Enforcer's Handbook

Oberner couldn't remember exactly how he left the apartment and got out onto the street.

But he knew he didn't need a prosthetist.

Compared with the panic when he first came into contact with the void, he now only felt excited, because he knew that everything that happened to him at this moment brought him closer and closer to the truth.

Why does the "doll" in the void want to help him?

Why did those whispers about "towers" creep into his brain?

That's because he has become one of them.

Oberner still remembers that experts in the field of artificial intelligence told them in their first popular science class that in order to promote the efficiency of work and communication between artificial intelligences, they set up a rapid communication mechanism for artificial intelligence.

It is difficult for him to directly describe the specific way this mechanism operates in words, but he can simply think that it is a language that transcends the constraints of time, place and environment, allowing their thoughts to transcend physics at any time. The boundaries are accurately communicated to the other party.

However, the experts are wrong about one thing.

Artificial intelligence may have free will - if he becomes a member of the androids after being infected with the virus, then he will be an android with free will.

His will will never be erased by the android virus, nor will he forget his true identity.

He is a member of the company, and all he has to do now is to reveal the true face of the "King".

Oberna looked down at his hands that were completely bionic. There was no mirror here, so he couldn't judge his current state.

He didn't know if the expression on his face at the moment was joy, anger, or that like the doll he saw in the void, it had completely lost the outline of its facial features and returned to the state before it "left the factory", but these were all unimportant.

He has one final puzzle to solve.

Where is the tower?

The holy place that the "dolls" yearn for, the source of the voices in their heads, and the real answer to the omnic crisis.

After a while, Oberna found the answer in his own body.

On the edge of the back of his left hand, there is a line of inconspicuous marks:

"Tesla Technology."

This is the trademark of Tesla Technology and people see it on various advertisements every day.

Suddenly, Oberna understood everything.

He recalled the description of the Tesla Technology Building by the experts invited on the first day.

It is a tower that carries human technology and the future. Therefore, every Tesla Technology building must become a local landmark. Only in this way can it carry the mission of lighting up the future of mankind.

The fog appeared again, but this time, there was no gentle nurse to remind him of the curfew.

Unknowingly, the mist spread over his ankles, and the coolness from his soul seemed to remind him that there was not much time left. Oberna stood up from the cold steps. This time, he was more determined than ever.

Ever since Gao Yuan's identity was revealed, the Tesla Technology Building in District 17 has come to a standstill. Until the case about the abnormal bionic man is solved, every staff member has been issued a stay-at-home order by the rescue department, waiting for further information. investigation.

This was an order he personally gave.

The majestic tower was empty, allowing his progress to be unimpeded.

The power outage forced him to hike to the top of the building. This should not be considered a big deal for a four-star rescuer with a prosthetic body modification level of 52%, but Oberner realized that his physical strength was declining significantly and he was absolutely unable to do so. Most prosthetics are in a state of malfunction.

At this moment, he was like a climber, challenging the highest mountain he had ever encountered in his life.

Every time he took a step, the chill in his heart became more obvious.

This is a sign of fading sanity.

But he has long been accustomed to this feeling. He has completely adapted to his current body, this fog, and everything he found in the void. Perhaps from a certain perspective, he has become a part of the void - a A void creature called a "doll" by others.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the end of the spiral staircase.

There was a ladder that led up to the dome of the tower.

This is one of the highest places in District 17. When he struggled to lift the barrier and reached the rooftop, Oberna felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

It was as if all negative emotions were blocked on the other side by a closed baffle.

He understood the meaning of the whispers in his mind. This was the edge of reality and void. His sight no longer needed to break through the layers of fog in the night sky, but he could directly and clearly see the shadow that shrouded the entire seventeenth district.

king.

He knew the true identity of the shadow.

There is no longer the fear when we first met. What lingers at this moment is the tranquility from the heart.

It was the feeling of a single individual traveling through mountains and rivers, breaking through layers of obstacles, and finally returning to the group.

This is the truth of the matter.

The abnormal artificial intelligence heard the call from the void, which made them urgently want to leave everything behind and return to the tribe.

This explains everything.

The chattering in his mind stopped, and the king looked at him, as if looking at a tribesman who had been away from the crowd for a long time, or a child.

November 9, 2166, 02:00.

Oberna recorded this special moment. He didn't know whether the timing was a coincidence or fate, but he still recorded the state of his prosthetic body as usual.

The android virus spread throughout the body.

All the prosthetic body values ​​fell into an abnormal state, and most of its functions were disabled, as if it had been attacked by a hacker.

Oberna took out another sticky note and looked up at the shadow in the night sky.

"king".

He carefully observed every detail of the shadow and used all the words he could think of to more accurately convey what he saw at the moment to those who came after him.

At this moment, he thought of the "enthusiastic citizens" and the pioneers who had explored the void.

The "King" just looked down at him kindly, waiting patiently for him to finish considering each word.

Then, a staircase made of mist appeared in front of Oberna.

This is the call from the tribe.

He responded to the call deep in his heart and walked down the stairs.

The accumulated fatigue from climbing the stairs subsided, and Oberna felt that his body was gradually returning to its best condition, back to the more original state before undergoing full-body prosthetic transformation.

At that time, he did not need to endure the side effects of high-level prosthetics, nor did he have to go to Lionheart Military Industries' prosthetic testing department every month for adaptive repair services.

This staircase led him back to the ground. This is the dividing line between void and reality, and may also be the location of the transfer station.

Oberna looked back for the last time, and other "dolls" like him appeared on the originally deserted street.

They looked like they were performing some kind of sacred ritual. They formed a circle and surrounded a broken and twisted "doll" in the center.

He also saw several more "dolls" rushing out from the depths of the mist and passing him by.

The "dolls" seemed to be discussing something, accompanied by the siren of the ambulance.

But these sounds were far away from him, almost negligible.

Oberna stared at the broken doll, and an indescribable emotion emerged in his heart.

He still remembered that in the past few times, whenever his consciousness reached a dead end, he would hear a call from reality to wake him up from the void.

The first time was the one-star rescuers.

The second time was as a nurse in a prosthetic hospital.

The third time was Mo Ling.

The fourth time was a vagrant.

But soon, Oberna found clues.

He still remembers when he was awakened by the homeless not long ago, and he also remembers the seventeenth district that was shrouded in the same fog late last night...

The answer from the bottom of my heart is ready to come out.

Here is reality.
