Chapter 21: Doubts

"420,000. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The young man with glasses was startled by Kaiyun's voice, and his words were soft: "I know, it's not easy for you to get these things, this price is already the ...... I asked Agarta"

"Okay, deal. Transfer money to my resident card, and help me buy a 24-hour insurance for the funds. The boy didn't know why, the more he looked at this weak young man, the more angry he became. After confirming that the funds had arrived, he raised his hand and stood up from the upholstered seat. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something: "No one will know about this transaction, right?" ”

The young man shook his head: "No, no, I used to be from Area 54 and know the danger of carrying such a huge sum of money in these places. When it comes to information security, there are absolutely no problems. ”

Looking at the young man's submissive appearance, Kaiyun nodded, and for a while, the young man still felt that he was too childish. He simply thanked the young man and left the 16 District Authority office. The whole time, I didn't look at the 'white spear' and the eerie iron door sculpture.

The arrival of the funds and the purchase of a short-term insurance policy are obviously much safer. No matter how chaotic District 16 is, residents with resident cards will still be protected by the Authority. After all, if there were no minimum rules and order......

'Who will weave clean shirts for those inhabitants of Agarta. As soon as he thought of this, the young man who was submissive came to the boy's mind again. He bet that such a guy had been unlucky enough to not be selected as a seed for Agarta......

Kaiyun snorted softly with a snort: "I won't survive at 20 years old."

Anyway, after all, others have this luck. Kaiyun didn't think so much anymore, and began to get busy with his own business, he rushed to the guild and took back the little robot that was deposited.

When he left the guild gate, he was still worried that this was a pre-civilization thing after all, and would cause any unnecessary trouble. As it turned out, he was overthinking.

Most people only regarded this cylindrical little guy as a modified person who transformed his body into this appearance, and did not look at it at all. They believed that there must be a human brain in it, a human - in the age of random modification of bodies into machines, most people tried to keep their human form unless the factory needed it. But there are always some people who can't get along with their human identity, and they like to transform themselves into artificial intelligence.

The only thing that can identify a person is the brain information registered with the Authority.

Finally climbing uphill and returning to his tattered, container-like home, Kaiyun suddenly felt very tired. He sat down on his cold steel bed and lay down. Looking at the little robot running around in this room of less than 20 square meters, familiar with the environment, slowly fell into a dream.

That night, he had a lot of dreams. I dreamed of the Agartha I had never seen before, and the whole city was still golden and shining under the black and oppressive sky. I dreamed that he saw himself handsome in a clean shirt, sitting on a chair with cotton wool, munching on cream. I dreamed that the technician Nor, covered in blood, wielded a cutting saw, sawing open his skull. I also dreamed of fierce membranous lizards pounced on him and tore him to pieces with their long tongues.

But what woke him up suddenly......

It's still the same nightmare in the cave.

It's the same scene, it's the same giant female mechanical creatures, it's the same condemnation of failure, and ......

That same question.

"Where's the body?"

"Where's your body? N70265! ”

Call!

The boy let out a long exhalation and sat up from the bed in a cold sweat. The little robot on the side noticed that the owner woke up, stretched out a slender mechanical arm from the cylindrical body, and pressed the switch on the radio. All of a sudden, the broadcast of the Death Pool game came out of the dilapidated radio.

Sensing the owner's irritable mood, the little robot quickly turned the radio FM, and these hundreds of years of broken things actually released the old music of another radio station of the Authority.

'This little thing ......' Kaiyun snapped: this radio was picked up in the junkyard a few years ago, and he didn't expect it to be able to accept the Authority's management of the event. He didn't understand what was hundreds of years old, and he tinkered with it for a while, but he didn't fix the radio. So I've been learning from other residents of District 16 to listen to the broadcast of the event and chat with other debt collectors if it's okay. I didn't expect that when I was asleep, this little thing actually made up the machine.

Where does it get the tools and materials to repair it?

I don't know, but it seems that the high-imitation maintenance module given by Nogaard really works.

Or rather......

What the hunter gave was the real thing? Because he, like himself, doesn't like who owes him, and doesn't like whom he owes himself?

There is obviously no answer to this question. Kaiyun shook his head and didn't continue to think about it. Outside the window, there was no moonlight or stars in the dark sky, so he put his hands behind his head, leaned on the head of the bed, and looked directly at the photos of debtors in his eyes.

The old songs left over from hundreds of years ago on the radio had been wafting through the small scrap metal room, but the words always echoed in Kaiyun's ears.

"Where's the body?"

"Where's your body? N70265! ”

Kaiyun put his right hand in front of his eyes, and took advantage of the faint and dim light of the factory outside to take a closer look at the thin palm covered with oil: "Why, from the past to the present, I have no impression of the past at all?" ”

The boy slowly recalled: 'The only scene I remember is when I was 4 or 5 years old, I was very hungry and hungry, rummaging through the garbage dump to eat. Since then, I've been living on dead rats and sewage in that dump. When I grew up a little more, I started selling some scrap metal that looked useful to the workers. Later, after encountering Raff to occupy the garbage dump and desperately biting off one of his fingers, he took a fancy to him as a debt collector until now. ’

'Speaking ......'

'Who are my parents?' ’

Before he knew it, Kaiyun was already thinking nonsense: 'That body ......'

'What does it really have to do with me?' ’

No, it doesn't matter what it is, no matter what happens...... Even if it was the powerful power that Technician Nuo said at will, Kaiyun knew that he would never agree to Technician Nuo's condition and exchange his physical body for that mysterious body.

He had only one goal, to get to Agarta, and nothing else.

The next day, after eating a few slices of dry bread as usual, he turned off the power of the little robot and hid it in a hidden place. Then, the boy put on a dusty vest and wore tattered jeans and walked out of the house.

Haven't taken a few steps yet......

A man with rat-eyed eyes and a hooked nose, sliding the miniature tank-like tracks of his lower body, rolled in front of Kaiyun......

brought a piece of news that shocked him.
