Start with Mechanical Hunter

The fact that the senior engineer used the "Star Destroyer Weapon" to eliminate Xie's evil track may not be clear to outsiders, but no one at the top of the Sixth Department is aware of it.

Therefore, when Yagami Motoko withdrew from the Sixth Department meeting and called Hitomi, Collider, and Chappie into the office with a livid look on her face, all three of them felt that something was wrong.

"Captain, please listen to my explanation," Collider said bravely: "We don't know much about the 'Star Destroyer Weapon' either."

"When did I say that I wanted to discuss the 'Star Destroyer Weapon' with you?" Iori Motoko asked with a cold face.

"Well……"

"Listen to me, captain, that one from the Xie family brought it upon himself, who made him like to steal other people's wives," Tong said angrily. He had met Du Zhaodi once and had a good impression of her.

"Do you really think that this is a simple male species hormone secretion event? Du Zhaodi and Xie Egui, Du Hi-Tech and the Yongsheng Chaebol, the two have nothing to do with each other?"

"Well, maybe a little."

Hitomi also felt bad. In business wars between companies, the Six Divisions have always adhered to the principle of neutrality. This is one of the reasons why they can be aloof. But it seems that they have done something wrong in this matter.

Yagami Motoko's purple eyes stared at the last Chappie again.

Chappie forced a smile and said: "This is really none of my business, Captain, I don't even know what a Star Destroyer weapon is, and I'm not an old man in the department -"

Yagami Motoko's white fingers slammed on the table, and her cold expression made the three of them look like lost cats.

"The other five ministers asked me to explain to them. In the ministerial memorandum, all use of super weapons should be notified and filed in advance. This is a tacit agreement among the six ministries. Now, the Ghost in the Shell mobile department is the first to break this tacit agreement. This will inevitably lead to a series of unpredictable consequences.”

"Our department is bold in dealing with enterprises, but this does not mean that we have to set the table with our colleagues. Without the support of the other five departments, our department is alone. Now is the point where cases are frequently occurring. If other departments It’s stuck in our necks, what do you think we should do?”

Yagami Motoko scolded the three of them. Since the 'Remnant Investigation in Data Space', the number of bizarre cases on this planet has not decreased with the end of the corporate war, but has increased exponentially; false memory incidents and strange personality relocations have occurred in various places. Exploiting incidents, large-scale terrorism, global biological mutations, and hackers who have resurfaced with the help of virtual helmets...

Yagami Motoko had a vague hunch that the 'monster under the stars' mentioned by the previous minister had finally shown its flaws.

And when it was time to hire people, these three idiots caused such a big thing again, and Yagami Motoko was so angry that she wanted to beat them up, including the new minister.

"Team, Captain," the collider suddenly stretched out his hand weakly and said: "The communicator has prompted that our new minister has arrived on the other side of freedom."

…

The other side of freedom, Free Zone 3

A tall and thin man of 1.8 meters and a huge man of 3 meters were walking slowly on the street.

Looking up, you can see the empty aerial tunnels and sky elevators, and anti-gravity devices covering the streets. As soon as you think about it, you can 'fly' to another street. There are no neon lights flashing. Instead, there is a public consciousness storage center, and people enter from time to time. Among them, upload consciousness.

Turn around another street and there is a public body repair center.

Artificially bred flowerbeds are everywhere, and birds flock from time to time, being fed by ladies walking with mechanical bionic dogs. The air is also exceptionally fresh, unlike the outside world, which always has a turbid radiation aura.

The sky is blue and clear, and there is a sun hanging high in the sky. Although I know it is an ecological simulation, the sun is still warm when it shines on me.

The passers-by here are also beautiful and seem to have arrived in the "Star World". The number of bionic people here accounts for 90%.

The Thought Police, whose bodies are transparent, and the Memory Police, whose bodies emit white light, patrol almost every street. While ensuring the safety of the mind, they are ready to restore memories at any time.

Yes, on the other side of freedom, there is the ancient profession of 'police', and they are employed by the Memory Supervision Department among the six departments.

This place already falls within the protection scope of the Mother City.

"Brother Gao, are we going to live here now? It's so prosperous here!" Pang Xiang looked up at the sky. There were a lot of modified speed cars in the sky, and they were modified in various ways. He even saw one equipped with their mecha engine. 'of.

"What, you don't want to live there?"

"No," Pang Xiang scratched his head, "In my impression, the other side of freedom should be the most chaotic and the most taboo-free place, but here I feel that the security is too good, there is not even an obsessive projection advertisement. "

"The best prostitutes are always those who wear clothes." Gao Gong said meaningfully.

"But why are we here?" Pang Xiang asked puzzledly: "Brother Gao, aren't you going to be the minister?"

"Of course we are looking for a place to live, otherwise where will we live?"

"Well, Ghost in the Shell should allocate apartments. Besides, shouldn't we live in the Mother City?"

"Brother Gao, you're not a hard worker, you're the boss. Why don't you live in an apartment instead of a big villa just because it's close to the company?"

"Oh." Pang Xiang looked at Gao Gong's back, always feeling that his motives were impure and somewhat tainted.

…

Also on the other side of freedom is the largest hotel, Shenkeng Hotel.

In a hotel suite, Bird of Paradise stared out the window with squinted eyes. The window constantly simulated the external environment, including the beach and the sea, the scenery of the snow country, or the blue sky and white clouds.

As soon as the Bird of Paradise thought came to her mind, the simulated environment was fixed on the "snow country scenery". Suddenly, a burst of cold air blew from the window, followed by artificial snowflakes, which fell on her shoulders and hands.

But Bird of Paradise knows that this is just 'visual simulation' + 'tactile simulation'.

There is nothing really outside the window.

Because the entire hotel is not built on the ground, but underground. This is a large crater made by super weapons from outer space during World War II. It is almost 10,000 meters deep. The heat in the center of the earth can naturally For energy supply, all electrical appliances in this hotel are heated by the core of the earth, including the hot springs in the hotel, which are directly diverted from underground water.

The door opened. Hiro wiped his hair and said lazily: "Sister, are you really not going to the hot spring? The quality of the water here makes me so happy. If I had known better, I would have brought Aidolu with me." coming."

"Do you remember what we came here for?" Bird of Paradise asked without looking back.

"Of course I know. I'm not just taking a bath. I won't know if I don't look at it. I'll be shocked when I see it." Hiro sat down on the bed and rubbed his calves as he said:

"After a tentative attack, I found that the virtual security defense here has actually reached the enterprise level, and there are many network defense technologies that I have never heard of in the industry."

"new technology?"

"No, I can see some traces of old code. You also know that the old man often asked us to practice ancient programming languages ​​when we were young. It feels like that, but the technology is very advanced."

"It's both ancient and advanced?" Bird of Paradise said to itself, "That means we are in the right place."

They spent a lot of effort to confirm that the ruins of Lunt City, the capital of the ancient Northern Alliance, were on the other side of freedom.

As for House 320, Third Street, East Lund District, the meeting place of this punk family is the Shenkeng Hotel.

"Don't rush to take action yet. Let the headquarters investigate the source of this 'big pit'. Anyway, there are many old guys from World War II in the headquarters, and they will always know where this big pit came from."

Hiro suddenly showed a flattering smile: "Senior Sister——"

"You notified Xiuyue and asked him to come over and help us, right?"

"Sister, you know this!? Then you agree?"

"If I don't agree, do you think you can send this message?"

The pile of quibbling words in Hiro's stomach suddenly had no room for expression. After holding it in for a moment, he turned to doubts.

"Then Senior Sister, have you reconciled with Second Senior Brother?"

"What about reconciliation? Everything he did was to please the newly appointed head of the Ghost in the Shell mobile department and to climb up. Do you think I would reconcile with him because of this?"

"Then why didn't you stop me?"

Bird of Paradise hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There are some things in the group that I haven't told you yet, but there are some things that can still be said. Recently, through certain methods, I have studied 'electronic ascension'."

"Electronic Ascension?"

"Electronic ascension is not a real ascension, otherwise those three old guys would not be gone. But thinking about it conversely, since 'electronic ascension' is not a real ascension, then 'failure of ascension' may not be a real failure."

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"It means that the old man may not be dead."

"Master is not dead!?" A Hong kicked his legs in shock and stood up.

Bird of Paradise didn't pay attention to Hong's surprise, but looked at the door and said, "You should know about this."

Xiuyue's figure appeared from the door, showing her signature fake smile: "I don't know much about this matter."

"In that case, why did you join the Humanity Experiment Department headquartered in the Fortress among the six?"

"That's probably a coincidence."

…

At the same time, in the mother city, two high-end aircraft were parked at the airport.

The two parties stepped off the aircraft almost at the same time. Both parties were representatives of the Electronic Brain Project, but one party was a representative of the Holy Brain Group and the other was a representative of Mr. G's Research Society.

Considering that Mr. G, the slut, is not here, the person in charge is Du Zhaodi, the person in charge.

Ye Da Loli is dressed in a Goth Loli outfit, but she has had a formal transformation on the surface, which makes her look very aura.

Director Du on the other side was much calmer, still wearing a standard white coat. Those who knew him thought he was from a factory, and those who didn't knew thought he was from a hospital.

The two women looked at each other with an expression of tacit understanding.

On the other hand, some people can't understand this tacit understanding.

"Xiao Yeye, you are here. I have missed you after not seeing you for so many days!"

A mindless girl waved her hands excitedly and yelled.

Ye Daluoli's face darkened.

The receptionist also had a complicated expression.

Sure enough, you guys had a tacit understanding match before.
