Fifth Avenue.
Parked on the roadside opposite the Massey Bionic Pet Hospital is a patrol airship from the Bureau of Order. The hull is painted with red and white stripes and has a streamlined shape. There is a huge logo on the hatch, and two long guns are crossed on a scale.
Through the coated porthole, Dro stared at the Bionic Pet Hospital opposite and asked, "House, it looks like there's no one there."
House leaned forward from the driver's seat and narrowed his eyes: "It's hard to say, there might be an ambush. Check, did anything special happen here yesterday?"
"okay."
Dro awakens the police system of the patrol airship.
The mechanical female voice said: "Hello, second-level agent Dro Demar of the Security Brigade of the Zhongjing Branch of the Order Bureau."
"Check the feedback record of yesterday's security on Fifth Avenue."
The image was projected in front of Dro's eyes in an arc.
"Hmm... um..." Dro reached out and flipped through the records. Occasionally, he clicked on one, and the records were automatically associated with a series of images, most of which were ground surveillance.
"Hey, hey, House, that's not right," Dro yelled, pointing at the image in front of him.
House leaned forward.
In the picture, the back alley of Massey Bionic Pet Hospital, which was raining continuously, suddenly exploded with light. Then the sky suddenly cleared up, and many pedestrians and vehicles suddenly appeared in the picture.
"Someone deleted a piece of surveillance." House took out a cigarette and lit it. "When did yesterday's rain end?"
Dro thought for a while: "It seems like three o'clock in the afternoon?"
"It means something happened here around three o'clock," House exhaled a puff of smoke. "Expand the search area and check all records from First Avenue to Seventh Avenue after three o'clock yesterday."
"okay."
Soon, Dro said excitedly: "Look, there is such a record on Fourth Street."
In the picture, from an area surrounded by security tapes, a wretched old man and a short, fat woman carrying a large bag rushed out shouting, followed by three agents from the Order Bureau running wildly.
Just when he was about to catch up, the old man jumped on the back of the short, fat woman. Then, as if her legs were equipped with engines, the woman suddenly accelerated and disappeared around the corner of the street like flying.
"Quick, keep chasing, keep chasing," House shouted.
"Haha, I know this area well," De Luo muttered: "Fourth Street, Nanhai Road, turn to Third Street, Donghai Road, Rongtai Street..."
The screen kept switching in his hands, closely following the woman's figure, and sometimes even cutting to a surveillance camera in advance, waiting for the woman to appear.
Twenty minutes later, the woman turned into a shopping mall with the old man on her back.
De Luo switched several probes and finally shook his head: "K11, there are many exits, and it is connected to the nearby community. Some areas are not covered and can't be found."
House threw away the cigarette butt: "These two people have a problem."
"what is the problem?"
"Have you ever seen a woman who can carry an old man on her back and run as fast as a car?" House said angrily, "That woman must be a robot."
"Robot?" Dro was stunned, "Robots are not allowed to be shells that look like humans."
"That's on the surface. Are you fucking Ex Machina?" House thought for a while, "These two stupid young men are definitely not locals. Let's contact the three agents first and ask why we are chasing these people. You two, please contact Lao Ya again and ask him what hotels near K11 do not require registration."
"Okay," De Luo nodded, then hesitated, "We are not looking for .RD's director Li Yiyuan, why are we chasing this old man?
"Don't you smell a conspiracy?" House sneered, "These people are all related."
"House," Dro praised, "your nose is more sensitive than a police dog."
"..."

Third Street.
"FMOTEL" motel.
"Um..." Dr. Xisen frowned and said solemnly, "Daji, does this bowl of spicy hotpot not contain chili pepper?"
Daji glanced down, raised her head and said, "Let it go, Dr. Xisen. Considering the tolerance of your excretory system, it is only an appropriate reduction of 0.85 grams."
"Tsk, no wonder," Xisen shook his head, "You have to be rigorous when doing experiments, and it's the same when eating Malatang. You have to put in as much chili as you should."
"OK."
Xisen scratched his white hair, ate the spicy hot pot, and said vaguely: "Oh, hiss, although Prometheus died, we are so lucky to be able to contact Li Liang so quickly."
"Yes."
A few minutes later.
"Hey," Xisen seemed to have remembered something, put down his plastic chopsticks, and said in a daze: "I originally thought it was just a successful experiment. Our Xin'ao branch was finally one step ahead of the Denali branch in the field of consciousness transmission. I didn't expect that things would turn out differently. It has become so complicated. Yuan Zhen's consciousness is very unstable and has a strong self-destructive tendency. Coupled with his paranoid personality, I really don't know what he will do. And now think about it, we put that into his subconscious layer. My thoughts were completely deceived, alas, it was my fault, I was blinded by the experiment.”
"Dr. Xisen," Daji patted Xisen's back gently, "You are a scientist, not an agent of the Bureau of Order. It is normal that you cannot see through the sinister intentions of the conspirators. You don't have to blame yourself."
"But according to Prometheus, once Yuan Zhen goes to that spiritual world, it will attract monsters. When the time comes to join forces with Zhuos, the earth will be over."
"It's a goblin, Dr. Sisen."
"Whether it's a goblin or a monster, it's all scary," Xisen sighed, "I hope it's too late."
"It will definitely be in time," Daji said. "Cain said that someone will be here to pick us up in two days."
"Well, I believe in Prometheus," Xisen said solemnly, "Li Liang will definitely be able to save the world."

Whisper privately.
In the study, Li Liang stood in front of a whiteboard, thought for a while, and wrote a line of characters on the corner of the whiteboard with a carbon pen: Reform Sect (Gu Sheng).
Two arrows are drawn from "The ancient prosperity of the reform sect", pointing respectively to: the dominant person, Li Zhenguan.
Write at a distance below: Pioneer (Unknown), and draw an arrow pointing to: Yuan Zhen.
At the bottom, write: Centrist (Li Child).
After writing this, he turned to the two viewers below and said: "Next, let's analyze our enemies."
K leaned on the sofa wearing sunglasses, took a sip of beer, and asked, "Is it so complicated?"
Mizuno sat up straight, his eyes focused.
The monkey Zhizhi, who had just been picked up by Mizuno, yawned loudly.
"The reason why it's complicated," Li Liang raised his hand and drew three arrows from the Dominator, pointing at Gu Sheng, Yuan Zhen, and Li Xiaozi respectively. Then he pressed his finger hard on the three words "Dominator" and said to the two of them. , "Because of the existence of this shit-stirring stick."
Half an hour later.
The whiteboard was filled with names and criss-crossed with arrows, looking like an abstract circuit diagram.
at last.
Li Liang wrote a name at the bottom: one of the decision-makers of Zhuosi, direct descendant (unknown).
He concluded: "I have a hunch that this man is here to clean up the mess, and the Dros who live on the moon are about to lose their patience."
——————————
Artificial lake, three-story wooden building.
The floor was replaced with a brand new wool carpet.
Different from yesterday, at this moment Gu Sheng stood barefoot on the edge of the carpet with an expressionless face, his head lowered and quietly waiting for someone to arrive.
Thumb, thump, thump...
Footsteps sounded.
A woman appeared from the corner of the stairs and walked up the stairs step by step.
The woman wore a gorgeous evening dress with a tail, and her long blond hair was tied up in the middle by a black metal ring.
moment.
The woman walked up to the third floor and saw Gu Sheng dressed in linen clothes and trousers. He chuckled and raised his right hand, shaking his fingers in the air as if switching to a non-existent interface.
Then, the evening dress on her body squirmed as if it was composed of some kind of tiny robot, and instantly transformed into an elegant linen dress.
The metal ring flickered, and her hair color turned pure black.
"Long time no see, Gu Sheng." The woman looked down at the wool carpet on the ground, stepped on it, and walked to the window, leaving a series of high-heeled shoes marks.
"Fourth Princess," Gu Sheng said calmly, "Why do you have to go to Donggu District yourself and dirty your shoes?"
"I read your report," the fourth princess reached out to touch the carved window lattice, "your judgment is extremely stupid."
Gu Sheng remained silent.
"People will only be loyal to interests. You underestimated the ambition of the ruler and Li Zhenguan. They are not docile lambs." The fourth princess sneered, "Li Zhenguan and the Mayfly Brotherhood have acted in so many scenes. Guess how much he has accumulated." Power? How many secrets has the Dominator concealed from those idiots in the Marginal Business Department? Do you know the role Li Liang played in the whole thing? "
Gu Sheng said in a low voice: "The ephemera that escaped Cain's control are just a mob. Li Zhenguan's little actions are childish and ridiculous, not worth mentioning. It's just that I can't see through the ruler more and more. He seems to be not only balancing us and the marginal business department, but also He is doing some other things, but now the launch of the 'New World' has reached a critical moment, and we cannot let him completely fall to the marginal business department."
He paused and said, "Judging from the intelligence we have obtained, Li Liang seems to have some authority over Xi'an. I suspect that he is from the Marginal Business Department."
"This person is much more important than you think," the fourth princess turned around, "Why didn't you capture him immediately?"
Gu Sheng hesitated: "At that time, the ruler sent one of his cronies to arrest people, but..."
"but what?"
"That person... rebelled and tampered with the mission information. The hunting team below mistakenly thought they were capturing an unsuspecting fuel, which caused them to seriously misjudge Li Liang's reaction..."
Snapped!
With a loud slap, Gu Sheng's face turned red instantly.
The fourth princess came closer, stretched out her hand to touch Gu Sheng's face, put her lips close to his ear, and whispered, "You are afraid of Xi'an, and you are also afraid of the 'New World', just like you will be angry when someone steps on your carpet. It's just fear, baby, be brave, you're a Dros."
Gu Sheng smiled.
Stab——
He suddenly tore the thin linen skirt in front of him and threw the fourth princess to the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A sharp laugh sounded, and for a moment it turned into a long and melodious chant that made people think.
