Alexander Bunin hugged Kristina tightly, as nervous as an old gopher who had been dug out of his nest.

Lu Mingfei pushed Ling in his arms to Chu Zihang and walked towards the end of the trestle with the short arc knife. He heard heavy footsteps. Someone important was coming down the steps. There should be several people following him.

Ten GRU soldiers, their military boots made a rattling sound, but they could not see clearly because there was no lighting.

The only explanation why the hellhounds did not surround them and attack immediately was that the commander had not yet issued the final order. Although they were bloodthirsty, they had to obey the collar around their necks.

That means there are still conditions to negotiate, and the opponent's goal is not to simply wipe them out.

Across the group of ferocious dogs, the man stopped, took a cigarette in his mouth, lowered his head and lit it.

The moment the fire light came on, Lu Mingfei's heart tightened for no reason, because that was exactly the face of Okinets.

Okinets smiled and said, "Long time no see, my dear old friends."

"No, you are not Okinets." Lu Mingfei blurted out.

"It will be soon. When the main body disappears, the backup version will automatically obtain the main body's name and identity." Okinets smiled, "The same goes for you."

The GRU soldiers who followed him each took off their helmets and night vision goggles, and one after another they saw familiar faces, even those who died in the auction house.

"Dear Bunin, what you have been worried about is that you will be silenced after you step down as the auction manager, right?" Okinets' voice was gentle, "Yes, but it is not accurate. It is you who will be silenced."

all."

"Have we all lost value?" Bunin's voice trembled.

Okinets said: "Mr. Bunin should know how the Scots herd sheep, right? Raise a few sheepdogs, each of which can help you herd hundreds of sheep. They are all smart elves. The owner does not have to do anything.

, you just need to feed the sheepdogs. But when the sheepdogs get old and can no longer run, their owners will replace them. The owner is still the owner, the sheep are still the sheep, but the sheepdogs are different."

Bunin: "We are sheepdogs, and the value of our existence is to help our owners herd sheep."

"Yes. Haven't you felt that you have had a hard time in the past few years? Every dollar you earn has been used to buy time. As long as this kind of auction continues to be held, you people will continue to work hard.

Work. Below you are ordinary people who are more humble but don't know it. You transfer the money you earn from them to the master, so that the master can take away Russia's wealth without having to do it himself."

Okinets sighed, "But you are old. The serum can heal your body but not your heart. In your heart, you are already helping the elderly. If a person has not lived enough, he will work hard enough and

They work hard, but when they have lived enough, pleasure and material things will gradually lose their appeal, and such old dogs can no longer work."

Lu Mingfei understood the meaning of his words.

This group of VIPs are both greedy for life and exhausted in their hearts. They will end their lives at any time like moths flying into a flame, just like Sonia who resolutely launched the assassination.

But the Sonia standing behind Okinets now is completely different. She is young, energetic, and more passionate than the Sonia Lu Mingfei knew, with youthful desire in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Does the master want to use you to take over all the families?" Bunin's voice calmed down.

"You have lived too long. Most of us no longer have any relatives living in this world. It is not difficult to replace you." Okinets sighed, "When one's friends die of old age one after another.

, this person gradually died."

"Then the question is, will you continue this auction every year? Then it will be replaced by your backup." Lu Mingfei said: "Knowing that this is the end, are you still going to be a dog for the master you said?"

Okinets said indifferently: "If it can't run on the grassland, the shepherd dog will be worthless. Even if you know that it will inevitably be replaced by a new shepherd dog in the end, you still have to kill the old shepherd dog to replace it."

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask: "Who is the master?"

Okinets shook his head and pointed at Bunin with the cigarette in his hand, "No one knows, except him."

Everyone turned to look at Bunin, but the man just hugged his trembling daughter tighter and shook his head, "That's a devil. No one knows who he is. If I really knew, I would have died long ago."

Already."

"Even if we are replaced, you will just continue to be that guy's slaves, working hard to make money for him, just to live for a few more years!" Anna pointed her rifle at the girl behind the fake Okinets, that is another Anna

.

The red aiming point swayed between Anna's eyebrows, but the other person didn't dodge at all, and her eyes were as calm as a dead person.

Pseudo-Okinets shook his head, covered his face and laughed. Two seconds later, the laughter turned into uncontrollable laughter.

"How can you, living in this world, understand our idea of ​​backup? You think you are slaves, but if you don't die, we won't even be qualified to be slaves!" He growled: "Aren't you already alive?

Is that enough? Then why not die? Let us breathe the air and see the real sunshine! Slaves? What are slaves? There are ghosts like us under the feet of slaves!"

The deafening roar contained so much pain.

Lu Mingfei silently looked at the crazy and twisted face, and suddenly felt that those people were not enemies. At this moment, everyone in City 023 was a ghost in purgatory.

If the boss behind the scenes opens a passage to the human world, these people will frantically get rid of their backups and step on their corpses to escape from this ghost place.

Gu Chen's eyes were calm, as if he had never heard anything.

Pseudo-Okinets regained his composure, shrugged and sneered, "Do you think each of you is your original self?"

The distinguished guests looked at each other in horror. The crowd that had gathered together suddenly dispersed, and everyone instinctively grabbed their weapons.

"Don't believe what that guy says!" Maxim yelled, "We are old friends, how could we mistake each other?"

Pseudo-Okinets still sneered, "Can you really remember your past? How much can you remember in your hundreds of years of life? Are some things already too imitative? Are there some people who you can't even remember what they look like?

Not sure?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then showed a puzzled expression.

Pseudo-Okinets said: "Heraclitus said that no one can wade into the same river twice. Because when you wade in for the second time, the water in the river is no longer the same water as before, but the channel
