"Foreigners, you should keep a low profile in this city."
"I think I'm low-key enough."
Regardless of whether you are strong enough or not, being high-profile is synonymous with seeking death in this city.
Live and die, kill and be killed.
It's happening every day.
"Well, after all, the person who killed you, if you can survive a week in this city, I will take you to Dr. Jiang."
"That should be your excuse to get out."
"Am I like the kind of troubled girl who doesn't keep her word?"
“…”
The girl gathered her long dark red hair, took out a round ball from her pocket, and threw it to Lu Wen.
"Now, in a week, you can use this to summon me."
“…”
"What's with that distrustful look on your face? Have you never seen Pokémon?"
Lu Wen reluctantly accepted the little elf ball.
There is no other way to keep entangled like this.
"Surviving a week in this city is a very difficult task. Foreigners, please protect your head at all times." The girl smiled and pushed to the edge of the top floor of the factory step by step.
"By the way, are you from Mowu City?" she asked suddenly.
"right."
"Have you ever heard of an android named Nine?"
"heard about it… "
"Do you know what he looks like? Is he handsome?"
"It's okay, so-so."
"Ha, same-sex jealousy makes you twisted."
"Don't you know what he looks like? There should be a lot of videos about him on the Internet now, especially the one about Yin Long's treasure. The video went viral some time ago."
"Well..." the girl shook her head, "This is Baker City, and the word number nine is a banned word. You can't find it online. Although I can find it with a little more effort, I'm lazy."
"Why is it a forbidden word?"
"The more famous android leaders are all forbidden words. The relationship between the android organization and the city council in Baker City is not as harmonious as that in Mowu City. If it weren't for the mediation by the android councilors this time, the two sides would have fought long ago. Woke up."
"What are you doing with No. 9?"
"Of course there is something very important. Foreigner, just leave it alone and just survive for a week."
The girl smiled slightly and jumped down.
Long dark red hair floats in the night sky.
She was like an elf in the night, quickly disappearing into the depths of the night.
Lu Wen slowly sat on the edge of the factory.
On the map in my mind, a small red dot was flashing.
While climbing on the pipe just now, the mechanical spider fired a tracking chip, which was placed on the sole of the girl's shoe.
During the previous conversation, he deliberately showed a helpless expression to make the girl relax her vigilance.
Make her think everything is under control.
"Living in this city really requires some means."
Lu Wen jumped down lightly.
The girl just revealed a very important news.
The city's council is quite hostile to the androids, and cannot even maintain a semblance of peace.
In the no-man's land outside the two southern cities, the names of many organization leaders are banned words in Baker City and cannot be searched at all.
Lu Wen was worried that his face might be recorded in various executive bureaus in the city.
"You need to get a mask, or... change your skin."
The appearance of No. 9 has always been more artistic.
Lu Wen was going to do a rough skin implant procedure.
Let’s start with the two scars on my face…
…
Night to day.
Over in Mowu City, Xia Chuluo called early in the morning and asked Lu Wen when he would return to the city.
"Your body has arrived. We encountered some problems on the way. It was supposed to arrive in three days. When can you come back and upload your current data to the new body?"
"At noon, I have something else to do here."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Wen drove to the village next door that the aunt mentioned.
After some effort, I finally found the contact information of the young man from back then.
Ask around.
"I did see him begging for food at that time. It was in our area...that...that place. Let me think about it..."
"... I just came out of the station. There is a residential complex under construction in that place. It is very high and has elevator apartments... "
What happened twelve years ago, the young man at that time also became a middle-aged man.
Human memory is always short.
From his vague description, Lu Wen probably knew the specific location.
"I understand. Thank you very much for the clues you provided."
The route is very clear, from this village to a nearby town, then take a long-distance bus.
Arrive at the station.
Then go to the construction site where the young man was working.
Lu Wenbai went through all the routes in his mind.
On the chosen route, a property was still under construction twelve years ago.
The tenth district that was built twelve years ago has been almost fully developed. Everything that can be demolished in the old-fashioned community has been demolished, and everything that can't be demolished by the big bosses has been kept.
It was under construction at the time…
"Longdu Community."
Surrounding this community under construction, there are two completed communities and a middle school.
Lu Wen and Wei Boyan are taking action on both sides.
Wei Bo'an is checking the trends of the nine medical equipments from twelve years ago. Those kind of things are very expensive and are basically out of the reach of ordinary people. If they use them, it means bankrupting the whole family.
"I found out where the second deceased was a homeless man, outside Longdu Community."
"By coincidence, I have a machine here that was deployed to that area more than ten years ago."
The clues matched.
Before the first two deaths, no connection has been seen yet.
But judging from the information given by the murderer, he committed the crime purposefully. There seems to be some connection between the second deceased and the third one who followed.
What Lu Wen and the others have to do is to find the third person before the murderer is ready to take action.
"I'm driving back to the city." He said to Wei Boyan.
"Have a meal for lunch?" Wei Boyan asked.
"Okay, a little later. I have to go back to Xia Chuluo first. She has something going on there."
Time is of the essence.
Lu Wen stepped on the accelerator slowly and hard.
As a bionic man, his reaction speed is extremely fast. Unless he seeks his own death or encounters force majeure, the possibility of a car accident is very small.
At 10:30 in the morning, we returned to District 13.
The location Xia Chuluo gave him was a small garage.
The garage is filled with all kinds of metal parts.
Lu Wen saw the body.
"Why are you so handsome? You can be ordinary so that you don't attract attention. After all, this body will go to Central City with you."
"It's okay to just wear a mask."
Xia Chuluo rolled her eyes at him.
"I originally wanted to go to Bilan to customize one for you, but those guys in Bilan never agreed to take off the bracelet, so... I couldn't get it through formal channels, so I got it from informal channels."
There was someone else in the garage.
more than ten.
They were all favored by Xia Zheng in the past.
"Meet this man, Fatty Jiang, a partial genius. He will be responsible for establishing the connection between your two bodies."
