Outside the "Ballroom".

The man with the two knives raised his eyes and looked at Han Jiang, pointed to the tall building in front of him, and said, "It's time to get there, or... We went up with Kurt... The boss said that it would be done, so I won't bother you two......"

Han Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the man in front of him, and saw that the hair of the man with two knives exploded before he staggered his gaze and said indifferently:

"We're going to have to deal with the boss, too."

Seeing that the two mercenaries were still hesitating, she took two steps back and walked behind them, took out the silver pistol from before, waved it at them ostentatiously, and said:

"We don't want to bring two bodies to the boss, what do you say?"

The two glanced at each other when they heard this, but they still sighed heavily, and took the lead in walking into the tall building.

Jiang Jiu shrugged his shoulders and immediately followed his footsteps.

Han Jiang looked at the man with two knives, a trace of impatience flashed between his proud eyebrows, and said:

"What are you grinding? Let's go! ”

"Yes, yes... Brother Jiang. ”

On the way, I heard the two people say that this is a "dance hall".

Jiang Jiuwei thought that it would be another place similar to Kurt's bar, which was lit up with wine and neon, but when she entered, she was greatly surprised.

The environment is clean and regular, unlike the buildings across from it, which create light pollution.

Apart from the simple frescoes on both sides, there are hardly any items that can be called decorative.

She looked up and saw that the light was cold, a bit like the glow from a shadowless lamp above a real-world hospital operating room.

It's less like a ballroom and more like a ......

Laboratory?

Why did Boss Kurt pick such a strange place to meet? Could it be that there is some secret hidden behind this simple décor......

Jiang Jiuwei couldn't figure it out for a while, but he always felt that this place was a little familiar. The two were led by the mercenaries around several corners before finally coming to an elevator.

[Player Jiang Jiuwei/Trigger the main quest "Nocturne Melodious"]

[Contents: There is a "holy" building in the neon city, and a refreshing "nocturne" will be heard in the dead of night.] You who approach it for no reason will witness an illusory dream, or... Bursting bubbles. 】

[Final Goal: End the "Nocturne" Experiment]

Feeling Han Jiang's gaze, Jiang Jiu didn't know that he, like himself, triggered this so-called main quest.

But the description of the mission is incomprehensible, and even the target is flickering, and no useful information can be extracted.

Jiang Jiu didn't think about it, since the two of them were able to trigger this task, it meant that his group was still on the right path.

Now we just have to wait and see what happens.

The elevator gradually rose, and the familiar feeling in Jiang Jiuwei's heart continued to surge. She turned her head sideways to look at Han Jiang and whispered:

"Han Jiang, what is your pre-check?"

Han Jiang didn't expect her to suddenly ask about this, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, glanced at the two mercenaries, and said concisely:

"At night, on an open rooftop, a mentally ill woman, about 30 years old, was mechanically modified and suspected of murder. I shot it to death. ”

Jiang Jiu didn't realize where the feeling of déjà vu came from when he just looked at the building from the outside.

In the pre-check, I once kicked a man down on the roof of this building.

At that time, the person looked excited, like crazy, and he also looked like a "murderer" in Han Jiang's mouth.

The man had glanced downstairs when he fell, and the architectural style was the same as what he remembered.

"Oh? Do you think that's the key to the main quest? ”

Han Jiang frowned,

"So, the protagonist of 'Nocturne' is the murderer?"

The clues are a mess, and Jiang Jiuwei can't connect the person who died in the pre-level and the main quest.

As he spoke, the elevator stopped, and two mercenaries walked out, and Jiang Jiuwei and Han Jiang walked out.

The group suddenly stepped into it, and the cool breeze similar to the central air conditioning made everyone tremble.

Jiang Jiu didn't raise his eyes. It was a large circular room, with all the walls closed on all sides, except for a large hall in the center.

There is a huge chandelier on the ceiling of the hall, and the light is soft and warm.

To Jiang Jiuwei's surprise, there was nothing else in such a large space except for a few tables.

"Boss Kurt is waiting in the office upstairs, let's go up."

The man with the two knives led the way, while Han Jiang and Jiang Jiuwei followed behind them.

Along the way, Jiang Jiu did not keenly notice that this floor did not have the drunken fans who imagined the bright lights of singing and dancing venues, but the quiet and solemn glass isolation rooms.

Through the gaps in the heavy curtain cloth, Jiang Jiu could not vaguely see that there were many people inside.

Those people's bodies have been replaced by machines to a greater or lesser extent.

They sat in their chairs, leaning or reclining, closing their eyes or staring up at the ceiling.

They are surrounded by all kinds of equipment and have professional staff to monitor them.

Everything seemed very peaceful and quiet, even the occasional ticking sound was like a soft music, but there was a faint sense of weirdness.

The group walked to a closed door at the end.

The man with the double knife said hello, pushed open the door and walked in first.

When the time came, Han Jiang gave Jiang Jiuwei a look, took out a sniper rifle in his hand, and took advantage of the two mercenaries to turn their backs, aiming at the head of the double-knife man, and shot fiercely.

[Mercenary "Black Mantis" takes damage, Hp-2470! (Head Crit!) Achilles heel! Instant kill! ）】

Jiang Jiuwei took advantage of the big man's stunned streak and stepped forward directly, directly pressing his shoulder, his eyes cold.

[Player Jiang Jiuwei/Judgment imprisonment, increase priority, judgment successful!] 】

The big man saw the man with the double knife falling, his eyes showed resentment, and he wanted to turn back and fight back, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move a bit.

Han Jiang looked at him with sympathy who was pressed by Jiang Jiuwei's small hand and couldn't move, and he fired a good bullet, ending the life of the big man's sin.

[Mercenary "Giant Axe" takes damage, Hp-2458!] (Head Crit!) Achilles heel! Instant kill! ）】

"It's okay to kill instantly."

"I was handsome by the ninth sister's 'point'."

"The female goose is so sassy!"

"These two are invincible together!"

"Uh... In fact, Han Jiang is already invincible when he goes alone. ”

Kicking away the bodies of the two, Jiang Jiuwei didn't care about any ambushes on both sides, calmly stepped into the office, and said loudly:

"Boss Kurt, long time no see."

Kurt seemed to have known that she was coming, and his face was completely free of the spineless panic he had before, he turned off the computer in front of him, got up to greet her, and said:

"I've also heard about Miss Jiang. Can be taken out unscathed in the hands of the military, heroic! But... I'm curious, why did Miss Jiang come to me? ”

"I wonder, what are you going to to the trouble for? Or rather... What exactly is a company's assets? ”

Boss Kurt was not too surprised by her question, and there was a little strange relief between his eyebrows, and he said frankly: "A chip? ”

"Chips?"

The sniper rifle in Han Jiang's hand was still not put down, he looked at the boss in front of him coldly, and said,

"Why doesn't the chip information be transmitted over the Internet, but instead shipped to the entity?"

"This little brother is Han Jiang, right?" The Cold Gun' lives up to its name... The purpose of not leaving cloud files is to prevent information leakage. ”

Han Jiang let out a noncommittal "oh", and the soles of his feet rhythmically tapped the ground, circled to his side, and questioned:

"You're from the company? Is there a cloud leak in this city that companies can't stop? ”

Kurt looked at him deeply and responded:

"Brother Han, the company's capabilities are not without limits. Once this chip spreads, it will cause more than several times more harm than the world's most advanced weapons. ”

Jiang Jiuwei's eyes flickered, and he said tentatively:

"Tell me, what kind of chip is this?"

"It's easy to say..."

Boss Kurt walked to the wall on the side, took out something similar to a chip remote control from the dark compartment with a single operation, and showed it to everyone, saying,

"This chip is able to manipulate people's emotions."

"Emotions? Isn't this a long time ago possible? ”

Han Jiang wondered,

"The AI here can completely simulate human emotions, what's the use of asking for this?"

Boss Kurt shook his head, pressed the remote control button in his hand at the two of them, and said with a deep gaze:

"The previous one was just a simulated emotion. And this one can really control a person's emotions, and the most innovative thing is......

It can attach itself like a virus to the constituent network of any neural instrument, like this......"

[Player Jiang Jiuwei / Controlled by the Neural Module, the current mood is "desperate"]

[Player Jiang Jiu is not affected, Sp-50! (Mental confusion!) ）】

Jiang Jiuwei suddenly felt a burst of electricity from the head exoskeleton manipulator, and his body suddenly went cold, and he felt that the whole person had fallen into a bottomless ice cellar.

She seemed to see the giant hand that was about to cover her mouth and nose again.

Maybe I can't escape this time......

Such... That might be good, too......

When Han Jiang saw him press the remote control, he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly raised his gun and retreated, pulling Jiang Jiuwei by the way and turning on the stealth mode.

He looked at the girl who had a vivid face in front of him, and found that there was an empty dead silence in her eyes, and it seemed that for a moment he had lost interest in everything.

"Jiang Jiuwei, wake up!"

"Mr. 'Cold Gun', I advise you not to violently disassemble the device on Miss Jiang's head, I don't like vegetative ......"

Kurt said as he walked to the location where the two had just disappeared, and turned to threaten,

"The bodies of people like 'you' are valuable for my experiments, and I don't want you to die so meaninglessly."

"Damn, why are there all old yin people in this world!"

"What's wrong with the ninth sister..."

"She could be... Stuck in a state of despair? ”

"Han Shen must protect the ninth sister!"

"Ninth Sister has such an empty look, it seems... Doll-like. ”
