Chapter 218 Rewind Again
An Yuan and Wei Hongzhuo looked at each other for a long time.
"Old Wei, didn't my son come over here twice just now?" An Yuan asked uncertainly.
"I really drank too much." Wei Hongzhuo murmured, "I seemed to have a very strange sense of déjà vu just now."
"..." An Yuan looked back at the door of her house. She felt as if she was hallucinating. Xiao Zhen, who was clearly in the kitchen, suddenly appeared outside and appeared twice in a row. She asked Wei Hongzhuo: "Did you see it too? Xiao Zhen walked over twice in a row."
"I really drank too much. Drinking is really harmful to people."
The man looked like he had given up thinking.
An Yuan thought about it and walked towards the gate. She hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door of her house.
Xiao Rui was about to escape by jumping out of the kitchen window.
He came to the kitchen window and stretched out his hand to open it. However, the window did not budge. Xiao Rui thought to himself, could it be that his strength was too weak? He pushed again with all his strength, but the window still did not budge. Was it stuck?
The kitchen door was pushed open, and the family's cat walked in. It jumped onto the kitchen counter and lay down in a farmer's leisurely posture, looking at him with interest.
Xiao Rui ignored it. This neurotic, hair-shedding creature has always been in the top three of Xiao Rui's list of "Critters to Avoid in Life". As long as it lies there and doesn't get in his way, Xiao Rui continues to open the window.
The window remained motionless.
strangeness.
Xiao Rui knew his own strength as a bionic man. The strength he just used could push open not only a small window, but even a heavy wardrobe or sofa.
But the window in front of me couldn't be opened even a crack, let alone pushed open.
The cat next to him began to lick his fur.
Xiao Rui didn’t know if it was an illusion caused by a program error due to the window being pushed smoothly, but he felt that the cat seemed to sneer with disdain.
Xiao Rui looked back at the cat, which was licking its fur slowly.
I think this cat is laughing at me.
It was not wise to have a conflict with the cat at this time, so Xiao Rui turned around and continued to push the window.
This time he used his maximum power output, he would definitely be able to... definitely be able to...
The window didn't move.
This is totally illogical.
The output I just produced was enough to push down this wall.
The cat beside him laughed disdainfully again.
His built-in communicator was vibrating. Master Yin Ran was urging him anxiously: "Xiao Rui, you must leave immediately!!"
He replied truthfully to his owner: "I want to beat a cat."
"Why are you beating up the cat? Xiao Rui, you should leave immediately."
He turned off the communication and stared at the window in front of him. With his calculations and his output power, there was no way this window could not be opened. Perhaps he should take other measures. After calculating for a few seconds, Xiao Rui decided to directly use physical cutting to cut the window open. Before he started, he heard the door creak and a surprised inhalation.
The door was pushed open and a familiar-looking boy walked in.
He looked at Xiao Rui in front of him curiously. Xiao Rui also turned his head and looked back at him.
Ah, this is Yan Zhen, the boy who was unfortunately electrocuted to death. Xiao Rui is very familiar with his face. Because he has been using the boy's appearance these days. Now the two of them are standing in the kitchen, like a pair of reflections in a mirror.
"You are..." the boy began in confusion.
At this time, the door was pushed open again, and another boy walked in. His face was exactly the same as theirs, and he looked at the two in front of him blankly.
What's going on?
Before running away, Xiao Rui had already listed all possible emergencies, but the situation before him was completely beyond his ability to analyze. He could only stare at the dead boy Yan Zhen×2 in silence, and his running program was protesting against this completely unreasonable reality.
What is going on?
In the blink of an eye, he did not forget his duty, which was to perfectly play the role of the child of this family before escaping.
So Xiao Rui shouted: "Who are you? Why are there two of me!"
Yan Zhen, who was sitting opposite him, said, "I am Yan Zhen."
Another Yan Zhen said: "I am Yan Zhen."
"No, Yan Zhen is me!" Xiao Rui said, "You are all fake."
Yan Zhen on the other side said: "By definition, if I am fake, then you are also fake."
Another Yan Zhen said: "I agree."
An Yuan pushed open the kitchen door.
Yan Zhen on the other side said, "Mom."
Another Yan Zhen said, "Mom."
Xiao Rui also shouted: "Mom."
An Yuan stared silently at the three Yan Zhens in the kitchen, from left to right, and then from right to left.
Bang!
She closed the door.
Xiao Rui accused the other two Yan Zhens: "You scared my mother away."
Yan Zhen on the other side said, "Mom used to be very happy to see me, but you scared her away."
The other Yan Zhen nodded and said, "It was you who scared her away."
"No, I should say this. You scared mom away."
"You scared Mom away."
"You scared Mom away."
"No I didn't, you're fake."
"You are the fake one."
"You are the fake one."
“You’re fake!”
"It's you."
"It's you."
After this cycle repeated several times, Xiao Rui heard other people's voices in his ears.
"Okay, okay, you all pause for a moment."
If someone came in, he would have noticed it, but he didn't feel any biothermal reaction from anyone coming in. He turned his head and saw only a cat.
There is only one possibility.
Xiao Rui looked at the cat and said, "Are you from Alte?"
"You can think of it this way." The cat sat on the console, "You can end this meaningless cycle of conversation."
Xiao Rui said: "It's not a cycle, it's about recognizing each other's identities. I am Yan Zhen."
Yan Zhen on the opposite side said: "Yes, I am Yan Zhen."
Another Yan Zhen said: "Yes, I am Yan Zhen."
"It's me!"
"It's me!"
"It's me!"
"Stop it!" The cat stared at Xiao Rui and said, "Stop pretending. I know you are fake."
"What are you talking about? I'm Yan Zhen!"
"You are a special model of the IPU series III, with the ability to simulate the appearance of a living being." The cat said slowly, "I knew it since the first day you came here."
“…”
It turned out that it had known it for a long time. Xiao Rui said, "You are the one who made me unable to open the window."
"Yeah." The cat nodded happily.
Xiao Rui carefully calculated multiple ways to cut the cat in one second, but killing an Elt on this planet would only bring more trouble to the owner. He couldn't let Master Yin Ran lose his right of asylum. So Xiao Rui decided to quickly cut the window and escape from here.
"I'm from the Eye of Oversight." The cat behind him said calmly.
Xiao Rui stopped moving.
"Master, my action failed." He secretly sent a message to Yin Ran.
"What?"
“I met two Yan Zhens.”
"What?"
“I also met a cat.”
"What?"
"I was caught by the Overwatch Eye."
"goodbye."
Click. His communication was cut off. Xiao Rui could fully understand Yin Ran's behavior. The Safety Committee and the Eye of Supervision were the enemies that the master least wanted to see. In a sense, the Eye of Supervision was more terrifying than the Safety Committee. The Safety Committee might just kick Yin Ran back to Sana, but the Eye of Supervision would actually burn the master into a pool of molten lava in a physical sense.
Xiao Rui looked at the cat in front of him, and he had a feeling that any resistance or escape from this cat would be a way to his own death. What he could do now was to protect his master as much as possible and not disclose any information about his master.
The cat said, "Two of you three are fake." It nodded to Yan Zhen, motioning him to stand beside it. Yan Zhen obediently walked to the cat's side.
"Well, two impostors, tell me your purpose."
Xiao Rui remained silent. No matter what, he would not betray his master.
The other Yan Zhen also remained silent.
"Don't you want to say anything?" Mao turned around and looked at the other Yan Zhen. "I know very well that you used other fungi to imitate the mimicry. And the only way to have this kind of technology here is from Luoya's Nest or Master Kelun. Master Kelun has no reason to send a fake, so there is only one possibility, that is Duke Jill. This guy has been trying to find out about me. I can basically be sure that you are a spy sent by Duke Jill to find out about me."
The other Yan Zhen lowered his head, which was considered as his agreement.
"And you, a bionic robot." The cat looked at Xiao Rui and said, "In the past few days, I have found out your model and your owner. Your master, 'Eight-legged Spider' Yin Ran, has paid a huge amount of atonement and is under the surveillance of those rubbish in the Security Committee. Considering the huge amount of the atonement and the place where she committed the crime last time, I thought she would not want to cause any trouble. But she still caused trouble. My slime mold Yan Zhen accidentally visited your master's residence and triggered the mechanism to fall into suspended animation, and then your genius master thought of such a play. Well, it really opened my eyes."
"You know everything." Xiao Rui said, "Wait, fake death?"
"Yes, fake death."
"Then my master didn't kill anyone accidentally." Xiao Rui said, "She is innocent. So can this matter be closed?"
"Of course it's not over," the Cat said flatly.
"But your Yan Zhen is completely fine." Xiao Rui said, pointing at the slime mold Yan Zhen opposite.
"Putting my belongings in suspended animation is also an infringement of my property. Do I need to remind you of the terms your master signed when she came to this planet? She damaged the property of the Eye of Supervision, which means that the Security Committee's protection of her has expired." The cat said gloomily, "Your master is now my prisoner."
"But Yan Zhen looks really okay!" Xiao Rui wanted to resist the cat's accusations.
"If you don't want your master Yin Ran to be captured by the Eye of Supervision, then you can confess to me in exchange for Yin Ran's immunity this time."
"Confess what?"
"Tell me a secret of Yin Ran. I can consider whether to exempt you depending on the size of the secret."
"I can't do that." Xiao Rui was still struggling, "My program clearly states that I cannot betray my master."
"This is not betrayal, this is saving your master Yin Ran. Your program can calculate and understand this logic." The cat said coldly, "Also, are you a member of the Robot Rationality Association?"
"Yes."
"If you refuse to use the secret in exchange for Yin Ran's immunity, I will modify your core chip and directly allow you to join the Harmful Robot Association."
"I say!" Xiao Rui shouted.
The cat looked at him.
Xiao Rui said: "In fact, my master Yin Ran..."
"What?"
"My master Yin Ran is bald." Xiao Rui said, "She wears a wig to cover it up!"
Mr. Cat walked out of the kitchen.
Slime mold Liu Xingquan and slime mold Wei Jingjing were still sitting in the living room.
Slime mold Liu Xingquan said: "Aunt An just ran out with a pale face."
Slime mold Wei Jingjing nodded: "She was very frightened."
Slime mold Liu Xingquan glanced at the kitchen, then turned to ask Mr. Cat: "Excuse me, Yan Zhen, is he undergoing mitosis?"
Mr. Cat said: "Just pretend nothing happened."
Slime molds Liu Xingquan and Wei Jingjing nodded obediently. These two slime molds were not the problem, the problem was the three at the door.
An Yuan was standing at the gate passage with Wei Hongzhuo and his driver, with a confused look on her face, doubting about her life.
Mr. Cat thought to himself that if there were only these three people, brainwashing would not be difficult.
…
An Yuan whispered to Wei Hongzhuo: "I just saw three Xiaozhen in the kitchen. My mind is confused now."
Wei Hongzhuo's expression was completely empty. He said, "This is normal. Drinking too much will cause visual afterimages."
An Yuan said: "But I didn't drink at all."
Wei Hongzhuo sighed, "This is what happens when you drink too much. You may even hallucinate that you haven't drunk anything."
Mr. Cat strode out.
An Yuan, Wei Hongzhuo and the driver's eyes were all attracted by the cat.
It was like ripples spreading in my brain, some memories became blurred and fragmented, leaving only a few shadows. An Yuan thought vaguely, I seemed to have had a strange dream just now.
Wei Hongzhuo said: "I was really drunk and confused, and I made such a mistake."
At this time, two boys and a chicken came towards us.
Yan Zhen shouted , "Mom, I'm home."
Liu Xingquan also shouted: "Hello Aunt An, Hello Uncle Wei."
Wei Hongzhuo said: "Shit! It's rewinding again!!"
An Yuan shouted, "Here they come again! This time they copied Liu Xingquan!"
