Zhang Guoyang opened his eyes, took out his mobile phone, and saw that it was 8:02 the next morning. He scolded, he had only planned to sleep for two hours, but the result was ...... He hurried to the bathroom and washed his face.

In the bathroom, Zhang Guoyang stared at himself in the mirror and recalled the task assigned by Sima Aya.

This task, of course, is also a transaction, and the content of the transaction is first and foremost related to euthanasia. A few years ago, just around the time of the operation of Chen Guangbiao, president of the xchange Chamber of Commerce, the public expected that the 2118 "Euthanasia Act" should be passed, and after the legalization of euthanasia, whether it is a hospital or any other machine, the use of corresponding drugs will not be investigated and is not illegal.

In fact, the hospital where my father worked, in view of my father's contribution and prestige, had privately acquiesced in the use of medicines, and those medicines and appliances had in fact been kept in Zhang Guoyang's house.

But it's a pity that the Comfort Act was not passed, and now the matter is still known to Sima Aya and the police, if the police investigate, many people will be implicated, of course, including the director of the hospital.

Zhang Guoyang didn't know if Dean Cao or others were invited by the police to talk, but on the day he was invited to the police station by Sima Aya, he was really nervous. Zhang Guoyang thought that he would be sentenced, and at the same time, his father could no longer enjoy the treatment of "passing away peacefully", he thought that everything was over. Unexpectedly, Sima Aya said that the police could "temporarily not investigate" or even file a case.

Of course, there are other conditions: asking Zhang Guoyang to "do a small favor". It's that green card. At that time, in the training room, Zhang Guoyang did not feel like he was being judged, but really like a guest, and he was also courteous.

You must know that as of 2118, helping people to euthanize is still sentenced according to the charge of murder.

"What the hell is this card for?" In the bathroom, Zhang Guoyang took out the green card from his trouser pocket and looked at it suspiciously. Is it just a regular stand-in robot rental card?

According to Sima Aya's request, he needs to use this card once at any stand-in robot rental point in country A, and just swipe the card once.

It may be a card carrying some kind of "computer virus". Zhang Guoyang guessed so.

However, Sima Aya asked him to keep it a secret.

(They didn't tell me anything, but they asked me to keep it a secret, what secret?) Zhang Guoyang put away the card, and with a hint of unhappiness, came to the nearest stand-in robot rental point from the hotel.

The distance is actually not close, this stand-in rental site, very remote. Zhang Guoyang compared the map on his mobile phone and searched for a while before finding its location.

It's still an unattended site, fully automated service, and it looks very upscale, but it's a bit gloomy. Rows of stand-in robots are neatly displayed in the site, some of the parking slots are empty, and the robots on the slots are rented.

There are two rows of robots parked in the left and right positions, tall and cold, like two rows of mummies in a pyramid, with empty and mysterious eyes. While walking, Zhang Guoyang felt the slightest chill, and he decided to quickly swipe the card to rent the plane, and then leave this ghost place.

He took out the green card that Sima Aya gave him, and quickly inserted the card into the card slot of a slot according to the arrow prompt. The system prompts you to enter the password after reading the card...... Zhang Guoyang completed the operation step by step.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a hard object push against his waist.

"money_or_life" (money or death?) A voice said viciously.

......

It's a black gangster.

Zhang Guoyang was afraid of guns, he didn't resist, he knew that in a country with free guns, don't risk your life against bullets, no one will think you are a hero.

When the black gangster snatched the green card from Zhang Guoyang, he scolded for a while, which roughly meant: "You rich miscellaneous people can use robots as stand-ins for everything, but we poor people have to risk our lives to rob it ourselves."

Obviously, in this day and age, it is not fashionable for real people to rob the streets in person. Moreover, it must be very embarrassing to take a pistol and put it on the door of a robot's head and make it pay for it - it is not easy to rob a real person in the days when the stand-in is running all over the street.

……

1 hour later, Zhang Guoyang returned to the hotel in embarrassment, cash and bank cards were robbed, and the "green card" was also robbed, and nothing else was hindered. He made a phone call to Sima Aya at the front desk in the hotel lobby to tell her that the green card had been robbed, but Sima Aya did not answer.

Zhang Guoyang waited next to the phone for a few minutes, and an unfamiliar number was dialed back, and the voice of the caller was changed to a male voice and a female voice: "Don't call the police, apply for a stand-in rental card." The voice only said these words and hung up.

……

Two days later, in a secret apartment......

Sima Aya started the computer on the desktop, connected to the network, and opened the software interface, and the data showed that Zhang Guoyang had successfully swiped the card. The "green card" began to play its due role, and she recorded the time: 9:22 on June 22, 2118.

coerced Zhang Guoyang, she was also forced to be helpless, and the task pressed down by her superiors had to be completed.

As the economy recovered, country A felt that it no longer needed much help from country C's engineers. According to the background information, Sima Aya learned that a month ago, country A had begun to restrict the authority of country C's engineers, and in the Pacific Rim network, the stand-in robots operated by country C's engineers had increasingly limited permissions, the number of robots was restricted, the range of action was restricted, and the identity verification of entry and exit on various occasions was extremely strict. At present, these stand-in robots have been "imprisoned" in the stand-in center in Denver and grounded.

For Sima Aya, now, there is no way to use the disguised identity of "Xu Xiaoting" engineer.

This is the inevitable choice of country A, for the sake of national security, they have no other choice, although Sima Aya knows that the diplomats of country C are still actively consulting with country A for various reasons, but most of them will not have any meaningful results.

No one can guarantee that the engineers of country C will not engage in espionage, such as the engineer "Xu Xiaoting".

Country C's intelligence activities in country A were restricted, and Sima Aya's task was to lift this restriction and lay out more eyeliner in country A, but her superiors only gave her a task and did not give her a way. It's up to her to figure it out.

Then, she found her "green card".

The "green card" came from the master's hand, and Sima Aya used almost all his connections, even including those of Yang Yiyi and Zhang Xiaozhu, and with the help of Ah Liang, he found the "green card". However, the makers of the "green card" have not shown their faces. This "master" appears either as a cyber or as a stand-in robot.

He or she calls himself or herself Greenack.

On the Internet, in the process of communicating with the "Green Guest", Sima Aya tried to track the IPv8 network address of the "Green Guest", but she found that the IPv8 address was only the network address of a "broiler", not the address of his own figure.

The "Green Guest" found out about her stalking, but he (she) was not angry, he (she) told Sima Aya very bluntly, "You can't find me, because I don't exist." ”

A lot of hackers are like that, they feel somewhere between being and not being, like flickering quantum—a feeling that Sima Aya appreciates at times, and she wishes she could have it.

Because she is no longer an ordinary police officer, but a member of the National Security Service, she herself is somewhere between being and not being.

June 22, 2118 at 10:10 a.m.

Sima Aya switched the software interface and connected a stand-in......

No. K0021, accessing the ...... Please wait...... (It's really stuck and slow.) Looking at the slowly wriggling progress bar, Sima Aya felt that her patience was running out.

In fact, when the black gangsters robbed Zhang Guoyang, she also connected to a stand-in, which was the one rented by Zhang Guoyang by swiping the card, so to speak, at that time, she was "next to Zhang Guoyang".

It's just that at that time, there were some problems with the green card program, the stand-in robot couldn't move, and she could only watch things happen from the side - this was very embarrassing, Mr. Zhang Guoyang, a stupid person, didn't even find that the gun in the black man's hand didn't even open the insurance, Sima Aya was still nervous for a while, and if he wanted to change it, he put down the little gangster in two or three clicks, but Zhang Guoyang seemed to be just a powerless scholar.

Fortunately, the thug did not take drugs, hallucinated, and then shot indiscriminately, injuring Zhang Guoyang.

The green card package program only allows Sima Aya to operate through a mouse and keyboard, not through VR virtual reality. "Green guest" has been emphasized many times.

Ordinary, even extremely outdated-looking mice and keyboards, and an old computer. Sima Aya never dreamed that she would have to work with objects from "a hundred years ago", and she was already very rusty with the keyboard.

This antique computer was indeed found from an antique store, and all the parts and models have been discontinued for more than 50 years, and the owner of the antique store proudly told Sima Aya that if it is broken, it will definitely not be repaired one by one, except for the owner of the antique store himself, no one can repair it.

However, the boss also promised free repairs, and there should be no repairs for two years. Otherwise, Sima Aya wouldn't dare to buy it.

This big guy that was as heavy as a fat pig was now on the table, in front of Sima Aya.

"Only this model of computer can be compatible with the operating procedures of the 'green card'." That's what the "green guest" who provided Sima Aya with her green card told her. He (she) warned Sima Aya not to run the "green card" operating program on commercial computers, otherwise the intelligence bureau of National A would locate her presence based on the model batch of the commercial computer.

This antique shop was also introduced by "Green Guest". Everything is like a well-arranged trap for Sima Aya, and the "green guest" is the one who sets it, and even she can feel his (her) presence when she stays alone in this dim room.

She felt that this person was definitely not a sloppy tech nerd, but like a huge shadow, and all the dark shadows in the world were part of his or her shadow.

His (her) strategy is extremely perfect, and Sima Aya has no way to deal with this mysterious hacker. Now, she desperately needs a "mentor" who never shows up or explains in detail why—and that's all.

After a few minutes of waiting, the window on the antique computer finally opened. Sima Aya let out a long sigh of relief.

The window video shows the first-person view of a stand-in robot, with the desert in the field of view. GPS shows that this stand-in robot is located in the western part of country A, Nevada, and she feels as if she has gone to country A on the other side of the ocean.

From the vantage point, it's easy to feel that the robot is sitting on a train, looking out the window at the desert. In the dark, Sima Aya thought of Yang Yiyi again, remembering that she was sitting beside her, looking out of the car window with her, looking at the boundless desert......

Sima Aya sighed and retracted her thoughts. She reconfirmed the model of the robot and the brainwave mold characteristics of the operator - yes, this is the stand-in that Mr. Zhang Guoyang is operating.

(Okay, Mr. Zhang,) Sima Aya said silently, (Now, let's see if your trip to country A is enjoyable...... ）
