Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

May 4, 2216

6 a.m.

Alpha climbed out of bed. The other three women in the dormitory were already standing respectfully, helping Alpha make the bed.

"No, thank you very much."

Although Alpha said no, the three of them still tried their best to help Alpha clean up.

"Master Alpha, you are leaving today, and we want to see you off."

Alpha smiled and nodded. The three roommates also came here for disciplinary work for violating the Public Security Management Law. During this period, Alpha helped them a lot. Today, Alpha has worked at the Eastern Farm for half a year.

Soon Alpha was carrying a box containing his personal belongings, holding a light and shadow bracelet, and quickly changed into his uniform. The three women looked at Alpha in amazement.

"thank you all!"

When Alpha said and walked to the door, the three of them bowed and she waved. Many people in the dormitory got up. Although it was still very early before work, there were still 2 hours, but there were a large number of people this morning. They all gathered in the cafeteria.

Alpha walked all the way, and many people followed him happily. In the past six months, Alpha got to know many people and learned more about the real situation of the people at the bottom.

Clark and Natasha were already waiting in the square outside the dormitory. Watching Alpha come out, they took some council officers to greet him.

Another takeoff and landing aircraft from Division 5 had arrived 10 minutes ago. Gil came to pick up Alpha alone, but he didn't come out. Instead, he came here half an hour early and fell asleep again.

"Chief Alpha!"

Clark held a signed document indicating the end of disciplinary labor. Alpha raised his finger and signed his name on it. Natasha next to him handed Alpha a thick salary bag.

But Alpha didn't take it.

"Natasha, please help me send it to Whit when you are free."

Natasha was a little surprised. Alpha smiled and lit a cigarette, and then walked quickly to the lift. She was not going to work, but to go to Mo Xiaolan's home.

"It's true!"

Clark smiled helplessly, looking at the minor criminals in front of him who were under the supervision of Section 12 and only needed disciplinary labor. Everyone cheered. In just six months, Alpha has caused a lot of things here. Come.

Many people admired Alpha from the bottom of their hearts, and Natasha smiled easily.

"There have been too many cases in the city recently, and there are more and more voices calling on Alpha to go back and clean up everything."

Clark hummed.

"Please have your meal in an orderly manner and take a rest before getting ready for work."

The helicopter has slowly taken off, and Gil is still sleeping. Alpha can tell that he must be really tired recently. Now Gil is handling everything in Section 5.

Alpha adjusted the speed of the take-off and landing machine, and soon the take-off and landing machine moved rapidly towards the upper level.

6:35 am

Mo Yingying had just made some breakfast, and then brought a bowl of hot porridge to the door of Mo Xiaolan's bedroom on the second floor of her home. She knocked on the door, but there was no response. She smiled helplessly, opened the door and left. Got in.

A strong smell of alcohol filled the room. Mo Xiaolan was fast asleep. The room was still very messy, with things scattered all over the floor.

It has been nearly half a year, and Mo Xiaolan has been living a life of confusion every day, drinking every day, and then falling asleep when she is drunk. The sudden death of her father has caused a big blow to her.

On the day of the incident, Mo Xiaolan was handling an economic crime. In the final stage of arrest, the call was directly blocked by Section 2.

Mo Xiaolan never believed that his father died suddenly. He felt that something was wrong, so he called Hua Shen to help with a direct autopsy. The result was still the same, consistent with the hospital's examination results.

Looking at her daughter who was getting depressed day by day, Mo Yingying was always a little bit regretful, because it was no one's fault. It was indeed because the construction project taken over by the Angus family was too huge. Mo Xiaolan's father, as the Angus family company, The head of the planning department here has put all his efforts into work in the past three years, while Mo Yingying is also very busy helping the Angus family deal with logistical issues.

After her daughter started to lock herself in her room when she came home, Mo Yingying resigned from some positions to stay with her daughter at home.

Mo Yingying didn't know what to do. She once called Alpha, who told her not to worry about her for the time being. She had to let her adapt to this matter, rather than others letting her adapt.

Mo Yingying was cleaning up the room quietly, when Mo Xiaolan moved and opened her eyes.

"What's wrong, little lazy boy, are you hungry? If you are hungry, there is porridge. You'd better drink some before going back to sleep."

At this time, Mo Xiaolan got up.

"My dad didn't die in a normal way!"

Mo Yingying's face looked a little sad for a moment. She knew that her daughter was unwilling to accept her father's death. In fact, there was another reason. Hua Shen detected a certain degree of chemical changes in her husband's body after contact with her body. Although the particles are very rare, and we don’t know what this substance is, because it is a very small amount of residue, it is almost difficult to detect. The reaction time is too long, and it has long disappeared without a trace in the metabolism of the human body. It is also difficult to prove this. What is the direct connection between this substance and sudden death?

"Little lazy! Mom, I hope you"

"You believe me! Mom."

Mo Xiaolan said and stood up unsteadily. She took a glass of wine from the table and planned to drink it, but Mo Yingying snatched the wine from Mo Xiaolan's hand.

"When will you admit the reality?"

Mo Xiaolan was stunned. She kept shaking her head. In the past few months, she had been thinking about everything before her father's accident. In the end, she came to only one conclusion: There was something wrong with the Hillman family.

Because my father often had work handovers with people from the Hillman family, and would often drink and dine together, the position of director of the planning department has now been replaced by someone from the Hillman family.

"Mom, this is not reality. I know very well that I am not crazy. I am definitely connected to the Hillman family. In the past four months, there have been a total of 4 engineering accidents. If you include my dad, it is 5."

Mo Yingying didn't know how to tell her daughter that those engineering accidents were indeed very sad. More than 10 people in the Angus family were involved in engineering accidents and died. Alpha's cousin Luo Virtue is one of them.

Due to the huge amount of work, some subcontracting engineering companies have neglected some details in order to speed up the progress, which eventually led to accidents at the construction site. Currently, some construction has been suspended because the problems encountered in reality are very difficult. , not only members of the Angus family, but also members of the Hillman family died suddenly, and three people were involved in the accident and died.

"Mom, believe me, those people who died in the Hillman family were all incompetent people who did nothing. They were like moths a long time ago, doing whatever they wanted under the cute voices of the Angus family."

Mo Yingying's eyes widened.

"That's enough, lazy boy!"

Mo Xiaolan was still trying to explain everything, but Mo Yingying had already started crying and she was holding her daughter.

"Don't think about it anymore, Xiao Lazy, I only want you."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, and both mother and daughter looked towards the door.

"Sorry, lazy boy, I'm late!"

Alpha appeared at the door, and Mo Xiaolan immediately pursed his lips, cried and rushed towards Alpha.

All the unwillingness and sadness in her heart turned into tears. Mo Yingying stood up and wiped away her tears. Alpha nodded towards her.

"Little lazy boy, it's okay."

Alpha picked up Mo Xiaolan, who was still crying, walked over and opened the curtains, hugged her quietly, and patted her back from time to time.

His parents had come many times, but to no avail. Mo Xiaolan was still in the room and refused to come out. Alpha didn't go because he was not allowed to leave the farm in the east during the labor punishment period.

After a while, Mo Xiaolan's mood calmed down a little. Alpha lit a cigarette and sat on the window edge.

"Tell me, little lazy boy, what do you want to tell me?"

"Alfa, be sure to pay attention to the Hillman family, they have no good intentions."

As he spoke, Mo Xiaolan directly brought up a light and shadow screen, wiped away his tears, and began to explain to Alpha the connection between his father's affairs and the four accidents that had occurred in the past four months. These connections seemed logical, but But it seems a bit far-fetched.

Alpha couldn't tell, but she believed in Mo Xiaolan.

"This is not my delusional Alpha, worse things will happen, you believe me."

"I believe you are lazy! What do you want me to do?"

Mo Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and she shook her head, because even she didn't know what to do. There was no evidence that the Hillman family planned something that caused these accidents.

"Go back to Section 2, convince those three guys, and then your Section 2 will investigate. I will provide you with some help."

Mo Xiaolan looked at Alpha in surprise.

"Do you really believe me Alpha!"

Alpha smiled and nodded.

"How many years have we known each other, Xiaolan!"

Mo Xiaolan leaned over, and her uncontrollable emotions got out of control again. She threw herself into Alpha's arms and started sobbing silently. Alpha exhaled a puff of smoke.

Over the years, she has never given up on some investigations into the Hillman family. Alpha will carefully review all events related to the Hillman family, and will visit the scene from time to time.

"I don't believe what you said about logical connections, lazy guy."

Mo Xiaolan raised his head while sobbing. Alpha looked out the window with solemn eyes at the sunshine in Mo's back garden, and smiled bitterly.

"It's the feeling, that crime family! They don't know how many things they have done over the years, but these things are invisible in the sun, and even difficult to detect in the dark. These things may only exist in the dark."

Alpha said, stood up and put his hands on Mo Xiaolan's shoulders.

"No matter what it is! As long as I find a shred of evidence, I will definitely break into Hillman's house."

"There is immunity."

Alpha laughed.

"This has nothing to do with immunity. Someone has to do it. Otherwise, when the crime is really exposed, everything will be over."

8 o'clock in the morning

Eddie looked at the family children in class quietly.

"Everyone! Please study by yourself today until I come back. Uncle, I have important things to deal with."

At this time a child stood up and laughed sinisterly.

"Uncle, can't you let us help?"

Many children around him stood up one after another, and Eddie raised his hands and waved.

"It's not your time yet, you just need to study hard!"

Eddie left the classroom and walked quietly on the family lawn. At this time, a bunch of family members gathered in the living room on the first floor to talk and laugh. After Eddie entered, all the sounds stopped suddenly and he smiled. Then he turned around and went upstairs.

Soon when he came to the door of the office, he pressed the wall on the left with one hand. After the wall melted like mud, an elevator appeared. After Eddie entered the elevator, the wall returned to its original state.

The elevator went down little by little and stopped after a minute. In an underground metal hall, columnar bodies looked like twisted spores, flashing with red dots of different colors.

"How's the situation, Mr. X?"

Eddie watched quietly as Less machinery.

"The situation is still not stable."

X sighed.

"This is already the 107th person to fail."

Eddie said leisurely, and X laughed.

"Are you doubting me?"

Eddie immediately waved his hand.

"I'm not doubting you, Mr. X, I'm doubting some of the guys behind you."

For a time, more than 20 people in the room were panicked. Eddie walked towards a young mechanical engineering scientist, and he immediately shook his head.

"Master Eddie, I really don't."

boom

Accompanied by a burst of explosions,

"Our family does not need useless waste. In 107 experiments, he made 369 mistakes."

X understood instantly. At this time, with a ball of flame falling on the ground, Prometheus appeared.

"The correct approach is Mr. Eddie. According to my calculations, his useless rate has risen to 91%."

At this time, Prometheus looked at the other people. As beams of light shone, a percentage appeared above a person's head. The largest one was 67%, and the smallest one was 31%.

Eddie clapped his hands and said.

"Everyone, please remember, if your useless rate exceeds 85%, your head will explode!"

Eddie laughed evilly. In recent years, X has become somewhat unclear about whether the guy in front of him is Eddie or Prometheus.

"Come with me, Mr. X."

The two left the underground laboratory and came to a room with light and shadow screens on all four walls.

"Whose turn is next?"

Eddie said, and soon three people appeared on the light and shadow screen. One of them, whom X knew, was Liuli, and the other two men should be members of the Hillman family. Which part of the Hillman family are they currently managing? It has been clearly listed.

"Is the route set?"

Soon another light and shadow screen appeared, and soon some members of the Angus family appeared. Liuli would have dinner with two members of the Angus family tonight to discuss the areas they were responsible for.

"Tonight there will be a psychotic mutant who kills people with a knife! There is nothing we can do about it. He has lost his job, his wife is also having an affair with another man, and the child died in an accident last year! There is nothing we can do about it. As for the innocent citizens who were involved, I’m really sorry!”

X felt his brain was numb.

"Are you crazy Eddie!"

Eddie shook his head.

"I'm not crazy. Hatred is very important to everyone who has a bad life. The wealth in the city has been divided between the Hillman family and the Angus family. Because of their construction, we have lived in a state of ruin. It’s not good!”

X looked at Eddie blankly.

"And there are too many useless people in our family now. The Chen family is not happy when Liuli marries her. She often causes trouble for me. What's the use of such a woman? Anyone who stands in front of our Hillman family will be No, they will serve as sacrifices for this plan to seize the Angus family, and they will be considered as contributing to the Hillman family."

At this time, another light and shadow panel appeared, and X was surprised for a moment.

"Is it just 4 short months?"

Eddie nodded.

"In just four short months, we have earned 15.67 million from the Angus family, which is great, isn't it?"

"An investigation has been launched."

Eddie nodded.

"The investigation will be directed to those dishonest subcontracting companies that have nothing to do with our Hillman family. Mr.

"This approach will only"

Eddie stood up suddenly, and the moment he turned around, he put a hand on X's shoulder.

"Sacrifice and blood are essential. If you want to achieve everything, you can only seize the weaknesses of the gods. They just want to build the city as soon as possible and lift mankind to the next era, and for this they You’ve put in too much effort, do you know why?”

X shook his head, and Eddie shook his head too.

"I don't know either. The gods' obsession created this city, and I used this obsession to seize the entire city. It makes sense, doesn't it?"

Eddie is really crazy. In X's eyes, he has completely become a complete lunatic. In X's eyes, seizing the city is just Eddie's reason and excuse to fill the darkness in his heart. He wants to It's just a feeling, a feeling that can be above everything, not bound by anything, and can control everything.

“Mr. "

X stared at the light and shadow screen quietly. During this period, too many crimes had occurred in the city. What shocked X was that the fruits of these crimes had been planted many years ago. Now with this When the construction project started, the fruits also started to grow. This intricate criminal relationship finally led to only one place, and during the construction, everything from the Angus family was completely taken away.

"Okay Mr.

"Then what if I fail to live up to your expectations of me!"

Eddie laughed and shook his head.

"Then there is only one outcome, destruction!"

With a smile in X's eyes, Eddie finally said what was true in his heart. The cooperative relationship in the past has become the relationship between master and servant. He has been tied up by Eddie, but soon X nodded. Bowed.

"Of course, Eddie, I will definitely respond to your expectations."

As he spoke,

X saw everything, he didn't look back, his brain was in a state of excitement, he was neither a fool nor a fool.

"It's true, every time it's critical, my memory can always be revived!"

X took off his mask, took out a bottle of engine oil from his pocket, and poured it into the spirally opened mechanical mouth.

X has already made all preparations. He has already collected too many incriminating evidences about the Hillman family. No matter which one it is, they are all dead. However, X does not intend to expose these incriminating evidences now. After all, he He doesn't want the city to fall, but plans to wait until the project is completed and collect more evidence to give it all to Alpha Angus.

X knew what kind of character Eddie was. He was somewhat similar to his past self, but it was just a similarity. He had lived for many years longer than Eddie. In his time, X had seen such childish things. This is a cruel and bloody fact.

The awakening of Prometheus indeed surprised The unknown AI system, at least not AI1, is even more terrifying.

X knew very well that he had established a connection with those AIs in the virtual network. They wanted to obtain some information from him and also wanted to continue to evolve, so they were able to have no reaction to Prometheus and even helped him. Busy, because they also want to get something from Prometheus and continue to evolve.

X knows that as long as the Hillman family falls, the Angus family, which has been devastated over the years, will definitely get everything in their family. The Angus family is different from the Hillman family. They are kind. As long as they take advantage of this, Angus family The Gus family can continue to change the city and make it develop more efficiently.

It is inevitable for mankind to enter the era of mechanization, and the era of mechanization will inevitably be accompanied by the advent of the era of virtualization.

"Many things have been decided for a long time. Even if there are certain deviations now, the result is still the same! If the illusion is too serious, it will be difficult to break away from it, Eddie! This is an illusion weaved by me. "

Eddie was holding a glass of wine quietly, still admiring the plan set by Prometheus. For so long, there was almost no trace of what Prometheus had done. Success after success made Eddie If you know what you should do, you can completely capture everything.

Eddie has already constructed a huge plan in his heart. What needs to be achieved in the end is to drive away the gods and let people take over everything. This is what people need and the rights that people should have. And if you are in a In this case, the gods have lost their status in the hearts of the people. Naturally, they will not be respected by others, but will only be cast aside.

As for that guy , as long as he finds it, Eddie knows very well that he can squeeze the last bit of mechanical technology from X.

"Am I going to lose Prometheus!"

Prometheus soon appeared in the form of a ball of fire.

"No, Lord Eddie! The success rate of your plan is now over 85%. As long as you capture the Angus family, the success rate of your plan will reach 99.99999%. The probability is impossible to reach 100%, but But the number 9 after the decimal point will extend infinitely, infinitely close to one hundred percent!"

Eddie stood up, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, raised his hands crazily, and was immersed in his own world, his face filled with happiness.

"can we start!"

9:11 am

"Niya, you can do it, there's no need to run away."

Niya squinted at the physical education teacher. She walked out of the student team and looked triumphantly at a bunch of girls who were almost exhausted.

"Oh, my dear ladies! You are really..."

Before Niya could finish her words, suddenly a girl in the school's team suddenly fell to the ground. Her face turned pale and she clutched her chest in pain.

Niya had already ran over, picked up the girl and ran to the medical room.

"Doctor, help save people quickly."

Niya put down the female voice on her back, but at this time the girl was already motionless, clutching her chest with a distorted expression.

A few minutes later, the doctor in the infirmary looked at the dead girl in horror, and Niya stared at everything in front of her.

"Why is it so good all of a sudden?"

The physical education teacher at the door looked livid at this time. He knew that this girl was the apple of a medium-sized family under the Angus family. For a moment, everyone didn't know what to do. There were already some girls who were close to her crying at the door. got up.

Both Ivy and Leona were a little surprised. Niya moved so quickly, but it was still too late. Several doctors in the medical room had already called the 4th and 5th departments.

The school became chaotic. Niya stood quietly outside the medical room and squatted in the corridor. She felt a little uncomfortable. She could not imagine what the parents of this classmate would look like after seeing the body of their child. , what mood.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have"

Leona squatted next to Nia.

"Didn't you do what you should do?"

Niya hummed, stood up and walked out, looking into the distance with a blank expression.
