Chapter 377: Uncanny Valley

Noisy.

Messy footsteps.

In front of the dark and damp passage, there were countless more flickering lights.

Blurry, not clear to see.

Lu Wen felt that this memory might be underground.

But suddenly he saw a bright light.

It was a small window, embedded in a stone wall, and the glass was covered in wet moss.

Through the window, it was a haze outside.

Distance.

Vague......

There is a building.

The surface of the building is covered with twinkling white stars.

……

"Sir? Are you alright, sir? ”

A gentle greeting came from the ear.

Lu Wen rubbed his forehead, raised his head, and found that it was an android.

The android was looking at him with concern.

"It's fine." Lu Wen responded calmly.

"If you feel any discomfort, you can go to the Star Building for help, which has the best medical equipment."

"Okay."

Lu Wen dealt with a few words briefly.

The android leaves after making sure he's okay.

The androids here are similar to the terrestrial world, with the safety of humans at the center.

After the memories retreated.

The hustle and bustle of the night fills my ears again.

Light, shadow, sound, and shadow, all perceptions are restored one by one, and the world around them becomes real again.

Lu Wen looked up into the distance.

Far away from the Starry Building, there is only the Haoyue Mansion with the same height.

"Zero wakes up? Someone happened to see the hatred of humanity that she had engraved in the program and brought her to the underworld for transformation? ”

Everyone is playing memory recall.

Go back and ask Zero again for a chance to see how much she has remembered during this time.

"I don't know if this memory is real...... If it had happened, I would have been on the top floor of the Bright Moon Building......"

The Haoyue Mansion in the distance is brightly lit.

The missing moon symbol at the top shines like a pure white crystal.

Just as Lu Wen was thinking, a man in a black robe suddenly walked up to him.

The man looked mysterious, glanced left and right, then lowered his voice and said to Lu Wen: "Brother, do you want to kill the ticket?" ”

Lu Wen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly.

"Yes."

He took out a thick stack of bills from his bosom and shook it.

The man's eyes lit up, and he pulled out a standard card from his pocket.

The ticket here refers to the ticket.

A ticket to enter the stars.

Naturally, it was the temporary employee ID card that Ivan mentioned to Lu Wen.

"You can only stay in the Starry Mansion for twenty-four hours, remember, this card will be invalid after twenty-four hours, and if you want to swipe the card to go out, it will be useless, you will be picked up and beaten by the security guards of the stars, and then twisted to the nearby deacon, you will be locked up for at least fifteen days, last time there was an unlucky guy ......"

Deacon's house, quite familiar name.

Could it really be the same people in the Floating City?

It's a pity that those old councilors were stabbed one by one by the old mayor of Canterlot, and the Supreme Council fell, otherwise they could still ask what happened.

"Understood."

Listening to the man's request, Lu Wen nodded.

According to Ivan, most of the people who buy temporary employee cards here have acquaintances in them and can get a small amount of supplies.

A man went in empty-handed and came out with his bag.

The potions or other materials in it are enough to recoup the ticket price, and you can also make a lot of money.

Ivan, who has a relationship, can drive into the underground garage of the building and return with a full load.

But there are also quite a few people......

There are no acquaintances, and there are no connections.

I want to try my luck again.

After entering the Starry Building, wander around and find those research departments or individuals who can get the goods, and before you know it, you will be delayed...... Twenty-four hours actually flies pretty fast.

The deal is closed.

Lu Wen took the card and walked towards the Starry Mansion step by step.

As for the authenticity of this temporary employee card, there is no need to doubt it too much, after all, this matter is tacitly approved by the senior management of Fanxing.

If anyone dares to sell fake goods near the park and cut off the financial routes of some high-level officials, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat.

There was no one at the entrance of the building.

In a large company, a small number of people are working overtime at night, and most of them go home to rest, and the pace of life in this world is very slow.

As for those who work overtime...... It's hard to say whether it's really for work or not.

Maybe it was an appointment with someone else to trade supplies at night, so he chose to stay.

"Drip-"

"Welcome home."

Lu Wen slowly walked into the hall under the gaze of several security guards.

Huge crystal lamps hang down and shine brightly.

The interior of the hall is simply decorated.

Mainly white, supplemented by a variety of concise stripes and stars.

There was only one android at the front desk, smiling all the time.

"Twenty-four hours is enough to do a lot."

Lu Wen walked through the hall, and there was an elevator in the lower area at the back, and the upper area in the back.

He stood in front of the elevator in the lower zone, looked at the number of floors, and hesitated for a moment.

The button was not immediately pressed.

There was a guy next to him who was also waiting for the elevator.

The man whispered, "Brother, come in and try your luck?" ”

"How do you know?" Lu Wen deliberately replied in a rather surprised tone.

I only heard the man say proudly: "You didn't wear a starry staff uniform, so it is likely that you bought a temporary employee ID card to come in, I saw you just entered the hall and looked at it a few times, it is estimated that it is the first time to come, standing in front of the elevator and hesitating, and there is no appearance of contacting anyone, so you are a complete newcomer at all?" ”

"My brother is amazing, you can see it."

"That's ...... I've seen a lot of people like you. The man continued: "It's a pity that most of them just come in and run into a wall, eat a gray face, and then leave in a gray way, and there is no way, so don't do this business." ”

"Brother, do you have a way?"

"Of course, who doesn't know me?"

Basically, you can be sure that it is blowing.

If you know a real high-level person, you can be like Ivan, pulling supplies from car to cart, and all kinds of medicines, parts, and guns can be obtained.

Don't wait for the elevator here with Lu Wen.

But Lu Wen still asked in a low voice: "Brother, can you introduce me to a few ......?"

"I can't."

The man shook his head.

He just wanted to show off the superiority of the old dealer in front of the newcomers.

"This is my unique way, I won't tell anyone except my own brother......"

Before he finished speaking, he only felt a cold palm.

Lu Wen stuffed something for him.

It's heavy, and it's heavy.

He touched it carefully to confirm that it was a metal object, in the shape of a long strip, and glanced down.

Golden.

His expression was calm, and he was silent, and kicked the gold bar into his pocket.

"I didn't expect to meet my long-lost brother here."

Sure enough, as long as there is money, the whole world can find relatives.

"Brother, you are so rich, and you still come to do this business?"

The man asked, then pressed the elevator on the twelfth floor.

"Life is too comfortable, it's boring, I want to find something exciting to do." Lu Wen replied.

"Looking for excitement? Playing this kind of difficult as soon as you come? ”

The man sighed and shook his head, as if he didn't understand a little, but he could barely understand.

Rich people's fun?

Take the goods from here, and then pass through the high border wall, from the high-level world of pure human race into the barren and backward middle world outside the wall, and sell it to other races to make a difference.

The intermediate process does not sound tedious, but it is full of dangers.

Some organisms need genetic drugs, but are poor, have no money, and don't want to die, so they may take risks and rob their personal middlemen.

If you grab it, you can live for a while longer, and if you don't grab it, you will die early.

"Brother, what's your name?"

"Xia Wen."

"Brother Xia, my name is Lin Lin."

As he spoke, the elevator came down.

The two walked into the elevator together.

Lin Lin asked, "Brother Xia, do you have a gun?" ”

"Nope."

"Do you know anyone in the Middle World or the Mixed Zone, and do you know how to ship it?"

"No, I don't know."

"You're really here to play with your life?"

Lin Lin's eyes widened, and then he glanced Lu Wen up and down.

The elevator rises slowly.

Seeing that Lu Wen had delicate skin and was not very old, he felt that it might be the young master of a rich family who ran out to experience life without permission.

"Brother Xia, if I had your conditions, I would never do this in my life, eat and drink well every day until I die of old age."

"Everyone has their own aspirations." Lu Wen smiled.

"Yes, everyone has their own aspirations......"

Lin Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the gap between people and people is so big.

Some people are born without worrying about food and clothing, but they just want to find excitement between life and death.

Probably this is called having nothing to do when you are full?

"Brother Xia, do you plan to do this all the time?" Lin Lin asked tentatively.

"No, I just wanted to experience it."

"Oh, that's good......"

Lin Lin finally confirmed that this was indeed a young master from a rich family.

After a few moments of chatting, the elevator had arrived.

Twelfth floor.

The elevator doors slowly opened.

Outside, there is a pure white hallway, with pure white floor tiles and wall paint, as well as the overhead lights.

"Brother Xia, you just follow me, the interior of this building is very complicated, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful, so some unlucky guys can't find a way in it for twenty-four hours."

"Can't I buy a few more employee IDs?"

"Every employee ID card has a time limit, and what you buy today can only be used today, and it ...... Very expensive. ”

Lin Lin was at the forefront.

Since it was night, there was not much of a crowd here.

Along the way, there were left and right turns, twists and turns, and they were all exactly the same corridors, the same pure white.

It's really easy to get lost.

"Brother Xia, you have grown so big, have you never left the high-level world?" Lin Lin asked.

"Yes, I usually stay at home."

"No wonder...... You can follow me this time, it's too easy for a person to have an accident, I know some shipping bosses in the middle world, and I can also take you to visit the red light district over there, the pure human race is very respected over there, think about you taking out a stack of banknotes from your arms and spilling them in the air, those girls all stick them up and call you young master......"

Lin Lin promised that this trip would make Lu Wen quite satisfied.

After receiving the money, he will do things.

This idea is deeply ingrained in his mind.

Lu Wen gave too much.

Besides, he felt that Lu Wen was the young master of a wealthy family, so he felt that it was necessary to befriend.

"Brother Xia, have you ever seen a movie called Brave Mixed Zone?"

"Nope."

"This movie is about a rebellious rich young master who secretly went to the mixed area of the bottom world to have fun, but was targeted by the enemy, embarrassed, changed into tattered clothes and hid around, and finally met a group of good brothers in the mixed area, defeated the enemy, and found true love in the mixed area......"

In between the conversations between the two.

Little white ants climbed down from Lu Wen one after another and began to swim towards each floor.

Not long after, Lin Lin took Lu Wen to the door of a certain laboratory.

On one side of the door is written the night duty officer.

"Brother Xia, wait for you to go in and talk less, just be familiar."

"Okay."

followed by a plot that conformed to Lu Wen's calculus.

Lin Lin knocked on the door.

The door opens.

The men inside called the two of them in.

The interior of the laboratory is simply decorated, mostly with all kinds of valuable experimental instruments, and some large and small bottles and cans, which are soaked in some biological organs or limbs.

"Why are there more people?"

"Doctor, he's my cousin, and he has some money in his hand, you see......"

"Yes...... Tell your cousin not to be blind. ”

The man gestured to the glass case beside him.

All kinds of potions, parts are placed randomly.

These are things that are very valuable in the mixed area, and they are quite common here.

There are also many black bags on the side of the cabinet.

Lin Lin called Lu Wen to step forward.

He picked out two mechanical arms, thirty potions, and a pistol, and whispered to Lu Wen: "Brother Xia, you must take a gun for self-defense." ”

"Brother, you don't have a gun?"

"No, I have, I took this thing to sell it in the middle world, this is the real profiteering, but unfortunately I can only take one at a time."

After Lin Lin's selection was over, Lu Wen also took some things casually.

Then the two paid the money and left the lab.

After staying away from the door of the laboratory, Lin Lin spoke: "Brother Xia, it was inconvenient for me to say more just now, but you took some useless things. ”

"What's that?"

Lu Wen opened the zipper, and in addition to a gun, there were needles and tubes.

Inside the syringe are different agents.

"This thing." Lin Lin pointed to one of the rows of needles.

"This?" Lu Wen took one out.

"Yes, it is a kind of sleep aid, just like diazepam, but the drug is stronger, and one injection can make people sleep for more than 12 hours."

"No market?"

"This thing basically can't be sold, people in the middle world don't have to worry about sleeping, but it's okay, anyway, Brother Xia, you're here to experience life, you ...... You ......"

Lin Lin's voice stopped.

He looked down at his thigh, where a needle was inserted.

It can make people sleep for 12 hours......

"Brother Lin, get up tomorrow morning and this bag of resources will also belong to you."

Lu Wen smiled at him, and then punched him in the back of the head.

The back of the head is a position where the punches are strong and accurate.

If it is light, it will not stun people, and if it is heavy, it will be killed on the spot.

The kind of casual stuning method in the movie is difficult to operate in practice.

……

Building High Zone.

Night.

Singh sat in his office on the fifty-fifth floor, his face calm.

There are no lights on in the office.

There is no official business to deal with.

He sat in a chair with his back to his desk, his breath calm, and in front of him was the huge floor-to-ceiling glass.

Sitting here, you can overlook the whole high-level world.

The bustling lights of the night shone in his eyes.

As one of the fourteen powerful men in the stars, second only to the leader who had been sleeping, he enjoyed the feeling of looking down on the world.

"Click......

Suddenly, there was a voice behind me.

Singal was familiar with the sound, and it was the office door that opened.

In this kind of silent night, there is nothing urgent, and no one should disturb him.

He frowned and turned around.

The office door is facing the desk.

Lu Wenzheng gently closed the door.

"There was surveillance, but the security guard in the duty room was asleep."

"I know there must be bugs here, and I don't bother to bother to look for them, but you definitely won't let them out for the rest of our communication."

"The starry garrison is much worse than I thought."

"By the way, I know there's a panic button under your desk, but I think I've cut the line."

Lu Wen turned around slowly.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he made a smile that was not too ugly.

"Don't try to open the drawer and take out that gun, I should be a lot quicker than you."

Singh's hand reaching for the drawer froze.

He raised his head and faced Lu Wen.

There was no light in the office, but the bright light outside at night could barely see the faces of the visitors, who were very young and innocent.

"What do you want?" He didn't panic and asked calmly.

"A truth."

"The world is hiding a lot of truths."

"I want them all."

Hearing this, Singal was silent for a moment.

Naturally, he knew a lot of truths, and those truths could keep a pure human race like him in power.

In the face of life and truth, Singer chose the former.

"I can give you the truth, but ......" He looked into Lu Wen's eyes and said seriously: "I didn't give it to you, someone else." ”

"No problem."

……

Everything went quite smoothly.

It went smoothly beyond Lu Wen's imagination.

So much so that he wondered if there was someone behind this who had designed everything and was waiting for his arrival.

There is a feeling of being in a pre-set script.

He left the Starry Mansion with the truth of a storage disk.

Lin Lin and the two bags of supplies were placed by him in a storage room in a corner, and if nothing else, he would wake up tomorrow morning, no more than twenty-four hours.

At dawn.

Lu Wen returned to the old platform at the edge of the high-level world.

Everyone here knows him.

"My lord, you're done so quickly?"

"Well, when are you going back?"

"You can go now if you want."

"Now then."

There are too many materials in this storage disk, and Lu Wen needs to hand it over to the body of the surface world in person.

I have to find an opportunity to tell the people of the underworld.

[Very Cruel Truth]

Lu Wen was still sitting by the window, opening the old window.

The morning breeze is gentle.

The tram starts.

The orbit rises little by little.

The high-level world gradually became small in his sight.

It didn't take long to drive past the border wall.

Come to the Middle World.

After jumping over the high wall, the track begins to lower, but it is also tens of meters high.

Below is the territory of the dwarves, the terrain is rugged, with many valleys and ravines.

There are quite a few parallel tracks around.

If you stand on the ground and look up, these tracks look like long dragons, entrenched in the sky.

"If nothing else, I should be able to ...... today"

"Drip ......"

Suddenly, there was a shrill train horn from one side.

On the parallel track on the right, an equally old tram suddenly arrives.

Catch up.

Then it slowed down, parallel to the tram where Lu Wen was.

"Drip ......"

A whistle was also heard on the left.

Lu Wen's brows furrowed.

Three trams run in parallel.

He's in the middle.

is the only passenger of this car.

As for the trams on the left and right, they are full...... Humanoid machines.

The androids were expressionless and identical, like stiff sculptures carved out of a mold.

It looked like a corpse with its eyes open.

They stood by the window, all staring at Lu Wen.

Those mechanical eyes glowed with a strange blue light.

Lu Wen smelled some kind of dangerous aura.

It's not going to be easy.

"There is some truth to the uncanny valley theory of mankind."
