Psychics don't die from gunfire

Each entrance to the institute's office area requires passing through an automatic security gate.

The light blue light curtain inside the door came down from the top of his head and passed over Song Shi's body, and a green light sign "Access Allowed" quickly lit up above.

——The function of this automatic security gate is to detect whether prohibited items are carried and the status of prosthetic bodies.

The former, Song Shi, only brought the steel crow with him on this trip. After the weapon was refined into the body, it could not be detected at least at the level of this security gate.

The latter relies on the chip that Tabitha and Flash Star jointly manufactured and implanted in the body.

Its effect is to generate "mimetic prosthetic body status" and "security clearance certificate". When encountering this kind of detection, it will automatically float up, just like a layer of film covering Song Shi, allowing the security inspection equipment to identify false information and pass the inspection.

This is also a common method used by many prosthetic body hackers. They will buy or forge "prosthetic body safety licenses" to provide safety certificates for the prosthetic bodies they sell, so that buyers can be qualified to handle various security inspections and freely enter and exit public places - but Flashstar and Tabitha are a bit more skilled.

[Attention, you have entered the intranet area, please keep your electronic devices and networked prosthetics properly, and at the same time.]

After successfully passing the security gate, Song Shi didn't feel too happy.

In essence, this security gate is a "high-speed rail entrance" level protective measure. It is useful, of course, but it is not that useful - if Enlightenment's technical support cannot even pass this level, then we might as well split up the property. .

"Tas" smart assault rifle, Iron Pawn type tactical dagger, body armor with half-full ceramic plates, "Eagle Eye" field-mounted goggles, "Jingshi" combat prosthetics, and "Red Spider Web" neural spine chain

Glancing around, Song Shi sighed inwardly at the number of patrolling security guards that had increased significantly since he entered the office area.

From his perspective, the quality of these individual security guards could not be said to be elite, but at least they were all at a qualified level. With the equipment and prosthetics provided by Jade Pharmaceuticals, it would be very troublesome once the number of people reached a certain level.

Not invincible.

These guys don't carry heavy firepower - it's probably not that they don't have it, but they put it in the equipment warehouse. After all, who would let people carry heavy firepower around their own laboratory?

In this case, Song Shi was confident that he could kill them all by himself with the help of the complex terrain of the institute.

But there are more than just those at the First Institute.

Armed security forces in other areas, physical blockades of various passages, indoor drone swarms, and autonomous weapons will always overwhelm you.

It is indeed unrealistic to want to kill the entire institute just by myself now.

But now, if "whole" is replaced by "part".

Ever since he met "Trier", a member of Xu Yi's group, and the two of them walked together, Song Shi calmly stepped back a third of his body to observe each other more easily.

But at this moment, the other party suddenly spoke.

She didn't look back and said as she walked: "By the way, Xu, the synthesis of TTP protein failed last time. Do you have any ideas?"

"There's something wrong with the release timing of the lyticase."

Song Shi replied.

"Do you still insist on this point of view? But we have already checked the process, and the problem should not be here." The woman frowned slightly: "Are there no new ideas?"

Song Shi pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head.

Seeing this, she pinched her eyebrows and said: "Okay, let's not mention this for now. The team meeting will report how you are doing there? My progress here is not going well. You know Director Helin. "

Hearing this, Song Shi pondered again for a moment, did not speak, and just smiled.

The other party stopped and was a little surprised: "Are you so sure?"

Then, she shook her head again and moved forward: "Okay, I'll wait for your performance later."

Song Shi nodded slightly.

At this moment, he already had some ideas on how to enter the atrium. The risk was not low, but it was worth a try.

"—Terriel."

Song Shi called out the other party's name, and the vocal device implanted in his Adam's apple perfectly restored the voice of "Xu Yi".

"Um?"

"I suddenly remembered that I forgot to process yesterday's report. You go to the conference room first. I'll be right over." After saying that, Song Shi pointed at himself and said calmly: "I just need time to make some adjustments." , you understand Director Herring’s character, I have to make sure nothing goes wrong later.”

"Adjust it?"

Terril repeated the word and gave the other party a strange look: "It's already at this point in time. Is there anything else that can be adjusted? That's fine. I'll go over there first."

Song Shi watched the other party disappear around the corner, straightened his clothes, and then immediately moved in another direction.

This so-called project team meeting must not be held.

By hacking files and interrogating "Xu Yi", most of his information was revealed, including his main interpersonal relationships and daily schedule.

At the same time, in order to avoid exposing professional knowledge, Flashing Star searched for basic information and frequently asked questions about Xu Yi's research direction, and stuffed them together to create a Q\u0026A AI question for Song Shi to memorize - this was what Song Shi answered just now. The reason for the other party’s first question.

But there is only the first one. Once you go deeper, I am afraid that the secret will be exposed immediately.

Simply put, human conversations are often inherently ambiguous.

"——Wait a minute, this is not a place you can enter."

He looked at the man who was walking straight towards him, ignoring him. He was not a tall man, but he could be said to be burly. He took a step forward and blocked the opponent's front.

Behind him was the "atrium" area of ​​the First Research Institute, which was not accessible to ordinary researchers.

"Huh? The director asked me to go to his office to get something." Song Shi frowned: "What do you mean?"

The security guard's artificial eyes lit up and scanned the person in front of him: "I only know that you don't have enough authority, and I haven't received any notification here."

"It's just a verbal matter. If everything was done according to the standards, this institute would have stopped operating long ago-are you still planning to let me fill out an application form first?"

Song Shi shook his head.

Looking at the man who still had no intention of giving way, his expression became obviously impatient: "Okay, no problem, then you can ask the director now."

"Why do I ask?" The other party said subconsciously.

"The director has already given it to me, but it's a pity that you don't believe it, right?" Song Shi said coldly: "Hurry up, I have to go back to the group meeting before the director finishes preparing."

"Who is the director of your project?"

"Helin Nick, the director of the third department of the Department of Biology."

Hearing this name, the security guard's hand suddenly stopped moving.

Hiss.

Even he had heard of the old man's brain-dead temper. In addition, a group meeting was about to start, so it was no wonder that this man insisted on asking him to ask, but.

Of course, he understood that rules were rules, and implementation was another matter. This situation had indeed happened before - but most of the premises were that both parties knew each other well, so they opened a back door.

"What do you want to take?" he asked.

"A data card that records the parameters of the enzymatic protein No. X-II-5." Song Shi asked back: "Do I need to explain again what this thing is used for?"

The security guard was choked, but he didn't take it seriously. He was obviously used to this type of researcher.

He glanced at the other patrol security guards in the hall behind him, pondered for a moment, and said slowly.

"You only have fifteen minutes."

"It won't take that long."

Song Shi replied, and then walked into the aisle that the other party had given up.

"Wait a minute."

But after walking a few steps, the other party suddenly spoke and walked quickly towards Song Shi.

"I almost forgot, where is your employee ID?"

Song Shi sighed deeply, took out a magnetic card from his jacket pocket and handed it to the other party.

The security guard took the magnetic card, swiped it on his right prosthesis, looked at the displayed "Xu Yi" and "corresponding affiliated department", and finally nodded.

"Xu Yi...Okay, remember to come back as soon as possible."

Three minutes later, in a corridor that was temporarily empty.

[What's the situation on your side? ]

After a short noise, Harold on the other end connected to the communication. Using the brain-computer interface to directly write text and then perform voice conversion, an emotionless voice sounded in Song Shi's radio headset.

[I am a security guard, patrolling the atrium...Nandou, I have found an elevator to the basement]

[But the guards over there are too strict, I dare not get too close, what about you? ]

[That's enough... It's enough to enter the atrium. The rest of the way can't be done with just a little more cleverness]

[Harold, you can use the backup plan, notify the Enlightened One outside to start the attack immediately]

[... What is your plan? ]

[Tell me the location of the elevator, and I need you to get as close to it as possible]

The blood flowing through his body began to surge again, and the red-gold flame rose from his heart.

Song Shi stretched his body for the last time and began to step forward:

[You are more suitable for the infiltration operation and information search later than me]

[So, it's time to divide the work]

[You are responsible for finding out the location of the main engine in the basement]

[And I...]

[——I am responsible for taking you in]
