At the gate of the steel factory, Long Yuehong held the walkie-talkie and answered Jiang Baimian's question:
"Jingfa! He said his name is Jingfa!"
The other side of the walkie-talkie was silent for two seconds, the rustling sound accompanied by the zzz of the current movement low lingering.
Then, Jiang Baimian said urgently:
"Withdraw immediately!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already turned off the walkie-talkie.
Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong didn't quite understand why the team leader's reaction was so big, that they didn't even bother to find out what happened to them after encountering Jingfa, whether they were identified as "fated people," and directly issued the order to withdraw.
Not understanding, but not against Jiang Baimian's decision, on the one hand, following the rules of the Safety Department when going out on missions, and believing in the team leader's experience and judgment, on the other hand, they were also full of fear for the mechanical monk who was full of strange theories.
The two did not speak, holding assault rifles, slightly bent their backs, took big steps, and ran wildly towards the outside of the steel factory.
With the physique of the two gene modifiers, coupled with the long-term adherence to training, maintaining a period of high-speed running state is not too difficult, until out of the cement-built dilapidated road, ready to turn to the jeep parked hidden place, they slowed down a little, gasped for a few breaths.
And the jeep had already started, trying to meet them.
This time, it was Bai Chen sitting in the driver's seat again.
Bang! Bang! Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong each drilled into the back seat and closed the car doors.
Whew, whew, the two gasped for breath.
"Drive at full speed." Jiang Baimian instructed Bai Chen, turned her head and asked Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, "When you used the walkie-talkie, how far were you from Jingfa?"
"Very far, we were in the steel factory, whew, at the gate, Jingfa, should, whew, should have walked behind the chimney, we couldn't see each other." Long Yuehong answered while gasping.
He didn't see where Jingfa was, but relied on the direction of each other when they separated, the approximate speed and the time spent to estimate, which can be said to be very inaccurate, only as a reference.
Jiang Baimian obviously had a certain understanding of the layout of the steel factory ruins, and after a little recollection, said:
"This distance is not too safe... The mechanical monk's monitoring system is very strong, and can capture the movement of distant places.
"Bai Chen, don't care about the power, and don't be afraid of rolling over, maintain the current speed."
Long Yuehong then noticed that the team leader had already picked up that rather heavy grenade launcher, and had changed to a grenade with greater explosive power.
"Team leader, Jingfa said that we have no fate with the Monk Order, don't be so nervous." He quickly told the key information, so as not to Jiang Baimian reacted too much.
Jiang Baimian looked at the rearview mirror and shook her head imperceptibly:
"That's not the point.
"You should all have learned that the 'Eternal Life' technology has certain defects, and all mechanical monks have certain mental problems.
"These problems are different, and according to the information collected by the company, Jingfa, uh, he is one of the more active mechanical monks on the gray earth, and in this respect, he is mainly..."
Jiang Baimian paused and said:
"Hates women!"
"Uh?" Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong both understood the meaning of these four words, but were not sure what it meant, how serious it was.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Bai Chen and said:
"As long as Jingfa encounters a woman, or even just hears a woman's voice, he will go crazy and attack everyone around him indiscriminately.
"And judging from the traces on some corpses, he has a tendency to abuse and assault."
"He's just a robot..." Long Yuehong couldn't imagine.
Jiang Baimian took a breath:
"That's why it's terrible... By the way, which of you will use that exoskeleton device?"
Before Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong could respond, her already dignified expression became even more serious:
"Quiet."
Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong instantly understood something, turned their heads and looked out the window, looking for the figure of the mechanical monk wearing a red cassock.
However, they could only see sparse woodland, soft gray soil, black swamps, and stones of various sizes, and nothing else.
At this time, there were many potholes and rocks in front, and Bai Chen had to slow down the jeep.
If it really overturned, the problem would be even more serious.
Jiang Baimian's left palm, which was holding the grenade launcher, slid down inexplicably, and patted Bai Chen's right elbow without a sound.
Bai Chen did not turn her head, while turning the steering wheel to the left, she lowered the speed of the car even lower, almost returning to its normal state.
Throughout the whole process, the windows on both sides of the jeep were open.
Suddenly, a black figure wearing a tattered monk's robe and a red cassock jumped down from the trees beside the road, straight at the passenger seat where Jiang Baimian was, it was the mechanical monk Jingfa who claimed to be a monk!
But at this time, Jiang Baimian seemed to have a premonition, and had already raised the grenade launcher and aimed it at the "Eternal Life."
This looked like Jingfa was actively pouncing towards the grenade about to be fired.
And that grenade loaded with high explosives was powerful enough to cause damage to the mechanical monk.
Just as Jiang Baimian's finger pressed down, preparing to pull the trigger, the red and bright eyes on Jingfa's metal face suddenly flickered.
Jiang Baimian suddenly saw many, many people.
Those people's figures were slightly illusory, lying on the surrounding ground, frantically grabbing mud, gravel and leaves, and stuffing them into their mouths.
"Their" bellies were bulging high, as if they would be torn apart by the things they ate at any time, but "they" did not feel full at all, and ate whatever they saw.
Jiang Baimian seemed to have become one of these people: she had no feeling of hunger, but thought she should be very hungry, was in a state of hunger, and had to eat something.
This impulse, this self-perception, made her uncontrollable, and immediately released her right index finger pressed on the trigger and threw the grenade launcher back on her leg.
She took out a bag of compressed biscuits, frantically tore open the packaging, and stuffed the food into her mouth.
In the process, she didn't even bother to drink water, and even though she was choked so much that her eyes rolled slightly, she couldn't help but continue to swallow.
Not only her, Bai Chen also stepped on the brakes, frantically gnawing on the energy bar, while Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong each took out the food on their bodies and enjoyed the late dinner irrationally.
They completely ignored that there was a dangerous enemy outside pouncing over.
With a crack, the mechanical monk Jingfa landed next to the jeep.
He opened the passenger's car door with his left hand, and pointed his right palm at Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen, and also covered Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong.
And it wasn't until this time that Jiang Baimian broke free from the self-perceived hunger.
The slightly illusory figures with high bellies on the surrounding ground had disappeared.
Almost at the same time, Shang Jianyao leaned forward slightly and lowered his head.
Jingfa paused for two seconds, did not use laser weapons, nor did he spray flames to purify the four, after the red light in his eyes flashed several times, he said:
"Do you think that this monk is going to save you now?
"This monk will not do what you want, this monk will first take you to the depths of the swamp, find a place where no one disturbs you, and let you enjoy it."
When he spoke, he only looked at Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen.
Jiang Baimian's face changed slightly, but she did not respond, as if she was thinking about how to get out of this predicament.
At this time, Shang Jianyao straightened his body and asked in a confirming tone:
"Are you an Awakened?"
"Yes." Even if they were hostile to each other, even if he was going crazy because he saw a woman, Jingfa seemed to maintain the principle of "a monk does not lie."
He observed the seat, while continuing to aim at Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen with the laser weapon and flamethrower in his right hand, he walked towards the back seat and opened the car door.
"This monk will sit in the middle." He said in a cold and emotionless voice.
This way he can monitor everyone in the car and let the jeep drive smoothly to his destination.
Shang Jianyao got out of the car nimbly, made way for the position, as if the other party was not an enemy now.
The mechanical monk Jingfa did not relax his vigilance against them, and sat down in the middle of the back row in a grand manner.
While sitting on the side, Shang Jianyao asked as if he was thinking about something:
"Hating women is your flaw?"
He didn't use the word "price," but used the "flaw" commonly used by ordinary people when describing mechanical monks.
Jingfa did not lie, and answered truthfully:
"No, the price I paid was increased lust.
"I originally thought that after uploading my consciousness into a robot's body, I would be able to obtain purity and no longer be affected, but that's not the case."
Shang Jianyao made an expression of sudden realization:
"I thought it was not being able to lie."
"Not lying is the precept of the Order." Jingfa answered every question, "Anyway, you will all be liberated, it doesn't matter if you know."
Shang Jianyao closed the door of the jeep and asked curiously:
"What was that ability just now?"
"The 'Hungry Ghost Path' in the Six Paths of Reincarnation." Jingfa's red glowing eyes looked at Bai Chen, "Drive, go straight."
Hearing Shang Jianyao and Jingfa's questions and answers, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen both felt an unspeakable sense of absurdity:
Clearly the mechanical monk was holding them hostage to a place to torture and kill, but Shang Jianyao and he were acting like good friends they hadn't seen for many years.
Just as Bai Chen stepped on the accelerator, Jiang Baimian laughed:
"Haha, I understand!
"You hate women because your current body makes it impossible for you to be satisfied, your escape behavior of uploading consciousness has instead caused your flaws to be magnified countless times! Your psychology has been distorted, and only physical violence can give you some relief!
"Haha, doesn't your Order talk about the six roots being pure? But this monk's heart is so dirty!"
Jingfa, who was already forcibly suppressing the fluctuations of his consciousness, suddenly became uncontrollable. The red light in his eyes shone brightly, and he leaned forward, about to pounce on Jiang Baimian in the passenger seat and commit a personal assault.
Jiang Baimian did not dodge, but instead actively greeted him, and flicked up her left arm to pinch Jingfa's black metal neck.
Her left index finger had already been prepared to extend, carrying a subtle, silver-white current, and inserted it into a certain hole in the mechanical monk's neck.
That was the "tool" attached to the electric eel-type bionic limb, with components such as connection chips, circuits, and sensors, which could be used to read data from computer-like objects and crack firewalls within a certain strength!
And the mechanical monk, apart from human consciousness, is essentially an artificial intelligence robot.
