Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Who are you?"

Gene was a little confused. The young man in front of him, who looked to be in his twenties, was handsome. The man sitting on the aircraft was very strong. On his left hand was a mechanical device similar to a boxing glove.

Gene looked at the red particles scattered in the air and felt that these were not weapons, but alienated particles of mutants.

"I'm Jamie, don't you remember, Mr. Jean?"

Gene smiled. At this moment, Jamie directly tore off his coat and threw it to Gene. He raised his thick arm, and a red light instantly emitted from the glove-like machine with rows of small holes on his arm. launch out.

In an instant, the red light pierced the bodies of several blue flame humanoids, and they began to be torn apart by the red beam. At this time, the smoke and dust in the city that had just exploded began to dissipate.

Although Jean couldn't see clearly, after the explosion dissipated, a figure appeared in the smoke.

Jamie laughed.

"I'm going to deal with these blue-blooded people first. Hold my coat, Mr. Jean."

Jamie stepped on the aircraft and rushed over in an instant. Gene looked at Jamie's black uniform with the eye-catching number 13 on his chest.

Jean's eyes were solemn. He looked at the door that had disappeared behind him, and then he could only sit down. The sky was full of people who looked like small fighter aircraft. They were undoubtedly people from the business. Jean also saw other people. Science people.

Judging from the weapons they used, they should be some kind of amplifier, which can shoot out the alienated particles produced by the alienated genes of mutants as ammunition.

Jean understands this very well, but now Jean only has the memory of the original Brilliant City on the ground in the past, and the memory of going to the Winter City after he lost his way while looking for supplies.

In eight months, Jean and Tasia experienced many things in Winter City, and finally the Devourer hidden in Vella appeared.

Winter City was destroyed, Jean lost the battle with the Devourer, and when he woke up, he came to this inexplicable desolate world.

However, Jean didn't know what was going on at the scene in front of him. Looking at the shining city floating in the sky and the sun in the distance, Jean didn't know how long it would take to come to the future, but what was certain was that this was not the real thing. future.

Gradually, the blue-blooded people in Jamie's mouth gradually disappeared in the sky, and Gene felt strange.

"What the hell is going on?"

Soon a white halo of light flashed across, Jamie jumped off the aircraft, and then happily extended his hand, Gene took it, Jamie hugged Gene and said.

"Long time no see, Mr. Jean."

Gene asked doubtfully.

"How many years exactly?"

"Half a century."

Gene looked at the young man named Jamie in front of him in astonishment.

"Mr. Jean, when you left Brilliant City, I was just 20 years old."

Gene hummed and said.

"I'm not sure about the current situation, because I may be from other places, and the place where you are may not be real."

Gene said and Jamie smiled.

"Mr. Jean, I will take you to see the current city. Many people will miss you very much."

Jamie smiled and stretched out his hand, and Gene got on the aircraft. He tried to use telekinesis, but there were no alienated particles. The bright city floating in the sky bathed in the sun in front of him was fake.

Gene could only pull Tommy, and Tommy flew the aircraft quickly to Brilliant City with Gene. Gene looked at the houses in Brilliant City solemnly.

Basically, they were all metal houses, and the streets were full of mechanical biochemical modifications, as well as some normal humans. Soon at the edge, Jean smelled a stench, and huge pipes were discharging some waste. Things come out.

The surrounding garbage was floating in the air, and Jean also felt that he had just passed through the dark film. It was this protective film that kept some of the floating garbage in the distance.

Gene asked as he stared at some of the robots working in the factory, who seemed to be as dexterous as humans, while many of the humans were roaming the streets.

"Will Brilliant City look like this after fifty years? Or let's say one hundred years from now."

Jean did some calculations and found out that the floating city in front of him was at least a hundred years away from him.

"What are you talking about Mr. Jean?"

Jamie smiled and pointed to the sun in the distance.

"Because there is the sun. Mr. Jean, where we are now is 50,000 kilometers above the ground."

Gene stared at the sun in the distance, feeling a little weird. He looked at some uniformed members of the administrative department not far away.

"Let's go, Mr. Jean, I'll take you to see the manager. Manager Alpha must miss you very much."

Gene was stunned.

"Yes, she became the steward."

Gene smiled and felt around, and Jamie took out a pack of cigarettes.

"You're looking for this, Mr. Jean."

Gene laughed, lit it and took out a cigarette. Jamie lit it for Gene and then said.

"Now we are just temporarily encountering a little problem. Blue-blooded people reproduce too fast. Such attacks may occur several times a day."

Gene asked.

"What exactly are they?"

Jamie explained.

"They come from AUS, the land where I was born. For some reasons, they have now become our most difficult problem."

Jean hummed, everything in front of him was unknown to him, more false than real.

Jean looked back at the sky behind him. The places farther away were pitch black, and those places could not be illuminated by the sun.

Gene stared at Tommy quietly in front of him. He was still talking about the glorious feats of Brilliant City. Suddenly, Gene stabbed Jamie's chest with one hand. In an instant, Jamie was pierced. His eyes Staring at Jean in astonishment.

But soon followed by a violent shaking, the surface of Jamie's body turned into green, black and white, and a large amount of data was flowing.

"Sure enough, all this is false. I don't know who you are, but what is certain is that you know me."

The city in front of him began to become distorted, and everything began to be digitized. Jean laughed, and then looked to a place not far away. A man wearing a suit and a top hat walked over with a smile on his face.

"Long time no see Mr. Jean."

Eddie bowed slightly and Gene hummed.

"I didn't expect you to survive in this form."

"I have noticed you in this space for a long time, or part of Mr. Jean's memory."

Gene asked as Eddie looked him over.

"How do we get out of this place?"

Eddie shook his head.

"I don't quite know, or I don't quite know how to eliminate your singularity in this virtual world that is almost under my control."

Gene laughed softly. Surrounded by a world of intertwined black, green and white data, Gene scratched his head and said.

"It's unbelievable that you can still stand in front of me even though you are dead, Eddie."

Eddie nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Jean, I am indeed Eddie's personality simulated by gathering the life data of the dead Eddie. And my long-cherished wish is still to be able to stand at the top and control everything."

Gene asked with doubtful eyes.

"When did I come into this world?"

Eddie laughed.

"I don't know about this. In my observation, Mr. Jean, you are like a solid black box. I can't decipher it no matter what method I use. It seems that you came to this world with some kind of mission." ."

Gene asked after Eddie finished.

"The splendid city of the future you just showed me was generated randomly or was it deliberately programmed?"

"It is generated by combining all the data about this world that I have collected so far. It is very scary. In this future, mankind has completely entered the mechanization era, and there are also powerful blue-blooded people as enemies."

Gene asked.

"What are these blue-blooded people?"

Eddie shook his head.

"I don't know about this, Mr. Jean. I only know that the two gods Guyi and Witte went to AUS and brought back unknown humanoid samples."

Gene was confused.

"Why do you know this? If we follow the inference, I should have just left Brilliant City."

Eddie laughed.

"It is true that you have been away for a few months, and the two gods have returned to Brilliant City with the samples. In the future, these blue-blooded talents will be the biggest threat to mankind. As for the Devourer, they have completely fallen asleep."

"What's the meaning?"

Gene asked.

Eddie said.

"According to my long-term data collection and testing, the Devourer may need to be under certain specific conditions to wake up and have power to act on the real world. After these conditions are gradually eliminated, the Devourer will be unable to affect reality. world."

Gene laughed.

"Your words are like a prophecy of the future."

Eddie nodded.

"Because I already have enough data areas to calculate the future."

Gene asked.

"So what happened to Justin?"

Eddie shook his head.

"There is an abnormality in the world today, and this abnormality is you, Mr. Jean."

"Is it because of my relationship that Justin will be gradually devoured by Yuko in reality?"

Eddie nodded.

"You can think so, because now there is only one explanation for Mr. Jean. You are the only singularity in this world."

"Then you plan to use everything in the future brilliant city to pry open my safe and see what's inside, right?"

Eddie nodded and clapped his hands.

"As expected of Mr. Jean, everything can be seen clearly."

Gene laughed.

"It's a pity that I've been here for so long and don't understand what's going on with me."

"Then I can only ask you to continue to stay in this quarantine area. I have now moved you, Mr. Jean, to an area that is completely separated from that world. I hope that Mr. Jean will live well here and don't go back there. Go into the wild world of programmed data.”

Gene nodded.

"Has the mutation in Justin been contained now?"

Eddie nodded.

"It's been contained."

Then with a flash of light, a floating bright city gradually appeared again, and Jamie had no shadow. Eddie threw a set of clothes to Gene.

"Go live in the city."

As he spoke, Eddie disappeared. Gene held the clothes and looked solemnly at the dazzling city in the distance.

1am.

Justin woke up and looked at his hands hurriedly. The doctors and scientists in the research room came over and the green color on Justin's hands had faded.

"how's it going?"

Tommy came over eagerly, and Justin hummed. His eyes were solemn. His body was fine now, and he had returned to normal. But about meeting Gene, Justin didn't know why and didn't want to say anything. Come out.

"What exactly happened to you?"

Justin shook his head.

"I just slept and didn't experience anything."

Tommy stared at Justin suspiciously, and then after chatting with Justin for a while, Tommy returned to the bathroom at home.

"Justin is awake. What has he experienced in the world over there?"

Eddie shook his head.

"Unfortunately, I did not detect Justin's consciousness data."

Tommy was skeptical.

"Really?"

Eddie said with a hum.

"What's wrong? You look so ugly."

Tommy closed his eyes and lit a cigarette and said.

"You feel like you're hiding something from me."

Eddie laughed.

"There are a lot of things I'm hiding from you, just some data in this world, but I've already told you what I should tell you about our cooperation."

Tommy laughed. He still clearly remembered the scene after Justin woke up. He had seen it before going there. At first, Justin's eyes were frightened and he was thinking about something. He seemed to have thought of something.

Tommy came over after him. Although Justin's voice was normal, his eyes betrayed him.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Director Justin."

Eddie's words have no credibility with Tommy anymore. This AI has been deceiving Tommy in order to achieve a certain purpose, and now Tommy has figured it out clearly.

"The mimic is basically completed. When will we start the experiment of injecting the soldier's consciousness?"

Tommy asked and Eddie laughed.

"We have to wait until you are completely finished and make the mimics look like real people."

"Can't you let me see the effect first? Use the method you mentioned to implant the personality of the soldier in Yuko's world into the body of the mimic and make the mimic move."

Eddie hummed.

"Okay, since you want to see it so much, let's start the experiment as soon as possible. It will take a few days."

Tommy nodded and said.

"If we can't make the mimic wake up, then our cooperation will end here, Eddie."

Eddie nodded expressionlessly.

"Of course Tommy, I will let you see the results. After all, the results can dispel your doubts. Don't worry, I will erase the memories of the wild world for these personalities and replace them with the memories of the era you live in. "(End of chapter)
