StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

While "Company C" was littered with mechanical wreckage, the "Company B" that "弎" and "七" were jointly conquering had a completely different style.

The two of them lay in the ventilation duct, looking through the vents at the red light flashing from time to time in the dark corridor below. "Qi" was silently calculating the walking logic and time taken by these guards.

As for why this is so...it's because "Qi" and "Xie" put all their combat capabilities on "Ether Editing", and since that protest, all major companies have installed a device that can block "Ether Editing".

So...the current combat power of these two people is no longer approximately zero, it may even be negative.

Only if they shut down the equipment in "Company B" first, can they go and cause trouble for the mechanical supervisor in "Company B", otherwise it would be a waste of time.

"弎" looked at the serious-looking boy, blinked slightly, and after making sure that the mechanical guard below had left, he said: ""七"...Are you sure this is the place?"

Qi didn't say anything, tapped his earphones lightly, and then asked softly: "Brother, are you sure the switch of that thing is under this vent?"

"Also, is there really only one mechanical guard here? This is such an important place... it's impossible no matter how you look at it, right?"

"You may not believe it, but that's what the current scan data shows. Also, that's a physical switch, and there's no way to solve it on the network level. If it could be solved, you would have gone down to fight by now, right?"

"Oh, that thing is a huge semicircle. Actually, you should be able to do it by turning off the power. Why don't you try to turn it off?"

Listening to these irrelevant words, the corners of Qi's mouth twitched slightly. He always felt that his brother was sometimes really unreliable.

However, even though they may complain, the current situation does not allow them to just go down and trample on them. As the saying goes: this is seeking death, not resistance.

The only plan "Qi" could think of was... to hide in the ventilation duct first, then take the enemy by surprise, shut down the device, and then resist, killing all the way to the office that used to belong to his brother, and blow up the mechanical head sitting on the chair.

After a while, the mechanical guard below walked back and forth about three or four times. "Qi" glanced at "Xie" and said in a very small voice: "Wait until the red light moves towards the corridor, you go to the machine and turn off the switch, and I will go to deal with the mechanical guard. Do you understand?"

"弎" nodded seriously, then carefully picked up the vent and put it aside, waiting for the opportunity "七" mentioned.

The moment the mechanical guard with a laser gun in his hand walked towards the corridor, "弎" jumped out of the vent like a nimble kitten, then looked around, quickly found the huge semicircle that was running in the shadows, and began to grope for its switch in the dark.

Just as "弎" was groping for the switch, "七" also jumped down, with his back to "弎", his eyes fixed on the mechanical guard walking into the corridor, ready to use "Ether Editor" to kill the guy in front of him at any time.

In the darkness, "弎" finally groped for a button, and then pressed it without hesitation. When she heard the tiny sound of the huge semicircular machine in front of her gradually stop, she knew... she succeeded.

However, just after the machine became completely silent, "弎" suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He slowly lowered his head and saw a white spear flashing with cold light.

She slowly raised her head and wanted to scream at Qi to run away, but she couldn't say a word because... her throat had been completely cut.

In the last vision, "弎" saw his body slowly kneeling on the ground, and a man who looked exactly like "J" walked out from the shadows.

Before "弎"'s consciousness completely fell into endless darkness, the boy she was still thinking about in her heart.

"I'm sorry... "Qi"... I promised to knit a scarf for you... but now... I'm breaking my promise..."

"Qi" seemed not to hear the movement behind him. The "Ether Cassette" that had been running almost non-stop also responded at this moment, and a white virtual screen instantly appeared in front of him.

Seeing the familiar interface, the corners of Qi's mouth slightly raised, and he quickly entered a line of code. The head of the mechanical guard patrolling in the distance was instantly swallowed up by the white pixel particles, and a big hole was eroded on its chest by the pixel particles.

After the white pixel particles disappeared, the mechanical guard disappeared on the spot, as if it had never existed in this world. Only the laser gun that fell to the ground seemed to indicate what had happened here.

After solving the problem, "Qi" turned back confidently, and was about to give a thumbs up to "Xie" behind him, then said with a smile: "Let's go, take back my brother's position, and retrieve sister "Shi"'s research materials..."

"Qi" hadn't finished speaking yet. When he turned around, the girl who he imagined looking at him with a gentle smile did not appear. All he saw was... a headless corpse lying on the ground, and a head with a terrified expression.

"Qi"'s brain seemed to have crashed at this moment. He was unable to react for a while and he didn't know why.

I just turned around to deal with the mechanical guard, but how could my partner die so silently in front of me?

At this moment, the roar of "J" came from his headphones.

"Qi! Run! Go out and find K. He can deal with this clone. He has been guarding here and has not gone anywhere!"

"J"'s roar seemed to temporarily awaken "Qi"'s consciousness, and he obeyed "J"'s instructions and started to run out, but his hands never left the virtual keyboard. He kept inputting commands, allowing those white pixel dots to cover his body to defend against attacks that appeared from the darkness.

However, the imagined attack did not occur. He just ran wildly through the long corridor, with white pixel spots flashing on his body, swallowing the bullets fired by the mechanical guards.

Hearing the heavy metal collision sound behind him, Qi's heart was already beating in his throat, but looking at the hall in front of him without any defense, his face was slightly happy, but this joy did not last long, because...

There is a figure standing in front of the door that symbolizes life.

He seemed to have heard footsteps behind him, and slowly turned around, looking at the "Qi" in front of him who looked exactly like him, and said softly:

"Got you... little mouse..."
