Chapter 38 Cost (recommendation ticket)

At the
gate of the steel plant, Long Yuehong took the walkie-talkie and answered Jiang Baiman’s question:

” Jing Fa! He said his name is Jing Fa!”

There was silence on the intercom side for two seconds, and the rustling voice hovered low and quiet along with the current movement of Ziz.

Then, Jiang Baiman said in a quick tone:

“Withdraw immediately!”

Tone barely fell, she has turned off the intercom.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong didn’t quite understand why the group leader’s reaction was so big, they didn’t even know what happened after they met Jing Fa and whether they were identified as “destined person” “, he directly ordered the withdrawal.

Perplexed, but the two did not violate Jiang Baiman’s decision. On the one hand, they follow the rules of the Ministry of Security when going out and trust the team leader’s experience and judgment. On the other hand, It is because they are also full of fear for the mechanical monk who is full of strange theories.

The two of them had no words, holding their assault rifles, bending their backs slightly, and taking big strides, rushing to the outside of the steel plant.

With the physique of the two genetically improved people, plus for a long time, they insisted on training. It is not too difficult to maintain a high-speed running state for a period of time, until you get out of the broken concrete road and prepare to turn They only slowed down a little bit when they approached the hidden place where the jeep parked and took a few breaths.

And the Jeep has already started, trying to meet them.

This time, Bai Chen is sitting in the driver’s seat again.

Boom! Boom! Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong each got into the back seat and closed the door.

Huh, huh, the two gasped for breath.

“Drive at full speed.” Jiang Baiman told Bai Chen, turning to ask Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, “How far are you from Jing Fa when you use the walkie-talkie?”

“Very far, we are at the steel factory, huh, at the gate, Jing Fa, yes, huh, should go behind the chimney, we can’t see each other anymore.” Long Yuehong replied while breathing.

He didn’t at all see where Jing Fa was. He just relied on their respective directions, approximate speed and time spent when they were separated. It can be said to be very inaccurate and can only be used as a reference.

Jiang Baiman obviously has a certain understanding of the layout of the ruins of the steel factory, and he recalls briefly:

“This distance is not too safe… The monitoring system of the mechanical monk is very strong. Can capture the movement of distant places.

“Bai Chen, don’t care about the battery, and don’t be afraid of overturning, keep the current speed. “

Long Yuehong only noticed that the team leader had picked up the rather heavy grenade gun and replaced it with a grenade with a larger explosive formidable power.

“Team leader, Jing Fa said that we have no relationship with the monastic order, so don’t be so nervous. He gave out the key information quickly, lest Jiang Baiman overreact.

Jiang Baiman looked at the rearview mirror and shook his head invisibly:

“This is not the point.

“You should all have learned that there are certain flaws in the’immortal man’ technology, and all mechanical monks have certain spiritual problems.

“These problems have nothing common with each other, and according to the information collected by the company, Jing Fa, um, he is one of the more active mechanical monks on the earth, he is mainly…”

Jiang Baiman paused and said:

“Hate women! “

“Huh? “Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong both understand the meaning of these four words, but not quite clear what it means and how serious it is.

Jiang Baiman glanced at Bai Chen and said:

“As long as Jing Fa meets a woman, or even just hears a woman’s voice, he will go crazy and attack everyone around him indiscriminately.

“From the traces on certain corpses, he has a tendency to torture.”

“He is just a robot…” Long Yuehong couldn’t imagine.

Jiang Baiman exhaled:

“That’s why it’s terrifying… By the way, who of you guys will use that external skeleton device?”

I didn’t wait for Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong responded, her already solemn expression became more serious:

“Quiet.”

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong instantly understood something, turned their heads and looked out the window, looking for The silhouette of the mechanical monk in red robes.

However, they can only see sparse woodland, soft earth, black swamps and rocks of various sizes, apart from this, nothing.

At this time, there were many potholes and rocks ahead, Bai Chen had to slow down the Jeep.

The car is really going to overturn, and the problem is even more serious.

Jiang Baiman slid down inexplicably with his grenade gun’s left palm, and silently patted Bai Chen’s right elbow.

Bai Chen didn’t turn his head. He hit the steering wheel to the left and lowered the speed even lower, almost returning to his usual state.

Throughout the process, the windows on both sides of the Jeep were open.

Suddenly, a black silhouette with ragged monk robes and red robes jumped down from the trees beside the road, and went straight to the co-pilot position where Jiang Baiman was. It was the mechanical monk Jing Fa who claimed to be a monk. !

But at
this time, Jiang Baiman seemed to have a hunch, and he raised the grenade gun and aimed at the “immortal man”.

It looks like Jing Fa actively rushes towards the grenade that is about to be launched.

And the formidable power of the grenade filled with high explosive is enough to cause damage to the mechanical monk.

Just as Jiang Baiman pressed down his fingers and was about to pull the trigger, the red light eyes on Jing Fa’s metal face suddenly flickered.

Jiang Baiman suddenly saw many people.

The silhouettes of those people are slightly illusory, lying on the ground around them, frantically grabbing dirt, gravel and leaves, and stuffing them into their mouths.

“Their” belly is high and bulging, and it seems that they will be cracked by what is eaten at any time, but “they” do not feel full at all, and eat whatever they see in.

Jiang Baiman seems to have become one of these people: she has no physical sense of hunger, but thinks that she should be hungry. She is in a hungry state and must eat something.

This kind of impulse, this kind of self-recognition, made her unable to control herself, and immediately released the index finger of the right hand pressed on the trigger, and threw the grenade gun back onto her leg.

She took out a bag of compressed biscuits, frantically tore open the package, and stuffed the food into her mouth.

In the process, she didn’t even bother to drink water, her eyes turned pale after choking, and she couldn’t help swallowing.

It’s not just her, Bai Chen also stepped on the brakes and frantically nibbling on the energy bar, while Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong each took out their food and enjoyed the late dinner without reason.

They completely ignored the danger of a famous and dangerous enemy coming over.

In the click of light sound, the mechanical monk Jing Fa fell beside the jeep.

He opened the door of the co-driver with his left hand, pointed his right palm at Jiang Baiman and Bai Chen, and also covered Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong.

And until this time, Jiang Baiman broke free from the hunger he thought.

The one after another on the surrounding ground, the slightly illusory silhouette with a tall belly, is already disappeared.

Almost at the same time, Shang Jianyao leaned forward slightly and dropped his head.

Jing Fa paused for two seconds, did not use laser weapons, nor did he spray flames to purify the four people. The red light in his eyes flashed several times and then said:

“You are Don’t you think this poor monk is going to save you now?

“This poor monk won’t be what you want. This poor monk will take you to the depths of the swamp first and find a place where no one will disturb you. Enjoy it. “

When he spoke, only Jiang Baiman and Bai Chen looked at.

Jiang Baiman’s face changed slightly, but he did not respond, as if he was thinking about how to solve the problem in this situation.

At this time, Shang Jianyao straightened up and asked as confirmation:

“Are you awakened?” “

“Yes. “Even if they are hostile to each other, even if they are crazy about seeing a woman, Jing Fa seems to maintain the principle of “a monk doesn’t lie”.

He observed the seat while continuing to use the laser of his right hand. Weapons and flamethrowers were aimed at Jiang Baiman and Bai Chen, while walking towards the back seat, opened the door.

“This poor monk sits in the middle. “He said in a cold and non-emotional voice.

This way he can monitor everyone in the car and let the Jeep drive to his destination smoothly.

Shang Jianyao got off the car quickly and let Open the position, as if the opponent is not the enemy now.

The mechanical monk Jing Fa did not relax his guard on them, and the horse sat in the middle of the back row with a golden sword.

Shang Jianyao Sitting on the side, as if thinking about something, he said:

“Hating women is your flaw? “

He didn’t use the word “cost”, he used the ordinary person to describe the “defects” commonly used in mechanical monks.

Jing Fa did not lie, and truthfully replied:

“No, the price I paid was increased lust.

“I originally thought that after uploading the consciousness to the robot within the body, it would be purified and no longer affected. It turned out not to be the case.”

Shang Jianyao made a sudden realization :

“I thought I can’t lie.”

“It is the commandment of the cult.” Jing Fa will answer all questions, “Anyway, you will all be free. It doesn’t matter if you know it.”

Shang Jianyao closed the door of the jeep and asked curiously:

“What ability was just now?”

“Six Roads of “Hungry Ghost Path” in Samsara.” Jing Fa looked towards Bai Chen with red light eyes, “Drive, go straight.”

Hear the question and answer between Shang Jianyao and Jing Fa, Long Yuehong Both Bai Chen and Bai Chen had a hard to describe absurdity:

Ming that the mechanical monk wanted to take him and others to a certain place to torture him, Shang Jianyao and him acted like friends they had not seen for many years. .

Just as Bai Chen stepped on the accelerator, Jiang Baiman laughed out:

“Haha, I understand!

“You hate women because The current body makes you unsatisfied, and your evasion behavior of uploading consciousness has caused your defects to be magnified countless times! Your psychology has been distorted, and only physical violence can give you some relief!

“Haha, isn’t your religious group talking about the purity of the six elements? Your monk’s heart is so dirty!”

Jing Fa, who was forcibly suppressing consciousness fluctuations, was suddenly difficult Self-control, his red light eyes were bright, his body leaned forward, and he was about to pounce on Jiang Baiman in the co-pilot’s position to be violent.

Jiang Baiman did not dodge, but took the initiative to greet him, bounced his left arm, and pinched the metal-cast neck of Jing Fa black.

Her left index finger was stretched out long ago, carrying a tiny silver white electric current into a hole in the neck of the mechanical monk.

That is the “tool” attached to the electric eel-type biological prosthesis. It has components such as connecting chips, circuits, and sensors. It can be used to read the data of computer things and break the firewall within a certain strength!

The mechanical monk, apart from human consciousness, is essentially an artificial intelligence robot.
