Chapter 248: You can be an alternative

With Zheng's shout, the police force rushes in, and the Bioroids take on the elite of the military and police, and a great battle between dark technology and ordinary human beings breaks out in Mandela's core bunker.

In the blink of an eye, shouts, gunshots, and the clash of metal against metal were intertwined.

The scene was too chaotic, so Duan Cuizhen shrilled, "He Yu , come back! Your mission is now to keep me safe!"

Without a moment's hesitation, He Yu broke through the siege and ran in the direction of Duan Cuizhen, but halfway there, a man stood out in front of him.

Amidst the smoke and blood, Xie Qingcheng stood in front of him!

He Yu narrowed his eyes, and for some reason didn't do it right away, "Get out of the way."

"That Vivian standing over there is not your mother." Xie Qingcheng said, "He Yu, wake up."

"Of course I know it's not my mother, but as long as Duan Cuizhen is alive, sooner or later my mother can come to life in the Mandela universe too!" He Yu said in a harsh voice, "Get out of my way!!!"

Xie Qingcheng's voice rose, "You are being controlled! Mandela, even if the meta-universe is built, the one who will be resurrected won't be your mother, it's just some simulated illusory reflection, you once knew this very well in your heart. Think about your past, your life was filled with one thing of joy and sorrow, one flesh and blood person, it can't be replaced by any set of data - you are unique, and so is your mother!"

He Yu's eyes were slightly troubled, and Xie Qingcheng's words seemed to have repercussions on the conceptual system that Mandela had forcibly implanted in his mind.

There are bits and pieces of the past playing on his mind ......

As a child, He Jiwei took himself fishing, one of the few father-son moments he can still remember, even though it was only one afternoon.

Xie Xue pulled out a candy and handed it to his hand, which was still warm from the palm of the little girl's hand, and she grinned up at him.

Xie Qingcheng stood by the chair, putting on a mask, his peach blossom eyes looking into He Yu's eyes, he asked He Yu to hold out his hand, and the white soft gauze wrapped one line after another around He Yu's dripping blood wrist.

......

"If every person you meet becomes extracted data that can be recreated, if every life becomes data that can be uploaded and downloaded at will, edited and extended indefinitely ...... the boundaries between reality and the virtual will no longer be distinguishable. You will be anesthetized day after day in a world you expect to see, and you think that world has all the things you have lost, but the truth is that what is lost is lost, and it is impossible to get it back! The so-called Mandela meta-universe is just exploiting human emotions to trick you into forgetting those who are real and sleeping forever in a realistic dream world."

He Yu: "......"

"Reality cannot be replaced." Xie Qingcheng said to him, because up to this point in time he had not yet engaged He Yu, he knew that He Yu was able to listen to some of his words, and that it was as if Mandela's steel pole had been driven into He Yu's mind, and that he could not move because of his confinement, and yet He Yu's inner self was being suppressed by the steel pole.

He knew that He Yu was awake under that abyss.

There are people fighting all around, each with their own opponent, and Xie Qingcheng is facing He Yu.

He Yu's eyes were slightly dazed.

Feeling that he hesitated, Xie Qingcheng trembled and said, "You wake up ...... He Yu, I know that there are many regrets in this reality, and many times it will make people feel incomparably painful. You have lost your mother, you have lost your affection ...... You have lost many things, but it is because of this kind of loss that people will continue to grow, to learn to cherish, to understand the meaning of life for themselves. The kind of world that Duan Cuizhen depicts to you, where anyone and anything can be replaced, will instead cause you to gradually become intoxicated and paralyzed in illusion, and ultimately forget those who are most real to them. Do you understand?"

"......"

"Don't listen to him!!!" Duan Cuizhen was hiding at a distance not daring to get too close, but as she saw that the situation was critical, she shouted at He Yu, "Don't listen to what he's saying! What is irreplaceable? The so-called 'love' in this world is nothing more than human beings searching for self-identity; you seek the so-called affection and friendship and love in order to make yourself feel happy - people live for themselves! Mandela The meta-universe allows you to get all that you want and regain all that you have lost, you are the master of your own destiny, what's wrong with that?!"

He Yu couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his brow.

He felt a pain in his skull, his flesh and blood ached like it was being torn apart.

"He Yu! Have you forgotten why you fell in love with Xie Qingcheng? You are also just looking for something that can fill the empty hole inside you, aren't you?" Seeing that he was still hesitating, Duan Cuizhen, in a rush of emotion, had a change of heart and shouted in a shrill voice, "It can be anyone, as long as they are good to you! Have you forgotten? It wasn't Xie Qingcheng you liked in the beginning, he was the person you turned your attention to because you couldn't get enough of Xie Xue!"

Xie Qingcheng : "!!!"

Xie Xue?

Despite the circumstances, Xie Qingcheng was still shocked.

He Yu used to ...... like Xie Xue?

It was as if a gap had been opened in the dam, and then the past had rushed down like a flood--

On Neverland, He Yu mistakenly thinks that he's Xie Xue under the Fox Condom, thus saying those words.

Inside the Hang Hotel, He Yu says he's fallen out of love, looks him in the eye, and finally errs on the side of falling into a kiss.

The girl from the same school that He Yu used to like that he never asked about ......

Xie Qingcheng was enlightened and realized the origin of all this!

He froze in place for a moment.

Taking this opportunity, Duan Cuizhen shouted, "He Yu, come here!"

"......"

He Yu's brow furrowed.

"Come here! He was lying to you! He left you behind! And you weren't even meant for him!!!" The woman's voice was as sharp as a drill, stabbing into He Yu's heart!

She screamed hysterically, "No one values you at all! You'll just be cheated over and over again! Wake up you! Think about what he used to do to you! Have you forgotten all about it?! You've done nothing more than use him as a replacement for Xie Xue, but how much you've suffered at his expense! Think about it!!!"

He Yu's eyes became more and more confused, he covered his head, and as Duan Cuizhen screamed, a scene flashed before his eyes of Xie Qingcheng's former indifference-

"What do I have to do with you being sick."

"Let me know in your dreams when you're dead, and if I'm in a good mood, maybe I'll go to your grave and burn incense for you. Bastard."

"Get lost!"

Roll ......

Roll!

In front of me is the back of Xie Qingcheng, dragging the suitcase without looking back. ......

The scene was like sharp splinters through the body!

He Yu shivered as if a million unseen wounds had blossomed in him, and a million arrows had pierced his heart ......

He muttered, "Yes ...... there's a hole in my heart ...... there's a hole in my heart ...... you're all lying to me... . none of you want me ...... are fake, candles are fake, friends are fake, relatives are fake ...... none of you are real!!!"

"That's why I ...... that's why I ...... that's why I'm always looking for a replacement for all this warmth ...... "

He looked up abruptly, his pupils bloodshot, the light of his eyes quivering in them.

"There is nothing that cannot be replaced ...... You too ...... You are nothing more than a replacement! You will always be nothing more than a substitute! It was me who used too much of my heart on a substitute and ended up putting myself in this situation! It was me who was stupid!!!"

He snapped his gaze to Duan Cuizhen, whose eyes were nearly completely empty.

"You're the one who's right ......You're right ......There's nothing that can't be replaced ......The feelings in this world are ultimately just humans trying to satisfy themselves! There is nothing that cannot be replaced!!!"

He let out a violent shout, the color of blood in his eyes increased, the bullets had been exhausted, he drew out his bayonet, held it in his palm, and rushed straight towards Xie Qingcheng!

"Look out!"

One of the nearest armed police fighters had just killed a reformer, and when he turned his head to see the situation here, he immediately ran to support him, and instantly fought with He Yu in the dark.

At the same time, Zheng Jingfeng had also ended his fight with a bunch of hyenas and approached Duan Cuizhen - this was the chance - with his panther eyes glaring and bellowing!

She is lacking in protection at the moment!

"Ahhhh!!!" Duan Cuizhen screamed hysterically as she saw Zheng Jingfeng attacking her, hastily dodging one of Zheng Jingfeng's attacks as she took off in a frenzy, running towards the main console.

Zheng Jingfeng immediately caught up with her, but Duan Cuizhen was no match for the veteran detective, and saw that the second blow was about to be directed at her brow!

Suddenly--

Somehow, Duan Cuizhen collapsed by the pillar of the main drill hall.

Zheng Jingfeng was stunned. Before he could stab her in the vitals of her brain, she collapsed to the ground like a beautiful snake shedding its skin, her dismal red dress spreading out behind her, her eyes wide open and unfocused as she stared woodenly at the ceiling of the crypt.

Zheng Jingfeng For a moment, he thought she was faking it, and for another moment, he thought she'd been hit by someone else's stray bullet.

However, before these thoughts had time to take root, he suddenly felt the cold hairs on the back of his neck stand up, and a professional sixth sense instinct accumulated over the years caused him to plop down on the ground at once! Sure enough, in the short time he was on the ground, he heard a loud crack, a three-meter-high glass dish in front of him was hit by a bullet, and the drug reactor gushed out wildly from behind the chapped and shattered glass, along with the body soaking inside it slipped out and rushed on him.

He was instantly sick to his stomach. Immediately, he got up from the ground.

But he couldn't care about that, and he suddenly turned his head to look, his pupils shrinking as he saw who had fired this cold shot at him!

The man who shot him was--

Duan Wen?

Wasn't he controlled by Xie Qingcheng?

"Lao Zheng! He's not Duan Wen ...... I can feel it! He's not Duan Wen! It's Duan Cuizhen! She can invade Duan Wen's brain through that machine!!!"

As the battle raged on this side, Xie Qingcheng heard the sound and rushed over to Zheng Jingfeng, shouting a reminder.

Zheng Jingfeng was so shocked that he subconsciously turned back to look at Vivian's body, which had fallen to the ground.

When is she ......

After he hadn't thought about it, he saw a fuchsia button shaped instrument held in her palm!

It turns out that Duan Cuizhen's brainwaves were left in a state of shock when she moved from the little boy to Vivian. She knew that this was a temporary move that wouldn't support her for long, and in order to give herself a way out, she quietly held the spare improvised remote that was fixed to the console in the palm of her hand during the melee.

Before the operation started, Duan Wen had done another brain co-connection experiment with her because several tests were needed, so at the moment Duan Wen still had the corresponding electric wave sheet attached to the side of her neck, which had not been removed. As long as both of them were still near the large operating table and affected by the radiated wave envelope of the table, there was a chance of realizing it through this simple converter.

The gamble worked out for her.

Duan Cuizhen's willpower was extraordinary, and at this time, it was even more of a beast that was forced into a desperate situation, and the power of his personal mind was completely stimulated, becoming unusually overbearing and ferocious, so the time to invade other people's brains was even longer and smoother than before.

"Old Zheng! Hurry up!" Xie Qingcheng tried his best to suppress Duan Cuizhen with the blood compulsion, but it was clear that he could barely contain this madman anymore ......

The situation was getting more and more chaotic, and in a situation where it was very easy to get hurt by accident Zheng Jingfeng was unable to shoot, so he had to grab his military dagger and pounce, this time aiming for Duan Wen's brain.

Clang!

At this last moment, Duan Cuizhen completely broke free of the blood parasites and held a piece of broken alloy steel pipe from the side, crossing over and blocking Zheng Jingfeng's attack!

The alloy steel tube and the military dagger rubbed dazzling metal sparks.

The snowy light of the knife reflected in the eyes of the two men.

Duan Wen stared at Zheng Jingfeng from behind a steel pipe, and abruptly flashed a cold smile belonging to Duan Cuizhen at his opponent - the two fought a big fight, fighting in close combat!

In terms of close combat, Zheng Jingfeng was the number one in the police academy back in the day. Although he is now old and his strength is not what it used to be, he is more experienced and it is expected that Duan Cuizhen plus Duan Wen will not be a match for him.

However, after a dozen or so moves, Zheng Jingfeng was getting more and more alarmed as he realized that no matter how he moved, Duan Wen seemed to know it in advance.

"Who the hell are you ......" Zheng Jingfeng questioned, "Who the hell are you?!!!"

Duan Cuizhen only smiled without answering.

Xie Qingcheng's heart thumped, remembering that he hadn't asked the messenger cook to inform Zheng Jingfeng of this matter in advance, he immediately shouted, ''Old Zheng! Don't use the fighting techniques you used to teach your disciples! He is Chen Lisheng!"

Zheng Jingfeng: "!!!"

"Duan Wen is Chen Lisheng!!!" Xie Qingcheng bellowed in the melee, "Duan Cuizhen occupies his brain, she can share his memories!!!"

Zheng Jingfeng was struck by lightning, and in this instant, he seemed to understand everything ......

Duan Wen, is Chen Lisheng ......

He is Xie Ping's disciple.

His old classmate, Xie Ping, had for so many years unreservedly passed on all his experience to this young man, teaching him so earnestly and instructing him so responsibly.

Because Xie Ping's own fighting ability is not the best, he once slipped Zheng Jingfeng a packet of soft Chinese in order to make Chen Lisheng better than the blue, and privately asked Zheng Jingfeng to bring him around more.

Zheng Jingfeng still remembers that afternoon when he and Xie Ping bantered.

--

"You want me to lead your own apprentice?"

"You wrestle better than anyone else, take the cigarettes and man up and teach them well."

"On what grounds, he doesn't call me Master."

"Old Zheng ...... how you are still here with me on your me, quickly take away the cigarettes, and then do not take away I sent to the director!"

"Stand still! Bring it over! Really, why do you teach an apprentice like a son ......"

Zheng Jingfeng's eyes suddenly filled with tears.

He let out a roar that could be heard almost throughout the crypt, "Chen Lisheng! Ah? How could you!!!"

He was entrusted by his old friend to teach Chen Lisheng, no wonder Duan Wen was able to react in the first place to many of his self-developed grappling moves!

Zheng Jingfeng's heart ached and he punched the man in front of him like a madman, even though he knew that Duan Wen's consciousness was being suppressed by Duan Cuizhen, and that Duan Wen might not be able to hear it himself, he still shouted and tore at the brute regardless.

--

"Chen Lisheng, I'm your master's friend, he asked me to take you well, from today onwards, you have to follow me and learn well, I'm not giving everyone a small lesson, understand?"

On a sunny day, Zheng Jingfeng tapped Chen Lisheng on the shoulder and grinned a somewhat gangly grin at him.

Chen Lisheng : "Thank you Team Cheng, I understand."

Next to the flowerbed, Xie Ping holds a cup of hot tea and smiles.

Tears flowed all over the old Zheng gully face, how did he not expect ...... to be him!

Surprisingly, it's him!

"Left hook, yes, then right out, roundhouse kick over, it has to be fast or people will react. Come on, do it again."

It was as if the voices of those days were in his ears, mocking him, echoing like the aftermath of a nightmare.

Zheng Jingfeng's eyes were red as he attacked with punch after punch, he wouldn't allow anyone to take his opponent away from him - it had to be by his own hand that he killed him-

Left hook, right out ......

He sees Duan Wen reacting - Duan Wen has raised his arms in defense of the roundhouse kick position ......

Zheng Jingfeng's brown pupils sank, the faces of Xie Ping and Zhou Muying flashed back in front of him, he saw the starry sky of the Golden Triangle more than forty years ago, and he heard the three young men under the starry sky laughing loudly ......

Zheng Jingfeng didn't kick back, he slammed his body straight through and into Duan Wen's arm which was ready to attack, and it hurt, a lot.

The sternums all seem to be broken.

But at the same time, he saw the flash of panic in Duan Cuizhen's eyes!

It's an unexpected move on the other side ......

Zheng Jingfeng didn't give his opponent a chance to fight back, only to see the cold light of the military dagger flash, and it was about to stab into Duan Wen's heart!

Plop--

It's Li Yun!

At this critical moment, Li Yun's rebuilder came out of the siege and flew over to seize Zheng Jingfeng's dagger!

In the next second, the dagger's grip went out of control, and in the pull it stabbed Li Yun straight in the chest position ......

It's too late to withdraw.

The dagger stabbed in and instantly went straight through the dagger blade!!!!

That's ......

That was the same reaction as Xie Qingcheng s parents ...... These advanced reformed people, because they do survive a part of the thinking of the living, it is possible for them to act in the same way as the living did when they were alive.

Li Yun is instinctively protective of his classmates, his friends.

The one he thought was just Chen Lisheng.

Almost at the same moment, as a result of several people rushing and fighting, Li Yun knocked off a tall reactor stack behind him, which had an explosive warning sign on it, and at that moment the racks of the unit were swaying and looking ready to fall down because one of them had been broken.

Xie Qingcheng, who had all sorts of strong psychic abilities, was blind but more perceptive than those who could see; he reacted suddenly and shouted at Zheng Jingfeng, who was still frozen in place, "Zheng, hide away, it's going to explode!"

Zheng Jingfeng, his face dripping with hot sweat, tilted his head back and immediately returned to his senses, rolling to his feet and running in the opposite direction.

The "Duan Wen" under Li Yun's tight protection was in fact Duan Cuizhen's consciousness, and she also realized this, and began to scream to break out from under Li Yun's arm. However, Li Yun's last-minute wish to personally protect her comrade was so strong that she was unable to break free, and as she saw the reactor tilting down and about to fall, Duan Cuizhen screamed out in a loud voice.

"Let go of me! Let go of me! Let go-" The voice ended abruptly.

In the next second, Duan Wen's eyes suddenly trembled, and his own light returned to his pupils.

"BANG!!!"

As he had done more than twenty years ago, Li Yun said, "Watch out!" And with that, he stepped in front of Duan Wen, facing Chen Lisheng, with his back to the collapsing weight.

There was a violent clang.

The device tower slammed down, hitting a nearby horizontal iron pillar in the process, splitting the glass in all directions, followed by a roaring roll of fire!

The explosion really happened ......
