Enforcer's Handbook

It turns out that Nami is a good and innocent child.

When she learned that her companions were living in dire straits, she immediately used her brains to communicate through Tesla Technology's internal network, and secretly sent an address to Song Lan's mobile phone before lunch break.

This confirmed Song Lan's suspicion and was also the main reason why he revealed the news to Nami.

He guessed that there was some unknown way of communication between androids, which was no different from a circle of friends.

As a person from 2020, Song Lan has always had a strong interest in artificial intelligence. In the era they were in, artificial intelligence was still in its infancy and was far from as smart as it is now. For the development and popularization of this technology The social problems caused by science fiction have always been a topic discussed by science fiction authors.

After asking for leave from Director Lu, Song Lan said goodbye to Nami and rode alone to the location indicated on the text message on her mobile phone. In Nami's words, this place was equivalent to the location of a secret gathering of androids. She hoped that Song Lan should not reveal the existence of this place to the outside world.

It is located in a slum area in the southwest corner. The dilapidated housing area is in sharp contrast with the central downtown area. Before Lu Xiang became the head of the law enforcement department, this was the area with the most serious crime problem in District 17.

Violent robbery, illegal drug trade, arms trade...

For citizens, the only advantage of living here is that the rooms are cheap.

Both house prices and rents are the cheapest in District 17. As long as you pay a protection fee to the local gang and are lucky enough, you can live in this city. Therefore, the southwest corner also gathers a large number of people from the "outside world". "Stowaways from the village to the city.

In the past, Song Lan would never have been willing to come to a place like this alone.

But today is different from the past. The gangs that were originally entrenched in the southwest corner were driven to the suburbs by law enforcement.

Song Lan walked through the rows of houses from the last century and circled the same block several times before she found a road leading to the underground street.

It is said that this underground street used to be the most prosperous commercial street in the southwest corner. In the first few years after the establishment of the 17th District, you could still taste cheap and delicious synthetic food here. However, after the rise of gangs, no one can anymore. The store was opened.

Walking along the out-of-service escalator to the lower level of the street, you will see a depressing scene. Abandoned shops can still be seen on both sides of the street, and homeless people still sleeping in twos and threes are lying inside.

Due to the terrain, the entire underground street was dyed dark blue even though it was broad daylight.

This reminded Song Lan of the first words Nami said to him today.

Be careful with the blue areas.

At least the lucky divination of Nami's program came true today. As soon as Song Lan took a step forward, the homeless homeless people who were still awake were like sharks that smelled the smell of blood. They lifted up their tattered bedding and staggered towards him. Come over.

The dark crowd gave Song Lan the illusion that zombies were sieging the city.

Under the pursuit of "zombie", Song Lan suffered heavy losses.

*『100 watts were lost in battle』

These "zombies" don't bite or catch people, but they will ask you for money, and they also have the status of ordinary citizens.

Under the inducement of 100 Watts, the homeless people pointed out the direction for Song Lan.

The address Nami gave was located deep in the underground street. Most of the numbers and shops here were unrecognizable. If there were no locals to guide him, he could spend a whole day wandering around here.

This area is one of the few places untouched by homeless people. Before setting off, the homeless people specially told him to be careful.

The houses in this area are haunted.

Someone previously claimed that he was attacked by a snake at night. The monster that attacked him had the upper body of a human and the tail of a snake. What was even more frightening was that the eyes of those monsters also glowed at night. It would be very scary to see such a pair of eyes when you wake up.

Looking inside, this place was originally a bar, and it didn't look like anyone was living inside.

"escape! 』

Before you even enter, the writings marked with red paint on the walls add a bit of a scary atmosphere to the place.

The power system of the bar has been disabled long ago, and the light from outside can only illuminate a small area at the door. After entering, both sides are shrouded in darkness.

"Jingle Bell--"

Before Song Lan could move forward, there was a slight noise from behind the bar.

"Leave, leave..."

There were faint whispers in the darkness, and even the temperature dropped a bit.

He didn't follow the advice of the voice, and took a few steps forward, followed the source of the voice to the bar, and bravely poked his head inside.

He saw a short figure running into the backstage of the bar, and along with it was the chuckle of a little girl.

"Boom——!"

The bar's rolling shutter door hit the ground heavily, completely blocking out the light.

Just when Song Lan took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, a black shadow approached him at lightning speed. The pair of amber pupils were particularly conspicuous in the darkness, and the waving snake-tailed eyes came to him immediately. .

"Wait!"

At this critical moment, Song Lan stretched out his left hand. Perhaps because this action that resembled Er Kang intimidated the other party, the attacker really paused for a while, "Nami and I are good friends. The address is what she told us. mine."

As he spoke, the phone's light also illuminated the attacker's face.

There are no ghosts in this abandoned bar, only an "electronic pet" that seems to have escaped.

The last time she visited Tesla Technology, Song Lan had seen this special artificial intelligence in the biological exhibition area, with a human body and a snake's tail, which fully satisfied the habits of some rich people.

He quickly understood why the homeless people mistook the artificial intelligence in front of him for a female ghost - the damaged right half of her face was in sharp contrast to the beautiful appearance on the left, and the part that had lost skin showed... A metal skeleton like a skeleton.

There were clearly visible scratches on her arms, body and even her tail, which made her look like a female ghost in those horror movies who was tortured to death and came to seek her life.

After hearing the name "Nami", the expression on the artificial intelligence's face softened a little. She released the attack mode and said, "Follow me."

The backstage of the bar was so empty that only the shell remained. A strange doll holding a sharp knife was standing at the edge of the pool, staring straight at him.

The doll's eyes flashed with a scary red light.

"Nami mentioned you to me, you are the 'Prophet', right? I'm not a bad person, can you put down the knife and speak?"

The doll stared at Song Lan for a while, and finally put the rusty sharp knife aside.

Song Lan showed his excellent communication skills. Even in this haunted house-like place, facing a doll that was so weird that it looked like it came out of a horror movie, he did not forget his mission here.

He knew that although the doll in front of him looked far away from conventional artificial intelligence, she had a very high status in the "circle of friends" of artificial intelligence.

"Actually, we have a lot in common."

After hearing about the "prophet"'s deeds, Song Lan came up with the idea of ​​coming to meet him for a while.

"Common ground?"

The doll raised his head, as if he didn't understand.

"That's why we often help people who have lost their homes."

Recently, we have been working on electric drills upstairs every day, which has made people a little nervous. I accidentally overslept in the afternoon. I will give you three updates today, and try to do four updates tomorrow!
