Los Angeles International Hotel.
Chairman Li Guangya, who had attended the meeting outside all day, was sitting in the study room meticulously dealing with today's official business.
The war had come to an end, and the ALPHA virus had been cracked by the patch of the Hippocampus Group. This crisis that had swept the world had finally been averted at an unexpected speed. No matter how one thought about it, this was a happy thing.
However, for some reason, since the morning, his eyelids had been twitching from time to time.
Although Li Guangya was not a superstitious person, there was always an ominous premonition in his heart telling him that something bad would happen soon.
"Is it because I'm too tired?"
Li Guangya took off the digital flat glasses on the bridge of his nose. He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.
Speaking of which, from January to now, it seemed that he hadn't taken a day off.
Although this kind of work pace was almost the norm for a job like the chairman, anyone would feel uncomfortable under high pressure for a long time.
"After returning from Los Angeles this time, I should take some time to rest for two days."
Thinking of this, he sat at the desk and reinvigorated himself.
The mountain of work would not be reduced because of a vacation, especially since the war had just ended. Guanghan City needed to be rebuilt, and the industries on Earth that had been damaged by the ban on robots were waiting to be rebuilt. There were still many things that needed his decisions.
If he wanted to take a break, he had to wait until all the things that needed to be done were done.
Just when he had just entered the state of mind, there was a knock on the door.
The pen in his hand stopped. Li Guangya frowned and stood up from the desk.
Who could it be so late?
With that in mind, he walked forward and opened the door.
Looking at the man escorted by two guards to his door, Li Guangya's face showed an unexpected expression.
"Secretary Xu?"
Xu Anguo, the office secretary of the chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, was also an international relations consultant. He was considered a member of Li Guangya's staff team and had worked here for many years.
He came to Los Angeles with him for the meeting this time. However, Li Guangya didn't quite understand what he wanted to do by visiting him at this time.
"I'm sorry to disturb you at this time, but I have something very important to discuss with you. Can I disturb you for 10 minutes?"
Thinking that he probably had something important to tell him, Li Guangya glanced at the guards standing on both sides of him and spoke.
"It's possible … Let's go in first."
After the guard closed the door, Li Guangya invited him into his room, sat on the sofa in the living room, and looked at him.
"What is it? Can you tell me now?"
After staring at Li Guangya for a while, just as Li Guangya felt a chill down his spine, Secretary Xu suddenly spoke.
"Do you long for immortality?"
Eternal life?
Li Guangya was taken aback for a moment, then he frowned slightly.
"… What do you mean?"
Looking at the man standing at the apex of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, Xu Anguo continued, "I mean, if you can live forever, are you willing to become an eternal existence?"
"It's an interesting suggestion … but to be honest, it's not very attractive to me."
"Why?!"
Looking at Xu Anguo's surprised face, Li Guangya smiled and said, "Because I don't really care about the length of life. It's enough for me to do a few earth-shattering things in my lifetime. Of course, it may also be because I'm only in my thirties or forties, and it's too early for me to die. "
Xu Anguo slowly clenched his fists on his knees, then slowly loosened them. He sighed and said.
He sighed and said, "But it's a pity …"
Just when Li Guangya was about to ask what the pity was, he suddenly found that a pen was pointing at him.
The silver-white shell exuded a penetrating cold light under the light, and the black hole at the top made it difficult to associate this thing with the function of writing.
If he guessed correctly, this should be a pocket pistol disguised as a pen.
Looking at the pen pointing directly at him, Li Guangya calmed himself down first, then asked.
"Didn't the guards search you?"
Xu Anguo said with a smile.
"Fortunately, after seeing my identity, they just gave me a perfunctory look and didn't find the mystery of this pen."
"Really? It seems that they should be laid off. "Li Guangya leaned back on the sofa. Even if he was pointed at by a gun, there was no fear on his face." Tell me, how much money did you sell your soul? I'm also quite curious about how much my life is worth. "
"Money? Your life? You are wrong, Mr. Chairman. "Xu Anguo smiled lightly and continued," We just hope that you can join us, write your thoughts into the circuit board, and accept eternal life. "
Write thoughts into the circuit board?
In an instant, Li Guangya finally reacted to what the so-called eternal life referred to by Secretary Xu.
"You are a robot? No, this is impossible … "He whispered in his mouth. At this moment, he suddenly remembered a report sent by the Security Bureau.
Robots may have mastered brain-control chip technology and combined it with cloning technology to create robots that were almost no different from normal people and had flesh and blood bodies.
The reason why Ceres fell was precisely because such existences had infiltrated the Pan-Asian Cooperation army.
Thinking of this, Li Guangya finally felt a chill in his heart.
He knew what the robot disguised as a human in front of him wanted to do to him.
They wanted to imprison him in the cage of the electronic world, change the owner of his body, and take the supreme power of the Pan-Asian Cooperation into their pocket.
"Farewell, Mr. Chairman —"
Before he could say "Mr. Chairman", the change suddenly happened again.
He saw that the android sitting in front of him seemed to have crashed, and the whole person was frozen there.
Seizing this momentary opportunity, Li Guangya quickly turned over and rolled behind the sofa while pressing the alarm on his body.
The door of the hotel was knocked open in an instant, and two armed guards rushed in. They quickly restrained Secretary Xu Anguo, who was sitting on the sofa and packing up his pocket weapon, and pressed him to the ground.
Looking at Xu Anguo, who was being controlled, Li Guangya got up from behind the sofa and shouted.
"Search him, quick! See if there are any explosives or anything on him! "
"Mr. Chairman … No other weapons were found hidden."
With a frightened expression on his face, the guard gulped nervously.
Obviously, he had realized his mistake in his work.
Although Li Guangya was very angry in his heart, he didn't want to vent his anger on a nobody like him at this moment. He just waved his hand gently.
"Give him to the security department, then … You all go out. Don't let anyone disturb me. I want to be alone."
The two guards left the room with Secretary Xu, who suddenly lost consciousness, and the door of the room closed again.
Li Guangya slowly leaned back on the sofa and calmed himself down a little.
This was probably the first time in his life that he had been assassinated. Fortunately, the robot suddenly crashed or something. Otherwise, he would probably be dead today.
After all, no one would have thought that the person who wanted to kill him was actually his loyal advisor.
"Is it really the will of heaven? Even this can't kill me … "
Li Guangya smiled self-deprecatingly. He gently tapped his right hand on his left wrist and opened the holographic interface.
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to take a look at the calendar and remember this date.
However, when his eyes touched the calendar, his heart suddenly moved slightly, and he remembered something for a moment.
Two days later …
The Yuheng arrived …
His pupils contracted slightly, then dilated.
Without any time to pause, he immediately grabbed the phone and reached the General Staff Headquarters.
"Order the First Fleet to immediately stop attacking the Yuheng!
"Take our hero home!"
