In the observation room, everyone was stunned for a moment by the punk girl who appeared behind them like a ghost.
Who is this person?
No... Putting aside who she is, how on earth did she get in silently when the room itself was locked?
In order to isolate the contained "horses" from possible damage, the observation room, as the command center, was renovated after extensive intrusion.
Scenes like this that quietly transformed into a living person challenged the imagination of almost everyone in the observation room.
How on earth did she get in?
This kind of question lingers in everyone's mind except Ye Qian. But for a while, no one dared to ask.
After all, this is the "Fourth Prison" that houses all kinds of dangerous people. If a guy dressed as a punk suddenly appears, he is more likely to be a "horse" that has broken through the containment than the lead guitarist of a visual kei band.
"So, are you the person in charge here? The boy walking on the path of Theseus?"
Seeing that everyone was as quiet as if they found the head teacher appearing in front of the window during evening self-study, the woman stared at Ye Qian and asked.
Not only that, there was inexplicable anger in her tone.
The moderator of the Path of Theseus provoked her and kept emphasizing this?
Ye Qian was a little confused.
His surprise and nervousness were quickly calmed down by the "puppet circuit". Now that he had calmed down, he was even in the mood to judge the impression the other party gave him - she clearly looked twenty-four or five years old, but the tone of her voice... Just as old-fashioned as her outdated dress.
It looks like an antique from the 1920s.
But this thing can tell my upgrade path at a glance...
Ye Qian thought so.
The Path of Theseus has no appearance changes until Depth 7. It can be regarded as the path closest to native humans in appearance among all adjustment paths.
So, how did the other party see it?
Thinking this, Ye Qian took a step forward and planned to stand out from the crowd. But at this time, someone grabbed him from behind.
"There is a red button on the right side of the front console. If you are sure that the other party is a threat, you must find an opportunity to press it."
The man who held him lowered his voice and let go after speaking.
At this moment, under the signal shielding of the silence field, no one present could communicate privately through the communication channel of the brain-computer interface.
"what is that?"
In response, Ye Qian tilted his head slightly and asked softly without moving his lips.
"The alarm that goes directly to the board of directors can immediately report the news of the fourth prison's containment failure to the office of Minos, the director of the fourth prison... at least that's what the training manual says."
The man replied in a low voice as well.
The training manual says so, so this is really reassuring...
Ye Qian thought mockingly.
Other departments don’t know, but in the third deep dive warehouse that Ye Qian is responsible for, the first thing new people do when they come here is to throw the training manual into the crusher - if they really follow the above rules, they will be afraid of their own bodies. It hasn't been cold several times.
But when it comes to the board of directors, and it’s such a dangerous place as the “fourth prison,” the company shouldn’t be so bureaucratic.
Immediately, Ye Qian comforted himself.
Minos, one of the three public figures on the board of directors of Pluto Deep Diving Company, is mainly responsible for the company's development-related business.
But this is only a superficial statement. In fact, the true identity of "Minos" is a mystery just like other directors whose identities are not disclosed.
Even middle-level managers like Ye Qian don't know whether the kind old man who only appears in promotional videos and company news is a real person.
Or, it is just a designed virtual image that exists as the company's external spokesperson.
But... is there a direct alert channel to the board of directors?
Ye Qian resisted looking at the button, and then he took a deep breath.
"Although I am not the person in charge here, I do have the highest confidentiality authority among these people in the company. You can tell me anything you want, so... who are you?"
After taking a deep breath and walking forward, Ye Qian gently put his hand on the impact gun on his waist and said.
At the end of the conversation, he tentatively asked about the other party's identity with a hint of warning.
Be polite before fighting.
Ye Qian thought to himself - compared to other colleagues who were frightened, he actually saw through the other party's tricks at a glance.
At this moment, he had already made plans to directly raise his hand to blast the opponent - to take action on the physical level before the prosthetic body was completely hacked. This is the most efficient way to fight against the "steeds" that invade reality.
"Hey... the 'puppet thread' on your body is still connected to the little guy that the old man asked me to protect?"
Without answering Ye Qian's question at all, the punk girl looked Ye Qian up and down with interest, and then said this.
No, rather than not answering, her attitude was more like a contemptuous disregard - the other party didn't seem to care about what he said at all, as if he was just a map stop sign standing on the roadside, only for herself. Some information she needed.
This feeling of being completely ignored by a transparent person made Ye Qian feel a sense of unknown anger - he was particularly sensitive to this kind of emotion.
This is what Aconite-1 looked like when he was being clever and taking advantage of himself; this was what Perse Fanny looked like when she was in the Nord Resettlement Project, and when Prison D lightly judged that she could only reach depth 5. , it’s also like this...
No one has ever really looked at him, they just see him as a small obstacle on the road, or a big fool who can be used casually.
Even if Wu Tou-23 was designed to die by themselves (although it was not his intention), they never noticed it;
Even if it was himself who helped Pluto dive deep into the hands of "Theseus" who caused a huge commotion (although he himself only found out about it after the fact), they never paid attention to it;
Even though he was the one pushing forward the progress of the underground expansion of the Nord Resettlement Area (although the cost was a bit higher, it was still better than the project being suspended now), they never praised it...
But even though he did so much, those guys never looked at themselves.
Not once.
Because, if they had looked at themselves once, Ye Qian, by virtue of his authority, would not have been able to discover the secrets hidden in the third deep dive chamber until now.
So...continue to ignore me, and continue to give me the space and time to prepare...
Until I actually bare my fangs and rip all of your throats out.
Ye Qian thought with some pleasure.
Immediately, he turned to look at the punk girl in front of him.
He used the "puppet circuit" to calm down the angry emotions, and he began to think about the hidden information in the other party's previous words.
Puppet line...
This is a statement often mentioned in Ascension Path Theseus, and people often use this word to describe the obvious connection between the adjuster and his puppet.
So, the other party not only knows his upgrade path, but also knows the connection between himself and "Theseus"?
Does she have anything to do with "Theseus"? Or is she a member of the faction in the company who wants to keep Hecate's horse, trying to delay the "cleanup"?
Ye Qian silently analyzed in his heart. But before he could say anything, the other party pointed at himself and continued:
"Forget it, these are all trivial matters... let's get down to business first. Boy from the Road of Theseus, if you are the person in charge here. To put it bluntly, your level is not high enough to negotiate with me on behalf of the company.
"So, I suggest you inform your leader, or the leader of your leader. Instead of wasting time with me here, talking to you will be a waste of time. Maybe I will kill you because I let you know too much. Secondly, I see that the adjuster of Theseus's path is in a bad mood, and I'm afraid that I might kill you if I don't hold back. So... did you see that big red button sealed by glass? "
Ye Qian's steps froze.
Previously, he was following the previous person's prompts and approaching the button seemingly casually. Being mentioned so suddenly by the other party, he almost reflexively glanced at his right side - a dazzling huge red button, just within his reach.
It was sealed by three layers of glass, with a "warning" seal on it. With this look, if someone said that this was the self-destruct button of the fourth prison, Ye Qian would immediately believe it.
"Damn..."
After realizing that the woman had noticed, the person who had given Ye Qian the hint before cursed behind him.
"Press quickly!"
Another staff member from the Fourth Prison next to him immediately shouted.
A person who can appear in this room like a ghost, which is almost a supernatural manifestation of technology, is definitely not an existence that they can easily deal with.
However, Ye Qian did not move.
"Do not worry."
He said calmly to the punk girl.
You, a pretentious guy, also look down on me, right?
Are you still worried about accidentally killing me?
After using the "puppet circuit" to calm down his angry mood, Ye Qian only felt funny at the moment.
"There is no need to alert the board of directors, the other party is just a holographic projection."
Ye Qian directly told the truth without any pretense.
At the same time, he pulled out the blaster from his waist.
He had no intention of pressing that button from the beginning - because of the secrets he had in the third deep dive chamber, unless he was really forced to do so, he absolutely did not want to attract the attention of the company directors.
On the other hand, as long as the world still abides by basic common sense of physics, it is impossible for the woman in punk clothing in front of them to pass through the closed doors and windows and appear behind them.
Adhering to this belief, the moment Ye Qian saw the other party, he activated his prosthetic eye "thread" at full power - the adjustment of Theseus Path Depth 3, almost achieved what optical prosthetic eyes can do. limit.
As the adjuster with the highest depth of adjustment among all the people, his enhanced prosthetic eye kept zooming the lens, and he quickly saw through this micron-level image - a spherical "projector" that was silently The ground is suspended in mid-air.
The moment he saw the ball clearly, Ye Qian finally breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
It's just a projection...
Although he didn't know how this "projector" was placed in the observation room in advance. But compared to a woman in strange clothes who suddenly appeared in a closed room, it was not unimaginable to find a way to hide a projector in the observation room in advance to scare them.
Ping raised the impact gun and adjusted the frequency to oscillation mode. After Ye Qian shouted "Please watch", he smiled and pulled the trigger towards the other party.
The powerful energy vibrated the air, tearing apart the opponent's aerosol curtain spread in mid-air. The punk girl's projection was momentarily distorted, revealing the instrument hidden behind it.
A "projector" about the size of two fists, with red light strips flashing on the black background. The blood-red light is like breathing, constantly interweaving light and dark - that is the reverse analysis of Pluto Deep Diving Company Characteristics of anti-gravity devices.
At least it can be confirmed that the guy who put this self-discipline machine in is one of the Pluto Deep Diving Company.
Ye Qian thought.
Not the guy who was institutionalized in the "Fourth Prison".
Thinking of this, Ye Qian looked at the liar whose disguise had been ripped off by him, and his mood was as if he had exposed a wonderful magic show in front of the public, full of elation and pride.
"Don't be fooled. As you can see, this is just an autonomous drone."
Immediately, he said as if giving a final speech.
However, the thunderous applause he originally expected did not happen. Those who were behind him before were all silent.
"how……"
Ye Qian turned his head as he spoke, and then, like a duck that had its neck strangled, he lost his voice along with the people behind him.
Because, behind him at this moment, there were more than twenty "projectors" floating around surrounding all of them. As the aerosol curtain was re-draped, more than twenty projections of punk girls surrounded the crowd. And the layers of figures covered Ye Qian's sight.
when? How did you do it?
The scene in front of him made Ye Qian's mind instantly go blank.
Turning back to look forward, his eyes were also surrounded by people.
How could there be more?
When did they come in?
"Probabilistic cloud defense system, macroscopic quantization. Is it difficult to understand?"
The next moment, the woman appeared in front of Ye Qian.
"I just ask you to press a button, and you have to do it myself."
As she spoke, her ring-covered hand pressed down on the console, and a sharp alarm sounded instantly in the fourth prison.
But when she raised her hand, the glass covering the button was still intact.
Ye Qian just looked at the other person, unable to do anything.
"It's not bad. You guessed it right before. What just came in was just my projection. After all, the energy required to quantize a projector is different from quantizing myself. After sleeping for so many years, it's time to give it again. It takes a certain amount of time to input new quantum specifications into the furnace core.”
The woman looked at Ye Qian and said.
"Quantized...you are..."
At this moment, Ye Qian kept enlarging his prosthetic eyes, trying to discern some clues from the person in front of him.
But this time, he could only see a blank from this woman - clearly looking far away, he could see her right in front of him, but once he tried to observe the details, the other person didn't seem to exist here.
"You want to see me clearly?"
the woman asked.
Ye Qian was speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Originally, I didn't want to kill anyone when I came back this time. But firstly, you are connected by a puppet thread with the person that the old guy wants to protect. You are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Secondly, you are taking the path of Theseus , and now I’m getting angry when I see you stitch monsters...and you still don’t respect me.”
The woman continued.
As she spoke, her beautiful face began to crack, revealing something like a thousand-leaf fan behind the face - although it was completely incompatible, Ye Qian always felt that the thing looked like an eye.
The "eye" continued to expand and deform, and in just one second, it turned into a hemispherical cover about half a meter in diameter.
Ye Qian, who could do nothing, continued to try in vain to use his prosthetic eyes to see clearly what the other party was.
"Don't bother, you can't see me clearly, but I can see you clearly...see the state of every quantum in your body."
The woman continued.
"This is the so-called 'strong observer' vision, the upgrade path Charon's depth 7 adjustment. Do you know that when the position of every quantum in your body is determined, what will happen due to the observer effect? "
"meeting……"
Ye Qian spoke.
"Snapped!"
Before he could answer, there was a sound like a bucket of water being poured on the ground. The mass of material that once made up "Ye Qian" instantly disintegrated into a viscous liquid.
