Taoyuan Street, fifty meters away from Cesina von Richthofen's residence.

Flames hundreds of meters long shot up from the entire street. The flames separated the battlefield into small pieces like high walls, and the dazzling light burned the night.Bionic people covered in fire rushed over from the other side of the street, their bodies burned away, leaving only their black skeletons.The soldiers of "Shu" reloaded and fired, and the bullets continued to shatter the skeleton, turning it into swirling black ash.

"The second team reports that we have conquered the rear defense line of the house, and the remaining androids are fleeing towards 7 o'clock, requesting the next order." Piper's calm voice sounded in the channel.

"Stay where you are." Rosie said succinctly, "The first team continues to intercept and kill. If there are no more androids escaping, move forward and search the inside of the mansion to eliminate potential threats."

"This is the third team. The surrounding blocks have been inspected, including the garden and inside the building. No trace of hostile forces has been found. The scope of inspection is being further expanded."

"Logistics report, the incendiary bomb reserves are exhausted, and the bombing mission is interrupted. Do you want to replace other types of ammunition?"

"It's enough," Rosie looked at the blazing sea of flames in front of her eyes, "Robert's cards in the Lost City are about to run out, we don't need to attack anymore, we just need to be careful to close the net."

The scorching wind blew through his hair, and the melted asphalt on the street was like a swamp, and the pungent smell hit his face.He stood under the stop sign, like a traveler waiting for the bus, his clothes were sticky and covered with dust.

As the battle draws to a close, Rosie, uncharacteristically, stays put and takes command during the operation at the last location, without taking up a gun.This was not because he cherished his body with great self-knowledge and gave up fighting, but because Parisa gave up the command in exchange for it.The latter clearly knew that with Rosie's stubborn character, she would never evade responsibility, so she simply used another responsibility to coax him into place.

Anyway, the Lost City operation was drawing to a close, and sooner or later the reins of command would be handed back to Rosie.Parisa thought to himself mockingly, he tried so hard, but in the end all he got was nothing.He tried to hold Rosie in his hand, but the person couldn't hold it, like an ice edge, even though he held on to the bitter cold, it would melt and slip off, because he was afraid that it would disappear, so he had to put it backin the snow.

He stared at Rosie's profile for a long time, until she turned her head and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, do you have any objections?"

"No." Parisa smiled without showing the slightest emotion, "I was just thinking that Robert has stumbled this time. I'm afraid he is throwing a tantrum and wants to dismiss the officials in the command center."

"Well, yes." Rosie's expression was slightly relaxed, "Have you ever heard of a word in China called 'Tian Ji Horse Racing'? Use inferior horses to deal with the enemy's fierce battle, and concentrate your limited strength onIn the remaining games, we can still win in the end.”

"You compare yourself to an inferior horse? I've never seen a horse that can eat people." Parisa joked.

Rosie raised her lips: "There are no such creatures in the city of Cesina, not even in the wasteland in the second district... To draw a long way, in short, Robert's biggest mistake was to spend too much energy in the exhibition center. Once he did not killIf I die, I will lose everything; but even if I die there, the second district will still not suffer."

"Is it so risking your life?" Parisa frowned slightly.

Rosie didn't answer, the flames turning his clear pupils amber.He picked up the topic, "The remaining androids are almost cleaned up. I don't know when CyberRose will bring in a new batch. Before they arrive, I have to go to Cesina's house to have a look."

Parisa picked up the gun and ammunition: "I'll go with you."

"No, you stay here." Rosie waved her hand, "Your command is still needed outside, in case the reinforcement bionics break through the defense line, please notify me in time."

Few androids were struggling to escape from the flames. Rosie mobilized some of the soldiers of the first squad and walked towards the mansion across the street, stepping on the sticky asphalt with military boots, pulling out slender silk threads.Parisa looked at the haggard figure, he could feel that Rosie's spirit had reached its limit, and even her voice was much softer, as if the wind would shatter it, but the other party didn't fall down, calmly and masochisticallyLeading the "art" forward.

Just like Atlas who carried the sky with both arms in the myth, he wanted to rest but could not let go of his responsibilities; so he turned himself into a stone in order to relieve fatigue and pain.

The firelight came in faintly from the window by the stairs, illuminating the interior of the mansion.This is a two-storey small villa with a simple design and no frills.The owner of the mansion did not seem to be at home, and the room was so quiet that the sound of dripping water could be heard. The soldiers of the first team dispersed in an orderly manner, checked every corner of the first floor, and signaled that no one was there.

Rosie thought for a while, and stepped up the stairs.He was at the head of the line so that if there was a surprise attack, he would be the first to be attacked, and in the Lost City he had become an undead monster.

The second floor and the first floor were equally empty. Rosie led people around and noticed that except for the two bedrooms, the rest of the rooms on the second floor had been converted into laboratories.He couldn't understand those sophisticated instruments, but with the help of his skillful reconnaissance technology, he discovered the hidden compartment behind the wall, pulled it out forcefully, and an operating bed popped out, slowly moving along the track to the center of the laboratory.

Human experiments are being done here?Was it Cecina or Joseph who performed the surgery?

A bad premonition enveloped Rosie, he stretched out his fingertips and groped the side of the bed, and as expected, he pulled out a few blood-stained restraint belts, which were devices only used by manic mental patients.

His fingers flinched, and the gray memory resurfaced.CyberRose performed more than 30 remodeling operations on him. During the interval between operations, he could not be frozen in liquid nitrogen, nor could he be anesthetized. He was tied up with restraint belts and lay on the operating bed consciously.

Rosie let go of her hand, and the restraints shrank back.The soldier's report came from behind: "All the rooms have been searched, except for a locked room that cannot be entered, and there is no one in the other rooms."

"Unlock it," Rosie ordered.

He left the bed, walked out of the laboratory, and came to the closed door.There was no shortage of good lockpickers in the team, the door lock was destroyed within a few seconds, and a gap was opened in the door.

This is the last location. If you find the clues hidden here, the whereabouts of the Brain Lock will surface.Rosie took a deep breath, grabbed the handle, and pushed the door open.

What was displayed in front of him was the blazing white moonlight, the moon hung high in the sky unobstructed, the scorching light seemed to have heat, and everything in the room was clearly visible.The thin woman sat in front of the window, raised her face to look at the bright moon, and the bright shackles on her wrists were shining.

Not only her wrists, but her ankles were also entangled by iron chains, her back was so thin that the protruding shoulder blades could be seen, and her hair was withered and yellow from the loss of nutrients.Eighty years ago, Cesina von Richthofen, the most honored and wisest woman in this city, looked back slowly, her eyes were empty, and she even looked a little demented.

"You..." Rosie was stunned for a moment, thousands of words were crowded in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single syllable.When I met Cecina at the Convention Center a few hours ago, she was still poised and elegant, with a charming charm in her gestures.

In the series of places in the Lost City, the timelines of each other are discontinuous. He chased from the dance party to the bar, and then to the convention center, jumping and browsing through the whole process of Cesina and Dashawn's love.However, the time span of the last location is too large, it can hardly be called a jump, but a fall of the cliff.

Why did it suddenly become so miserable?Rosie stared at the woman in disbelief, running memories of the previous locations in her mind.The first half of the conversation he heard in the convention and exhibition center was Cecina’s dissatisfaction with Dashawn’s multitasking. Later, according to Parisa who was guarding in the other direction and happened to hear the second half of the conversation, at the end of the conversation,The two reached a consensus and wanted to maintain the relationship.

Dashawn is finally willing to give out a little bit of trust, Cecina is also willing to take the risk of loving a prodigal son, and it seems that the real understanding and trust between them is about to be established.But why... Cecina looked destroyed?

From body to will, she has been completely destroyed.There was no one else in the house, only Joseph had stabbed her and tortured her in some way.Speaking of which, Chen Wei once mentioned that the bionic human transformation technology originated 80 years ago.

A chill runs down Rosie's spine, and he can easily empathize with the depths of despair - lying alone on the operating table, the natural pride cut by the blade, first the body is embedded in parts, and then the brain is out of control, one part is conscious, while the other part is obediently kneeling to the enemy, killing one's beloved relatives and friends, and bringing dignity to the feet of others to trample on.

He was afraid of recalling this past, but he had to confirm the current situation.Rosie approached the haggard woman and asked softly, "Ma'am, are you okay?"

Cecina raised her head, looked directly at him with cloudy eyes, moved her lips, but said nothing.

"Can you speak? Do you want me to unshackle? Or allow me to introduce myself first..."

"You don't need to ask, she can't answer you now." The door at the back suddenly opened, and someone was leaning idly by the doorframe, "At this point in time, her language module has been modified by Joseph, so she can only answer his questions."

"Language mod, that is to say, Cesina has really been transformed into a bionic person?" Rosie said thoughtfully.Immediately, he realized who the speaker was, and suddenly turned his head, the hairs all over his body exploded, "You...how did you get in?"

Deng Huailing looked him up and down, saw that he was intact, bent his eyes relaxedly, and said something nonsense: "He walked in."

Seeing Rosie's speechless expression, he explained amusedly, "It was the officer named Piper who let me in. We met at God's Residence."

"Oh." Rosie replied softly, "So that's it."

Deng Huailing was stunned for a moment, and keenly sensed that something was wrong with the person in front of her. According to Rosie's personality, the normal reaction was to ask "Are you young or not", but the other party just looked at him with those clear eyes, as ifHe does everything for granted.

He was still in a daze, so Rosie approached him, raised her face slightly, her eyelashes were thick and curled up, and there was even a bit of flattery in her bright eyes: "May I know the specific details about the transformation, Mr. Deng?"
