Chapter 131 Kaleidoscope
Arasaka Tower, 33 floors.
Sasha stared out the window blankly.
stunned.
just.
The two stood in front of the panoramic glass window.
Tang Yu asked her if she wanted to watch the fireworks.
She said yes.
then.
Following the direction Tang Yu pointed, she saw a flash of lightning lighting up the building.
It was the building of the biotechnology company, and a strong electric current ran through the entire building from the base to the sky, and finally burst into a bright firework.
This is what Tang Yu said about the fireworks, the fireworks prepared for her.
Suddenly.
Sasha's pupils shrank suddenly, and the bright fireworks seemed to pull her into another world, a world of colorful kaleidoscope mirrors.
vaguely.
Countless flying scenes appeared in front of my eyes like magic bubbles, full of brilliance.
High-rise buildings, explosions, fireworks, biotechnology.
The world of blue eyes and pink pupils is constantly changing, it seems to be looking at flowers in the fog, colorful and bright.
this moment.
Sasha seemed to see more.
Those obviously strange, but extremely familiar bubble scenes.
Like a dream.
Infancy, mom, ward, painkillers, biotech.
Gradually.
A mist appeared in front of Sasha's eyes, as if the brilliance had fascinated the eyes, and the deepest memory in her mind emerged in the colorful world.
She seemed to observe a life through a kaleidoscope, a life of her own.
"Mother."
Sasha saw his mother, lying in the cold ward, with the bottle of painkillers on the table next to her.
She felt lonely and helpless, and felt that her mother was walking away from her step by step.
She tried to grab her mother's hand, but there was nothing to grab, nothing to do.
Sasha froze on the spot at a loss, not knowing why her mother was lying on the hospital bed, closed her eyes forever, and no longer smiled at her.
She suddenly lowered her head and found a kaleidoscope mirror on her hands, which was her favorite gift from her mother.
She likes to see the world through a kaleidoscope, which is very beautiful and beautiful.
She prefers to look at her mother through the kaleidoscope mirror, and sees the bright light surrounding her, and her smile is as bright as an angel.
Sasha looked down at the kaleidoscope mirror lying quietly in her palm, maybe her mother was waiting for her in a place full of light and brilliance.
She slowly picked up the kaleidoscope mirror, put it in front of her eyes, and looked at her mother through the colorful mirror screen.
Yes.
She saw her mother's smile, still as gentle as before, and her mother raised her hand to gently stroke the top of her hair.
But when Sasha put down the kaleidoscope mirror and wanted to run to his mother happily, there was only the cold ward that had lost its temperature, and little Sasha standing alone in the same place.
She knew that she had grown up.
In a trance.
Sasha found himself wandering the neon streets at night, past steel girder bridges and rows of fluorescent billboards.
It was late at night, and Sasha couldn't help yawning, and finally came to the biotechnology building.
She sneaked into the company building, reached the high-level office, hacked into the office system, and was still chewing red bubble gum.
Just as Sasha was about to evacuate, he accidentally discovered something familiar.
painkiller.
Scenes from her childhood emerged, making it impossible for her to look away.
this moment.
She chose to open Pandora's Box and checked the insider files of the painkiller.
Sasha learned the truth about his mother's death, and instantly understood his inner choice.
When I was young, I was still waiting somewhere in my heart, watching all this with a kaleidoscope mirror.
Sasha resolutely decided to upload this information to News 54.
She wanted to expose this information, and wanted to have her mother's grievances avenged.
She believes that News 54 will appeal for her mother, after all, her mother once fought for the country.
With firm belief, Sasha chose to stay in the office of the Biotechnology Building, ready to meet the coming enemies.
But the Kang Tao battle robots that came one after another began to launch a fierce attack.
finally.
Sasha completed the data transmission, but he was forced to detonate the explosives and fell from a high altitude.
It's all over.
that moment.
She fulfilled her childhood wish.
Suddenly.
Sasha felt a warm palm gently resting on her head.
She came back to realize that she was standing in front of the panoramic glass window, looking at the extinguished biotechnology building.
I don't know when, the tears have already wet the eye sockets, overflowing the corners of the eyes.
Her gaze gradually focused on the front of her body, on the warm palm.
It's Tang Yu.
Sasha just looked at him stupidly.
She seemed to see Tang Yu through a kaleidoscope mirror, and her whole body seemed to be surrounded by brilliance.
His smile is so warm, so reassuring.
suddenly.
Sasha understood everything.
I understand the meaning of fireworks, I understand the meaning of the concert, and I understand everything Tang Yu has done.
"Don't cry, the rest is up to me."
Seeing Tang Yu touching her cat's head, Sasha comforted herself lightly, and she couldn't help but shed crystal tears.
She smiled.
After the fireworks.
Tang Yu saw Sasha standing there in a daze, crying unconsciously, and knew that she must have remembered something.
Perhaps the emotions of the original consciousness affected her, or Sasha saw the memory of the original consciousness.
The two souls who were originally similar had some meaningful interaction.
A word from Tang Yu.
Sasha stopped crying.
Tang Yu saw that she was so well-behaved, and knew that Sasha was still the same Sasha, so he asked softly, "Is your head uncomfortable?"
Generally, when this kind of memory fusion occurs, Sasha will have obvious headaches and need to take drugs that inhibit brain activity in time.
Sasha shook her head slightly.
She knew that every time these strange but familiar scenes appeared in her mind, she would feel a headache.
But this time, she didn't feel strange.
The pictures that suddenly popped up in her mind seemed to have been hidden in the depths of her memory for a long time, and she didn't recall them until today.
It's like walking on the beach and picking up a shell, simple and simple.
"Sasha doesn't have a headache."
"It just reminded me of some things, with some more familiar and unfamiliar memories."
"Sasha doesn't understand, but those memories are so real."
Obviously, Sasha in front of Tang Yu did not undergo any brain changes, and her original consciousness was still asleep.
But what happened to the memory that popped up suddenly?
Could it be that the original consciousness took the initiative to transition and melted part of the memory into the current Sasha.
Seeing that Sasha's mood has not calmed down, these questions can only be considered later.
Sasha looked at Tang Yu seriously, as if mustering up his courage, he murmured.
"Mr. Tang, Sasha would like to thank you."
Tang Yu didn't know for a while, which Sasha she was talking about, but he didn't say much, but raised his hand again and touched her cat's head.
in fact.
Regardless of whether Sasha understands the meaning behind it or not, he will go to Kerry to hold a concert and plan to launch this riot.
Because everyone needs a fire to light the torch in their hearts.
Kerry, who has been silent for a long time, needs this fire to rekindle his passion for rock and roll, break through his inner depression, and present a hearty rock concert, declaring to the world that Samurai Band will never die.
Mann, who has been bound for a long time, needs this fire to reconcile with his past self.
He has been trapped in fear, afraid of losing his best friend, afraid of losing people around him.
He tries to protect everyone around him by becoming strong enough.
Now, the fire told him that Sasha's choice does not need to be borne by him.
same.
Everyone who has seen the crime of biotechnology needs this fire to dispel the haze in their hearts.
Tang Yu just didn't expect that Sasha would gain part of the memory, part of the memory from the original consciousness.
He suddenly realized that this might not be a good thing for Sasha now.
Sasha gradually accepts the memory of the fusion of original consciousness. From another perspective, does it mean that her current ontological consciousness is being overwritten.
Just like the relic biochip, it will forcibly cover the original owner's consciousness over time.
In this special situation, Tang Yu could not give a very accurate judgment, and could only make two judgments.
The first is that the original consciousness is being fused and covered. When the brain is repaired, the current "Sasha" consciousness will no longer exist, and the body and soul will once again complete the unity.
The second is that Sasha has absorbed part of the memory fragments of the original consciousness, and the memory is absorbed, which is generally produced by some kind of stimulation, and does not affect Sasha's current consciousness.
Or.
The second is more like the original consciousness actively "gifting" the memory to the current Sasha, allowing her to regain the memory of human beings, thus helping her to improve her own emotions.
No matter which of the above situations, the future Sasha also has a part of the past, and will live more like himself.
Tang Yu still needed to know how much memory Sasha had absorbed, so he asked, "Sasha, do you remember who Rebecca is?"
Rebecca?
Sasha searched hard in her mind, trying to find the sporadic memories about Rebecca.
After a while.
Sasha shook her head in disappointment, apparently she still didn't know who Rebecca was.
"Sasha doesn't remember Rebecca. Rebecca should be Sasha's very good friend."
"She was really surprised and happy when she saw Sasha, but Sasha couldn't remember it at all."
As Sasha said, there was a flash of apology in his eyes, as if he felt distressed and guilty because he couldn't remember who the other party was.
These emotional manifestations prove that Sasha's own emotions have gradually sprouted.
Until now, Sasha didn't know that there was another original consciousness in his mind, and he didn't understand why he lost his memory. He really thought that he was 'Sasha'.
Tang Yu felt that it was best for her to be so ignorant.
Whoever suddenly finds out that he is not himself, but a conscious body occupying someone else's body, will probably fall into strong self-doubt.
Tang Yu gently touched her cat's head, and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, because Sasha once had a serious illness and couldn't remember many things. This is normal."
"But the disease will get better gradually, so that Sasha can remember the past."
When Sasha heard this, he immediately raised his head to look at him, nodded earnestly and said, "Well, Sasha's illness will definitely recover, and then he will remember everything."
She has always believed in Tang Yu's words, and her knots were immediately resolved, and her eyes returned to the clarity and brilliance of the past.
Tang Yu looked at the pure-minded Sasha in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If there is a day when she wakes up, will she still be like this today?
Today's Sasha is like living in a bubble, pure and beautiful, yet so easy to burst and dissipate.
Besides.
Sasha has memories, a past, and secrets at the same time.
This secret will bring her danger, and this danger comes from Arasaka.
The various changes and visions of the consciousness body are closely related to Arasaka's relic development experiment.
Tang Yu can't completely rule out the potential danger in this area. If Michiko or Arasaka's relevant R&D executives know about this, it may bring disaster to Sasha.
Once detected, it is very likely that they will be in danger, and the same encounter as Alt Cunningham will happen.
Except for Tang Yu, no one can know what Sasha learned from memory, and she must learn to keep the secret.
Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "Sasha, activate the highest user authority."
Sasha immediately complied with the instruction, the aperture of the prosthetic eye rotated, and the highest authority mode was activated.
Tang Yu then opened her storage area settings, encrypted and locked some related memory caches such as biotechnology, painkillers, and mothers, and added a destruction prevention program.
After setting.
Only Tang Yu can read this part of the memory, even if someone hacks into Sasha's database, they cannot access this part of the content.
If this part of key content is forcibly hacked, the memory cache will be automatically destroyed, and Sasha will automatically lose this part of memory.
After turning off the highest authority mode, Tang Yu seriously told her: "Sasha, don't talk about your memory in front of anyone, even me, understand?"
Sasha blinked his blue eyes. Although he didn't understand, he nodded obediently and said, "Sasha remembered it, and will not mention anything about memory to anyone."
After dealing with Sasha's memory, Tang Yu turned his attention back to the company square.
The riots continued, but were gradually coming to an end.
Kerry's concert officially ended, and he boarded the floating vehicle under the escort of bodyguards and left safely.
On the stage of the concert, there were scattered people lying scattered. They were so drunk that they fell to the ground and were still struggling and shouting.
The open fire on the street of the company square has been initially controlled, and only sporadic fires are left burning.
After the initial enthusiasm of the crowd faded, the momentum also lost a bit.
Biotechnology began to mobilize more security robots, armed with stun guns, soft rubber bullet guns and other weapons, and threw smoke bombs to drive away the rioting crowd.
Many people poured into the building of the biotechnology company, and after wreaking havoc, they began to flee the scene one after another.
Some of them hold electronic screens in their arms, some hold prototypes in their hands, and some pockets are full of various chips.
The sheriffs of the NCPD just stood aside and watched, without any intention of stepping forward to stop them.
At the main intersections in the company square, the tribal homeless people also 'fighted' the group fight, returned to the car to start the engine one after another, and left the scene like lightning.
The large disc of the transportation hub began to slowly resume traffic, and the traffic flows into the disc again, forming a flowing light and shadow.
The riot and fire took down half the biotech building, whatever the fire could have done.
But it was good enough tonight.
Many media reporters have arrived at the scene and began to rush to report the news.
News 54 floating vehicles arrived at the company square, and the photography team got off the vehicle immediately, found a place with a relatively wide view, and prepared to start the live broadcast.
The lens of the intelligent floating drone automatically adjusts the focus, aiming at the host who is not far away, and the background is the building of the biotechnology company.
The host in the blond pink dress immediately raised the microphone and said, "Hello, everyone, this is the scene of the riot in the company square. I am Jillian, an outside reporter from Channel 54 News."
"Now, behind me is the front line of the riot, the Biotechnology Building."
The lens of the intelligent floating drone was then adjusted to a wide angle, including the entire biotechnology building in the picture.
Gillian continued to explain: "It can be seen that the fire has spread to the middle of the biotechnology building, and nearly half of the floors have been attacked by the fire. At present, the open flames on the facade of the building have been extinguished, but the riots inside the building are still continuing."
"The biotechnology company has mobilized multiple floating vehicles and is conducting emergency firefighting operations, but there is obviously a lack of control methods for the rioting crowd."
"In addition, it can also be seen that many rioters have begun to evacuate. They have snatched property from the biotechnology building. Obviously, the whole situation has gotten out of control."
The host Jillian saw three or five rioters rushing in the distance, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop them and asked.
"Hi, I'm an outside reporter from Channel 54 News. I'll take up a few minutes of your precious time. May I interview you?"
Unexpectedly, several people on the other side cursed directly: "What stupid *54, I didn't see it was busy, shit!"
"Painkillers, biochemical weapons, and the immoral things done by biotechnology, you know better than anyone else, what is there to ask?"
"That's right, the company*, there's nothing good about it!"
A few people finished cursing at the camera, and ran away without looking back, ignoring them at all.
Gillian was a little embarrassed, and then asked the director to cut this scene, and then smiled at the camera again.
"Judging from the situation at the scene, the riots in the company square this time were mainly aimed at biotechnology companies."
"It is reported that the main reason for the riots is related to multiple biochemical and pharmaceutical projects of biotechnology companies."
"This station has received relevant materials from various sources. The materials mainly show that a painkiller developed and marketed by biotechnology has side effects of neurodegenerative decay, but it has not been disclosed, causing many veterans who participated in the war to suffer from severe neurological diseases. .”
"At present, Military Science and Technology has issued a statement that it will seriously hold biotechnology accountable for this matter, and will establish a start-up pension fund to help veterans who have taken such drugs."
"There has been no statement from the biotech company regarding the riots, or the multiple programs that have been widely questioned."
"Our reporter, Jillian, will report for you on the spot."
After the shooting, Gillian's professional smile disappeared immediately, check the effect of the live broadcast just now.
After confirming that there was no problem, she walked to the corner next to her, lit a cigarette and started smoking.
As a veteran reporter and host of News 54, I have already heard about this incident.
This painkiller project information was sent to the news station many years ago.
At that time, she also specifically asked her superiors whether she wanted to broadcast the relevant content of the materials.
Due to certain force majeure factors, not only could it not be broadcast, but even the data was taken away by the radio station and encrypted.
This is just a small episode in her media career, and she can only recall it from countless memory fragments today.
Gillian had long been numb to these things, and exhaled a smoke ring expressionlessly.
"Maybe that's why colleague Regina Jones left."
There will be one more later.
