meta plan

Nora's escape plan had no chance to be implemented, because their shuttle boat encountered the Northern Federation's response team on the way.

The huge and well-prepared fleet completely cut off their chance of escape.

This battle made Arandil puzzled. Are they worthy of such a big fight by the Federation?
Under the escort of the supporting fleet, Nora and his party passed through the Moon Gate before the arrival of the evil day, and were sent directly from Base No. [-] back to the Federation Guangliu City.

When they disembarked from the fleet, the people who greeted them were Hoddle and Dr. Gein.

They said something to the people in the fleet, and then walked towards them.

"Long time no see, cousin!"

"Hi Dr. Gein!"

Alanduil warmly greeted his cousin and greeted Dr. Gein.

The preoccupied Hoddle ignored Alendir's playful smile, and Dr. Gein just nodded to his greeting.

He noticed a trace of doubt and sullenness flashed across Nora's face when he saw Dr. Gein.

Although it was fleeting, he also caught this subtle expression change.

Dr. Gein was obviously a little anxious, and looked at Nora, as if to confirm whether Nora was injured.

After confirming that Nora was fine, Dr. Gein relaxed, but did not speak.

This weird mother-daughter meeting gave Arandil a headache, and it seemed that he was the only one to break the silence.

"Cousin, why did you come to pick me up?"

Hodl: "I won't come to pick you up, lest you cause trouble!"

Alanduil was not convinced: "I am so sensible, how could it be?"

Under the eyes of the federal soldiers, several people could not say anything.

Soon, some federal administrators brought a bunch of agreements, which Nora and Alanduil had to sign.

It is nothing more than an agreement to keep everything in the south secret and not to spread any rumors.

The guarantors of this agreement are Dr. Gein and Hoddle.

After some tedious procedures, they finally had private time.

Alanduil thought, let's go home first, he is still worried about the situation of his parents.

Hoddle didn't object, but reminded him that although they signed a non-disclosure agreement, there might be someone secretly monitoring their actions during this period of time.

After saying goodbye to Nora, Alanduil went home.

"Don't worry, Nora, I'll be back soon, don't miss me too much!"

Before leaving, Alanduil did not forget to blow a kiss to Nora.

Alanduil's provocative behavior made Hoddle and Dr. Gein subconsciously frown, but Nora was accustomed to Alanduil's tricky behavior.

After Alanduil left, Hoddle looked at the teacher's expression. The two parents hadn't seen each other for many years, and they were strangers than strangers.

"Miss Nora, the federation will send secret sentries to watch over you, and I have arranged a relatively clean place. There are still some things that the federation needs to cooperate with in the investigation. If it is convenient, please live in Guangliu city."

Hoddle's reason is very appropriate, and Nora has no reason to refuse.And she has indeed not stayed in Guangliu City for many years.

"Okay, you can send the address to my communicator. If there is nothing else, I want to be alone."

Hoddle looked at the doctor, then at Miss Nora's indifferent expression, and said helplessly:
"I will send it to you later. This is the Guangyucheng credit card. In addition, if you have any other needs, you can contact me."

Nora rejected the familiar credit card, ignored Dr. Gein's complicated expression, turned around and left the federal city with 222.

Hoddle had no choice but to take back the credit card. It seemed that the teacher's wish was rejected again.

Dr. Gein looked at the back of his daughter's departure, and it overlapped with his wife in memory, Sisi, our daughter is really like you.

"Teacher, what are we going to do next?"

Dr. Gein, who had complicated thoughts and recalled the past, was called back by Hoddle's voice.

Dr. Gein: "Go to see Admiral Nott and analyze all the information brought back by the Skyblade team."

On the other side, although I haven't been to Guangliu City for several years, it basically hasn't changed.

Prosperous, busy, full of traffic, and shuttle boats coming and going, here gathers the favored sons of the north, the economic center, and the political center.

It is a city that never sleeps without fear of the threat of the evil sun.

While riding the air maglev train, Nora observed the residents here, their expressions and remarks were very tense.

It seems that although the doomsday talk has been suppressed, the seeds of doubt in the hearts of the residents are taking root and sprouting, and sooner or later they will break out of the ground.

Before going to the place where Hodel arranged to live, Nora took 222 to a relatively desolate street below the outer periphery of Guangliu City.

The difference from the bustling main city of Guangliu and the attached city is that there are some businessmen living here.

They sell information about Guangliu City, the north, and even weapons. It is also a place where the excluded cyborgs gather.

This is another real world under the surface of the bustling Guangyu City. Nora came to this place to find an acquaintance.

When she came to the door of a merchant in an old-fashioned community, Nora knocked on the door a few times according to the signal.

An electronic probe suddenly stretched out, scanned the information of her pupils, and then retracted.

The iron door opened automatically, and the metal plate underneath suddenly started to move. Nora, who was still standing still due to inertia, was suddenly hugged by a bear.

The other party hung his hands and feet on her body, and said in his mouth: "Little Nora! It's little Nora!"

"Long time no see, you've grown up so much!"

Nora's hair was completely messed up, and 222 was about to tear the unknown creature off her master.

But a mechanical arm stretched out from the side to stop her. In the line of sight of 222, a male robot said: "This is the master's way of expressing goodwill, please don't take offense!"

Nora struggled to remove the person on her body, and at the moment when the other party was about to rush over, she said coldly: "Aunt Lan, if you do this again, I will immediately contact the federal inspector!"

Hearing this, Wei Lan Tours paused, and a bitter melon look appeared on the doll's face.

"Our little Nora is no longer cute when she grows up! She even learned how to threaten her!"

"I think back then you were still following me like a fool, and Aunt Lan was so happy when you yelled at each other."

"Sure enough, the world has changed, even the lovely children have changed..."

The orange-haired girl in front of her, who is not suitable for her age, is full of sadness and remorse. She is a former friend of Nora's mother.

Now he is doing work on the edge of federal law, as a hacker, selling information for a living.

"Aunt Lan, I didn't come to see you acting. I need your help."

Weilan's expression restrained a bit: "Sure enough, I went to the south and became indifferent. It's all my fault. I didn't protect little Nora's innocence!"

Nora automatically ignored some nonsense. She was not surprised. Aunt Lan knew about her being sent back immediately.

"This is 222. She has recently damaged her functional system many times because of protecting us. I just repaired some parts. Some delicate parts need maintenance."

"I can't trust other people. I hope Aunt Lan can help me with this."

Hearing this, Wei Lan felt a lot of relief in her heart.

She glanced around 222, the microcrystalline system on the pupils basically analyzed the surface layer.

"This robot has been with you for so many years, and it hasn't been maintained. Now the skin is still in good condition. It's a good manufacturing process."

"For detailed maintenance, I will ask Xiaoqi to give a plan first."

Under Weilan's order, the male robot named Xiao Qi took 222 to another studio.

Weilan looked at the child who looked similar to Sisi but had a completely different personality, and lamented that time is not forgiving.

"You still have something to say."

Nora didn't hesitate: "My mother, how is she doing now?"

Weilan lit a cigar, took a puff, and exhaled smoke rings.

"It's still the same, it doesn't respond to the external situation, but the special capsule where she is placed has been changed; I managed to hack into the system in that place, but I can't get in that place."

Weilan called up the video. It was a place similar to a laboratory. In the capsule cabin in the center, Sisi's physiological indicators were being strictly monitored by various instruments.

"It is estimated that your father intervened. Have you found a way to wake up Sister Sisi?"

For so many years, Weilan knew that Nora traveled all over the place just to find something that could repair Sisi's brain nerves.

"It's already on the horizon, and the final human experiment is still missing."

Through the video, the familiar face of her mother made Nora seem to return to the accident of the shuttle boat ten years ago.

In order to protect her, her mother missed the best chance to escape.

Wei Lan pinched off the cigarette butt, and continued: "I always thought that the accident back then was intentionally done by someone, and the shuttle boat you were on would not break down for no reason."

"I have been investigating the cause of the accident that year. Many materials have been deleted artificially. There is only a trace of the crashed shuttle system being invaded and controlled, but the source can no longer be traced."

"However, malicious code similar to that virus program has recently appeared on the black market. As long as it dares to show up again, I will definitely not let it escape!"

"How much do you remember about that accident?"

Nora shook her head. At that time, the despair of her mother's serious injury and dying had already made her panic.

He didn't notice anything unusual before and after the shuttle lost control.

And what happened later made her even more sad and angry.

After the accident, the ambulance boat came and they separated her from her mum, and then her father came.

The doctor said that multiple internal organs ruptured and cerebral hemorrhage, the conventional rescue hope is less than three levels, even if the rescue is successful, he will become a vegetative state.

Unless you try to transplant your mother's consciousness into another person, this kind of technology that was developed by my father not long ago is not yet fully mature.

Nora remembered that her mother had always strongly opposed the public release of such technology, thinking that it was something against the ethics of nature.

So the mother, who was already critically ill at the time, grabbed her hand, exhausted all her strength, and told them with her eyes that she refused the consciousness transplant!
At that time, she didn't know what to do. She didn't want her mother to leave her, but she didn't want to go against her mother's choice.

Under her mother's pleading, Nora chose to respect her mother's wishes.

But the father made a decision, even if he understood what the mother meant, he would forcibly perform the consciousness transplant.

The experiment failed, and the mother's subjective consciousness refused, causing serious damage to her brain and nerve tissue.

In the end, although there was a sliver of life in the special dormant cabin, the situation hadn't improved for so many years.

For a long time, Nora believed that it was Dr. Gein's stubbornness that caused her mother to be irreversibly hurt.

So she was very angry and didn't want to face her father who had been disregarding her mother's wishes at that time.

But at the same time sulked at myself, because the consciousness transplant had failed, but at least Mom was still alive.

This contradictory thought of blaming herself and venting anger made her unable to face her mother, and she could not stop being angry with her father.

But in her heart, she also understood that she couldn't escape forever.
