Overturned Tower

Miriam was actually not panicked.

Before she was caught, the deer-headed statue told her...if she was caught in the Tianen Group, there was no need to panic. Eventually someone will be able to get her out.

So she just bit it and killed it. She was just testing the newly acquired drone.

This excuse actually makes sense. Because she really just got this drone—to be precise, she just got it three days ago.

After pestering my father for a long time, I finally got a drone through legal and reasonable means.

Because her father was a network security engineer for Tianen Group, he directly gave Miriam his retired "Gliding Spider" drone.

——In his opinion, this is actually to save money. After all, my daughter is just playing with it to practice jumping skills.

But in fact, Mirien's father had no idea that his daughter had secretly mastered the "jumping" of various drones before she went to college. The machine she used to practice at that time included her father's machine. It's just that Miriam is very good at pretending to be good, so her father doesn't know about it at all.

She expected at that time that she might be caught... Even if she was not caught at the first time or caught on surveillance, it was not impossible for her to overturn.

So from that moment on, Mirien was prepared to create a reasonable "motive" for herself; she did not dare to use the more advanced drones handed over to her by the Tower of Babel, whose origins she could not explain.

I just got the machine and couldn't bear to take it out to fly around the city - this is very reasonable, right?

As long as there is a suitable and reasonable motive, once you are caught, you can persist until you are fished out. Even the difficulty of being fished out will be greatly reduced.

About four or five hours had passed since she was caught in the morning.

The last round of interrogation had just ended. She was closing her eyes to recuperate, replenish her energy, and began to sort out her thoughts in her mind to avoid self-contradiction in the pile of stories she had just made up... when she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

"Miss Mirien?"

The tall male executive with black dog ears asked politely: "Are you sleepy?

"It has been investigated clearly. It was a misunderstanding... I am very sorry for wasting your time. You can leave now."

"Have you finally figured it out..."

Miriam breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said complainingly: "I haven't had breakfast yet, I'm so hungry..."

Normally, if they were really innocent civilians who were caught, it would be unreal that there would be no complaints at all at this time.

She maintained her disguised identity very carefully.

"Mr. Ultramarine is waiting for you outside."

The executive officer with a dark background said somewhat cautiously: "We didn't use violent interrogation, right?"

"Ah, yes. I know."

Miriam nodded suddenly.

She did not undergo violent interrogation... because she had just been arrested and had not had a meal, and the patience of the execution department had not been worn out yet. We are still in the inquiry stage now.

but……

"Mr. Ultramarine?"

She was a little surprised from the bottom of her heart, followed by a hint of joy.

Could it be that the person the leader said was placed in the Tianen Group was the "hero" Ultramarine?

He is still Miriam’s idol!

"yes."

The black-backed guy replied unconsciously: "Mr. Ultramarine just got off work, and he was called back by Director Dodgson halfway through..."

Director Dodgson?

Miriam's pointed horse ears twitched when she heard a new name.

Director?...

She rolled her eyes without any trace.

How to put it, it's unlikely. At least that's what she felt.

Afterwards, she saw "Ultramarine" not far from the door. He was chatting and laughing with other executives. Ultramarine was undoubtedly the center of the topic, and he did not shy away from the fact that he came here to pick her up. It could be said to be frank.

Just as you imagined!

Mr. Ultramarine is even more handsome than the reporter took the photo!

Miriam's eyes grew brighter.

"Oh, I should go."

"Ultramarine" watched Miriam being brought out and casually joked to the executives around her: "Now I can finally get off work."

"Aren't you going to stay for a meal?"

"No, I have a treat today."

Ultramarine smiled and walked to Miriam: "Let's go, Miss?"

"...I'm not a young lady."

Miriam whispered.

But she was quite happy to be called such by her idol.

After leaving the Executive Department building, he followed Qunqing on the Skytrain in Tianen Park.

She was a little nervous around Ultramarine.

Because Miriam actually wasn’t sure whether “Ultramarine” was from the Tower of Babel. So I didn’t dare to ask anything yet.

However, Ultramarine has been recognized by people immediately.

Even Miriam, who was standing next to him, was cast in surprise, envy, and jealousy.

Miriam grabbed Ultramarine's sleeve with some anxiety and pride. She didn't dare to let go, but she was also embarrassed to touch Ultramarine's body.

That's her idol!

"Get off the bus right here."

Before the Skytrain arrived at the door, Ultramarine suddenly said something to her and got off at a certain station.

Mirien hadn't reacted yet, but she had subconsciously left with Ultramarine.

"Mr. Ultramarine...is there anything you want to tell me?"

She asked in a low voice, testing Ultramarine's identity.

Ultramarine shook her head.

"It's not convenient to talk here."

He replied shortly.

The implication of these words made Miriam feel a little excited and anxious... but on the other hand, she was also inexplicably disappointed.

Is this "pure hero" she admires just a persona...

"Can you turn off the surveillance in that store?"

Ultramarine suddenly stopped and asked Mirien in a low voice.

Miriam looked up and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

——It is an unmanned store open 24 hours a day.

What's special is that the things it sells can only be used by adults...

"It's very simple..."

Mirien whispered, lifting up the sleeve of her left arm - revealing the "Aoi Lily" prosthetic leg of the same style as Ultramarine.

But unlike Ultramarine, twelve of the sixteen interfaces above are already plugged into different chips. They were flashing lights of different colors at different frequencies.

"Don't you need a saucer?"

"No need."

When talking about her professional content, Miriam's tone became more confident: "I hijacked the computers of some merchants and enterprises with low computing power consumption, which can be used as auxiliary computing units."

As she spoke, she was already connected to the shared network in the area.

And through eye positioning, the physical address of the store was determined - and then jumped into the store camera through the surrounding cameras, and immediately made a still picture, and posted a synchronized version of the same model on the originally monitored timer position. The new timer seamlessly fills the picture into the camera.

In this case, she just stopped the camera.

It only took about five or six seconds in total.

"really not bad."

Ultramarine praised and entered the store first.

Being praised by her idol, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, then suppressed her excitement and complacency, and followed Ultramarine step by step.

"Please lock the door."

Ultramarine's voice floated from inside the store.

Although Mirien vaguely noticed something was wrong.

But in her heart, she was even more looking forward to what would happen next.

"Yes, Mr. Ultramarine!"

Her voice trembled slightly - it came from fear, but also from excitement.

But just as she turned back to close the door.

I could only hear the metallic sound of "squeaking" coming from my ears.

Everything in front of me disappeared.

The space she was in suddenly turned into a square dark blue hexahedron.

Then the space suddenly turned a terrifying crimson color - the prosthesis on her left arm, as well as the many electronic devices implanted in her legs and right elbow, all disappeared.

Only the white limbs, as slender and tender as bones, were pulled out from her left arm and occupied the original position of her left arm.

"Are you so sure...that I am really 'ultramarine'?"

A strange and gentle voice came from behind her: "Didn't that little brother tell you that Ultramarine has gone home? Do you think he will come back specially?"

Frightened, Miriam turned around suddenly with fear and horror.

He saw a smiling young man with blue hair and ponytail standing opposite him.

His arms were intact, and his left arm was no longer the "Aoi Lily" prosthesis she was familiar with.

"Don't be afraid."

The young man's gentle voice sounded low.

He stretched out his right index finger and tapped Mirien's forehead at an extremely slow speed.

Then the fingers slowly moved down along the hairline and slowly stopped at the neck.

Mirien didn't dare to move, and swallowed carefully.

The increasingly intense fear made her tremble... Although the other person's spiritual relatives should be birds, she felt like she was being watched by a predator.

"Don't be afraid...I'm not a good person."

The young man smiled, and his fingers began to move slowly laterally again, finally stopping in the middle of Miriam's throat.

A fatal position that could penetrate her delicate neck with just a little force.

"I'm the Barber."

He murmured softly, like a whisper: "First meeting, Z."

Below is the introduction~

This is the best of times. Humanity is once again getting rid of the constraints of gravity. Skyscrapers in metropolitan areas, advertisements on giant electronic screens, and floating cars whizzing by are all part of the new life.

This is paradise. There are no living corpses and ghosts wandering in ancient tunnels outside the circle of civilization. There are no out-of-control machines looking for support targets in the wilderness. There is no destruction and chaos in history. All suffering is a thing of the past.

Welcome to Southern Thailand, this is the best choice for every life to restart their lives.
