Start with a Mechanical Hunter

   Chapter 199 Outer City

  There is not only one clone. On the screen, more than a dozen similar-looking clones are either excited, cooing, or pretending to be stable, and under the service of beautiful women in luxury cars, they are heading for a castle-like place.

  The castle is surrounded by a green photo studio.

   "The ratings of the last episode of Channel 4's 'Overbearing President Falls in Love with Me' was not high, so this time they plan to play something exciting."

  The smoking youth pointed to the number of people at the top left of the screen, it was 13.

   "After this show, this number will become 1."

   "To be honest, it's not interesting. It's better to watch the Fugitive Game on Cloud TV. Put those freaks selected from the colony into a death game and let them kill each other. That's bloody, violent, and powerful!"

  The senior engineer glanced out the window. The electronic rain fell from the sky and hit the window. The electronic rain is different from ordinary rain. Once it falls on something, it will produce a "same color effect".

   For a time, gray rain, bronze rain, and red rain splashed everywhere, gorgeous and wonderful.

   The car was quiet again.

   After a while, the smoking youth spoke again.

   "Because the butcher gave extra money this time, I decided to give you a few free survival guides for the city that never sleeps. Of course, listen to you or not."

   "Tell me," said the senior engineer, turning his head.

   "First, never trust ads, don't click on any ads, that stuff is a deal for big companies."

   "Second, you can kill, rob, or go to jail. The only thing is, don't violate the laws of Mechanical City."

   "Isn't it illegal to kill?" Ono said blankly.

   The young man who smoked cigarettes ignored the other party and stretched out his third finger.

   "Article 3, you can offend anyone, don't offend cyber hackers."

   "Very useful advice."

  The senior engineer agreed, then closed his eyes and stayed at the bottom of the boat where the sun could not see the sun for almost 10 days. Even he was a little mentally exhausted.

   Only the sound of snoring and the tickling of rain came from time to time.

   After an unknown time, I heard the voice of the young man smoking again, "It's time to go to the city."

The senior engineer opened his eyes and found that Ono's head was almost sticking out of the window. He saw a huge virtual projection slowly stretching her figure. This super beautiful girl was wearing a halter top and had pink hair. The facial features are impossibly delicate, and a finger is lightly pressed against the pink lips.

   "Aidolu's 999th live-action interactive concert, welcome to Pink Paradise~"

   Not only Ono, but even the younger brother at the top looked straight.

'Ding--'

  [You are affected by the subconscious control technology, in the will judgment, your will exceeds 30 points]

  [The judgment is successful, you complete the exemption for 'Virtual Idol Aidoru']

   "Who is this girl?" The executive's younger brother asked dumbly.

  Ono was refreshed, "Aiduolu, the most successful simulacrum idol in the virtual world, has 15 top technical functions such as advanced intelligence, human-computer interaction, tactile adjustment, and perfect personality, and is a symbol of new life."

   "It would be nice if I could sleep with her."

   Ono blushed: "How can you be so dirty."

   The senior brother cast a glance at Ono's crotch and snorted disdainfully, and Ono's face turned even redder.

   "I remember someone said that the purpose of entering the city is to enjoy the experience of going through the clouds with idols. That person is not you, right?"

  The Beetle passed Aiduolu's feet, and the three of them looked up almost at the same time, but unfortunately there was a cloud-like mosaic above.

   "What a thick horse," the senior engineer sighed, "it's just imaginative."

   "By the way, have you installed a cochlea?" The cigarette-smoking youth suddenly asked.

   "What is the cochlea?" Ono asked dumbly.

  The young man smoking cigarette pointed to his ear, the base of the ear had obviously undergone transformation, and there were soundproof walls in circles.

   "Remember, to live in the city that never sleeps, three transformations must be done."

   "Ear modification, eye modification, reproductive system modification, if you don't do these three kinds of modification, even if you are the son of the colonial governor, you can't stop the weirdness in this city."

   "Since you don't have a cochlea, then cover your ears, it's a journey anyway."

   "Cover... ears?"

   The executive brother turned back and found that the senior engineer and Ono in the back seat obediently blocked their ears.

   The next moment, the virtual figures turned into crowds and crashed into the car.

  'Hello, Beautiful Internet sincerely invites you to experiment with the 'moral template', which is a necessary stage to move towards a great society. ’

   A beauty in a suit with purple lipstick bent down slightly, revealing a large smear of whiteness.

  ‘Deep Image invites you to do top-level facial features design, reshape your image, and reshape your beauty. ’

  ‘Nikon Pi implant allows you to have a high-precision vision, as well as the function of visual undressing. ’

  'Is your kidney not good? Is your waist bad? Are you low on energy? Synthetic gland extract, let you forget all your troubles. ’

  'The latest model of virtual experience machine has added the right to use the portraits of 106 male and female stars. Do you want to go to Wushan with your idol? ’

   The executive's younger brother was stunned, and was suddenly overwhelmed by the wave of visuals. In his fantasy, he seemed to be a big man. Countless female secretaries, female subordinates, and female stars whispered to him in his ears, and his soul floated to the sky.

   When he came back to his senses, he found Gaogong and Ono staring at him.

   "What, what's wrong?"

   "You just said 'yes' and 'agree' many times."

   The executive's younger brother stayed for a while, and found that the memory just now was very vague, and only one electronic contract appeared in the memory.

   "You are finished, sixteen contracts, unless you are the son of Shenwang, or wait to sell yourself." The Yanyan youth gloated.

   "This, this, can these contracts be cancelled?"

   Seeing the various harsh conditions in these contracts, the younger brother of the executive has the heart to die.

"sure."

   In the hopeful eyes of the executive's younger brother, the cigarette-smoking youth took out a pistol from the storage bag.

   "If you commit suicide now, you can still cancel the contract. Once the contract enters the execution period, you can't die, because this is a violation of the contract."

   Looking at the muzzle with jet black metallic luster, the senior executive brother swallowed and shivered.

  Ono couldn't bear to say: "This big brother, don't you have a relative who is a high-level virtual real estate buyer? Let him think of a way."

   "Yes, I still have a big brother, I can ask him to help me."

   I don’t know why, but this is quite unconvincing.

The young man who smoked cigarettes suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car at an intersection. The highway was crowded with people, and everyone seemed to be driven by a dog. Although the anti-gravity taxi did not start, the sound of the wind was not. It was the howling of ghosts and wolves, which, combined with the gloomy weather, was particularly terrifying.

   "How is it, isn't heaven fun?" The cigarette-smoking youth grinned.

   Ono and the executive brother looked at each other. For some reason, not long after entering the city, he felt very tired.

   "Get off the expressway and go forward, you will find the Lower Midtown, which is both an enterprise zone and a safety zone."

   "For the sake of your obedience, I'll give you one last piece of advice. Don't go to the old city if you're afraid of death, and don't go to the outer city if you're going to die."

  The young man who smoked the cigarette flicked the cigarette **** out, and the ground automatically cracked open and sucked the cigarette **** in.

  Then this one turned the head of the car and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​cars.

  Through the window, you could see what Ono and the senior executive brother had said. It seemed that they had a disagreement. After a while, the two ran in two directions against the rain, and soon disappeared into the vast rain.

   We met by chance, the senior engineer didn't plan to say anything more, he touched his arm, "It's a bit cold."

   This is a wet cold, not a dry cold.

   "The environment is like this, you will get used to it after a while," the young man handed over a document, which was actually a rare paper material.

   "The important things are here. Now these old projects are getting fewer and fewer. You may be the last batch."

The    folder contains a chip insert, a key, a photo, and a stack of documents.

   The content of the information is "About the placement of children of employees of the Machinery City"

   "Isn't it a business?"

   "No, there are reemployment places for family members of the company, which have been robbed long ago."

  The senior engineer picked up the photo again. It was a pale girl. What caught the eye was her big and white eyes, the same style as Sadako.

   As for age, it's about sixteen years old.

   Anyway, being a daughter is definitely not possible.

  The senior engineer picked up the chip again.

   "This is your electronic ID card. You can install an implant hole for yourself and insert it into it to keep you safe at night."

  The senior engineer looked up and looked at the city center that was getting farther and farther away.

   "Aren't we going to the city center?"

   "Upper and Midtown is the main brain area, and Lower Midtown is the corporate area. Private body modification is illegal in most urban areas. Do you want to be checked for water meters?"

   "Then it's not illegal where we go?"

   "Of course the outer city and the old city are not illegal, they are free zones."

   "So are we going to the old city or the outer city now?"

   "Outer City."

   "Oh, the place to die."

   Gradually, the highway became more and more tortuous, and there were more and more strange buildings. It seemed to the senior engineers that the place had not been planned at all.

"The place you went to is Hanging Neck Street. Although it is in the outer city, it is very close to the old city. Don't run around if you have nothing to do. The underground clinic prepared for you is there, and the one you adopted also lives there. "

   "Try to mix in the outer city. Although there are many gangs there, they generally don't attack the prosthetic doctor. The old city is different. There are more monsters there, so I will send you here."

   The young man stepped on the brakes, parked the car in front of a mobile booth, set the car to automatic driving, and got out of the car.

  The Beetle reversed and went back the same way.

   "Are you going with me?" asked the senior engineer.

   "Forget it, as I am, I am worried about being hacked to death," the young man held the pistol and smiled: "Anyway, welcome to the city that never sleeps."

   then aimed the muzzle at the temple, and with a 'bang', a corpse fell down.

   The street vendor not far from his eyes lit up, hurriedly trotted over, and shouted: "Boy, whoever sees it has a share, you get half of my score for this mature adult row!"

  The senior engineer turned over the other's head, but did not see the brain-computer socket, frowned, and muttered to himself.

   "Human brain hacking? I didn't expect it to be a cyber hacker."
