Causal loop

Chapter 17

The helicopter docked smoothly at the Talon's landing site. Reaper jumped out of the helicopter, and McCree followed him, looking around and looking at all these buildings. After he left from the shadows, he never joined any organization again. Free mercenaries, suddenly returning to such a highly organized place, are a little uncomfortable.

"Go this way."

The god of death led the way ahead, and along the way there were some soldiers wearing helmets ready to go on duty. Those soldiers looked at McCree with contempt in their eyes, which was very uncomfortable. McCree bowed his head slightly in silence and covered it with the brim of his hat. With his own appearance, if he didn't want to know what Angela wanted to do, he wouldn't have come here with Death.

Reaper walked to the elevator entrance, and put his hand into a machine next to the elevator. The machine beeped, and the originally closed door quickly opened, and then closed after Reaper and McCree walked in.

McRae looked at the black and white walls inside, and when he reached an intersection, Reaper turned left and walked to a gate, knocked on the door lightly, and there was a response from inside.

"Please come in."

Reaper pushed the door open, and McCree saw a large room with dozens of high platforms standing opposite the door, wearing black robes and masks, and staring coldly at him and Reaper.

"The organization strictly prohibits non-organizers from entering, and those who violate it will be killed."

This is the central nervous system of Black Claw, and the heads are all here. Their unique and deep voices are frightening, but Reaper has no fear. Looking at the group of so-called high-level leaders, Reaper said calmly:

"This is the helper I invited. I am here this time to convey something."

"What's the matter?" The voice came from another direction.

"Angela Ziegler tried to revive all the intelligent machines in Eichenwalde. I apply to you for weapons and soldiers to participate in the battle."

The leaders who heard this sentence glanced at each other, and it took a long time before they responded:

"Angela Ziegler was brought in by you. If there is a problem with the person you brought in, it should be your own responsibility and you will be punished."

"I am willing to accept the punishment, but please—"

The god of death wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice from the person sitting on the left side.

"Reviving intelligent machines is theoretically impossible. It is the same as resurrecting people who have been dead for decades. We cannot agree to your application just by listening to one-sided words."

Hearing this sentence, the god of death looked at the person sitting on it a little dissatisfied. He didn't look carefully just now, but now he glanced at it. He found that the person with the eagle mask who was supposed to sit in the center did not appear. For the general public, such high-level officials are not allowed to be absent.

"I hope to hear the decision of the highest-level people." Reaper stood in the center with a firm momentum.

"We don't know where we went." A voice came from the person sitting on the right side, "If it's true as you said, then it's actually none of our business."

"..." Hearing these words, the Grim Reaper became silent.

"We think your matter should be resolved by you. This is your subordinate, Reyes." The masked man said, and the other men in black nodded. They all agreed that this matter had nothing to do with it. It is necessary to intervene.

"I understand."

"Where are you going now?" After talking with those high-level officials, Reaper turned and left, and McCree followed behind Reaper, "Can't you see that they don't want to cause trouble? The attitude is really disgusting."

"I know."

"Then where are you going now?"

Death stopped and scratched his head, and said reluctantly:

"Now it's probably the only way to find that guy."

Overwatch internal meeting.

The internal members were all summoned to sit in the conference room where they usually hold meetings. Winston stood on the stage and presided over it. He scratched his head. In fact, he didn't quite understand why Anna asked him to bring over the internal members of Watchman, even though today was also a regular meeting. days, but always feel a kind of ominous premonition.

The insiders arrived one after another. Seeing that everyone was almost full, Winston also sat back in his seat. After all, today's protagonist is not himself.After waiting for a while, the time for the meeting finally started. Just when the members were curious about the content of today's meeting, Anna slowly stood up. Everyone was shocked when they saw the strand of white hair. Same.

Anna stood up, covered her chest with one hand, and bowed deeply to everyone.

"Everyone present here, thank you for your care over the years."

Anna's hoarse voice was different from the young Anna in the past. The ancient English pronunciation sounded like it came from distant ancient Egypt. Speaking of this, some veteran soldiers on the watch began to look sideways. Morrison looked at Anna and listened quietly. The other party was about to say what he was about to say, and the fort that Torbjörn had been tinkering with him also stopped.

Anna smiled. In fact, she had been thinking about this for a while while she was on the watch, and she was afraid of this moment. But when this moment came, she felt a little relaxed.

"I know that when I didn't come back, you once thought I was dead. Indeed, I should have died in those days of surviving."

"Anna..." Someone present couldn't help shouting.

"But I survived. In fact, I think my death may be a better ending, but I still have concerns in my heart. I am not willing to die like this, so I came back."

"It's just that I didn't expect that I just came back, and I decided to leave again."

Anna choked up a little when she said this, but she tried not to show it in order to finish speaking.

"I decided to leave Watchman."

"what?"

Reinhard stood up a little excitedly, looked at Anna and asked.

"I have to go. I have to find my daughter. This is what I want to announce at your regular meeting today."

"This is something you decide. We should respect your ideas, but can we hear your reasons?" Winston crossed his hands on the table. He asked this question, and many people nodded in agreement. .

"Yeah, we can't just let you leave without knowing it." D.VA who was originally playing video games with Lucio also raised his head and looked at Anna.

"This is my private matter. If I continue to stay on the watch, I will not know if she is safe, and I will not be able to find her. She has disappeared for too long, and she is with Angela."

"Indeed." Winston nodded understandingly. He also realized the seriousness of the situation. It is true that the Pharah hadn't appeared in the watch for a long time. Since the watch was disbanded, she was unable to join and left at the same time as Angela. Never heard from again.

"It's time for me to leave here. Even if my old life is gone, I will find her trace."

"But we can go find Anna together." Morrison said from the side, and the big Reinhardt nodded, "Yes, Anna, let's go find it together, it's safer."

"I can't trouble you anymore!" Anna said, "My death has already troubled you in the past, and I don't want to make you sad again. This time, even if I die, I don't worry about it."

Anna said this resolutely, and everyone present became quiet and looked at Anna together.

"us--"

Just when Morrison was about to say something, an urgent siren sounded from the hall outside the conference room, and everyone was on alert. Could it be that an enemy sneaked in and accidentally triggered the siren?Morrison picked up the gun next to his seat and rushed out first. He was very worried that someone would take the opportunity to sneak into the guard and cause irreparable losses.

"Be careful!" Someone shouted from behind.

Morrison thought that he would see a mess when he rushed out, but unexpectedly, he didn't. What surprised people at the scene was the guards who had fallen to the ground.

"what happened?"

"Long time no see, Morrison."

Morrison immediately raised his head and saw Reaper standing opposite him and another guy in a cowboy hat. Morrison put the gun on his shoulder and squinted at the person in front of him.

"It's been a long time, McCree." Morrison looked around, and almost all the soldiers were down, and a few soldiers were chained by Death, who was shaking the thick iron in his hand. Lian, smiled slightly, "Is this the purpose of you guys coming to watch and make trouble?"

"Of course not." Death threw the chain on the ground, and then said to Morrison, "I dare to come here just to find you."

"Oh, is it? Can you please explain to me what happened to these fallen soldiers?"

"They were just hit by McCree's gun, and they will be fine after a while." The God of Death shrugged and said, "This is the best meeting gift I can think of."

"You're really looking for—" Morrison was furious at that ruffian of Death, and wanted to rush forward to beat Death, but was stopped by Anna next to him.

"Wait, he must have a purpose for coming here." Anna glanced at the Grim Reaper with his hands crossed on his chest, "We might as well hear his reason for coming."

Death's smile was hidden under the mask. He turned his head and looked at Anna, "It's been so long, and you still know the times. Indeed, I have something to say by rushing into your territory without fear of death."

The watchmen behind Morrison all looked at the god of death together. It was strange at this moment that they should listen to the words of the enemy opponent.

"I know where the angels and the pharah are—"

"Really? Where are they!?" Anna asked excitedly when she heard Death's words. God knows, how long she had been waiting for these news.

When Morrison heard Death say this, he put down his gun and relaxed his tense muscles. They had been looking for Angela for a while, but they never thought that this former comrade-in-arms and current enemy would know their whereabouts. See It doesn't look like the other party is lying.

"I know you want to find her, Anna, she was forcibly taken to Eichenwalde by Angela, I don't know what she wants to do to Farrell, when McCree and I saw her, her body It is full of pipes, and we don't know what will happen to her, let alone whether she is dead or alive."

When Anna heard Death's words, it was as if she had been driven into a cold abyss, "How could Angela do such a thing? Obviously I entrusted Farrell to her, but if I died that day, Farrell I'll have something to rely on."

"Eichenwald?"

Reinhardt next to him thought for a while, and realized that this word was both profound and heartbreaking. So far, where did all the nightmares originate from.

"Why is she there?"

"The reason is not clear, but I saw with my own eyes that a robot that should have been broken and irreparable broke out of the ground." McCree looked at Reinhardt and said, "I don't know what will happen if it continues to develop."

Watching everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but I still don't quite believe what McCree said. During the first intelligent machine war, all the robots were destroyed. It is impossible to revive them to such a dilapidated level. Reaper is also a member of Talon, so it's no wonder they don't want to believe it. What if this is a trick to turn the tiger away from the mountain?

"We can't trust you completely, Reyes." Morrison, the watch captain, said.

"If the intelligent machine can copy itself, it will be in big trouble, Morrison, don't you understand? How can you trust me!?"

When the god of death asked this sentence angrily, Morrison remained silent, and none of the watchmen behind him dared to speak.

"you--"

Seeing them like this, God of Death felt angry and a little sad in his heart. He turned around and pulled McCree to leave. At this moment, Anna suddenly pulled the cloak of God of Death. Seeing Anna's expectant eyes looking up.

"I am willing to go with you, no matter what, I will rescue my daughter."

"Anna..." Reaper turned around, and his tone began to ease. He didn't expect that when he was isolated and helpless, there would still be people willing to believe him. If someone was willing to give him a hand when he was still in the shadow watch, he might It should not be the choice to cooperate with Talon.

"Eh? Wait, Anna, I'd like to go with you!" Reinhardt hurriedly said behind when he heard that Anna was leaving. Because of Reinhardt's words, some people began to waver and followed the two. The old seniors are more honorable things, and they all want to join the team.

Reaper stared blankly at the group of people who were about to walk with him, feeling like he was back in Overwatch, when he hadn't put on a mask or cape.

"you--"

"Ahem, let me tell you first, if you dare to lie to us, I will take the lead in smashing your head with a gun." Morrison said with a light cough, and Death gave him a disdainful look.

"No matter what I do, I will never lie to people about this kind of thing." Death said, "I will take you there, but be careful on the way, because Angela is no longer the original Angela."

There was icy white gas floating in front of the test bench, and the temperature in the entire laboratory was very low. Angela was concentrating on putting the steel wings into Farrell's body bit by bit, and then putting the catheters on Farrell's body one by one. It's exciting to be rooted in steel armor and watch your own artwork come to life.

It was not until the last piece of armor was safely placed in Faree's knee that Angela took off the gloves and mask she had worn for a long time, and stopped the machine that made the air conditioner. All she had to do now was to wait for Farrell to wake up , her tail waving gently behind her, she hooked her red lips with her hand, thinking about how to explain to this warrior with a new body why she was transformed into this way.

Angela turned around and looked at the objects in the two glass jars on her side. She walked slowly, and just when she was about to touch the glass surface, a cold laughter came from behind her. She turned her head and saw a The guy wearing an eagle mask and a black cloak was hiding on the door frame. She couldn't see the other person's expression, but she was sure that this guy must be smiling disdainfully.

"What are you doing here?" Angela spread her wings vigilantly, her blood-red eyes fixed on the uninvited guest, "I don't want to see you now."

"I'll be very sad if you say that, sweetheart." The visitor didn't take off his eagle mask, and gently stroked his chest with his hands. The disgusting contralto, Angie Frowning tightly, he remained silent.

"And it's not nice of you to treat your employer like that, huh?"

The other party came to Angela's side and wanted to put his hand on Angela's shoulders. Angela turned around and knocked off the other party's hand. Er Zhishi grabbed Angela's neck with one hand, pushed her against the glass jar, and looked down at her.

"I can now stop everything you've done so far!"

"Do not--"

Angela grabbed the opponent's hand with both hands, and the opponent grabbed her neck very hard, almost strangling her neck, but she still looked at him with extreme dissatisfaction.

"Think about it, if it weren't for me, would you be able to create so many things? You never dared to think about these things." The eagle mask guy raised his hand, and let Angela look at the zombie-like creatures outside the window. robot.

"Shut up...I don't want to listen..."

"And you just cling to these two things that you think are important." The woman said.

"Shut your mouth!" Angela suddenly stretched her leg and kicked the opponent away, then stood up, "I promise you to do everything well, but that doesn't include you pointing at me here!"

The woman wearing the eagle mask still continued to say unrelentingly after hearing this:

"Think of the soldiers who died innocently for your parents, Angela."

"Those people didn't die because of my parents at all, they died long ago.

"Oh yes, honey, who would want their body to be used in cruel experiments?" The eagle mask turned his head slightly, looking at the mecha body on Faree lying on the test bench.

"It's not me who picks up dead soldiers from the battlefield without Talon's knowledge."

"You hold the corpses of these heroes just to revive your parents. Do you really think you are noble?" The other party sneered, "We are grasshoppers on the same rope, Dr. Ziegler."

Angela was surprised to be silent when she heard this. The eagle mask glanced at the two giant glass jars containing objects behind Angela, and said

"As far as I know, a group of well-trained soldiers are slowly approaching Eichenwalde. If you don't speed up, you and your secret will be revealed to the public, and you will have no way to escape."

"Including you, damn bitch."

"hope so."

When the eagle mask finished saying this sentence, a black mist suddenly disappeared in the air. Angela watched the other party disappear, and her tense nerves just slowly relaxed. Farrell woke up, she remembered the sentence that guy said just now.

[Who would want his body to be used in cruel experiments? 】

"I just want the person I love the most to stay by my side forever. Is this wrong? Faree, can you tell me? What should I do so that you and I can live forever?"

"Um……"

Lena, who was in a drowsy sleep, squinted her eyes under the glare of the sun outside the window, and gently covered her forehead with her hands. Her back was a little stiff from sleeping. She turned around slightly and saw a sleeping man next to her. Lena rubbed her eyes to make sure that she was not mistaken. The other person seemed to be asleep. The sound of steady breathing came. Lena remembered what happened last night. She seemed unwilling to let Emily leave. , so I threw the other party down and stopped the other party. At that time, the atmosphere became more and more intense, and the two began to kiss and embrace——

Lina thought of this, and then lifted the quilt to look at her naked body, blushing instantly, and then glanced at Emily's slender back, which was so sexy that it was hard to resist.Lena lay down and approached each other cautiously. Emily's long hair was scattered on the bed. She picked up a strand and put it in her hand to play with. The other hand gently held Emily's arm, and then moved towards The opponent's palm fumbled in the past.

Just when she was about to touch the other's palm, the other's hand took the initiative to hold her own. In fact, Emily hadn't fallen asleep. She had always known about Lena's movements, but she didn't think of Lena's Just wanting to hold my palm and fall asleep with me, such a careful thought is extraordinarily warm.

"Emily!"

Lena happily embraced Emily's body and laughed happily. Emily came back to her senses and looked at Lena's face quietly. She hadn't felt such emotion for a long time. Ever since she put her soul After being betrayed to Talon, she was happy to be able to return to human emotions instead of being a killing machine.

Emily hugged Lena's waist with one hand, touched the other's hair with the other hand, then raised Lena's chin, and pressed a deep kiss on Lena's lips. Lena was tempted, Following Emily's kiss, she stuck out her tongue to tease each other's white teeth, and the two hugged each other tightly, sniffing each other's scent and biting each other's body.

Just when Emily was about to proceed to the next step, there was a knock on the door of her temporary residence. Emily and Lena stopped at the same time and heard a voice outside the door.

"Emily Lacroix, are you there? I'm Winston." The familiar voice came, and Emily took back Lena's hand, then jumped out of bed and put on a shirt , and walked towards the door, Lina sat on the bed sullenly because her good things were interrupted, and pulled the quilt unhappily.

"Hi Winston, what's the matter?"

Emily folded her arms and opened the door a little, leaning against the frame and looking at Winston.

"I don't know if you have seen Tracer? I just looked for her for a long time but couldn't find her. I was wondering if she was with you."

"I haven't seen her." Emily said, and when she was about to close the door, Winston pressed the door with his hand, "Is there anything else?"

"The reason I'm looking for Tracer is because she's going on a mission in a few days, and I hope you'll go there too."

"Me?" Emily didn't recover when she heard this sentence. She belongs to Talon, how could she be able to accept the mission in Overwatch?

"I know what you're thinking, but it's difficult to do this without well-trained soldiers." Winston pushed his glasses and said.

"I don't even know what the mission is, so I won't agree to it." Emily said, "What's more, I'm no longer a member of Overwatch."

"Let's go ahead and talk."

After Winston finished speaking, he was about to push the door open. It was too late for Emily to stop it. As soon as Winston stepped into Emily's temporary residence, there was a loud scream from inside. Tracer hugged her tightly with his hands. Sleeping under the quilt, he looked in horror at Winston who was facing him.

"Tracer!?"

Lena sitting on the chair was simply fidgeting. Emily was sitting on her left, and Winston was sitting on the right. She was caught in the middle. Seeing Lena's embarrassed look, Winston pretended to be He coughed lightly indifferently, then glanced at Emily, who was fine, and said:

"That's how things are. Lena needs to join the battle as a member of Overwatch, and you, I think you can think about it." Winston scratched his head, "It's not just me saying that, Reyes also wants to You fight together."

Emily took a sip of the coffee that had just been poured on the table, and was a little interested in Winston's words, "It's about that guy, so I can't refuse."

"And the focus of this matter is not only about Anna's daughter Farrell. If the robot in Eichenwald is really resurrected as Reyes said, the world will fall into chaos again."

Emily nodded slightly when she heard that, but she still didn't quite believe that the robot would be resurrected. What made her more concerned was why Angela made such a move in Eichenwalde?Although she used to suspect that Angela left Overwatch to join Talon secretly because of something else, it seems that this is indeed the case now.

"Emily, will you come with me?"

For a long time, Lena, who had been sitting beside her without speaking, looked at Emily and asked.

"I don't want to go with you." Emily glanced at Lena and said, then turned her head and smiled at Winston, but Lena didn't see it. Getting lower and lower.

"Here's the thing, you have to get ready quickly and leave at any time." Winston glanced at his watch and left, while Lena still looked at Emily's back when she closed the door, and secretly made a decision.

Angela is holding a recovery needle in her hand. Today is the day that Ferrell should wake up. As that person said, if someone is already approaching Eichenwalde, she should make full preparations in advance, just resurrecting The mechanical soldiers are not enough to compete with that group of people. If Farrell has the ability to fight, it will be very different.

"Don't hate me. I gave you a new body and an immortal life. When you know all this, you should thank me for my selflessness." Angela said while facing Farrell on the test bench. , while trying the needle in her hand, she brushed away the hair from Farrell's neck, exposing the other's neck, pinpointed the blood vessel, and inserted the needle in. The liquid in the needle was pushed little by little until all After the push, Angela watched Faruier start to tremble slightly, and Faruier's fingers began to move slightly, and then Angela looked at the other person's eyes, which also showed signs of blinking. She took a step back and saw Faruier According to the reaction of my body, a brand new human will come into the world. Will she bring disaster or hope?

"Um……"

Faree's eyes gradually opened, and her blurred vision made it difficult for her to see everything in front of her. She blinked vigorously, trying to see what was going on, but her body's intuition told her that she was lying on the bed now, and she slowly Sitting up slowly, she saw a woman next to her, she looked at this woman, she couldn't figure out who it was, she seemed to know the other person's name, and she seemed to have no way to shout out, she knew everything that happened before, But there is no way to connect the memory in series.

"You, do you remember me?"

Angela tentatively asked, she knew that this operation is very large, and there will be transient amnesia, which is not surprising, many people who underwent this operation died, so she chose to use dead people for experiments, and she compared living people and After so many experiments on the dead, only Faree saw hope in the body, which can be said to be a piece of art of his own.

"You are—" Farrell looked at the other person, unable to call out the other person's name, she felt sorry, "I'm sorry, I really want to forget a lot of things, but I remember who you are, and I know why .”

"In fact, if you can't remember clearly, it may be a good thing for you now." Angela said, "You are my subordinate, I gave you a brand new body and an immortal life, you should work hard for me, you know? "

Angela instilled a different concept in Farrell before Farrell remembered everything, hoping that she could obey her and prevent her experimental product from destroying everything she had imagined.

"Although I don't know what it is, but if you hired me, I should obey your orders, because this is the regulation of 'Hynix International Security Company'."

Angela remembered that when Farrell did not join Overwatch, Overwatch had already disbanded. Farrell, who wanted to maintain world peace, joined the Hynix security company. Using this, he should be able to gain the other party's trust, Angela Follow Farrell's words.

"Yes, I am an employer, and you must protect my interests."

"I'm willing to fight for you."

Farrell jumped down from the test bench and made a salute gesture to Angela. When she said this, her heart ached for some reason. Everything seemed wrong, but she I can't tell what's wrong, maybe it's her own worrying, I hope this is just a normal job.

Just when Farrell finished speaking, she didn't know why there was a huge explosion sound outside the window. She thought for a while, went to the bed and pulled open the curtain vigorously. The border of virtue is faster than she expected.

"It's time to wake up, my servants!"
