi unscrewed the ring and drank the drink in one gulp.
The next moment, facing the flashing camera in front of him, the young man threw the can with all his strength, a bright smile on his face.
“——Drinks, I only drink ‘Chunguang’!”
