"This guy won't say anything."
After Jiang Zhou walked over, Booker turned his head and complained to him.
Even when he held the knife to the other person's neck and threatened to cut off his trachea if he didn't reply, the other person still looked at Booker with a contemptuous expression, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Didn't say anything?"
Jiang Zhou walked to Booker and asked.
"From the beginning of the war to now, this guy has only said two sentences in total, 'Surround him' and 'Hold him'. Other than that, he has said nothing."
Booker replied with a frown.
"Why does this person look a bit like..."
Jiang Zhou looked at the guy's face and asked hesitantly.
"You want to ask why he looks so much like Black Falcon-136, right?"
Booker said, turning the man over, and then inserted the broken ceramic claw blade into the opponent's spine, paralyzing the opponent's ability to move.
Jiang Zhou nodded.
"He and Black Falcon-136 come from the same genetic parent, but they are modified in different directions."
After a pause, Booker continued:
"They are all products of the Black Feather Gene Editing Studio, a group of technology geeks who worship the Abyss Dark Web. They claim to be able to manually edit adjusters who are born with the ability to control prosthetic implants without relying on a universal printer."
"Can adjusters also artificially guide mutations?"
Jiang Zhou was a little surprised.
Wouldn't this be able to mass-produce and adjust people?
"That's what they claimed, but in terms of the final result, it was not successful. Although those 'natural adjusters' were able to use the prosthetic body like an arm and a finger after installing the corresponding prosthetic body. But Most of them go crazy before they are old enough to be fitted with prosthetics."
After completely removing the opponent's turbine iron wings connected to his shoulder blades, Booker continued:
"The mental index of people with this kind of natural adjustment is more fragile than ordinary people. This is why the organization has not approved the upgrade of Black Falcon-136 to depth 3 in the past.
"Actually, the headquarters of Black Feather Studio was destroyed by their rampant experimental products five years ago. And the surviving technical backbone and so on were said to have been destroyed by Apollo Biology and Pluto Deep Dive. Limpis Enterprise has absorbed it."
Throwing the set of turbine iron wings aside, Booker looked at the guy who had completely lost his ability to move and said:
"And this guy is a natural adjuster of the Raven model, with a genetic sequence number of 66. According to the scattered information collected by the organization, among the entire 'Raven' model adjusters, this is the only one who does not suffer from high-risk cyberpsychosis. . A few years ago, he moved to the bottom of the Nord settlement area, and in less than a year he became the leader of the Lobotomy Gang, which can be regarded as a big disaster.
"Before, the organization tried to uproot the Lobe Gang several times, but these guys always hid very secretly... I didn't expect that this time they actually came to our door on their own initiative... It can only be said to be an unexpected gain."
Lobotomy Gang...
Jiang Zhou searched Liao Qi's memory, and then a disgusting expression appeared on his face, as if he had eaten a fly.
"Then what should we do with him? Just kill him here?"
he asked with some disgust.
"The crimes of illegal trading of biological organs, first-degree murder, kidnapping and detention, illegal body modification, crimes against human intelligence and ethics..."
Booker stood up and looked back at Jiang Zhou:
"Have you forgotten? We have a special World Wide Web channel on the ground floor of the resettlement area. Every time we catch such a heinous guy, we will hold a public trial. We will collect every piece of tangible evidence and invite the family members of every victim. For online attendance, of course, we will keep their personal information hidden.
"We will show the people at the bottom of the resettlement area the justice and necessity of our actions... We will not publicly execute him until the entire process is completed to deter other criminals and to unite people." People’s hearts.”
As he spoke, Booker looked down at Raven-66, who was lying on his back, and said in a higher tone:
"So do you understand, you bastard will eventually die, I promise. You will get the punishment you deserve in front of everyone."
"hehe……"
In response to such a declaration, the other party just chuckled and still did not reply.
When Booker saw this, he didn't want to waste any more time. He stood up and looked at Jiang Zhou and asked:
"The adjustment and transformation in Depth 1 didn't cause you any discomfort, right? Can you still get used to it?"
The latter nodded, his eyes still staring at the guy named Raven-66 lying on the ground.
"So this person was left here?"
Jiang Zhou asked with some confusion.
"I've severed his control circuits and now he's a paraplegic."
Booker pointed to the claw blade inserted across the opponent's spine, and then continued:
"Now, it's serious business to get rid of the remaining guys in Chiron's house. We can deal with this guy when he comes back."
Jiang Zhou nodded hesitantly, but he always felt that something was not right.
But before taking a few steps, Jiang Zhou suddenly remembered the "psycho" he had killed in that room before.
Also unable to communicate, acting with strange logic, like a pre-programmed machine...
It is able to ignore fatal wounds on the body and maintain a certain ability to move even when it is determined that the spine has been broken.
It was also at this time that Jiang Zhou heard a noise coming from behind...
"careful!"
Sensing something was wrong, he shouted loudly.
The enhanced limbic system, at the moment when the sound came, beat gongs and drums in Liao Qi's brain and shouted to him: "There is danger!"
The adrenaline pump was activated instantly, and adrenaline, which for ordinary people would be enough to cause sudden death, was instantly injected into the whole body, slowly elongating Jiang Zhou's consciousness.
He turned around suddenly, and his eyes immediately focused on that person.
Raven-66, who had suffered extensive burns on his lower body and was disarmed, now stood up unsteadily.
He ignored the ceramic steel claw blade inserted into his spine and started moving again as if being pulled by invisible threads.
That's right, Booker cut off the opponent's spinal cord and cut off the person's brain's control over the body.
but……
Jiang Zhou saw Raven-66's blank eyes under the broken goggles.
"Give me--"
The man spoke, and his voice was stretched to the point of distortion due to Jiang Zhou's reaction speed.
However, the person controlling the other person's body is not...
From the corner of Jiang Zhou's sight, he saw Booker also turning around, or in other words, his speed was faster than his own.
Booker stopped in front of him with a lunge. The bright silver carapace on his body reorganized at a dizzying speed, forming a shield in front of him.
"--kill him."
It seemed as if something was using the man's throat to issue this command to the body.
Raven-66's chest suddenly opened, and a small black box was buried in his chest. At this moment, the breathing light on the box was flashing red light crazily.
The ancient reptilian brain's keen premonition of death made Jiang Zhou feel cold on the back of his neck - as if the sickle of death was sliding against his neck.
Fine electric light flashed on the box, and it became brighter and brighter, turning into radiating arcs one after another.
That guy was almost instantly burned to ashes by the scattered arc, and then...
The black box exploded into a deadly cloud of plasma in the hallway.
…………
"Okay, we can start taking action."
At the same moment, the veteran who had inexplicably started to close his eyes to rest after arranging the next task, suddenly stood up and said this.
"Now? But didn't you just say that you wanted to wait until our leader came back?"
Someone on the side asked doubtfully.
In fact, this person is even more confused as to why the veteran in front of him is so sure that their leader can defeat a depth 3 adjuster.
The veteran looked at the person who spoke, smiled, and then said:
"Yes, and now 'he' is back."
…………
Tartarus Headquarters, Cerberus Command Center.
After accepting the questioning, Ye Qian looked at Director Cerberus in front of him with cold sweat on his back, waiting for the other party's final judgment.
Although he is also called "director", the level difference between him, the third deep dive warehouse director, and the director of the Offensive Security Defense Coordination Center in front of him is too far.
Just like flying sports cars and bicycles can both be called cars, but no one would think that they are the same thing.
As a quasi-high-level figure who can attend strategic decision-making meetings and have the opportunity to meet with company directors, it is not an exaggeration to say that the other party has the power to take over his life and death.
It's just that Ye Qian doesn't know what he has done to attract the attention of such a person.
It can't possibly be what happened in the Nord resettlement area, right?
Cerberus' supervisor was silent for a long time, and finally, he slowly pointed to the transcript recorded by the automatic recording device.
"Why did you previously arrange for a native whose real identity has not yet been found to participate in the salvage mission at Depth 2 of the Photosynthetic Zone?"
The man asked.
Ye Qian swallowed under the other party's gaze.
"As I explained before, it's because that person suffers from severe radiation disease. If he is transformed into a technical slave, it will be very..."
"I want to hear your more personal reason."
The supervisor shook his head and interrupted Ye Qian's words.
This made Ye Qian's heart skip a beat, and he felt as if everything about him had been seen through.
Before he could think of how to deal with it, the other party continued:
"I want to know if that more personal reason has something to do with the 'Puppet Circuit', the component of the 'Upgrade Path Theseus' that you gave to those gutter rats in the Nord settlement area before?
"After all, the codename you gave that guy is Theseus, and Theseus is your path to promotion."
