What Bai Wu didn't know was that everything was converging towards the auction.
The reason why the auction of the Apostles attracted the attention of so many inner city weapons giants was that in a place like the Mechanical City, the impact of technological change was extremely huge.
Although Bai Wu wanted to ignore it and only wanted to go to the core city, he received the same task as Xie Xingzhi, which made him have a guess in his mind.
Zero, everywhere.
Nothing that happened in the entire Mechanical City could be hidden from Zero.
Perhaps from the moment they stepped out of the tower and arrived at the Mechanical City, Zero had already begun to gather their respective destinies through some kind of algorithm.
But Bai Wu still doesn't know what Zero is going to do.
He still has some things to verify about the Lawu virus, and maybe this S-level mission will provide some clues.
After receiving the task, Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi did not delay and immediately set off for Yinhong Community in the eastern city area.
…
…
East urban area.
The biggest difference between the inner city and the outer city is the distribution of wealth.
This is also reflected in the East District. Most of the other districts in the inner city are relatively chaotic, and each district has buildings and companies of various chaebols.
But most of the other urban areas are branches, while the headquarters of each company are in the East Urban Area. On the surface, the East Urban Area has the best security and service industries.
Bai Wu walked along and found that this place was indeed much better than the previous area. He could not see any mechanical beggars.
Although the vehicle no longer looks exaggerated and is not as personalized as other areas, its shape and materials highlight its powerful and stable performance.
Members of the mechanical clan in the East City District no longer gather in street corners every day to plot something.
Many things in this city are automated, but there are also many things that require members of the mechanical clan to operate.
They are the inner city elite. They only occupy 5% of the inner city, but control 90% of the inner city's wealth.
In other urban areas, weapon shops are basically evenly distributed, but in the eastern urban area, the Eye of Kuros is the dominant force here.
Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi went to the Eye of Kuros store to change their weapons.
In the past few days, Bai Wu had cheated a lot of mechanical nobles out of their money. His title as the healer of the Rawu virus had made Bai Wu's worth soar.
He and Xie Xingzhi also only exchanged one set of high-end equipment—
Protective shield, anti-peeping device, peeping device, sensor, sub-ultimate mecha weapon, propulsion device.
According to the feedback from his eyes, these things can be brought back to the tower, so Bai Wu doesn't feel sorry for the contribution points at all.
After all this, Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi became paupers.
But as they walked in the East City District, the two still attracted a lot of people's attention. Although they were still a long way from having top-notch equipment, Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi now seemed to be showing off their wealth.
After all, even the mid-range configuration of the Eye of Kuros is what many mechanical people dream of.
Most citizens, even the rich, would not choose the Eye of Kuros equipment unless they were often exposed to violent conflicts, because the crimes in the inner city mostly occurred in dark corners.
Now Bai Wu's entire body is covered in silver-white mechas, but he doesn't look bloated at all. These mechas wrap around Bai Wu so tightly that it's hard to even feel their weight.
This is the zero-gravity technology that the Eye of Kuros bought at the last auction.
When Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi entered Yinhong Community, they found that it was actually a very high-end community.
The independent mechanical-style villas are spaced in an orderly manner, and many AIs with simple intelligence are tidying up the vegetation around the villas.
This is how the world is, people pursue rare things.
If you see modern buildings in remote areas, it means that the owner of the building is financially strong.
Conversely, seeing a rather retro place with mountains, water, flowers and trees in a highly futuristic place can also illustrate the same problem.
The security guards here are even equipped with Mog Company's medium-level configuration that focuses on close combat suppression style.
After Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi explained the situation, the security guard let them pass when he heard that Bai Wu was the famous Lawu virus therapist.
After the two arrived at Yinhong Community, the task was updated. The content was very simple, telling Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi the house number.
"Do you find it strange that our mission changes in real time? Does this count as being monitored?"
Xie Xingzhi stood outside the fourth villa and was very fond of the arrangement of flowers and plants. Although he was not very clear about the arrangement before the tower, beautiful things always resonate with people.
But this mansion is different from other villas - there is no butler robot.
The mechanical people don't have specific fingerprints, irises or the like, and the password of the combination lock changes at any time, about once every thirty seconds.
The owner of the mansion can grasp the data changes of his mansion in real time.
Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi were trapped outside the door, and the mission was updated again.
A paragraph appeared in the mission information of both of them at the same time.
jke44165214526978, the password to enter the door.
"I'm a little scared to go in. I've been here before, and this is different from my previous experience. No mission is like this, guiding us step by step. And I've never encountered a mission that only we can accept."
Xie Xingzhi was standing outside the door.
Bai Wu began to enter the password, preparing to open the door of the mansion.
Xie Xingzhi continued:
"The mission in the East City District is what everyone in the inner city wants to take. Who doesn't want to get in touch with the rich? But there's something wrong with this mission..."
The door opened, and Bai Wu smiled and said:
"A person whose soul and body need treatment, what are you worried about? As for being monitored, it's normal. You don't think people are free in the mechanical city, do you? As the only native creatures here that are not data carriers, it's normal for us to be watched."
Bai Wu pointed at the huge suspended building in the sky—the core city:
"Maybe there is someone on the edge of this thing spying on us. Since the other party has arranged for us to do this, let's give it a try."
"Are you really not afraid at all?" Xie Xingzhi felt that Bai Wu's way of thinking was quite peculiar.
Bai Wu made an inviting gesture and said:
"This is the inner city, a wealthy area. As you can see, this house is very expensive. The fact that they let us in and are able to monitor our movements in real time shows that they are no small fry."
"It would be easy for such a person to kill us, so I believe it really has a commission and needs our help."
Xie Xingzhi felt that this made sense and felt relieved. But Bai Wu's next words made him feel uneasy again.
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that it's playing tricks on us and wants us to use us as an experiment."
Bai Wu thinks this possibility is actually quite high.
But as he said, fighting with wisdom is always better than fighting with force. He doesn't think he can walk to the core city safely in a black area like the Mechanical City. There will always be a series of tests.
Inside the mansion, Bai Wu saw many decorations in the living room.
First, there is a doll on the sofa, a style that was popular seven hundred years ago.
The moment Bai Wu looked at the doll, he felt something was wrong.
I can tell you one thing, there is no toy store in the mechanical city. The fierce men here are different from Wang Shi, they don't like Barbie dolls. Women don't like them either~ Dolls have other meanings. But you need to wait until the second round to find out the clues.
Second week
As soon as you enter the door, you see someone making puzzles
Bai Wu shook his head and began to observe the living room.
Xie Xingzhi said:
"What are you looking at? I've sensed someone in the house, probably in the bedroom on the second floor."
"No hurry, no hurry. This treatment mission is definitely not easy. I will observe the environment first."
Bai Wu's eyes swept across many places.
But the notes given by the eyes are not as mysterious as those of the dolls. This room always feels like something is missing.
The doll on the sofa had its arms outstretched and was staring blankly at the wall.
It looked like there should be people on either side of it, but there was nothing on the sofa.
Bai Wu followed the doll's empty gaze and found that where the TV should be, there was also nothing there.
You must be looking for a TV, but do the Mechanic need a TV? But then again, the Mechanic don't need toys, so maybe there is a TV here? But maybe you need to wait until the second round to see it.
The mechanical people have their own way of processing information.
Television, Internet information, and various multimedia information no longer require other props. The mechanical core can automatically
But Bai Wu discovered that the decoration of this house was very retro.
His intuition was that there should be a TV here.
There is no toy manufacturer, but there is a doll. The mechanical people do not need televisions or computers, but judging from the information given by the eyes, these things do exist here.
The decoration of the house is very retro.
There was a coffee table in front of the sofa, with a cup of water on it, and Bai Wu squinted his eyes.
Xie Xingzhi suddenly felt that he had never been better because he could conclude that Bai Wu knew some information, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Bai Wu picked up the cup of water and sniffed it.
There are four water cups on the coffee table, and all four cups are different.
One is black, one is pink, one has a bear on it, and one has a cartoon character on it, which looks like Kamen Rider or something.
The black and pink ones are thermos cups, and the one with bear and Kamen Rider printed on it is a glass cup.
Bai Wu smelled the smell of motor oil on the glass of the bear pattern. This was not surprising, after all, the mechanical people drank this.
But the other three cups had no such smell.
"Four cups, a family of four?"
"What do you mean a family of four?" Xie Xingzhi asked.
"It's nothing. You can go check on the patient first. But it's probably in a coma."
Xie Xingzhi really couldn't figure out what was going on, so he simply went to the second floor to see the patient.
Bai Wu was still looking at the four cups on the coffee table.
Water cups, four. But one of them is a traitor, and you have found the traitor. It is recommended to watch it again in the second round.
It's the second week again.
How to play the second game in the real world? This is not a game...
Wait, Bai Wu suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"The scene is very similar to the one seven hundred years ago. Maybe the person who issued this task is trying to tell me something, but these things are not allowed to be mentioned in the Mechanical City?"
"As for the second round, there is no second round in reality, but what if we go to a place that is not reality?"
The other world.
As long as you connect with a person infected with the Lawu virus, you can enter the area where their data and soul are integrated.
But why did Yanjing specifically mention the gaming term "Zhoumu"
Bai Wu was not in a hurry to find the patient. He planned to go to the bathroom to check.
In the bathroom.
Bai Wu saw three towels, three toothbrush cups, and three toothbrushes.
This seems to be different from the conclusion just reached, a family of four.
But he didn't jump to conclusions. In the cabinet under the mirror, Bai Wu found a dirty black rag.
A rag, it was originally very clean, maybe you can see the changes of some things from the clean rag. You must know what I am going to say, right? Congratulations, you have learned how to answer the question.
The eyes naturally say that we have to wait until the second round.
The information provided by the Eye of Prell is indeed sometimes outrageous and incomplete.
But this time Bai Wu felt that maybe his eyes were deliberately concealing something, or maybe some things could not be mentioned in the Mechanical City.
"Bai Wu, come and take a look! Quick! Quick!"
Xie Xingzhi's voice came from the second floor. Bai Wu glanced around, memorized the general scene in his mind, and rushed to the second floor.
There are five rooms on the second floor, a study, a master bedroom and two guest bedrooms.
The target was collapsed in the guest bedroom.
Bai Wu showed a surprised expression when he saw the body of his "employer" in the guest bedroom.
The employer fell to the ground, lying on his side, with the data link port on the back of his neck exposed.
With slender titanium legs, this employer looked very petite for a mechanical person, and many of the mechanical parts on her body had begun to fall off.
It doesn't look like it was forcibly removed by someone, but rather... it fell off by itself.
Different from other mechanical people, she is a big star here. Her name is Jia Kaier. You should go to see her concert a few days ago. The mechanical people fought each other to see those seductive movements driven by her bones up close.
How should I put it? She is really the kind of person who can make the mechanical race's souls fall in love with her. To some extent, she can also be regarded as the inducer of the Rawu virus. Of course, now she is a patient.
It creates a strong desire in people's hearts to possess something, but if the desire would harm the employer, it will be rejected by the mechanical core and part of the emotion will be suppressed.
This is the cause of the Lawu virus. At least this is the case for most of the Lawu virus infected people that Bai Wu has encountered.
To some extent, this mechanical superstar Jia Kaier is indeed a trigger of the Rawu virus.
The most maddening thing is to be unable to get the love you want.
"Remember the superstar Jia Kai'er mentioned on the radio when we first came to the Mechanical City? That's her, but I can't figure out why she is the auctioneer?"
Xie Xingzhi had no idea that this was Jia Kaier.
"I've heard of this person... She's a big star in the Mechanical Tribe. She's good at singing and dancing, and is very popular among the Mechanical Tribe members. Maybe because she's so well-known, asking her to be an auctioneer can help liven up the atmosphere?"
Xie Xingzhi continued:
"That's not important. What's important is that she's mutating."
"Mutations?"
"Look at her back... It's not an organism."
There were bulges on Jiakai'er's back, as if wings were growing out of it, but these bulges were not from the body of a mechanical race... they were flesh and blood.
If she continues to mutate, Jiakaier might grow a pair of non-mechanical wings.
"The severe symptoms of the Lau virus infection... have entered a mutated state." Bai Wu immediately determined the problem.
But there was doubt in his eyes, and Jia Kaier's symptoms made him a little confused.
Xie Xingzhi said:
"No wonder there are so many mechanical parts around her... But how can I fix it? I have never seen such a case before. Why do I feel like she is turning into a 'protist'?"
"Thank you, brother. Please protect me. I will connect with her first."
Xie Xingzhi said:
"She has already started to mutate. Are you sure you want to link her? The difficulty of the S-level mission may be more difficult than we expected. Although the mechanical race has souls, their bodies are absolutely mechanical. But look at her... She is a real half-machine and half-flesh body."
Bai Wu said:
"I underestimated the Rawu virus before. If I want to truly understand the origin of this virus, I can't miss this mission. We can't avoid this mission. The person who issued the mission is probably much higher-level than you think."
"Protect me well. Even if you can't cure Jia Kai'er, you have to make sure no one interrupts the connection between me and her."
As he spoke, Bai Wu inserted his fingers into the five joints on the back of Jia Kaier's neck.
Bai Wu originally thought that he would enter an unknown scene just like when he treated other patients.
But he only felt his consciousness tremble, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was still here—
In the guest bedroom of the mansion of mechanical superstar Jia Kaier.
Jia Kaier was still unconscious, but Xie Xingzhi was gone.
Welcome to the first week. Although this scene is the same as what you see in reality, this is not reality.
Find more clues, unlock a certain ending, we will enter the second round, find more clues, unlock a certain ending, we will enter the third round. Of course, you cannot leave this area before you find the correct answer.
The good news is that you may get an unimaginable super thigh. The bad news is that you will completely offend another super thigh.
By the way, due to the away game, the God of War Ayan may be offline occasionally, but I'm not a coward, I'm just retreating tactically.
