Twenty-Two: Upgrades (B)
In the process of going to the transformation office, although Wharton's demeanor still showed the style of being a prefect in the past, but the tone of conversation had begun to lower his figure, although the position that Du Pong arranged for Vito was lower than his position, but in the future, after all, he was the personal entourage of the bureau, and the relationship was naturally closer than his own, so not only must he maintain this relationship, but even go further, preferably intimately, doing so is equivalent to leaving eyeliner around the person who can decide his own fate, You can grasp the information you want to know at the first time, and even blow the wind and say a few kind words for yourself in some things, and sometimes it is often the words of these personal entourages that can play a key role. From this point of view, Wharton wants to be humiliated, have a good relationship with Vito, and use it for himself in the future.
"Vito 1000, although I have been transferred out of the household registration office in the future, don't forget that I used to be a member here, when I have nothing to do, you can come and go around often, don't make a difference, in the future, I will be in the household registration office, you are by the side of the bureau, we echo each other from afar, then others are not allowed to look at our eyes and act, we can press them together, are you right......"
Vito was only in his mouth, but his mind was not on it, he was guessing what this transformation and upgrading process should look like, whether it would be the same as what he had experienced in the brood? Could it be a pit, waiting to jump on its own? It was all unknown, and he was afraid to go through that process again, but in his heart, he still wanted to figure out what was going on in his brain, so he took the risk of the unknown.
"What? Got in the mind? The uneasy look on Vito's face was seen by Wharton, and he asked with a mocking smile, "Are you worried?" Vito didn't squeak, but nodded.
"Don't worry, this process is somewhat similar to the process you go through in the brood, but it will be much shorter, and it will be fine for a while, because the area of the brainstem area that this upgrade allows to be activated is not large, and the input program is not too much, but for you, the benefits are great, and every synth person cherishes such an opportunity very much, and is proud of it."
After listening to Wharton's words, Vito secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, since he is here, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is nothing more than an experience, and he can define the condition of his brain. Psychologically prepared, that fear is much lessened. Wharton took him, and the two of them entered the renovation one after the other.
From the door, it felt no different, but when the two walked into the door of the renovation place, they passed through a laser security gate, passed through a passage, and arrived at the door at the end of the passage, the door opened automatically, and a person in a police uniform stood behind the door.
"Welcome, Vito 1000, I'm Sandy, and today the Renovation Office is only for you, this is the special care of Chief Dupont, of course, you deserve it, I think so." This man spoke very loudly, as if the objects he was talking to were all hearing-impaired, which made Vito feel very strange, but when his gaze passed over Sandy's shoulder, the scene behind him still startled him, behind it was a very open hall, according to the area, Vito felt that this hall accounted for more than two-thirds of the entire seventeenth floor, the floor of the hall was regularly distributed with many circular patterns, the pattern itself was nothing special, at least Vito himself did not see anything strange.
"Oh... Oh... Oh, the chief is the chief, with the courage that others do not have, Director Sandy is not bad at all, this huge transformation office only serves you alone, what kind of glory is that! It was Wharton who spoke, and he raised his voice a lot, and Vito suddenly understood that it was not they who raised the tone of their voice, but the echo of their voice in the empty space.
"Oh yes, this is too extravagant, I feel at a loss, I'm really ashamed, I can't afford it!" Vito said with trepidation, this kind of scene must be done, otherwise it will make people feel that you are unkind.
"There's no need to say that now, as long as you're ready, we're good to go." Sandy was pleased with Vito's politeness and smiled at him. Vito was nervous, but his mouth still responded, "Of course, I'm ready." ”
"Then let's start now, he retreated, took a few steps back, Wharton also followed him, standing behind Sandy, and at the same time, Vito saw that on the ground between him and Sandy, the circle suddenly cracked, and a fiberglass transparent cylinder slowly rose from the ground, and finally stopped in the middle of Sandy and Vito, it turned out that on the ground, a circle was a circular cylinder.
"Please, Vito 1000." Sandy stretched out one hand and made a gesture of please, and at the same time, the outer glass of the cylinder opened without warning, and Vito saw that this was a nest, but this nest was vertical, and the nest in the mother nest could lie down.
Vito glanced at Wharton and Sandy first, and saw that they both smiled encouragingly, as if they were doing something for Vito with this kind of attention, which made Vito's heart tense again, but in order to solve the mystery, he decided to take a risk.
Stepping into the vertical nest, standing in the card slot position, just standing, the door of the nest was closed, Sandy stood outside the glass cover, waved goodbye to Vito, and made a safe gesture, Vito's heart was completely relaxed, if there was any other means, Sandy would not make such a gesture.
At this time, he felt movement above his head, he looked up, and saw that on his head, a metal clamp slowly lowered, slowly covering the top of his head, and on the other side of the clamp was a hollow metal pipe, which was connected by a cable. When the clamp is on his head, he begins to tighten slowly, and the lower edge of the clamp is on the top of his eyes, the position of his eyebrows. At this time, Vito felt that there were sharp objects gently piercing into the center of his eyebrows and temples on both sides, and there was a little pain, but he could endure it. He looked at Sandy outside the cover and gestured at him again, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, and in an instant, he felt as if his head had been hammered with a hammer, and the person suddenly became drowsy, his consciousness became completely blurred, and the faces of Sandy and Wharton were also distorted and completely unrecognizable.
When he came back from his coma, he realized that he was no longer in the cylinder, but lying on a flat cart.
