Chapter 63: Androids Teach Humans the Sinister of Human Nature?
After escaping from Todd's house with Alice.
Take the bus all the way to the city.
Get off at the last stop.
At this time, the rain continued heavily, and the temperature in Detroit, which was gradually entering winter, had begun to plummet.
Alice was shivering from the cold beside Xu Mu.
For normal players.
The immediate task now is naturally to find a place for Alice and herself to rest for a while.
to ensure that the progress of the plot can continue.
It's just that the android who has just finished killing humans has been recorded by the Detroit Police Department and is about to be wanted.
The two were penniless.
The range of resting space will be much narrower.
Either choose to spend the night in an abandoned car.
Or find an abandoned house.
In short, how to hide and how to come, can't be too public.
In fact, quite a few tournament players do just that.
Lead Alice into various hiding.
What's more, because of the careless operation, after attracting the attention of the street patrol police, he was forced to take Alice and hide in the city's sewage pipe.
The weather was already cold and damp, and there was everything dirty in the sewer pipes, and it emitted an unbearable stench.
Alice's favorability has also dropped again and again.
It also makes the player extremely worried in his heart, for fear that Alice will break away from Kara in the next moment and find a home by herself.
But Xu Mu is different.
After getting off the bus, Xu Mu first took Alice to a 24-hour laundry room.
The two fled all the way, and now the clothes on their bodies have long been soaked by the rain, although Xu Mu knows that Alice is also an android, and she is not afraid of getting sick.
It's just that excessive water infiltration can easily cause a short circuit in the body.
The laundry room is equipped with an intelligent unmanned system, and there is no clerk.
But there was a boy leaning back in a chair with headphones in his ears, looking down as if he had fallen into a baby's sleep.
"Alice, you wait here for me for a while." Xu Mudao.
"Sister Kara, what are you going to do...... I was a little scared. Alice looked at Xu Mu weakly and helplessly.
"It's cold now, and we have to get some clothes, some money, food, and a warm place to live. I want to try my luck. Xu Mu smiled and rubbed her head lightly.
"But...... Will there really be any such thing? Everyone's attitude towards androids is not very friendly......"
"Yes, there will always be well-wishers in this world." Xu Mu chuckled, calmed Alice's emotions, and went straight to a 24-hour convenience store on the corner.
After entering the store, Xu Mu still adhered to the principle of saluting first and then soldiering.
First, he described his general situation to the human clerk, concealed the fact that he was being hunted down, and only said that he needed help now.
When the clerk heard this, he immediately sneered: "What did I hear?" Homeless androids are asking me for help? ”
"Listen, miss, this is just a convenience store, not your Redeemer's logistics warehouse, if you don't buy anything, leave quickly, don't make me angry, understand?"
Hearing this, Xu Mu took out a pistol from under his skirt and gently placed it on the counter table.
Arms Show!
"I need some help." Xu Mu repeated.
The clerk's sneer suddenly froze on his face, and he reflexively raised his hand to give Xu Mu a French military salute, and stumbled again.
"Homeless androids, that's so pathetic...... Who would refuse to lend a helping hand to such a poor man......"
As he spoke, he hurriedly opened the cash register and forced out a smile.
"This young lady, look at it......"
"I want them all." Xu Mu swept the change cabinet at a glance, and there were about a few hundred knives scattered around, which was enough for the time being.
……
After a while, Xu Mu walked out of the convenience store.
Behind him, there was also a painful laugh from the clerk's brother: "Welcome next time...... Uh, please walk slowly. ”
Xu Mu took the money and left quickly, and before leaving, he took an extra teddy bear.
Not sure why.
Doing this kind of thing in such a country is inexplicably somewhat reassuring.
Belong to the local customs.
When she returned to Alice, she was already dozing tiredly.
Xu Mu took the opportunity to secretly take away the coat of the boy who was asleep listening to the song next to him, and changed Alice into a clean set of children's winter clothes from the laundry cabinet.
Immediately, wake up Alice.
"Wow! Sister Carla! How can there be so many clean clothes? And teddy bears? As soon as Alice exclaimed, Xu Mu gently booed her.
"These are all gifts from well-wishers, so put them on. We left here and found a warm and comfortable hotel to stay in. ”
"Where does the money come from?" Alice's eyes widened.
"It's also sponsored by a kind big brother." Xu Mu chuckled.
Alice was moved to tears.
"Woo woo, Sister Kara, there are really many kind-hearted people in this world."
[Alice's favorability for you has increased greatly!] ↑】
[Alice has treated you as family!] 】
Soon, Xu Mu took Alice's hand and left the laundry, looking for a hotel nearby that looked more upscale.
It stands to reason that he has already left a case in the police station, so he can't be so ostentatious.
However, Xu Mu, who is familiar with the plot, knows very well what will happen next.
According to the development of the plot, Connor will take over the investigation of the case of the android devourer.
I investigate myself!
When it comes time to enter the Connor Line, just choose to quietly erase Kara's case from the police system.
Choose to spend the night with Alice in a soft and comfortable bed, and sleep soundly.
And at the same time.
Countless players are still holding Alice hard, drenched in the icy rain, looking for a place to stay on the street.
……
Following.
After a night without words, after getting up early, Xu Mu led Alice on the journey again.
This time, we will arrive at a nondescript abandoned mansion on the outskirts of the city.
In the original story, this will be another turning point in Kara's escape.
On rainy nights, Kara encounters a 'kind' android who suggests that she has an address that might help her escape.
And this address is the current abandoned mansion.
The mansion is inhabited by a human named Zizlako, who is said to be able to help mutated androids escape from the police station.
Of course, if you believe his nonsense, then wait to be transformed.
This guy is an out-and-out psychopathic scientist.
Apply all kinds of unethical experimental theories to androids.
The androids transformed by his hands are not similar to the zombies of Resident Evil, at least they are considered to be close relatives.
Originally, Xu Mu, who had achieved financial freedom, could directly skip Zlako's plot line.
With Alice, taking advantage of the fact that the war between androids and humans had not yet broken out, he bought a ticket overnight and fled to neighboring Canada.
There, since there is no relevant bill restricting androids.
Androids can live as freely as humans.
The ultimate goal of the Cara Line is to take Alice to Canada!
As long as you can get to that place!
The whole Kara line is considered complete.
However, after thinking twice in his heart, Xu Mu still planned to quickly go through the plot of Zlako.
On the one hand, Xu Mu had his own calculations in his heart.
On the other hand, he didn't know if he needed to take Luthor with him to Canada in order to be considered a perfect clearance of the Kara Line.
In fact, in the game, there are also disagreements about the final ending of the Kara Line.
He took Alice to the other side of Canada by boat, but was indiscriminately fired by the police's yacht machine gun on the way, Alice was killed, and Carla arrived in Canada.
There is also Carla Luther who smuggled Alice with her, and encountered the police's patrol yacht on the way, but Luthor died from the gun, and finally Carla and Alice successfully reached the other side.
Three others managed to reach the route on the other side.
The official production of the game did not give an explanation, marking which is the perfect ending.
Everything is understood by the players themselves.
It doesn't matter if the player thinks they're all dead, as long as Kara makes it to the other side alive, it's a happy ending.
But it's different in the copy, and if you choose the wrong one, you'll lose the evaluation score.
To be on the safe side, Xu Mu still planned not to jump the line of Zlako, and chose to take Luthor with him.
led Alice up and knocked on the door of the abandoned mansion.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a beard opened the door a crack and looked at Xu Mu and Alice vigilantly.
"Who are you?"
"I'm here to ask for help, and I heard you can help us escape from the police." Xu Mu pretended to be flustered.
After looking up and down, it seemed that the danger of the two people in front of him was ruled out, and Zlako's eyes showed a bit of greed, and his heart was secretly happy.
It's nice to have two more targets that can be experimented with in humans.
Even if the transformation fails, dismantling the parts on their bodies can sell them for a good price.
Thinking of this, Zlako smiled a little and opened the door wide.
"Come in."
The exterior of the mansion looks in disrepair and is no longer occupied.
But the interior is clean and tidy, and the roaring fireplace in the living room keeps the whole house warm.
"A lot of mutant androids have come to me for help, and they're all poor people." Zlako tried his best to make himself look kinder, and he invited Xu Mu and the two to sit down.
Then pick out some nice things to say.
"I can understand the androids' quest for freedom and equality."
"Androids are a different form of life, look what those rough humans have done to you."
"Come to me and rest assured, on the other side of the ocean, in Canada, there is no law against androids, and if I send you there, you will live a life like a human being, work, rest, socialize, go on outings, fall in love, start a family. What a life! ”
"That's great! I don't even know how to thank you, Mr. Zlako. Xu Mu seemed to be extremely 'happy' and smiled, and his face showed his yearning and longing for a new life.
"No thanks, I respect every android who fights for freedom." Zlako watched Xu Mu's every move in his eyes, and sneered in his heart.
Androids are easy to deceive.
With this IQ, what if the mutation awakens the human mind?
In terms of simplicity, I am afraid that it is not much different from that of a human child who is seven or eight years old.
Still delusional to achieve the same status as us humans?
Dream on!
Of course, Zlako's face remained unmoved.
"But before I send you to Canada, I need to take off your tracker."
"Trackers?" Xu Mu was puzzled.
"Yes, in order to control androids, the government requires modeled life to implant a tracker in every android, and you are carrying that gadget, if you don't remove it, you will soon be traced by the police."
"Oh my God...... It's also horrible. Xu Mu shook his head in fear: "Please help me remove the tracker." ”
"It's a gesture." Zlako got up and made an inviting gesture to Xu Mu: "Come with me, the location is in the basement." ”
Immediately, he looked up and ordered a man beside him who was as big as a mountain.
"Luther, you're in charge of the little girl."
Luther, is Zlako's android assistant.
In the original plot, Luthor was moved by Carla's desire to protect Alice's heart, broke the procedural confinement and became a mutant android, choosing to kill Zlako and save Kara and the others.
Of course, if the player chooses the slightest mistake, Luthor will not help, but will turn a blind eye like a dumb log.
When Kara is transformed by Zlako, she will also become a droid assistant like Luther.
"No, Alice has to stay with me, she's too timid to be scared if she doesn't see me." Xu Mu took Alice's little hand.
Once again, the dungeon system hinted that Alice's favorability increased slightly.
"Okay." Zlako nodded.
I was thinking of coming one by one.
However, these two androids are in such a hurry to die, and it is not impossible for the two of them to work together.
Two mutated android sisters, lying on two operating tables, watched each other in despair as they were transformed.
It's a rare pleasure.
Thinking of this, Zlako's heart was faintly excited.
He couldn't wait to hear the cries of despair.
Isn't the fear that erupts from the moment a android first sees the dark side of human nature more interesting than the expression of a human?
Soon, he led Xu Mu and the two to the basement.
It was more like a dirty, dimly lit cell than a basement, with only one passage leading to Zlako's lab.
From time to time, disturbing, strange noises can be heard from the surrounding cells.
"Sorry, the environment is a little bad." Zlako explained: "But as you know, removing the tracker itself is illegal, and to be on the safe side, I had to choose such an inconspicuous place." ”
Seeing that Xu Mu behind him did not have any suspicions, but followed obediently all the way, Zlako laughed sarcastically in his heart.
When leading Xu Mu to the laboratory, Zlako pointed to the operating table on the side.
"Lie down, the process will be a little uncomfortable, but it's just a matter of a moment, and it will be fine soon."
As he spoke, he turned around and sorted out the disassembly tools that he would need on the operating table.
And in his heart, he calculated the value of these two androids.
The heart of industry can be sold for more than $10,000 on the black market.
Fine alloy limbs can also act on limb substitutes for people with disabilities, and the price is around a few thousand dollars.
In addition, the vascular system made by their bodies that mimics human bodies is flowing with blue titanium blood.
This is also a precious metal fuel, and a pint is worth dozens of dollars.
"These two androids are like pigs waiting to be slaughtered, full of treasures. This time I can make a lot of money again. Zlako had just muttered something in his mind.
Suddenly, he felt something hard against the back of his head.
The light refracted from the small mirror on the operating table, Zlako could see clearly.
Xu Mu was holding a gun up to the back of his head.
"See...... Hell......" Zlako's pupils shrank.
Threatened with a gun by an android?
"Miss, I think you may have made a mistake ......" Zlako was about to make an excuse.
I heard Xu Mu say expressionlessly.
"Androids don't have any trackers at all."
Hearing this, Zlako was shocked again!
The tracker is indeed an excuse to make up its own nonsense.
But!
Every android who comes here to pursue freedom believes it!
No android would ever have doubted! Because they are too simple, they don't know what it means to be sinister!
How did this guy know he was lying?
At this time, I heard Xu Mu speak indifferently.
"You're not a kind-hearted uncle next door, you just want to demolish us, sell what you can sell for money, and transform what you can."
"You...... You ......" Zlako's pupils shook, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
What she said was true.
But the question is...... How did she know???
Zlako is sure that he is able to face all androids with ease, and he has never shown half a flaw!
"Luther!! Save me!! Gritting his teeth, Zlako was just about to call for his toolman, Luthor, to help.
saw Luthor slowly standing behind Xu Mu and entering a standby state.
His own orders had no effect on him, and he was now only obedient to that young and beautiful female android!
What's going on??
Zlako only felt like the sky was spinning, and the sky was about to fall!
Actually, back when Zlako was leading the way in front just now.
Xu Mu has already completed the docking with Luther.
Luthor was only one chance away from awakening the mutation.
Xu Mu informed Luthor of the existence of the android organization in the data docking, which is the home that really helps the androids strive for equal status, and was built by the leader of the androids, Marcus.
"I have a good relationship with him, it's like a human being, and after this time I'm going to take you to Jericho, where you can feel real respect." Xu Mu used data transmission to tell Luther.
In fact, he didn't lie, he was Kara, but he was also Marcus.
Luthor chose to believe Xu Mu.
"Help me get him under control." After Xu Mu gave instructions to Luther, he put away his gun and rummaged on the operating table for a while.
Soon, a tube of anesthetic was injected into Zlako's body.
With Luther's help, he was lifted to the operating table.
The anesthetic quickly took effect, and Zlako felt the weakness spreading rapidly in his limbs, and he lay on the operating table unable to move.
But again, the fear that came over him temporarily overcame his sleepiness.
He didn't dare to sleep, but the scene in front of him made him even more devastated.
He watched the young girl rummage through the cabinets in his laboratory, looking for all kinds of surgical instruments.
The familiar gesture of the car is all telling Zlako.
That girl knows this basement even better than herself!
But why......
She's obviously a first-time visitor.
Why do you seem to know everything? It's like having a script in your hand...... And she is just a marionette in her hands......
"You, what are you going to do to me?"
"Let go of me! You inferior android!! ”
"The police won't let you go!! You'll be sent to the recycling bin and crushed into a puddle of mud!! ”
Zlako screamed as hard as he could.
Xu Mu just glanced at him indifferently, and then smiled contemptuously.
"Do what?"
"Do what you want to do to me."
"Transform you into, a android."
"A scientist android who can work for me."
"Don't worry, it's a little painful, but soon you won't remember anything."
The anesthetic needle had invaded Zlako's brain nerves, and he had lost the ability to speak, so he could only stare at it desperately, but he could only find a devilish smile on Xu Mu's face.
He finally experienced the horror of the androids who had been modified by himself before they shut down.
Zlako never dreamed of it.
He was a human being.
But in the body of the android, I saw a heart that was more ruthless than my own human being......
Under Zlako's desperate gaze.
The girl took out the medical gloves and mask from the drawer with a blank face, put them on, and put on the medical eyepieces.
Under the honeycomb light of the operating table, Zlako could not see her eyes clearly, and could only see the cold light reflected by the eyepiece.
His last look before he fell unconscious.
Frozen, the beautiful girl in front of him raised a large sharp chainsaw at him.
Then, there was darkness in front of me.
An emotionless command came from his ear.
"Luther, the makeover begins."
