Chapter 42

News of the massive accident within Evolution spread throughout the next day.

What happened in that skyscraper, no ordinary people can really know, and even the employees who have never participated in that night can't get any detailed information.Everyone only knows that the center was hacked twice in a row and was severely damaged later.

Fortunately, the damage to the center did not affect the normal operation of the robot, and it was repaired after a week.Although this sudden incident had a great impact on Evolution, as time went by, the storm in the city only lasted for a few days, and it was no longer a topic that people talked about.

After all, in this era where everything is too fast food, people pay the most attention to the interests of their own one-third of an acre of land, and other things are only regarded as fun, who will always think about it in their hearts.Although it will be mentioned occasionally after a long time, some people will still swear by it. It is said that many people were injured that day. The police surrounded the Evolution and carried out many wounded. There are locals and foreigners. A lot of scrapped robots...

Lucas got out of the car with a bouquet of flowers, and walked into a private nursing home in the suburbs with sunglasses on.

This nursing home is fully equipped with everything that one expects to find, and those who can live in it are celebrities who need to deal with their privacy and do not want their privacy to be exposed by the outside world.In addition to ordinary self-cultivation, it will also deal with some shady problems, such as suicide, drug use, mental problems and so on.

Walking along the winding stone road into a single building, the nurse at the front desk blushed when she saw Lucas, and greeted him politely, then registered without Lucas asking, and led him to the depths of the corridor .Obviously, that look proves that it's not the first time Lucas has been here.

Lucas stuffed the sunglasses into his coat pocket and came to stand in front of a white room.

"The patient has just been on medication and may still be resting."

The nurse explained briefly, and then opened the door.

Lucas took a deep breath and walked in. What he saw was a fairly well-arranged room, furnished like a home, with a sofa, a coffee table, a wardrobe, a refrigerator, and a simple writing desk.

And on the hospital bed in the middle of the room, lay a man who was sleeping soundly.

That man is none other than Lucas' good friend Dino.K, who has been here for more than two months.

Lucas walked into the room, threw the withered flowers in the vase into the wastebasket, then picked up the vase and walked into the bathroom.

So far, two months and a few days have passed since that day?

Lucas's nerves are a little thick, and he can't remember clearly.He only remembered that he was already lying in the hospital when he woke up, and the first thing he did when he was able to get out of bed was to come to Dino's ward and look at his unconscious friend lying in the intensive care unit through the glass. at every turn.

Later, when I heard Ken who came to visit talk about the things that were forbidden by the order that day, I realized what happened during the period when I was in a coma.When he heard that 24 couldn't fall asleep like that, Lucas blinked and looked at the ceiling, feeling sore eyes and painful pain in his heart.

No one knows the final whereabouts of 24's body.

It is said that when Fido was carried out of Evolution by ambulancemen that day, the reinforcements from country A had already arrived at the door, but it seemed that it was too late.

Later, Fido sat in the ambulance and took oxygen, and his assistant talked with the chairman of Ultimateness on the computer.

"Even so, the recovery of DT-244's body..."

"I'm sorry, father," Fido pondered for a moment, a scene of several white-clothed engineers recovering 24's body flashed before his eyes, and he remembered the man covered in injuries who fell unconscious on the ground, maybe they were all wrong...

"DT-244... exploded, nothing left..."

If they have already taken the life of someone else's loved one, then don't take away the rest.

"It's such a pity..." The chairman over there was still muttering regretfully, "It blew itself up, will the robot blew up?"

"Yes father, after all... number 244 is special."

Fido raised his head and looked at the sky, which was no longer raining, full of stars.

Hey, the people in this place are really, really weird...

Later, Dino finally woke up.

It is said that Director Vincent once heard the news and went to visit in person, but when he appeared in the ward, the man on the bed suddenly broke free from the needle stuck in his arm, and fell off the bed regardless of his newly fixed right leg, throwing himself on Vincent's body. He grabbed his collar viciously and punched him. A guy who looked half-disabled was stunned, but neither of them pulled away. His eyes were red and he repeated a sentence like crazy, "Give it back to me... Give me…"

"It's crazy!"

In the end, director Vincent walked away, leaving the crazy man injected with sedatives by several doctors.

Later, the incident happened twice again, and Dino was not very cooperative with the treatment, so he had no choice but to be sent to this special nursing home.

After coming to the nursing home, the situation did not see any improvement.

Dino has become supernatural since he regained consciousness, a little abnormal.When you are not conscious, you will either throw things around, dismantle the treatment equipment on your body and hurt yourself, or you will fall into a coma and cannot sleep.And when the consciousness is there, he doesn't cry or make troubles, and he takes medicine when he is asked to take medicine, and drinks water when he is asked to drink water. It is really the same as usual except that he basically doesn't talk.

It's just that in the dead of night, who would just sit on the hospital bed with the moonlight, staring at a chip in his hand for a whole night.Seeing the green signal source on the tracker flickering and staying next to him, a clear and pleasant voice whispered in his ear, Dino, I will always be by your side... ..

As a result, a smile like melting snow would unconsciously hang on his face, just smiling, his eyes suddenly dimmed again, the chip in his hand was almost crushed, and his palm was full of finger marks.

Lost in despair, he was still chanting, "You lied to me, you lied to me...you said you would...you lied to me...it's all my fault, I'm useless...you lied to me...you lied to me..."

The advent of what love is?

Someone asked Lucas what happened to Dino, were the rumors about him and a robot true?If it's not true, then why is he like this today?If it is true, what is the use of him today?

Lucas was stunned for a while with his mouth half-opened, thousands of thoughts flooded his mind.

What should I say about this?Should we start from the day the two first met?Or start from that one night of life and death Qi Kuo?Finally, after much deliberation, the thousands of words are still unable to start; after a long while, the words that have been piled up on the lips dissipate in the breeze, and with a single sigh, it seems that countless spring and autumn dreams have been exhausted.

Ugh......

Lucas took the water, returned to the room with the vase, and put the fresh flowers on Dino's bedside.

Then I looked at my sleeping friend full of emotion.

If he didn't rely on this semi-coercive method, among other things, I'm afraid his leg would really be useless. Could it be that he was really asked to install a mechanical leg?

Lucas sat on the sofa in a daze, and when he was about to fall asleep, Dino finally woke up slowly.

Then the first thing he said when he woke up was to call a name, then he blinked his eyes and looked around, and after slowly realizing where he was, he closed his eyes again with a dead face.

"Dino..."

Lucas couldn't bear to roll his eyes, took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, and then patted Dino's arm outside the quilt, "I'll see you again in a few days."

Dino closed his eyes and moved his lips, but in the end there was no response.

After hearing the door of the room open and close, he opened his eyes and quietly stared at the ceiling in a daze.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk to Lucas, he just simply doesn't want to see anyone.

He doesn't want to hear any comfort, that's too ridiculous, why come to comfort him?He himself didn't accept or believe in things, so why should he say something to him on his own initiative?

He also doesn't want to hear new things that are deliberately used to divert attention, that's too fake, he really doesn't have the mood to listen to other people's success.He just wants to stay by himself like this, doing nothing or thinking about it, it's best to fall asleep in the next second, and then never wake up again.

It's not that he wants to commit suicide, please don't put words like "sacrifice for love" on him for the time being.

He just wants to sleep, don't think about anything, just sleep in another world like that.

Maybe I will have a good dream, dreaming of those fine water flowing for a long time; or maybe I will have a nightmare, in which the little guy in the dream looks at him with a sad face, and stretches out an arm made of metal to touch him, but It drifted farther and farther until it disappeared into the meteor-like light beam without a trace.

But even such a nightmare is not scary at all, because it seems to be the only way to see that little liar who doesn't count again.

It's not that 24 is gone, no, he didn't disappear.

Even if everyone is swearing to tell him that 24 will not come back, he will never accept it.That's why he didn't cry all the time, a bunch of idiots, why did he cry?Because 24 will not disappear, as long as he does not accept, then this matter will not be real.

So he will never shed tears, Dino clenched the chip in his hand, he will never give in.

Because if he can't help but cry... then it really seems to represent 24 him...

So he would never let the guy who lied to him leave him with peace of mind.

Whether he came to dream by the moonlight or by the light of the stars, he would still find a way to meet him on the day when he couldn't hold on any longer.

Going to Huangquan or being poor, he will find him.

Then that day finally came.

Originally, Dino was still as usual, with a blanket on his lap, leaning against the head of the bed and staring at the end of the bed in a daze.

The door of the ward was pushed open suddenly, Lucas came in first, followed by Jimmie, the two bit their lips as if they didn't know who should speak first, and finally made a gesture of please to the door, Then a short middle-aged man walked in slowly.

"Hello, Mr. Dino, I think this is not the first time we have met, I am Cheri, ah, it is 24, and I am his father."

Dino, who was sitting on the bed, had been a little dazed, but suddenly raised his eyes when he heard this, and couldn't react for a long time, as if he didn't know how to get along with others.

Dr. D pursed his lips. Not only did he not mind in the slightest, he even said straight to the point, "Actually, my wife and I had already returned to China on the day of the accident, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late. But my wife and I both Wanted to say thank you for everything you do for Cheri."

Hearing this, Dino's eyes dimmed again instantly, he felt that he shouldn't listen anymore, he felt that he should stop them from talking now.He doesn't need to use this method, invite such people to make him accept reality, he doesn't need, he doesn't need...

"But we know that just saying thank you doesn't seem to mean much to you," Dr. D nodded to himself, and then continued, "So, I'm here this time, and I want you to take a look at this..."

As he spoke, he gestured towards the door.

Accompanied by this gesture, a figure walked in slowly, stood in front of Dino, then silently lowered his head, looking at the man on the bed, his eyes lit up instantly from the dead silence, and the expression on his face changed from a The desperate state turned into surprise, disbelief, and then it seemed like he was going to cry in the next second.

Who made Dino have such a big reaction?

The visitor looked young, about fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall, with a thin and small body, short curly black hair, and a small mouth with long eyelashes. The hanging eyes can't see what's hidden in those deep black eyes, but they still can't hide those eyes, they look really beautiful and beautiful.

"..."

Dino's lips trembled a little, he wanted to call his name, but he couldn't say anything.

He could only stretch out his hands and cautiously wanted to touch the person in front of him, but he didn't dare to act like it, for fear that all this was just a dream, once he touched him, it would be broken like a past dream, when he woke up It is still a long night, and there is no end to it.

Later, when he finally grabbed the person he had been thinking about day and night with his trembling hands, he finally couldn't bear to drag him in front of him, stroked the hair and face of the person in front of him over and over again, and looked at him carefully. She looked like she still couldn't believe that all of this was true.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

It was still the familiar voice, although the tone was still cold, but it always sounded soft and sticky, and everything seemed to be the same as before.

But when Dino heard this question, a very old man, some kind of liquid in his eyes was like a broken bead, the first one fell, and then it seemed that the gate could not be closed surging down.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dino, this is the best we can do for you," Dr. D on the side seemed apologetic, "I also considered going to your home to use your computer privately before, but It seems that someone has been... sorry..."

Dino, he has never cried in front of others since he was a child, but he doesn't seem to care whether there is anyone around him, he just sobbed uncontrollably, and then hugged 24 tightly In his arms, he kept saying, "You said you wouldn't forget me, you lied to me again...but it's okay, it's okay, you... just come back, it doesn't matter if you forget me, I, we can start all over again , Yes, start all over again, I, I can teach you from the beginning, I will teach you slowly, we can start all over again..."

But when Dino was like that, whether he was comforting himself or comforting the intelligent robot in his arms that was no longer like before, suddenly there was a little more strength in his waist, which was equal to the strength he gave, and it was not bad. Every bit of strength.

"Dino," 24 finally raised those bright eyes, with a touch of tenderness in his tone, "I haven't forgotten you..."

Dino froze for a moment, bigger teardrops fell down again, the arms holding 24 tightened, of course, the arms hugging his waist that time also tightened .

It seems that I still remember what I taught before.

It seems that this time, it is really not a lie.
