Chapter 184: Synths?
"Who are you? Wanderers who came in to hide from the rain? I'm sorry, but our detective agency is closed, so please get out."
Hearing the movement behind her, Ellie turned around, looked at Tang Ming who pushed the door and walked in, and said with a frown.
"Ellie, it's me."
At this time, Piper drilled out from behind Tang Ming:
"They're here for Nick."
After Piper finished speaking, he then introduced Ellie, who was neatly dressed in front of him, to Tang Ming and the others:
"This is Ellie, Nick's assistant."
"Coming to Nick?"
A flash of surprise flashed across Ellie's face, and then she shook her head:
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're going to have to run for nothing this time."
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Maybe we can help."
Nora asked.
finally saw the hope of finding the child, how could she give up so easily.
"This..."
Ellie hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Actually, Nick disappeared the other day."
"What!?"
Piper was stunned, as if he hadn't expected this to happen.
"That's exactly what happened..."
Tang Ming muttered in a low voice, he was not too familiar with the routine of this game.
The task is a big ring and a small ring, interlocking.
Even if Nick doesn't go missing, I'm afraid he will only agree to help them if he is assigned a task.
But although he thought so in his heart, he still spoke:
"What's going on? I heard that he was also investigating the Academy, could it be that someone from the Academy did it?"
"Not really."
Ellie shook her head, then briefly recounted what had happened.
It turned out that the firm received a task a few days ago.
The daughter of a wealthy businessman suddenly disappears, and Nick is entrusted with finding and bringing his daughter back.
However, it turns out that Nick, who has found some clues, is gone.
"Gourd baby save grandpa, this is..."
Tang Ming complained, and then asked:
"Do you know where Nick ended up going?"
"The clues Nick has found point to a man named Skinny Marlon."
"He's from Fanglin Town, where people only care about how many people they kill and how well they are dressed, it's dangerous."
"When you get to us, you take an abandoned shelter on the other side of Park Station and make it your base."
"Nick just went to this base to investigate, and then there was no news."
Ellie told her all she knew.
The words reveal concern for Nick.
"If something really happens to Nick, the detective agency probably won't be able to keep it open."
"Don't worry, we'll help you find him."
Seeing this, Piper immediately stepped forward and reassured.
Ellie smiled reluctantly and thanked Piper, then looked at Piper's beside her, a somewhat unfamiliar Tang Ming.
She knew that the person who really had the ability to rescue Nick was the only one on the scene who had the ability to do so.
Piper's words were nothing more than comfort to her.
Can't be centered.
"Leave this matter to us, we have some things to entrust to Nick."
Nora said.
It was also when she heard Nora's words that Ellie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you."
After understanding the situation in more detail, the three also quit the detective agency.
"I'll take you there tomorrow."
Seeing that it was getting late, Piper spoke:
"Rest well tonight."
There was some excitement in her tone, as if she thought there would be big news about the trip.
Tang Ming opened his mouth and thought
He said that he didn't have to rest, after all, his physical condition was in sync with reality, which meant that there was no problem in staying in the game for a week without sleep.
But just as the words were about to speak, he saw Nora beside him with a deep exhaustion on his face.
He immediately nodded and agreed.
Nora is different from him.
This game world is different from the one he entered before.
has a complete world view setting, and the character tasks in it are at a glance with the zombie preparation project he entered before, and he has his own independent thinking.
From any point of view, there is no doubt about the living.
Nora wanted to say no to Piper's proposal and go straight to the park station with Tang Ming.
However, seeing Tang Ming nodding, he had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his mouth.
"Then you go find a place to rest, and come down to my office tomorrow morning to find me."
After Piper said this, he didn't stop and walked back the way he came.
Only the two people who looked at each other in place were left.
After a moment of silence, Nora spoke:
"Hotels in this city need money to stay in."
They didn't have the kind of bottle cap that could be used as currency, in other words, they were asking Tang Ming where they would rest next.
"Find an open space."
Hearing Nora's words, Tang Ming said after looking around.
Even if he had money, he didn't plan to stay in any kind of hotel.
Given the hygiene of the place, it's hard to imagine what a hotel would look like.
Nora didn't understand why Tang Ming was looking for a vacant land.
But after hearing his words, I still fell into thought, recalling the various areas I saw in the city during the day today:
"I remember there seemed to be a clearing on the other side of the reservoir."
The reservoir in Nora's mouth is a small pool of water that stores the domestic water of the entire Diamond City.
But it is said to be domestic water, but in fact, this water source is still full of a lot of radiation.
With Nora leading the way, the two of them soon came to the pool.
Tang Ming took a look, and sure enough, he saw a small open space not far away.
Seeing this, he immediately took Nora over.
As his mind moved, a kind of card appeared in his hand.
[House]
It is the [house] card that is a must-have for making a baby in the stacking world.
This is what he asked the villagers to make before, and now it's time to see what effect the building-type card will have if it is used in reality.
With Tang Ming's thoughts, the card in his hand disappeared instantly.
And at the same time.
In front of them, there was already a small house that looked very cozy.
Nora's eyes widened, and her face was stunned.
She knew that this must be Tang Ming's so-called.
But it was precisely because he knew that Tang Ming did it that he was even more shocked.
What is the difference between this and the gods when they raise their hands and build a brand new house directly from the ground?
Although he had already felt all kinds of incongruities in Tang Ming's body before, he really didn't expect such an exaggeration.
"Is this really my husband?"
Nora looked at Tang Ming, if it weren't for the bits and pieces of Tang Ming in her mind that could be easily recalled, she would really have doubts about it.
"I didn't expect it to be good."
Tang Ming didn't pay attention to Nora's reaction.
He was also a little surprised to see the hut in front of him.
After all, the house on the card is really a little shivering.
To say that it is a stick figure is to elevate it.
"Let's go inside."
After looking around and seeing that there was nothing wrong with the house in front of him, Tang Ming said to Nora.
Then he walked straight into it.
Except for the houses in front of you.
He still wants to try, yes
The double bed made before is not really so soft.
A good night's sleep.
Nora's complexion was noticeably better than yesterday's.
It is the sleeping effect that comes with the deluxe double bed that plays a role.
However, looking at Tang Ming, his gaze towards the double bed was slightly unkind.
The bed was so good at sleeping that he hadn't done anything important last night, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already the next day.
In this regard, he only felt that he was wrong.
Originally, he wanted to stay up late and play games.
"It's a pity."
"Let's go, Piper waited too long."
Nora saw that Tang Ming was staring at the double bed for a long time and did not move, so she opened her mouth to urge.
When Tang Ming heard this, he had no choice but to withdraw his gaze, and then waved his hand to put the bed in front of him into the system space along with the house.
Not to mention, this kind of mobile home is quite convenient.
"Looks like you had a good night's rest last night."
When Piper saw Tang Ming and the two coming over, he immediately greeted:
"By the way, did you eat breakfast?"
"If not, I've got some on my side."
"We've already eaten."
Nora thanked Piper for his kindness.
Tang Ming has a lot of various foods in the system space, so it is naturally impossible for her to be hungry.
"That's right."
Seeing this, Piper didn't say anything more, and after nodding, his tone became serious and got down to business:
"Park Station is about an hour away from Diamond City."
"There's a dangerous zone to go through."
"Tell us where you are, and if you come with us, your sister will be worried."
At this time, Tang Ming, who had not spoken, said.
He looked at Cortana in the newspaper office who was sneaking over there.
While taking care of this little girl's mood, she also doesn't want to bring a burden to slow down her trip.
Piper followed Tang Ming's line of sight, and soon saw Cortana secretly looking at him and the others.
Immediately, the excitement on his face was stagnant.
Then, as if after some psychological struggle, he finally sighed, and said with a kind of interest:
"Okay.."
A moment later.
Tang Ming and Nora, who had obtained the map, set off again.
Head to Park Station, not far from Diamond City.
Along the way, as Piper said, he encountered a lot of radiation creatures.
So much so that after Tang Ming's level was upgraded by two levels, he arrived at his destination with some unfinished thoughts.
"Look at the map, this should be it."
Tang Ming looked at the map given by Piper, compared the situation in front of him, and said to Nora beside him.
In front of them was a deep downward passage.
The shelter in front of them was structurally different from their previous 111 vault.
However, it is also necessary for the Pip-Boy to be connected to the Vault's system before the door that looks like a bank safe can be opened.
"So, that skinny Malone has at least one Pip-Boy in his hand?"
Tang Ming touched his chin, this was also an extremely possessed resource for him.
After all, he has so many employees under him, and he is still waiting to be fed.
Thinking like this in his heart, Tang Ming quickly opened the door in front of him.
Revealing the inside of the vault.
Sure enough, it's very different from Vault 111.
Say it's a refuge, but it's more like an underground parking lot full of pipes.
The terrain is extremely complex and divided into several layers.
It's not like Vault 111, it's just a road through.
[Bodyguard]
Not long after entering the vault, a red name appeared in front of him.
And after seeing the bodyguard's dress, Tang Ming was also stunned for a moment.
"Sure enough, the person wearing it looks like a dog."
If you just look at the clothes of the bodyguards in front of you, you really have the illusion that the current era is an era of peace.
It's really the same as Ellie said, people here pay attention to dressing.
It's just a red name, and Tang Ming won't be polite.
With a direct swing of the sword, the bodyguard who didn't even know anything turned into a blood mist.
Let it die painlessly.
As a great benevolent person, Tang Ming naturally would not torture the enemy, and would give them a good time.
"It's a pity that the experience is a little less, only six points are added."
"What did you say?"
Nora didn't hear Tang Ming's words clearly.
"Nothing."
Tang Ming shook his head.
Seeing this, Nora did not continue to ask, but said:
"Let's catch someone and ask about the situation here."
They don't know how much time they're wasting just by looking around.
"Yes."
Tang Ming nodded and did not refuse.
If these bodyguards have more experience, he doesn't mind having a one-pot service, but if one person only has six points of experience, then forget it.
It's really not as much experience as he got by going out and killing rats.
"At the bottom, our boss locked that guy in an office and didn't do anything to him."
I saw the bodyguard who was caught by Tang Ming, with a loveless look.
He originally had a very hard mouth, but after gaining weight under Tang Ming's iron fist, he could only betray the boss, just begging Tang Ming to give him a good time.
"At the bottom?"
Get location information.
Tang Ming took out the ladder, and then under Nora's somewhat numb eyes, he directly opened a downward passage on the ground.
In just a few minutes, they were at the bottom of the vault.
"Is that it?"
Tang Ming pointed to a door and asked the bodyguard he was holding in his hand.
At this time, the bodyguard looked stupid, and kept saying that he must be dreaming.
Seeing this, Tang Ming was not used to the other party, and the two *** went down to let him sober up.
"Yes. It's here."
After getting what he wanted, Tang Ming also sent the other party to Elysium.
It is impossible to release the animals, after all, there is no reason to let go of the red names sent to the door.
Solving the bodyguard in his hand, Tang Ming didn't look at Nora, who looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, but walked straight to the door of the room and began to study it.
A code is required to open the gate.
However, since it is a mechanical creation, it is naturally difficult for him Tang Ming.
It only took two breaths to open the door in front of him.
However, after opening the door and seeing the situation inside, Tang Ming and Nora were stunned with expressions on their faces.
"You're a synth?"
Looking at Nick in the room dressed in a denim outfit, Tang Ming's brows furrowed.
The other party's twin children exuded a golden shimmer, and most of the skin on the left neck disappeared, even if a similar model was made in the post-production to cover it, it was still impossible to hide the mechanical structure revealed between the gaps.
As for why the other party is sure to be Nick, it is because the other party's bright green name is on the top of his head.
Tang Ming didn't think at all that the detective in Piper's mouth would be a synthetic person.
After all, according to Piper, synths are all lackeys of the Academy.
