Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

7:03 pm

Located on the middle street, two people were fighting together. Neither of them wanted to give in to the other. Their scalps were already bleeding. No one around them tried to pull them away. After all, it would be troublesome if they were injured or someone else among them was injured. , they are all waiting for the people from the business department to come over.

Nowadays, most of the people in Section 5 have been moved to the lower levels. The number of Section 5 personnel in the middle and upper levels has been reduced a lot, and they can only barely maintain 24-hour patrols on the streets.

It had been 10 minutes, and the two of them still looked angry. Although they looked tired, they continued to fight, and they kept yelling at each other during the process.

Whoosh

A flash of red light fell instantly. Just when the two men were about to continue their attack, they were lifted directly into the air. For a moment, the crowd screamed. Niya looked at the two of them angrily, biting her cigarette and glaring fiercely. glanced at the two of them.

The two of them suddenly woke up and showed fear. After a while, everyone from Section 5 came over, and Niya let them go.

"Keep fighting. I will be here today to watch you fight. Let's do it."

The two of them lowered their heads with bruises and swollen faces. After a while, Niya threw away the cigarette butt in her hand and asked angrily.

"Tell me what happened."

The two looked at each other, and the squad leader angrily brought people over and handcuffed the two of them directly.

The two of them chatted for a long time before starting to talk. It was just a problem caused by queuing in the mall. Today there was a large-scale event in the mall on the street. After the two of them purchased something, they both received raffle tickets. Then the two people took the lottery tickets to redeem them in the lottery. As a result, the two people in different queues actually drew the same product.

But there was only one product, worth more than 5,000 yuan. Finally, after negotiation in the supermarket, the two played guessing games. As a result, one of the men won, while the other man was not convinced. He went to the supermarket to argue, but there was only one product, and the man did not Method.

Afterwards, the two of them had a dispute over the guessing game. They started to quarrel and finally got into a fight.

"Just for this little thing? Are you willing to admit defeat? Didn't you agree to the guessing game? Why did you regret it after losing?"

muttered the defeated man.

"He, he cheated."

"Where's the evidence?"

The man said that during the guessing game, the opponent deliberately slowed down and hurriedly moved out after seeing his own move. This was simply cheating.

"Then why didn't you say anything then?"

"I said it, but at the time he and the people around me said I was a swindler. In the end I didn't say anything more, but when I came out I couldn't get angry."

Niya looked at the two of them angrily.

"Let's go and adjust the monitoring."

The two of them followed Niya into the supermarket. The supermarket owner hurried down and Niya looked at him angrily.

"Since it's a lottery and both of them have won, what does it mean that there is only one product? If you don't do it next time, don't do it."

The boss hurriedly offered to give the same product to another person.

"Don't hold any events in your mall anymore. I'll get angry just looking at you. Go away. I don't have time to talk to you."

The boss stood aside tremblingly, not daring to say anything.

The surveillance camera was quickly called up, and it turned out that just as the losing man said, the winning man had cheated. When he shouted 123, he deliberately slowed down by half a beat.

"I've beaten you. Now I'll give you another chance to guess the game. Hurry up."

The two men were freed from handcuffs. They looked at each other, clenched their fists, and then started guessing again. The man who lost before won this time, and he seemed a little happy. The next treatment of the two men was... Big problem.

"First, he will be detained for 15 days, fined 2,000, and then the neighborhood will be cleaned for half a year."

Niya said as the two were taken away. Niya looked at the light and shadow screen. This is Area 34. More than 10 cases have occurred tonight. They were all caused by trivial things. At this time, the boss Come closer.

"Lord Niya, listen to me, it is impossible for two people to win the lottery at the same time."

The boss stood next to Niya in fear. Niya put away her angry face and immediately asked the boss to take her to see it.

All shopping mall lottery prizes are determined early in the morning. There is no situation where two people will win the two grand prizes. In the past, shopping malls liked to use trays for activities, and ordinary consumers could not win anything.

Niya has dealt with this kind of behavior a few years ago. Now no one dares to ask for excuses when doing activities. Once discovered, it will violate the law. It is a serious crime of fraud and will directly revoke the business qualification.

The lottery is controlled by the system and is randomly set. Niya called people from the 5-tech technical department. After looking at it, she can confirm that the merchant did not cheat. However, when the system was random, the same error occurred. Two grand prizes, this is very puzzling.

Niya looked at the program numbers suspiciously, and then glanced at the monitor. She obviously felt something was wrong, because the common denominator of several accidents tonight was the program system.

It's just that Niya didn't plan to conduct a large-scale investigation, but turned around and left directly, dialing Mo Xiaolan's number.

"I don't have time to drink with you."

"Really, do you think I'm just looking for you to drink?"

Mo Xiaolan chuckled, and Niya directly asked her to wait in Section 2, and she would go there in person.

From bottom to top, there have been hundreds of such problems caused by disputes and frictions in the entire city. Some stores and even some companies have been directly implicated.

It was such a busy time that something like this happened. Niya felt that it was not a coincidence, because she had noticed before that when the Hillman family used AI to commit crimes, there seemed to be no connection at all. The cases eventually piled up and led to even bigger cases, which eventually led to the direct collapse of the city.

Niya didn't plan to talk about this matter to Mo Xiaolan on the phone, but planned to say it in an environment without any surveillance, because Niya always felt that if anyone really wanted to be detrimental to the city, in terms of human power , it is difficult to create accidents so accurately.

Although wise men have secretly controlled many things in the past, it was during the vacuum period after the collapse of the city and the era of extremely bad economic conditions that they were able to manipulate many people to cause accidents and then carry out criminal activities.

Niya did not drive the lift, but jumped directly from the roof, which was faster.

Before 8 o'clock, Niya was already standing at the door of Department 2. After the small door opened wide, R stood behind.

"You're here Nya."

"Hey, long time no see."

After Niya walked in, she took a look at the dozens of new members of Section 2 who were still training so late at night. Ji Mo's daughter Ji Qing was also among them. Niya looked at them for a while and then R spoke.

"Now there are less than 300 people in Section 2, and everyone else has been mobilized."

"After a while, when the problem is solved and all the rioters are found, everything will be fine."

Niya then went directly upstairs. Mo Xiaolan was dealing with some things in the room. Niya sat down and said.

"I haven't eaten yet. Get me some good food. I want a drink."

Mo Xiaolan raised her head and saw Niya staring at the surveillance camera, she smiled.

"Don't worry, Division 2 has completely cut off all networks. Without the network, the only way to invade the network is through physical means, but obviously this is impossible."

Niya breathed a sigh of relief and directly talked about some of the accidents that happened tonight and her various conjectures. Mo Xiaolan glanced at some of the stored cases on Niya's light and shadow screen, and then spoke.

"Indeed, such a large-scale problem does not seem to be a coincidence. It is just that there is no way to find clues. It is a big problem."

"I think this may have been done by AI."

Mo Xiaolan laughed.

"AI? Although I think so too, there are too many uncertainties at present. If the enemy finds a way to act in secret without being discovered, it will be very difficult for us to crack these methods unless we can There is a certain point that is directly exposed, otherwise, we can only wait and see what happens.”

Niya leaned back comfortably. She wanted to rest for two hours before going back to the office. She has become more and more irritable these days because there are more and more things going on, and the number of people in the 5th department is also seriously insufficient, especially at the bottom level. The situation is worrying.

"Let's have a nice drink after this time. I have something very important to ask those guys later."

Niya looked at the dishes that had been served and a large bottle of wine. She unscrewed the bottle and started drinking. She looked at Mo Xiaolan suspiciously. Mo Xiaolan didn't seem to want to mention this to her.

"What is it and is it so important?"

"It's an important thing anyway."

At this time, R walked in. After walking over, he took over the affairs of Section 2 on behalf of Mo Xiaolan. Niya quickly drank the wine, and then wolfed down the food. Mo Xiaolan frowned slightly, she knew that Niya What do you want to do?

"You'd better not go with me."

"Is there anything you can't let me know?"

Mo Xiaolan hesitated for a while and finally sighed.

"We'll talk while walking, and when we're done, we'll go directly to the Congress."

After Niya ate everything, she patted her belly and stood up, pushing Mo Xiaolan and leaving Section 2.

The two of them walked on the street without avoiding the eyes of the people around them, and walked directly towards District 1.

Along the way, Mo Xiaolan talked about her findings and the mysterious X. This guy had appeared many times, and the gods seemed to know this X, but they always refused to say anything, so Mo Xiaolan had to Ask clearly about X.

She contacted Tang Rao early this morning, and Tang Rao asked her to go to the Congress Hall in the evening.

When it was approaching 9 o'clock, Niya carried Mo Xiaolan to the door of the Congress Hall. The door slowly opened, and Tang Rao stood in front of the two of them.

"Why did Niya follow?"

Tang Rao looked at Niya suspiciously, and Niya waved her hand directly and walked in. Tang Rao covered his nose with one hand.

"Bring some wine, let's go sit in the garden and eat and talk."

A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the Central Park of the Congress Hall and set up a room in the forest. Niya went to the freezer to get some meat, vegetables and wine, and started cooking directly.

Mo Xiaolan looked at Tang Rao with a serious expression, always waiting for her to speak. After all, the matter of X was very crucial. It was obvious that the gods knew this guy.

"Indeed, we know X."

Mo Xiaolan smiled, and Tang Rao sighed helplessly.

"Among us, I am the guy who knows X best. That guy Li Chu used to be a puppet hacker under X."

Niya came over with three pieces of fried steak. After sitting down, she rested her chin on her hands and looked at Tang Rao.

"Tell me, no matter what, just tell us directly. This X has appeared many times."

The latest appearance was reported by three people in charge of Sanlian Company. A guy who called himself X gave them a formula for liquid food. This formula accelerated their company's liquid food production by at least ten times. The result is that these harmful liquid foods are causing the current medical system to collapse.

This is something Mo Xiaolan must figure out now. If this X is really known to the gods and lives in the same era as them, Mo Xiaolan can make some arrangements accordingly. .

"How to put it, I don't know when to start."

Mo Xiaolan realized that Tang Rao's eyes were moving slightly, and realized that she wanted to hide something. It should be her past, a past that Tang Rao was reluctant to mention.

"Just tell me what kind of guy X is."

"He is a genius, a pioneer of cloning in the 20th century. He survived into the 21st century by cloning himself again and again."

Niya thought of something.

"It's true that the cloning technology of those rioters is very good, isn't it!"

Mo Xiaolan opened a light and shadow screen and started recording. Tang Rao seemed to be still thinking about which part to start with.

"He once single-handedly established a neutral organization called the Science and Technology Seminar in the world, and the asteroid landing plan that affected all mankind in the past was also initiated by him. In the end, X passed through his clones Legion, influenced and interfered with the affairs of most countries in the world, and finally promoted the consensus of all mankind, brought together the world's top scientists, and promoted the asteroid landing. The tragedy began at that time. In just seven days, what happened I thought it would be a terrible thing."

After listening to this, Mo Xiaolan understood that the so-called tragic thing was nothing more than that X planned something in order to get something on the asteroid, and he didn't want to give it to anyone else. In the end, everyone was on the asteroid. A fight breaks out on the asteroid.

All tragedies are ultimately caused by the human heart. I am afraid that X, who dominates everything, did not expect such a result.

"Any more?"

Tang Rao nodded and continued talking. She had investigated everything about X, and when she finally landed on the asteroid, she learned a more detailed and complete story about X's past from Li Chu, when he was still alive.
