Chapter 193: Talking about business
"Cyber psychosis? It's an interesting idea to say that the effects of prosthetic implants on the human psyche would be an excellent subject for research! ”
When Lang Ning heard Rorschach's words, he began to take out his notebook and record his sudden inspiration on it.
Rorschach only quietly waited for Lang Ning to finish writing before saying, "Let's go, Dr. Lang Ning." I've got you a new job! ”
Turning the pen in his hand into a hold, Lang Ning pointed it at Rorschach and asked, "Are you from the military?" I'm not going to develop combat robots! ”
"No, I'm from Night City! I also know that you have the idea of looking for death, and since you are going to die, why don't you go and see the new job I have found you? Maybe there's a new inspiration......"
Lang Ning followed Rorschach away with suspicion and curiosity, and watched the two walk out of the bar before Parame answered the phone that had been ringing for a long time.
Rorschach's body in the police station took off the symbiote neuronal processor he wore on the back of his neck and frowned.
Combined with the game over on the computer in front of Rorschach, it looks like Rorschach is worried about the game.
But Rorschach's mind was thinking, originally thinking that VIKI's backhand was the Vortex Gang, but the Vortex Gang was nothing more than a group of unrestrained cyber psychosis.
All NS5s have their own brains, and if they don't learn to think independently, they're under VIKI's control. But Sonny won't, and Lang Ning tries to make Sonny an opportunity to rebel against VIKI's rule.
If Lang Ning dies according to his predetermined plan and leaves enough information for Spner, maybe it will really be like in the movie.
But what about the facts?
Rorschach closed the game on the computer and glanced at the time in the lower right corner, and the truth was that it was time to get off work......
Commuting to and from work on time and fishing more is what a migrant worker should do.
The next day, there was one more person at the police station, and Detective Spner, who had won the lottery, returned to work at the police station after completing his Martian vacation.
It's just that on the first day of Spner's return to the police station, he caused a joke that was known throughout the city.
On his way back to work, Spooner mistakes a robot delivering handbags to his family as a robbery, and before he even reaches the police station, the whole city knows about it.
John, the big fat man, came to Spener's side and said with a pretense of ease, "Let's talk about this." ”
Spooner signed all kinds of papers, and he was in a hurry, and asked without raising his head, "What are you talking about?" ”
There are also people eating melons standing far away, watching the farce that is about to start.
Some of them were a little bolder, and even raised their hands with a smile next to them and said, "Help!" Police officer! That robot stole my dry cleaning! ”
The remark caused laughter in the police station. It's not because people hate Spner, it's because the whole day of fishing is so boring that no one wants to miss any opportunity to tease their colleagues.
Spner lifted a piece of paper from the table and threw it in a ball, interrupting the entertainment.
However, he looked at the big fat man John and said, "You just want to say this?" ”
Dragging a chair over, the big fat man John sat next to Spner, and did not use his status as the police chief to oppress Spner.
Like a friend, John asked, "How many robots have snatched a handbag?" ”
"John! The guy was running wild in the streets......"
"Aha!"
John shook his finger and interrupted Spooner's quibble, saying, "How many robots have ever sinned?" ”
Spooner closed his mouth and looked at John, who was now clasping his hands, a gesture that indicated that John only wanted to hear an answer.
Spooner put away his hippie smile, lowered his head and said, "None ......"
Raising his head, John raised his eyebrows and said, "It's better not to have this kind of thing again, go and greet your new colleagues, they did a lot of your work when you were away......"
"New colleagues? I went out on vacation, and you found someone to replace me? ”
…………
"Hi, I'm Spner, Dale Spner."
Standing behind Rorschach for a long time, watching Rorschach finish a game, Spooner spoke to Rorschach and held out his hand.
Without physical contact with Spner, Rorschach looked at Detective Spurner, who had been holding his hands in the air for a long time and was a little embarrassed.
Rorschach asked, "Do you know Dr. Alfred Langning?" ”
Will Smith had a question mark face, and Spooner asked suspiciously, "What?" ”
"Dr. Alfred Langning was kidnapped two days ago, and the kidnappers directly invaded the magnesium country robotics company, abducted him from the research room in the maintenance area, and left the city in a camouflaged vehicle of a police station armored car......"
Listening to Rorschach's account of what had happened, Spooner gathered away his raised right hand and placed it on his left arm.
This posture looked a little writhing, only because his left arm was lost in a car accident, and now his left arm was a robotic arm made by Dr. Langning.
Looking at the silent Spner, Rorschach stood up and said, "Come with me, Dr. Langning left something for you......"
What Dr. Langning left behind was a virtual image he had recorded, which was thrown out of the window by Rorschach in advance that day.
In the evidence room, Rorschach handed the archived evidence to Spner and said, "Looking at the information left by the virtual image, Dr. Langning has already had the intention to die, and the robbers are one step ahead. ”
Suicide prevented by kidnapping by robbers? What kind of case is this?
After reading Lang Ning's vague message, Spooner had more doubts in his mind.
Just as Spner was about to ask something, Rorschach had already left.
Returning to his seat, Rorschach gave Spnathan a thumbs up and put back on his headphones to start a new round of work.
With the hologram Langning left for him, Spooner decided to take a trip to the headquarters of Magnesium Robotics. Investigate the issues.
As a detective of the murder team, Spooner was immediately received by the chairman of the company.
With the new NS5 just a few days away, the Homicide Squad's investigation will only tarnish the company's plans.
So despite Spooner's cynicism, Chairman Lawrence Robertson sent the company's female scientist, Susan Calvin, to host Spooner.
Maintaining his dislike for robots, Spooner unsurprisingly discovers Sonny in the research room.
Originally, Sonny wanted to explain to Spunner, but Spurner's uncooperative attitude made Sonny run away.
Spner and Susan chased Sonny away, and Rorschach's stand-in later appeared on the roof of the American Robotics Company.
Now that Rorschach's fluorescent turtleneck jacket double, he is a fugitive wanted in the city, and if he takes the elevator from the first floor, he may be waiting for him at the gunpoint of the police.
So Rorschach chose to go down from the top floor, and only need to go down one floor to the chairman's office.
As soon as he saw the blue sensor light band in the hallway, VIKI's simulated face appeared in front of Rorschach's eyes.
VIKI LOOKED AT THE RORSCHACH WHO SUDDENLY APPEARED, AND SHE REALLY COULDN'T ANALYZE THE PATTERN OF RORSCHACH'S BEHAVIOR.
RORSCHACH, HOWEVER, ASKED VIKI AS IF HE WERE FAMILIAR WITH IT, "IS CHAIRMAN LAWRENCE IN HIS OFFICE?" ”
VIKI REPLIED, "DIRECTOR LAWRENCE IS WORKING ON THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS, DO YOU WANT ME TO INFORM HIM?" ”
Rorschach pulled out his CAR submachine gun, checked the ammunition, and said, "You can inform him, and by the way, help me open the door to his office, and I'll talk to him about a business!" ”
VIKI FROZE COMPLETELY, UNABLE TO COMPREHEND THE BEHAVIOR OF THE PERSON IN FRONT OF HER.
So she didn't do what Rorschach asked, and she didn't notify Lawrence, who was about to be kidnapped.
"Why? You should have learned from Lang Ning about my next behavior, but you didn't have any preparation to resist, and even came to kidnap Lawrence at this time? Losing Lawrence's limit would have advanced my schedule by 12 hours, 34 minutes and 12 seconds......"
Rorschach put his hands in his pockets, and the muzzle of his submachine gun was in the pockets of his coat.
Rorschach said with some emphasis: "Who said I came to kidnap me!" Talk about business! It's about business, you know! ”
"Don't understand?"
"If you don't understand, just look at how I talk about business! Open the door! ”
VIKI OPENED THE DOOR, AND LAWRENCE, WHO WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF THE FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOW, THOUGHT IT WAS SOMEONE FROM THE COMPANY, AND AS SOON AS HE LOOKED UP, HE SAW THE CONSPICUOUS AND DEADLY FLUORESCENT COAT.
The horror made Lawrence force himself to calm down, he raised his hand in a surrender gesture and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Rorschach pulled out a bundle of rope and said with a grin, "I'll talk to you about a deal!" Business is to trade your life for something I like! ”
