Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

squeak

A faint beam of light penetrated into the dark basement from the crack in the door, and then a hand wearing black gloves stretched out from the crack in the door.

"How does it feel Hathaway!"

A heavy and mechanical sound came, as if it was coming from a recording device.

There was a flash of purple-black light, a man wearing a black hoodie, a black mask, a pair of black Martin boots, and black baggy pants. There was a red X on the mask.

The man stretched out his hand and pressed it to the left, and the room lit up.

"Why don't you turn on the light!"

A secret room of less than 10 square meters. There is a small cubicle on the left side with a toilet and shower facilities. On a small bed in the front right corner, a naked woman is sitting, wearing a fixed brace in her mouth. The upper and lower teeth are fixed by braces, and only the tongue can move. The braces are a machine fixed on the head. There is a black metal collar around the woman's neck.

snap

A can of liquid food was placed on the small table next to the bed. The woman had blond hair and blue eyes, but her face was pale and her figure was thin.

"It's time to eat Hathaway."

The man said and put his hand on the back of Hathaway's hood.

Click

The braces covering the teeth instantly shrank into the horizontal axis, and the man helped Hathaway take off the machine. The woman in front of him was Hathaway, a very beautiful woman, but now she looked haggard and looked exhausted. More than a year of being imprisoned in the dark has caused Hathaway's eyes to lose their luster, leaving only gray.

The man gently stroked Hathaway's dull and bifurcated hair, stretched his head, closed Hathaway's mouth, and kissed Hathaway gently through the mask. Hathaway's eyes did not move at all, but Looking ahead blankly.

Suddenly, the man pulled Hathaway's hair hard, but she remained motionless. The man squeezed Hathaway's body with his other hand, and then stood up with a smile in his eyes after groping for a while.

"You've lost a lot of weight, Hathaway."

As he spoke, the man opened the lid of the liquid food with his fingers, took a spoon, took a spoonful, and put it to Hathaway's mouth, but Hathaway leaned against the wall with a dead look on his face, and the man broke it off. He opened Hathaway's mouth and quickly stuffed a whole can of liquid food into Hathaway's throat. Hathaway coughed and gasped a few times, and the man took one out of his pocket. The tube was inserted into Hathaway's throat, and then some water was poured into Hathaway's stomach from the black water-containing machine at the end of the tube.

The man looked at Hathaway with an even bigger smile as he spoke, then pulled her hair, made her lie down, and climbed up.

Following a moment of shaking, Hathaway just tilted her head and stared at the door, with no look in her eyes. After a while, the man stood up, took Hathaway's face, and stroked it gently.

"We were very passionate about each other before, weren't we? When we first fell in love, what happened now!"

Hathaway weakly forced a smile.

bang bang

The man slapped Hathaway twice unceremoniously.

"New human being! Hathaway, I have already told you not to make small moves, but you turned a deaf ear to my words. That's fine. This brace and the electric shock collar around your neck are all to prevent you from committing suicide. The headgear You're tired of wearing it too, so I'll reluctantly help you pull out your teeth."

As he spoke, the man raised his right hand and took off his black gloves, revealing a pair of hands with fair and tender skin. Hathaway's eyes were moved, and fear began to appear on his face.

crunchy

The fingers of the man's right hand seemed to be broken off one by one, and they were all bent towards the back of the hand. Small pliers appeared on the exposed place of a mechanical hand.

Hathaway shook her head, tears in her eyes.

"There is no response in the face of love, but it is very real in the face of fear. Open your mouth. This is the Hathaway you forced me to do."

Just as Hathaway was about to get up and leave, the man's left hand grabbed her neck and roughly pressed her against the wall. As the man's purple-black eyes emitted a beam of light, a light appeared on the wall. A series of mechanical arms were made, clamping Hathaway's body. The man slowly raised the mechanical hand that already had many tooth extraction tools, and opened Hathaway's mouth with one hand.

Frightened tears began to overflow from Hathaway's eyes. She kept shaking her head and looking at the man pleadingly.

Along with a violent cry, the man's hand forcefully clamped off one of Hathaway's teeth. She whimpered in pain, with only sobs choking in her throat and unable to make a sound.

The man held Hathaway's hair with a smile in his eyes.

"The second one is about to start. Don't worry. In an era where you can live on only liquid food, teeth are the most useless things."

The robotic hand was put into Hathaway's mouth little by little. She whimpered, but at this time the man stopped.

"How many new humans' cryptic codes did you send?"

Hathaway nodded, tears falling heavily from her cheeks. The man let go of Hathaway and pressed Hathaway's hair gently and comfortingly.

Hathaway is still crying.

"300"

"We're a lot smarter than you, Hathaway, and it looks like we're going to have to pull out all your teeth tonight."

Hathaway screamed in horror and began to struggle violently. However, like a chicken, she was pinched by the man's neck and pushed back onto the machine again.

One, two, three.

Heart-rending screams continued to sound.

"The eighth one."

"10024!"

Hathaway fell softly on the bed, covering her mouth in pain. The man raised his left hand, a beam of purple-black light shot out, and a light and shadow panel appeared.

"source code!"

Hathaway stood up little by little, and on a light and shadow screen with only a black screen and a red border, her fingers deftly entered a large series of complex and unclear numerical symbols.

drop

"Confirm the source code and delete all secret codes about the new humans!"

A mechanical sound came from the light and shadow screen. The man sat next to Hathaway and put his arm around Hathaway's shoulder.

"This is the last kindness I give you, Hathaway. Next time it won't be as simple as pulling out a tooth!"

The man looked over fiercely, and Hathaway knelt down on the bed emotionally.

"I beg you, let me go, I will help you continue to develop AI, me."

"Human words cannot be trusted!"

The man said as he held Hathaway's chin with one hand, while blood was still oozing out.

"By the way, Hathaway, look at this man's information. We need you to help us crack the self-destruct command code on a door."

As the man spoke, he brought up a light and shadow screen, which showed Luo Han's complete information and a live video. Luo Han stood next to a door with dull eyes.

"Moira's destiny code!"

The man looked at Hathaway in disbelief. He immediately laughed and stroked Hathaway's back happily.

"Why do you know?"

"Before. Eight years ago, when I was in the circle, I had seen this kind of fate code that would connect to the database inside the door if the source code was not known and failed to be entered once. It was developed by a genius hacker. I I don’t know who the genius hacker is, I only know that he is very young.”

The man was silent for a moment and squatted in front of Hathaway with a smile.

"Find a way to crack it. Now that you've seen it, you can start. After all, you are also a genius, right?"

As he spoke, the man sat comfortably aside, raised one hand, and pulled the light and shadow screen in front of Hathaway. At this time, a locking program simulating the door of Lohan's home appeared, and Hathaway still tried it.

However, no matter what method Hathaway used, he always self-destructed. The eyes of the man next to him became dull. Hathaway knew that he should have entered a state of self-sleep, but he still watched through the monitoring device connected to the internal core source. Hold yourself.

Hathaway regretted it. She fell in love more than a year ago. The other person had the same strong hobbies as herself and loved the virtual world.

Hathaway, who is just 60 years old this year, is one of the top scientists in the IT industry in the city. This seems to be an innate talent. As early as 30 years ago, the Business Department had approached her to join the 10th Department, but Hathaway Wei refused.

With her own efforts, Hathaway is a woman who invested in Enlu, a large Internet company, with her technical skills. Not only is she smart, she is also top-notch in appearance. There are only flowers and applause in her life.

However, Hathaway has never had feelings for any man. Although she will date some men, they are basically just to satisfy a certain degree of physical needs. Just over a year ago, a man with gentlemanly demeanor, handsome and rich , and a man with the same interests and hobbies as her appeared, that is, X next to her.

The relationship went very smoothly, and the man was able to immerse Hathaway in satisfaction and excitement every night. However, after three months of dating, the man came up with an idea to jointly develop a robot powered by AI.

At the beginning of the period, Hathaway refused because it was illegal and once caught by the criminal department, it would be over. However, both of them were people who had been in the underground hacker world for many years, so Hathaway finally agreed.

The development went very smoothly. The first robot was built with the two people's hard work day and night. Hathaway discovered that the man not only had good IT skills, but also had professional knowledge in physics, biochemistry, etc., an anthropomorphic robot. A state-of-the-art robot was developed, exactly like himself.

Then Hathaway got a pink quantum state AI from the man's hand that he developed himself, and began programming and in-depth development.

However, at the moment of success, he was replaced by Hathaway, who was riding an unknown AI, and he was led to live a life of a prisoner.

"Prometheus!"

Hathaway murmured to himself, as X woke up.

"What's the meaning?"

Hathaway shook her head.
