"Is there a hotel in the upper city?"
Li Liang was puzzled.
"Well, the believers who come to "Resonance" will live temporarily and are managed and maintained by androids," Dr. Sisson explained. "There are such apartments around every church in uptown, but..."
"how?"
Dr. Sisson scratched his head: "There are very few names on it, which means this apartment is a bit old."
"How did you find this place?"
"Just navigate to the nearest apartment," Dr. Sisson wondered, "This is the closest one."
Li Liang looked around.
It is a quiet place amidst the chaos. It is located in the corner behind a huge building and under a low platform. Even in the retinal projection, it looks particularly deserted.
Looking up, the round platform is almost pressing on the roof of this four-story building, and a large group of maintenance robots can be vaguely seen crawling around like spiders.
In the process of walking here from near the church, Li Liang has learned how to turn off the retinal projector. As long as he closes his eyes for a certain period of time and then opens them again, the world in front of him will return to its original appearance.
At this moment, he turned off the retinal projector and looked around again.
The field of vision was no longer brilliant, but had returned to a silvery-gray metallic color. The bottom of the platform above was exposed to pipes and mechanical structures, making it look ferocious and rough.
However.
The hotel in front of me has not changed much. The holographic signboard is still there, but the brightness has become very low. It seems that the holographic projection equipment has been running for many years and is on the verge of being scrapped.
K and Dr. Xisen did not turn off the retinal projection, so they naturally could not detect any abnormality. However, the child Li was holding an apple in his hands and chewing it with concentration.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Liang decided to trust Dr. Xisen's judgment - the androids in the upper city would not take orders from Zhuos.
Handing Cain in his arms to K, he walked slowly to the glass door of the hotel, pushed it open and walked in.
The decoration style of the lobby is extremely old, and can even be said to be dilapidated. Under dim lighting, the walls are covered with yellowing wallpaper, and the carpet is dirty. On the left is the wooden staircase leading to the second floor, and on the right is the hotel reception.
"Welcome to Black Crow!" A middle-aged Chinese man stood behind the counter with a smile on his face. "I am your butler Zero One Two. I am happy to serve you."
Li Liang thought for a moment that he saw a human being, but when he got closer, he realized that the lower body of this person was a hydraulic pipe column, which was mounted on a set of connecting rods and could only move left and right.
Dr. Xisen, who was approaching, was obviously shocked. He glared and asked, "What model do you have?"
"Dear guest, I am the LB-1 bionic mechanical unit, produced in August 2645, and the core comes from Putnam Laboratory 4."
"LB-1?" Dr. Sisson said in disbelief, "A semi-android equipped on the moon base? Why haven't you scrapped it yet?"
"Thank you Xi'an..." Zero One and Two shook his arms, "After three major repairs, my old arms and legs can still serve mankind."
Li Liang glanced at Dr. Xisen, who had not yet recovered, stared at Zero One and Two and asked, "Can you identify the permissions?"
Zero One and Two's smile remained unchanged: "Sorry, I don't have this function. Do you need to rest? I noticed that one of your companions is in poor health."
Li Liang frowned.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that there was something profound in the eyes of the half-bionic, half-mechanical guy in front of him.
Moreover, the probability that they would find such a special apartment by following the navigation was too low.
It can't be explained by coincidence.
Thinking of this, he whispered: "Enter engineering mode."
Zero One Two looked suffocated, and slowly placed his hands on his sides. The next moment, his head split into four parts from the top of the head, revealing the internal structure.
The circular cranial cavity is filled with intricately wound tubes and synaptic fibers that emit blue light. There is a four-clawed structure in the center, supporting a spherical central nervous system core.
Looking at this scene, Li Liang was at a loss. This was completely different from the bionic people he had seen.
"This model of bionic man is very old," Dr. Sisson shook his head. "At first, the central nervous system core of the bionic man was in the head. Later, Putnam found that the neck structure was too fragile and moved it to the chest, leaving some less important ones. The system is moved to the head, like a behavioral pattern store or something like that.”
"No holographic interactive interface?"
Dr. Xisen pointed to the place where the claws were in contact with the ball: "Contact connection, tsk, Xin'ao Branch doesn't even have a reading device."
"Do you think there's something wrong with this robot?" K said casually.
Li Liang nodded: "What a coincidence."
"First of all, this is a bionic man." Dr. Xisen pointed to the synaptic fibers and the airway, and then pointed to the surrounding pipelines. "This type of bionic man will definitely not be able to connect to Neuromansion. In other words, Zhuosi cannot Possibly control it.”
"What about the wireless network?" K asked.
“Uptown doesn’t have that low-level information transmission system.”
"If you don't have one, you can add it. Maybe this robot now has a signal receiver in its butt."
The atmosphere was somewhat tense now.
K also doesn't believe in coincidences, and Dr. Xisen is obviously very confident in his judgment.
In the end, Li Liang chose to believe Dr. Xisen and whispered: "Exit the engineering mode."
In the current situation, Zhuo Siyingling and the Marginal Business Department really don't need to play any tricks. They just need to confirm their whereabouts and arrest them directly. If this is a trap set by Li Hao, Zero One Two must be the key.
After hearing the order, Zero One Two's head automatically closed. It blinked and said with a smile on its face: "I am your butler Zero One Two, and I am happy to serve you."
"Give us a room."
"Okay," Zero One and Two turned around enthusiastically, opened the cabinet, took out a card, turned around and handed it over with both hands: "Room 305, this is your key. I wish you a pleasant stay."
Li Liang held in his hand a cheap room card that looked like a hotel from a thousand years ago, and he really didn't expect much to check in.
ten minutes later.
The group swiped the room card to open the door and walked into room 305.
Li Liang was helpless. The guest room was worse than expected, not even comparable to a third-rate hotel in Zhongjing. It was 40 square meters in size and had only a desk and two chairs in addition to the bathroom and three single beds.
K put Cain on the bed that was wide enough for one person, spread his hands and said, "Boss, are you staying here tonight?"
"Hey, it's okay, let's take a look at the scenery first," Dr. Xisen muttered, walked to the curtain, opened it suddenly, and was stunned.
Behind the curtain is the wall.
"It's so damn luxurious..." K cursed.
The three looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"You guys rest first, I'll go down and talk to Zero One and Two," Li Liang went to the bathroom, washed his face hastily, and walked out of the room.
The corridor was extremely quiet, and there seemed to be no other guests in the entire hotel.
Li Liang walked back to the first floor on the creaking stairs and noticed Ling Yier standing behind the counter, wiping a cup with a flannel cloth.
He approached slowly, sat down on the high chair, and remained silent.
Zero One and Two are extremely focused, as if they are not cleaning the cup, but creating art.
for a long time.
The ancient half-bionic half-robot said calmly: "Dear master, what would you like to drink?"
