Chapter 21

Chapter 21

A lot has happened in the past few days: flying, looking for clues, drawing maps, playing stealth, rescuing people, beating bosses, destroying disgusting flesh and blood clumps, destroying the altar of evil gods... The most important thing is, Fang Yuan The information I came across at the end was really astonishing.

The outer god who originally existed only in legends finally revealed the tip of his iceberg in front of Fang Yuan.

The so-called biochemical weapons that can destroy the world actually turn out to be just a few insignificant fragments left behind by that great existence. No, they are even just derivatives of the power of these fragments.

This couldn't help but make Fang Yuan feel an absurd feeling in his heart - if the villains in this world who do anything to develop stronger and more powerful biological and chemical weapons knew that what they were pursuing was actually something that fell from a certain being, What kind of expression would a thing worse than dandruff have? Of course, what makes Fang Yuan feel particularly heavy is another seemingly unrelated matter - What is the Gate of Truth that can swallow up the information and essence contained in these outer god fragments? ! The door of truth/the door of the silver key; the gatekeeper/the master of the door; the being who controls all the truths in the world/the omniscient and omnipotent Lord of the Eternal Eternal Life; one is all, and all is one/the one who creates all things, and all things return to one... So It was an obvious reminder that although Fang Yuan had already vaguely guessed, when he actually confirmed the matter, he still felt a shiver from the bottom of his heart.

What deal did he make with such a great being? And what purpose does that great being want to achieve through himself? ……But confusion and fear did not bother Fang Yuan for too long.

After all, he is still an alchemist, and staying rational at all times can be said to be a basic skill.

After realizing that he couldn't know more or do anything, Fang Yuan gave up thinking in this area.

If you have this time for random thoughts, you might as well continue to delve into your own alchemy, at least think of a way to get a lot of tolls! Fortunately, the harvest this time is not all bad news.

At least, Fang Yuan knew that besides souls, there were other things that could serve as tolls.

Yes, they are the two fragments of the Outer God that were previously swallowed by the Gate of Truth. Although they are insignificant fragments that fell from the Outer God's body, they are part of the Outer God after all, and the power contained in them exceeds that of the human soul. There are countless refined Philosopher's Stones.

Although he didn't know how the Gate of Truth calculated the "equivalence" of equivalent exchange, Fang Yuan knew instinctively that more than 99% of the travel expenses he originally needed to go home were directly exempted! It can be said that if the fragment of the Outer God he came into contact with could be larger, it would be very possible for him to directly collect all the travel expenses home! Now, he only needs to collect enough Philosopher's Stone for 30,000 people to pass through the Gate of Truth and return to his original world! Thirty thousand people, although this number seems quite large, in this world... it doesn't seem to be a very difficult thing! ')074'\u003eChapter 74 Someone wants to cause trouble again!

"Wesker is dead!" A voice said in the video communication without a picture.

"What happened?" Another voice came from the darkness. Although it was a question, its tone was full of indifference.

"Alice from B.S.A.A. was the only one who knew about it, but she refused to say anything.

But we can already confirm that someone is involved! " "who? ""A man who possesses some kind of supernatural power and is suspected to be an evolved form after being infected by a virus. He has appeared in Raccoon City, in Africa, in Spain, and in every place that has a huge connection with the T-series project. There is also something behind the collapse of Umbrella. This man's push - the one-eyed masked killer - is one of his identities. "

"Do you know the other party's true identity?" "Although he has been disguised very well and changed his identity and costume every time he acted, we started from his friends and found some clues."

"Can you lock him?" "It's very close!" "Then, capture him!" "Sir, the design drawings of version 2.0 of the Bionic Armor have been completed, do you need to show them?" A one that sounds a bit mechanical The sound appeared in the empty laboratory, but there was no one here except Fang Yuan.

"Show me... In addition, AI, you seem to be getting more and more intelligent. Do you want me to give you a name?" Fang Yuan looked at the design drawings projected into his retina while talking to his AI. Chatting.

Yes, the person who just spoke was the artificial intelligence that Fang Yuan had previously created using a mutated version of the Philosopher's Stone. After a period of learning, growth and self-optimization, although it did not seem to have self-awareness, it was still in the form of communication. It's already very user-friendly.

"A name...if you wish."

The AI's tone was still calm, and Fang Yuan couldn't tell whether it really wanted to have a name or whether it was just following his master's opinion.

But this level is actually just right. If he were smarter and really developed self-awareness, Fang Yuan would not know what to do.

"So, let me think about it... Jarvis, Friday, Ultron, Grid, Fire Queen, White Queen, Skynet, Genesis, Wiki, R2-D2, C-3PO, BB-8, Cortana, Alpha Dog, David, Ava...Which one of these names do you like? "Well, when Fang Yuan, who is incompetent at naming, thought of the names of artificial intelligence, these were the ones that popped into his head, but he didn't seem to notice that there were so many names in the list. It seems that half of the masters are not good artificial intelligence... "Artificial intelligence named Flame Queen and White Queen have appeared in the current world. According to the identity difference definition of 'name', these two names cannot be used."

The AI ​​that had not yet received its own name corrected Fang Yuan's mistakes seriously. During the period after it was created, it had noticed traces of the other two artificial intelligences through the Internet more than once, and even knew about them. name.

"...Okay, I really need to give you a unique name..." Although he knew that this AI did not mean to accuse him, Fang Yuan still reflected for a moment and decided that he should be cautious about the name - if he travels through time again in the future Traveling to other worlds, and then coming into contact with the artificial intelligences mentioned above, only to have my own artificial intelligence bear someone else's name... isn't this embarrassing! "...Let me think about it, let me think about it..." Fang Yuan rubbed his temples with a headache. He really wasn't good at naming names... "How about... let me call you [Ether]!" Fang Yuan After thinking about it, I decided to give it this name.

It just so happens that the ontology that makes up this AI is the Philosopher's Stone constructed from countless human souls. The Philosopher's Stone is also known as the "fifth element" in traditional Western alchemy, and the ancient Greek philosopher Aris Dodd once guessed that in addition to water, fire, air, and earth, there is also an ether located in the upper layer of the sky, which is also called the fifth element by some people.

"Yes, from now on, I am [Ether]!" AI, no, it should be called [Ether] at this time, officially accepted its new name.

... Two months later - "Sir, I received an encrypted email without a signed sender, but by tracing the source, it was confirmed that the sender was Ms. Jill Valentine."

The voice of [Ether] rang in Fang Yuan's ears, bringing him back to his senses from his highly focused research.

"What's going on? Show me the email -" Putting on special glasses, a light curtain opened in front of him.

Clicking on the email that had been decrypted, Fang Yuan saw the content: [Fang, be careful! Someone is investigating you! 】 It was such a short sentence. Although there was no signature, Fang Yuan could imagine Jill's worry and urgency when sending this email.

His face became serious.

"It seems that some people think that they live too long!" He knew that if Jill could send such a warning, the other party would definitely not investigate him out of goodwill.

Where did you learn about your abilities? Or perhaps he is aware of the relationship between the identity of Deathstroke and himself? …… Just as Fang Yuan was thinking about what went wrong, suddenly, the door rang.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! "Who is it?" "It's me, James!" James is the name of Fang Yuan's landlord.

"What's the matter?" "Uh--the residents downstairs complained that your pipes are leaking. I asked a plumber to come and take a look!" "Okay, just wait a moment, we'll be here soon!" Although he was answering the words, Fang Yuan had already put on the armor quietly - the mental scan had allowed Fang Yuan to see the scene outside the door. The people following the landlord were not plumbers at all, but a group of heavily armed people. soldiers! "Hurry up!" James urged, showing great impatience.

"Wait a minute, let me put on a coat first!" As he said this, Fang Yuan turned on the mental scanner to the maximum.

Sure enough, in addition to the group of people outside the door, there were at least a dozen armed men in the staircase corridor. There were four soldiers on the roof ready to rappel at any time. Every entrance and exit of the building had been blocked. Downstairs There was also a camouflaged van with three or four guys in suits and ties who looked like commanders.

Further away, several rooms across the street had been occupied by snipers at some point, and they all pointed their guns at the room where he was. Fortunately, he had always had the habit of closing the curtains, and the snipers were separated from him. Nothing can be seen through the curtains.

These people move really fast! Fang Yuan did not expect that just after receiving Jill's warning, the group of people had already started to take action.

And he actually didn't notice these people's movements at all before - it seems that a long period of daily life has reduced his alertness a lot! "[Ether], record my order. In the future, the reconnaissance scanning system must be turned on around the clock. You must not be aware of it until someone touches the door like this time!" "Understood, the daily tasks have been updated, and the reconnaissance system is turned on 24 hours a day."

"Very good! Then, let's have some fun!" As he said this, Fang Yuan's eyes covered under the mask flashed with azure brilliance.

Now that he has been blocked at the door, he naturally has nothing to worry about - do you want to make a big fuss? Then let me make a bigger fuss! ')075'\u003eChapter 75 The Femme Woman

Boom! 　　Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom! 　　Dozens of explosions suddenly sounded in the originally peaceful and tranquil streets.

Huge flames sprang up from the buildings on both sides of the street, and countless shattered glass bricks and stones rained down on the street below, injuring many pedestrians and vehicles.

"Ahhhhh!!!" 　　Screams broke out, and pedestrians were startled by the sudden explosion. They immediately ran in all directions in panic. The chaotic crowd affected the traffic, and several accidents occurred in succession, followed by a larger scale of panic and chaos. It was seen that a huge riot was about to happen.

However, no one cared about these at this time - literally no one.

Because they were all dead.

The explosives launched from the human body with mental power could not be alive after the detonation.

Including those soldiers, those snipers, and those commanders, all received lunch in this instant of attack.

Trample, tramp, tramp... When the figure in black armor walked out from behind the door step by step, James, who was affected by the explosion of the human body next to him but was lucky enough not to die immediately, choked and tried to beg for mercy: "Ahem...F...Fang...I...I was...forced...Don't...Don't kill me...Don't kill me..." He even cried.

Watching this bald man in his forties crying and begging for mercy, the black figure seemed indifferent, but Fang Yuan, hiding behind the mask, sighed secretly - this sentence was really unconvincing.

Fang Yuan knew that in the United States, such actions of arresting criminals in rental houses would basically not let the landlord show up. The police agents who adhered to the simple and rough style of the great United States would only kick the door open, use a door-breaking hammer, or directly use C4.

Since James appeared here, it means that he took the initiative to agree to cooperate.

"James, stop talking.

I won't kill you, but I won't save you either! - Cherish the last few minutes you have left!" He knew that this man was dead. The broken bones produced by the human body explosion pierced his aorta. In five minutes at most, this man named James would die of systemic organ failure caused by excessive blood loss.

"No...save...save me...save me..." James murmured desperately, his voice getting weaker and weaker, but no one would respond to him.

... "James, I thought you were a good guy..." He sighed with some regret, mourning the death of an acquaintance for a few seconds, and then Fang Yuan put this pathetic man who dared to participate in the murder of him behind his mind.

Now let's see who dared to touch his tiger whiskers! Walking through the corridors and halls full of corpses and flesh, and going down to the lobby on the first floor that was also stained with blood and flesh, Fang Yuan looked around, secretly apologized to the other tenants of the building, and then walked to the street in a super sci-fi armor.

Ignoring the panicking crowd around him, Fang Yuan walked directly to a white van across the street, opened the door, and saw several bodies lying on the ground inside.

In order not to destroy the clues, Fang Yuan specially lowered the explosive equivalent in the bodies of the people in the car. Therefore, although they were also killed by the explosion, they did not die as spectacularly as the soldiers upstairs. Except for some splattered blood, they did not cause much damage to the surroundings.

As for why he did not leave one or two alive for interrogation - that was because he did not need it at all! 　　Fang Yuan reached out and grabbed the head of a dead person who seemed to have the highest status, and a trace of electric arc flashed in his hand - he was recording and copying the neuronal signals remaining in the brain of this person after death.

To be precise, it was [Ether] that was copying and recording this information. It surpassed the computing power of most supercomputers in the world, and could independently perform all the alchemy that Fang Yuan knew. This operation was not a difficult task for it.

After copying all the neuronal signals of the deceased, [Ether] can use its superior intelligence and computing power to analyze all the memories of this person before his death.

Some people may ask, why not just use the Philosopher's Stone to refine and intercept their souls? 　　Wouldn't it be possible to interrogate more accurate information in that way? 　　But the problem is that Fang Yuan is just an alchemist who can refine souls, not a necromancer who specializes in torturing souls! 　　He can intercept people's souls, but he wants to interrogate something from these souls...Sorry, he can't do it! 　　You know, he still has some ordinary Philosopher's Stones, but until now, he can't even communicate calmly with the souls in the stones.

Interrogate? How to interrogate? 　　He has no way to torture souls, so he can only watch these souls trapped in the Philosopher's Stone become crazy ghosts.

So it would be better to just use pure physical means, starting from the brain's neuron signals, and directly crack the "hardware" to get the information he wants.

As for the lost souls of the few people who died - it doesn't matter, there are too many damn people in this world. Just go to the Middle East twice and earn back ten times or a hundred times! "Sir, the target memory has been analyzed. Do you need me to play it back?" [Ether]'s report came to his ears. In just a few minutes, his artificial intelligence had already finished interpreting the memory.

"No need, search for the superior contact person in this person's memory. I need the other person's name, identity, appearance and address!" Fang Yuan did not intend to read a man's memory in person, he only needed to know what he wanted to know s things.

"Understood - the search is completed, Ixela Gioni, female, president of Sanlian Pharmaceutical Company, and one of the people behind B.S.A.A."

Along with the searched information, Fang Yuan also saw the appearance of the mastermind behind the scenes - she was a very sexy beauty with a curvy figure. Perhaps it was because of the subjective beautification in the memory of the deceased, or perhaps she was really that beautiful in person. , in short, it is a peerless beauty that reminds people of a bed at a glance.

In the picture recalled from the memory of the deceased, this woman was giving orders to her subordinates - the deceased - with a superior and arrogant attitude, asking him to kill the target person - Fang Yuan - alive within one day. Bring it to her.

Looking at the beautiful woman in the picture who was wearing a white backless tight dress and whose whole body was filled with a noble temperament, but there was a hint of indifference and cruelty to life in the corners of her eyes, Fang Yuan recognized her at a glance. It is the female villain who was obsessed with Wesker in the plot of the fifth generation of Resident Evil game.

This is another femme fatale woman! ')076'\u003eChapter 76 The alarmed national power

"Where is she?" Fang Yuan asked.

"There is no relevant information in the memory of the deceased."

[Ether] replied.

"Well, it looks like I have to find it myself... Where is the headquarters of Sanlian Pharmaceutical?" "In..." After learning the destination, Fang Yuan did not stay here any longer, and directly jumped into the sky on the street, a He accelerated and flew high into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

And all of this was completely captured by the traffic cameras on the street! ……An hour later, the White House.

"So, a future warrior appeared on the streets of our country and then flew away in front of the entire street. Is this what you want me to see?" The current president pressed the pause button on the remote control in his hand. , the picture on the TV screen on the other side was frozen in the scene of Fang Yuan, wearing black armor, rising into the air.

"Yes, Mr. President.

This unidentified super soldier not only killed dozens of people single-handedly, but also blew up two buildings and injured dozens of passers-by..." A staff member added to explain the situation at the scene.

"Wait, dozens of people were killed? Were the deceased civilians?" Mr. President's face darkened.

If it is true, then this is a very serious terrorist attack.

"No, uh - it's..." The staff hesitated a little.

"What is it?" "Uh, it's the private security force of the Sanlian Group..." the staff member said softly.

"That triple link?" "Yes, that triple link."

"Fxck! These people from the Pharmaceutical Federation are always so restless!" Although the president himself was held the position of president by these large conglomerates, when he actually became president, he was always concerned about these things in his own country. I am so tired of the big monopoly conglomerates that are causing trouble.

A few years ago, there was the Raccoon City incident, which brought down a president and the government. Now he is jumping out to cause trouble. Do you want to kick him out of the position of president? ! As for the president's foul language, everyone, including this staff member, just pretended not to hear it.

There are things that the president can say, and they, the people, only need to listen and do not need to express their opinions.

"So, what should we do about this flying future warrior?" After scolding the Global Pharmaceutical Federation, Mr. President turned to talk about Fang Yuan, who had made a big fuss.

"We should be looking for him nationwide, no, globally! This is a terrorist who has caused dozens of casualties. He cannot be allowed to wander outside!" A senior staff member suggested.

"But how to do it? Our former wanted criminals can't fly!" The director of the FBI was also summoned to participate in this meeting. Although he was also very greedy for the secrets of this future soldier, especially the one that looked super advanced and only It's a battle armor that can be seen in science fiction movies, but the problem is, how do they catch a flying enemy? "Can our radar target this terrorist?" Well, the president's terminology has changed from future warrior to terrorist. It seems that he also very much agrees with the capture of Fang Yuan.

"Sorry, the air defense force responded that the radar did not detect any signals."

One of the staff put down the phone.

"Perhaps we can use roadside cameras? We can lock the opponent's position when he lands..." Another staff member made a suggestion.

"This is difficult. After all, the other party is not a fool. As long as he lands on the roof of a tall building and takes off his armor, no one can find him! We don't know the true identity of this person at all!" The FBI director knows this country very well. The strengths and weaknesses of camera surveillance networks, and don’t hold out much hope.

"Uh - we actually know his true identity!" It was the staff member who first spoke and asked for Fang Yuan's arrest. He opened the laptop at hand and clicked on an email that had just been sent, and an identity card appeared on it. File, there is also a photo in it - it is the headshot of Fang Yuan in this world before he lost weight.

"...You told me that this fat pig is the super soldier in the video?" The president looked at the staff member with an evil look, and the dirty word "fat pig" instantly turned into a sharp arrow, stabbing more than half of the people present. Human Hearts - They are all overweight people, technically speaking, they are also part of the "fat pigs" in the president's words.

"Ahem! This is indeed the true identity of this person, and it is the result of the investigation by Sanlian Group."

The staff member told the truth.

"Another Sanlian?" The president frowned a little. This efficiency was actually higher than that of government departments. These large consortiums are really too big to lose... "Yes, this person's real name is Louis Fang, who later called himself Fang Yuan. The Chinese man was originally a citizen of Raccoon City..." "Raccoon City?" "Which Raccoon City?" "Who else..." "A survivor of that city?" Everyone started talking after hearing the news. stand up.

"Quiet!" The president asked everyone to quiet down. "..." "Continue!" He motioned to the staff to continue.

"Yes... Sanlian Company believes that this person may have been infected by a biological weapon during the Raccoon City incident and suffered physical mutations, which is why the appearance and figure changed."

"Are you saying that biological weapons also have the effect of weight loss and beauty?" Someone asked in a joking tone.

"...Maybe?" The staff member shrugged and spread his hands.

“Okay, we already know why Sanlian got into trouble with this guy.

So, the next step is to catch him! Just as I said before, he is wanted globally as a terrorist, and then, show me his current photo! How is it possible to find someone with this fat pig look! "...But, it seems that he has not been photographed from the front since the Raccoon City incident..." "Then find me acquaintances, find witnesses, and draw a portrait!" " "yes! I'll make arrangements right away! "At this time, another staff member who had just answered a phone call brought everyone surprising news.

"Gentlemen, it seems that we don't need to look for him - he appears again!" "What? Appeared again? Where? What did he do again?" the president asked eagerly.

"He... just fell from the sky and appeared at Sanlian Pharmaceutical's headquarters, then knocked down all the guards and entered through the main entrance..." "..." "..." "..." Everyone was silent when they heard the news. .

"Fxck! Send SWAT immediately, send the National Guard, send the army, and catch this guy!" The senior staff member who was most active in arresting Fang Yuan immediately jumped up.

"..." "..." "..." Everyone looked at him, as if wondering why he was so active.

‘Looks like I’ll have to fire this guy later, he’s another bastard who cheats and cheats! ' Mr. President cursed so fiercely deep in his heart, but after a moment of silence, he still said: "Let the radar of the Homeland Defense Air Force be fully turned on and keep an eye on the sky above this area. The missiles and aircraft must be in place. , be ready to take him down at any time! Forget about dispatching the local SWAT troops and the National Guard, this movement is too big..."')077'\u003eChapter 77 The mob

"Did you run to India..." He let go of the head in his hand, and with a bang, another dead body with eyes open fell to the ground.

This is already the highest-ranking executive in the headquarters of Sanlian Pharmaceutical, and he finally learned the whereabouts of the femme fatale from his head.

The defense system of the Sanlian Pharmaceutical headquarters was unexpectedly weak. Fang Yuan fought his way in from the main entrance and encountered almost no decent resistance. Although the security guards were equipped with guns, they were all semi-automatic guns and the number of them was small. They were not at all like This is the level of security that a large multinational monopoly company should have.
