Enforcer's Handbook

November 9, 2166, 02:41.

Oberna-Lionheart, rescue failed and died.

The cause of death was massive internal bleeding and damage to a large number of organs.

In fact, when the rescuers arrived after hearing the news, Oberna had no vital signs, and subsequent rescue efforts were just a symbolic formality.

No one knows why the four-star rescuer climbed to the rooftop of the Tesla Technology Building in the dead of night and jumped from the top.

But the prosthetist diagnosed some interesting results.

Before his death, Oberna's prosthetic body experienced extensive malfunctions. This was caused by overheating of the prosthetic body. His whole body seemed to be on fire. It seemed that someone had installed some kind of virus in his operating system. But from a technical perspective, they couldn't figure out how hackers could break through Lionheart Technology's firewall.

They couldn't understand why Oberna not only didn't come to the prosthetic hospital for help when his prosthetic body was extensively damaged, but instead climbed to the roof of the Tesla Technology Building alone after suffering burns and jumped from it. And down.

Lionheart Military Industry quickly blocked the news.

They showed amazing work efficiency. Before dawn, the transport team coming from the core area brought this expensive body back.

Law enforcement agencies have temporarily classified the accident as an accident, but anyone with a discerning eye knows what must have happened last night.

Especially the day before Oberna's death, the existence of the void was confirmed to the public.

It's those monsters from the void.

His death became the most favorable evidence, otherwise no one in this border town would be able to kill a four-star rescuer in this way.

After transporting the body back to the core area, Lionheart Military Industry obtained the information that Oberna had preserved as he wished.

What was implanted in his body was a virus called the Bionic Man, which was characterized by altered cognition. Oberner firmly believed that the virus was transmitted to him by some kind of creature in the void called a "doll." .

At this point, Oberner inherited the legacy of the "enthusiastic citizen". At the end of the record, he still did not forget to emphasize "don't be touched by them", and he used himself as an experimental subject to prove this "bionic The impact of "human" viruses on people.

But perhaps Oberna never had the chance to know that his body was not assimilated by the androids as he imagined. Technically speaking, the virus only got into his cognitive system and burned out his brain. The prosthetic body allowed him to see a foggy staircase on the roof of Tesla Technology that did not exist in reality.

From the notes left by Oberna, the medical staff of Lionheart Military Industry learned the reason why he jumped from the roof of the building.

For them, there is only one last question left.

Is the last sticky note left by Oberna a reality or an illusion?

"king"

"The source of free will in artificial intelligence." 』

"Six eyes, a shadow big enough to cover the seventeenth district. 』

"You will hear its whisper. 』

"*But don't believe it*"

『*Never, never believe it! *』

The medical staff were convinced that when Oberna wrote this, he was in reality, and it was the android virus that distorted his thinking.

But if the void does not exist, how to explain his previous two attacks?

Who gave him the virus?

The only clue pointed to the lost backup chip of the "Archon", but Oberner did not mention it in these records.

All doubts about the "King" ultimately lead to the same question - was the void Oberna saw an hallucination caused by the influence of the virus, or did the virus really allow him to enter the world of the void?

As they continued along this line of discussion, they were surprised to find that both possibilities seemed plausible, and supporters of each side could find arguments to support their arguments.

They quickly realized that not to mention Oberna who was infected by the android virus, even those of them who looked at the note from an objective perspective could not be absolutely sure which section was void and which section was reality.

…

On the other side, when the sky turned white, Bai Zhu completed the final part of the work.

She looked at the "Archon" backup chip placed in front of her desk, secretly lost in thought.

This chip was recovered by Lu Xiang when he sent Oberna's body to the prosthetic hospital.

Set a virus in the chip, and when Oberner inserts the chip back into his head, the virus inside will start working.

Then there are operations that affect cognition and overheat the prosthetic body.

Anyone with a superficial understanding of hacking could do it, but it drove a coalition government four-star rescuer step by step toward madness.

What the coalition government and Lionheart Military Industries didn't know was that Oberna was still alive.

in a unique way,

With a unique identity,

Exists in a delicate and compact chip.

There, there are people waiting for him, and his exploration of the void is continuing in a virtual world composed of data.

There is still a long time left for him, and even in the void, the concept of time is no longer important.

Perhaps latecomers can still see Oberna's name and discover the mark he left in the "void".

In 2166, human consciousness does not necessarily need to rely on the physical body to survive. In fact, their exploration of consciousness is in its infancy.

"finished?"

Someone walked into this office.

"finished."

Bai Zhu turned over and gave the other party a positive reply.

The visitor was wearing a white coat like her, which was the uniform that researchers were accustomed to.

Because she joined earlier, Madele became the person in charge of this underground research facility. At this moment, she held the chip carrying Oberna's consciousness in her hand and looked at it carefully.

"Obanna's consciousness is stored in this chip?"

"Maybe."

Transferring consciousness into a chip is a technology that company managers only dream of. As long as it is used properly, it can even break through the boundaries of lifespan and achieve true immortality.

"What a terrible technology."

Madele sighed, "You have more and more potential to become the villain in the movie. I have already thought about the beginning of the script. A mad scientist invented the technology to store human consciousness in a chip..."

"I think your appearance is more suitable for playing a villain."

Bai Zhu raised her hand and touched Medelle's insect wings. She felt that if the latter were seen by the citizens of District 17, they would be regarded as void creatures without the need for disguise.

"I'm here to inform you that everyone is almost here and the meeting is about to begin."

"Yeah, I'll come."
