Ji Xiaoman's hands that were attached to the prosthetic limb were like steel insects. To be fair, they are less like normal human hands, more like deformations based on hand bones. The metal fingers are thin and sharp, but she can even twist a needle with them. Joints filled with delicate parts slide silently, and the pile of metal seems to have life.

Right now she was holding a distorted metal ruler and drawing on the slightly dirty paper. After a sentence was thrown for nearly ten seconds without a response, Ji Xiaoman raised his head again and looked at Ruan Xian who was silent.

The young female shopkeeper was originally short and didn't like to look up at people, so she had to roll her eyes. Her facial features are said to be delicate and beautiful, but because of this habit, she is a little gloomy, giving people a very unfriendly feeling.

"My purpose is very personal, I don't want to say it. In short, I won't do anything bad, and I can't be worse than Qian Yigeng." She said dreamily, putting the leaky pen on the table. . "I understand if I don't agree, it's not an easy job."

"Create anyone." Ruan Xian chewed on the sentence thrown by Ji Xiaoman.

"Yes, as long as you have sufficient information. It's similar to forging an oil painting." Ji Xiaoman's voice became lower, and the little joy that had just appeared vanished. "If you don't do this business, hurry up. It's not too long for more than a week. Let's go."

"Let's take a look first." Yu Le immediately found a way for himself, "This requirement should always be counted."

This time Ji Xiaoman didn't lift his head, just nodded.

"Then there is a place to live around here?" Yu Le rubbed his hands together and made a warm look again. "Sister, look, we are not familiar with each other"

Ji Xiaomanli ignored him.

"Tsk, little girl." Yu Le angrily returned to the car and lay down halfway in the driver's seat. "Not flattering at all."

"We can't live in the car all the time. It's too conspicuous here. It's only a matter of time before we get caught." Ruan Xian shook his head.

In these days, people don't carefully verify whether there are real materials in the car, as long as they believe it has, it will not be a problem to shoot. Just like Tang Yibu's golden eyes that may lead to danger, facts always become powerless in the face of imagination.

Ruan Xian didn't mind releasing the devil in his heart and guessing everything in the dark.

Tang Yibu took a step back and jumped into the car, Tie Zhuzi screamed and jumped to the top of Tang Yibu's head familiarly. The android sat on the seat and held a half can of canned food in his hand, but he didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to eat.

"Why don't you go back to Midtown?" Yu Le, who was lying on his side, opened a packet of compressed biscuits and kicked the steering wheel with his feet. "Seriously, you two really don't plan to try it? It's just stealing something. You two have the ability to make trouble under Fan Baiyan's eyes. This trivial matter is nothing to worry about. Fix the car as soon as possible, and I will be able to lead you to the Rebel Ruins as soon as possible. , we can also break up early."

"I want to stay here." Ruan Xian didn't look at Yu Le, he stared at his white coat, which had been dyed beyond recognition.

A delicate plastic button was embedded in the white coat, and the holes in the stitching were filled with dried blood and dirt. Time passed. Technology had come to the front of his cognition, but other things had not changed in hundreds of years.

He fiddled with the dirty button with his fingertips, "Steal or not, I want to find out about Qian Yigeng."

In any case, intelligence is necessary.

Even if they didn't plan to accept that absurd request, they would need to spend more than a week in this labyrinth-like city, and it would be good to get more news here. Judging from the curfew rules, Midtown may not be safer than here, and the lingering poisonous fog can restrict the activities of some people.

On the other hand, if Qian Yigeng really came into contact with another "Ruan Xian"

"Okay, then I'll go buy a concealment net first and hide the car. I just saw one in the store, and I don't believe that little girl can keep silent." Yu Le yawned. "That kid Tu Rui actually wants Lao Tzu to live here for a year and a half. It's no different from being in jail. It's better to hang out in the sea of ​​ruins. At least the air is good."

Tang Yibu didn't participate in the conversation.

Since Ji Xiaoman explained the purpose of the thing, the android didn't say a word. He held the can solemnly and frowned slightly, as if he had encountered a problem in life. The scene could have been more serious if it wasn't for the iron bead making a meaningless murmur above his head.

Ruan Xian subconsciously wanted to ask him "what's the matter", but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. Their relationship was a little too far, and he didn't want to make it any more difficult.

Resisting temptation in the first place is always the best way to resist temptation.

"I'm with Mr. Ruan." After being silent for a long time, Tang Yibu pulled the iron beads from his head into his arms. He didn't give a reason, just held Ruan Xian's clothes corner with one hand.

"Don't be afraid that I will run away" Yu Le raised his eyebrows.

"You didn't show any signs of lying just now, you want to repair this car." Tang Yibu held the can slightly deformed, "We know where to find you."

"Okay, okay." Yu Le yawned again. "I'll take care of our Miss Ice Cube. When you two finish your work, remember to come and find me nearby. Now that I'm going to sleep, what should you two do?"

Ruan Xian pulled back the half-face gas mask, stuffed some rations into his pocket, and pinned two conspicuous guns to himself. He jumped out of the car and plunged into the mist. Tang Yibu followed Ruan Xian closely, and the iron beads running around beside him swallowed the smog, looking in a good mood.

They walked out about ten meters, and Yu Le and the armored off-road vehicle were engulfed by the fog. Only all kinds of lights and projections are particularly clear in the fog, like a fantasy with cheap special effects. Moans and teasing came from the gloomy building, mixed with a lot of crying and screaming.

Dark and sticky environment. Unlike the sea of ​​ruins, Ruan Xian didn't feel nervous anymore, and the composition of being close to "society" gave him a strange sense of security in returning to the shadows. He walked through the capillary-like cluttered alley and walked towards the place where the voices were the most dense. Since Qian Yigeng was the leader of the gang, it was definitely not feasible to ask anyone casually. He needs to choose his prey carefully, and people will inadvertently spread all kinds of information in the air anyway.

The building in front of it vaguely looks like a market.

Unlike the primitive settlements like the Sea of ​​Ruins, the shops here retain their display windows. Countless glass windows are crowded together, and many beautiful bodies, almost naked, are scratching their heads and posing behind the windows, both men and women. They stand in different environmental projections, their eyes are blurred, and all skin and hair colors are complete. Others were dyed bright, unnatural colors and had metal studs embedded in their lips.

They have only one thing in common, they both have beautiful golden eyes and don't look tired.

Ruan Xian could hear the heartbeats of those people, no matter what was in their heads, those bodies were undoubtedly human. He stopped in front of one of the windows, where a young girl was slapping the glass naked, her golden eyes full of fear and pleading.

And on the thick glass where she was imprisoned was a note "Program effect, please don't take it seriously."

The girl is very short, and her skeleton still retains the characteristics of a teenager. Ruan Xian can't even judge whether she is an adult. The scenes started to make him uncomfortable, and the man leaning against the door clearly misunderstood his gloomy face.

The man was wearing a garish shirt that hung sloppily at the hem and was studded with fish-scale sequins. The hair is also dyed colorful, which is unappetizing, like a flower peacock that only suffers from skin diseases.

"If the customer wants it, you can choose whatever you want. You can choose your age, appearance, and body shape. There is always something you want." The man took a breath and slowly exhaled yellowish smoke. "The best imitation electronic brain on the market will never have a response time of more than three seconds, which is different from those junk that will crash."

He exhaled again, and glanced casually at Tang Yibu behind Ruan Xian, "Yo, he still has a pet. I'm sorry buddy, we don't serve men in this shop."

Ruan Xian didn't speak, he looked at the girl in the window again. Tears were rolling down her cheeks, and she slapped the glass hard at him with a "help" mouth. A conspicuous inscription of a copper coin was branded on her left arm.

"Oh, that model is our store's signboard. Sweet q2. It's very pitiful, many people like this tune." The man was excited when he found that Ruan Xian didn't mean to leave. "We also have a well-behaved and obedient type, but there are not as many guests as this one. If you want to add some fun, we can set her a special title for you, such as"

"Your shop is not big." Ruan Xian interrupted the man's chatter.

"I can't say that. In the past, those special restaurants also limited the number of guests for better service. I only accept one person at a time here. The environment and scene settings can be selected arbitrarily, but this price"

"Really, why do I think the business here is not good? I'll take a look. Without a guarantee, who would dare to let go."

The three characters "Idle" are projected at the entrance of the store, and fancy special effects are also added. With the reflection of those three words, Ruan Xian found an exquisite copper coin inscription on the door of the store, which was exactly the same as the one on the girl's left arm.

"I'm a shop under Boss Qian, have you heard of Boss Qian?" Seeing the cooked duck flapping its wings, Hua Peacock was a little anxious. "You can't find such a realistic character anywhere else. The fringe stores are full of junk like inflatable dolls. My health is also guaranteed. Boss Qian wants us to disinfect every day."

"I'm relieved if you say that." Ruan Xian lifted his foot and walked into the shop with ambiguous decoration. The man smiled clearly, snapped his fingers, and the "idle" at the door changed to "reception".

The shop was lit with greasy incense. Ruan Xian didn't take off his gas mask. He smelled the ingredients of the medicine from the incense. Countless light screens squeezed the originally small space even more suffocating, and different environmental scenes and girls' clothes were displayed on it.

"The environment and the price of the character are marked. A well-maintained gun with ten rounds of ammunition can play a mid-range common type. Three guns can be exciting, as long as they don't kill them, we will cover medical care. If If you can come up with some good things for the town scene, it's okay to kill or take away, oh, take off the gas mask, it's okay, we have filtered the air."

Seeing Ruan Xian stepping over the threshold, Hua Peacock was more attentive than before. From beginning to end, he didn't look at Tang Yibu who was following Ruan Xian, as if Ruan Xian was just leading a dog or a cat.

Ruan Xian let out a sigh of relief and slowly took off the mask, the flower peacock's eyes lit up.

"Sir's face is really nice, so let's see, you fit my eyes." Then he turned his eyes to Tang Yibu, and his eyes brightened. "Your taste is not bad. Come on for the first time, I'll give you one less gun. Two guns, just play, what do you think? No, one gun is enough for 30 bullets, and we will also give you a member Champagne."

"Okay." Ruan said succinctly. "Just the girl outside."

"Chengcheng, you choose an environment. She will never let you down."

"Let's get you the best seller." Ruan Xian slapped the gun on his waist on the counter, "I'll give the bullets when I see someone."

"Then you can wait here for ten minutes. I'll go get ready." Hua Peacock smiled, and hunched over to guide them into a small room with complicated and vulgar decoration, and gently closed the door.

"What are your plans?" The man closed the door with his front foot, and Tang Yi asked with his back foot. "You haven't shown any signs of sexual arousal from just now."

"Have you even observed this?" Ruan Xian's face stiffened, and he squeezed out a sentence between his teeth.

Tang Yibu looked innocent, "This door is soundproof, that person can't hear it."

"It's not about the sound insulation." Ruan Xian wiped his face, "When he comes over again, we'll start directly. This person knows about Qian Yigeng."

"Then it was more appropriate to start just now." Tang Yibu seemed to have recovered a little from the unexplained depression.

"His enthusiasm is not very natural." Ruan Xian tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingertips, "If there is a discount for the first time, he should say it outside. It's a fraud, shh first."

The general soundproof door can't block the detection of the S-type initial machine at all.

"I've come across two good ones. They have a raw face and oily water. One of them is still a android. If it's a good old-fashioned electronic brain, we'll send it." Hua Peacock seemed to be in contact with someone, and his voice was very pressing Low. "As soon as you see it, you will know, first-class samples, Boss Qian, didn't tell us to make some new models in time? Don't talk nonsense, get a car over here. Look, it's definitely different from the previous few times. Boss Qian will definitely approve it."

"It seems we can't go back tonight." Ruan Xian twitched the corners of his mouth, "I hope Yu Le doesn't think we ran away."

"No." Tang Yibu gestured at the iron bead for a while and let it out of the window.

The iron beads squeezed hard through the wire, making a rapid rattling sound.

"It's okay, go back and tell Yu Le immediately, be obedient." Tang Yibu took out a pen from his pocket, wrote something on the wrapping paper of the candy can, and stuffed it into the gap of the iron bead shell. Tie Zhuzi rubbed Tang Yibu's hand reluctantly, and then bit off the plastic pen holder.

"It's ready." Just as the entangled iron beads disappeared on the other side of the window, the flower peacock returned to the room again. "Sir, come with me, do you want to deposit the android or"

"He followed me."

"Yes, yes." Hua Peacock's expression twitched, "Champagne is placed by the bedside, be careful not to break it. Next time, there will be a charge, oh, take-out is not allowed."

"Of course." Ruan Xian grabbed Tang Yibu's wrist. "We'll never miss it, right, baby"
