The night before the promotion

Chapter 40 Chaos Boundary [Thanks to the leader of the gray cat sleeping]

2042, June 6, evening.

Zhou Si picked up the medical box and walked into the underground parking lot of Skyline Building.

His white coat was too conspicuous and easily recognizable. Although Golden Dreamland was located on the top floor of the Skyline Building, no one knew whether they would also arrange staff downstairs.

In the underground parking lot, a cool breeze blew towards him, making Zhou Si feel much more energetic. He had experienced a great battle and was injured and tired, but this did not affect Zhou Si's actions at all.

Zhou Si's mind was very clear. A detailed invasion plan had already emerged in his mind on the way here.

"Golden Dreamland..."

Zhou Si whispered the name, anger hidden in his calm voice, as if he wanted to bite it to pieces.

This was not the first time Zhou Si had invaded the Golden Dreamland. He had had several conflicts with the Golden Dreamland due to patients before, but Zhou Si was able to escape unscathed every time.

It was also during these conflicts that Zhou Si gained a preliminary understanding of the mysterious existence of the mountain tiger, but now it seems that what Zhou Si knew was only a superficial understanding.

The land of bliss.

No one would have thought that this legendary incarnation killer group was located on top of the Skyline Building in Anyan City, overlooking the entire city like a king. The only thing that could surpass it was another towering building, the Shenwei Building.

Zhou Si's breathing gradually became rapid, not because of tension or pain, but because of the excitement that permeated his blood.

He touched it.

Touching the huge net that spread across the void, countless faint threads connected all the clues together.

Once upon a time, they were buried deep in the shadow of the city of Anyan, unknown to the world, but now, they are gradually emerging to the surface, and Zhou Si is about to reveal their true appearance.

"I hope the answer isn't too disappointing."

As Zhou Si spoke, he opened his left hand, and a sharp narrow blade popped out from his palm. With just a slight movement of his arm, he cut into pieces the chain and lock core that were binding the door in front of him.

Silently.

Super high-rise buildings like the Skyline Tower have several vertical passages running up and down, such as commercial elevators commonly used by guests and fire escapes for safety reasons.

This time, Zhou Si naturally couldn't take the commercial elevator directly to the top of the building. He would probably be beaten into a pulp by the dense rain of bullets as soon as the elevator door opened. If he used the fire escape, Zhou Si wouldn't have enough physical strength to climb up the ninety-plus-story building in one breath.

As for the freight elevator? Zhou Si's last invasion used a freight elevator. Golden Dreamland must have strengthened security measures in this regard.

Zhou Si chose another route, a maintenance passage that few people used. In order to facilitate the entry of maintenance personnel and equipment, it was built roughly and flatly, like a hidden route, deliberately hidden under the prosperity of the skyline building.

If Zhou Si had not specially investigated the structural diagram of the Skyline Building before, it would not have been so easy for him to find these hidden paths in this maze-like super-large building.

The lights in the maintenance passage were dim, and there were plain concrete structures all around. Zhou Si felt that he was not walking in a luxurious building, but more like walking in the underground drainage system of a city. Dust was swirling in the air, and there were signs of dried water in the corners.

At the end of the maintenance passage, Zhou Si found the long-awaited maintenance elevator. It could only reach certain floors, such as the equipment floor where the machine room was stored and the refuge floor in the event of an earthquake.

Zhou Si didn't need it to reach the Golden Dreamland directly. As long as he got close to a certain level, he could walk the rest of the way slowly by himself.

The elevator started up slowly. It rose very slowly, far less than a commercial high-speed elevator. But because of its slowness, Zhou Si had some time to make final preparations.

Zhou Si opened the medical box and released the dormant mechanical spider. He then took out a mask from the medical box.

It was a mask full of sense of design, its surface covered with mirror fragments, layered and impenetrable, cutting Zhou Si's face into countless swaying reflections.

Zhou Si carefully fitted it to his face, making it fit perfectly with his cheek, as if it was born as one.

As the mask quietly started up, the dense mirror fragments on it seemed to have life and began to pulsate rhythmically, like fluorescent creatures in the deep sea. They kept adjusting their angles, like a group of greedy hunters, eagerly capturing and refracting every ray of light cast towards the mask.

Just like the interference patterns that people often paint on their faces in the hidden alley, the main function of this mask is not to deceive humans, but to blackmail machines.

Its technical implementation utilizes the principles of micro-nano optics. Specifically, a micro control system is built into the mask, which is connected to the mirror fragments on the surface of the mask, enabling it to analyze the optical signals of the surrounding environment in real time and adjust the reflection angle and intensity of the mirror fragments as needed to simulate light and shadow effects similar to the surrounding environment.

When the optical sensor scans this mask, due to the constantly changing optical camouflage effect on its surface, the sensor will receive a series of chaotic and blurred optical signals, making it impossible to accurately determine the true shape and position of the mask.

This technology is usually used in armed avatars, but now it is worn on Zhou Si's face.

Zhou Si was not used to wearing a mask. Except for some extremely dangerous actions, he seldom took it out. If it broke, he could only take it to Shenwei Technology to repair it. After all, its technology came from Shenwei Technology.

The eyes beneath the mask blinked hard, as if trying hard to see the world clearly.

Zhou Si has a strong willpower. When he concentrates, his focus is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. But when Zhou Si relaxes, his thoughts will surge like water, as if he is about to lose himself.

A strange idea suddenly emerged as my thoughts wandered.

Zhou Si felt that at this moment, he was very similar to severe dementia patients like Luo Yong in some aspects.

When they failed to become immortals, they tried to cut up their own flesh and transform their corpses into immortals. In order to fight against powerful enemies, they also armed themselves with cold machines.

It is unclear whether it is a coincidence or a destined possibility, some boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred and definitions are becoming confused.

Ding--

A crisp bell rang, interrupting Zhou Si's divergent thoughts. He gathered his spirits again and grabbed the last weapon in the medical box, a nail gun.

The battle is about to begin.

Zhou Si walked into the fire escape and climbed up the stairs one by one.

The equipment floor he arrived at was very close to the Golden Dreamland, and he could reach it by just a few steps. Similarly, when Zhou Si approached the floor of the Golden Dreamland, he believed that the monitoring system of the Golden Dreamland would be able to discover his location.

Today is the day when Pei Dong becomes an immortal, so they will definitely guard against it closely. Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhou Si had no chance to sneak around. The only option left for him was to storm. The only difference was how he would make his debut.

A tingling sensation of electric current spread from Zhou Si's temple, and Zhou Si's consciousness was extending from his body bit by bit, as if his brain had burst, and the brain tissue flowed out and seeped into the steel.

At the same time, the mechanical spider that had been in a dormant state suddenly started up, and its eight sharp claws like blades touched the ground, supporting its body.

Zhou Si’s mask not only has the ability to interfere with optical sensors, but also has a simple built-in neural docking system that allows Zhou Si’s consciousness to be connected to the mechanical spider.

In an instant, Zhou Si shared the mechanical spider's vision. A double picture emerged in front of his eyes. The intersecting perspectives made the world spin, and Zhou Si almost vomited.

Zhou Si whispered, "Is this how Luo Yong felt at the time?"

If you control the avatar body while awake, you will encounter such a situation. If an ordinary person is in this state, it may be difficult for him to even move normally.

But for Zhou Si, this was not a big deal. Long-term mental training had already made his mind as strong as a rock. Not to mention, the mechanical spider's only sensory equipment was a camera, and the only thing that could bring pressure to Zhou Si was the double vision.

After temporarily severing the connection with the mechanical spider, Zhou Si's mental pressure was reduced a lot. After losing Zhou Si's control, the mechanical spider followed Zhou Si closely according to its originally set automatic program.

Zhou Si looked up at the overlapping stairs above him. He was only one step away from the golden dreamland. A faint fragrance floated in the air and faint singing echoed in his ears.

Zhou Si closed his eyes and tried to forget his own existence. When he opened his eyes again, he had escaped from the constraints of his body and woke up from the flying bird. Bt-24 was circling the Skyline Building in the sky. As Dr. Zhou's "nurse", it had two built-in thought storage cores. Even if one was damaged, the other could be used as a backup in an emergency.

Zhou Si’s consciousness was uploaded to Bt-24, sharing its vision. It struggled to face the strong winds from the upper levels and barely touched the golden dreamland.

Through Bt-24, Zhou Si saw the general situation of the Golden Dreamland. Behind the huge glass curtain, countless figures were walking back and forth, and several tall security incarnations were standing.

There are an unusually large number of guests in the Golden Dreamland tonight, and this is the situation on the 95th floor.

Bt-24 tried to move to higher levels to take a look at the ninety-sixth and ninety-seventh floors, but at this time the huge holographic projection released a golden sky, and the dazzling light occupied the entire field of view of the camera.

Zhou Si opened his eyes instinctively, and the strong light stimulated him to shed tears. When Zhou Si tried to connect to Bt-24 again, all he saw was a constantly rotating picture, and then he lost contact with it.

Zhou Si was not surprised by this result. The conditions in the clinic were limited, and the avatar bodies that could be produced were naturally full of defects.

Neither the Bt-24 nor the mechanical spider is equipped with a complete telepathic system. Therefore, their telepathic connections are limited by range, and once exceeded, they will lose contact.

Not to mention, the Bt-24 is just a flapping-wing bird. It is a miracle that it can fly to such a high floor. The spinning scene just now should be blown over by the strong airflow. Zhou Si hopes that it will not be broken.

Zhou Si took out a number of cylindrical batteries and inserted them one by one into the power interface of his left arm. Then, he held the short axe in one hand and the nail gun in the other.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Si ran as fast as he could towards the end of the stairs.

……

Rong Bin had gauze wrapped around his face and was looking around seriously.

As the security captain of Golden Dreamland, Rong Bin has been working here for some time and has a deep understanding of the luxury and decadence of Golden Dreamland.

People on the street envied Rong Bin and praised him for crawling out of the dirty and muddy alley and becoming the security captain of this high-end club.

In the eyes of those marginalized people in society, Rong Bin has undoubtedly made it to the top overnight. They all envy him for having a good salary and working environment, and for being able to see countless beauties every day, as well as sex dolls who are even more handsome than beauties.

Privately they often ask themselves what sex dolls feel like, do they have genitals, if not, can one be added later, and do employees have internal prices, and other bullshit like that.

These marginalized people who are struggling in the alleys are like this. Apart from the basic survival needs of eating and drinking, the only thing they can think of is sex. As for some higher spiritual pursuits, to them, they are as absurd as a joke.

At the beginning, Rong Bin's heart was full of vanity and desire, just like what these marginalized people desired. After work every day, he would carefully sneak a peek at the customers, looking at the sex dolls in their arms, each more beautiful than the other.

The fire of desire burned fiercely, but soon it went out, or even never rekindled.

The Golden Dreamland is always filled with the incense that stimulates human desire, making it easy for every guest to indulge in it, but as a security guard, Rong Bin cannot be obsessed with it, so Shanjun provided the security team with sobering medicine, taking one pill before work every day.

That feeling is very subtle.

In a carnival filled with primitive desires, only Rong Bin remained sober.

People fell into endless indulgence and frenzy. Their behavior seemed so absurd and crazy, as if they had returned to the barbaric era. They hugged each other tightly, and it was hard to tell whether they were kissing or biting. Disgusting body fluids flowed everywhere.

If Rongbin could sink with him, he wouldn't be so painful, but sadly, he has to stay awake.

Wherever he looked, he could feel the overflowing desire. Rong Bin gradually realized how precious his own clarity of mind was. Reason became a lonely line of defense, resisting the chaos and madness surging from his surroundings.

It's ridiculous.

Rong Bin could never have imagined that one day he would have a so-called sense of morality, which stemmed from both his disgust for madness and his appreciation for sobriety itself.

There was a period of time when Rong Bin would hold the toilet and vomit every time after get off work. He no longer had any interest in those naked bodies. If it were not for the normal physiological reactions of his body every morning, Rong Bin would even think that he was suffering from an unspeakable secret.

This is a hellhole place, but in order to survive, Rongbin can only continue working in this hellhole place.

Rong Bin picked up the intercom and said, "Attention all units, tonight's event is very important, don't let anything unexpected happen."

Tonight, Shanjun suddenly held a grand party, welcoming people from all walks of life to come and revel. Right now, the ninety-fifth floor is already packed with guests, with every seat occupied.

Under the psychedelic light, Rong Bin could hardly tell which one was a human and which was the incarnation.

What does it matter whether you can tell the difference or not? The tide of desire has already come, surging.

In the center of the dance floor, men and women were dancing. Their elegant crooning turned into rhythmic electronic music. The noise covered up the seductive moans coming from the darkness.

Rong Bin couldn't blend into the carnival. He couldn't help but look up and look higher up the dome.

He thought that there must be an even crazier party taking place on the ninety-sixth floor at this moment?

Rong Bin said he was the security team leader, but he was only responsible for the security of the 95th floor. As for the 96th floor, he had only been there a few times. As for the 97th floor, it was even more of a mystery.

The ninety-sixth floor is the VIP area, but VIPs usually don't come in person. It is filled with avatar bodies customized by dignitaries. They have senses that are far more sensitive than humans, and the degree of sensory stimulation can be adjusted.

When those powerful figures want to pursue their desires, they will upload their consciousness to the ninety-sixth floor of the incarnation body, wake up directly from the ninety-sixth floor, and begin their own indulgence orgy.

The whole process is absolutely anonymous, and no one knows who the real identity is under the cold body. Therefore, everyone will release their most primitive evil nature.

Rong Bin's mind flashed through those well-made sex dolls, their intestines, their blood, and the wailing sounds they made when they were cut into pieces by swords, which excited the sadists.

That is a place where the secular world is not allowed to exist, Sodom, which God vowed to destroy. It does not welcome the arrival of mortals, so they come down in incarnated bodies, right?

"Hahaha!"

There were bursts of laughter on the dance floor, people hugged each other and kissed each other, their fingers running across each other's skin.

The electronic music is getting louder.

Rong Bin touched the gauze on his face and suddenly missed Zhou Si. When Zhou Si said that day that he wanted to burn this place to ashes, he was really moved.

It was just a heart-throb. Rong Bin hated the decadent desires of this place, but it was undeniable that his duty was to protect this place.

Rongbin is a person whose sense of responsibility is greater than his own preferences, otherwise he would not have been able to crawl out of the hidden alley.

Suddenly, a voice came from the headset.

"Someone is coming from the fire escape," the other party paused and raised his voice several times higher, "He is wearing a white coat, it's Zhou Si!"

Rong Bin looked around vigilantly. At the same moment, a closed fire door on one side was kicked open, and a familiar figure appeared from behind the door.

Zhou Si looked at the dim hall and the revelry crowd. People were wearing strange costumes, and some were cosplaying as the latest popular game characters. Zhou Si didn't know whether they were human costumes or carefully dressed up avatar bodies.

"Wow!" he exclaimed with a smile, "Masquerade? How about taking me along?"

Raising the nail gun, Zhou Si fired at the security guards.
