Those who reincarnate must die.

Dream City, Upper District.

After a busy day, Zhao Jingyi returned to her apartment, locked the door, took off her shoes, handed her bag to the automatically extended coat rack, and then went upstairs to the bathroom. She set the external brain chip on her head to be temporarily offline, allowing the smart home manager to connect her to the Tianluo network on her behalf, indicating that she was not offline.

Although the external brain chip devices are designed to be completely waterproof, so that you can even take a shower or swim while wearing them, as a lady, Zhao Jingyi still feels that she can't completely relax while wearing this thing.

Of course, only houses in the Upper City can connect to the network on behalf of their owners. Holders of external brain chips in the Midtown area do not have this privilege and must wear them even when taking a shower.

Soaking comfortably in the bathtub that had been automatically filled with water before she entered, Zhao Jingyi seemed to relieve the fatigue of the day, and her mind began to wander, unconsciously recalling the day's work.

Today, I only served three customers. Two of them had minor issues that were quickly resolved. But that guy named Zhang Lang… I actually helped him fabricate a report and made an external brain chip device…

Looking back now, this doesn't seem like my usual meticulous style... I don't know why, but I instinctively felt sorry for this seemingly aloof big guy and chatted with him for a long time... What's wrong with me? We'd only just met, so why did I feel so close to him and trust him so much?

But it's too late to regret it now. If this gets out, she won't be able to escape responsibility. Being punished is a small matter, but her father's rivals will definitely use this as an excuse to make trouble... Sigh, it's just an external brain chip, it shouldn't be a big deal... right?

At that moment, the smart home assistant's electronic voice suddenly sounded: "Mr. Zhao Hanwen requests remote communication with you..."

"Brother?" Zhao Jingyi was taken aback, then said, "Voice communication only!"

"Okay, as you wish..."

A moment later, a somewhat calm male voice rang out.

"Hey, my dear little sister? Why don't you ever do holographic updates with me?"

"I'm in the bathroom, it's not convenient..." Zhao Jingyi's voice was a little lazy: "Brother, when did you get back?"

"This afternoon, I just finished a flight of over 10,000 kilometers..."

"How's it going? Is everything alright?"

"So-so..."

Zhao Hanwen's voice sounded slightly dejected:

"That organization has members all over the world. This joint operation only took down an insignificant stronghold... Anyway, let's not talk about work anymore. You're free tonight, right? I'll come find you!"

"Didn't I say it was inconvenient?! You pervert!"

"Tch! I even bathed you when you were little!"

Zhao Hanwen joked with a smile:

"Don't worry, you'll be all dried by the time I get there! I brought you a gift from this business trip! I guarantee you'll like it!"

"What gift?"

"It's a secret, just wait and see, I'll give you a surprise later!"

After hanging up the call, Zhao Jingyi had soaked for a while. She got out of the bathtub, applied shower gel, and washed her body. Once she was clean, she walked to the door, where a warm breeze dried all the water droplets on her body. Then she put on her pajamas, put on her external brain chip, and walked out of the bathroom.

Sure enough, she had barely sat down when the electronic butler reminded her that her brother had arrived.

Upon opening the door, Zhao Hanwen, carrying an elegantly packaged paper bag, walked in unceremoniously, as if it were his own home. After glancing around, he shook his head at the three-story mansion, totaling over a thousand square meters: "You know, even during your internship, you don't have to treat yourself like this..."

"You're complaining?" Zhao Jingyi pouted at her brother. "Do you know what the average living space is per person in Zhongcheng District? 3 square meters! I feel guilty living here!"

"My sister is just so kind!" Zhao Hanwen smiled. He was tall and slender, with a strong physique. His features, which resembled his sister's by six or seven points, made him very handsome, and his smile was incredibly charming to women. However, since the person opposite him was his sister whom he had watched grow up, Zhao Jingyi didn't even bother to look at him. She simply shrugged and said:

"Where's my gift?"

Zhao Hanwen opened the paper bag and then suddenly pulled out a square object: "Qiangqiang!"

Zhao Jingyi looked closely and saw that it was actually a hardcover book. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she snatched it away: "Yang's Electronic Neuroscience? When did you become so thoughtful?"

Seeing his sister's excited expression, Zhao Hanwen shook his head and said, "You've already read this book, haven't you? Is it really necessary to be so excited?"

"How can an e-book compare to a physical paper book?!" Zhao Jingyi retorted earnestly. "The retro feel of flipping through it is so captivating... and Professor Yang Libo is my idol; his works are worth reading again and again!"

"I know!" Zhao Hanwen laughed. "So turn to the title page and take a look!"

Zhao Jingyi had a vague premonition, and screamed the moment she opened the book.

This is dedicated to Dr. Zhao Jingyi. May you go far and wide on your path in electronic neuroscience! — Yang Libo

"You...you saw Professor Yang?" Zhao Jingyi looked at her brother with surprise and delight. Zhao Hanwen rubbed his nose. He was our consultant for this joint arrest operation. I specially asked him for his autograph. How about it? Are you satisfied with this gift?

"I'm satisfied! Thank you, big brother!" Zhao Jingyi hugged the thick book, as happy as a girl in her first love.

Just then, Zhao Hanwen, who had been smiling at his sister, suddenly frowned, as if he were on the phone with someone: "What?! How could this happen? Okay, I'll check right now..."

Zhao Jingyi sensed something was wrong with her brother and asked, "What's wrong? Another case?"

Zhao Hanwen sighed: "Gareth just told me that the online opposition to robotic police is growing louder again!"

"How could that be?"

"Because of a news report today, it's said that a robotic police unit accidentally injured civilians..." Zhao Hanwen shook his head: "The holographic video has already gone viral online. I was just about to watch it. Want to watch it together?"

Zhao Jingyi nodded and habitually placed her hand on the external brain chip near her ear. The two appeared to be standing still in the living room, but their minds had already found the holographic video through the internet and were watching it as if they were in the scene at the time.

In the holographic video, a tall, robotic policeman is patrolling the streets of the lower part of the city center, holding a gun. A moment later, a man of Asian descent wearing a trench coat and holding a billiard cue walks from the opposite direction.

Upon seeing the man, Zhao Jingyi's face paled in surprise, and she instinctively covered her agape, covering her mouth...
