We are from the future ark

The person in charge did not seem to have any interest in technological issues, perhaps because he was not a manager in the field of technology, or perhaps he was not very curious about the scientific research process.

"How long will it take us to retrieve all the data from this chip?"

"It's very difficult. It's just like analyzing a digitized brain. Our Skynet is operating with great difficulty. It can't be any faster."

"Moreover, when our Skynet is operating this chip, all other work has to stop, which is too much of a drain on us."

"This means that in order to analyze this chip, our tens of departments, hundreds of branches and laboratories of Rhine Life must stop their experiments and will not be able to upload the data to our headquarters database."

"——Right now, the people above us are only concerned about the data in this chip. The rest is none of our business."

The person in charge said calmly that he naturally knew how much Rhine Life would have to spend to analyze this chip, but since it was the idea of ​​the superiors, he could not object.

However, as the top leader in this group, he naturally knew everything behind it and who was so concerned about it.

"…How did the boss know that the man had a chip in his brain? Could it be that he had modified his body to such an extent that it could be seen as an artificial life form at a glance?"

The man was not clear about what was going on, but he knew that this matter was jointly planned by his boss and the top leaders in Columbia. Although he didn't know where their information came from, he was not interested in it.

Now, the chip is in hand. Although data analysis will take some time, as long as we grasp it well, we will definitely be able to draw conclusions.

However, just as the man was thinking this, suddenly, the loading bar paused, and a huge red cross suddenly appeared on countless screens, accompanied by a harsh warning, which instantly made the atmosphere in the laboratory tense.

"Oh no! The access permission has been triggered! We must obtain the permission before the chip self-destructs!"

"——It seems that this job is not easy."

The person in charge muttered to himself as he looked at the twenty or so technicians around him who immediately began to try to break through the access rights.

I have brought back such a hot potato... What secrets are in this chip?

……

On the other side, in the deep mountains within the territory of Yan State, Nian, who had kidnapped the corpse, finally returned here and placed the repaired corpse in his hand back on the forging furnace.

"Alright kid! Look how good I am to you. I braved the hail of bullets to get your original body back!"

Nian fanned himself with a fan, looking at Chen Qi who was still very dull. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand nonchalantly and murmured:

"Forget it. I can't talk to you about it now. It's better to forge the soul remnants in your body as soon as possible, so that you can at least recover a little."

"It may seem a little clumsy, but it will definitely be more vivid than it is now."

Having said this, Nian could not wait to lift up the forging hammer beside him, pulled up the dull Chen Qi, and placed him on the same forging furnace with his original body.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt this time! I'm confident in this kind of precision work!"

Nian didn't know whether he was comforting Chen Qi or cheering himself up. He raised the forging hammer in his hand, compared Chen Qi's original body with her transformed body, and muttered to himself:

"Hmm... As expected, there is a slight difference. Then I will modify the details of this body according to your original body."

"This time, I guarantee that I can replicate a complete body 100%, from temperament to cell activity, everything will be completely restored for you."

"Then, let's begin!"

Keeping the same confidence in myself as always, I have started another transformation and tempering in this year.

Chapter 121: Chen Qi's awakening and life with Nian

A few days later, in an uninhabited mountain range in Yan Country, at this moment, in a cave that seemed restrained but was actually extremely mysterious, there were bursts of light emitting that made people want to find out what was going on.

"——You bastard! I told you not to touch me! Do you want to tie your hands with a hemp rope?!"

However, the woman's furious roar was heard in the cave, followed by a dull sound, and everything returned to calm again.

Inside the cave, Nian, who was almost angry to death, was breathing heavily. Looking at Chen Qi, who had another bump on his head, he was really thinking "Fuck it".

"I, I'll say it again, your brain seems to be a little bit off, but I'm only going to say it one last time!"

"You can't touch the fire in this forge directly! My body can't stand the heat of this kind of fire. If you put your hand in, you'll probably be dead in the next second!"

"Have you been a one-armed general for long? Is your left hand so worthless?!"

After letting out a final roar, Nian finally felt that his roar was a bit exhausting. He put down the forging hammer in his hand that had just hit Chen Qi, panted heavily, and poured himself a cup of tea to cool down.

"……sorry."

At this moment, Chen Qi's slightly apologetic voice finally came slowly. He touched the big bump on his head that was beaten, but his expression was still not very flexible. He said so lightly.

Nian looked at the troublemaker in front of him for a long time before he slowly let out a breath. After drinking a whole cup of tea, he completely lost his temper.

Nian's plan was verified. There were indeed some souls remaining in Chen Qi's body. After Nian beat these souls, they merged into Chen Qi's current body, allowing his body, which only had a wisp of soul, to be replenished to a certain extent.

However, the soul is still broken. Although Chen Qi, whose soul has been replenished, has initially become no different from the mental state of a human, his mind... has degenerated a lot.

It was probably the feeling of a normal child of eleven or twelve years old, and the most important thing was that even though his soul was replenished, Chen Qi's memory did not return.

This was beyond Nian's expectations. She didn't know that Chen Qi was an artificial life form, nor did she know that he had a chip in his brain to store memories. This was the first time she had encountered a situation where the soul was replenished but the memory was not preserved.

This... Nian is once again in a dilemma. Why not take action now?

There are flaws, and they are big ones. I can't show it off this year. After all, it is a work of my own making. How can it be such a defective product?

Nian has been trying to find out the reason why Chen Qi lost his memory. With her way of thinking for five or six thousand years, she can't think of what caused this situation to happen. So during this period of time, Nian has been living here with Chen Qi.

However, Chen Qi, who was eleven or twelve years old and had no memories... was much more troublesome than Nian had imagined.

"You kid...were you such a difficult person to please before?"

Nian was also quite helpless. After moistening his throat with tea, he fanned himself and muttered to himself:

"No wonder you treat your aunt so well... She managed to get through such a difficult time. If I were her, I would think she's good too..."

"?"

However, although Nian did not hide her mumbling, Chen Qi at this moment did not understand what she meant at all. After a moment of confusion, he still did not dare to talk to Nian.

Chen Qi didn’t know who Nian was, but he could feel some kind of connection between the two of them. In his mind, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Nian.

Nian often muttered some words that he couldn't understand, and didn't give too much explanation. Although it was a little difficult for Chen Qi to understand at the moment, he still figured out some things through Nian.

He now seemed to have forgotten many things in the past. Chen Qi didn't know what he had forgotten, but he was still very clear about the feeling of his brain being empty and not knowing anything about his past.

He could judge that some of his common sense had not completely disappeared, and this was what made him feel most relieved.

At least, she doesn't need to teach Chen Qi things that even she feels embarrassed about.

"Let me make it clear first, you are not my son! Ugh... although you do have my blood in your body, we are definitely not in that kind of relationship!"

"Boy, I can't explain the extra words to you now, but you will understand them in the future! You have to listen to me here. If you make me angry, I will make you feel like your body is about to be burned!"

——This is what Nian said to Chen Qi at that time. Although Chen Qi still doesn’t understand a lot of the words, he understands part of the things.

To put it bluntly, it means to be obedient, and secondly, Nian is not his mother, even though he has Nian's blood in his body.

Fortunately, Chen Qi was very good at this aspect. However, Nian was unable to answer Chen Qi's questions in other aspects.

"Ah... Why did I end up with a troublemaker like you in the first place..."

Nian looked at Chen Qi in front of him, and after a long time he uttered a long sigh. He subconsciously grabbed the soft flesh on Chen Qi's face, and then rubbed it casually.

...Well, Nian has also developed some small habits. She found that after the body she created of Chen Qi was integrated with the flesh of his original body, the touch of this face was unexpectedly good.

Every time when Chen Qi made Nian feel overwhelmed, he would rub Chen Qi’s cheeks to “relieve the stress”. This was very effective. At least, although Nian got angry more frequently during this period, he would calm down quickly.

If it were the same temper as the year before last... If she got angry, then Yan Country would have to stage the annual "encirclement and suppression" moment. At that time, the civilians would hang up red things to prevent the destruction of their villages by the year.

Speaking of which, Nian is actually a woman. The reasons why Nian gets angry every year are the reasons that some women cannot avoid.

Although Nian has a special physique and only comes once a year, whenever he comes that year, he will definitely get angry and become violent.

Ever since Nian set a town on fire in rage a long time ago, legends about the ferocious beast "Nian" have begun to spread in Yan State. The legend that "hanging red" and "setting off firecrackers" can scare Nian away is simply false.

It’s just because Nian likes the color red, it’s festive, and setting off firecrackers to scare Nian away is also a pure accident. Anyone would be scared if something suddenly went off with a loud bang one day, right?

During that period, Nian was in its growth period, so the custom of "celebrating the New Year" was also passed down from that time. It was not until later that Nian gradually became a complete entity and took human form that she barely overcame the so-called woman's cycle.

But it's not completely overcome, it just changed from once a year to once every ten years. Until now, she still follows the things that women must go through and suffers from it.

...I've gone off topic. I just said this, but at this moment, Chen Qi seemed to have found a way to relieve his pain.

However, facing this source of anxiety, Nian's mood at this moment is probably mixed.

"… Never mind. Just make do with it. What else can I throw away?"

She leaned back helplessly, she knew that she would probably not be able to spend every day of her future in deep sleep. The level of sleep that she could have for several days or even decades would be gone forever.

For the sake of this difficult boy, she has to go to bed on time every day and prepare three meals a day for him.

"Fortunately, this is in the mountains, so it's not hard to find wild animals, but it's a bit troublesome to get some vegetables."

Looking at Chen Qi, who had been eating wild beast meat with her for three or four days, Nian couldn't help but start thinking about the child's current physical condition. Although it was her fault, the child seemed to be feeling a little irritated these days.

Although Chen Qi never said it, Nian could feel that Chen Qi was indeed a little angry.

"It's a problem. Although farming is a talent in the genes of Yan people, I don't have that thing engraved..."

"...If it doesn't work, I'll go to the palace and steal some dishes from the imperial kitchen. I haven't tried it for a long time. I'm still craving for it, but it's not spicy and tastes bland like a bird."

As Nian muttered to himself, he was already thinking about the possibility of stealing vegetables from the imperial kitchen in the capital of Yan State.

The days of living continue, but how long it will last... no one knows.

In this isolated and desolate mountain, nothing from the outside world can affect this place, as if it is a world with only two people...

Chapter 122: The Year of Saying One thing and Saying another (Today’s first update)

"Hmm... I definitely feel like something is missing."

At this moment, in Nian's cave, a woman who was dressed in the style of Yan country similar to Nian's, but seemed to be very different from Nian's style, muttered to herself after carefully observing Chen Qi.

"Although the soul is incomplete... it is not difficult to simply insert a pure soul to replenish it. However, this kind of thing of amnesia... is the first time I have encountered it."

"Logically speaking, a soul should contain fragments of one's own memories. Why is this child's soul so pure?"

"——Stop talking about these useless things." Nian waved his hand aside, looking at Chen Qi who had fallen asleep due to her little trick, and said to the woman:

"I just want to know if you can handle this situation. I'm just a blacksmith, not someone who specializes in restoring memories."

"I know what's missing from this kid's brain, but I don't know what exactly is missing to make him like this."

"Oh... maybe I have some clues."

However, the woman opposite him smiled slightly and took out a newspaper from behind her.

"Nian, take a look at this. I think this should be what you are looking for."

"…Terra's newspaper? When did you develop this habit?"

Nian looked at what the woman took out and couldn't help but raised his eyebrows in surprise. While taking it, he couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"...I'm not like you, hiding in the mountains and forests all day. I will still get in touch with the people of Terra, okay?"

However, the woman in northern-style clothing seemed quite dissatisfied with Nian's secluded lifestyle. She looked at the cave that looked rich but had no other use except for money, and couldn't help but say:

"Your place is pretty bad. It looks like there's a lot of money, but there's nothing you need."

"What material is this bed made of? It's not even as comfortable as my sofa. Didn't I tell you it's a Simmons mattress?"

"And this floor is so uncomfortable to step on. Let me recommend you a nice wooden material. You can also install a floor heating system and a radiator. Hmm, it will be warm in the winter."

"Don't put your Northeastern clothes here, I'm in Sichuan, okay?"

Nian was in no mood to argue with the woman. She looked at the newspaper in front of her and felt a little dizzy. She didn't like reading the dense words on the newspaper. It made her dizzy. She preferred to read the pictures.

I can remember pictures at a glance, but I get sleepy after reading words for a while.

Finally, she mustered up her energy and flipped through the newspaper in her hand. She read the words carefully. Fortunately, the newspaper did not make it too difficult for her. The first article on the front page was the news she was looking for.

"Victoria's public declaration condemning the theft of life in the Rhine, which belongs to Columbia... What?"

"To put it simply, Rhine Life seems to have taken something from Victoria. However, this thing seems to be quite important. Victoria is now confronting Columbia, demanding a thorough investigation and disclosure of Rhine Life's records."

"Currently, Columbia and Victoria are still in a standoff, and each side holds its own views. But judging from Columbia's current attitude, it is almost certain that they stole something from Victoria."

"But the important thing is what Columbia took. Although we don't know, considering what happened to this kid in Victoria... maybe?"

The lady with a northern style smiled slightly, facing Nian Weiwei's thoughtful eyes, and said lightly:

"At least from my perspective, there is more hope for this matter if we look for the cause aimlessly."

"But, Nian, as a sister, I have to remind you."

The lady with a northern style stretched out her finger that seemed to have just been done with a manicure and pointed at Nian. Facing Nian's slightly absent-minded eyes, she said word by word:
