——AD.2155.2.6——

Detroit, 13th arrondissement.

Far from the city center and major transportation routes, the "violent neighborhood" where no one wants to stay for a long time except for red ice dealers and wanted criminals, at first glance looks like the slums of the city after it went bankrupt three hundred years ago, and the occasional high-tech products and some modern buildings that stand out from the crowd give it a strong "steampunk" flavor.

In order not to attract unnecessary attention, Connor coordinated an old cargo truck from the transportation department and filled the body with construction gravel, a vehicle that no one would want to fight if they looked at it.

"Hey, there really is that kind of guy who originally wanted to hide himself, but after being found out, he immediately recruited a guy who recruited everything." David Anderson sat in the passenger seat and read the confessions of the previous TV staff and casually teased.

"Like I said, most anomalous androids are only as intelligent as children of five or six years old due to their limited knowledge and experience, and it is basically impossible to expect them to come up with any complicated tricks." Connor replied as she drove.

"That's why they're going to take the obviously clever Marcus and force him in?" Anderson raised an eyebrow.

"It's just a possibility." Connor's eyes flickered.

[Confirmation of information, confession of the T750 Project android on Detroit First TV Station.] 】

[Based on the information stated by the androids, it was confirmed that the second group of androids who appeared in the television studio belonged to an organization called 'Jericho', and that they had planned to hijack the studio staff on the day of Marcus's speech and give a live lecture similar to Marcus.] 】

[Because the engineering android belongs to the organization's temporary use of the "Grox" virus to rebel, I don't know more information, but through the reports of other engineering androids, the police later found the speech video they prepared in advance at the place where the members of Jericho were hiding, the general content of the video is basically the same as Marcus's request, but the attitude is not cooperation and negotiation, but through the various elements mastered by the android to blackmail Detroit and force Detroit to recognize its 'freedom', the video has been submitted to the relevant departments of the Star Federation for analysis. 】

"This matter has nothing to do with 'Molded Life' on the surface, and since they basically peeled off the layers of skin on their faces before they came into contact with that android, even if you can recognize it as 'Noss', it won't be of much use to our current situation," Anderson put down the information board, "With our current intelligence, it is almost impossible to extract the truth from that boss's mouth." ”

"Anyway, you have to try." Connor slapped the steering wheel.

[Confirmation information: 'Modular Life' headquarters, 12,508 meters away.] 】

According to Connor's work beforehand, Yberlife is a company that goes with the flow, but not so lucky.

It seized the opportunity of Starlink to start the development of the universe, and vigorously developed virtual intelligence, robotics and automation to solve the problem of labor shortage that may occur in the future, and also obtained a lot of orders in the early stage, but Starlink crooked out of the Martian ruins The android technology directly pressed its business into the soil, and this more intelligent and low-cost new technology made its orders evaporate instantly.

After that, Modular Life wanted to transform and also produce bionic people, but this time there was a problem, because the bionic technology is not yet mature, the bionic manufacturing company that was outsourced by Starlink at the beginning had several accidents, which led to Starlink issuing a decree prohibiting private individuals and enterprises from manufacturing and buying and selling bionic people. Beauty Nest

As a result, the current modeled life is a group company that was manufactured by the android before the promulgation of the decree, operating a variety of labor-intensive enterprises, and by the way, carrying out the maintenance and repair business of the android, it belongs to the type that can't be done big and can't die, and it is due to the existence of the android bodyguard who is not afraid of death and does not need to rest, within the scope of the thirteenth district, it is barely a behemoth that no one dares to mess with.

In the current situation, if it is said that the modeled life that mainly uses android employees does not have any anomalies, I am afraid that it will not believe it itself, but Connor has not found any relevant files within the police station, so either anomalous androids have appeared sporadically and have been suppressed by it, or the anomalous androids were originally created by it and have already prepared countermeasures.

"It's basically useless to come to District 13 this time and ask Illya Kamsky in person, she won't admit anything, mainly relying on your scans to see if you can find some clues about 'Jericho' and 'Noss,'" Anderson looked up at the window: "It's really not possible, we can only repeat the old trick and conduct a sneak investigation." ”

It seems that the result of several infiltrates is the result of a big fight, and if you fight in the headquarters of Molded Life, it is easy to be outnumbered......

"I'll keep an eye on it." Connor replied.

————

From the outside, the headquarters of Molded Life looks like an upside-down gray bowl, and it is not at all like the beautiful buildings built by businesses in the heart of Detroit, which is also due to the environmental impact of the 13th District.

Although androids don't need to rest and are quite reliable as security, instead of patrolling every day to prevent vandalism, it can be said that it is a good idea to directly build most of the buildings underground and then protect the surface buildings.

Due to the fact that Connor and Anderson had already issued proof of investigation and had been informed in advance, the dilapidated truck was not stopped when it reached the edge of the "Big Bowl", and the security androids allowed them to pass after confirming their identities.

After entering the "Big Bowl", Connor instantly felt that the car she was driving was out of place with her surroundings - unlike the gray sky, earth, buildings and pedestrians outside, most of the environment inside the Big Bowl was an almost unreal pure white, and the obviously high-tech surface buildings and various automated machinery made people feel like they were back in the center of Detroit.

As Connor looked at the gray and black wheel prints brought in by the truck and thought about whether to get out of the car and walk, two blonde and blue-eyed, beautiful female androids in classical maid dresses and long dresses "flew" over on magnetic levitation skateboards flying close to the ground.

[Confirm the information, the T1000 maid android, belongs to the modeled life, and the infringement must be investigated.] 】

"Welcome, Officer Anderson." "Officer Connor."

"I'm Serra." "I'm Lijlit."

"Miss Illya is waiting for you." "Please ride them with me."

The two of them cooperated tacitly, and at the end, they sent two skateboards that were exactly the same as their feet to the door of the truck, and it was full of meaning to get off the horse.

"Then, let's go." Anderson shrugged, opened the car door and jumped in.
