Chapter 11: Horror

The junction of the 8th and 7th arrondissements is not as quiet as the streets of the 8th arrondissement, there are many mounted policemen standing at the entrance of the streets, they are fully armed to guard the place, check everyone who enters and leaves, and begin to prohibit the people of the 7th arrondissement from entering the 8th arrondissement, the motorized airships are quietly parked beside them, ready to be called, everything looks so solemn, and the air is dull, which makes people feel invisibly oppressive.

Vito hurried to the intersection of the street, and when he saw that the security was so tight, his heart tightened, and he hurried towards the intersection.

"Stop." A mounted policeman blocked his way, ignored his reaction, and swept the badge on Vito's chest with the back of his hand, he had gloves on his hand, and an electronic scanning signal receiver embedded in it, which would transmit the received information to the screen inside the helmet mask of the mounted policeman, the mounted policeman should have seen the information on the screen, and muttered: "Seventh District, Vito 1000," he raised his head and stared at Vito, and asked sharply, "Why are you still wandering around here at this time, and you haven't heard the curfew notice?" ”

"I heard it, but something is delayed, and I'm in a hurry to go back!" Vito was anxious and weak-hearted.

Seeing his timid and honest appearance, the mounted police didn't embarrass him anymore, and urged: "Hurry up, there will be a curfew soon." ”

Vito nodded gratefully and said yes, and trotted through the cordon, but as soon as he entered the eighth arrondissement, he felt different, he had been in this world for almost four months, this was the first time he had experienced a curfew, he had never walked the streets after nine o'clock in the evening before, the program instilled in his mind by the brood master program was to make him a good law-abiding citizen, and Vito 1000 also consistently followed these instructions implanted in the brain in advance, and did his duty in peace.

The streets of the entire 7th arrondissement are more than twice as large as usual, they are either standing at the intersection of the main road, waving shiny helmets with strange lights on them, and they are mechanical monsters who are watching every corner of the block, or riding uniformly numbered black motorized airships, patrolling the streets and three-dimensional spaces below 300 meters, and armored police cars armed to the eyes, looking strange and ugly like reptiles, shuttling through the streets.

There were almost no one on the street except for the mounted police and police cars, Vito walked briskly along the innermost part of the street, during this time, there were already five groups of mounted police officers passing by him, the moment they passed by him, Vito felt the surface of his body's skin, layers of small bumps, and his skin trembled slightly with nervousness, but these mounted policemen just threw him an indifferent glance and sped away, Vito knew very well that it was not yet time for the curfew.

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, there was still more than a minute, and his current position was still more than three hundred meters away from his neighborhood, and according to his own travel speed, he had to run.

Vito didn't hesitate, he opened his legs and began to run at full speed, not squinting, not paying attention to the people or things around him, he had to rush to the gate of the community at the specified time.

There is almost no difference between the body of a synthetic person and a natural person, and in terms of physique, the two sides are roughly comparable, and the synthetic person is slightly stronger than the natural person, because the materials of their body are all refined, and the purity of the material is better than that of the natural person.

Vito's prototype basic motif is a well-known film and television actor more than a hundred years ago, is a standard type man, with a male devil body, strong physique, and the copied motif is made according to his prototype, and even some flaws on the prototype motif have been modified by technicians to become more perfect.

Therefore, the distance of more than 300 meters was not a problem for Vito in terms of physical strength, and he was confident that he would be able to rush back to his neighborhood in a short time to avoid the punishment of violating the curfew.

The air was hot and oppressive, without a hint of wind, and the leaves of the roadside plants were wilting, without a trace of spirit. But Vito felt the wind, and he ran fast, the wind whirring in his ears, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it, and ran with all his attention.

"Stop, the person in front of you stops, and if you run again, you're going to shoot." There was a shouting and sirens behind him.

Vito didn't hear the shouting, but the sound of the siren at this moment was too sensitive for him, he turned his head because of this sound, and glanced back, it turned out how timely this time he turned around, he suddenly saw that a law enforcement special police officer riding a motorcycle airship had raised his arm at him, and a red cursor on the photon gun mounted on his arm was pointing at his body, like a devil's eye, which was an optoelectronic sight.

Vito was stunned for a moment, and he quickly tried to stop his steps, but the huge inertia of running made him stumble under his feet twice before he could stand firm, and then he raised his hands and held his head, motionless.

With a "bang", the motorcycle airship stopped steadily beside him, and the mounted policeman on it stepped in front of him, grabbed his front placket, and asked viciously: "What are you running?" ”

Vito seemed to be frightened silly, and he replied tremblingly, "Time... The time is almost up, and I... I'm rushing home. ”

The mounted officer snorted coldly, raised his hand and scanned the electronic scanner over Vito's badge, then he stared at the monitor on the back of his hand.

"District 7, Vito 1000, programmer of the police headquarters of the Donghu city-state, hoho, or the headquarters." He lifted his head in a round helmet and stared at Vito, who could not see his eyes, but could feel the chill in them.

"Your neighborhood is in front, walk over slowly, don't run, don't hear."

"Yes, I'm not running, but it's curfew time." Vito heard him command, his mind calmed a little, and his tone returned to normal.

"I'm here, no one will arrest you." The mounted officer replied angrily.

When Vito heard this, his heart fell to his stomach, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you very much." ”

"Let's go." The mounted policeman felt that he had suddenly become the benefactor of the other party, so he arrogantly urged, then turned and got into the motorized airship, and was about to leave.

But at this moment, all the street lamps on the ground on both sides of the street began to flicker like cramps, and then the lights in all the buildings on the front and back began to shake violently, flickering and flickering, struggling to resist, but without struggling for a few seconds, finally all the "brushes" were extinguished, and suddenly the entire street, even the neighborhoods next to it, all fell into darkness.

Vito was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what was going on, and looked blankly at the dark street. The mounted police officer on the airship was also stunned, and immediately reacted, scolding "shit." Leaning down, the jet let out a string of shrill sirens, and then the tail of the airship flashed a dazzling light, and the airship flew out like a beast, drawing a brilliant light on the dark street.

There's a power outage! How did it all stop? Aren't there any other circuit power supplies? Could it be that the backup substation was also destroyed? It must have been the thugs who did it. Vito remembered what his colleagues had been talking about in the morning, and his face with long black hair appeared in front of him.

"Thugs." He muttered a sentence in his mouth, but in his heart he couldn't associate the thug with the handsome face in the photo.

He turned his head to look at the long, lonely and dimly lit street, the street was empty, there was no human figure, only the police lights flickering in the distance, and there was an inexplicable panic in his heart.

Vito didn't dare linger in the streets, he had to hurry home, so he continued to walk briskly forward.

Almost there. Vito muttered to himself, he had already walked to the side of the community, and only needed to cross an alley to reach the entrance of the community.

But just as Vito was crossing the alley, he heard a rush of footsteps in the alley on the right.

Vito subconsciously turned his head to look into the alley, only to see a dark shadow running towards him, through the dim moonlight, Vito only saw half of the person's face, but to his surprise, he felt that he had seen this person somewhere, déjà vu, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

The black shadow bypassed the alley and passed in front of Vito, and at the moment when the two were about to pass by, Vito had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he remembered: Ah, Yang Qin, no, it's not him, but the two of them look very similar, and now Yang Qin should still be locked up in prison, but the person in front of him looks too similar to Yang Qin, but he doesn't have Yang Qin's long curly hair.

"Uhhh

Vito quickly turned to the side, his body flashed around the corner, and he already heard the sound of the airship speeding through the air in his ear wheels, and in front of him was the black shadow, ready to gallop away.

It was impossible for him to escape by running like this, the streets were empty, there was no hiding place to use, and his speed could not be faster than the Mountie airship.

Thinking like this, Vito couldn't help but worry about the fate of the person in front of him, but as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, his heart suddenly shrank, and another terrible thought lingered in his mind, making him unable to possess his body.

If I walk with him, will the Mounties see me as his accomplice? Now it's just the two of us on this street, and who can testify for us? It's over, if he is caught, I can't escape, what should I do? What to do? What to do?

In the case of asking himself to no avail, Vito suddenly turned around, like a bolt of lightning, caught up with the black shadow, reached out and grabbed the black shadow's arm, and said in a low voice: "Follow me, quickly." ”

The dark shadow was startled by the sudden change, and when he saw that the person who had captured him was not a mounted officer, but a passerby who had just met him, an incredible expression flashed across his face, but he didn't struggle, and let Vito drag his arm and run forward.

At this time, they were only five or six meters away from the gate of the community where Vito lived, and because of the sudden power outage, the electric gate and monitoring of the community all lost their effect, and the gate was half open, and there was no one at the door.

Vito pulled the black shadow and crawled into the gate of the community, and then he pulled the man to hide in the shadows, and almost at the same time, two motorized airships passed in front of the door.
