Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

“Ren comes from the outer ring, so he might have a higher level of acceptance of us. He can be recruited as a field agent through the oath of the creed. As for Niu Gui, you can decide what to do with him. If it really doesn’t work, it’s fine to make him disappear.”

“Okay,” Salk promised. “These are all minor matters.”

"Thanks, old man."

After the call ended, Salk shook his head with a wry smile, recalling Karin's resemblance to her mother and her personality.

"You won't even call me Godfather."

……

The androids who committed crimes are hiding in the sewers of Night City.

If the neon-lit, luxurious surface facilities represent the glamorous side of Night City, then the sewers are its shadow.

Middle-class families going bankrupt for various reasons, infected individuals unable to pay their deposits, wanted criminals, escaped experimental subjects, illegal immigrants, and spies from various organizations... all come together to form this vast, shadowy empire, akin to a slum.

When Chen Jie first went down to investigate a case and learned about this place, he was still a little confused.

Although they hide in the sewers, these giant corporations can still easily clean up and eliminate these gray areas.

So he asked around about his doubts and consulted relevant materials, only to discover that it was a huge gray interest chain.

I really want to smash this city to pieces with one punch.

Once they found the drain, they entered. The sewer was huge and spacious, big enough for several cars to drive side-by-side for a fast-paced adventure.

Following the location, we soon found ourselves surrounded by people.

The homeless huddled in the shantytowns, glaring at the Guard Bureau's police cars with hatred.

These resentful people have no idea about the gap between the Guard Bureau and those giant corporations; they only think that the Guard Bureau's people are lackeys who maintain a dirty order.

They're being unfairly blamed even more than the Reunion Movement.

As I was thinking this, the attack happened. In the distance, a homeless man suddenly pulled an RPG from a pile of garbage, and the missile's exhaust flame seemed to ignite the stinking air.

Whoosh—Boom!

The specially designed armor-piercing ammunition, propelled by the Originium explosives, easily destroyed the police flying car. If Chen Jie hadn't noticed the problem and activated the particle barrier built into the mecha exoskeleton, the simulation would probably have ended there.

The intensity of the attack was off; the other side genuinely wanted to kill them!

Not being a member of the Brotherhood, this imposter has met his match.

After opening and closing the dimensional rift three times and using phase travel twice, Karin superimposed five layers of energy shift force field on herself, and her body appeared behind the wanderer from before.

The Royal Guard's standard-issue rifle was aimed at his heart and pierced through his chest.

Rotate, pull out, and fling away the spraying blood.

"Damn it, how did she escape?"

"Could it be Originium Arts?"

"shooting!"

Because the Ark world lacks certain elements and materials, and explosives made from Originium are unstable, only the Sarkans (Angels) can make stable firearms. Most of the large firearms on Terra are made in Laterano.

According to scattered records, that emperor also encountered this problem back then—

So he took a different approach, skipping gunpowder weapons and developing electromagnetically accelerated Gaussian rapid-fire weapons and laser weapons, breaking the Sarkaz's monopoly on firearms in one fell swoop.

With the passing of that Holy Emperor, many technologies ahead of their time were once again buried in Terra's long history, but this also created the extraordinary sight of crossbows and laser guns firing simultaneously.

Whether it was arrows, bullets, or laser beams, they all strangely deflected around Karin.

"One, two, three, four... Are there four more people?"

I wonder how those two juniors are doing. They've probably passed away, since being a police superintendent is a dangerous job with an annual mortality rate as high as 30%.

Chen Jie slightly lifted her skirt, revealing the muzzle of the exoskeleton gun hidden beneath it. She then controlled the personal terminal in her brain to scan, lock onto, and aim at the four people, firing!

Da da da—

As a high-risk profession, the first thing you have to learn when you join the Guard Bureau is to empty your magazine when you encounter an enemy.

"Hopefully we can catch one alive," Chen Jie whistled.

At this point, the Brotherhood's disguised Reunion Movement arrived late, and even these self-proclaimed professionals were somewhat confused about the current situation.

Chen Jie brought up the virtual keyboard, made a few gestures in the air to disable the body camera, and then dropped the pretense, directly explaining the situation to his bewildered colleagues and instructing them to investigate the ruins.

Then, he took out the SP-2, and to the astonishment of these people who wondered if our technology had become this advanced, the liquid soul steel mech flowed and enveloped his entire body.

Chen Jie lightly tapped his eyebrows.

The mecha's surface twisted and changed, eventually disguising itself as a two-meter-tall, powerful and muscular orc.

This city of the night still holds many mysteries.

I don't know why my future self would leave these things behind, or whether the ideal creations have slowly deteriorated over the long course of history.

I will walk this continent and personally uncover the truth of everything!

……

PY recommends the book: "Is Your Dragon Vein Serious?"

Introduction: Dragon veins are formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and contain many wonders.

Lin Chaosheng originally thought that the Feather Transformation Dragon Vein possessed by his sect was already strange enough, as it could transform him, a member of the Winning Rank, into a feathered creature. But when he saw the Strange Soul Dragon Vein that gave people a second physical soul, the Giant Spirit Dragon Vein that transformed them into giants, and the Divine Eye Dragon Vein that controlled earth, fire, water, wind, ice, and thunder, the sense of déjà vu was so strong!

All he wanted to ask was, "Is your dragon vein legitimate?"

P.S.: This book is a slow burn, very slow burn.

Chapter 132 Don't be reckless, be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although the absence of the Guard Bureau's police cars slowed their travel speed, Chen Jie's fierce appearance, created using Soul Steel, and his tattered clothes reminiscent of those in the slums, prevented people from giving him the time of day.

They found the location of the android.

Liquid soul steel surged into the room like a tidal wave, instantly enveloping and imprisoning her. Before she could even see the enemy, the tiny reset hole on the back of the android's head was pressed.

Her movements and consciousness stopped instantly.

Chen Jie then remotely controlled the Soul Steel, transforming it into a semi-permeable membrane material that was opaque but breathable, to prevent the three major companies from leaving any monitoring methods on the android, thus wrapping her up layer by layer.

Enter the room and begin the investigation.

Why temporarily abandon the identity of the Guard Bureau and put on a new identity?

Because the three major corporations do not allow the Guardians to delve into the secrets of androids.

It should be said that the vast majority of android accidents are handled by their own security forces or by hiring private security contractors, leaving no room for the Guard Bureau to intervene.

Only when an android occasionally harms a civilian during its escape, and the civilian reports the incident, does the Guard Bureau have an excuse to deploy. At this point, they must race against time and compete with the forces of the three major corporations to solve the case.

Chen Jie has methods to quickly locate escaped androids using online means, and the three major companies certainly have even more convenient methods.

"First, block the signal here, then take her to another place and check her out slowly!"

The Soul Steel surrounded the female-looking android like a Faraday cage. This could not isolate quantum communication, but due to the point-to-point transmission nature of quantum communication, it could only be used to transmit information and could not determine the location of the other end.

A burly man, over two meters tall, carried a huge metal coffin through the sewer.

When there are people around, Chen Jie runs slower, and when there are no people around, he activates the jet propulsion on the back of the mech and sneaks away for a while.

True to her cautious nature, she ran for a long time, left the sewers, put on Reunion clothes, and entered a secret safe house belonging to the Guard Bureau.

Truth and falsehood, reality and illusion.

The Soul Steel transformed again, becoming a testing instrument, with some of the Soul Steel flowing in through various holes in the android's body.

suddenly.

The moment the head of the object was detected, a burnt smell suddenly wafted up.

It's a reverse-triggered system. Upon detecting the inability to detect signals from the surrounding area, and given that it was being probed internally, it immediately initiated a self-destruct sequence.

The simulator helps with the analysis.

“I know,” Chen Jie nodded. “However, with our current technology, we have no way to block quantum communication.”

This is certainly not the first time that androids have been investigated; other biotech companies and giant corporations will also be curious about this technology.

He could only stubbornly try to sift through the burnt skull cavity with soul steel.

There really was a discovery.

Why does the emulator say that the assistant in the personal terminal is a lower-level replacement for her?

After granting certain permissions to the peripheral device, she can also contact Chen Jie through the terminal and do everything that a smart assistant can do, and much more.

As the number of simulations increases, the simulator becomes more and more intelligent and user-friendly.

I found a small amount of Soul Steel among the charred remains—after testing, it was determined to be the wreckage of a personal terminal, which had entered a dormant state due to missing parts.

"Personal terminal?"

Behind the mecha, her delicate brows furrowed slightly. androids couldn't access virtual Terra, so how could there be something like that in their brains?

And there's more!

"Stop keeping me in suspense."

Upon noticing the anti-trigger system, I reacted quickly, sending some of the Soul Steel into my brain. Under the high temperature, a small amount of it was preserved... brain tissue!

Chen Jie's mind raced:

"So, the biggest secret of so-called androids is that they're made from living people?"

No wonder there are some damaged personal terminals.

Once the liquid nano-metal terminal is injected into the body, it will move to the brain, spine, and nerves throughout the body to attach itself, thus having a certain repair and protection effect on nerve cells.

If you only remove one part of the brain, the internal terminals will naturally be incomplete.

And there's something even more exciting!

"I'm also from the 'Explosive Elephant Tribe'! I'll tell you everything at once."

Genetic analysis of the brain tissue revealed that the brain belonged to a male named Felin.

"hiss."

Chen Jie calmly analyzed the situation and realized that the android's body was a female model. The results obtained before scanning the head indicated that it wasn't a combat type but a home entertainment type, and it even had a reproductive module installed...

If this gets out, the fury of doll enthusiasts will be enough to make the three major companies tremble.

"Did the part of his personal terminal remaining in his mind store his past experiences?"

The high temperatures that can destroy brain tissue are far from enough to destroy Soul Steel.

No, the storage is located near the spine... however, the terminal components in the brain have some cache, which I'm trying to access.

"how long?"

One or two days

"Too slow, I'll just hack into it from beyond the dimensional plane."

Under Chen Jie's control, and with the integration of equipment skills and the simulator, a vague line was pieced together from the wreckage of this personal terminal.

This male Felin used to live in the Night City sewers.

Captured by the Loken Water Tank Laboratory and used as experimental material, its personality and memory collapsed.

The three major companies' work on bionic humanoids is somewhat like recycling waste, stuffing the brains of those mentally challenged people who only have some basic responses into prosthetic bodies.

Unfortunately, the cache can only store a small amount of information, and the information is too incomplete to know exactly what kind of experiments they are conducting.

What are you going to do next?

"I want to try and take down a giant corporation!"

Doing something this big?! Won't that greatly shorten the time it takes for the world to discover us?

"Over the past few years, I have conducted many experiments and discovered several patterns that can greatly slow down the flow of golden sand in an hourglass."

细嗦

The simulator was a little curious. Chen Jie was just like those noble ladies every day, drinking tea, studying, joining the Guard Bureau, and occasionally chatting with her. When did he do the experiments?

"I call this method—not getting involved in cause and effect."

"To give a simple example, if I were to directly destroy the headquarters of a giant corporation using Bing's Loss, it would reduce the time by 100 years."
