Time passed by like a white horse. After Howard's olive oil wedding, a few years passed quickly.
Su Ming has been very low-key over the years. Apart from observing the changes in the Universe Cube at Kama Taj, he exercises his body to maintain his state.
Occasionally travel to Sparta, or stay in Warnerheim for a few days, every day is fine.
On this day, when he returned to the company to check the accounts, he suddenly received a call from Howard.
"God, it finally got through, where did you go?"
Howard's voice on the phone was haggard, and he yelled and didn't give Su Ming a chance to say "hello".
"Me? The same way, going out to travel and wandering around." Su Ming put the phone receiver on his shoulder, and twisted the lid of the wine bottle with his empty hand: "What's the matter with you calling? If it's just for small talk, then I I'm going to hang up."
"Don't, don't, listen." There was a deep breath from Howard, the airflow rustled the earpiece, and he lowered his voice: "Maria and I need help, cough cough, special help."
Su Ming's heart moved, but he slowed down: "I don't know what you are talking about. Anyway, we will talk when we meet. Where are you?"
"Long Island, my villa."
Howard knew that there were some things that could not be said on the phone. As a senior in the logistics department, his phone calls and communications were monitored. It is a monitor on the bright side. If you dare to block it, it means there is a ghost in your heart.
Not only him, but all logistics leaders are the same. Telephone is no longer a secure means of communication. Want to make some little secrets? Then you have to meet and talk, just like primitive society.
"Hehe, that is the villa of Maria's house, you are the son-in-law."
Su Ming ridiculed Howard routinely, and then decided to take a look, knowing that although Howard has been in trouble for so many years, he has never taken the initiative to ask for death knell.
"I'll wait for you, hurry up." Howard hung up the phone, and he rarely refuted, as if there were more important things busy.
"Tsk."
Su Ming put down the microphone that kept busy with the busy tone, took the wine glass and finished the drink inside. He looked at the sea outside the window, thought for a moment, and then turned and left.
Maria’s villa is not far from Wilson’s corporate headquarters. When he drove, he stopped at the courtyard gate not long after. The bodyguards opened the gate of the manor for him, and then he drove directly to the main house. .
The house is still so beautiful, with white porches and red brick walls, and the Howard and his wife are already waiting for him in front of the door.
Howard is still the same, except for being a little older, his mustache is still so ecstasy. Compared with the wedding, Maria has changed a lot. Although she has been beautiful since she was a little girl, she is now full of maternal glory.
She was pregnant, but there was no joy in being a mother on her face, and there was only sadness and prayer in her eyes towards Su Ming.
Su Ming threw the car key to the housekeeper, walked into the house familiarly, and deliberately joked with Howard: "Is it for me to play mahjong? But now I still lack one."
"God, stop joking." Howard rolled his eyes, took his arm and walked towards the depths of the villa: "There is a troublesome thing, I need your help."
He came to the study with the death knell, and fumbled a few times on the bookshelf, the bookshelf slowly slid open, revealing a single room at the back.
After looking around like a thief, Howard took out a weird instrument and checked the surroundings, before cautiously leading into the secret room and closing the secret door.
Su Ming observed this house, and it seemed that Howard had transformed it into a temporary laboratory. In addition to various experimental equipment, there was also an extremely primitive computer and manuscript paper with a table top and half of the floor.
He walked a few steps, picked up the test tube containing the blue liquid on the table, sniffed it, and teased the mouse in the cage.
"What? You came to me just to tell me that not only do you study physics, but are you also interested in chemistry and biology now?"
Howard shook his head and sat back in the chair strenuously. He looked exhausted: "No, it's about my and Maria's children."
He rubbed his hair, even his mustache drooped.
"Let's talk, I can only quote after listening to specific things."
Su Ming smiled, reached out and took the cage of the white rat and placed it on his left and right to look at it. The house didn't even have a window, and the rat's red eyes looked sneaky in the dim light.
Howard's face was bitter and he showed a dumbfounded expression: "I thought we had known each other for so many years, and you wouldn't say so emotionally. Do you remember that we fought side by side during World War II, and remember our happy past?"
"Don't, talking about money hurts feelings, but talking about feelings hurts money, and again, what I want will not be money. First listen to how you plan to let me help."
Su Ming interrupted his recollection. Howard was a good monkey. If he was really moved by his words, it would be a brain injury.
Howard and Maria looked at each other, closed their eyes and sighed, his fingers clasped into the armrest of the sofa, looking very painful.
"This matter concerns my son and Maria, he...something went wrong."
Su Ming nodded, put down the cage and took out the wine bottle from his pocket, three people a glass, sometimes alcohol can help people sort out.
He has wine, just waiting for Howard's story.
"carry on."
"There are some problems with his genes. I discovered it during the last check-up. It was probably because I had been exposed to too many radioactive materials in the past, or the nuclear bombs created too many evil spirits. In short, my child may not be born alive."
Howard choked as he spoke, clutching Maria's hand tightly.
She is less than thirty years old this year, but her face is haggard like an old woman, and it seems that she hasn't had a good rest for a long time. She didn't speak, but shook Howard's fingertips with her backhand and bowed her head sadly.
"You must have figured out a way, go ahead, I believe Howard, who always claims to be a genius, will not sit and wait." Su Ming added wine to his glass and clinked glasses with him.
Howard raised his neck and took a big sip, gasping in a cold breath: "I consulted several scientists around me, but even Nathaniel and Hank didn’t have any good ideas. Genes. Too strange to us humans."
Su Ming didn't speak, but raised his glass.
So Howard continued: "Just when Maria and I were desperate, a robot... I couldn't say what it was. Anyway, it suddenly got into our home one night, and it said it There are ways to save our son and let him be born and grow up healthy. But when he is twenty years old, it will take him away from the earth and go to do a great thing in the universe."
"What is it called?" Su Ming tapped his finger on the wine glass, and the crisp sound of the glass reverberated in the secret room: "How do you call it?"
Howard raised his head and looked at Su Ming with serious eyes: "It claims to be the Recorder 451, and nothing else."
"I see, recorder No. 451, partner of the Observer, servant of Eternity, continue."
Su Ming's expression remained unchanged. After all, he guessed that it was like that~EbookFREE.me~ His calm expression and knowledge of the robot gave Howard a glimmer of hope, and the death knell really had a way to deal with it.
"I promised him, you know, I want to keep my child alive, and the technology of the earth obviously can't do this." Howard turned the glass in his hand and sucked his nose vigorously: "So the recorder built a machine, equipped with some drugs, and helped me treat the child."
"But after all, I have worked at SSR for so many years. I always pay more attention to aliens. I went crazy with biochemistry, and secretly cracked his potion, and checked the child in Maria's stomach." Howard said Shaking his head, his expression was gloomy: "The robot lied to us. The child can indeed be born smoothly and grow up healthy, but he can only live to 30 years old, and then he will die of genetic collapse."
"So?" Su Ming asked inductively.
"So I modified the medicine so that my child can become a normal person, but I have not given the medicine to the child because I am afraid of being seen through by the robot. It is so powerful that it can even pause time and reflect energy if it recognizes its own The conspiracy is seen through, and it is very likely to become angry. Then Maria, me and the children are in danger..."
Howard said the problem he was facing, and then looked at Su Ming with eager eyes.
In the face of such alien robots, it is useless to find Steve or other teams. Only by looking for the death knell can you have the greatest assurance.
Su Ming drank the glass of wine in the eyes of the husband and wife praying, and gently placed the glass on the table. The black and yellow armor instantly wrapped him.
A red light lit up in the dark secret room, and the hoarse voice seemed to come from hell:
"Let’s take a look at the package I provided. How do you want that robot to die?"
