Jingle bell~

The retro brass bells hanging from the door beams sway from side to side when the door is pushed open, and the bells are still very clear in the wind and snow.

A middle-aged man with a long white trench coat draped over his shoulders, long hair that only had the old "aristocracy", and a touch of green with a touch of sassy green, entered the door with two subordinates dressed similarly.

The shelves in the hall are neatly placed with the parts needed for various types of mechanical dolls, the limbs are divided into left and right, the length is a column, the facial features are a column, and the torso occupies a separate shelf, hanging with an iron hook, both men and women.

In addition to these parts, there is an open space on the right side of the store, which looks like a display area for finished products, with several delicately shaped dolls, and pink floor lamps around their heels, which is bright compared to the dim lighting in other areas of the store.

It's just that they're all dormant, so they stand in place in a certain position.

There is no doubt that this is a doll shop.

"You look at the wind, only I can speak, understand!"

The aristocratic middle-aged man repositioned the pistol pinned to his waist to make sure that the store's manager could see it later, and if he was lucky, he might be able to make a fortune without having to draw his gun.

"Okay, big brother!"

"No problem, big brother!"

The two young men, whose hands trembled because of nervousness, leaned together with pale faces and replied in a trembling voice.

"Sir. ”

"Who!"

The sudden sound startled all three of them, and they hurriedly turned around to see a female mechanical puppet for reception standing on the side of the shelf.

"I'm a waitress in the store, and I'm honored to serve three of them, what do you need?"

With his hands folded on his waist and abdomen, the puppet asked.

The incandescent light of the store was particularly pale against her body, and the meshing parts and interlaced lines were faintly visible in the gaps in the joints of her limbs, and it was clear that this was a low-level service doll, and judging by the level of wear and tear of her shell, the second-hand price on the black market was only about 2,000 federal coins.

"Where's your boss?"

Carrying his clothes, he hid the handle of the gun around his waist and asked in a muffled voice.

"The store manager is not in the store today, I am the agent, do you need anything?"

Keeping his original movements, his gaze turned to the middle-aged nobleman, completely unaware of the repetition of his sentences.

The repeater seems to be one of more than just human beings.

"Impossible, how can there be any reason to let you look at the store with such a low-level goods, your store manager must be in ......"

The middle-aged aristocrat stepped forward and reached out to grab the neck of the mechanical puppet and continued to ask, who would have thought that as soon as he raised his hand, his wrist was grabbed by the other party.

The lights in the room dimmed, and the movements of the mechanical puppets froze in place, except for the palms of their hands still clutching the wrists of the middle-aged man.

"Hey, what the fuck, a piece of garbage would dare to do anything to a human. ”

In the dark, the middle-aged nobleman reluctantly turned his arm, touched the handle of the gun on his waist with his right hand, turned his head to look at the two younger brothers behind him and shouted,

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and find out the store manager!"

Just as the two little brothers were about to approach the inside of the shop while pulling out their guns, several pillars of light suddenly lit up in the open space where the dolls were placed, attracting the attention of all three of them unexpectedly.

A male mechanical puppet looked up in the aperture, twisted its neck slightly stiffly, and its gaze stayed on the three of them: "Please stop this meaningless temptation, we do have a cooperative relationship, but that's not a reason for you to tempt in this way, it's 23:21 at night, and I can only give you 39 minutes." ”

Bang!

Two gunshots.

Gray and white gunpowder smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun, and in the sparks, two blood flowers bloomed.

The corpse overturned, red and white goo dripping beneath the shattered skull.

two

"How did you find out, I think this camouflage is pretty good, these two people spent a lot of time in the neighborhood to find supporting characters. ”

Effortlessly, he pulled his hand out of the palm of the mechanical puppet, pressed his index finger to a place between his neck, and inflated the skin above his neck, and then reversed and grabbed his jaw and lifted it up, and when he put it down, there was an extra human skin mask in his hand.

"The next time you disguise, it is recommended that you go straight to the face, which may be more effective...... Elaine, fortunately. ”

The doll had already gotten up at this time, walked up to the middle-aged man, turned his head and said to the waiter next to him.

"It is my pleasure to serve you, Mr. Connor. ”

The stagnant mech re-runs, bypassing the two of them, fetching the store's cleaning equipment and starting to build dirt on the floor.

"Facial transformation is not good, I am very satisfied with my body, the great being chooses me, then I no longer belong to me, any private transformation is blasphemy, it is an unforgivable betrayal. ”

Brown short and medium hair hung down to his shoulders, took out a pair of gold wire glasses and framed the bridge of his nose, looked at the puppet in front of him, and continued,

"Mr. Connor, don't you think this kind of conversation is very insincere, I came in person, but you used a robot as a microphone to prevaricate, could it be that your organization does not have even the most basic trust in us?"

"No, Mr. Benjamin, it is enough sincerity for us that I have appeared before you, and its thoughts and actions are of my own will, so it is me. ”

"That's the philosophy of you top hackers?"

Benjamin smiled naturally, but there was no warmth on his face.

"You can think so. ”

Connor's voice paused, and then he continued,

"With 37 minutes and 26 seconds left, time is precious, Mr. Benjamin. ”

With a froze expression, Benjamin's originally somewhat drifting gaze instantly converged on the eyes of the mechanical puppet, and behind him, the obscure darkness was so thick that it was difficult to dissolve!

"Mr. Connor should remember the basis of our cooperation, the program is about to begin, and we would like to know how prepared you are. ”

After a long time, Benjamin took the initiative to speak, which was also one of the main purposes of his coming here today.

There is no doubt about the strength of the Ouroboros, but they are about to face a super city, regardless of anything else, the Heavenly Brain of Thousand Sails City is undoubtedly a great obstacle to the implementation of their plans, and the power it can burst out in certain illusions, even they must face its existence before the Great Being comes.

With a group of top hackers, the Tree Realm can be said to be a hole card in their hands against Heaven.

The attempts of the underlying community are enough to prove that this mysterious organization has a force to be reckoned with on the network, and in the next plan, the play of the tree community will be a key link.

"Any attempt to destroy the Heaven's Brain through violence is a meaningless and foolish conjecture, the goal we need to focus on is not to destroy, but to temporarily close down, and the lower city is different from the low-level community, there is only one way to achieve this goal, Firepattern, that is, the Tinder model of the Heaven's Brain, as for the meaning of this special model, please allow me to conceal for the time being, Your Excellency seeks to meet this time, in my opinion, what you want to do is not only to ask us about our progress, but also to show us your strength, so as to ensure that we will not back down。 ”

Since it is cooperation, it is naturally impossible to agree on anything by verbal words, compared to empty promises, showing strength is the best way to maintain stability, Connor has already guessed the significance of this step of the Ouroboros, and through a cold mechanical voice, he continued,

"If you can't make it up, then there's no point in what we've prepared, so start putting on a show and we'll see!"

"You're smart. ”

Benjamin looked at Connor, the words of praise simple yet meaningful.

Raising his hand, he took out a metal ball from his right pocket and threw it in front of him.

Before it hit the ground, the bottom of the metal sphere activated a levitation mechanism, suspended between Connor and Benjamin, and then cracked in the middle, revealing a soybean-sized lens, from which columns of light extended to form a light curtain.

There is snow on top, a building on the empty floor in the center, and a sign representing the airboat docking station.
