Chapter 216 Gifts
After Jiang Zhu's funeral, everything returned to the right track, and all the distorted lives affected were gradually reset.
Shen Jinsu informed Jiang Juan of the results of the investigation. At present, the victims involved in the "Trench" have been properly resettled and psychologically counseled. The investigation of related cases is nearing completion, and they have minimized the losses as much as possible.
The promoters and accomplices who made bids on the dark web that contributed to this hunting game are under control or closely monitored, and the process of public prosecution is gradually advancing.
The masterminds behind the scenes, Bailishu and Ka Suo, committed suicide in fear of crime before being arrested. The accomplice Lian Xiao was also shot dead by Jiang Juan himself on the island. The rest of the party were all arrested.
Due to the large number of perpetrators, different nationalities, and great international influence, after high-level discussions, it was finally decided to hand over all these people to Interpol for disposal.
Shen Jinsu reached an agreement with ICPO, promising to hand over the members of "17" to Interpol, but at the same time, the three parties needed the host of the main control system, and hoped that ICPO would provide convenience.
The other party did not agree to this request at first, thinking that the two parties’ efforts and gains in this transaction were not equivalent. Later, under the repeated persuasion of Kyle and Xiao Shi, ICPO’s top management was willing to cooperate with the three offices to conduct in-depth research. system, Kyle and Xiao Shi led a team of scientific researchers to conduct a long-term investigation.
In order to get first-hand information, Xiao Shi started to clock in three places to go to work every day before his injury healed. Not only was he busy with work, but he also took Jiang Juan to bed early and get up early with him, which made Jiang Juan yawn every day Liantian, staring at the petri dish in Duan Jingci's office and feeling sleepy, even Song Yuzhi couldn't stand it anymore.
"Can't you just let Brother Jiang rest at home? He hasn't recovered from his illness, and his body is weak. He tosses with you like this every day. He can fall asleep after sitting down for a while. How can there be such a beastly man like you?"
"You don't understand. He was used to living an irregular life in the past. This problem must be corrected, otherwise he will always stay up late and his body will become weaker and weaker. You are also a husband, so you don't understand this truth. "
Later, when the people in the three places saw Jiang Juan, their eyes were full of sympathy, which made him always baffled.
But thanks to the two being as active as social animals, they were able to get the system's deciphering information in the first place.
Pei Qian and Li Ke, the genius program who developed "Saviour" with Mu Xueyin, were also invited to participate in this research. After cracking the system's database and reading the contents, the faces and reactions of the two were very different. It's wonderful, and one thing that comes to mind is that they may be silenced soon.
Xiao Shi was afraid that the system would store his and Jiang Juan's private photos or videos, so he rushed to snatch the hard drive where Pei Qian and Li Ke exported the data before anyone else.
Knowing why he was guilty, everyone didn't argue with him, only the two technicians involved had pale faces and decided to pack up and leave on the spot.
Xiao Shi carried Jiang Juan into the office, forced him to sit in front of the computer, and let him sit on his lap, waiting for the potentially unsightly intimate scene to make him blush, and took advantage of the good situation to have another thrill office play.
Thinking about that scene, Xiao Shi felt excited.
But when Xiao Shi clicked on the encrypted folder, he and Jiang Juan were both stunned in front of the computer, and then they moved closer to take a closer look, and then looked at each other in dismay.
Xiao Shi swallowed, "...I know why Brother Pei and Li Ke's expressions are so...unspeakable."
Jiang Juan was also shocked, "...I didn't expect Teacher Shen and Song Lu to play so...excitingly when they were young."
This saved data came from the "Ghost Domain" ten years ago. Unfortunately, the part related to the black gold prey Song Shensi was the first to be decoded by Pei Qian...
And his... ultimate buyer.
When the two of them were guilty of thieves, but couldn't control their eyes from falling on the computer screen, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"...Who?"
Originally, Xiao Shi was a little bit disappointed by the interruption, but when the other party opened his mouth, he immediately tensed up.
The person involved, Shen Jinsu, was just outside the door, with a faint smile, his voice sounded a bit gloomy, "Is it convenient for me to come in?"
The two hurriedly cleaned up the scene. Originally, Xiao Shi planned to take the hard drive back to observe carefully, but Shen Jinsu thought that asking this question was just a process, and he opened the door and walked in without waiting for their response.
Jiang Juan was even more straightforward, kicking and breaking the power cord. If it wasn't for the lack of time, Xiao Shi felt that he could still destroy the corpse.
Jiang Juan stared at Xiao Shi: "You didn't lock the door when you entered the house?"
Xiao Shi immediately raised his hands, "Baby, there is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth. I absolutely don't want to be disturbed when I do that kind of thing with you. I must lock the door! With the ability of the teacher, let alone a door, he can't stop him even if he wants to come in." stay."
Shen Jinsu didn't regard himself as an outsider, pushed the door and walked in, leaned on the sofa, his two long legs crossed, and the well-tailored suit complemented his figure with a golden ratio, he was definitely a good man enough to go on the runway, who would have seen him You have to shine your eyes.
Jiang Juan did something wrong but remained calm, and found that they were still maintaining that ambiguous posture, so he hurriedly pushed Xiao Shi away.
The latter scrambled and scrambled to follow him to sit opposite Shen Jinsu, and with a flattering smile, his guilt was fully revealed, and the level of acting skills was unreservedly shown at this time.
Shen Jinsu smiled at them, his business-like attitude did not have any extra emotion, giving people a sense of depression, "Pei Qian submitted a detailed first-version research report today, and I think it is necessary for the parties concerned to I know some secrets, so I’m here to ask your thoughts.”
Although it is a cooperative research, after all, Pei Qian and Li Ke were invited by Guoan, and the first-hand information will be passed directly to Shen Jinsu, and will not go through the hands of the ICPO partners, so no matter how close the personal relationship is, Xiao Shi is what they want. object of concealment.
Xiao Shi has no complaints about such tacit unspoken rules. For him now, as long as he can give Jiang Juan a reasonable explanation for everything he has experienced in the past, he is willing to pay any price.
"I want to know, but..." Xiao Shi gave Jiang Juan a scrupulous look, "Jian, you should avoid it for a while."
This is an unspoken agreement between them. Xiao Shi prefers not to let Jiang Juan be the first to know the truth, and then use his own method to transform the cold and blunt truth spoken by others into a soft and easy-to-accept statement and convey it to him. .
In the process of transformation, the facts may deteriorate. Xiao Shi will avoid the important and ignore the trivial, and will use flashy words to package his speech skills, and even use lies to fabricate a relatively good result for him.
Jiang Juan knew Xiao Shi's character too well, so he almost never agreed with his actions in the past, and chose to face the truth without reservation.
The result is that I bruise myself all over, but I still don't have a long memory, and I will make the same choice next time.
But this time, he nodded uncharacteristically, which surprised Xiao Shi who had no hope.
"Then I'll talk to Duan Jingci. After you finish talking, go find me over there."
There is nothing to say about the reason. Jiang Juan felt that since he and Xiao Shi had reached this point, he should respect that person's devotion to him. Besides, Xiao Shi should not have undergone too much artistic processing on this matter. Knowing the result must be infinitely close to the truth.
Jiang Juan went out alone and wandered into Duan Jingci's courtyard.
There are many talents in the three divisions, and while they have unique special abilities, they also have somewhat different eccentricities from ordinary people.
Compared with other people, Duan Jingci will not go crazy every now and then, nor has the habit of fighting, and will not cause commotion, but sometimes he likes to be in a daze, or close in his own world, compared to those big bosses who give Shen Jinsu a headache Well, it’s not 01:30, no wonder Shen Jinsu treats him as his own son, and even set up a site for him in three places, specially set up a small courtyard for him to grow flowers and plants, it is one of the most distinctive offices , the rare plants and creatures inside are enough to open a scenic spot.
When Jiang Juan stayed in the third place, he often recuperated at Duan Jingci. In addition to the treatment, the more important thing is that this place is more popular. There is no need to face the cold walls, and he is in an environment full of vitality. Jiang Juan I feel as if I have been injected with vitality into my body.
There is a stray cat picked up by Duan Jingci here. When it was first brought back, it was dirty and had only one breath left. After being rescued by Duan Jingci, it was spoiled and raised, and now it has a very bad temper.
The little thing is not a sky-high breed, it has snow-white long hair, and one blue and one yellow mandarin duck eyes, and its appearance is based on Jiang Juan's aesthetics.
Maybe it's because he knows he's good-looking and favored, he keeps his head held high wherever he goes, and doesn't shy away from anyone he sees, but he's obedient and obedient in front of Shen Jinsu and Duan Jingci, and will take the initiative to rub their trousers and call out softly There are cans of cans waiting for you with one sound.
Jiang Juan's temperament is actually not pleasing, animals are more sensitive than humans, and the cold killing aura on his body makes animals afraid to get close to him. He has been to Jiang Xun's house several times, and every time he enters the door , the big fat cat who is too lazy to move its butt will run into the room as if running away, and can no longer be found. Samo's reaction is not so strong, but he dare not approach him. He will always stick his head into the quilt, leaving only The butt sleeps in the exterior.
For so many years, he has not been close to many animals, only Lao Hei, who protected him when he was a child, and Xiao Tian, who his brother took care of, so when the cat approached him actively and rubbed his small head against his hand holding the water glass At that time, Jiang Juan was quite surprised.
Later, this cat named "Prince" became one of Jiang Juan's few friends, he missed it every day, and went to say hello every day.
This day was no exception. Jiang Juan left Xiao Shi's office and went to Duan Jingci's place. It was already lunch time when he arrived. , Seeing his body covered with deep and shallow red marks, the experienced Jiang Juan understood it all at once.
"Where did you fool around last night? Who did you sleep with?"
Duan Jingci faltered, lay down and pretended to be dead, but Jiang Juan's eyes were too poisonous, and he could feel the knife on his body with his eyes closed.
Duan Jingci gave up struggling, and simply got up and handed Jiang Juan a cup of astringent and bitter soup, so as to gag his mouth.
"Did you feel any discomfort yesterday, such as dizziness, dizziness and nausea?"
"No."
"Is there any abnormal pain in the body? Especially the bones."
"No."
Duan Jingci dutifully took notes, "Did you have sex last night?"
"..." Jiang Juan choked for a moment, "Not only last night, but also this morning."
"That's it, there have been too many times recently, I'll go and talk to your family later, this matter is enough, no one can bear it all the time." Duan Jingci poked himself with a pencil Hair, turned the book forward a few pages, "You have been on full duty this week, and you have to come here once or twice a day, so you still say that there is no abnormal pain? I don't believe it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the glass in Jiang Juan's hand cracked.
"...is that abnormal?"
Duan Jingci realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and quickly changed his words: "Seeing that you have recovered well recently, and your mental state is also good, it seems that you can use some strong medicine. Are you interested in staying with me for a few days? ?”
"what is the benefit?"
"The final stage of detoxification treatment, if you succeed, you will no longer be tortured by drugs."
Compared with the ward full of disinfectant water smell, Duan Jingci's cozy courtyard was more reassuring for Jiang Juan, so Xiao Shi packed up some belongings and moved into the third place with Jiang Juan.
After returning from the hunting ground, Jiang Juan’s condition was under control, but the situation was still not optimistic. His senses were still deteriorating, and the hearing in his left ear finally recovered. After a few days, he returned to his old state. It was more serious before, and Xiao Shi often had to speak loudly to ensure that he could hear every word clearly.
His sense of smell and taste also began to fail, and he could even eat those unpalatable meals made by Xiao Shi without changing his face, and he liked spicy and spicy food more and more, but he avoided meat, fishy and spicy food when taking the medicine, which made Jiang Tired and ascetic every day.
During the treatment, the two completely abstained from sexual intercourse. Just after taking two doses of the medicine given by Duan Jingci, Jiang Juan started to have a high fever and had to rest in bed. His consciousness was confused and it was difficult to eat. He could only rely on medicine to maintain the most basic vital signs .
Duan Jingci patiently explained to him: "One of the simplest examples is Cordyceps sinensis. Cordyceps fungus parasitizes on the corpses and sub-seats of bat moth larvae to form this traditional Chinese medicine. Fungi can parasitize on many hosts, sometimes forming symbiosis Relationship, sometimes it is control, such as periodic cicadas, sometimes the spread of fungi requires a carrier, this was also the method used by the Miao people to refine Gu, as long as they find a way to restrain this fungus, there is hope to remove the residual poison in his body."
He moved the potted plant by the bed, and inside it was a small fluorescent mushroom with a round cover and a straight stem.
Duan Jingci gently stroked the fleshy mushroom cap, "As the saying goes, there are hundreds of poisons in the world, and there must be an antidote within five steps. This kind of mushroom that grows in the Shiwanda Mountain is 'Yata'. Nemesis, but it only grows in the mountainous area where the 'Yata' is active, and it is almost impossible to cultivate it out of that environment. It took me a lot of effort to extract this sporocycin from it. Fortunately, another person's arrest solved the problem. It is urgent, otherwise it will be a bit tricky."
Xiao Shi knew that he was talking about Chi Chunwu, who was originally at large, and realized that the situation was not good after seeing Ye Chengzhi's murder, and planned to escape overseas to spend his later years in peace.
The old man let his wife become a legal person of the company in the early years. After a few years, his wife had a car accident and became a vegetable, and she no longer had the ability to bear legal responsibility. However, Chi Chunwu insisted that his wife was just paralyzed in bed and was actually still handling company affairs. , doing all kinds of evil things behind the scenes, and once the incident is revealed, all the blame can be shifted to the wife who has long been unconscious.
One of his many crimes is to purify the "jackdaw" and make it into a chemical preparation, which increases the addiction and toxicity, and makes the poison that originally only had hallucinogenic effects into a drug that destroys cell activity and the human body. The chronic poison of resistance has harmed an unknown number of people.
Originally, before the opening of the hunting ground, Chi Chunwu planned to abscond overseas in fear of crime, but the day before he was about to run away, he was threatened by Ka Suo, who was still breathing, and the old man peed his pants on the spot. Crying and shouting to surrender, begging the police to protect him.
"The only good thing he did was probably to create a greenhouse that can simulate the growth environment to cultivate sporocin, which provided me with a lot of convenience, and happened to allow me to breed improved varieties, although it was useless , but it’s good to keep watching, right?”
Xiao Shi's face was not very good-looking, "There may only be two people in this world who can grow mushrooms in flowerpots."
"Nonsense! It's so beautiful, but it still glows at night!" Duan Jingci couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice: "...Who is the other one?"
"...Jiang Er, who is so idle that his eyes turn green every day."
Duan Jingci: "..."
Duan Jingci looked down at the round and pleasing mushrooms, and stuck out his tongue, "In short, it is a good thing to be able to cure their diseases. The antagonists are already trying to be mass-produced. Those survivors who are lucky enough to survive until now He also has a chance to live a long life, as for him—"
Duan Jingci touched Jiang Juan's sweaty forehead with his fingertips, "It will get better."
"Can you tell me the truth?" Xiao Shi lowered his voice and moved closer, "How did the 'Jackdaw' form? Is it really a Gu made by you Miao people?"
"It's not us." Duan Jingci's fair and good-looking face stiffened, and he coughed twice guiltily, "...it's me."
Xiao Shi: "?"
"... Back then I was playing with mud in the mountains, and I caught 'Yata' by accident, and sealed it in a jar with a few centipedes and earthworms. I didn't expect to get a kind of powerful Gu king, and let it run out I bit someone, but Qi Wei, who was asking the old Gu doctor for a prescription in the Miao village, found out, put me in a snakeskin bag and took me away that night."
"You 'unintentionally' are a bit deliberate! Also, why is Qi Wei in the Miao Village?"
"Every nation has the myth of bringing the dead back to life. In order to recall the soul of his lover, he went to the doctor in a hurry and tried countless methods. At first, he relied on the hallucinogenic effect of 'Jackdaw' to live and dream, but later he was not satisfied with this, and happened to It is thanks to you that I obtained the top-secret technology of a certain country and created a system, and the evil effects have continued to this day.”
Duan Jingci repeatedly emphasized that the risk of the whole treatment process was very low, and he was confident that Jiang Juan's life would not be hurt, but Xiao Shi was still worried, and he lost weight along with Jiang Juan.
Fortunately, this kind of life only lasted for more than a week. On a certain evening, Jiang Juan finally woke up. Looking at Xiao Shi who was lying on his bed and taking a nap, he suddenly wanted to touch his hairy head.
He was not quite clear-headed yet, so he actually stretched out his hand to touch after thinking like this. Xiao Shi was startled, and got up in a jerk, seeing Jiang Juan finally opened his eyes, and rushed forward to kiss him.
At this point, Jiang Juan finally got rid of the drug control that lasted for more than ten years. After several hemodialysis, the poisonous components in the blood were washed away.
With his experience, Song Yuzhi also successfully detoxified through the same method, but compared with Song Yuzhi who had been exposed to the poison for a shorter period of time, Jiang Juan had more or less incurable sequelae, the most obvious of which was the body temperature. When the height rises or the heartbeat speeds up and the blood flow is too fast, the blood vessels all over his body will appear dark red. reaction.
Xiao Shichang lay on top of him, panting heavily, and said, "Your physique is too suitable for sex, let's see how hard-talking you will be in the future."
At that time, Jiang Juan could only be manipulated by him, he opened his teeth, opened his body, and gave him everything he wanted.
As Jiang Juan's body recovered, Xiao Shi also gradually told him the truth that he had learned from Shen Jinsu that day.
In fact, the system could have left Jiang Juan in the final stage, stopped all his actions before he asked for help, and brought everyone on the man-made island to their deaths. Once the self-destruct process was activated, it would be difficult for even a god to save them.
Everyone conducted in-depth research on this question, and the two main players in Guoan gave completely different answers.
Li Ke believes that this is the logic of the system itself. Although it is not possible to decipher all the codes for the time being, judging from the fact that several known hunting grounds in the past, including "Ghost Domain", have not executed the "kill" command. , it is likely that the original designer made the rule that there must be a player alive.
The system is not human, it cannot think independently like a human being, and can only execute orders mechanically. Under the circumstances at that time, the system judged that Jiang Juan's help-seeking behavior was blocked, and the entire team was likely to be wiped out. This is mutually exclusive with the underlying logic. , in order to ensure the final result of the player's survival, the system gave up preventing players including Jiang Juan from saving themselves.
The conclusion given by Pei Qian is just the opposite. He believes that even a system written in code can be infinitely close to humans as long as it is given enough rules and instructions.
He put forward a very interesting statement, that is, "theory of human nature". In the huge database of the system, the memory of almost every player who has participated in the hunting ground is stored. In human nature, there may even be multiple "personalities", and there will be fights inside.This can also be confirmed by the fact that the system once played the "emotional card" with Jiang Juan.
"To put it another way, Jiang Juan, who was dependent on a certain part of the system, decided to abandon the system just like its previous owner, Qi Wei. The system was like a homeless child, disheartened and decided to give up on himself. Broken cans."
Many technicians involved in the research felt that this was a fantasy, but they agreed with another part of Pei Qian's statement.
That is, the "trench" can become the end of the hunting game is the result of multi-party joint game, and the efforts of those victims who died in the world but whose consciousness survives in another form are indispensable. In a sense, it can be It is understood that the spirits of the victims in heaven blessed these latecomers.
"To put it bluntly, you can think that the system with Jiang Zhu's human nature let us go. In fact, it may indeed have something to do with it. It depends on how you understand...how is it, does it still hurt?"
Xiao Shi helped Jiang Juan rub his sore back after lying down for a long time, which relieved the man's discomfort a lot.
"Anyway, the existence of the system has indeed resolved part of my regrets." Jiang Juan looked out of the window with a lonely look in his eyes, "When my brother was rescued, he had no energy to speak, and he had no chance to say goodbye to me. The consciousness can communicate with me in the end precisely because of the system... what is the final plan?"
Xiao Shi shrugged, "Although the system was stolen and used by Qi Wei, the military of a certain country that developed this inhumane program in the first place is also to blame, and it is inevitable that it will be criticized for causing such a big disturbance. We don’t need to worry about it, as for national security and ICPO…”
Hearing that Xiao Shi didn't seem to intend to continue, Jiang Juan asked hurriedly, "Will the system be completely destroyed?"
Xiao Shi shook his head, "Not yet, the system still has a lot of room for research, and the cracking work of some high-end technologies will last at least two years, and the teacher is already planning to persuade Brother Pei to give up his job at the Municipal Bureau to work for him. "
Jiang Juan didn't hold back his smile, "There really are them."
It could be seen that he didn't say anything, but he felt a little bit reluctant in his heart.
No matter how unbearable the system is, it still bears his longing for his loved ones, and as long as it exists for a day, it will be his heart's concern.
Xiao Shi couldn't bear his dejection, and said again: "Don't be sad, in fact, I won a spot for you."
"What quota?"
"It's an internal test qualification. Brother Pei has been working overtime these days and developed a small tool."
Xiao Shi took out Jiang Juan's cell phone, and said softly to him, "Try to call brother like Siri."
Jiang Juan was confused, but he did as he said and called out tentatively, "...Brother?"
Immediately, a voice interface popped up on the screen, and the familiar voice reproduced only in the illusion given by the system sounded: "I am here."
It was Jiang Zhu's voice, it was absolutely true, even though there was a little mechanical stiffness, it was not as friendly as before, but Jiang Juan still recognized it.
He opened his eyes wide and silently asked Xiao Shi what was going on.
Xiao Shi said: "Brother Pei extracted Jiang Zhu's content from the system database, and tried to use artificial intelligence to keep him. I don't know if you are willing to accept this method. I think it is at least a kind of emotional sustenance... You can talk to him more than a real person, but he has your common memories of the past, which can remind you of the past you miss."
Xiao Shi was somewhat guilty, he was worried that Jiang Juan would not accept this virtual brother, so he lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and touched the tip of his nose.
Jiang Juan's eyes sparkled, and he carefully asked word by word into the microphone of the mobile phone: "Brother, what are you having for dinner tonight?"
"Dumplings, your favorite celery dumplings, let Xiao Shi make them for you."
Jiang Juan laughed with a "poof", "Can you eat the dumplings made by Xiao Shi?"
Xiao Shi was also amused, "I will practice cooking hard, give me some more time, and I will definitely make you a decent plate of dumplings."
Jiang Juan took the initiative to stick to him, leaned into his arms, and kissed him lightly.
Xiao always saw those eyes that hadn't looked at him in the past ten years, and the haze was swept away, just like back then.
"Thank you." Jiang Juan said, "I like this gift very much."
