Chapter 1137

Time is like a white horse crossing the stream. After Howard's olive oil wedding, time flies by for a few years.

Su Ming has been very low-key these years. In addition to observing the changes of the cosmic cube in kamataj, he is exercising to keep in shape.

It's a good day to visit Sparta once in a while, or to spend a little time in warnaheim.

That day, when he returned to the company to check the accounts, he suddenly received a phone call from Howard.

"God, it's finally done. Where have you been?"

Howard's voice on the phone was haggard, and he didn't give Su Ming a chance to say "hello".

"Me? It's the same old way. I'm out traveling. I'm wandering around. " Su Ming put the receiver on his shoulder and twisted the lid of the wine bottle with his empty hand: "what can I do for you? If it's just for chitchat, I'll hang up. "

"No, no, listen." There was a deep breath from Howard. The air was rustling on the receiver. He lowered his voice: "Maria and I need help. Cough, special help."

Su Ming's heart moved, but slowed down his speed: "I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, we'll talk about it when we meet. Where are you?"

"Long Island, my villa."

Howard knows that there are things that can't be said on the phone. As a top logistics officer, his calls and communications are monitored. Is placed on the surface of the monitoring, if you dare to shield, that means there is a ghost in the heart.

Not only he, but all the logistic leaders are the same. Telephone is no longer a safe means of communication. Want to make a little secret? Then we have to meet and talk, just like primitive society.

"Hehe, it's Maria's villa. You're the son-in-law."

Su Ming ridiculed Howard as usual, and then decided to take a look. Although Howard had been in trouble for so many years, he never took the initiative to ask for help from the death knell.

"I'll wait for you. Come on." Howard hung up, and rarely did he contradict, as if he were busy with something more important.

"Tut."

Su Ming put down the microphone, which was constantly busy. He picked up his glass and drank the wine inside. He looked at the sea outside the window, thought for a moment, and then turned to leave.

Maria's villa is not far away from Wilson's corporate headquarters. He drove his car and stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Bodyguards opened the gate for him. Then he drove straight to the front of the main house.

The house is still beautiful, with a white porch and red brick walls, and Howard and his wife are waiting for him in front of the door.

Howard was still the same, except that he was a little older, and the moustache was still so enchanting. However, Maria has changed a lot compared with the wedding. Although she has been beautiful since she was a child, she is now full of the glory of motherhood.

She was pregnant, but there was no joy in her face to be a mother, and her eyes to Su Ming were only sad and praying.

Su Ming left the car key to the housekeeper. He came into the room skillfully and joked with Howard: "do you want me to play mahjong? But it's still one in three. "

"God, don't be kidding." Howard rolled his eyes, took his arm and walked deep into the villa. "There's a big problem. I need your help."

He came to the study with the death knell and groped on the bookshelf. The bookshelf slowly slid open and revealed a single room in the back.

After looking around like a thief, Howard took out his strange instrument and examined his surroundings. Then he carefully led his head into the chamber of secrets and closed the secret door.

Su Ming looks at the house. It seems that Howard has transformed it into a temporary laboratory. In addition to various experimental instruments, there is an extremely primitive computer and manuscript paper with a desk top and half floor.

He walked a few steps, picked up the test tube with blue liquid on the table, smelled it, and teased the mice in the cage.

"What? Are you here to tell me that you are not only interested in physics, but also in chemistry and biology? "

Howard shook his head and struggled back into his chair. He looked a little exhausted: "no, it's about me and Maria's children."

He rubbed his hair and even his moustache drooped.

"Come on, I can't quote until I've heard about it."

Even the mouse's eyes on the left and right of the mouse's cage are dark, and Su's eyes are dim.

Howard's face was bitter and he could not laugh or cry: "I thought we had known each other for so many years. You don't think you would have said anything so hurtful. Do you still remember that we fought side by side during World War II, and remember the happy times we had in the past?"

"No, talking about money hurts feelings, but talking about feelings hurts money. Besides, what I want is not money. First of all, listen to how you want me to help."

Su Ming interrupts his memory. Howard's monkey spirit really wants to be moved by his words, which is brain damage.Howard and Maria looked at each other, closed their eyes and sighed. His fingers were clasped into the armrest of the sofa in agony.

"It's about me and Maria's son, and he... Has some problems."

Su Ming nodded, put down the cage and took out the wine bottle from his pocket. Three people had a glass of wine. Sometimes alcohol can help people clear their minds.

He's got a drink. Wait for Howard's story.

"Go on."

"There are some problems with his genes, which were found in the last prenatal examination. It is likely that I have been exposed to too much radioactive substances in the past, or that the nuclear bomb has created too many wrongs. In short, I am afraid that my child will not be born alive."

Howard choked as he spoke. He held Maria's hand tightly.

She is less than 30 years old this year, but she looks haggard like an old woman. She seems to have not had a good rest for a long time. She didn't speak. She just shook Howard's fingertip with her backhand and lowered her head sadly.

"You've got a way. Go on. I'm sure Howard, who always calls himself a genius, won't wait to die." Su Ming added wine to his glass and touched it with him.

Howard took a big gulp, bared his teeth and took a cold breath: "I consulted several scientists around me, but even Nathaniel and Hank didn't have any good ideas. Genes are so strange to us."

Su Ming didn't speak. He just raised his glass.

So Howard went on: "just when Maria and I were going to despair, a robot... I can't tell what it was. Anyway, it suddenly came into our house one night and said it had a way to save our son and make him healthy and grow up. But when he is 20, it will take him away from the earth and do something big in the universe. "

"What's its name?" Su Ming knocked on the glass with his finger, and the crackle of the glass reverberated in the secret room: "what does it let you call it?"

Howard raised his head and looked at Su Ming with a serious look. "He calls himself recorder 451. There's nothing else."

"I see, tape recorder 451, partner of the observer, servant of eternity, continue."

Su Ming's expression did not change. After all, he guessed that was the case.

His calm expression and his understanding of the robot gave Howard a glimmer of hope, and the death knell had a way to deal with it.

"I agreed to his terms, you know, I wanted my kids to survive, and earth's technology obviously couldn't do that." Howard turned the glass around in his hand and sniffed hard. "So the recorder built a machine, equipped with some medicine, helped me treat my child."

"But after all, I have worked in SSR for so many years, so I always pay more attention to aliens. I taught myself biochemistry crazily, and secretly cracked his potion, and checked Maria's baby." Howard said, shaking his head, his expression is very gloomy: "that robot cheated us, the child can be born, healthy growth, but he can only live to 30 years old, and then die of genetic collapse."

"So?" Su Ming asked inductively.

"So I modified the medicine so that my child could become a normal person, but I haven't given it to my child because I'm afraid that the robot can see through it. It's so powerful that it can even pause for time and reflect energy. If it realizes that its plot has been discovered and it is likely to become angry, Maria and I will be in danger... "

Howard said his problems and looked at Su Ming with keen eyes.

In the face of such an alien robot, even if Steve is out of the mountain or other teams, it's no use finding the death knell.

Su Ming drank up the wine in his wife's praying eyes, put the glass on the table, and wrapped him in black and yellow armor.

There was a red light in the dark room, and the hoarse voice seemed to come from Hell:

"first, learn about the package I provided. How do you want the robot to die?"
