In the space at the end of the tunnel, there is only a 15-watt incandescent lamp, which provides extremely faint light.

In front of an operating table made of wooden planks, Jonny is dissecting corpses with a scalpel, extracting mechanical organs from their bodies, then performing simple stitches and stacking the bodies aside.

The stitches of these corpses did not need to be very delicate, and a layer of blood had gathered on the ground, and the mutilated corpses were daunting.

Wu Mian stood behind Jonny, took advantage of him to remove a mechanical arm, and asked, "Where is the body of that killer?" ”

"Dang!"

Jonny took a step back, slammed his body against the wall, and covered his heart with his hand: "Holy!" Why don't you make a sound when you walk? Scared the hell out of me! ”

Wu Mian looked at Jonny's movements, a little speechless: "You are an iron bump, what is there to be afraid of." ”

"This is the cognitive bias of human beings, although my body is mechanical, my mind is still a human being! I'm scared of dealing with corpses here, you know? ”

Jonny tapped his head with his hand: "Everyone thinks that I should be very strong in this way, and even the work of dissecting corpses has been entrusted to me, but I am still a human being, and I am a person of little courage." ”

Wu Mian lit a cigarette to dispel the fishy smell in the air: "You have been an all-synthetic for so long, I wonder if you are more afraid to see the corpse of a human or more afraid to see the body of a robot?" ”

"Of course it's a human corpse, but seeing a fully synthetic corpse can also cause fear."

Jonny spread his hands and made a shrug gesture: "I don't know if you've ever heard of the uncanny valley effect, because robots and humans are similar in appearance and movement, so humans will also have positive feelings for robots. The higher the degree of simulation of a humanoid toy or robot, the more favorable people will be, but before the similarity is close to 100%, this favorability will suddenly decrease, and the more human-like they are, the more disgusted and feared they will be, and the favorability will also fall to the bottom. ”

"Something that is human, but not human, always feels a potential threat. According to the theory of evolutionary psychology, after millions of years of natural selection, the existing human beings, who have not been eliminated by nature, have a logical bias in the brain, providing a high degree of ability to sense and reject those human deformities that reflect hereditary diseases or lack of health, and the overall appearance of human deformities is micro or macro. ”

Wu Mian responded: "It is said that those anomalous humanoid entities will be subject to potential shocks in the human gene pool, and will also awaken the warnings of observers. This is also the reason why when intelligent robots are popular, those large companies still avoid designing some robots with human shapes. ”

"Maybe that's why natural people have a fear of synths." Jonny nodded: "Synthetics will first make the natural person's vision fearful, causing the natural person to have negative emotions, and it also represents their concern about the insecurity caused by the imperfection of technology. As for why I'm afraid of the corpse of the all-synthetic human, I think it should be said in another way, that is, the fear of death of human beings themselves, I am not afraid of the corpse of the all-synthetic human, but I am afraid that I will become like that. ”

Wu Mian didn't have an in-depth communication with the all-synthetics, so he asked, "Seriously, after becoming a full-combiner, do you feel any difference?" ”

"Of course there will be differences, first of all, the enhancement of the body, so that I am not troubled by disease, and my body is too low-level, except for the feeling of neurons in my hands, there is no sense in other places, not even pain, and I have lost the right to be useful to natural talents, such as sex, to tell you the truth, I am still a virgin."

Jonny didn't feel sorry for this: "But sex is just an instinct in the human gene chain that needs to reproduce, and since I became a fully synthetic human, I have never had this idea, maybe it has something to do with me being a virgin!" As for the benefits, of course, it is a long lifespan! Speaking of lifespan, I suddenly had a question, why do you say that long-lived human beings are all elderly? ”

"This ......"

When Wu Mian heard this question from Jonny, he immediately understood that his brain had been short-circuited again, so he stopped communicating with him, picked up a brand-new scalpel and saw on the table, went to the pile of corpses inside, and rummaged through Xu Lin's body.

In the previous struggle, the skin of Xu Lin's knees had cracked, revealing the stainless steel metal skeleton inside, reflecting the dim light.

Wu Mian looked at Xu Lin's smooth metal skeleton and then at his arm.

Even if Xu Lin's metal bones are not high-end, the hardness is by no means comparable to human bones.

Wu Mian glanced at his palm that was able to shoot silk threads during the day, and then at his arm that was unscathed while blocking Xu Lin's attack, and after hesitating for a moment, he slashed the scalpel towards his arm.

Blood flowed, and a deep wound appeared on his arm, visible to the bone.

Wu Mian felt the pain of the wound jumping, and looked at the human skeleton below, his eyes full of puzzlement and surprise.

Since his skin couldn't even block a scalpel, it was certain that it was a carbon-based body, so why was he able to encounter Xu Lin's attacks without any damage or contusions?

This unknown feeling made Wu Mian feel very uncomfortable, and dragged Xu Lin's body aside and began to dissect it.

The legs have been replaced, industrial-grade mechanical legs are used, and silicon-based neurons are connected to allow the body to control the legs, and a civilian-grade secondary functional module is installed with the ability to eject.

Continue with the dissection.

Just as Wu Mian sawed Xu Lin's head, Nan Ci's voice came out behind him: "Did you find anything?" ”

"Carbon-based organs, natural brains, no traces of transformation except for the legs, identified as semi-synthetic humans." Wu Mian flipped Xu Lin's brain with his fingers, but found nothing else, turned to look at Nan Ci: "Where do you think they came from?" ”

"In the short term, except for investigating the disappearance of synths, we haven't had much contact with external forces, and the only criminal organizations we have dealt with are the Hidden Dragon and the Wolf King Society, and I think these killers must have something to do with one of the forces."

Nan Ci looked at the corpses on the ground and added, "However, according to our dealings with the Hidden Dragon Organization, the weapons and equipment used by the members of this organization are all advanced, and almost all of them are equipped with energy shields. And the weapons used by these killers today are completely inconsistent with the weapons used by the Hidden Dragon Organization, and it seems that they have little to do with the Hidden Dragon Organization. ”

"I'm afraid not." Wu Mian took off Xu Lin's shoes and handed them to Nan Ci: "Look at this." ”

Nan Ci brought the shoe close to the incandescent lamp, and saw the silver crumbs mixed in the gap between the soles, and frowned: "Why does this guy have so much tin foil on the soles?" ”

"The situation we are encountering seems to be getting more and more complicated."

Wu Mian continued to rummage through Xu Lin's body, took out something similar to a USB flash drive and looked at it, and suddenly felt a headache, he felt that he seemed to have a deep impression of this thing, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

"Jade?!"

Nan Ci saw the object in Wu Mian's hand, and his eyebrows were already twisted into a pimple: "Why does this guy carry this kind of thing on his body?!" ”
