"Tick ......"

"Tick ......"

Old clocks hang under the eaves of the dark night.

The hour hand beats from moment to moment.

On the rusty dial, the numerals are blurred.

Black cars drive through the streets.

The hour hand points to twelve o'clock in the morning.

The wheels come to a slow standstill.

Three floors away.

The doors open.

The golden bear's face was calm, he couldn't see the joy or sorrow, he was dressed in formal clothes, and under the guidance of the waiter, he climbed the third floor again.

Outside the building, there is a hustle and bustle, light and shadow are intertwined, and alcohol and perfume are mixed and drilled straight into the nose.

Quiet inside the building.

White and gold accentuate solemnity and heaviness.

Ivan and the other twelve owners of the second floor were waiting for him.

The atmosphere was a far cry from the excitement of a few hours ago.

No one spoke.

The golden bear slowly stepped forward, his eyes were indifferent, and he walked to his place and sat down.

Ivan's broad body occupies the highest position, dressed in a white suit, without any expression on his face, his breath is calm, his eyes are slightly drooping, and a fat hand is turning a transparent wine glass.

Under the bright light, the glass reflected the distorted figures of everyone present.

Thirteen two-story masters, plus Ivan.

The table was empty.

There was no dinner.

The last supper has already been eaten.

Calm.

From time to time, there was one or two droplets of water dripping.

The atmosphere slowly solidified in silence.

It's like a clockwork that is slowly tightened.

The sheet steel bar was tightly coiled, getting tighter and tighter, but the invisible hand still did not stop.

"Click......

There's a voice.

It was Ivan who put the glass on the table.

He raised his eyes slightly, and within his line of sight was the long table and the thirteen guests at it.

"It's in good shape, I want to use it."

After that, there was another silence.

The other twelve people did not change, and still sat indifferently in their places.

Jin Xiong raised his head slightly, there was no expression on his old face, and he just said lightly.

"Broken rules."

"Natural ......"

Ivan smiled calmly, and the flesh under his face did not shake.

"I took it like this with my ability, and it really broke the rules, but ...... It's a three-story building, and my rules are the rules of the mixed zone. ”

Very plain sentence.

But the domineering between the words cannot be refused.

Jin Xiong is naturally not Ivan's opponent, so he said the rules, not for Bao Luwen.

but for his benefit.

"Three years."

"Yes."

Ivan looked up at the other twelve men.

The men sat peacefully.

No one spoke.

It's everyone's tacit.

With Lu Wen's body, in exchange for the three-year right to use the golden bear in the second area, no one else can attack or take away his original area.

If the Golden Bear didn't fight for anything and just let it out, Ivan would be suspicious.

"That body, from the higher worlds, is a kind of robot that is exactly like a human......"

Ivan calmly looked at the glass in front of him, as if there was something wonderful in the empty cup.

"That is the most perfect creation, when God created the world, he gave the most perfect appearance and wisdom to human beings, but he did not dare to give too much, so the human beings in the higher world created that kind of robot, with powerful ability and wisdom, immortal, there will be no more perfect race in the world."

"Do you want to do it to the guests of the upper world?" The blue man, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Heh......"

Ivan chuckled and looked at him indifferently.

"Kate, my old friend, you've always been very cautious, so you can sit long enough on the second floor, but ...... Too much caution often doesn't make a big deal. ”

Let's talk about it.

He turned his head to look at the Golden Bear and said, "I think Brother Golden Bear knows, that person ...... He should be a fugitive from the upper world. ”

Golden Bear nodded in agreement.

"That's true."

Hearing this, the blue man stopped talking.

The other twelve people in the room, after the banquet in the evening, seemed to drive away, but in fact they did not go far at all.

They knew that Ivan had something to say, so they came back early.

The location of the second floor is not just about playing down.

It also needs to be approved by Ivan.

Take a token from Ivan.

The people sitting here now have such a token in their hands.

But after the banquet in the evening, Ivan did not give Lu Wen.

This situation has only occurred twice in the two-story turnover that has been in place for more than a decade since Ivan came to power.

The last time was five years ago, when the newcomer who sat on the second floor was very young, drank too much at the banquet, and threatened to one day become another owner of the third floor in the area, supporting each other with Ivan to expand the territory together.

Ivan smiled and said he was looking forward to it.

That night he had the young man's head taken and hung it outside the three floors as a blood-dripping decoration.

But this time, Lu Wen behaved decently.

Didn't say anything inappropriate.

Now after the respective words of Ivan and Golden Bear, everyone here understands.

Piff is not guilty.

Jin Xiong added: "I have lived longer than all of you, I have been lucky, I have been to the high world, and I have seen that kind of robot, which is rumored to be not easy to control, the design is flawed, and it is easy to run away with self-awareness, but they were all captured before escaping from the high world, and none of them have escaped to the mixed zone until the other day......"

He briefly talked about the experience of getting to know Lu Wen.

From the beginning of paying attention, to designing Dong Fan's death, testing Lu Wen's combat power, and then to grabbing the territory last night, Lu Wen showed strength.

Of course......

The whole process.

He deliberately ignored a part.

Like what...... In his communication with Lu Wen, he found that Lu Wen did not seem to be ...... the high-level world Too familiar.

So much so that information needs to be purchased from those under him.

Even he felt that Lu Wen was not very familiar with the whole world.

It seems that it has only been turned on for a long time, and he has escaped from the high-level world without ingesting any relevant knowledge.

"Wait a minute."

Buzz, the giant, suddenly shouted to stop.

He hunched over, looked at the golden bear, and asked in a loud voice, "You said he survived a big explosion and didn't even burn his clothes?" ”

"That's right, that's why I'll give him the second area and become a cooperative friend with him, not a subordinate or superior."

"Is it some kind of technology from the upper world?"

"I don't know, he's always been mysterious."

"You say he can blow up a gun?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe he really has some kind of ability, after all...... He is the most powerful technological crystallization in the high-level world, and if you really want to deal with him, you must be extremely careful. ”

Next, a few more owners of the second floor asked about the Golden Bear.

This time he did it to Lu Wen, and it was Ivan who was in charge.

It was also Ivan who made the move.

But they're all worried that the tech monsters of the high-level world are running into their territory, so they have to ask.

And Ivan...... Moody.

It is not impossible to send their men to death and test the strength of that man.

After all, his words are the rules here.

No one dares to disobey it.

"Weakness."

Ivan suddenly tapped the table.

He looked at everyone, and his little eyes narrowed slightly, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his mind.

"It's not about how strong the machine is, it's about what its weaknesses are, and I want to get a fairly complete body...... Brother Golden Bear, tell me about it. ”

"Weakness ......"

The golden bear lowered his head slightly, muttered for a moment, and frowned, as if he was thinking.

Ivan did not rush and looked at him calmly.

The other twelve owners of the two-story building also cast their eyes on it.

After a moment, Jin Xiong raised his head and said hesitantly, "This person ...... After all, it's a machine, and the weakness he shows...... If there is one, it can only be the blue mother and daughter. ”

"Are you sure?"

"No......" Jin Xiong shook his head, "I've only known him for a few days, and he doesn't talk much, and his expression has always been cold and flat. ”

"So it's likely that he doesn't have weaknesses?"

"But after all, it's a machine, don't worry too much, the most powerful mechanical people I've seen so far can't resist the crowd tactics."

It was the robot Allen who said this.

He's a very powerful machine in his own right.

"I've arranged for people to keep an eye on the street where he lives." Golden Bear looked at Ivan, "If nothing else, he won't leave tonight." ”

"What if something happens?"

"We'll just have to go and see it first."

……

The night is quiet.

Cars drove slowly under the dim street lights.

"We didn't show any hostility towards him before, so we didn't need to be too cautious, and it didn't matter if we were discovered."

"It's business as usual."

Thirteen two-story masters, as well as Ivan.

Everyone was sitting in the car.

There are also countless thugs in the back.

Darkness covers corners where the light can't shine.

Every now and then a blue cough or two can be heard in a corner of the window.

Golden Bear gets off.

He said into the headphones, "Don't move, I'll take a look." ”

The old man's skills were much more agile than he looked, and he jumped lightly, without making a sound, to a certain platform on the first floor.

The view here is wide.

Not far away is the street where the blue race lives more.

"There's a problem." He said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Ivan's voice came from the channel.

"My people are gone."

"Are you credible?"

"They've been with me for a long time."

When the other second-floor owners heard this, they all frowned unconsciously, except for the mechanical one, his brow was smooth metal, and there were two layers of reinforcement inside, which couldn't be wrinkled.

They just came along and took a look.

After all, it is the technology of the high-level world, and most of them have never seen it, and they did not observe it carefully at the banquet today.

But......

It was an accident.

"Tick ......"

"Tick ......"

Drops of rain suddenly fell from the sky.

It's raining.

Without warning.

Artificial rainfall.

The fine rain streaked across the endless night and fell on the quiet world.

The windows of the car were soon covered with fine and dense rain marks.

For those sitting in the car, the view of the outside world is blurred.

Although there are lightweight monitoring instruments carried by the golden bear, which allows them to see clearly, there are still a few people who feel uncomfortable.

"Golden Bear, what's the situation now?" A reformer asked.

"I don't know, I'm contacting those guys I arranged, this damn artificial rain." The voice of the golden bear came from the channel, and the rain was dripping.

The remodeler who questioned wanted to look out the window.

But the windows were glued.

The rain is getting heavier.

The whole world was connected into a curtain of rain, as if it was about to submerge the small car compartment.

He didn't like to be in such a dreary car.

It made him feel uncomfortable, like he was about to suffocate.

As a second-story owner, this transformer is quite confident in his own strength.

So he opened the door.

"Tick!"

A drop of rain hit his forehead.

It's cold, it's chilly.

The sound of the rain, which had been isolated before, was suddenly amplified at the moment when the car door opened.

The whole world is raining rain.

This transformer enjoys the feeling of fresh air and freedom.

But within a few seconds, he heard some kind of subtle sound.

Not too far away.

The voice was dissonant.

It's dangerous.

Raindrops jumped on the tiles and flapped between the branches of the trees, splashing softly like a farewell song of mourning.

A rotating metal warhead breaks through the rain curtain.

Slowly dilated in the pupils of the transformed person.

Death comes from far and near.
