AD.2154.8.15——

60、61、62。

The numbers made up of a faint aqua blue glow are constantly changing.

The box elevator that Connor was in at this time was silver-gray as a whole, and the walls and floor were as smooth as a mirror but not reflective, only a heroic woman was reflected in the elevator door.

She wore a crisp pale gray women's suit and matching trousers, a short black tie at the neckline, and straight hair with a white and pink shawl, and the contours of her facial features and face were close to that of a bohemian, while a small ring at the corner of her forehead was emitting a faint blue light.

While looking at herself, a corner of Connor's vision projected three pieces of information that only she could see:

[Loosen the bow tie slightly to increase affinity.] (Model)】

[Roll up your sleeves slightly to increase deterrence.] (Rebellious)】

[Keep the current look.] 】

"Hmm......" Connor thought for a moment, then began to roll up the two sleeves of his costume in small sections.

69, 70, ding.

As the box stopped, the elevator doors opened to the sides, revealing SWAT officers standing outside the door with guns in their hands, wearing dark blue uniforms and body armor, their heads and faces obscured by helmets and masks.

"Negotiators have arrived on the scene." He said with his head down into his walkie-talkie, waving to Connor for permission to continue.

At this moment, the blue ring on Connor's forehead flickered slightly, and his eyes had scanned and memorized the visible indoor environment.

The entire 70th floor is a relatively wealthy single-storey apartment, with relatively high-end decoration and furniture, and at the same time, for lighting or clear view, except for private rooms, each hall is divided by transparent walls, so it can be seen that several people dressed similarly to the guards are searching or guarding everywhere.

At this time, new information emerged in the corner of the field of vision.

【Enter the apartment. 】

Connor withdrew her gaze and walked down the hallway towards the main hall.

[Group photo of the investigation.] 】

[Investigate the goldfish.] 】

Connor noticed that on one side of the hallway was a shelf of various crafts with a group photograph of a group of people, while on the other side there was a large hole in the huge ornamental fish tank, and the flowing water was wetting a large carpet, and a goldfish was fluttering on the carpet.

She first approached the group photo and took a closer look, confirming that the figures on it were a middle-aged couple, a girl of about seven or eight years old, and a T450 male android.

After noting their appearances, Connor approached the fish tank and examined the holes and the goldfish.

[The presence of large cracks in the fish tank, rather than just a piercing hole, suggests that the destruction was not caused by a mass-effect firearm.] 】

[Majik tabby goldfish, the market price is about 5,000 star coins, in a state of suffocation, the remaining survival time, 2 minutes and 24 seconds. 】

Two checks appear on the Hole and the Goldfish, respectively, and at the same time, the options appear again in front of Connor's eyes.

【Put the goldfish back in the fish tank.】 (Model)】

[Ignore the goldfish and leave.] (Rebellious)】

【Eat the goldfish.】 (gluttony)】

"......" Connor stared intently at the third.

————

"Wait, wait, I can't leave my poor girl, she'll be scared-"

"I'm sorry, ma'am, that 'guy' has a gun in his hand, and we can't put you in danger."

When Connor entered the living room of the apartment, he saw a middle-aged woman being taken out by two SWAT officers, both of whom were quite resolute, but the woman's strength was clearly not comparable to theirs.

After a slight comparison, Connor confirmed that she was the middle-aged woman in the previous group photo, but looked panicked.

"You're an expert negotiator? Please save my daughter! The woman looked up at Connor and immediately rushed over and grabbed her hands, right on the wrists she had just rolled up her sleeves on.

[Answer "Don't worry, ma'am, leave it to me, I'm a professional."] (Model)】

[Answer: "If you continue to delay my time, I cannot guarantee the outcome."] (Rebellion)]

[Be silent.] 】

The halo on Connor's forehead flickered, but she didn't answer.

"Oh my God, you too, you're just like 'them'......" When the woman noticed this, she let go of her hand and turned to the SWAT next to her, "Can't you send real people?!" ”

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but you have to leave." The two SWAT officers did not respond, nodding to Connor and continuing to lead the woman in the direction of the elevator.

[Search the apartment for clues.] 】

[Ask Captain Allen, the on-site commander, for information.] 】

After the woman leaves, "Enter Apartment" is ticked off and removed, and two new options emerge.

Connor looked around the apartment, but found no obvious clues, but spotted the blond, brown-eyed Captain Allen - only he was not wearing a helmet or face shield, but he seemed to be watching the surveillance with his teammates and did not notice it.

As Connor walked towards him, a new option emerged:

[Say hello before approaching.] (Model)】

[Pat on the shoulder after approaching.] (Rebellious)】

[While approaching, "Eren was forced into the bathtub alive" was played.] (Poor Qi)】

No track found.

"Hey, buddy!" Connor approached Captain Allen and patted him vigorously on the shoulder.

"Oh! Shet! Captain Allen was startled, turned around and pulled out his gun, but his hand slipped and he took it out directly, and was caught by Connor who was right behind him.

"Calm down, man, I'm here to help." Connor unloaded the magazines under the vigilant gaze of the SWATS, and then returned them to Captain Allen together.

"It seems that your skills are really good, I didn't even notice how you got close," Captain Allen put away his gun stupidly, "but this trouble can't be solved with good skills." ”

"So I'm waiting for you to explain." Connor looked around.

There are only a handful of SWAT officers who remain here to inspect the surveillance, and many more are forming a siege formation on the wide rooftop of the apartment.

"To cut a long story short, the housekeeper droid in this apartment went crazy and snatched the man's original firearm as a collectible and killed him, and then kidnapped his daughter, who is on the edge of the rooftop at the moment, and if a sniper shoots, he will fall with her," Alan paused, "Do you have any other questions?" ”

[Ask the android's name, if it has had any previous anomalous behavior, and if it has been stimulated.] (Model)】

[Ask for the android's stop code, the topographical map of floor 69, and the preparation for the assault.] (Rebellious)】

[Don't ask questions, continue to investigate the apartment.] 】

"If there's an immediate solution, you've already done it," Connor shook his head, "I need to search this place for more clues." ”

"Please, but better hurry, I'm not sure what that guy will do next." Alan gestured to the information board in his hand, which showed a young man holding a girl hostage with an antique pistol and standing on the edge of the rooftop, and Connor could confirm that they were the androids and girls in the previous group photo.

At this point, the two prompts for searching for an apartment and asking for Alan are ticked off, and a new entry appears.

[Search the girl's room.] 】

[Search the android's room.] 】

[Search the scene of the living room.] 】

As Connor confirms the location to be searched, a dark green "0" and "1" appear out of thin air, forming a new entry:

[Rescue John Phillips.] (Special)】

"......" Connor stared intently at the last one.
