"Yes sir, your arm is completely repaired. Now you can move, do you feel something else......"

The black man sat up from the operating table, behind which was a dense pile of mechanical parts, and the old equipment hanging above it was as complex and cumbersome as a dentist's device.

The sound of hydraulics came from his arm, and he thanked the old man in fluent Dongying: "Thank you, Vic. Your craft is unmatched. ”

"Of course, at least in Shuangye City, you won't find a second place where you can completely repair your arm without having to sign up for health insurance." Vic, the black doctor, said flatly, the pair of telescope-like electronic eyes shrunk and stretched out a hand towards the black man, "Well, it's a total of 17,000 New Yen." Please pay the bill. ”

"What?!"

The black man was startled.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Vic, did I mishear, are you sure...... S$17,000? ”

"Of course, you didn't mishear the child."

Vic, the black doctor, walked to the workbench on his own, octopus-like claws extending from the mechanical backpack behind him, busy on the workbench.

"S$17,000, of course. Because, if it's a universal coin......"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to pay the bill."

Vic's clinic is housed in one of the darkest building units in Shuangye City.

The chaotic map of the violent order is full of gangs, small private forces, and no universal coins in circulation.

In most cases, the currency of exchange is specially unified, and the circulation of the new yen in Toei has long been banned on the surface, and any use of paper money to pay bills is considered illegal.

It's like using counterfeit money in the past.

So here, the coins used by people in the last century became the most popular general equivalent on the black market.

A thin black man carried a huge bag, and put it in front of the black doctor Vic with a pop, he didn't look at the bag under his feet, and the robot directly stepped forward to take the bag away.

"Welcome next time, lad." Looking at the backs of the two of them scolding and leaving, Black Doctor Vic turned his head and continued to be busy with his own business.

It was a long time before he spoke again.

"Lord Blade, when did the snitch learn how to behave like a ninja?"

A bright light came on, and a figure appeared in the light, the shadow pulling on the matte metal floor.

He looks like he's been waiting a long time.

"No, Mr. Vic, I've been waiting for this for a long time."

"Then I'm sorry, Lord Blade. After all, you are my old customer, and I can put aside my work for you for a while, not to mention ...... You've been waiting so long for the situation. Vic, the black doctor, turned around and looked at the figure that was gradually walking towards him—an ancient gas mask, a long black trench coat, and the mechanical legs that he had amputated himself, and he remembered that the young man in front of him had specially asked for two knives on them.

"Stop talking nonsense, Vic the Black Doctor. I'm short on time, and there's still a lot of work to do in the capital. ”

A black metal arm slammed into Vic's workbench, and the steel slammed into each other with a crisp sound.

"Oh ......"

Vic's mechanical eyes rolled, and a preliminary analysis of the arm appeared before him.

The arm is rugged and is a right-handed one. Barely wrapped in outer skin and iron armor, the contraptions inside were brutally exposed to the air, and there were even old-fashioned gear designs stuffed with all sorts of primitive weapons - steel knives, spikes, saw blades.

"Very interesting stuff...... I guess from those robots? The mechanical claw behind it grabbed the arm, splitting into countless small dismantling devices, which were placed on the workbench and quickly disassembled.

"That's right." Blade Jue raised his arm, and a long elbow blade with high temperature and heat was drilled out of his elbow, and the white energy changed violently in the air, "It took me some attention, and I also caused two of my subordinates to be injured a little...... But I guess that should work for you. ”

"For the time being, that's it. I'm a little interested in the technology of these robots - it can be seen from this arm that their weapon systems are unusually primitive...... Or rather, brutality. ”

"There are very few energy devices and new energy devices...... God, this arm turned out to be powered by petroleum energy! Crazier than my clinic! ”

A black liquid trickled down from the disassembled device, and Bladelord leaned in curiously.

He had heard of oil, which had been banned from energy before he was born.

Pungent and unpleasant smell, dark and eerie in color.

"The world of the last century was dominated by this kind of thing...... unimaginable. ”

His face armor analyzed that the energy level of the liquid in front of him was abnormally low, and it was completely incomparable to the new energy source.

"Now it's the world of energy weapons...... I'll take my chances, but I just wanted to get an idea of the approximate combat stats of this robot. How much work did it take you to cut off this arm? ”

Bladelord was silent, the two bulb eyes on his gas mask glowing green.

"It's a little hard, that's all I can say, Dr. Vic."

"It's a little hard...... It seems to be very valuable for research. But the data that this arm shows ...... In addition to oil, there are also many circuits, that is, are the two energy sources mixed? It's so much fun. ”

"I wonder if you still have the potential to be a scientist?"

"Before I came here, I used to work on the West Coast, Lord Blade."

West Coast?

Blade Jue's face was stunned.

"Yes, it's an economic city of a high-welfare state. The sun, the sand, and the bikini beauties are so much better than this dark street full of garbage houses. ”

"That's true...... No one wants to live here, Lord Blade. ”

Vic, the black doctor, stopped what he was doing and put the arm back on the workbench. The claws reached into the device on the wall, spewing white vapor out of it to clean it, followed by Vic's hands.

"So...... Do you want a new yen, or a universal currency? ”

"I don't think you have a universal coin." Bladelord shrugged.

"So...... That's the chest, Lord Blade. ”

Vic, the black doctor, pointed to a robot with a black bag in his hand.

"If I'm not mistaken, that ...... just now"

"That's right, it's his. You'd better pray that he's using genuine money, or, that it's not missing. Then you get S$17,000 in cash, and then you go three blocks to the left, I think it's Long Bridge, and change it to the universal currency, and that's it. Anything else? ”

The robot delivered the box to Blade Lord's feet, and the man opened the bag, revealing a wrinkled pile of new yen bills.

"No problem. But I really hate these old newspapers. ”

The smart panel counted the banknotes, a total of 17,000, no more, no less.

"Of course, in the dark street, no one can deceive me......"

"Because you're the only doctor in the streets, aren't you?"

Blade Jue dragged his bags and left.

Vic, the black doctor, suddenly stopped him.

"Wait, Bladelord."

“？” The man turned to look at the old man.

"I'm quite happy with this arm. I'll give you one more piece of information for free. ”

"Generosity?"

"Have you seen the data box I sent you?"

"Of course I did, and I couldn't wait to see it when I was still on the power train...... You're right, old fellow. Sunrise, I can't deal with it. ”

"Did you hear about tonight's concert? The one that young people like. ”

Blade Lord's eyes jumped suddenly, and he blurted out: "Winter sound? ”

"Looks like you know better than I do." Vic pointed at him, "Looks like you're ready to go." Then this message will not make much sense. ”

"What do you want to say?" Bladelord frowned.

"Nothing...... If you still have some opinions about Sunrise, you might as well go to the concert and you will find something unexpected. ”

The Blade Lord looked at the old man in silence, nodded after a moment, and turned to leave.

Walking out of the dark street, Blade Lord picked up a communication.

"I've changed my mind, Miki."

"Boss, you're not going to tonight's concert, are you?" The voices of his subordinates were a little surprised.

"Nope. Tonight's action is abandoned, and we'll all go, and so will the fat man. ”

"Hah...... Yes? ”

……

"Your Excellency, I don't approve of your trip." The woman with short red hair stood in front of the man with a grim face.

"Don't worry, Danda."

The two of them wore wrapping proton robes, and the space they were in was bright.

"Are you sure you've blocked out the aerial detection?"

"Of course, Speaker. But ......"

"No but. I used to stay in the base to watch the concerts in winter. I was lucky enough to see it this time, so it was naturally good. ”

He turned and looked at the red-haired woman, a small smile on his face.

"Danda, you would never have imagined how hot this idol is in various parallel dimensions...... And ......"

He pulled out the metal object under his robe—a palm-sized terminal full of flowing encrypted messages.

"This prophet tells me that something interesting is going to happen tonight."

In the sky above the capital of Dongying, a transparent ripple moved rapidly, silently. Below, a noisy and glittering city, a highway crammed with hovercars.

……

"Speaking ......"

Looking at the pink cherry blossoms that kept fluttering outside the window, Dongei Zero turned his head to look at the man next to him, "Will these flowers bloom at night?" ”

"Of course...... Wait, I'm starting to wonder if you're from Toei after all......" Nishikio, who was lucky enough to sit next to Toei, twitched the corners of his mouth and said.

"Miss Dongying Ling has only returned to China not long ago, and she has taken a break from the semester at a famous university in China, so it is normal not to know this."

The girl's eyes rolled at the envoy Yuan Long who was in the driver's seat in front of her, and said, "It seems that you haven't investigated me yet...... Drive seriously. ”

Dong Ying Zero had to admit Dr. Levi's ability, at least in terms of falsifying his identity, his ability was still worthy of recognition. Although that's the hacker's job.

"What I want to know more is...... Why should you choose to drive manually? Isn't it too much trouble? ”

In the era of widespread automation, it may seem strange that people still use manual vehicles, but Toei Zero found that with the exception of some of Sunrise's internal vehicles, most of the private cars on the streets are manual driving, and most of them do not seem to have autonomous driving functions.

"That's it. You were in ...... before Study in China? ”

Dongying Zero nodded.

"The popularization of automation in China must have been completed except for places like slums...... But in Dongying, most of them are manual suspension vehicles. Because of the problem of lanes - there is no such floating lane built on the clouds on this side of the capital. The envoy Gentaka explained.

"Hey...... Have you noticed that the boss seems to be really good at talking lately, eh......" Nishikio whispered to Kato Soso beside him.

"What are you talking about, that's just ...... to some people"

Kato Soso secretly glanced at the girl who was leaning against the car window and watching the cherry blossoms on both sides of the road, and secretly swallowed his saliva.

"What are you two muttering behind your back? When am I deaf? The voice of the envoy Yuanlong was dissatisfied in front, and the two people behind hurriedly shut up.

There wasn't just a hovercar, but a whole convoy, and it was just that Dongying Zero asked to sit in the car of the envoy Yuanlong.

The huge advertising projection screen outside the window, which was an advertisement for the latest robot in the last second, has become a concert in the winter season in the next second.

Is this guy really that popular?

"Grass ......"

The hovercar came to a slow stop.

Dongying Zero looked ahead, and the vehicles were jammed into a long line.

"It's a real problem...... I want to run over by myself......" she sighed and muttered quietly.

"That's bad luck...... I forgot it was time to get off work...... Why is the concert held on the last day of the weekday? Kato complained loudly.

"The concert starts at eight o'clock...... Hopefully in two hours. ”

Dongei hung weakly by the car window, one hand gently hanging out of the window, looking at the virtual cherry blossom trees fluttering in the street next to him.

At this moment, an illusory shadow flashed from the sky, immediately attracting her attention.

AR vision opened, and she was stunned, as the pitch-black shuttle slid from above, but the crowd below was completely unaware.

"Envoy."

"Huh?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this side of the capital is off-limits. Right? ”

"That's right. What's wrong? The envoy Genlong was a little puzzled.

"Nothing."

Looking at the small dots in the distance, the line of sight penetrated the countless clouds and instantly zoomed in.

A green mechanical eye logo is presented in the vision of countless magnifications.

Eye of Septic.

"Night."

"Do you need me to take a look?"

"Hmm. Go keep up with that shuttle. ”

By the window, where no one noticed, a dense stream of data fell from between Toei Zero's fingers like flowing water, turning into a blue brilliance and quickly soaring into the sky.
