Good night, my little kitty.

[Part 1·Be loyal to yourself]
In the cabinet of the Five Kings Council, a series of briefings were sent from the frontline strongholds.
That was the important message Luo Pingan sent back from Shinto City Ginza Town in the form of his external incarnation.
"People hide their true feelings for some reasons, but cats don't." The boss silently recited this famous quote by Hemingway. It took off its glasses and looked forward.
It happened to see the King Hunter taking a nap on the sofa next to the fireplace, and just opened his eyes——
——The sleeping beauty finally woke up, looking in her prime. Eight years have passed since Jiang Xueming came to the Nine Realms Platform.
Eight years later, the king hunter has not aged, but his memory has always been very bad. This happens over and over again. It seems that he will never wake up, have repetitive dreams, and never get a rest.
"Sorry..." The King Hunter stood up, took the warm kettle from the grill next to the fireplace, and came to the parliament's desk.
There was apology in her eyes, as if she felt ashamed—the boss was still working, how could she slack off?
The goat milk was poured into the goblet, and the boss held down the King Hunter's arm as soon as he raised his claws.
"Thanks, but no need to pour it for me now."
King Hunter: "How is the situation on the front line?"
Boss: "The gunsmith and the shooting star are both missing."
King Hunter: "Did the gunsmith ring the summons bell?"
boss: "Not yet."
The king hunter had a worried look in his eyes and whispered——
"——It would be great if I could come back safely, if I could come back safely."
"They must be safe, otherwise 9527 and 3301 will be very sad..."
"them..."
Boss: "Why don't you go there yourself?"
Hearing these words, the King Hunter's expression immediately changed. Her eyes involuntarily glanced at the cabinet door, and immediately returned to Ao Mingde's dark fur, as if she had an incredible expression.
Finally, the cat climbing frame lady was excited and scared, and asked cautiously and tentatively.
"May I?"
"I'm kidding!" The boss laughed loudly: "There is a report from the Gate of Wonders that there is a terrible plague in Shinto City. This plague is called venom. The venom mechanism, and all homo sapiens who enter will have a small box."
"There are too many professional terms, so I handed them over to the people at the Research Institute for analysis."
"But there is one thing I can understand - because of this small box, the people in Shinto City have all turned into half-dead zombies. They have ghosts on them, ghosts named artificial intelligence."
Having said this, the boss lowered his head and raised his eyes, looking at the King Hunter with deep meaning.
"The plague must not spread outside, let alone the railway system. If this thing spreads to the mortal world, it will be a huge disaster - it is much more attractive than the Vita Brand."
The King Hunter did not speak and nodded slightly.
The boss continued.
"Judging from the information we have collected so far, the two heads of the Anonymous Doe are still operating around Xiao Guandong, and Luo Ping'an's soul power is still going through the trial process. The information he sent back is very interesting - especially about you."
The cat climbing frame lady was refreshed and finally came to the topic.
The boss told the king hunter everything he saw and heard in Ginza Town.
"Ping An saw a bionic man exactly like you in an arsenal. Do you have any clues? King Hunter?"
"The bionic modified cyborg is one of the Six Shinto Orders, codenamed [Zhong Kui]. In legend, the god is a god of war who can ward off evil and avoid disasters. The aircraft once produced by Mitsubishi Factory were also called Zhong Kui..."
"The prototype of this android was once the wife of [Hot Wind·Hot Wind], and her name is Ishihara Momo."
"According to Luo Ping'an, he was shocked when he saw Zhong Kui's image. He thought you had come to Shinto City. He greeted you for a long time, but received no response. Hun Wei was also beaten by the night patrol. , which made everyone quite embarrassed."
The King Hunter didn't answer. She was waiting for the boss to finish everything.
Ao Mingde dug out the crew information from thick books, as well as the King Hunter's waiter files, mission records while on duty, etc.
"My valet, you seem to have some secrets - everyone has secrets, that's not surprising."
"It's just that Victor couldn't dig out the secrets in you, which surprises me. Should I be surprised? Or should I be surprised?"
"Who are you? Why is this happening? Do you have a magical power? Even [Hell's Highway] can't verify your identity?"
"Let me see..."
The boss reveals the earliest crew log of the King Hunter.
"You come from the Igarashi family. Your father's name is Igarashi Akira. Now the leader of the Frost Moon Knights, Igarashi Rongxi, should call you aunt."
"Igarashi Akira is from Shinto City, a native of Kansai. He was an academician who returned to the Research Institute from the Shinto City Transportation Department in 1970 to engage in research related to semiconductor materials."
"You are Igarashi Akira's daughter? I'm afraid that's wrong, right? How old were you at that time?"
The king hunter pointed to the picture and text description on the information, feeling unsure: "It should be fourteen years old."
The boss nodded and continued on with his resume.
"You joined the railway system. As a passenger, you soon showed your excellent psychic talents. Eight years later, at the age of twenty-two, you transformed into a butterfly and participated in the 1978 Harvest season.”
King Hunter: "Yes."
"The other four kings were all eaten by Taozu. It's a pity." The boss's gaze slowly shifted downwards. "I remember that the laws of the Nine Realms do not allow children under the age of sixteen to receive pyroxene and sticks - why How can you, a fourteen-year-old girl, run around outside?"
King Hunter: "I don't remember, boss. You also know that my memory has always been very bad."
"Your father is from the Research Institute, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to stuff you with rocks and sticks." The boss smacked his lips in surprise: "Then the problem is, Igarashi Akira has died long ago, and no one knows who you are. No one, including you, remembers this, right?"
King Hunter: "Indeed."
"Before you became king, Victor always paid attention to the mental state of the passengers. He was always doing translation work." The boss then said: "In our opinion, you have always been a forgetful girl. Other than that, there is nothing Other abnormalities, you eat, drink and sleep like everyone else. You have been a passenger for four years and a waiter for four years. You have soul power at the age of twenty-two, and you are a VIP with outstanding talents."
King Hunter: "Indeed."
The boss scratched his head.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect a waiter who has been with me day and night for so many years..."
"It can actually be related to the ghosts in Shinto City. I don't understand. I'm confused."
"Your father named you Chinatsu Igarashi. This name was abandoned after he became king."
King Hunter: "I would have almost forgotten this real name if you didn't tell me."
...
...
[part2·Reflection]
Boss: "So are you Chinatsu? Or Momo?"
The king hunter looked a little embarrassed: "I don't know..."
The boss sighed and continued following the mission briefing sent back by Luo Ping'an.
"My preliminary judgment is that this [Zhong Kui], like other typical people, is an angel baby cloned from the genetic prototype of Momo Ishihara."
"They have been compiled through DNA and have evolved and iterated into multiple versions. If the King Hunter is still with you, it is best not to let her go to Shinto City."
"She is most likely an angel baby. Judging from the age, she should be one of the earliest experimental subjects around 1970."
"She does not have the venom mechanism, but her mental essence still retains the defects of venom - her memory is very poor. Like the Riemannian thinking model, she may only have a short-term memory of eight years at most."
"She needs to repeatedly try to remember things that have happened before, even things she has done, and they will gradually become unfamiliar."
"Events that were too complex eight years ago will turn into simple symbols. She may only know what happened, but it is difficult to remember the specific process."
"Kinghunters often have feelings of hostility and distrust towards you. This strange sense of alienation comes from the harvest season - she only knows that you have eaten people, and you almost ate her together."
"In summary..."
The boss pursed his lips and raised his head to examine the undead——
"——Your father probably lied to you, my little waiter."
The King Hunter frowned slightly, seeming a little angry, but the anger was getting weaker and weaker. She couldn't even remember what Akira Igarashi looked like.
Boss: "You are not his biological daughter, or even born from any natural person."
King Hunter: "Is that so?"
Boss: "When you heard the news from Shinto City just now, I could see the homesick expression on your face."
King Hunter: "I really want to go there and see it, especially when I heard you say..."
She thought for a moment, raised her hand and put it down again, her expression becoming nervous.
"When I said the word [Zhong Kui], there were others... like night patrol and day patrol... I seemed to be thinking of something, but I couldn't figure it out clearly, so I started to get curious."
Boss: "It's a pity, girl, I can't let you go to this place."
King Hunter: "Then it's up to you."
boss; "Don't you want to ask why?"
The King Hunter's brows widened and he smiled: "I believe in your decision."
The boss's eyes also became watery, and he didn't know what to say.
If Luo Ping'an's information is correct, then it is certain that the King Hunter is an early experimental subject of the Angel Baby.
This eldest girl was born in 1956, when cloning technology had just begun to take off.
In 1952, scientists were just beginning to study how to replicate frog body cells.
This matter is a sensitive issue for all mankind, whether it is moral ethics or legal issues.
In the next four short years, Shinto City will most likely frantically create replicas of the core circle and scientific research workers in the form of technology sharing, and create corresponding Riemannian thinking models, so this angel was created during the experimental phase. infant.
Imagine that one Einstein can come up with the theory of relativity, but what about two? What about ten? What about a hundred? What level of achievements can they achieve?
Mr. Ping An and Ao Hen Mingde solemnly told them not to let the King Hunter return to the territory of Shinto City. She was most likely to be influenced by [Zhong Kui]. The moment her body built the venom mechanism, she became the carrier of the ghost and became a ghost. A walking corpse.
"It's difficult." The boss covered his forehead, feeling that things were very difficult to handle.
Judging from the current combat corps of various railway departments, if we have to go a long way to re-ignite the nodes of Shinto City, we will definitely pay heavy losses.
This exploration operation sent two T0-level combatants. They could not get much benefit from facing these bionic modified people. There is also a young talent who is about to be promoted to VIP.
Shinto City is like a cesspit, if you blow it up, God knows if the venom mechanism inside will start spreading the plague in the form of another virus.
For Homo sapiens, the allure of virtual space is much stronger than exploring the underground world.
What is the most beautiful thing in the world? Do you get something in return for your efforts?
Aohun Mingde can only make one of the most basic promises, that is, work hard and the boss will never treat you badly.
But in the illusory digital world, in the community organized by Venom Venom. Everyone can get something for nothing and get almost eternal happiness. It can stimulate brain nerves, it can create false experiences, and it can use modules to get things that cannot be had in reality.
In this digital world, there is no ordinary, no ordinary.
Every day is new, surprising, exciting and dazzling.
On the other side of Howling Wind Ridge is a society that has lost its vitality. The traditional old-era Homo sapiens are about to die, and new typical people will immediately build a new social form.
Even if the modules of these typical people are separated and their experiences are stitched together according to different elements, it will be enough for any typical person to have fun for a lifetime.
They can become typical young men, typical young women, typical fathers, and typical mothers.
There are typical loves, which are divided into male-female love and same-sex love, simultaneous polyamory or multiple extramarital affairs, or different partners, different classic star skins, and chimeric interpretations using different modules.
This type of love story alone can consume a person's time for more than ten years.
A typical person will never be able to experience all the mods in the community from birth to death.
These experiences become new modules, which cycle and evolve again and again.
There will never be a new classic, but it will become a derivative of the classic, a fan of the derivative, a fan of the fan, and a derivative of the derivative.
As Johnny Connolly once said - there is an invisible ghost that has grabbed hold of human beings by the ankles and can no longer move forward.
At this moment, the King Hunter came to the good cat, wanting to share some of the boss's worries.
"You seem distressed?"
The boss waved his claws and explained patiently: "Shinto City is a military-industrial complex. In addition to Xiao Guandong, there are at least sixteen military camps. This exploration should have stopped at Xiao Guandong. I am very worried about Bu Meteor. and the gunsmith's mental state. Although the venom first seized from the zombie train was inactive and showed no signs of the electronic plague, there was no guarantee that these two boys would come back with dirty ghosts in their bodies. ..”
The king hunter replied calmly: "I believe in these two young men, and you should also believe in them."
The boss raised his head and saw the cat climbing frame lady opening her arms, hugging the cat as usual, and asking the boss to sleep in her arms for a while.
The King Hunter tapped the table gently to urge the boss to take a nap.
"According to the information passed by Mr. Ping An, Hot Wind and Bu Meteor's pyroxene are of the same color system and have the same properties. This is his only path - fate favors the brave, and he is a brave boy. .”
"I think even if they meet [Zhong Kui] and another me, they should be able to defeat the enemy."
"The two little guys from Anonymous have grown up and are now upright men."
Aohen Mingde climbed up along the King Hunter's arms and slowly curled up in the King Hunter's arms.
The king hunter walked back to the fireplace, sat in front of the warm flame, and gradually closed his eyes with Ao rhen Mingde.
"now is our recess time."
She was murmuring softly, always looking like she couldn't wake up.
"Good night, my little kitten."
