Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 258 NO.0101: Fictional Identity and Simulation

As the knock on the door rang, the spirits of several people in the room became tense for a moment.

"Don't move yet."

Jiang Zhou raised his hand, and the Black Falcon-136, which had a ceramic claw blade popped out of its forearm, stopped instantly - without additional instructions, the current 136 would only respond to changes in the external environment. Exciting reaction.

In a strange and strange environment, trying to solve the problem with force for the first time will definitely not be a wise choice.

Immediately, Jiang Zhou lowered his footsteps and walked to the door, looking out through the peephole on the door.

In the apartment corridor stretched by the lens, two young men wearing the uniforms of the Eden Resettlement Police Department were knocking patiently on the door.

Probably from the change of light and dark in the peephole, he could tell that there was someone standing on the other side of the door. One of the police officers said directly:

"Mr. Kurosawa, a neighbor complained that you were disturbing the public at three o'clock last night. An electronic summons has been sent to you online before. Please open the door and cooperate with the investigation."

Jiang Zhou didn't reply, but took a deep breath, then staggered two steps back from the door.

"Who is knocking on the door outside? Do you need a guy?"

Seeing Jiang Zhou's panic, Chinatsu Sakura quickly walked over with a smart rifle. She pointed the gun at the door and asked.

Jiang Zhou quickly waved his hand, signaling her to put down the gun quickly.

"Listen, we might now..."

Realizing what had happened, he quickly lowered his voice and explained.

However, before he could finish his words, he was stunned when he turned around and saw the mirror at the entrance.

The person in the mirror is not myself.

At this moment, what was reflected in the door mirror was not the pale and tall and thin figure named "Jiang Zhou". The person in the mirror is a short, stocky Japanese man with an unconscious smile on his face.

Chinatsu Sakura, who came over with a gun, turned into a handsome-looking little boy with the baby fat on his face that had not completely faded away - it looked like the gun he was holding was bigger than himself.

"Dong dong dong!"

At this time, the knocking on the door became louder.

"Mr. Kurosawa Gen, please open the door and cooperate with the investigation."

Another policeman outside the door urged.

"Put away your weapons first."

Jiang Zhou said this after being silent for about half a second.

The moment Black Falcon-136 received this order, it seemed like a conditioned reflex to disarm all its weapons. Chinatsu Sakura, who also saw the scene in the mirror, froze on the spot and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where she should ask.

Therefore, the only person present who finally expressed doubts was Perse Fanny.

"Why put away your weapons?"

she asked doubtfully.

"Put away all your weapons... We are all assigned our own identities in this city that simulates the Eden resettlement area."

Jiang Zhou stepped forward as he spoke, and the pulse pistol he held in his hand turned into sparks of light and quickly dissipated. Then, he stretched out his hand and grasped the doorknob.

"Don't say anything for a while."

Taking a deep breath, he opened the door.

"Two police officers, regarding the matter of disturbing people in the middle of the night, this is really just a misunderstanding."

Jiang Zhou asked with a smile on his face.

"I'm just testing according to the procedures. If there are no problems, I'd be fine if you could sign a letter of apology and a letter of commitment."

In response, the man outside the door strode in with a sense of confidence based on his own abilities.

"Of course we will cooperate with the investigation... I haven't asked the police officer what your name is yet?"

Jiang Zhou stepped into the role, bent down in a posture that fit his character, made way for the other party and asked.

"Jim Leiter."

The man approaching—the man who looked almost exactly like Jim remembered himself twenty years ago—answered while looking up and down the aisle.

Then he crossed the river boat and casually touched Qianxia Ying's head as he passed by, and then said:

"The police officer in the back is named Héloïse Hanel, and he is my assistant."

As Jiang Zhou expected, Hanel immediately choked back:

"Don't listen to his nonsense, this guy is my assistant!"

Hanel also stepped forward after hearing this. She was only in her early twenties "at this moment", exuding an unmodified youthful atmosphere.

After such an argument, she walked up to Jiang Zhou and asked:

"By the way, Mr. Kurosawa Gen. According to the registration, you recently changed into a new prosthetic leg for kitchen use due to work, right?"

…………

"Fuck!"

Donata's face almost hit the windshield due to the sudden braking, and she suddenly woke up from her drowsiness.

She first glanced ahead - now they were parked in the middle of the road, with shouts and whistles coming from behind - and then she turned her head and looked at Jim in the driver's seat.

"Did you forget to turn off the gas at home or something?"

Seeing Jim's expression of "I've seen a ghost" at this moment, she asked half complaining and half puzzled.

"What the hell..."

he murmured.

"This is a new statement... Where is it?"

Donata asked as she looked around.

At this time, the honking and cursing behind them became louder - it was the rush hour for work, and the road was blocked by such a classic car, and no one's patience would be enough.

"So... why don't we get stuck in the middle of the road first?"

Seeing this, Donata quickly suggested.

Regarding this suggestion, the expression on Jim's face was uncertain for a while. Finally, while restarting the car, he asked:

"Previously, your family borrowed the multi-purpose printer there to make adjustments and transformations?"

"ah?"

Probably because the topic changed too quickly, Donata didn't react for a moment.

The piercing horns and curses were gradually left behind by the rapidly increasing speed of the car. Jim turned to look at Donata with a gloomy face and continued to ask:

"Then...if I use your family's connections, can you arrange for me to use that multi-purpose printer?"

…………

"This is the bitch Kurosawa Kyoko..."

After "Jim" and "Hanel" entered the room, Jiang Zhou followed their gazes and pointed to Perse Fanny beside him and introduced him.

Fanny, who was called to be another person, opened her mouth in confusion, as if she wanted to say something. When Jiang Zhou saw this, he quickly stopped him and said:

"Why are you still standing here? Why don't you hurry up and make tea for the two police officers!"

A statement that is very consistent with the stereotype of Japanese immigrant families.

And when Jiang Zhou yelled like this, Fanny was also frightened.

She looked up and down at the two police officers who entered the door, and for a moment, her face showed an extremely shocked expression.

"Don't bother sister-in-law. If there are no problems, we won't stay too long."

Seeing this situation, young "Jim" waved his hand quickly.

But at this time, Fanny was a little distracted and said:

"Okay...ok, I'll go...make tea."

She said, ignoring "Jim's" polite refusal, turning around as if sleepwalking, and walked to the kitchen aside.

“The tea is placed in the second-floor cabinet, next to the refrigerator.

"do not forget!"

Jiang Zhou quickly reminded her back.

Immediately, he turned to look at "Jim", deliberately put on a worried expression and asked:

"Police officer, I can explain the matter of cutting things to disturb the residents in the middle of the night last night..."

At this time, Hanel on the side walked directly to Black Falcon-136, then pointed at him and said:

"this is……"

Jiang Zhou was shocked.

In Jim's memory, the Kurosawa family he once investigated had only three members in total - except for the Kurosawa couple and their son Kurosawa Hikaru, there was no fourth person in this family.

But this time they came to this... whether it was the matrix simulation of the Eden resettlement area twenty years ago, or the data archive. In short, the identities they can replace now are not enough for all four people.

If they can't explain the identity of Black Falcon-136, should they take the first step to control these two people?

Jiang Zhou thought of this and couldn't help but open his own data storage.

"Is this the SR-4 Home Service Butler?"

After carefully studying Black Falcon-136 for a while, Hanel turned to look at Jiang Zhou and asked curiously.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou quickly searched the database for the SR-4 home service butler. After learning that this thing was a humanoid service robot produced by Apollo Biotech twenty years ago, he quickly replied:

"Yes... 136, go help make tea together."

After receiving the order, Black Falcon-136 also turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"Hey...this looks pretty useful."

Looking at 136's extremely smooth movements, "Hanel" couldn't help but say with envy. Immediately, she turned to look at "Jim" and said:

"Jimmy, when the bonuses are paid out at the end of the year, how about we buy this one too?"

Black Falcon-136, as an adjuster in a "zombie" state, was assigned the identity of a housekeeper robot?

Jiang Zhou thought to himself while heaving a sigh of relief.

"Our two year-end bonuses, even if we add them up and multiply them by two, we can't afford this."

In this regard, "Jim" had nothing to be angry about.

Immediately, he walked up to Jiang Zhou and looked at him suspiciously:

"Although it is somewhat offensive to say this, Mr. Kurosawa, given your financial level... you are replacing a high-end prosthetic hand and buying a maintenance robot. It will be a bit difficult, right?"

This reaction is so similar...

Jiang Zhou looked at the look "Jim" gave him and listened to the questions he asked, and couldn't help but think.

This is not like the previous second deep dive to the Nord settlement area, which is just a snapshot of the data of the personal information file of the person; similarly, it is not simply a repeat of the video playback recorded twenty years ago. .

Whether it is the "Jim" or "Hanel" in front of them, as long as the things they encounter change, then they will react as they should.

What is this? Matrix data simulation? So how big is the scale of the simulation?

Is it just the two people in front of me, or is it simulating the entire Eden resettlement area?

Or is it simulating the entire human society?

The previous group has exploded. Book friends can join the group again.
