Eden of the North.
Heavy machinery plies the roads.
A steel skeleton spreads underground.
The city is growing steadily.
Open up the roads in every underground city and clear the underground space.
"Those underground cities that are really uninhabitable are filled with soil excavated from other places or construction waste generated during construction."
"More than ten years ago, the androids in the north were still scattered. At that time, several leaders of the big android organizations gathered together and wanted to build a city for androids, so they found Constantine... "
"Later Constantine found you again. With the reasonable work of you and tens of millions of androids, Eden quickly took shape. It has been growing for more than ten years and has adopted many human children..."
Lu Wen took A00 through the streets and alleys of this underground city.
They walked across the overpass.
Go through the tunnel.
Walking in the crowd against the current.
During this time, I not only visited Eden, but also visited other underground cities.
Those underground cities are reserved for future population expansion or for accepting androids from other cities, and can also be used as escape exits.
But A00 never recalled anything.
She just nodded from time to time, thoughtfully.
The two of them sat on the railing of the overpass to rest, overlooking the bustling and busy Eden, with people coming and going and bright lights.
A00 gently swayed his two dangling calves, lowering his head and playing with the pink plasticine in his hand.
Lu Wen bought these plasticine when he took her to wander in the northern city. At that time, A00 was no different from a real little girl.
"No. 9, look... does this little clay figurine look like you?"
A00 showed her finished product to Lu Wen.
It was a pink, fist-sized plasticine Lu Wen.
They were pinched so vividly and lifelike that their facial features were exactly the same, but the color was a little off.
"It's very similar."
Lu Wen nodded.
"Look, this big you can also turn into two smaller you... Wait for me."
After A00 finished speaking, he started busy with the work at hand again.
The plasticine Lu Wen was kneaded into a ball by her, and then separated into two large and small balls.
Before long, the two balls of plasticine turned into two pink Lu Wen.
"Look like?"
"picture."
"Here, I'll give you this small one...just keep the big one underground."
A00 handed the small Lu Wen to Lu Wen and kept the big one for himself.
Lu Wen frowned slightly and accepted this little Lu Wen.
He sensed something unusual.
A00 always called him Lu Wen.
Instead of...Nine.
Lu Wen inexplicably thought of his brothers.
No. 1 Wuya has a paranoid personality and is being studied by him and Dr. Jiang. No. 8 Huang Liang went into self-dormant mode and his chip was taken out by Lu Wen.
Of the remaining six, No. 5 is a spoiled brat whose combat prowess is negligible.
No. 3 is interested in cooperating with him.
No. 4 has a violent personality and is programmed in such a way that he has killed countless people in the past few years since it was launched. Today, his head was crushed by Lu Wen's foot. He is destined to be the opposite of Lu Wen.
The remaining No. 6 and No. 7 are somewhat hostile to him. No. 6 is confident and arrogant, while No. 7 is a loser and has never succeeded.
We must find a way to get rid of these guys, and we cannot let them cause destruction in the surface world.
Constantine suddenly sent him a message: "Lu Wen, the city of Kerry in the north just contacted us and said that the nine cities on the ground are preparing to hold a comprehensive meeting to discuss the whereabouts of androids. It will be held after the meeting. Referendum."
"Well, I already know the news." Lu Wen responded.
"How many androids have been transferred to the nine cities now?" Constantine asked.
"Currently, only 47% of the urban bionics have been transferred to no-man's land. The time is too short to transfer more. If the evacuation is too obvious, they will be discovered."
In fact, in the past ten days, people have been posting constantly asking if they have noticed that there are fewer androids on the streets.
These posts have been restricted by Lu Wen.
But after all, this matter cannot be hidden for too long.
Maybe it won't be too long before it's revealed.
Recently, thanks to Lu Wen's brothers who are causing trouble all over the world, instigating urban relations and attracting the attention of most urban residents, Lu Wen has the opportunity to divert more androids.
"The remaining 53% of the bionics can only wait until the meeting is over. I want to see what results they can come up with," Lu Wen said.
"Can you now hack into residents' personal communication devices and quietly investigate their attitudes toward androids?"
"let me try… "
Lu Wen randomly searched millions of residents’ chat records about bionic people.
The results obtained were far from ideal.
Judging from these chat records, less than 20% of the people support the androids.
Most of the people hope to carry out the unfinished destruction order and send the unwanted stray androids on the streets to be destroyed.
"The two companies have not been doing very well recently..."
Many people have submitted refund requests to both companies.
There are also mental losses, financial losses, etc... It seems that all this damage and losses are caused by the two companies.
A large number of low-level employees in these two companies are also facing the crisis of being laid off. If they are laid off voluntarily, they will have to pay part of the expenses.
During this period, the top executives of the two companies met every day and joined forces to find a way out.
They have put dehumanization on the agenda.
…
In Mowu City, everyone was still discussing the meeting schedule when they were suddenly interrupted by a vicious accident.
Homicide case.
This kind of case is very common, and almost anyone who has been in the Enforcement Bureau for a period of time will handle it.
If the person who died was an ordinary person, it would be even more common now.
But it was not ordinary people who died.
"An old couple from Kerry City. They were once city councilors in Kerry City. After retirement, they came to live in Mowu because they didn't like the climate in Kerry City. They have lived in our city for nearly 20 years. Over the past few years, we have witnessed many ups and downs in our city... "
This old couple has used their retirement salary to support many children in Mowu over the years.
Many news media have interviewed them.
The two old people live a simple and simple life, and have always been committed to peace and friendship between the two cities.
When the people of Mowu City and the people of Kerry City were quarreling over the digging of pipelines, the two people once used southern and northern languages to persuade each other on their personal social accounts.
[Early this morning, the heads of two old men were hung in the square in front of the Ninth District Parliament Building... ]
[The scene is so bloody that it is currently blocked]
[Mowu City officials have not yet given any explanation]
[…]
The media will always watch the excitement and never take it too seriously.
Various reports emerged one after another.
Things will definitely get messed up.
"You only have this little guard in the central square of District 9? It was just a silver cross last time, but this time there are two more heads."
"This square is meant for residents to use. Does it still need to be guarded?"
"And the security has been withdrawn in the past few days and replaced by people from the army patrolling. I really want to blame it. Why don't you go ask the people at the headquarters?"
"Stop arguing now. Time is urgent. Come up with any countermeasures first."
“…”
Ever since the android riots, these guys in Mowu City have been quarreling from time to time.
Maybe there are too many things going on.
All a bit sad.
The entire world is at a historical turning point, and many public officials are not ready to shoulder this historical responsibility. In terms of actual capabilities, they are far behind the predecessors who ended the war 80 years ago.
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"So fast?"
"He showed up on his own initiative, and he...how should I say..."
"It feels like there is something wrong with my brain. I keep saying good things to Mowu City..."
Lu Wen was not surprised that the murderer was quickly caught.
He saw everything on the surveillance camera.
At this time, the surveillance video and all information were sent to the Ninth District Executive Bureau.
"The murderer sneaked into the house of two elderly people early this morning, killed the two elderly people in their sleep, and cut off their heads. At about 8 o'clock this morning, when there was a large flow of people, he hung two black cloth bags in the center On the statue in the square…”
"The murderer then went to a rice noodle shop not far away to have breakfast, and then returned to the square. At this time, the heads of the two old people had been found..."
Many people gathered at the scene.
There were media reporters and ordinary residents. Adults covered their children's eyes.
"The murderer pushed his way into the crowd and shouted that he had done it."
Suddenly, the entire crowd dispersed.
The onlookers showed fear and retreated far away.
The android riots caused many criminals to escape, and they have not yet been fully captured. They are worried that the murderer may be one of the escaped prisoners.
But the killer just shouted that he meant no harm.
He just couldn't stand those people in Baker City.
"He said he was doing this to maintain the dignity of the city of Mauu."
"What kind of brain circuit is this?"
"Looking up this person's disease records, I feel he may have some mental problems."
It didn't take long.
The results are out.
What a mental patient.
Just not serious.
[Delusional disorder]
The clinical features are persistent and systemic delusions.
"Many people have experienced this disease. It was not well-known before. However, in recent years, a 'persecution delusion' has become popular, so more and more people know about this disease, but the murderer is a bit strange..."
Most of these symptoms, victimization, jealousy, suspicion, etc., usually affect the person.
But the murderer... affects the city.
Lu Wen has the most comprehensive information.
"The first onset of the disease occurred when he was very young. The murderer was less than ten years old at the time. He kept saying that monsters were going to attack Mowu City all day long. He ran to the streets at night and shouted for everyone to evacuate."
A child's imagination is understandable.
At that time, the parents just thought it was because they had watched too many monster movies, so they ignored it.
This symptom record was added later when the doctor asked.
"The second time was at the primary school graduation ceremony. The principal was speaking and he suddenly rushed to the podium. At that time, the principal thought the child was going to say something sentimental and farewell."
However, he just shouted that aliens were about to attack Mowu City and asked all the children and parents attending the graduation ceremony to evacuate immediately.
It was just a burst of laughter.
The witty principal reacted quickly and explained with a smile that the child was afraid that everyone would be too sad when everyone said goodbye, so he came to liven up the atmosphere.
After the graduation ceremony, the head teacher found the parents and consulted for a long time, but in the end nothing came of it.
What really made the murderer's parents realize something was wrong was that time in junior high school.
"He has been spreading rumors in the class and even the entire grade, handing out handwritten flyers saying that Baker City, another city in the south, is making big plans against Mauu City, saying that that city will soon launch an all-out war."
The leaflet states information warfare, rocket coverage, seizing air supremacy, steel torrent and other means...
A junior high school student actually knows about information warfare.
Lu Wen had to sigh.
Mental patients are not only happy, but also very focused.
"In the early years, I was obsessed with the delusion that Mowu City was damaged, but in the past few years, through drug treatment and artificial enlightenment, there is no problem anymore."
The murderer had lived like a normal person for several years before this.
But I suddenly got sick again today.
There must be some trigger.
