…
One day three years later.
A young man with a decadent expression and a stubble on his face sat in a wheelchair and came to the gate of the North American headquarters of Blacklight Technology in the Reston neighborhood of New York City.
His arms were intact, and there were no urine bags or other equipment hanging on his body. He was obviously not a paralyzed patient, but his trouser legs were empty starting from the knee.
Pedro Leon is a young man who has lost both legs.
At this moment, he was sitting in a wheelchair, ignoring the strange looks of people passing by, looking up at the huge building hundreds of meters high in front of him.
This building is a 5A-class office building with a height of about 300 meters and full of modern style. The office building has a total of 101 floors and is a polygonal heterogeneous structure. It has also become a scenic spot in the Reston neighborhood.
On his lap, there was a completed registration application form with the Blackwatch Company logo.
At this time, the huge LED screen on the wall of the building floor was playing various news related to black light technology.
As the last news ended, three figures suddenly appeared on the screen, followed by an impassioned piece of jazz music—
In the background of black and flames, three dark figures stood upright. As the camera zoomed in, their complete faces gradually emerged.
These three people are two white people and one black person. All three of them have their arms folded on their chests, and their faces show extremely high confidence and justice.
At this moment, among the three people, the man standing in position C suddenly spoke: "Severely crack down on any form of crime and resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of every citizen!"
Then, another man with a younger appearance said righteously, "Work hard against the clock. Every second that passes, innocent citizens may lose their lives!"
Finally, the black man continued, "Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!"
"courage!"
"honor!"
"sacrifice!"
The three people spoke one after another, and then the three of them stretched out their hands to overlap each other, and looked at the camera together, "We are the BHB police team. Join us. In order to maintain world peace and protect the personal safety of citizens, Blackwatch will always look forward to your support." join in!"
In the end, the figures of the three dimmed again, but a line of subtitles suddenly appeared on the screen: "Blackwatch Company's Police Department is expanding its recruitment, welcome to come for trial training."
Seeing these three internationally renowned legends, especially the captain, Pedro Leon's eyes showed a touch of coldness and a hint of hatred.
The next moment, the screen changed again, and a girl who looked pretty but slightly stiff appeared on the screen. She faced the camera, made an enthusiastic gesture of spreading her arms, and said at the same time:
"The Xingtian series of household bionic robots are about to enter thousands of households. I am your nanny Xiao Ai. Come and take me home!"
boom!
But before the commercial ended, a wine bottle suddenly flew out and hit the large screen more than ten meters high, making a large hole visible to the naked eye on the LED screen...
Leon was startled by this sudden situation. He couldn't help but look back, only to see a dozen slovenly middle-aged people holding slogans and banners standing behind him, constantly shouting at the Black Light Technology Building. Shouted.
On those banners, written in crooked red paint: "Bionics steal the jobs of the poor", "Bionics are original sin", "God created humans, but not bionics", "Purity of human beings" should not be blasphemed" and other words.
It turned out to be the recent demonstration against Blackwatch's androids...
Pedro Leon shook his head. When he turned around, he saw seven or eight security guards wearing body armor with the black light technology logo, holding batons and anti-riot shields pouring out of the gate and brushing past Leon. He passed by and rushed toward the ragged middle-aged people...
Then, there was a lot of chaos.
Ignoring the commotion behind him, Leon took a deep breath, adjusted his appearance, and pushed the wheel of his wheelchair into the gate of Blackwatch Company's headquarters.
Inside the gate is a vast reception room. Different from traditional office buildings, the lobby of this office building has obviously put a lot of effort into decoration. It has black marble floors, silver decorations that represent high technology, and transparent Furniture made of glass is full of strong post-modernism atmosphere.
Leon swallowed nervously, and slowly came to the front desk. The girl at the front desk immediately showed a smile that could dispel any unpleasantness, "This distinguished guest, I am the bionic receptionist with job number 3199. How can I help you?"
Hearing these words, Leon finally understood the identity of the woman in front of him. He stared at her in amazement for a few times, and then asked tentatively, "Hello, I'm here to apply for a job in Bionics." War police."
With that said, he handed over the registration form in his hand.
Sure enough, the android girl opposite immediately raised her hand and politely took the registration form handed over by Leon.
Through his first observation, Leon keenly discovered that although the movements of the girl in front of him were very smooth, they did not look like real people, because the girl's entire set of movements could be described as orderly and orderly, far from being as agile as real humans.
However, this is already amazing. If you don't pay attention, it would be difficult to tell the difference between humans and androids at the first time.
The girl just looked down and then raised her head again. She smiled happily at Leon, "Dear Mr. Leon, you are welcome to apply for our Blackwatch Company's War Police Department. Our Blackwatch Company has already cooperated with The North American District Police Department has cooperated. Now I will enter your information into the company intranet and the New York City Police Department database. This is your number plate. Now please go to the 2nd floor to register. Remember to queue up... "
With that said, the girl reached out her hand again and handed a silver electronic card to Leon.
"OK, thanks… "
Leon nodded, reached out to take the electronic card, and subconsciously touched the other person's slender fingers.
The girl's skin is warm and has the unique smoothness of human skin. Leon almost feels like touching a real person...
However, it is obvious that the android has no self-awareness, and the girl did not react in any way to Leon's behavior. She just smiled and watched Leon move the wheelchair and leave.
As soon as he got out of the elevator on the second floor, Leon immediately saw rows of applicants sitting on the sofas in the corridor. Some of these people were wearing bionic prostheses, and some were poor and couldn't even afford bionic prostheses. Curled up in a wheelchair like himself.
These people are all disabled people who applied for the Blackwatch Company's police department.
In cities around the world, as long as there are Blacklight Technology branches, there will be local police departments responsible for the security of the city.
This department is a semi-public and semi-private department. As long as you enter this department and become a bionic police officer, it is equivalent to a person having two identities, one of which is a police officer and the other is an employee of Blackwatch Company.
This job is very generous for the disabled. Unfortunately, not everyone can join the War Police Department. First of all, they must be disabled, and preferably from the police or the army. Of course, ordinary people can also join, but unless you are extremely Be strong or have extremely high fighting qualities, otherwise the chance of being selected is not great.
Leon picked a corner and waited quietly. He looked at the electronic screen above the closed office in front of him. At this time, the words "New York City Bionic Police Audition Site, North America" were marked on the screen, and below it was is a number, and the number displayed at this time is 21.
Then, Leon looked at the silver number plate in his hand. The number on it was 39.
Well, it seems that there are still eighteen people to wait for in front of me, so wait slowly...
Just like that, Leon took out his mobile phone and put on his headphones, and began to immerse himself in his own world.
About half an hour later, Leon couldn't help but look up at the number plate outside the office, only to find that the number on it was only 25. He frowned immediately, but fortunately, there was a bionic waiter on the second floor serving tea and water. , constantly providing considerate services to the applicants here.
Looking at the release attendant, Leon had to secretly sigh that the bionic man developed by Blackwatch Company was indeed very suitable for the job of nanny. He was hard-working, dedicated and not lazy.
And I don’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional, these bionic people are designed to be extremely beautiful, almost comparable to celebrities in real life, except that their movements are a bit stiff and you can tell at a glance that they are not real people, there are almost no flaws...
Moreover, Leon heard from sand sculpture netizens on the Internet that these bionic people are very realistic even on the top and bottom, and can be used as high-end inflatable dolls...
Until three hours passed, it was finally Leon's turn.
As soon as he entered the door, Leon immediately saw four men and women in suits sitting in an office with dim lighting. One of them was wearing a bionic prosthesis, and the other three were completely healthy normal people. In front of the four, There is a sign indicating the examiner.
"Hello, tutors, my name is Pedro Leon, born in Lopete Town, North America. I'm here to apply for the position of Bionic Warrior."
Leon bowed slightly while sitting in his wheelchair and said softly.
"Both legs disabled?"
At this time, a man sitting on the far right frowned and asked unceremoniously, "Leon, how did your legs become disabled? Is it because of the injuries from criminals?"
"No, I was disabled because of an accident."
Leon pondered, "That accident was..."
But before he finished speaking, the man interrupted him, "So was your previous occupation the police or the army?"
"neither."
Leon shook his head, with a flattering smile on his face, "I was a college student before, but I took a free fighting course in school, and my ranking was not low."
After hearing Leon's words, the four people looked at each other immediately. At this moment, the only man wearing a bionic prosthesis suddenly said, "Tell me about your understanding of 'justice' and how you view bionics." The profession of a soldier?"
"I think the so-called justice is to fight against all potential evils!"
Leon immediately replied, "My dream is to become a superhero. In my opinion, justice is pure and without any flaws. Any selfish behavior cannot be called justice."
"As for how I view the profession of Bionic Men, in my opinion they are not real heroes, because real heroes should not sensationalize. I think they are more like a group of actors, because real heroes are nameless..."
Hearing this, the remaining two people raised their heads and glanced at Leon in surprise, and then they talked in low voices.
Immediately, the man wearing the bionic prosthesis nodded, "Mr. Leon, thank you for your participation. You can leave now. If you are selected in the first round, we will notify you by email."
"All right… "
Leon smiled bitterly and nodded. He bowed to everyone again before turning and leaving.
By the time they left the Blackwatch Company building, the demonstrations outside the door had long since subsided, and the huge LED screen overhead had been repaired, and the recruitment advertisement for the BHB Police Team was once again playing on it.
Leon couldn't help but look back again, but when he looked at the man standing in the middle of the BHB police team, there was a hint of deep resentment in his eyes...
But at this moment, a figure suddenly stopped in front of him. He turned around and saw a strong man with a fierce look standing in front of him.
"Leon, was your application successful?"
"No, I seem to...fail."
