Abyssal Wanderer

Fake blue sky, white clouds, and sunshine that is hard to look directly at.

After walking through the long tunnel and entering the tenth floor, Jim felt like he had traveled back a hundred years in a trance.

If the underground of the Nord Resettlement Area is a water tank for fermented kitchen waste, and the other above-ground floors below the tenth floor are strong and cheap industrial plastic barrels, then the impression given by the environment on the tenth floor is that of a shape Exquisite crystal artwork.

It exudes useless cleanliness and elegance.

Therefore it appears noble.

The sky dome simulates the pristine sky of the A.D., and only a few advertisements float across it like glimmers of light—rather than the nearly constant flickers of ringworm or gonorrhea like Jim's previous fifth floor. advertisment.

During rush hour, there may occasionally be millions of screens forming a huge face, appearing in the sky like God among the clouds. It's just that the gospel peddled by "God" is not a promise to heaven, but other cultural poisonous wine that can temporarily fill people's inner thirst.

"Finally no stupid face suddenly appears from the sky, and then winks and tells you that as long as you buy something, you can become a high-class person."

Jim sighed as he breathed in the fresh air.

Because the air circulation system is always open at full power, the air quality on the tenth floor is placed on the floors below it, which is a recuperation service that requires money to experience.

"Because the people who live here are the so-called upper class."

Looking at the tall building that stood in the center of the city, connecting the ground and the dome, Wang Ying answered casually.

"Then he spent the whole day doing nasty things."

Jim said.

When Wang Ying heard this, she couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

"My impression is that you are not so cynical."

She was a little surprised.

"Then I probably gave you a wrong impression. Besides, was it wrong? Otherwise, how did they get into the upper class?"

In response, Jim pointed to the gorgeous buildings in the distance.

In response, Wang Ying looked at him seriously, and then said hesitantly:

"You sound like an Icarusian."

Ah...I almost forgot that she is a member of the establishment.

Jim then remembered this.

But it was too late. Wang Ying looked at Jim very seriously and said:

"Are you trying to be like Liao Qi from Icarus, hoping to solve all problems by killing all the upper-class people?"

Although Wang Ying sympathizes with the lower class in the resettlement area, she does not have a good impression of the interim government and the company. But as a citizen living in the upper class of the resettlement area, she really couldn't develop a good impression of the "Icarus Liberation Front", a radical organization that had hijacked the lives of all residents in the resettlement area.

Especially after the "Battle of the Shattered Sky", there were a large number of terrorist attacks in the name of the "Icarus Liberation Front". As a police detective in the resettlement area's Public Security Bureau, she had enough opportunities to witness with her own eyes the brutal atrocities.

"As far as I know, killing everyone is not their goal."

Jim had to answer.

"But in order to achieve their goals, enough people must die."

Wang Ying showed an expression of disgust on her face and said:

"I can understand revenge, just like what their spiritual idol Liao Qi promotes, personal grudges. But this cannot explain that some of them extended the butcher knife to innocent people... Even if it is revenge, the infant children in the enemy's family What crime is there that requires being brutally killed together? Is replacing one kind of violence with another kind of violence the so-called justice? "

In response, Jim took a deep breath and then said:

"Of course the death of those innocent children is a tragedy, but aren't Liao Qi's mother and those who died tragically underground in the resettlement area innocent?"

Before the other party could refute, he continued:

"Justice has anger, Officer Wang. Until true justice comes, those anger will not be appeased, and of course those tragedies will not be either... But they are just exercising their inherent rights, you can't Demand nobility from those who have a hard time even living.”

Seeing that the other party seemed to want to continue saying something, Jim immediately changed the topic:

"There is no need to argue over political differences now, let's get down to business first... Are you sure the multi-purpose printer is placed in the 'Lighthouse'?"

Lighthouse, the temporary government office headquarters of the Nord Resettlement Area.

The centerpiece of the Nord resettlement area built by the coalition government was the ten-story building. It includes the data processing center of the entire giant building, expansion module interfaces, and the main control system of the ecological cycle.

It can be said that this is the brain that enables the entire resettlement area to operate - the dome display screens on each floor of the resettlement area, all original ecological circulation systems, and their control centers are all integrated into this building.

"The people in the Sheriff's Department who go to be strengthened are all sent to the lighthouse for transformation."

Wang Ying answered, then she stared at Jim and said:

"But why go to the multi-purpose printer? What does this have to do with this case?"

Previously, out of her trust in Jim, she did not ask too much about the relevant details. But after the other party just showed more recognition for the Icarus Liberation Front than it should have, she couldn't help but start to wonder whether it was the right thing to let the other party enter the management center of the entire resettlement area.

Jim saw the other party's worry and couldn't help but sigh:

"I'm not that crazy yet...and that's not Jim Leiter's calling."

"Then why do you..."

Regarding Wang Ying's question, Jim gave the reason he had made up before:

"I need to investigate the usage records of the multi-purpose printer."

He paused for a moment to allow the other person to understand, then continued:

"I have some clues in my hand, which involve the Provisional Government, the Apollo creatures, and a certain cult organization. The previous series of murders were just an attempt to clear obstacles and prepare for the next larger-scale operation. The Icarus Liberation Front is being used as their scapegoat...but I am now short of evidence and alone.

"But as long as I can find the usage records of the multi-purpose printer, I can prove that some people at the top are involved with certain cults. Although I will still be isolated and helpless by then, at least I will have a weapon to fight back. "

The expression Jim looked at Wang Ying couldn't be more real.

"If that's the case, then tell me more truth and I can help you find it at the Public Security Bureau..."

Obviously, Wang Ying was a little shaken when she heard this.

"This case is so involved that I don't know who else to trust besides you."

Jim, on the other hand, blocked her subsequent suggestions directly.

Wang Ying was silent for a long time, and then said:

"What else do you need my help with?"

Jim took out a black memory from the brain-computer interface.

"There are some printing permissions for adjustment and transformation inside, which are priceless...don't ask me where I got this. After that, I will ask Donata to contact the 'Tenth Floor' who used to do prosthetic business with their family. The upper class person', said that she would sell these things to him at a low price so that she could collect enough money to leave Nord. When the transaction began, the detectives from the Public Security Bureau suddenly descended from the sky.

"But the detective didn't want to report it. Instead, she wanted to keep the printing rights for herself. So she coerced the prosthetic dealer to take us to the 'Lighthouse' for adjustments and transformation. This is normal. In their eyes, the police of the Public Security Bureau Tandu’s virtue..."

"I understand, in other words..."

Wang Ying nodded and interrupted, and then the two of them said at the same time:

"Fishing law enforcement."

"Fairy jump."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ying rolled her eyes at Jim, curled her lips and said:

"Is it still called Immortal Dance if you have an official background?" (End of this chapter)
