Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 626 Chapter 623 Aging Face

Zhuang Xuteng quickly drove away from the scene with the two guys who were knocked unconscious. He walked in the opposite direction to Gogong Road, and the two men met at the "black car" as planned. During the drive, Zhuang Xuteng used the Eye of Shadow to carefully observe the implants used by the two people to identify which ones might pose a threat to the black car. In addition, he also monitors the heartbeats and breathing of the two people. Once they wake up, their heartbeats and breathing will change significantly, and he can make up for the damage immediately.

He also did not forget to let the sick lady get into his body and be ready to attack at any time. Among the two, Tata, who had more shadow followers, obviously needed more attention. The sick lady was always ready to use the bone spear technique from his body.

The journey went smoothly, and he and Ge Gongdao met at the stop of the "black car" as scheduled. As soon as they met, Ge Gongdao gave a thumbs up and praised Zhuang Xuteng for his quick and powerful actions. The short and continuous use of high-speed and high-burst implants can indeed play a great role in combat, and is obviously the direction of future training. But Ge Gongdao also didn't understand why Naike didn't look tired at all, as if he hadn't suffered any side effects at all.

He just thought that he was too far behind, and Naike was talented and worked hard enough, so he should have this kind of strength. Training will definitely need to be strengthened in the future, but for now we still have to focus on the two prisoners.

In interrogating and collecting confessions, Ge Gongdao's level was higher than Zhuang Xuteng's, so he conducted the first wave. Before the interrogation, Zhuang Xuteng stripped the two men naked, destroyed the suspicious implants, and then locked the shackles. The first person sent to the black car for trial was Jeremy Dot. He had a small number of implants and shadow slave equipment, which were relatively less dangerous. Moreover, he was also a member of the Special Department and participated in the murder of Gogong Dao. It is natural to hand him over to Gogong Dao for interrogation.

"Pay attention to the oxygen content of the respirator. You are big and consume a lot. If you get excited, the oxygen consumption will be particularly rapid. There are four boxes inside, with a total of sixteen cans that can be replaced. There is no need to save them." Zhuang Xuteng He told Ge Gong: "If you need to open the door, just knock on the door frame. That part is the only hard connection between the inside and outside, and the knocking sound is the clearest."

"When will he wake up?" Ge Gongdao asked.

"Within ten minutes. I'm very measured in my actions."

In fact, this is not a matter of timing, but using necromancy to help people treat their injuries and thereby control their recovery time. Generally speaking, necromancers are experts in torture, because they have the ability to cause death, pain and healing at the same time. Even if they are tortured to death, they can regain control and stand up and continue to be manipulated.

The sealed door slowly closed, the door latch clicked and locked, and Gogongdao began to interrogate Jeremy. Since the isolation effect between the internal and external environment is too good, placing the sensing tentacles inside will not get much information, and it will also increase the mana consumption a lot, which is obviously inappropriate. So Zhuang Xuteng directly sent the sick lady to remain invisible in the carriage. If Ge Gongdao encountered danger, she would immediately get out and report to him. Passing through oil, lead plates and metal mesh will indeed seriously weaken the sick lady, but she can't protest, and secondly, she can recover as long as she replenishes her grievances. This is currently the best internal and external communication method.

"Okay, that's enough." Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his hands and turned to look at Tata, who was still unconscious. "It's time to serve you. What the hell is going on with you? Are you a puppet or a living person?"

In terms of internal structure, the most fundamental difference between execution puppets and humans is the brain. They only have about 10% of the original brain, mainly to maintain contact with the central nervous system. The shadow slave chip and brain-simulating implants have replaced 90% of the original, so the execution puppet is closer to a machine, and at most it can be regarded as a biochemical machine.

Tata's brain was complete, except for a few extra chips, most of which were embedded in the skull and pierced into the cerebral cortex. It was a bit like an intelligence officer's spy implant installed backwards. There is also a hint that the chip is located deep in the center of his brain, close to the medulla, but inside. Zhuang Xuteng had never heard of it, let alone seen the installation site of such a shadow slave chip. He couldn't even figure out how to install the chip so deeply without damaging the brain.

Why do you have to put it there?
In addition to this strange chip, the shadow slave and implant on Tata also highlight an "unseen" feature. Zhuang Xuteng could identify by shape and material which ones were antennas and connected communication equipment, which ones were hidden slots containing weapons, and which ones were sports implants and shadow slaves that increased strength and explosive power, but these added up to only one-fifth of the total. one. The remaining four-fifths are all shadow slaves connected to various internal organs, and half of them are related to the nervous system.

Generally speaking, implants that enhance survivability are closely connected to the internal organs and are deeply involved in the daily work of the circulatory system, digestive system, and immune system. Could it be that all Tata's equipment is a life support device?

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head, he thought this was incredible. With the development of implants over the years, there are a wide variety of life-sustaining products with good and stable effects. As long as you have money and relatively high-level insurance, you can have your own heart, kidney, or pancreas replaced in the hospital. This is no longer uncommon. . If you really want to get a complete life support system, the "backup internal organs" used by Zhuang Xuteng is the best solution. If you are still worried, you can even back up two or three sets.

The company's unique organ replacement implant only has the nervous system, which is the type of neural bypass-strengthening implant that Zhuang Xuteng obtained and then handed over to Dr. Jiang Pazu by Ge Gongdao as the cost of the surgery. That set of implants is obviously more sophisticated, giving people a high-tech feel. The implant on Tata only made Zhuang Xuteng feel cheap, as if it was installed using technology that was eliminated ten years ago, with the spirit of putting it together and using it...

"Is it possible that ten years ago, you, a guy like you, suffered a serious injury and had to temporarily use these things to survive. Later, you found that it was difficult to replace them, so you could only keep them like this?" Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head, so many implants connected to the organs After entering the body, it was difficult for him to start. "Is it because the company's technology can't give you a better one, or does the company think you're not important enough? Alas, to work for the company you have to be clique-y and strong. What's the point... Eh? The mask is nothing but a mouth. Can the other parts be peeled off as well?”

After careful research, Zhuang Xuteng found the mechanism of the Tata mask. After opening the two locks on the left and right sides and the top, the shadow slave device on his face can be lifted off as a whole, and then he can continue to remove other parts covering his ears, lower jaw and the back of his head. Shadow slave. Generally, devices with communication functions are placed near the ears and mouth, and personal assistants and antennas are also installed nearby. In order to ensure that all possibilities for him to communicate are eliminated, it is safest to remove the entire shadow slave device.

Lifting the mask bit by bit, he opened the mouth mask downwards and took out the soft air-filtering braces in his mouth. A wrinkled old man's face appeared in front of Zhuang Xuteng. The skin on this face was pale, with wrinkles as deep as ravines, and a texture like dehydrated old tree bark.

"This is the result of using inferior implants and shadow slaves: too much consumption of body vitality, aging quickly, and dying early. It's so pitiful that after working for the company all your life..."

Zhuang Xuteng suddenly stopped. He frowned and carefully looked at Tata's face again, gradually feeling that something was not right. "Uh, isn't it? Why do they look more and more alike?" He put down his work completely, swung Tata's face left and right, and observed it carefully, not missing any detail.

His forehead was soon covered with sweat, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes. "No, what the hell is this?!" He pushed Tata's body away suddenly, shrank back to the corner, and distanced himself for observation. After two or three glances, he no longer hesitated, crawled to the back of the cab, knocked on the door frame with the heel of his hand, and then turned the combination lock to open the metal door.

A muffled sound of "Uh-huh" came from the door, which was Jeremy's struggle after being gagged. Ge Gongdao stood at the door, poked his head outside and asked, "What's the matter? It's not time yet?" "Brother Dao, come and take a look at this. Does it look like a person..." Zhuang Xuteng pointed to the car on the passenger seat. Tata.

"Can he look like a dog even though he's not human? You took off his hood..." Ge Gongdao supported the back of the seat with both hands, stretched his neck and took a look, shook his head and said, "I've never seen this before. Who is the old man?"

"If you take a closer look, does he look like an otter?" Zhuang Xuteng's voice was rarely trembling, which made Ge Gongdao pay more attention to it.

"The otter is dead. It wouldn't be surprising if there is someone who looks like him in this world. And how old the otter is, how old this guy is..." Ge Gongdao looked at it a few more times, and gradually changed his explanation: " Oh, fuck, don’t tell me, it looks more and more like me!”

The two of them looked at Tata's old face for a long time, thinking that this would be what the otter would look like if he got old. At this time, the sound of humming and humming kept coming from the rear compartment. Ge Gongdao frowned and said: "It's just that they look alike, it's nothing important. That Jeremy inside is very disrespectful and needs to be dealt with." , I'll make him feel comfortable."

"But..." Zhuang Xuteng grabbed Ge Gongdao who was about to leave, pointed his other hand at Tata's neck, and said: "Look at this place, the whole circle, the top and bottom are clearly defined, and there are obvious The marks were stitched and healed. The head appears to have been installed.”

"You have too much imagination. If you cut off your head, you will die. You can't press it back. Which one is more likely to look the same or have a different head? Moreover, the ages of the heads are also different. The otter's age is between the two of us, so it can't be him anyway. Okay, I'm going to beat someone up. I'll tell you if I find anything new."

Ge Gongdao waved his hand, turned around and got into the interrogation room. Jeremy inside let out the loudest shout so far. However, his mouth was tightly gagged and he could not raise his voice at all. Moreover, the "black car" found a remote and uninhabited place, and he could not find rescuers.

Although Brother Dao was sure that Zhuang Xuteng was overthinking, this could not dispel Zhuang Xuteng's suspicion. He carefully examined Tata's neck, compared the skin on both sides, and then used his sensing tentacles to detect the situation inside his skin. He found more traces of splicing of the body, and also found some suspicious points in the spinal nervous system that ran through the skull and extended to the buttocks.

"This central nervous system looks more and more artificial. In many places it is exactly the same as the neural bypass enhancement implant, but its influence energy response is very weak, which is comparable to the natural nervous system that has been eroded by the influence side effects for a long time. It’s quite a stretch to say it’s an implant, but it’s quite appropriate to say he suffers from Lanci syndrome.”

Zhuang Xuteng couldn't figure out what was going on. The sensing tentacles have limited ability to search inside other people's bodies, and the Shadow Eyes can only look at energy reactions and cannot obtain more detailed information. If you want to reveal the secret of Tata's body, you need professional medical equipment, at least...

Wait, the Eye of Kaho has X-ray vision. You can fine-tune the intensity and see layer by layer. Although it is not as accurate as medical tomography, it is at least better than the sensory tentacles. Zhuang Xuteng put his hands on the corners of his eyes and was about to adjust the intensity of the perspective when he heard the doorframe behind him being banged.

The knocking sound matched the code, and Zhuang Xuteng quickly opened the door. Jeremy didn't move this time. He fell to the ground together with the chair he was tied to, apparently knocked unconscious again.

"The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, and then I remembered a detail." Ge Gongdao pointed to the right back of his head and said: "The otter was hit by someone, and the skull was fractured at that time. Although he survived, there is nothing here anymore. He doesn’t have long hair either. Look at it..."

Zhuang Xuteng adjusted the perspective and took a look, and said: "The old skull injury at the same location shows obvious signs of healing. Are there any other clues? Just this one, it may still be a coincidence."

"Let me think about it...that boy likes to disguise himself, I can't be confused..." Ge Gongdao held his head in his hands and thought for a while, then said: "By the way, there was a raid on the gang station, and he was knocked off three times by an elbow. I remember the two teeth on the top and one on the bottom. I looked in the mirror and figured out which ones they were."

Ge Gongdao looked at the rearview mirror and touched his teeth with his fingers. "Yes, I can't remember the two behind the canine teeth, but I can't remember the one underneath - his mouth was full of blood at the time, and the bottom part was very blurry."

"Yes, this person is the same. Here are three implant teeth." Zhuang Xuteng covered his mouth with one hand and pointed at Tata's eyebrows with the other hand and said, "I think something is wrong here. When he first saw the otter, he The eye socket on this side is like this, it's irregular in shape. Once he relaxes, this eye is smaller and the eyebrows and eyelids are lower than the other side."

"Indeed, he has the problem you mentioned!" Ge Gongdao looked at Tata again, his voice began to tremble, and said: "There is no way this is an otter, right?"

"Did he surrender to the company after being caught, then join the company and work his way up to become a powerful and powerful member?" Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "Theoretically, as long as he is in Peicheng, he will not stop looking for us, right? ? His old relationship cannot be used, right - as long as he wants to move up, there will be no conflict between us and the company, right? "

Several consecutive "right or wrong"s fully showed that Zhuang Xuteng was at a loss. He didn't know what he wanted to prove: to prove that this was just a big coincidence, or to prove that this was an otter?

For a moment, the two senior brothers didn't know what else to do besides looking at each other...
