The "HOPE" bar at night, just like the name, gives people the hope of indulging.In a storefront in a deep alley in the downtown area, the light box has been cracked, and it can be vaguely seen that there is an advertisement for discounted drinks on it. Only the cash register is like a wraith in the dark, faintly emitting blue light.

Deng Huailing stopped in front of the cash register, and its small interface showed that it was two minutes past midnight.He stared at it for a few seconds, rolled up his right sleeve, and aimed at the blue light with the chip embedded in his wrist——

"2000 credits have been successfully paid." A bright red rose floated on the screen, and the moment it bloomed, the words "-2000" appeared between the stamens.

"Identity verification passed, A+ grade bounty hunter, Huailing DENG, over 18 years old, welcome to HOPE bar, I wish you a pleasant night. Cypriot style, unique enjoyment, special drinks in this bar..."

With a "bang", Deng Huailing strode past the machine and shut the door of the chattering advertisement.Behind the dusty glass doors was a corridor, and there was a faint noise.HOPE, as a place for hunters to gather information and meet, has extremely strict identity restrictions. Only adult bounty hunters with a rank of B or above are allowed to enter. In order to prevent unrelated people from prying eyes, an inconspicuous barrier was specially set up.

It was his first time here, but he had heard of this place countless times, so he was familiar with it.A ray of light leaked from the crack of the door, he stretched out his hand to push the door, the heavy metal music hit like a big wave, it shocked his face, the sound of talking, cursing, and flirting filled the dim bar, Deng Huailing raised his eyebrows, and wentGo to the bar and sit down.

"Good evening, what do you want?" The waitress raised her head and gave him a skillful smile, then her expression froze, "You, you seem a little familiar..."

"Really," said Deng Huailing nonchalantly, "Let's face the public."

He looked up and looked at the holographic wine list suspended in mid-air for a while: "A cup of rose honey tea."

"No...no, you're joking, I will never forget any handsome bounty hunter, I definitely met him somewhere," the waitress ignored his order at all, and said excitedly to herself, "Which one is it? It doesn't look very familiar... Oh! You are Mr. Deng!"

She crossed her hands and clapped her hands suddenly, "The bounty hunter who is not yet 18 years old and has an A+, I have seen your photo!"

She shouted so loudly that an instant commotion erupted in the bar."That hunter from A+?" "He's coming??" "Can underage kids come in too?"

"To be precise, I became an adult three minutes ago." Deng Huailing said impatiently, "So my tea..."

"Sorry, I'll prepare it for you right away!" The waitress apologized, glanced at him again, and turned away hastily.Sitting on a high stool, he vaguely heard someone talking behind him, so he simply turned his head and scanned the audience.

His gaze seemed to be deterrent, and the hunters who had glanced at this side all lowered their heads.Behind the dilapidated signboard, there is a hole in the sky. This is a large bar, as dark as the bottom of the deep sea, with confusing lights, and the men and women on the dance floor twist like colorful fish.The first floor is fully open, while the second floor has a labyrinth of corridors. Many bounty hunters come and go with the escort girls, and their figures disappear behind the automatic doors.

How to find someone here, Deng Huailing thought lightly, kicking the fans away?

When he wasn't paying attention, shadows enveloped his side, and a rough voice shouted: "Are you that brat who hasn't been weaned?"

Deng Huailing turned his head, and a tall, burly drunk man with blond hair tied in a mess came into view.The man was so tall that he could only see the centipede-like scar on his chest——Deng Huailing's annual physical examination was 189.2cm tall, and his muscle strength was astonishing. However, compared with that man's murderous aura,It's like a plaything in the palm of your hand.

The drunk's voice was like rolling thunder, which alarmed many guests in the bar.The bounty hunters who had lowered their heads looked over secretly again, waiting to see a good show.A+'s Deng messed with "orangutan"?Or did the latter provoke the former?Those in the know quickly realized that this was going to be a big fight, perhaps leveling the bar.

Deng Huailing knocked on the table: "It's my first time to come to HOPE, and I don't want to be blacklisted by the proprietress. I don't know why you pick on me, but I still go out and fight..."

With a bang, he suddenly supported the bar with his hands and used his strength to flip back in the air.The high stool under him was shattered, along with a row of wine glasses.The shards of glass reflected endless cold light, forming a wind around him, blocking all the shards for the waiters behind the bar, "I repeat, go out and fight. There are too many people here."

The other party didn't hear it at all, and punched him hard on the nose again, the punch was so strong that it seemed to cut his cheek.This time the fist did not fall, as if wrapped by an invisible palm, it stopped an inch in front of the tip of Deng Huailing's nose, and he couldn't touch it no matter how hard he tried.

Deng Huailing smiled, and gently turned the black ring on his right index finger.There are dark rings on his index and middle fingers respectively, and as he moves, he draws up a subtle airflow in the air and brushes against the face of the opponent's fist.The man felt the stabbing pain, and when he lowered his head, blood was already gushing out, and the gas blade left a deep gash.

"Before you punch next time, remember to report your family name and reform your brother." Deng Huailing smiled viciously, "Oh no, next time I should draw a thousand such wounds on your body."

He leaned back lazily, crossing his hands on his chest, "You don't really think you can beat me with a metal skeleton, do you... stupid robot?"

"Son of bitch!" The face of the other party was distorted with rage, "Who do you call a robot?"

"I still have a task, so I won't accompany you." Deng Huailing felt bored for a while, pushed the other party away and wanted to leave, when he heard the person behind him yelling: "Bastard! What A+ hunter, you are just a person who will die if you leave those ringsYou jerk! Come and fight with Mort the 'orangutan', guaranteed to blow the shit out of you!"

Deng Huailing turned his back to the "orangutan", and was about to sneer, when he suddenly froze.He took out the communicator from his pocket, slid out a photo, stared at it for a while, and when he turned off the screen, his voice was filled with suppressed excitement: "Who do you say you are?"

"Damn, are you deaf?" Mort cursed, "Master is..."

Before he finished speaking, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a ghostly shadow was reflected in his sight.Deng Huailing dodged in front of him at some point, turned his left hand over, and the white light sank into the power core of his left chest.The huge momentum caused Mort to fly backwards, and finally hit a wall, and the wall ash fell down.

There was a cobweb-like crack on the wall. Deng Huailing pulled out his tactical knife, straightened up and stared at it for a while, then turned to ask the waitress behind the bar: "This wall, you have to pay for it?"

"Yes...ah, no, no!" The waitress waved her hands in horror, backing away again and again.

"Don't be afraid, I will pay whatever you want." Seeing her expressionless face, Deng Huailing explained a few words helplessly, "You should know that the police in Cesina City are just for display, so the government occasionally releases some information to senior hunters.Danger Hunt, that guy happens to be a bounty hunter too, so I'm here to find him—Proprietress won't ban me from now on, will he?"

The waitress was still trembling and couldn't say a word.Mort in the corner made a movement, his whole body made a strange electric sound, and the broken power core flowed out dark blue liquid: "You... Ka... Deng... You must die."

"At present, you are the one who died first." Deng Huailing walked a few steps closer and looked down at him, "I'm curious, have we met before?"

"I hate you, I hate you, I killed... Duane," the reformer said in a low voice, "He's a good guy, so I, at all costs, the metal skeleton...in order to kill you one day."

Deng Huailing was not shaken at all, and even his expression did not fluctuate: "I am very sure that I have never killed innocent people. I don't know if that person is your brother or your friend. I can only regret to say that you have all committed a heinous crime."

"Why?! It can be concluded based on what a person has done..."

"A person can be judged by what he has done," the bounty hunter said coldly, "Yes."

"You're going to die, you're definitely, definitely going to be punished!" Mort cursed viciously, "You're going to hell...cough-cough-crack-crack."

His words were interrupted, and Deng Huailing picked out the power core with a tactical knife and held it in his hand with a grumpy expression.The air in the bar seemed to be frozen, he walked to the bar, stretched out his hand and said, "My tea."

"Okay, okay." The waitress hurriedly served tea.

"May I have your name?"

"Grace, sir."

"Say sorry to the proprietress for me, Grace." Deng Huailing drank the amber honey tea in one breath, and put the cup on the bar.He showed his wrist, paid, and left the bar in full view.

Grace was still staring at the cup of honey tea in a daze, when a reminder popped up on the holographic screen.She glanced at it and took a breath——

The system shows that "HOPE" has just received a payment of 5,000,000 credit points at 0:23, and the payer is Huailing DENG.

Neon covered the street, reflecting in the rain light all over the world.

I forgot that after zero o'clock it is a rainy day, so didn't bring an umbrella.Deng Huailing walked down the street with his hands in his pockets, letting the raindrops hit his head.In fact, when he turned the black ring, a wind barrier would unfold above his head, but he didn't do it because he thought it was troublesome.

After delivering Mort's power core to the government and receiving a bounty of 10 million credits, he was not happy either.That person has committed a heinous crime—a heinous crime, he thought. It is impossible for a person who colluded with the rebel organization "Shu" to kill dozens of civilians to be innocent.

But there is an idea in my heart clamoring: "Why don't you investigate, Deng Huailing? You can investigate the truth of the matter, I'm afraid the truth is not conducive to the morality you usually flaunt, right? You often look indifferent, but I know youcare……"

"Stupid x!" Deng Huailing slammed his fist on the wall, "What's going on at night——"

He paused, because not far away someone was standing in the rain with a black umbrella, looking at him quietly.

Deng Huailing put his left hand on the black ring between his right fingers.

"Don't be so vigilant," the man smiled gently, "I'm Chen Wei from the CyberRose Bionic Human R&D Center, you can call me Dr. Chen. Mr. Deng, I rushed over when I knew you were going to the bar, but when you arrivedIt’s already gone, it’s really easy to find.”

He speaks fluent Chinese, and Cecina, who is the official language in English, is very friendly.

"What did you install on me? A tracking and positioning system?" Deng Huailing sensitively caught the loopholes in the other party's words.He walked very fast, and his anti-tracking awareness was also in place. It was impossible for Chen Wei to catch up with him when he came out of the bar. The only possibility was to predict his trajectory and take a shortcut.

"Well, let's get straight to the point." Dr. Chen still used his words authentically, which shows that his ancestors are also Chinese. "I will tell Mr. Deng a secret. You and I will go to a place."

"You tell me first and I'll think about it later."

"Okay, in fact, the identity chips of all citizens of Cesina are equipped with positioning systems and monitoring systems." Dr. Chen said, "I don't know if this secret is enough to exchange your sincerity."

"..." Deng Huailing narrowed his eyes slightly, and several invisible wind blades were already hanging around Dr. Chen's body, "What do you want me to do?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Mr. Deng may have forgotten that every bounty hunter who has reached the age of 18 will be equipped with an excellent combat bionic man by the government in cooperation with CyberRose."

"Please follow me to the R&D center to claim your loyal and reliable partner." Dr. Chen smiled unpredictablely, at this moment he seemed to be a salesman who emotionally repeated the advertisement, "The past is like smoke, but your life is a flowerRose."
