Chapter 254: The Shadow Guards
"For a long time, generations of cyber maniacs have chosen the path of the Dark Templar......"
As a commander, Song Lan couldn't help but be thrilled when she heard the homeless man say "Samuon, serve you", and the thermal cutting blade shining on the latter's arm completed the process of starting from scratch for the law enforcement department of the 17th District, which had limited manpower, technology, and financial resources.
It was a historic moment, because until the moment the parasite burrowed into Samuen's body, he was not sure if his utopian theory would succeed.
After all, this time, it wasn't the human consciousness that the Devourer needed to talk to, but a mechanical creature without thoughts and feelings.
"The fusion of prosthetics and genes."
Maydell clenched her hands, and though she didn't understand what the Dark Sanctuary Path meant, as a researcher, she realized that just now, humanity's research on cybermaniacs had taken a big step forward—that after the devourers' consciousnesses merged, they had done what a major corporation had coveted in the true sense of the word.
Let the cyber maniac be transformed into a soldier who is absolutely loyal to the company.
It's just that those big companies never imagined that the answer they dreamed of had always been hidden on a completely different path.
At this moment, she had a deep understanding of Song Lan's theory.
And as a researcher, she may have discovered this a long time ago - the existence of the devourer itself is a process of continuous devouring and merging with the surrounding environment, and theoretically speaking, no matter how much matter it swallows and what changes it makes, it will not fall into madness.
"As of today, you're the first member of the Shadowguard."
Song Lan patted Samuen on the shoulder and spoke.
Although he was still a very important member of the high-level rescuer in a short period of time, it opened up a new path for him, and the members of the Shadowguard still had room to continue to improve.
Seventeen districts are always in need of more advanced troops.
While they don't produce cybermaniacs, they can be porters of cybermaniacs.
Why are they the only ones working for the big companies?
Now, it's the turn of the big companies to give back.
…………………………………………
At the same time, the Gold Digger Bar.
"Director Lu, what a rare guest."
Aofei received Lu Xiang with a smile, but in fact, her mood was far from being as relaxed as she appeared, because every time the other party came to the door, there were some thorny problems.
With the defeat of the Foster family and the collapse of various large criminal syndicates, the situation in District 17 has changed, and no one can appreciate this change more intuitively than the intelligence traffickers.
After sweeping away all the opponents, the law enforcers are the only ones in the city, and even the big companies are usually reluctant to provoke these law enforcers.
Big companies bow to local enforcers?
This would have been unimaginable in other cities, but it is gradually becoming a reality in the 17th arrondissement.
However, this is not a good thing for the intelligence traffickers, the more chaotic the place, the more space for them to live, since the criminal syndicate led by the "rats" went to the collapse, the business of the gold digger bar has become more and more miserable.
"Rador, he should be your intermediary here, help me get in touch with him."
Lu Xiang skipped the greeting step and directly explained his intention.
There is not much time left for her, and she must find Rador before the company goes to an end.
"Rador, I've heard of him, but he's not a regular visitor to our place."
After thinking about it, Ofiro said, "The commissions he gives are quite special, usually large orders related to the company's commissions, and these orders do pay a lot of money, but the premise is that the person who takes the commission cannot be curious." ”
Companies can hire you to help them today, and they can hire killers to sink you to the bottom of a lake tomorrow.
It's a pity that there are many people who think they are smart and can't understand the pros and cons, and they evaporated from the world not long after taking the order, and Ladol is also such an elusive middleman, and several times she thought that Ladol was killed by the company.
"The last time he came to the Gold Digger's Bar was a few weeks ago, and it wasn't as ...... Complex. ”
Ofie was of course referring to Aureliano's inauguration as mayor, which broke with the tradition of the 17th arrondissement, and allowed an opponent to sit in the mayor's seat under the noses of large corporations.
I wonder what the expressions of the company executives who looked at Aureliano as a clown and a fool a few years ago will now be.
After the new mayor took office, it was not surprising that he imposed sanctions on the company to varying degrees, taking back the border trade lines and raising the company's taxes, clearly to snatch back the cake in the hands of the big company.
Originally, even if this kind of person could become mayor, he would probably die in an accident within a few days, but Aureliano has jumped alive to this day, which makes Aofe a little unable to understand the city.
"The company has been so busy with recent work that they don't have time to give Radol a job, or they feel that Ladol knows too much and has already done him."
"I needed a way to reach him."
Lu Xiang accentuated his tone, "This matter is very urgent. ”
"I see."
Although Aofoe still wanted to say more, now that Lu Xiang had already expressed her attitude, she had to take out a chip, "This is his personal information in the past, as for whether he is still there now, I can't guarantee it." ”
"Thanks, Aoife, I'll contact you later."
Lu Xiang took the chip and didn't stop at the Gold Digger Bar for long, so he went straight to the hovercar parked at the door.
Seeing her anxious look, Aoye guessed some of the inside story.
Cyber Maniac Attack.
Some time ago, the remnants of the "hyena" often haunted the bar, asking around for information related to cyber maniacs, and now it seems that cyber maniacs are just a front, and the fundamental problem of this matter lies with the company, and Ladol probably can't escape from it.
……
Within five minutes, the hovercar had landed at the location recorded in the chip.
It's an ordinary apartment in the southern part of the 17th arrondissement, and the apartment looks a little dilapidated from the outside, and it's hard to imagine that a middleman who works for a company usually lives in this kind of place.
Lu Xiang went straight to the floor where Ladol lived, but the empty apartment confirmed the ominous premonition in her heart.
The apartment was messy and there were signs of rummaging through.
It seems that the owner of the apartment left in a hurry, and the coffee on the table was halfway drunk, and the surface was already covered with a layer of dust, which meant that Lador had been gone for at least a few days.
She scrutinized every room, even the hidden corners of drawers, cabinets, and under the bed.
Luckily, she didn't find Rador's body in a corner, or the plastic bag containing a part of his body.
At the very least, there is a chance that Radol is still alive.
