Artificial Memory Chapter 10 Abnormal Magnetic Fields
"Nobody cares what you like to eat, Wiki." Taki had to stop the nonsensical chatter, pulled out a thick roll of paper from his waist, and shook it in front of Mosilaire in a flash, "This treasure is the key to the success of our next 'sewer' mission. ”
"What is this?" Mosilaire blinked, and the drawings spread out on the table were marked with tiny words, dense earthworm-like lines of various colors intertwined and tangled on them, and cobwebs covered the entire large thick paper in the flickering candlelight—which made her dizzy at the first glance, and even thought of the wonderful, complicated and confusing formulas of higher mathematics.
"The 'Stealth' mission sounds a lot better than the 'Sewers' mission." Vicky leaned over to the table with Heavy Soldier Wang Huai and explained to a puzzled Mosilele, "This is a map of the sewers in the urban area of New Century City, detailing the various types of sewers buried under us. ”
"But don't we have this kind of engineering drawings in our offline electronic map? I don't understand. Mosilele asked with some curiosity.
"No – those things are outdated. Miss Mosilaire. "If you have the patience to click on its changed properties, you will easily find that most of the planet's digital maps haven't been updated in two years." ”
"Wiki is right, these maps that haven't been updated for a long time happen to include a map of urban sewers in the new century." Taki sighed, "Good thing we found this drawing, otherwise we'd have spent time in the intricate stinking sewers." ”
"It's unusual." VITA raised his doubts: "The construction of such a new colony has always been very fast, and the local electronic map connected to the integrated network should also be updated in parallel with the construction of the project. ”
"Who knows, maybe the network is off here because of the cosmic electromagnetic storm." Vicky didn't seem to care at all, just shrugged his shoulders and pulled up on the map to study it decently—if he could hold on for at least half a minute, he might be able to touch Miss Moselle's heart a little.
"Mind if I scan into the armor?" She glanced at Vicky, who had collapsed on the sofa, and waved her hand at Taki and Wang Huai.
"Naturally, I don't mind." Taki moved the map in front of her, and after VITA had entered it into her hard drive, she continued to discuss the route with her companions.
Mosilaire was not interested in the densely lined, dizzying engineering drawings, and with Vita, a reliable enough friend to worry about the road to the central signal tower, she relaxed herself into the soft back of the couch and chatted with the young equipment maintenance engineer Vikki.
"Where are you going on this mission?" He put his hands behind his head and looked up at the spotless white ceiling, not knowing what he wanted to see on it.
"A central cell tower to investigate the cause of the signal disturbance within the planet and try to restore or structure a communication network." This was not a task that needed to be kept secret, and Mosilaire simply said it.
"I remember the central signal tower wasn't very far from here."
"Well, it's not far." She rubbed the cat pillow in her hand, turning its chubby, fleshy, soft synthetic face into an irregular oval.
"It's a pity we don't have a good way." He yawned, but there was no regret in his tone—after all, it was just a meeting in the water, and there was no need to make some exaggerated crying for the upcoming parting.
"Hmm." She answered, and tilted her head with him, but she still felt that what she saw was different from what he saw.
"Life goes on and on......" Wiki suddenly sighed, and then buried his head in the shadow that the candlelight could not shine on, and without warning said another creepy stupid sentence: "It's better for people to be dead...... Do you say yes? ”
"What...... Is it? Mosilair frowned—she thought she had misheard, but she silently reached for the charged rifle placed on her legs.
"You see—humans—what a fragile thing." He began to speak like a madman: "We have been trying to get out of the dilemma of scarce resources for so many years, but you and I know very well that no science can save us from the quagmire of destruction today—behind the glamorous prosperity of the world's glamorous eyes is a mountain of corpses and nuclear contaminants piled up on a hundred planets, and the mouths of government officials are full of endless false lies and promises!" When stable hydrogen fusion reactors and faster-than-light travel prove unattainable in the current universe, humanity is destined to die alone in the corrupt prison of the galaxy in such a vast universe! ”
"We're just greedy maggots, and we're all bloody in our bodies that need to be purified! One day the stars will burn out, and we will be so fleeting and weak! We can't save ourselves—" Vicky seemed to be in some kind of chilling frenzy, spewing out the whispers of a madman - and he stood up, his tall armored figure swaying in the candlelight, some kind of unobservable evil shadow.
——\\!!! Abnormal Magnetic Field Warning!! //——
An ominous glow flashed from inside her helmet, and Taki and Wang Huai stopped chattering and watched in horror as Viki lost his heart and chanted blasphemous words in the dimly lit hall!
"Our flesh and blood will eventually be united, and the truth of the universe will be seized in eternity!" He opened his arms to nothingness, but a shot of fast-acting tranquilizer was soon slapped into the armor injection slot by Wang Huai, who was quietly approaching his back.
Vicky angrily tried to declare his faith with his fists, but willpower alone was not enough to break free from the control of the powerful biosedatives, and the drugs circulating into his bloodstream caused him to stagger and fall to the ground after only two steps, and smashed a tiny crack in the tile beneath him - interestingly, even with such a big noise, the hostess lying next to him still didn't seem to wake up.
"What happened to him?" Mosilaire was the first to raise the question on everyone's minds, and unfazedly carried it back - when the situation was in such a strange situation, it would be wiser for her to keep her distance from Wiki and his companions.
"Nobody knows." Taki looked at her deeply, trying to see some flaw in Mosilare's eyebrows - but it was doomed to be in vain, for Mosilaire was not the culprit of the farce in the first place—but the estrangement had arisen and seemed to be indelible.
The vice-captain stared at her for a long time before looking away from the interrogator, but VITA's lively voice quickly broke the awkward silence: "Have any of you seen our Mr. 'Actor'?" ”
"Damn-" Taki suddenly noticed that the body of the male who had been lying on the ground had mysteriously disappeared into the blur of darkness, leaving only a little sticky reddish blood in place—how was that possible?!
"Where the fuck did he go?!" Of course, Taki knew that the cosplay-loving man was just a corpse that had just died, but that was why he was so frightened - it was just a hypothermic corpse, how could the creaking joints of the dead move silently out of their field of vision in front of everyone—what a perverse fear!
"That's my question, Mr. Taki." VITA'S VOICE WAS STILL CAREFREE, AS IF ALL THE WORRIES OF THE WORLD WERE INSIGNIFICANT TO HER.
"When did you find out?" Mosilaire heard him gasp heavily, and asked loudly, "Why doesn't my biowave scanning radar have a fucking track of his movements!" ”
"Not long after you 'smechanized' Mr. Wiki with your charm - about 4.973620s." VITA answered his doubts one by one very responsibly: "As for the biowave scanning radar, it is normal for him to move without his trajectory, Mr. Taki, pure corpses are never within the detection range of the biowave scanning radar. ”
"It's impossible!" He held his head and roared loudly, completely losing his composure for some reason, "What the fuck is going on!" What's going on! ”
"While I don't expect you carbon-based creatures to remain as resilient as I do in the face of any challenge, I hope you'll be calmer, Mr. Taki."
"Calm down—cold you-quiet!" Like the wiki, he was suddenly stripped of his mind without warning, and the fear and malice in his heart grew exponentially in the darkness, "What a fucking shit mission - fucking fucking dead people!" ”
Taki took off his helmet and poked out his distorted and frantic face to her in the dim light—his eyes were bloodshot and full of tyrannical color, and even his thick eyebrows were bound together with jealousy, intertwining unknown darkness and secrets.
Spit flew from his mouth, and he accused Mosilaire standing before him with the most oblivious words: "It's all your fault—your fault!" You're just a goddamn recruit, why did you sit in the same position as me in just three or two months—there must be some conspiracy behind this that no one else knows...... I get it...... I get it! You are corrupt, you are wicked!! ”
"You'd better learn to keep your mouth shut, or I'll turn your jaw into a pathetic piece of abstract art." VITA's synth tone froze.
"Shut up...... Shut up...... I'm going to kill you like I'm going to kill the garbage captain who bullied me...... The same...... I don't care about you!!! ”
Taki broke away from Wang Huai's arm pressed on his shoulder, and his vicious voice transformed into the furious roar of a beast, and the genes in his body also turned into a source of fear and sin under the manipulation of an unknown magnetic field!
The candlelight had dimmed, and the air was filled with rays of unease and strange light—his blood was boiling, and at last there was endless darkness and fear in his corrupted body!
