"Come in." The voice was majestic, with an unquenching afterglow.

Vito walked into the office with his head down, and the first thing that came into his eyes was a carpet embroidered with exquisite patterns, the carpet was very deep and ankle-length, and people walked on it, feeling soft and smooth, very comfortable.

Vito peeked around, only to see a tawny oak table in front of him, very wide and long, the top and corners were very delicately polished, Wharton sat in front of the table, facing the people behind the desk, on the wall behind Wharton, hundreds of small screens spread over the entire wall, forming a large screen, they are both independent and a whole, and the supreme magistrate of the city-state is in his office to control every move in every district, every street, and every corner of the entire city-state.

"Sir, according to your orders, all the information has been sorted out, please take a look." Vito whispered timidly with his head down, handing over the electronic disk in one hand.

Wharton took it in his hand and nodded at him: "Okay, you can go." ”

"Yes." Vito agreed, stepped back, and in the process swept the man behind the table with his eyes, only to see that the chief was dressed in civilian clothes, tall, slightly fat, slightly bald on the top of his head, with a gloomy complexion, and a pair of triangular eyes that shone with a fierce light.

Vito exited the building's most authoritative office and stood in the hallway, where he let out a long breath to exhale the inhibitions and tensions, and calmed down for a moment before going down the long hallway to the elevator and then to the dining room.

As he passed through the middle aisle of the dining room, he saw Ellie sitting at a table on the right side, and she was the only one at the four-seat table, Ellie winked at him, and pointed to the seat in front of him with a slight movement of her fingers.

Vito understood what she meant, and he took a steak, two slices of bread, and a glass of bean juice and placed them on the plate, then held the plate and pretended to pass by Elle's side, paused for a moment before sitting down opposite Elle.

"What's wrong? You look tired. Ellie whispered very directly.

"Didn't get a good rest yesterday." Vito didn't elaborate further.

"Wharton's assignment is done?"

"Well, just came from the director's office."

"Those people are so bold..."

"It's not for us to worry about." Vito said in a low voice, but when he said this, the director's resentful voice suddenly sounded in his head, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

"Well, these people should be tried by the law, and it's really not our concern, let those prosecutors worry about it."

Elle didn't go any further on the topic, she blinked at Vito with her big clear eyes, a vague smile on the corner of her mouth, and stared at Vito tearing off a piece of bread and stuffing it into her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Vito sensed that there was something strange about Ellie, and asked softly.

"I'm today... And usual.... Is there any difference? Elle clearly had something to say.

Vito hurriedly raised his eyes and re-scanned Ellie, with the memories before and after, he had already sensed the problem, and quickly looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "How dare you do this!" Take it off, it's bad if someone finds out. ”

"What are you nervous about, I've been taking it for a day, and no one noticed it at all, I didn't ask you just now, can you see it?" Elle said casually, in fact, she was happy and moved when she saw Vito's nervous expression.

"Well, it's okay, but it's always too dangerous, so it's better to take it off and wear it when no one is around."

"Hehe, will you show it to someone?" Ellie's silky eyes glanced at Vito, and the teasing look made Vito's heart beat sharply, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest.

What the two men were talking about were two shiny pearl earrings, which hung from Ellie's pink earlobes, swaying slightly from side to side as her head and bun swayed.

And the reason why Vito is so nervous is because Elle's behavior violates the law, because the Code of Conduct for Citizens of the Republic states: synthetic biological people are forbidden to damage any part of their body, unless they are injured by force majeure or accidental force from the outside world. Because in this way, their bodies have different physical characteristics from the twins produced in a batch, and they can be clearly distinguished from them. Elle's ear piercing is damaging her body, and those who are familiar with her will be able to recognize her through the ear piercing in her ear in the future, so this is a violation of the law, and once discovered, she will be punished by the law.

It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and Elle is no exception, even as a synthetic creature, she has such a nature, which is the innate part of human nature, which is innate.

Vito finished his lunch in a state of torment, and the faint smell and charm of Ellie's body on the other side made him unable to control himself, and his heart was shaken.

By this time, most of the people had already left the restaurant, and Ellie waited while eating, and finally finished eating with Vito, which meant waiting to go with Vito.

The two walked out of the restaurant, walked down the aisle, and when they saw that there was no one around, Vito asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?" ”

Ellie was clever enough to know what Vito was asking, and she replied softly, "A little bit, just bear with it." ”

Vito nodded and approvingly, "It's beautiful, but let's pick it anyway." ”

Ellie smiled, turned her head to look around, reached out and took off the two earrings and stuffed them into her pocket.

The two went back to the office, and before entering the office, the two distanced themselves, so that no one was suspicious, because of the constraints of the law, synthetic biological people do not have the right to marry, so two synthetic biological people of the opposite sex walk together, they are very eye-catching, and they will be suspicious of others.

Wharton didn't give Vito any new assignments, and he didn't see him again all afternoon, and Vito thought to himself: he should be busy right now.

His work today was completed ahead of schedule yesterday, so most of the afternoon he spent sitting in his place with his eyes closed, compensating for the wear and tear caused by his willfulness yesterday, occasionally when he opened his eyes, he looked at Elle who was still busy opposite, when she sensed that someone was watching her, she would turn her eyes and sneak a glance at Vito, and under the collision of her eyes, a string of flying sparks appeared, and each other had a hearty smile on their faces.

It's easy to get off work and can go home, Vito doesn't show impatience, he can't show abnormality, he slowly packs up everything, and when everyone else has left the office, he turns off all the equipment, reaches out and presses his waist, there is still a "*", to make sure there is no flaw, he is the last to walk out of the office door, and the door immediately closes and locks automatically.

He turned around and walked to the entrance of the building, but when he raised his eyes, he found that there was still a person standing there, she saw Vito, and twisted her charming posture, Tingting curled, and there was a full charm between her eyebrows, it was Elle.

"Why didn't you leave?" Vito walked up to her and asked in a low voice.

"I have something to say to you." A hint of shyness flashed across Ellie's face, and she hung her head slightly.

"There is surveillance, don't say it here, go out first, go to the service station, I'll wait for you there." Vito brushed past her with his head down.

He went downstairs and got on the light rail train, and the car sprang out like an arrow, and there were many people on the car, and it was discernible from their badges who were synthetics and who were viviparous, but it was clear that in such a common means of public transportation, natural persons were less than synthetics, because natural persons generally owned more private property than synthetic persons.

In a city, there are many synths who look exactly the same because they are from the same basic motive, but even if they meet here, they will not have any communication, because they have been cut off from each other since they left the brood, and everyone has their own life.

All of them had that tired bird on their faces in anticipation of the return of the birds, and after a hard day's work, they were eager to return to their enclosed space, enjoy their own dinner, do what they loved, and rest comfortably without any constraints.

The train stops at the line platform in turn, each time there will be a group of people, and then a group of people will come up, at this point in time, there are always more people leaving the station than entering the station, and finally under such a ratio, the train is empty.

The radio on the train issued a notice over and over again: The Donghu City State Police Department announced that tonight, the second, seventh, thirteenth, and fifteenth districts will enter a curfew at 21 o'clock in the evening, and all citizens must return to their homes at the specified time, and it is forbidden to wander the streets, and those who violate the ban will be sentenced to three months of hard labor, and during the curfew time, those who violate the law will have the right to shoot them to death.....

After the sweet-voiced announcer broadcasts it three times in a loop, the voice becomes a noise, which is irritating and unbearable.

The train stopped at the intersection of arrondissements 7 and 8, and Vito stepped off the train relieved, finally no longer having to endure the annoying noise.

Standing at the corner of the street, opposite is the daily necessities service station, there are many people in it, this is a large service station, it provides daily necessities for the residents of the seventh and eighth districts, the service station is generally located at the intersection of residential areas, in order to facilitate residents to receive.

Vito didn't enter the service station, but stood in an inconspicuous corner, staring at the platform of the light rail train, where Elle should be on the next train.

After waiting for less than two minutes, another light rail train stopped at the station, and it only took two seconds from high speed to stop, which was stable.

A large crowd stepped off the train, and Vito caught a glimpse of Ellie in the crowd, who leaned out of the corner and waved his arms so that Ellie could see him.

Ellie raised her head, looked over here, then buried her head and walked towards it as if nothing had happened. Vito had an approving smile on his face, smart girl.

It was safe in the corner, two sandwich walls blocked the view of passers-by, and the two met here as scheduled.

"You said you had something to say to me, what did you say?" Vito asked plainly.

"Vito 1000, you day.... That day—" Ellie opened her mouth, and suddenly became writhing again, and spoke in a slurred manner.

"What happened that day?" Vito looked a little confused, not knowing what she was referring to.

"It was that day in the basement that you... You say I'm... Pretty, what does it mean? Elle mustered up the courage to speak, but in the end her voice became quieter and quieter.

Vitoden understood everything, his brain exploded, and his mind became a mess, and his whole person's thinking fell into dullness.

"I... I like you. A sentence rushed out of his mouth, and after saying that, Vito felt sorry again, he felt that he was too straightforward, he didn't know if it was possible for Ellie to accept such words, if she couldn't, then he would have made a big mistake.
