Xiang Shan got off the elevator on the dormitory floor on the 326th floor.

In just a few minutes of this journey, more than ten scientific research riders have passed on and off the elevator. But because this mysterious black-robed man appeared so naturally, and too many people turned a blind eye to him, the people who got on the elevator after him felt that this guy was normal.

Behaviorally, this is the group "guaranteeing" the existence of an individual.

However, this guarantee is always a priority. Xiang Shan can keep stealing permissions so that he doesn't trigger the alarm. However, if he wants to pass through those levels that require independent authentication, or even some areas that require verification of the characteristics of the brain-computer interface, then the fact that the system is buggy will be revealed.

He simply didn't have enough time to make up a legal identity for himself.

Moreover, even if there is, at this time, as long as there is a human flesh censor who is not connected to the Internet to monitor, it is easy to judge that there is a problem with you.

Therefore, the kind of thing that "sneaks directly into the laboratory, kills the target, takes the data, and leaves without anyone noticing" can only happen in an era when censorship and surveillance are all based on manpower.

"People" are the weakest link in technology.

It's too hard, too difficult to do in the face of a technological product that can accurately judge friend or foe in a second.

In addition, it is assassination.

Although the transformation of human prosthetics has given birth to the "cyber martial arts", a new era of assassination boxing, it has also increased the difficulty of assassination.

In the days of Homo sapiens, killing a person often only required a needle coated with poison, or powder that could be smeared on a sleeve – or, a pair of fleshy palms. It's so easy to kill someone. People are all up and down, and all of them are the key points. There are as many chemicals that can kill people as many as the stars in the sky. If it is really "regardless of the cost", it is indeed not difficult to kill a person who knows the location.

There are not so many "assassinations" in modern society, but in the vast majority of cases, no organization can really do it "regardless of the cost". For the system of modern society, everyone is just a cog. At the price of "a hundred gears", it is not worth the loss to destroy the opponent's "one gear". Even with the destruction of "one gear", it is difficult to stop the machine of "organization".

Only a great dictator can intimidate by means of "assassination".

Prosthetic technology not only facilitates assassins, but also protects tyrannicals.

Since the whole body is prosthetic, there is no longer the possibility of "poisoning with a slight prick with a needle". The baseline human need for food and water is frighteningly low, so the chances of "poisoning" are pitifully rare. It is even said that the only key point of a prosthetic person is the "brain".

"Assassination" requires the destruction of the opponent's biological brain.

Of course, Xiangshan also has a corresponding plan.

As long as the defense around the target is temporarily reduced to an acceptable level, he can then rush into the area where the Apennines is located and kill the person with his comparative advantage in martial arts.

Of course, first of all, it is necessary to reduce the defense of the target area.

Xiang Shan thought so, walking calmly in the corridor on the three hundred and twenty-sixth floor.

This is one of the quarters for the Knight Apprentices. He used to play the role of "an apprentice who just came back from fieldwork", so it's normal to go downstairs and change clothes here.

Xiang Shan continued to steal the surveillance footage in the room, and soon locked down a temporarily unoccupied room - Deborah's room was unusable because the news of her death had already arrived.

Xiang Shan leaned against the gate, spit out his internal strength, hacked into the security system, and unlocked the door. The door lock here originally had a mechanism that "can be opened in an emergency under special circumstances", and he took advantage of this mechanism, but cut off the transmission of the "state of emergency". Xiang Shan gently closed the door and entered the room.

Of course, there was no one in the room, only a robot vacuum cleaner working. Xiang Shan silently took off the steel shovel on his waist. This thing can also temporarily act as an electronic signal masker, but it can interfere with the blocking frequency bands in a wide range. After arranging the signal blocking, Xiang Shan slammed his hand and punched directly above the sweeping robot.

"Snap", the screw was loosened by the skillful shock. Xiang Shan also grasped the center of mass and center of this robot, and estimated its possible structure.

- Ah, it's not that hard to calculate. There's only a lot of room for improvement, and with the exception of the central information processor, most of the structure is indistinguishable from the 21st century antiques.

"Poof", this flat thing "spit" out a big mouthful of ash and lay down.

Xiang Shan Zhen loosened some of the electronic components inside.

Then, Xiang Shan rummaged through the room for a while, finding things like screws, laser heating pens, tweezers, and silicone. He pulled the dust and garbage aside with his feet, dismantled the robot, and quickly transformed it.

After a few minutes, the robot resumed its work.

It's just that there is already an extra high-explosive bomb in the garbage bag it has built. This is also a good product that Xiang Shan bought from the Fierce Hand Party, a countdown, purely mechanical structure. Its ignition is an instantaneous high voltage generated by the impact of piezoelectric ceramics and the rearrangement of electrons. When the spring for the countdown is fully deployed and the escapement stops, the piezo strikes vigorously.

The "clockwork" part is a synthetic material unique to modern times, and it is incredibly elastic. Filled explosives are also state-of-the-art and have a high energy density.

However, no master can hack this bomb to stop it from exploding, and no hacker can detonate it in advance.

Unless you can take out the bomb and stick a needle into the device to speed up the gears.

And it can't be punctured, affecting the operation of the mechanical structure. Otherwise, it will be an explosion.

It will also blow up when it is taken apart.

If you want to defuse bombs safely, you need a certain amount of skills.

But Xiang Shan stuffed the bomb into it in the state of the robot dismantling. This bomb has a larger opening than a garbage bag. Unless you can disassemble the robot, you won't be able to see it.

Xiang Shan places the robot on the ground. The robot starts cleaning. Xiang Shan is not busy letting this robot that has been tampered with by his own software and hardware go out. After all, the original principles of action still have to be observed.

This purely mechanical time bomb is not afraid of the dark at all, everything is good, but there is one, there is a sound. That "tick-tock" sound is indeed quite obvious.

Although its designers tried their best to reduce the volume, this "faint sound" is always aimed at the ears of natural people.

Modern human hearing depends on the performance of the prosthetic ear, the strength of the analysis software, and the level of the biological brain.

Any athlete and martial artist who has participated in a "no vision" event can easily distinguish this sound from the ambient sound if they have the heart.

And those athlete martial artists, after retiring, either became instructors in the martial arts gym like Matsushima Hirosa, or were recruited by the government. There must still be quite a few of them in the residence of the Knights of Scientific Research.

It's just that, fortunately, this is a robot vacuum.

When absorbing dust, the noise generated by this robot is still greater than that of the mechanical structure countdown system.

So, as long as you don't really have a heart, you won't notice it.

Xiang Shan set a time for this bomb to be one hour and thirty minutes.

Following a predetermined route, the robot will travel to the vicinity of the power supply system on this floor.

"One of the three things that must be considered before using thermal weapons is 'will there be unrelated crowds around'. But I don't think there will be any in this building. Xiang Shan said as he pulled the charging cable over himself while quickly rummaging through the room.

……………………………………………………………………

The envoys of the Six Dragons Sect are in the cleaning room. Beneath his black robes, two pairs of sickle-like prosthetics protruded. The end of the prosthetic limb pierced the back of the heads of the two security personnel, disrupting part of the brain's function with precision, but did not trigger the automatic alarm.

Subsequently, a tiny probe popped out of the end of the prosthetic blade, stimulating the brains of the two guards. Although it can't be precisely controlled, it can still disguise "they are still alive" to a certain extent.

"Next, we need to further disarm the building's defenses."

He sighed. It is not easy to enter this area with such a prosthetic body. This prosthetic body is not his strongest combat power, at least the alloy quality of the outer armor can only be said to be average, not the most cutting-edge material.

With this prosthetic, it's okay to suppress the Green Forest Village, but it's more difficult to spread wilderness in the area of the Scientific Research Knights.

He can't rush out either. His current outfit is incompatible with the painting style of the entire Scientific Research Knights, and it is easy to attract unnecessary attention.

"But it's okay. Now that you have a fairly high level of authority, you can do so much more. The envoy of the Six Dragons Sect thought so.

Outside the cleaning room, there was a series of footsteps.

It was a patrol guard squad.

The envoy of the Six Dragons Sect cautiously waited for the string of footsteps to leave, and then gently put down the two corpses, cleaned up the substance that smelled of blood at the end of the prosthetic, and then left the cleaning room.

He walked briskly to the elevator entrance, but instead of waiting for the elevator, he used his blade-like prosthetic leg to directly separate the elevator door and burrow into the elevator shaft.

This elevator is splashed against a load-bearing structure, so it is not the kind of landscape elevator, the elevator shaft is closed, dark and opaque.

Some of the Order's residences do not have such elevators. Most elevator shafts are required to be transparent. If it is really necessary to have such a completely enclosed elevator shaft because of the building structure, it is also necessary to set up automatic robots inside to guard it.

Merely...... This is a country knight after all.
