Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 104 NO.0067: Inducing Beacons

The warehouse of Theseus occupies a very large area, coupled with the three-dimensional structure that resembles a honeycomb, making it an extremely complicated three-dimensional maze.

Countless regular hexagonal storage rooms are crowded together in this maze, which looks like a kaleidoscope, with no end in sight.

Booker blew up the magnetic door lock in the storage room labeled [A-0001] with a microwave launcher, and the heavy door automatically popped open.

And the things inside made him speechless for a moment...

Three sets of high-simulation life-scale interactive toys under Venus Digital Media lay quietly in the [A-0001] storage room. The body shape spans the three growth stages of women, and there are various model replacement parts hanging behind it-basically completing the full coverage of the normal interest range.

"This thing is actually second-hand refurbished and smuggled to the upper floors of the resettlement area... By the way, is this kind of thing popular among young people nowadays?"

Looking at the traceability information that popped up together, Booker was a little embarrassed and had nothing to say.

His expression at the moment is a bit like an old father who pretends to be calm when he watches a movie with his son and suddenly plays a passionate scene.

In this regard, Jiang Zhou was very calm - at this moment, he looks like I have watched more movies than you have watched.

"What's the age... This thing is expensive and hard to maintain, and online matching is popular now—anonymous netizens can generate remote connections with avatars who optimize their appearance and body. If you are interested, I will send it to you later. An invitation code, I snatched a public beta account back then... But after I heard that a grandson deliberately created a female account to be disgusting, I didn't use it anymore."

Recalling Liao Qi's past, Jiang Zhou couldn't help lamenting that technology changed life again.

"Ah... this... I appreciate the good intentions. But it's better not to, this kind of young people's stuff is too avant-garde for me."

Booker's expression was sullen, as determined as a clean official who refuses to accept bribes in a model play.

"Are you sure you don't need it? The personal customization function of that program is quite powerful. It seems to adjust the appearance of the stand-in to Fu Ruidu..."

Jiang Zhou continued with a suppressed smile.

"no, I'm fine!"

Booker turned around and closed the door with a bang, interrupting like this.

At the same time, he also ignited the noise-reducing glue on the edge of the door with microwaves, directly sealing the door of the storage room.

Jiang Zhou tried his best not to laugh too much - he actually guessed that the other party would answer like this. The reason why he asked this question on purpose was entirely because the usually serious Booker looked so embarrassed that it was a bit interesting to be true.

On the other side, Booker walked to the storage room next door marked [A-0002] with a straight face, raised his hand and burned the door lock.

Behind the door this time is a commemorative guitar covered with holographic stickers of the "Dead Silence" rock band-the instrument used by this band has been specially processed to only emit sounds in the infrasonic frequency range. To someone who has not altered their hearing, their concerts look like pantomime performances.

Clearly, that wasn't what they were looking for either.

"If you open and search violently like you, it will take about three months to find it if you are lucky."

Jiang Zhou looked up and scanned the densely packed compartments, and roughly estimated the number of storage rooms through space division calculations, and then he reminded.

And Booker, who walked to the third storage room, after burning down the third door lock by repeating the same trick, said:

"It's okay, I didn't plan to open them one by one. As long as the 'treasure box' is opened to a certain extent, the manager of this warehouse will definitely find us impatiently."

After opening the door, he said so.

As soon as the words fell, as if to confirm what he said, a rapid intrusion alarm sounded in the warehouse.

The gates of several eye-catching "hives" opened on their own, and thousands of bee drones flew out of them. Then they flew all the way to Jiang Zhou and Booker, and finally formed a face with no memory.

"Dear two customers, first of all thank you very much for visiting our company's work base in the Nord resettlement area. Everything is for the customer's experience, which is always the service purpose of our Theseus Freight Company, which is written into the company The source instruction of the operation. Therefore, this is not an offense. We have detected that two people have expressed dissatisfaction with our service. Here, please allow me to ask, in which aspects of our service, it is unbearable Is there a problem? If you can tell us, we will be very grateful and will do our best to correct and optimize."

The human face composed of thousands of drones asked very politely in front of them in a humble tone.

If he hadn't seen thousands of subsonic riot guns installed on those drones aimed at them, Jiang Zhou would have almost believed it.

After pondering for a moment, he said:

"I hope to find the location number of a special item in your warehouse."

The face slowly turned to Jiang Zhou, and then continued to say in a humble voice as if he would kneel down at any moment:

"If the customer has purchased the service before, you only need to show the order number and pass the verification of the mandala password, and I will tell you everything."

"Although it's not the storage service we purchased, that thing legally belongs to us. And we just want to know the location number, and we won't take away the contents... Do you think this is feasible?"

Booker on the side asked.

The face shook his head, full of regret.

"I'm very sorry, I'm very sorry. Although we advocate customer first, the request you made actually hurt the interests of another customer. Therefore, I can't meet your request. Please also ask Haihan our work What's wrong."

It says so.

"Then may I ask, have any staff of the coalition government ever handled storage services for a universal printer in the past. And, if so, how many years have they handled the service period, and is it overdue now? You only use Just answer 'yes' or 'no'."

Jiang Zhou asked immediately.

"I don't have the right to disclose any information about our customers, please also Haihan."

The face continued.

Jiang Zhou and Booker exchanged glances when they heard the words.

If it is in the base reality, there is no need to continue the chat right now-you can never convince an AI without triggering specific conditions.

But right now in the abyss dark net, they have another choice.

Kill the opponent, and then search for the answer from the data ball that the opponent exploded.

However, the face at the moment is obviously just a clone. Booker was a little uncertain about what direction the next situation would develop after killing "it".

It's like in the game, kill the clone and then get a stronger clone, until finally the main body comes.

Or did the other party just hide and stop playing with them?

Just as he was hesitating, the face in front of him suddenly twitched—as if he had received some interference signal.

Before Booker realized what was going on, there was a mournful cry from the mouth of that human face. Immediately, it collapsed as a whole, turning into many snakes cruising in mid-air. Then, as if they were attracted by something, they quickly flew out into the distance.

…………

"You, come with me."

Aconitum-23, which flew back again, said this as soon as it landed.

He pointed his finger at Jiang Zhou.

"OK."

Regarding this, Jiang Zhou walked out very calmly - he didn't even ask what the other party was going to do.

Seeing this, Wutou-23 raised his head and turned to look at the other humans behind him, saying:

"Other people, stay where they are and wait for orders. There may be malicious programs that are far more powerful than Depth 2 nearby. If you don't want to die, don't run around."

When he said this, Jiang Zhou noticed that there were several obvious injuries on the opponent's body. And the movements he made seemed a little stiff.

This is hurt?

Recalling the fiery battle before, he thought to himself.

However, if an adjuster with a depth of 4 and an upgrade path fights against a malicious program of depth 2, will he be injured?

"Why him?"

At this time, Qianxia Sakura asked with some doubts.

When Wutou-23 heard this, six red lights suddenly lit up on his face, which made the former shrink back in fright.

"What? Do you want to replace him?"

he asked sullenly.

Qianxia Ying lowered her head resentfully, and did not speak.

Wutou-23 turned to look at Jiang Zhou, and continued:

"You have a guiding beacon on you, right?"

Jiang Zhou nodded.

"Well, you will be the bait for the next action, do you have any objections?"

If I say I have an opinion, will you change your mind?

Jiang Zhou complained secretly, and then said:

"I know where I stand."

Aconitum-23 nodded:

"So, I like to hang out with smart people."

Without saying anything more, the two went to Theseus' warehouse along the previous route.

During this period, Jiang Zhou found an opportunity and deliberately took the wrong direction in the criss-crossing three-dimensional maze. Not in the same direction as Booker and Liao Qi in the warehouse.

After reaching an open space, Aconitum-23 asked Jiang Zhou to place the guiding beacon alone.

The induced beacon is a signal source based on the "breadcrumb imprint" technology. It can simulate the signal of the deep diving interface, giving those malicious programs the illusion that they can pass through the Styx firewall and rise to the base reality.

In this way, those malicious programs can be induced to enter the pre-prepared encirclement.

But right now, when Jiang Zhou placed the tower-shaped beacon, there was no encirclement around it.

Only Aconitum-23 was watching him work not far away.

Jiang Zhou had a sense of sight that he was taken to the wilderness by the gang, and the other party gave him a shovel, allowing him to dig a hole big enough to bury a person.

"alright."

Without saying anything, Jiang Zhou raised his head after setting up the beacon and said.

Regarding this, Aconitum-23 suddenly sighed and said:

"Do you know why I called you here alone?"

Jiang Zhou didn't make a sound.

"To tell you the truth, in fact, this entire dive verification operation is just a cover. Because the suspicion and accusation against you was completely withdrawn after the inspection was correct a week ago. And this dive, in fact Mainly to find a suitable opportunity...

"A chance to kill you."

Aconitum-23 suddenly became very candid.

It was not difficult to kill the prisoner itself, but what was difficult was to keep Perse Fanny from complaining after he was killed.

"I can almost guess."

In this regard, Jiang Zhou also nodded - this is indeed the biggest possibility he thought of from the beginning.

"So, this is also the reason for bringing me here alone to place the induction beacon? In the report, write the cause of death as an accident?"

Jiang Zhou continued to ask.

"That was originally planned...but now, before that, I need to confirm a few more things."

Aconitum-23 nodded.

Then, without waiting for Jiang Zhou's reaction, he continued:

"It was originally agreed that you, a guy with amazing talents in all aspects, would be strangled in the cradle. This is something my master and Ye Qian discussed together... But now it seems that I still have my master, It seems to have been played by that bastard."

As he spoke, he raised his head and raised his voice:

"Ye Qian, you bastard have been here all the time, haven't you?"
