"I'm sorry, but I can't let you in without a pass." The bionic man receiving visitors at the front desk bowed to Deng Huailing with a polite but firm tone.

"Please contact Chen Wei." Deng Huailing said, "I need to find him now if I have something to do."

"Dr. Chen is not currently in the R&D center, and only accepts meetings by appointment." The front desk answered fluently, "Do you want to make an appointment?"

"It's only ten o'clock in the evening. As far as I know, Chen Wei often spends the night in the laboratory, so it's impossible not to be here." Deng Huailing stared at him.The reception android obviously lied, someone had preprogrammed her to answer so smoothly.

The bionic man showed a standard smile: "Sir, we have received news that there was a terrorist attack in Jinyin Plaza an hour ago, which is only two blocks away from here. For the safety of employees, we have evacuated all staff in the R&D center, includingDr. Chen. There are currently no humans in the building except the guards."

"Well, I want to make an appointment. You won't tell me the latest time is three days away?"

"The latest time slot available for appointment is fifteen days later."

"..." Deng Huailing rested his fingers on the handle of the knife, suddenly wanting to draw it out.He glanced around. The R&D center was heavily guarded. Guards with live ammunition were patrolling the reception hall. The two spider tanks were sleeping quietly, but the infrared camera on the top was on. If he made a move, he might be caught.Shot into a sieve.

So he said, "Make an appointment for me to meet in fifteen days."

The bionic receptionist smiled at him again, "I am happy to serve you, Mr. Deng." She reported a date to him in half a month, and added, "If there is nothing else, the R&D center will be closed.You probably don’t know that the consequences of this terrorist attack are very serious, the mayor has just issued a curfew order, the city is under martial law, and public facilities are closed until 7:00 tomorrow morning, please return to your residence early.”

Of course Deng Huailing knew the consequences of the terrorist attack, but he said nothing, nodded at the bionic man, and walked out of the R&D center.Rosie had followed him in without a word, and now she followed him away, timidly like a child who has made a mistake.

He suddenly felt a sense of wandering, as if he was a divorced father who took his children all the way to find his mother, but was turned away.

It was still raining heavily outside, Deng Huailing was used to scribbling, took off his coat and covered his head before stepping out the door.In a blink of an eye, Rosie was drenched, her hair and eyelashes were dripping with raindrops, she looked embarrassed and pitiful, she hesitated for a moment, then stopped and unfolded the wind barrier.

The rainwater flows along the edge of the wind barrier, covering the head like an invisible umbrella.It seems easy to use the black ring to generate a wind field, but it actually consumes a lot of mental state, so he usually doesn't use it if he can.Deng Huailing thought he must be crazy—Rosie is a bionic person, and he won't catch a cold in the rain, but he still blocked the heavy rain like an idiot.

Rosie froze for a moment, then laughed: "Mr. Deng, thank you."

"You can't follow me anymore." Deng Huailing was unmoved at all, "Wherever you want to go, you can wait for Chen Wei here, or go to other branches of CyberRose, in short, don't stay by my side."

"Is it because I didn't obey your orders?" Rosie looked at him beggingly, "I must be obedient, Mr. Deng, my procedure is correct, please let me continue to serve you, please..."

Deng Huailing sighed: "You are a trouble. I am most afraid of trouble."

"If you are worried about my disobedience, please allow me to explain." Rosie said cautiously, raising her eyes to look at the other person's expression, "That's because of my deep instructions. CyberRose established in my programI have created an identity vault, and when I encounter humans in it, I must kill them. This order takes precedence over all orders from the administrator."

"Identity Vault?" Deng Huailing asked sharply, "What exactly is it, and who is in it?"

"I don't know. The channel is one-way. I can't retrieve the information inside. I can only react after meeting the target."

Deng Huailing was silent for a while, then said helplessly: "I think this trouble is bigger than the previous one, what do you think?"

He's a bounty hunter, and the golden rule in this business is to not be too busy.After all, one who walks between the government and criminals does not belong to any force, so naturally he will not be sheltered; once he gets into trouble, it will only take a moment for him to be wiped out by multiple forces.

The secret of the bionic person in front of him is far beyond what he can understand and control. In order to avoid getting into trouble, the best way is to stay away.

"...I see. If this is your order, I won't follow." Rosie lowered her eyes.

"Thank you." The bounty hunter said cleanly.He took out the communicator to check the arrival time of the public bus, and set off for the nearest platform.Because of the terrorist attack, the subways in the whole city were closed. Currently, only buses are in operation, and there is only the last one left. Deng Huailing's own car did not come.

The wind barrier disappeared as he left Rosie, Deng Huailing forced himself not to look at the other's rain-drenched face, and walked in the opposite direction.There were not many pedestrians on the originally bustling street, and those who hadn't returned home were hurrying in the heavy rain. The moment they stepped onto the platform, a few local hooligans brushed past him, standing out in the bleakness.They chatted happily, as if they were going to take advantage of the chaos to rob.

Deng Huailing didn't pay much attention to those people, until his ears caught words such as "ordered" and "bionic bitch", and immediately turned his head.The platform was not far from where he was just now, and he clearly saw Rosie surrounded by those gangsters, who were screaming and whistling as they approached.

He was furious for no reason, but calmed down quickly.Cecina is full of villains and hooligans, and it is not uncommon to meet them occasionally. Rosie is a combat-type bionic who can pin him to the ground and beat him violently. It is not a problem to deal with a few hooligans.

However, when the bionic man retreated again and again and was forced to shrink into a corner, Deng Huailing suddenly remembered one thing - he seemed to be Rosie's only administrator, without his order, and the combat mode was not turned on, Rosie would not ask anyoneHuman hands.

The leader had purple hair and a tight jacket, and he sprayed smoke on Rosie's face: "Baby, are you interested in going home with my brother to hide from the rain? You see, the curfew is coming soon. How dangerous is it for an android to wander around here?"?” After he finished speaking in a strange voice, his companions burst into laughter, and someone echoed loudly: “Yes, we promise to ‘serve’ you well, hahahaha…”

Rosie shook her head: "I'm not going anywhere, my administrator told me to wait here."

"You still have a master?" The purple-haired gangster pinched his chin and said deliberately, "Then why didn't he show up, little beauty? You must have done something wrong and was abandoned."

Zifa's idea is very simple. At this moment of chaos in the city, this bionic man must be separated from his owner. They just need to coax and scare him away, and after playing for a while, he can be resold to those who provide bionic human sex services.place.The bionic man in front of him has a pitiful appearance, and is the most popular type on the black market, and can be sold for a good price.

Sure enough, Rosie asked, "How do you know...he doesn't want me anymore?"

"Of course I know this, because I'm a human being, and you're a stupid bionic." Purple hair grinned grinningly, and restlessly passed his hands over his neck and chest.It all showed up, "You come with me, shall I take you to find him?"

Deng Huailing stood behind the stop sign with his hands in his pockets. He had never struggled like this before.He really doesn't want to have anything to do with Rosie anymore. Apart from his hatred of bionics, CyberRose's eagerness and the government's ambiguous attitude are very suspicious. Judging from the helicopter shot at high altitude, he even suspects that the terrorist attack has already begun.Prepared, but not sure about the connection.

——In addition to the inexplicable death of the adjudicator of "Skill", Rosie mentioned that there is an identity library in the deep program. Although the matter is not clear, it is definitely a fire pit.He didn't want to get involved, but how could he save himself if he didn't get rid of Rosie?

Don't do it.He thought to himself, Deng Huailing, take your bus and go.

"I'm going to wait here," Rosie said firmly.

"I don't know how to compliment!" The purple-haired gangster suddenly became angry, his face twisted into a ball, and he grabbed Rosie by the collar, "I told you to follow me, you have to go."

He dragged the bionic man cursingly, raised his fist as if he was about to hit him, but someone clamped his wrist suddenly.The force was so great that he couldn't resist it at all: "Who the hell is destroying my good deeds!"

In the next second, his arm made the sound of bones breaking. Deng Huailing grabbed half of his shoulder, twisted that arm, and threw Zifa to the wall."Get lost." The bounty hunter spit out a word with a gloomy expression.

The purple-haired gangster gritted his teeth, and got up from the wall with his arms protected. He stumbled and wanted to move forward, but his movements suddenly stopped.A half-unsheathed Tang knife was only half an inch away from his neck. If he moved any further, his head and body would be separated smoothly like a table knife cutting through butter.

He recognized the knife with the golden ring head, and news dealers often mentioned a bounty hunter. In the city of Cesina, where guns are rampant, there are not many people who use cold weapons.

"You are," he chattered his teeth, "that, A+'s..."

Deng Huailing put the saber back into its sheath and looked at him coldly.Zifa was trembling all over, calling his companions to flee the scene with trembling voices, and the group disappeared into the rain while rolling and crawling.

"You will really cause me trouble." Deng Huailing said.The surroundings became quiet again, only the sound of torrential rain remained in the sky and the earth.

"Mr. Deng..." Rosie seemed to want to touch him, but withdrew her hand halfway, "You can leave, I can handle it myself."

"Deal with it? What did you deal with?" Deng Huailing said irritably. He was in a state of uncertainty for so long, and regardless of the risk, he returned to deal with the group of hooligans, but Rosie told him that he could handle it well?If he didn't show up, I'm afraid Rosie has been taken to some underground sex exchange?

As a result, this bionic man doesn't accept his favor now.

He firmly grasped Rosie's wrist: "Follow me." Without any resistance, he dragged Rosie all the way to the platform, keeping a cold face and not saying a word the whole time.

Rosie tried to struggle a few times, but was staggered by his rough movements: "Did I make you angry again, Mr. Deng?"

"Yes, you have superb skills in this area." Deng Huailing pushed the other party to the waiting seat.

"I don't quite understand...but I'm sorry." Rosie stopped struggling and gave him her wrist obediently. "So, are you going to take me home?"

Deng Huailing did not answer.He didn't know how to answer the bionic man, reason told him that this was not a correct decision; but reason also told him that if Rosie was left alone, the other party would not be able to survive in this city with ulterior motives.

He glanced at Rosie again, that face was too harmless, especially in the rain, to satisfy all evil fantasies.When Mingming was fighting, those eyes were not so gentle.

The last bus pulled up slowly, and he was about to take the bionic man up, but Rosie didn't move, reminding, "This is a human bus."

Deng Huailing was startled, and then he came to his senses.In Cesina's public transportation, androids and humans are strictly separated. Unless accompanied by an administrator, androids can board the bus together as a human's private property, otherwise they have to wait for the bus at the exclusive platform for androids.This instruction is written in the programs of all bionics, but Deng Huailing has never owned a bionic, let alone remember the relevant regulations.

So, back to the question of ownership——

Rosie blinked and asked, "Mr. Deng, am I your bionic man?"

Deng Huailing never thought that he would be turned against the general.He didn't want to make a promise to Rosie. Although he was already an administrator in name, he said it himself, as if admitting that they had a master-servant relationship.Apparently, Rosie was complacently waiting for him to admit it, with an android slyness.

This is the last bus, and Deng Huailing doesn't want to miss it.So he wrapped his arms around Rosie's waist, took her into his arms and boarded the car, with a kind of human improvisation.
