…… However, not long after the hotel was built?

Russell glanced at No. 44, who was in his early twenties at most, and asked with some hesitation, "May I take the liberty of asking...... Miss No. 44, you ...... this year"

"I'm 32 years old, sir."

No. 44 replied calmly, "Tartarus is less than ten years away from being built, so it will be the pride of our Tongshen Islanders. ”

Is it really the pride of the people of Tongshen Island?

Russell was silent for a moment, didn't ask the question, but instead smiled, "You look very young...... What's your name? ”

"I don't have a name, I'm just number 44.

"As for my appearance – all of our employees who work in Tartarus have to have a prosthetic conversion rate of more than 83%. The skin I am using now is a simulated artificial skin that has been removed from the natural skin, and there is no possibility of aging with age. ”

Number 44 kept his head down, smiled softly and submissively, and spoke in a gentle tone.

But Russell could sense that the other party's heart did not rise or fall without any fluctuations, and was as calm as an icy lake: "Tartarus has a special technique that can treat cyberpsychosis. Only a high enough degree of prosthetic transformation can we ensure that we will not make mistakes in serving our most honored guests.

"Our body's aging process can be halted by the 'Holy Blood Treatment' from the Holy Blood Island, and the maintenance and renewal of prosthetics can ensure that we will not experience external aging until the age of 60. After the prosthetic conversion rate exceeded 60%, permanent contraceptive treatment was also completed; At the same time, even if the limbs and internal organs are mutilated, they can work normally and persist until the maintenance is completed. ”

On the other hand, it can also be said that once they leave Tartarus and lose Tartarus' unique "maintenance technology", it is inevitable that they will go crazy due to cyber psychosis.

Russell made up for what No. 44 had left unfinished.

"In order to prevent injuries caused by falling from a height, we also have a strong magnetic attraction inside our body. Even if you fall from a height while losing your limbs, you can safely return to the interior of the level. If it is hijacked by the enemy, it can detonate its own joints to achieve a counterattack in a specific direction and distance. At the same time, we can also host our limbs to artificial intelligence from Sogo Island to meet the enemy on our own.

"At the same time, you don't need to worry about us doing anything against you. As a high-level customer, you can get advanced administrative access to me personally by simply installing 'Tartarus Service'. Just like controlling a home cleaning robot, you can directly manipulate me through background commands to perform any action, including losing certain memories and installing certain simulated personalities. ”

After listening to No. 44's words, Russell only felt a chill down his spine.

It's not a machine, it's not a synth.

"No. 44", who exists as a human being, but has forgotten even her name, has a sincere and friendly smile, and her eyebrows are curved like a crescent moon, and she looks like a sister next door with a reserved smile......

But Russell could only sense a huge void from the bottom of her heart.

It's like a lake that has been drained. From a distance, it is an abyss, and when you get closer, you can see only mud.

…… Even Bubble-30, her mind is more human-like than No. 44.

No. 44 brought the silent Russell to the door of room No. 4401, and bowed to Russell respectfully: "You can call me for anything, I am always there."

"Rooms 4401 to 4408 have been unlocked, and you can choose different room styles yourself. I am waiting for your call in room 4409. All rooms from 4410 onwards have different recreational facilities. If you need any introductions and accompaniment, I'll be with you. ”

"It's okay for now."

Russell nodded politely at No. 44, and for a moment felt that his heart was weighed down by a heavy stone: "Thank you." ”

"It's my pleasure to serve you."

Number 44 bowed to Russell and apologized: "It's me who said a little too much, and it affected your mood." Again, I'm so sorry.

"Tartarus wishes you a pleasant and relaxing evening."

Russell looked at No. 44, and she didn't leave directly. Instead, he stood by the door with a deep bow.

…… It seems that if she doesn't go in, she won't leave.

Russell sighed silently and opened the door.

Although it is nominally a hotel, even if it is only a room in 4401...... It also looks like the palace of an ancient emperor.

When Russell entered, he didn't see where Ringo was, because after entering through the gate, there was first a hall with a crystal fountain.

It is a fountain pool carved from crystal that scales from top to bottom from white, purple, pink to red, and acts as a large humidifier. At the top of the fountain is a sculpture of a nymph holding a water bottle, carved from a large piece of white jade, from which clear water is pouring out.

The water that erupts from the fountain falls into the pool of red crystals, making it look like a pool of blood.

After Russell entered, he keenly felt that his mood immediately became calmer...... This is supposed to be some kind of crystal-based psionic technology.

After passing the fountain, you can see many decorative vines and wooden furniture in the deep purple hall. The carefully blended fragrance and the right oxygen concentration make Russell feel the breath of "nature".

The beauty of nature is perfectly restored by industrial means, and the mosquitoes, dust and dirt that are not needed are removed – for example, the ground under your feet will never stick to your shoes even if it smells like wet dirt when you step on it. Even if you touch it with your feet, it will never get dirty, and even if you roll on it, you won't get your clothes dirty. But its touch and taste are very close to the soil of the rainforest...... It is a memory of nature that no longer exists in the Sky Island era, the earthly era.

The only thing that doesn't fit the theme of the room is the pink crystal ornaments that sparkle in the light. They make this house even more dreamy, like pink stars. Russell also realized why Ringo chose this one...... Probably her girlish heart.

…… Of course, if Russell guesses correctly, those pink crystal ornaments that don't match the "nature theme" should be good cameras with microphone functions that have been disguised.

Just like Russell before, when he was far away from the Tartarus Hotel, he spoke to the "knights", but No. 44, who came out of the hotel later, was able to answer for him immediately without Russell repeating it. This shows that she has already heard what Russell said.

If nothing else, every "knight" on patrol should be filled with surveillance and listening equipment, and even every corner of every room...... That's why No. 44 will tell Russell that she doesn't need to call or go to the front desk, just ask for the air anytime and anywhere, and she can hear it immediately.

They don't hide the fact that all corners of Tartarus are being monitored, and they don't care about personal privacy at all.

But it makes sense.

After all, the worry called "worrying about the leakage of personal privacy" is actually worrying that "the leakage of personal privacy will bring all kinds of trouble to yourself".

Being able to live in a high-rise hotel in Tartarus should be more than just money – with the level of overwhelming power that no one else is allowed to do, then this invasion of privacy is essentially no different from that of a personal eunuch. Because they have no means or ability to betray Tartarus and make enemies of their guests.

They can even manipulate their memories and personalities at will by the guests.

Since such a technology exists...... In other words, theoretically, everyone on the island can be treated like this.

No doubt.

The people who live here are the "monarchs" who can rule everything on this empty island.
