"Refeng, you did say that just now."
Meteor squatted on the stone steps and had no intention of getting up and leaving immediately.
"I owe a debt? Four thousand five hundred dollars?"
[That's the price of using venom, you pay and it does the job, that's fair. ]
Meteor frowned and looked down at the other solvents in the incubator. According to this calculation, as long as he is alive in Shinto City, he will spend money every minute.
[Forty-eight hours, including sleep time, you will spend 4,500, one hundred and eighty-seven dollars and a half per hour, three dollars and a quarter and a half per minute, every breath, every thought, you are there Spend money. ]
[As long as you rely on venom to survive, you have to keep making money. ]
Meteor fiddled with other solutions in the incubator and asked without thinking: "What if I drink all these things and still don't make any money?"
[Then you will be in debt. ]
"What if I pay off this debt?"
[If you fail to repay on time, interest will be calculated. If the interest is not paid, after a period of time, which may be very long or very short - [Eternal Life] will investigate you and determine whether you are a beast or a baby. ]
[Because in Shinto City, people who cannot create value for society and cannot enter the industrial system to work can only be classified as beasts and babies. ]
[If you become a beast, you will enter the blissful space. [Sun Patrol] will come to take over your physical body, and your spirit, your spirit body will go to a cyberspace, live there forever, and become an electronic museum. Exhibits. ]
It was hard for Meteor to imagine. He couldn't understand what kind of endless hell it was just by relying on Refeng's words.
[If you don’t understand, your eldest brother has a wonderful spiritual power called [Fragrant Dream], right? ]
Meteor nodded with a heavy heart.
"Yes..."
[The Blissful Space is like another fragrant dream, but it is a special area created by the neural networks of many different Homo sapiens, where people gain eternal freedom and tranquility. ]
[You won’t even know when you entered [Elysian Space]. Before that, they will install [Ascension Module] on you. When you were caught by [Night Watch], they injected you with three injections. Liquid medicine. ]
[The first injection is normal saline, used to test the fluid flow of your body tissues. ]
[The second shot is an anesthetic that takes your consciousness out of your physical body. ]
[The third shot is a muscle relaxant, which makes you unable to breathe on your own, and your cardiopulmonary system gradually shuts down. ]
[Actually, there is a fourth injection, which is chloride. This is a standard execution procedure. The moment before you die, [Changshi] will save your Riemannian thinking model, and you will become a member of the Shinto City History Museum. Exhibits. ]
Hearing this, Meteor broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that he was only one step away from death.
[I saved you, [Nightwatch] thought you were a beast, but I modified your arm without authorization, allowing you to possess venom and become a legal citizen of Shinto City. ]
[If you can't repay your debt, you will only be treated as a baby and need to be re-educated and re-learned. ]
Meteor pushed himself up and went to take a look outside the alley. Now every minute, he would lose one hundred and eighty-seven yuan - time is money, and he had to do several things at the same time.
As he walked, he listened carefully to the guidance of the hot wind.
[As for this re-education and re-learning, it also costs money. ]
[The basic medical insurance services you owed before, such as these six electrolyte solutions, cost a total of 27,000 yuan. If this amount with the principal reaches a maximum of 30,000 yuan, the medical insurance circuit breaker will be triggered. ]
[You will be taken to the [Classic Human] school in the [Japan Patrol] unit. In this school, you will receive skills training until you are qualified for a certain position and create value for society. ]
The moment he stepped out of the alleyway, Meteor was blinded by the lights of the main road. He hid his face on guard. After a few seconds, he felt that the people around him were coming and going like the wind, and they all seemed to be in a hurry. The warning of hot wind still rings in my ears.
[Of course, this costs money. This tuition fee needs to go through a mortgage process. If you can't pay it now, you can use part of your memory to mortgage it. ]
Meteor has no time to pay attention to Hot Wind’s guidance——
——When he came back to his senses, he stared at the people coming and going on the sidewalk, and he had many longing thoughts in his heart.
How is this going?
Not to say...
Didn’t it mean that Shinto City was abandoned?
This place suffered a natural disaster and turned into ruins fifty years ago.
But now...
——He saw people on both sides of the street looking straight ahead without any hesitation. Their eyes were bright and clear, and they were wearing simple clothes with strong symbols.
Looking from under the sign with the city number of Xiao Guandong, most of the people walking towards the southwest street are in suits and suits. The men are wearing ties, holding their briefcases, and holding a bottle of electrolyte solvents of different flavors in the other hand. Use it as supplies and as necessary energy for work.
Women wore office suits with shirts and skirts, and flocked to the transportation hub and office buildings on the northeast side.
No one spoke a word. They followed the security instructions and rushed to their respective workstations.
For a moment, Meteor was a little panicked. He didn't know how to deal with this crowd. He saw too many things - too many.
The low-altitude rail car in the distant hub has just started. It is the maglev high-speed train from Xiaoguandong to No. 2 Chiba Prefecture. It is like a green dragon and disappears with a whoosh.
Higher and further away, on the building of the [Changshi] Government Affairs Center, a row of scroll screens tilted down from the roof. The virtual image of Matsushima Seiko emerged from the screen, waving kindly to every citizen.
The mottled phantom lights and real people with flesh and blood all make Meteor begin to doubt, is he really living in the real world?
[It's true, Bu Meteor. ]
[This is true, this is the first agency in Kanto County, Shinto City, and the street number is No. 141. ]
[According to the usual custom, they like to put newborns here. When you come to this street and see the bustling street scene, you see the high-rise buildings and the tall tower that connects heaven and earth in the distance. They should be able to adapt to this pace of life and recognize the way Shinto City operates. ]
Meteor: "Why don't they speak? I feel like they don't look like humans..."
Just as Meteor describes, not only the citizens coming and going, but also the sanitation workers working under various ultraviolet headlights have no intention of communicating. They just pruning broad-leaved vegetation and climbing high buildings to plant spider plants.
Except different shoes, different boot heels hitting complex notes on the floor.
The image of Seiko Matsushima is constantly changing. It is a virtual projection shaped by sound waves and fine sand. Against the background of these roaring noises, there is no human language in this world.
[Because they are all asleep, they are living in [Elysium Space], walking like meteors. ]
Meteor kept up with the turbulent flow of people. He caught up with one of the passers-by and carefully observed the passer-by's expression——
——This little brother, like the others, stared straight ahead with a clear goal and could not tolerate any hesitation. When he came to the hub, he immediately extended the venom on his right arm to the traffic checkpoint. After passing the checkpoint, he immediately got into the diversion elevator. He soon disappeared.
"Are they asleep? Passed by? What do you mean? Hot wind..."
Meteor looked left and right, passing countless people beside him. As the morning rush hour passed by, all the office workers were gone. When he was the only one left, he followed the main road to the riverside.
[Most of the office workers you see have purchased hosting services. Artificial intelligence can help you work, control your body, examine your brain, use your talents, complete 100% of the physical work, and complete 78% of the tasks. Brain work. ]
[Artificial intelligence will not be lazy. They will overcome various difficulties and obstacles and remain highly focused. They are excellent production tools. ]
[During this period, you can go to [Elysium Space] for a vacation, such as appreciating other people's artistic creations, playing in another world, building your own virtual space, or visiting other people's virtual spaces - go to the Electronic Museum to observe the beasts lifetime. ]
[As I said before, there is no death in the traditional sense in Shinto City. If you are very poor, [Changshi] will try its best to help you get out of poverty and make you debt. If not, you will go to another world and be with [Elysium Space] ] people become friends. ]
】
[The boundary between life and death will become blurry. If you become a beast in the electronic museum, maybe someone will take a fancy to you, and they will redeem you and reshape your physical form - you will be alive again. ]
[This is the reincarnation cycle of Shinto Castle. ]
The inland river of Xiaoguandong is close to the mouth of Yong'an County.
The city exudes colorful phantom lights. Under the tide, there seems to be another unknown bustling city.
Meteor watched all this quietly until an elite unit from the [Japan Patrol] came to him.
Japanese patrol detective: "Your Excellency Bu Ryusei?"
Axing was startled, and he followed the sound and looked over——
——That man looked almost exactly the same as the executioner of [Night Patrol]. This scene made him feel on guard, and almost immediately, he secreted excess adrenaline from his body.
The venom mechanism on the right arm releases nanomachines and turns into a layer of flexible mesh cloth, turning into nanoarmor, and Hot Wind also enters alert mode.
The criminal policeman on the Japanese patrol raised his hands and took two steps back.
"No! I have no offensive intention! I just want to ask a few things! Your Excellency Bu Liuxing!"
Ah Xing gasped——
——He could feel that Hot Wind hated these notes very much.
"I am different from the [Night Patrol] law enforcer who captured you. We are the same batch of [Angel Babies], clones of the same template, but I can guarantee that at this moment, I will not hurt you—— Lord Bu Liuxing."
The police officer on the Japanese patrol explained angrily.
"I am responsible for the security of the Xiaoguandong District 1, from the [Changshi] Administration Office to the [Forty-Three Pillars]. It is working time now. I saw you wandering around here. Didn't you find a job?"
Bu Liuxing: "How do you know my name? Are you familiar with me?"
[Meteor Boy, everyone in this city, as long as they have venom in their hands, there are no secrets to the six major departments. They know who you are. ]
Japanese patrol detective: "I am willing to be friends with you. Your life experience is a valuable asset to [Changshi] - it can bring many contributions to this society."
Meteor couldn't understand the implication of the iron-shaped android, so he just remained vigilant and backed away slowly step by step.
Japanese patrol detective: "Your Excellency Bu Liuxing, your venom should point out the way for you, right? It will tell you what to do next. It will analyze your essence, analyze your mental state, and arrange a plan for you." It’s a job, right?”
Bu Liuxing was about to speak...
[Brother, don’t turn me in, I’m illegal. ]
Axing nodded: "Yes..."
Japanese patrol detective: "Then where are you going next? I can give you a ride."
Axing: "I..."
[Be a fitness coach and help people improve their physical quality. ]
Axing: "I want to be a fitness coach..."
The Japanese patrol officer was beaming with joy, and the smile spread out from his three-dimensional and tough face, which made Meteor's scalp tingle - that kind of smile really meant he was happy from the bottom of his heart, and passionate emotions could not be deceived.
"We really need such a teacher. If your knowledge can enter [the eternal world] and every soldier is as strong as you, that would be the best thing. If that is the case, I will not disturb your lessons and Practice, should I leave first?”
[Ignore him, he will leave on his own, don't say unnecessary words. ]
The meteor stopped moving.
The police officer on the Japanese patrol covered his heart with one hand, bowed to Ah Xing and thanked him, then called the drone and flew away.
Meteor's legs were weak, and he could hardly breathe in the face of the violent mechanism.
After the night patrol executioner knocked Brother Ping'an to his knees, Meteor had such a demon in his heart. He couldn't think of a way to defeat these androids.
When the drone flew over just now, you could still see the weapons backpack in the center of the six-sided rotors. It's not just the firepower displayed by the executioner.
Meteor: "Refeng...you seem to hate these guys..."
[If there were many people living in this world with your face and your body, would you like these guys? ]
Meteor: "What do you mean?"
[Typical human, also called classic human - most of the babies born in this medical and educational institution look the same. They are clones. According to different genetic blueprints, they correspond to outstanding warriors, scholars, artists, and educators in history. Scientists, scientific researchers, etc. come to create human beings. ]
[These babies are called [angel babies], they are clones cultivated from artificial wombs. The violent mechanisms used by the six major departments and the human resources model of the soldiers came from me, the hot wind boy. ]
[The night patrol executioner who cut off Luo Ping'an's arm is the living undead I left in this city. ]
[The stinky idiot who broke your arm is my son. ]
[The detective who stopped you just now and asked you to go to work quickly is also my clone. ]
[If you let them know that I, Hot Wind, am still alive in your arm, you will be wanted at the highest level. ]
Meteor: "Were you a fucking heinous criminal before? A super soldier?"
[meteor. We got together by fate. Now [Changshi] doesn't understand what you have in your hands, but these guys are very humanitarian, and they won't do anything to you until you prove your identity for me. ]
Meteor: "You used to be a criminal, right?"
[…]
Bu Liuxing: "Refeng, what do you want me to do? What do you want to use me for? My brother Ming said, pie will not fall in the sky, you help me, I will help you, this is a good thing - but if we are involved Other complicated things become very bad.”
The small Guandong area alone is enough for Meteor to wander around for a while.
Not to mention a virtual world like [Elysium Space], if he wanted to walk through the city with more than 20 main roads in this area, he would have to learn for a while. Without the help of hot wind and the guidance of venom, this city would be very difficult for him. For Homo sapiens, it is a steel jungle. Human beings without modification are indeed babies and beasts.
[I want revenge, brother. ]
[I want to smash this city to pieces and overturn it from the inside out. ]
[I once had a wife, and I had a lover. She was a rose in the fire. We had a revolutionary friendship of living and dying together. ]
Axing: "You must be very happy."
[In this era, anyone in [Elysium] can fall in love with her, anyone can take a copy of her home, anyone can do it. Now my wife is like the subway - the passenger flow increases sharply during holidays. ]
Axing: "What the hell you said is so immoral, Buddha will never forgive you."
[I am a fun person, but I didn’t expect that I would become a fun person. ]
Axing: "Then what?"
[Tell me what you are going to do? ]
Axing said fiercely.
"I want to find my brother wolf. Xueming entrusted Ah Hei to me. I can't leave him. I also have to find brother Ping An, and then chop off an arm of the night patrol executioner. I must avenge this." .”
[The time you spend here, converted into money...]
Axing: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me how to make money. I have to go to work, right?"
[Don’t think about working. Is there any wage earner in the world who has made a fortune? You have great collateral, it must be worth a lot of money, we need to find a place to settle down first. ]
[Let’s go to the bank first. ]
