The night wind pushed down the mountains full of dry grass.
In the countryside, you can’t see the stars when you look up.
"The 10th District Executive Bureau needs to be cleaned up. It's not a good sign to occupy a position and do nothing."
Lu Wen was walking on the mountain road at night, and the soil under his feet was relatively soft.
"Is it because of the investigation?" Wei Boyan asked.
"Yes, that aunt has been asked twice before me, but no one got any useful information. Do you know why?"
"Because you have money?"
"No, because they don't have any intention, it's just a formality."
Executive board status is easy to obtain.
If you take the initiative to join, you need to conduct a background and academic investigation, and then a physical fitness assessment. After passing all departments, you can become an intern.
There is another kind.
Recommended by senior executives, usually second-level senior executives or above.
For example, Lu Wen was recommended by Xia Chuluo. Many of the review procedures were just a formality and he joined the company directly on the same day.
"I found that many young executives in District 10 are inexperienced. If they take off their uniforms, they are no different from ordinary people. Are they all recommended by the old people?"
"You also know that District 10 has always been said to be a good place to retire..."
Wei Boyan kicked the gravel on the mountain road with a look of helplessness on his face.
"You can apply to transfer a group of people who are about to retire from the military, or activate more androids."
"Everyone who has retired from the army knows that the Tenth District cannot help him. If he wants to go to other districts, he has to go to other districts. As for the androids... Vasily has always been there in the past. He is the best hunter."
"Is his new body almost ready?"
"It's almost time. The Xinhong branch is working overtime to make it."
The back of the house where the murder occurred.
It is a very short mountain, and you can walk up the mountain road to the top in more than 20 minutes.
The darkness makes the mountains and forests at night look even more ferocious.
Strands of flashlight light intertwined in various places on the low mountain.
Find someone.
The nighttime search lasted more than an hour.
The ambulances Lu Wen notified in advance were almost here.
"found it."
As the voice came out of the public channel.
Everyone rushed to the mountainside.
A very secret place.
Weeds and dead vines cover the sloping mountains.
No one passes this place on weekdays. The farmland is abandoned and weeds have submerged the original road.
"Bah..."
Lu Wen waved the short knife that popped out of his right arm and cut away the grass and vines blocking the road.
The entrance to the cave is under the withered vines.
Boards of various sizes sealed the hole, and there was a rusty iron rope.
"Ding-"
Lu Wen cut the iron rope with one knife.
As the most expensive android on site, it would be more appropriate for him to enter this unknown cave.
If something happens to him, he has a better chance of surviving than other androids.
Remove those boards one by one.
The dark hole.
Just enough to go in with your body hunched over.
"There was a stink, a mix of flavors."
Wei Boyan leaned over and said.
A beam of light shot out from the strong flashlight in his hand, illuminating the small black world.
Rusty iron chains.
Dirty job.
Tattered clothes.
…
Twenty minutes later, Lu Wen carried the skinny body into the ambulance.
Very light and skinny.
Looking at the ambulance going away, Lu Wen kept thinking of those dead eyes.
Years of imprisonment have turned the beautiful girl into a living corpse.
"I checked the missing persons files from ten years ago. There is no information about her in my database. It may be that her appearance has changed too much and the facial recognition system has failed."
Facial recognition rarely fails.
The last time it failed was not long ago, when I was chasing Luo Ruyan.
Luo Ruyan walked out of the mall and put on makeup, but the system didn't recognize it. It all depended on Lu Wen's eyes.
Lu Wen sat on the big rock at the entrance of the village, looking up at the gray sky.
This matter is not over yet.
Countless stakeholders, a bloody industrial chain.
The death penalty in this world has long been abolished. Jiang Xiaonian killed several innocent Li Jian and was only sentenced to life imprisonment.
But Lu Wen suddenly hoped that the death penalty could be reinstated and send those who trafficked in his own kind to hell one by one.
"You have only turned on the computer for less than a month. It is normal to feel uncomfortable when you see this kind of thing. Jiang Xiaonian may have sent you some information, but you have not seen it with your own eyes."
Wei Boyan sat aside, waiting for news about the missing persons.
"The information Jiang Xiaonian passed to me is actually from Central City."
"Oh? Does he also want to knock down the floating city above Central City?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I have read his information. A pretentious person like him will set many goals for himself. Among these goals, the Floating City must be one... Countless people have claimed to take down the Floating City."
Among those people was Xia Chuluo's father.
Some people think that Xia Zheng may be the only one among those people who truly has the strength to bring down the floating city.
"Have you been to the Floating City?" Lu Wen asked.
"No, I have been in Mowu City all my life, but I have heard a lot about it." Wei Boyan said: "Over there in the central city, the earth and the sky are two worlds. The people in the sky control the people on the earth with absolute rule."
Lu Wen remembered what Duan Tiannan said to him.
Said those in the sky wanted to become some kind of symbol, a legendary god.
Those people have been suppressing the development of science and technology and using bionic people to guide people's attention.
In various cities, they proposed to cut the welfare of the bottom class, make the bottom class become the bottom class forever, let the bottom class lose the opportunity to acquire knowledge, and then annex the people of the upper class little by little.
What they want are slaves who live on the ground, not people who are always thinking about climbing up.
“When people become truly ignorant, they believe in the existence of gods in this world.”
This world only needs a floating city.
The old guys in the Supreme Council were sitting in the high hall, looking down at the nine cities on the ground, like looking at a group of busy ants.
"There's news." Wei Boyan said suddenly.
"What did they say over there?" Lu Wen asked.
"The identities matched up. The little girl who disappeared ten years ago was investigated for a while, but in the end due to the lack of cooperation of the little girl's parents, no valuable clues were obtained, and the matter was dropped."
"Why don't you cooperate?"
"superstitious."
The old man over there said that your girl was taken away by the river god in the river.
It just so happens that the parents are quite superstitious about this.
Back then, he had been interfering with the progress of investigators and even deliberately gave some wrong clues.
"River God..."
There are such stupid parents in the world.
No matter what god he is, if he sends a few materialistic missiles, he will have to kneel down.
"I didn't expect that there is still superstition in this era, and disappearance cases are regarded as supernatural events." Wei Boyan sighed.
"There is no need to believe in supernatural evil forces. Human beings can do any evil thing." Lu Wen looked into the distance.
"Joseph Condra said that?"
"right."
