Chapter 190 There Are No Living Legends in Night City

Even if the entire earth is now exploring outer space, Chicago, where the American robotics company is headquartered, has an average of one intelligent robot for every eight people.The total population of all the cities adds up to nearly 8 million.

But the entire police station is not counted as a civilian, and the total number of all personnel is less than 1000.Most of them are patrols sent out to maintain law and order.

There are VIKI to help manage the city, plus intelligent robots everywhere.The law and order situation in Chicago is very good, and there are not many police officers at all.

Highly intelligent, so that information transmission is very fast.In the movie "Mechanical Enemy", Spooner, who has no trust in robots, mistook him for a robot robbery on the way to work. After a little conflict, when he arrived at the police station, the whole police station knew about his embarrassment.

Working in the Chicago Police Department in 2035, apart from dealing with gang members outside the city and dealing with some emergencies, the rest of the time is fishing.

In daily life without tasks, Rorschach was either playing the 2035 game on the police station's computer, or he was in a daze.

The Red Queen will do all the reporting and use the police system to retrieve information.

What Luo Xia and the Red Queen did was seen by everyone, and no one said anything, after all, the same was true for everyone else.

In the police station where the overall atmosphere is fishing, everyone is salted fish.

Luo Xia wore a device similar to a bone conduction headset on the back of his neck, and stared at the computer screen in front of him in a daze.

But in fact, only the Red Queen knows that Rorschach's thoughts have now been transferred to another person.

[Implanted symbiont: symbiont neuron equipment, individually cultivated neuron symbionts can only match each other, and will never be intercepted and monitored.It allows you to manipulate the body of another creature, and after mastering it, you can act in conjunction with the main body. 'I know you have a bold idea, but don't be mean! ']

The implanted neuron device from "Sonny's Advantage" is more private than the synaesthesia device in Pacific Rim, and it is easier for ordinary people to operate.

Now the brood has begun to develop neuron implantation equipment for biochemical weapons. Just imagine how much help a single strengthened individual can provide to combatants in battle.

There is even no need for humanoid organisms at all, and beasts are more suitable for hunting.

As a reward for coming to the world of "Mechanical Enemy", Rorschach did not expect such a product.This device is more like a transfer of biological will.

In the original "Sonny's Advantage" story, Sonny's own human body has been damaged, and since then she has lived in the body of a fighting beast through equipment.

However, Rorschach would not equip combatants with human bodies as an aid. All implanted symbionts control biochemical weapons similar to Alpha Hunters or Tyrants.

Only Rorschach is an exception. Now Rorschach is manipulating a human body and walking in the gang-controlled area outside the city.

Wearing a neon green stand-up collar, his brown hair sticks up stiffly, with black inserts in his shaved temples, the neuron device's receiver.It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, it is a prosthetic implant.

The gang-controlled areas outside the city are more like urban villages, with rows of buildings that are generally not too tall.People who can't find a job in the city can only dawdle here.

Although there is no intelligent system management in the city, the most basic order is still maintained here.

Luo Xia was wandering here, and the people around were not vigilant when they saw the strange face. There was even a big sister who kindly greeted Luo Xia and asked if he needed to rest.

Except for the poor environment outside the city, everything else is the same as usual.

Except for the person who smashed in front of him...

Looking at the person lying on the ground writhing in front of him, Luo Xia raised his head and saw on the roof beside him, there were several people looking down, they were the ones who threw him down just now.

The door of the store on the side opened, and a smoking lady came out, who looked like the proprietress, wearing an off-the-shoulder turtleneck with the shawl slipped off.

She delicately walked in front of Luo Xia, kicked the person on the ground fiercely, and said, "Huck, you already owe me a lot of money, did I tell you that before you pay off the debt, Don't appear in front of me again!"

"Ahem... I have money, as long as the people from the Whirlpool Gang..."

Before the guy on the ground finished speaking, he was greeted strongly by the high heels again. The heels of the high heels stepped on the man's liver fiercely, making it difficult for him to finish his next words in pain.

"Huck, if you say one more word, I will remove your prosthetic body and send the rest of your body to the soap factory! Give you half a month to return the money you owe me! Otherwise..."

The high-heeled shoes were twisted, and a trace of blood was stained on the heel.

The man who said yes was clutching his wound and walked away. The action of being thrown down from the upstairs and being alive and kicking seemed to be a stunt.

"Have you seen enough?"

The woman's voice woke up Luo Xia, and Luo Xia looked up at the roof of the building where the person was thrown, and said, "It's so dangerous, it almost hit me!"

This kind of words that sounded like they were about to find fault made the woman sound calm. She walked to the door of her store, leaned against the door and said, "I'll buy you a drink. This matter is over, how about it?"

Surrounded by ferocious strong men, a glass of amber wine was placed in front of Rorschach with a paper towel on it.

The proprietress at the bar lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke slowly, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Walter Kovax, from Night City, looking for some work here..."

Rorschach picked up the wine glass and put it down again. Looking at the name printed on the tissue, he read out slowly: "Sisters Parame? So are you Parame?"

The proprietress of the bar didn't deny it, she reached out and patted a small blackboard above her head, on which some 'jobs' were written in chalk.If you ignore the details, these jobs are actually very well paid.

'Chop off Wade Wilson's head'

'Access the robot source code of the American robotics company'

'Sneak into Alfred Langing's home and get his latest research'

'Get the Orangutan Arm Prosthetic from the Maelstrom'

……

None of the above tasks can be completed by a normal person. After drinking the glass of wine, Rorschach savored the taste of the wine and said, "Your blackboard reminds me of Sister Margaret's bad boy. Home, the bulletin board there is betting on the time of everyone's death, and it is said that the highest has accumulated to 190 yuan!"

The proprietress, Parame, nodded seriously, and took out another blackboard from under the bar, wrote something on it, and hung it next to the mission notice board.

"Hey, hey, do you expect me to die so much?"

Rorschach protested as he watched a name appear on the new blackboard, which happened to be the pseudonym 'Walter Kovax', and the price behind the name was ten dollars.

Parame put away the wine glass in front of Rorschach, put it under the bar, said please have a drink, and there was only one glass.

Parame said: "I know that the missions on the notice board are fatal, but your eyes tell me that you are really planning to do something big! By the way, where is the Night City you mentioned?"

"Located in a city in the Free State of Northern California. It is located in Del Coronado Bay on the west coast of Magnesium. There are so many legends in Night City, I just came out because I couldn't get along. Can you tell me what's going on with the Maelstrom Gang? I see There are tasks about the Maelstrom Gang, and you just..."

Just now, when Huck hadn't finished speaking, the proprietress forced back the words about the Whirlpool Gang.And the mission about the orangutan arm is actually on this death notice board.

There is no such thing in the police station in the city. The police station is only in charge of the city, and they have no chance to come out.Even if it is ensnaring, it is just a circle around the edge.

Lighting another cigarette with a lighter, Parame said slowly: "The Maelstrom Gang are all lunatics. If you want to join them, the first thing you need to transform is your own brain. According to them, only by strengthening the processing system can you use a more powerful brain." the power of.

But what they said was right. So far, the Maelstrom Gang is the largest gang.They even counterattack the city from time to time.

Listen to my advice, as a foreigner, go to the city to find a job, of course, I can also arrange for you, only charge [-]% of the salary as an introduction fee, for six months..."

Rorschach was not interested in work, what he was really interested in was the tasks he saw on the notice board.

'Sneak into the home of Alfred Langning and get his latest research', Alfred Langing is the chief researcher of the American Robotics Corporation, the key task of the company's fortune, and he developed all the robots system, and use the three laws to restrict all smart devices produced by the company.

What latest research can such a person have in his home?Shouldn't the serious research work be in the company?
Those who can know this information must know more information.

Rorschach asked: "Who posted these tasks on the bulletin board?"

"do not know……"

The proprietress replied very simply, and said: "These are rewards that have been circulated outside. No one knows who posted them, but after completing the task, you only need to make this call, and someone will send the money to your designated account. ..."

The proprietress Parame dipped her fingers in some water and wrote a phone number that looked fake on the bar counter. A normal phone phone doesn't have so many zeros at all.

Luo Xia took out some banknotes, put them on the bar counter, and said, "Give me another drink, I'm asking for the last message."

The proprietress put the glass in front of Luo Xia, poured him a glass of wine, and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"Where do I go to recruit enough people?"

Parame was a little angry, and she didn't let the guy in front of her give up.

He dropped the bottle heavily on the bar, and Parame said: "Go to the bonfire outside, you only need to shout at the bonfire at night, as long as you give money, those people can get you anything, whether it's manpower or equipment……"

"Are you really going to die?"

Rorschach picked up the glass of wine, put it on the white paper towel again, took a new picture of a ten-dollar bill, and said, "Of course, I'll put ten dollars on myself. You know, Night City can There are no living legends..."
