"I can't believe it. This is so exquisite. Oh my God, even the pores are made so realistic. It's incredible."
Xiao Jinzi's voice came from beside him. Ma Tao turned his head and found that this boy was staring straight at the side face of the black suit in front of them, and looked at it very carefully. Suddenly, this boy He actually stretched out his hand and ripped off the face of the man in the black suit.
This shocked Ma Tao.
"what are you doing!"
Ma Tao, who hurriedly took two steps back, raised the neutron cannon in his hand and looked at the face of the middle-aged man who was turned around by Xiao Jinzi.
It was a pretty ordinary face, the kind of common face that you would never find in a crowd. There was nothing outstanding about it. The eyes were also closed, and there was no expression on the face. If it weren't for their skin, It's very rosy, otherwise it's almost like a Western demon vampire.
"You're too nervous, don't worry, it'll be fine."
Xiao Jinzi smiled and said nonchalantly.
"I said can you please stop touching things?"
Gao Han was also startled and glared at him fiercely. Fortunately, nothing bad happened. Otherwise, he would have followed the boy forever.
"What? Look, this thing is a robot, and there are still unconnected wires."
As if he had discovered a new world, Xiao Jinzi reached out and found an exposed power cord near the neck of the black suit.
The wire was black, and the section that emerged was two fingers long and quite thin. Ma Tao admired the boy's eyes. After all, he worked on machines and was very attentive to things.
"Don't worry about that. Don't you like working with these machines? Hurry up and study how to move this thing. Didn't you see that the road opposite his father is blocked?"
Seeing that Xiao Jinzi was still paying attention to the wire around the neck of the black suit, Gao Han quickly pushed him and pointed at the slip mechanism below. Who knows, this kid didn't know what he touched, but he kept being honest in front of them. The man in the black suit opened his eyes instantly, his lips moved, and he actually said two words when he opened his mouth.
"Puppet, puppet..."
The sudden change caused Ma Tao and Gao Han to take half a step back again and raise the weapons they had just put down again.
"It's done!"
But Xiao Jinzi in front of him became very excited for a while, and even put his face close to the face of the black suit, and carefully stared at the face and eyes of the black suit.
"What did you kid do again!"
This time even Ma Tao was a little angry.
"Let me just say, the exposed power cord is the negative pole, and it has a conversion plug. I just found the positive pole and connected them and it was OK."
Xiao Jinzi answered Ma Tao's words, his eyes still staring at the black suit that had opened his eyes to observe, but soon he became very disappointed, turned around and said: "I thought it was so advanced, but it turns out it is It’s just a body... It seems like this place is basically a body factory..."
"I said, what are you mumbling to yourself over there? Can you think of a way to get him to move away?"
After waiting for a while, the black-suited robot in front of them not only opened its eyes, but also did not make any dangerous movements. Both Ma Tao and Gao Han knew that there should be no danger. It can be seen that this boy is still studying, Gao Han Han turned over the silver, didn't this kid know what he was anxious about?
The situation is obvious. The glass cabinet with the man in the black suit will move on its own through the track hidden on the ground. The flashing black figure that he and Ma Tao saw just now is him, and the purpose of this thing moving is to The passable stairs inside were blocked. It was precisely because of this that Gao Han was anxious to ask Xiao Jinzi to find a way.
"I?"
Xiao Jinzi turned around and looked at Ma Tao and Gao Han, then looked at the hidden track on the ground, then shook his head and replied neatly, "Impossible."
"How is it impossible? Don't you understand mechanics? You can repair a tank. It's not much easier than repairing a car. It's just a matter of changing the motor responsible for movement in the opposite direction. You can study it and see if you can dismantle it. Come and let this thing move over."
Gao Han originally thought that this would be a piece of cake for Xiao Jinzi, but when he heard the words "impossible", he didn't understand.
Xiao Jinzi, who was completely speechless, looked at his brother Tao for help, but what he saw was a look that also wanted him to give an explanation. Helpless, Xiao Jinzi sighed and began to explain: "Although the reason is very simple, please Take a look, let’s not talk about the strength of this glass cabinet. Just talking about the space below, the power system must not be here. In other words, there are only tracks and transmission facilities here, and they were made rashly. If there is any safety device inside, it would be even more troublesome. Let’s talk about the sturdiness of this cabinet."
As he spoke, Xiao Jinzi stretched out his hand and knocked on the bulletproof glass on both sides twice, making two dull clang sounds and then said: "With this thickness, can we make it open? The designer of this mechanism is to use this thing to It's blocked inside, so it's impossible to break in through demolition, so we conclude that the only control switch and power can only be turned off from the inside."
This explanation, which was like a speech, finally made Ma Tao and Gao Han understand the reason.
"That's why I can't survive."
Ma Tao stared at the glass cabinet blocking them and said.
"Unless tanks can be brought in, it is possible to continuously bombard with cannons, or there are a large number of high explosives, but even if this can be done, the building will be destroyed."
Xiao Jinzi replied.
Since you can't get through it, you can't get through it. The only option is to go in the other direction and see if you can go around it.
After researching for a long time, nothing was solved, but there was no solution.
They took a large circle in their pockets and walked around a booth in the middle. On the way, they actually picked up a pair of copper claws on the ground. Judging from the dusty appearance, this thing had been here for a long time. As for why it appeared here, There is no way to guess, but there are traces of use on this pair of copper claws. It is very likely that they were abandoned here, but in any case, they can use this thing, and they have arrived in the town. You can get some money by selling it, which is equivalent to the money you picked up. If you don't keep it, it will be wasted.
The booth that the three people walked around was also like a sealed warehouse. The booth was boxy and wrapped in bulletproof glass. It was impossible to get in. The only way in and out should be a closed elevator inside the booth. .
There are four robots in the booth, three men and one woman. Three of the identical men are standing in a row wearing blue tights. The only woman is a beautiful woman wearing a dark blue three-point swimsuit with sculpted facial features. Very beautiful, with oval face, double eyelids, and a good-looking one.
This beauty in a swimsuit just stood there so cutely with her eyes closed. Although they knew she was a machine, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi couldn't help but cast a lot of admiring glances at her.
"rogue……"
All this was seen by Gao Han, who glanced at the female robot in the booth and said.
"Why is this a gangster? We are just doing aesthetics."
Ma Tao pursed his lips and looked away from the female robot's only three-point gesture.
Going around the booth, a machine appeared directly in front. Although the screen was full of dust, Ma Tao noticed at a glance that the display screen hidden under the dust was actually on. The machine was connected to the display inside the booth. Power cord Ma Tao guessed that this machine must be controlling some device inside.
“Go and have a look”
Ma Tao quickly patted Xiao Jinzi beside him. This kid also saw the machine. He had already trotted to the device without Ma Tao's instructions, and wiped away the dust on the screen with his hand. , revealing the display screen inside, which is actually a control system.
"What's this control?"
Ma Tao and Gao Han, who followed later, glanced at the dazzling array of buttons on the screen and felt their heads ache, especially when they saw that they even asked for a password.
"This should be used to control the robot inside."
Xiao Jinzi stared at the system on the screen for a while, and then pressed a button on the screen.
As he pressed the button, there was a noise in the booth, and the beautiful woman wearing a three-point dark blue swimsuit opened her eyes and began to walk around the lift in the middle like a model, twisting and swaying. She does look a bit like a model at a lingerie show, but her eyes are still very stiff, the kind that always stares ahead without even moving her eyeballs.
"That's interesting. How do you know it's a switch? Doesn't it require a password?"
Ma Tao looked at the swimsuit woman walking around the booth and asked Xiao Jinzi curiously.
"Generally speaking, when controlling some devices with passwords, many people like to fix or bind the passwords. This is done for convenience. I just tried it casually, and I didn't expect that it can actually be started. But even without a password, give I can figure it out if I give it some time.”
Xiao Jinzi chuckled and didn't forget to praise himself at the end.
"Really? Then can you try to lift the elevator?"
Ma Tao accidentally said such a sentence, and he regretted it after saying it. Sure enough, Gao Han turned his head instantly.
"Hurry up to the elevator? Do you want to go in?"
Huai showed a very suspicious look, Gao Han looked into Ma Tao's eyes and asked.
"I just tried it. It must have been unused for a long time, and the equipment inside has no response at all."
Xiao Jinzi replied.
"I just asked casually, just asked casually..."
Facing Gao Han, Holmes noticed clues in his eyes, and Ma Tao hid in a hurry.
"There is a bulletin board here"
While playing with the console, Xiao Jinzi turned around and found an introduction sign standing next to it. The text on it was still very clear because it was sealed in the glass plate.
"Don't you need to close this thing?"
Ma Tao took another look at the female robot who was still walking as a model and said.
"There is a time setting on it, and it will stop when the time is up."
Xiao Jinzi replied without looking back.
Advanced humanoid display body, puppet.
It has an appearance that is almost identical to that of humans, can have the same setting mode as human lifestyles, is completely obedient to receive instructions, and can perfectly do everything you want.
"It turns out these robots are called puppets"
Gao Han said after interpreting the text above the introduction.
"No matter what they are called, these are just a bunch of emotionless machines."
After Xiao Jinzi finished speaking, Gao Han gave him a sharp look, which suddenly reminded him that his brother Tao's sister was a genuine robot, and she was also super close to humans and super fierce. Thinking of this, Xiao Jinzi quickly looked at Ma Tao beside him, and said in a low voice like a child who had done something wrong: "I didn't mean sister..."
Ma Tao didn't say anything, because he also thought of his sister. Looking at the machines here that are outside of human beings, Ma Tao really couldn't put his sister together with these. These are not the same thing at all. What he sees in front of him is just It can be said that it is just a skin, but there is no soul at all.
Then walking inside, I passed by a children's booth. Inside were two cute and even kawaii little girls, both wearing the same princess dress, but one of them fell straight to the ground for some unknown reason. , showing a weird posture.
This booth also has an introduction sign, which roughly means that dolls can replace human regrets and fulfill your wishes.
Walking further inside is the third booth, which is full of men. There are four in total. Three of them are wearing black tights and one is wearing a yellow windbreaker. After Xiao Jinzi uses the console next to him to start, the one wearing the yellow windbreaker The male robot actually danced inside. One after another difficult dance moves were performed to the fullest by this male windbreaker robot. Every move was perfect, and after every move, he could copy it perfectly, constantly. repeat.
The most conspicuous thing on the introduction sign next to it is the sentence 'Robots can always and perfectly complete every achievement and glory without the slightest error'
"Comfortable...there is no error, so what does Noah mean?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at this sentence and snorted indifferently.
"Human beings want machines to serve humans perfectly, but in the end, perfection will only serve themselves."
Gao Han said while looking at the male in yellow windbreaker who kept dancing in the booth.
"This sentence is very philosophical."
Ma Tao clapped his hands and cheered, which made Gao Han roll his eyes at him, turned his head and left directly.
There is also a small bar for resting at these three booths, but the dust on those chairs means that no one wants to rest in this place.
Then I walked inside and turned around to find a corridor. The layout here is basically the same as on the first floor. But what is frustrating is that there is only a downward staircase at the end of the corridor. I don’t know who built this tower in the first place. As I thought, the stairs here are only built with two floors. As a result, if you want to go up to the third floor, you can only go up the stairs from where they came just now, or take the elevator directly. There is no way, everyone can only go the same way. return.
Ma Tao still did not choose to use the elevator, but still took the stairs. After going to the third floor, the place they came out did not change much. It was still next to an empty room similar to a storage room. But except for this, the layout of the entire third floor But it is completely different. The layout of the east and west halls has been completely destroyed. The entire third floor has been divided into several large and small spaces by the extremely transparent and super thick bulletproof glass downstairs. It had the same specifications as an office, but Ma Tao noticed that the stairs downstairs that were blocked by the black doll were also closed by a circle of bulletproof glass. You could see the stairs inside, but you couldn't enter at all. It was more interesting. What's strange is that the floor above them has been cracked in many places. Looking up, you can see the ceiling of the fourth floor. It seems that there was some kind of battle on the fourth floor, but it also looks like it was deliberately destroyed. Very regular.
Xiao Jinzi wanted to take a look at the fourth floor, but he turned back down within a minute of going up the stairs.
"You can't get out of the fourth floor because the crack blocks the way."
Spreading his hands, Xiao Jinzi said helplessly to everyone.
“It seems that if you want to go upstairs, you can only take the elevator.”
Ma Tao's eyes immediately looked at the red button of the elevator.
The three of them came to the elevator door, pressed the button, and the elevator immediately started running, first on the first floor, then on the second floor, and soon it stopped on the third floor. All three of them were holding weapons to guard against anyone who might appear in the elevator. It was dangerous, but it wasn't. The elevator was empty and there was nothing. The three of them were completely distracted.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Xiao Jinzi glanced into the elevator. When he saw the buttons in the elevator, he was stunned for a moment, then stretched his head back and glanced at Ma Tao and Gao Han with some embarrassment.
"What's wrong? You're suspicious."
After confirming that there was no danger, Ma Tao was about to walk into the elevator. Just as he and Gao Han raised their legs to go in, Xiao Jinzi stretched out his hand to stop them.
"That's nonsense. I just saw that the elevator goes to the third floor."
Xiao Jinzi bit his lip and said.
"How can it be?"
Ma Tao remembered clearly that from the outside, this tower building must be more than three floors. He believed in his eyes and immediately walked around Xiao Jinzi and took a look into the elevator. Indeed, there was only 1F. , 2F, 3F, there are no more at the top.
"this……"
Ma Tao was stunned immediately.
Danglanglang!
Suddenly, the sound of rolling beer bottles clearly reached the ears of all three people. This made the three people's tense nerves instantly become more nervous. They all immediately took off their weapons and took them in their hands. Aimed at the general direction of the sound.
Since entering the tower, they have not encountered any attacks, nor have they seen a living thing. However, without living things, it is impossible to make a sound. If it is an accident, then why is it at this time? If not, then that direction must be There is something.
The sound came from the left side of the elevator, which is where the bar is on the first floor. The space is not very large.
"It's not a mouse, is it?"
After waiting for a while, when no other sound came, Xiao Jinzi, who was holding the flame cannon, breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Ma Tao, who was staring in that direction and asked.
"Have you seen any rats in this building since you've been here for a long time? There is no food at all in this building. If there were any rats, they would have starved to death long ago."
After Gao Han finished speaking, he raised his leg and quietly touched the place where the sound came from. When Ma Tao saw Sister Han moving, he didn't hesitate and followed her. Xiao Jinzi naturally became the queen.
The small corridor to the west was originally narrow, so the three of them had to stick to the wall and approach cautiously. Seeing the distance getting closer, Gao Han reached back and said, "You stay here, I'll go first." gesture.
Ma Tao, who was in the middle, nodded, indicating that he understood, and then turned back to let Xiao Jinzi behind him wait.
Gao Han, who was holding the neutron cannon, slowed his breathing as much as possible and tiptoed towards the end of the corridor. When he was only one step away, Gao Han took a deep breath, squatted down half-crouched, and then quickly reached out. He glanced inside.
At this glance, Gao Han clearly saw a person leaning on a corner and looking at her carefully.
He was a middle-aged old man, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He was wearing tattered clothes that were so worn that the color was almost invisible. Such clothes must have been worn for a lot of walking. There was no doubt that this person must be someone. At this moment, this person seemed to be really waiting for them, and actually waved to them, but Gao Han could also see clearly that this person's hands were empty and he did not carry anything. Weapons can even be said to be unarmed.
"who are you!"
After confirming that the other party was a human being and that there was no danger, Gao Han stood up directly with the neutron cannon in her hand. The protection of the silver-clad mecha made her believe in her own defense ability, even if it was not as good as Sister R. But it's quite difficult to seriously injure someone with one blow.
While talking to this person, Gao Han reached out to Ma Tao and indicated that they were safe, so Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi also walked over directly.
What a joke, if such a person can be considered dangerous, then as a bounty hunter at the peak level of Silver, wouldn't they be Terraqua?
The old man in tattered clothes in front of him didn't reply to Gao Han's words. Instead, he looked at the three of them with cautious but still a trace of longing eyes.
"Isn't this another robot?"
Maybe because he had seen too many puppets he saw downstairs, Ma Tao subconsciously thought that the one in front of him was just a puppet, but one wearing a little filthy clothes.
"You...you are the robot"
Unexpectedly, when Ma Tao said that he was a robot, the old man gave up and actually started to speak.
When the old man opened his mouth, his words were a bit stumbling, but his enunciation was quite clear and he should be able to communicate.
"You are a person asking you, why don't you speak?"
Xiao Jinzi looked him up and down and said.
"She asked me who I was..."
When the old man was speaking, he looked at Gao Han and paused for a moment, then looked back, as if he was confused and said: "I have forgotten who I am, who am I..."
As he spoke, the old man seemed to be lost in memories, and his eyes became a little dull.
"This old guy is indeed a human being. Maybe he has been here for a long time and his brain is a little abnormal."
Xiao Jinzi looked at the old man who looked like he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease and was afraid that he would hear him, so he whispered in Ma Tao's ear.
As for the identity of this old man, Ma Tao could basically tell after observing the surroundings. There was still some human excrement left around. This was something that no machine could do. Even his sister could act like a normal person. Eat, but the food you eat cannot be digested and can only be vomited out. My sister has been like this before. The purpose is just to disguise. Since my sister’s identity was exposed, Ma Tao has never seen her eat or drink anything. , everything except living things does not have a digestive system.
