Chapter 248: You can be alternatives

All of a sudden, the sound of shouting, gunfire, the clash of metal and metal intertwined.

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

Yu He did not hesitate for a moment, broke through the siege and ran in the direction of Cuizhen Duan, but halfway there, a man stood out in front of him.

Amidst the smoke and blood, it was Qingcheng Xie who stood in his way!

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

"The Weian Wei standing over there is not your mother." Qingcheng Xie said, "Yu He, wake up."

"Of course I know it's not my mother, but as long as Cuizhen Duan lives, sooner or later, my mother will come to life in the Dela Man universe too!" Yu He snapped, "Get out of my way!!!"

Qingcheng Xie's voice also rose: "You are being controlled! Even if the Dela Man metaverse is built, it won't be your mother who comes back to life, it's just some simulated illusory reflection, you knew that very well. Think about your past, your life is filled with events, flesh and blood, it cannot be replaced by any set of data - you are unique, and so is your mother!"

Yu He's eyes were slightly confused, and Qingcheng Xie's words seemed to have impacted again on the system of ideas that Dela Man had forcibly implanted in his mind.

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

When Jiwei He took himself fishing as a child, it was one of the few times they spent together as father and son, and although it was only one afternoon, he can still remember it.

Xue Xie 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.

Qingcheng Xie stood by the chair, put on the mask, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked into Yu He's eyes, he asked Yu He to hold out his hand, white soft gauze wrapped around Yu He's bleeding wrist one after another.

......

"If every person you meet becomes extracted data that can be recreated, if every person's life becomes data that can be uploaded and downloaded at will and edited and extended infinitely ...... the border between reality and virtual is no longer distinguishable. You will be anesthetized day after day in a world you expect to see, you think that world has all the things you lost, but the truth is that lost is lost, it is impossible to come back! The so-called Dela Man metaverse is just using human emotions to trick you into forgetting about the real people who exist and sleeping forever in a realistic dream."

Yu He : "......"

"Reality is not replaceable." Qingcheng Xie said to him, because up to this moment he had not yet fought with Yu He, so he knew clearly that Yu He could hear some of his words, Yu He's mind seemed to have been driven into the steel pillar of Dela Man, imprisoned and immobilized, but Yu He's heart was suppressed under this steel pillar.

He knew that Yu He was awake under that abyss.

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

Yu He's eyes were slightly dazed.

Sensing his hesitation, Qingcheng Xie said in a trembling voice: "Wake up ...... Yu He , I know there are many regrets in this reality, many times it will make people feel incomparable pain. You lost your mother, you lost your affection ...... you lost many things, but it is because of this loss that people will continue to grow, to learn to cherish, to understand the meaning of life for themselves. Cuizhen Duan for you to portray the kind of anyone anything can be replaced in the world, but will let you gradually intoxicated and paralyzed in the illusion, and eventually forget those most real them. Do you understand?"

"......"

"Don't listen to him!!!" Cuizhen Duan was hiding in the distance and didn't dare to get too close, but she saw that the situation was critical and shouted at Yu He, "Don't listen to what he's saying! What is irreplaceable? The so-called 'love' in this world is just a human being looking for self-identity. You seek the so-called family, friendship and love to make yourself feel happy - people live for themselves! Dela Man metaverse can let you get all you want and regain all you lost, you are the master of your own destiny, what's wrong with that?!"

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

He felt his head ache and his flesh and blood hurt like it was being torn apart.

"Yu He! Have you forgotten why you fell in love with Qingcheng Xie? You just want to find something to fill the hole in your heart, don't you?" Cuizhen Duan saw that he was still hesitating, and in a moment of desperation, he shouted, "It can be anyone, as long as they are good to you! Have you forgotten? The one you liked from the beginning was not Qingcheng Xie, he was the one you turned your attention to when you couldn't get Xue Xie!"

Qingcheng Xie : "!!!"

Xue Xie ?

Despite this situation, Qingcheng Xie was stunned.

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

It was as if a gap in the dam was suddenly opened, and then the past flowed down like a flood -

On Neverland, Yu He mistakenly thought that the fox set puppet under him was Xue Xie, and thus said those words.

Inside the hotel in Hangzhou, Yu He said he lost his love, looked him in the eyes and finally made the mistake of dropping a kiss.

The girl from the same school that Yu He used to like, whom he had never inquired about ......

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

He froze in place for a moment.

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

"......"

Yu He's brow was furrowed.

"Come here!!! He lied to you! He left you behind! You don't even have to be with him!!!" The woman's voice was sharp as a drill, stabbing Yu He in the heart!

She screamed hysterically, "No one takes you seriously! You'll just be fooled again and again! Wake up, you! Think about what he did to you! Have you forgotten all that? You just took him as a substitute for Xue Xie, but you suffered a lot from him! Think about it!!!"

Yu He's eyes were getting confused, he covered his head, as Cuizhen Duan screamed, a scene of Qingcheng Xie's former indifferent appearance flashed before his eyes -

"What does it matter to me if you're sick."

"When you die then send me a dream to inform me, and if I'm in a good mood, I might go to your grave and offer you a stick of incense. Bastard."

"Get out!"

Roll ......

Get out!!!

Qingcheng Xie's back is in front of my eyes, dragging the suitcase away without looking back ......

The scene was like sharp shards passing through the body!

Yu He shivered, as if there were countless invisible wounds blooming in his body, ten thousand arrows through the heart ......

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

"So I ...... so I ...... so I'm always looking for a replacement for all this warmth ...... "

He abruptly raised his head, pupils blood red, eyes light in which trembled.

"There is nothing that can't be replaced ...... and neither are you ...... you are nothing more than a substitute! You will always be nothing more than a substitute!!! It's 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 Cuizhen Duan, whose eyes were nearly completely empty.

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

He bellowed, the blood in his eyes became more intense, the bullets had run out, he drew his bayonet, held it in his palm, and charged straight towards Qingcheng Xie!

"Watch out!"

The nearest armed police fighter just killed a reformer, turned his head to see the situation here, immediately ran to support, and instantly fought with Yu He in the dark.

At the same time, Jingfeng Zheng also ended the fight with a bunch of hyenas, leopard eyes rounded and bellowed and approached Cuizhen Duan - this is the opportunity -!

She is lacking protection at the moment!!!

"Ahhhhh!!!" Cuizhen Duan screamed hysterically as she saw Jingfeng Zheng attacking her, dodging one of Jingfeng Zheng's attacks in haste as she ran furiously towards the main operation desk.

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

Suddenly -

Somehow, Cuizhen Duan collapsed by the pillar of the general exercise platform.

Jingfeng Zheng was stunned. Before he could stab her in the brain, she fell to the ground like a beautiful snake molting, her bleak red dress spread out behind her, her eyes wide open, unfocused, staring woodenly at the ceiling of the crypt.

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

However, these thoughts have not yet had time to take root, he suddenly felt the back of his neck cold hairs stand up, a kind of professional sixth sense instincts accumulated over the years let him fall to the ground at once! Sure enough, in the moment he fell down, he heard a loud burst, a three-meter-high glass dish in front of him was hit by a bullet, the drug reactor from behind the cracked and broken glass gushed out wildly, along with the corpse soaked in it all slid out and rushed on him.

He was sick to his stomach all of a sudden. Immediately get up from the ground.

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

The person who shot at him was actually...

Wen Duan ?

Isn't he, isn't he controlled by Qingcheng Xie?

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

As the battle raged on, Qingcheng Xie arrived at the sound of the battle and shouted a reminder to Jingfeng Zheng.

Jingfeng Zheng was so shocked that he subconsciously turned around to look at Weian Wei's torso, which had fallen to the ground.

When was she ......

He finished his thought and saw a purplish button-like instrument held in her palm!

It turns out that Cuizhen Duan's brain waves in the little boy moved to Weian Wei, she left a heart, she knew that this is a temporary movement, can not support for too long, in order to leave a way back for themselves, she in the melee when the console fixed the spare simple remote control quietly held in their palms.

Before the surgery started, Wen Duan had done another brain co-connection experiment with her because several tests were needed, so at this moment Wen Duan still has the corresponding electrical wave piece attached to the side of her neck and has not removed it. As long as both of them are still near this large operating table and are affected by the radiation wave envelope of the table, there is a chance that this can be achieved through this simple converter.

The gamble worked out for her.

Cuizhen Duan's willpower is extraordinary, this is a beast is forced into a desperate situation, the power of personal thinking is completely stimulated, become unusually dominant and fierce, so the invasion of other people's brains longer than before and more smoothly.

"Old Zheng! Hurry up!" Qingcheng Xie tried his best to suppress Cuizhen Duan with his blood compulsion, but apparently, he could hardly subdue this madman anymore ......

The situation is getting more and more chaotic, and Jingfeng Zheng is unable to shoot in this situation, so he has to grab a military dagger and pounce on it, this time aiming at Wen Duan's brain.

A clang!

At this last moment, Cuizhen Duan completely broke free from the blood compulsion, held a section of broken alloy steel pipe from the side, crossed over and blocked Jingfeng Zheng's attack!

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

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

Wen Duan stares at Jingfeng Zheng from behind a steel pipe, flashing a cold smile that belongs to Cuizhen Duan - and the two fight in a big, close combat!

In terms of close combat, Jingfeng Zheng was number one in the police academy back in the day, and although he is now old and not as strong as he used to be, he is experienced, and it is expected that Cuizhen Duan plus Wen Duan will not be his opponents.

But after a dozen moves, Jingfeng Zheng became more and more frightened, because he found that no matter how he made his moves, Wen Duan seemed to know in advance.

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

Cuizhen Duan just smiled and didn't answer.

Qingcheng Xie's heart thumped, remembering that he hadn't asked the cook to tell Jingfeng Zheng in advance about this, and immediately shouted: "Old Zheng! Don't use the fighting techniques you used to teach your apprentice! He is Lisheng Chen!"

Jingfeng Zheng : "!!!"

"Wen Duan is Lisheng Chen! Qingcheng Xie shouted during the melee, " Cuizhen Duan is in his head, she can share his memories!!!"

Jingfeng Zheng like a thunderbolt, this moment, he seems to understand everything ......

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

He is Ping Xie's disciple.

His old classmate, Ping Xie, had passed on all his experience to this young man for so many years without reservation, teaching him so carefully and instructing him so responsibly.

Because Ping Xie's own fighting ability is not optimal, he once slipped Jingfeng Zheng a packet of soft China in order to make Lisheng Chen better than blue, asking Jingfeng Zheng privately to bring him up more.

Jingfeng Zheng still remembers that afternoon when he and Ping Xie were teasing each other.

--

"You want me to lead your own disciple?"

"You wrestle better than all the others, take the cigarettes, and people are taught well."

"Who cares, he doesn't call me master."

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

"Stand still! Bring it here! Really, why are you teaching a disciple like you're teaching a son ......"

Jingfeng Zheng's eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

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

He was entrusted by an old friend to teach Lisheng Chen, so it's no wonder that Wen Duan was able to respond to many of the grappling moves that he had created himself!

Jingfeng Zheng's heart was aching like a twinge, and he was mad as hell, and he punched the man in front of him, even though he knew that Wen Duan's consciousness was suppressed by Cuizhen Duan at this moment, and that Wen Duan himself might not be able to hear him, but he still shouted angrily at the beast regardless, and tore himself apart.

--

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

On a sunny day, Jingfeng Zheng pats Lisheng Chen on the shoulder and gives him a little grin.

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

By the flower bed, Ping Xie is holding a cup of hot tea and smiling.

Tears flowed all over the old Zheng's furrowed face, how could he not expect ...... to be him!

I can't believe it's him!!!

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

The voices of the day seemed to be in his ears, mocking him, echoing like the aftershocks of a nightmare.

Jingfeng Zheng's eyes were red as he attacked with punch after punch, he would not allow anyone to take his opponent - it had to be him who killed him - with his own hands.

Left hook, right foot out ......

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

Jingfeng Zheng's brown pupils sank, the faces of Ping Xie and Muying Zhou flashed before his eyes, he saw the starry sky of The Golden Triangle more than 40 years ago, and he heard the laughter of their three young people under the starry sky ......

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

The sternum all seems to be broken.

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

It is an unexpected action on the other side ......

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

Poof -

It's Yun Li!

At this critical moment, Yun Li's transformer comes out of the corner and flies over to grab Jingfeng Zheng's dagger!

The next second, the dagger grip out of control, pulling straight to Yun Li's chest position ......

It's too late to withdraw.

The dagger pierces and instantly straightens out the dagger blade!!!

That's ......

That was the same reaction as Qingcheng Xie's parents ...... These advanced modifiers are likely to act the way living people act when they are alive because they do retain a part of the living mind.

Yun Li was instinctively protecting his classmates, his friends.

The person he thought was just Lisheng Chen.

Almost at the same time, because of several people's rushing struggle, Yun Li broke a tall reactor behind the stack, the reactor has an explosive warning sign, and at this time the device shelves because of a broken one, wobbly, looking to fall and smash down.

Qingcheng Xie body surging all kinds of strong psychic powers, although he is blind, but more perceptive than those who can see things, he suddenly reacted and shouted towards Jingfeng Zheng, who was still frozen in place: "Old Zheng, hide away, it's going to explode/explode!"

Jingfeng Zheng's face dripping with hot sweat, tilted his head to look, immediately returned to his senses, rolled up and ran in the opposite direction.

The "Wen Duan" that Yun Li was holding tightly under her body was in fact the consciousness of Cuizhen Duan, who also realized this and started to scream to get out from under Yun Li's arm. But Yun Li's last-minute desire to personally protect her comrade was too strong, and she couldn't break free at once, seeing the reaction device tilting down and about to fall down, Cuizhen Duan screamed out loud.

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

The next second, Wen Duan's eyes suddenly trembled, and the pupils had their own light again.

"BANG!!!"

Just as he did more than 20 years ago, Yun Li said, "Watch out!" And so he stood in front of Wen Duan, facing Lisheng Chen, with his back to the fallen weight.

A violent ring.

Device tower smashed down, the process hit the side of the horizontal iron column, the glass split in pieces, followed by the fire boom rolled up!

The explosion/bombing really happened ......
