"Disappearance No. 11, Matsumoto Tetsu, your Balance Technology's Genetic Adjuster."
Biological Zone 104, an ordinary building, ninth floor.
Jin Ba, Gao Gong, and Kaibao were searching for sothing in a bedroom.
Because this 'biological disappearance' was extrely rare, even Jin Ba had no experience handling it, and they could only use the oldest thod, visiting the hos of victims one by one, to see if they could find any clues.
However, there weren't many clues, because these victims had nothing in common, as if they just disappeared randomly.
But the victim they were now investigating was sowhat special—he was an employee of Balance Technology, and also a Genetic Adjuster.
A Genetic Adjuster, a profession exclusive to biological enterprises, responsible for adjusting biological cells. If it were a ga, switching to a Genetic Adjuster allows one to concoct genetic potions to gain different types of buffs.
However, Genetic Adjusters are extrely reliant on faction power, aning that without the various supports provided by large corporations, the potions they create are less effective, a rather 'useless' profession, far less popular than a Prosthetic Doctor.
Gao Gong wasn't very interested in him either, because when a Genetic Adjuster reaches full level, the synthesized Professional Knowledge Chain is called 'Life Technology.'
Gao Gong already had this Knowledge Chain for a long ti.
What interested him, instead, was Matsumoto Tetsu himself.
As an employee of a giant corporation, he was protected by the Corporate Will, and he was in charge of biological experintation, logically, he shouldn't be affected by the Cyber Test Field.
In the bedroom, Jin Ba could be heard complaining, it was clear she was better suited as a warrior than a detective.
"Aren't you investigating?"
Gao Gong smiled and shook his head, walking to the balcony to feel the breeze.
Kaibao stared at him with wide electronic eyes, curious.
"As a chanical Main Brain, all the information in the city is in your head, even you don't know the reason, how can we possibly investigate it?"
"I believe in human wisdom."
"I believe more in the power of big data," Gao Gong shrugged, "but as a chanical Main Brain, you are sowhat surprising to . I can see you did not lead this experint."
"We are just overseers, and in regions with strong biological power, chanical species should keep a low profile, otherwise, the next to disappear might be ."
Gao Gong was taken aback, looking at Kaibao, who again gave a cute smile.
Just then, Jin Ba walked out angrily, impatiently saying, "I'm done looking, no clues at all, what a la task, let's just report it as 'biological data' missing."
In Nightless City, people are 'artificial data,' in Liangzhou City, people are 'biological data.' In the Test Field, people seem inescapably tagged as 'data.'
"What's that in your hand?" Gao Gong asked, noticing a thick notebook in Jin Ba's hand.
"A diary the dead guy wrote, there's quite a bit of company experint data in it. While it's not that important, it should still be brought back to the company."
Seeing Gao Gong's interest, Jin Ba casually tossed the diary to Gao Gong and added:
"But I've already checked, there's no clue about his disappearance in it."
"Is that so," Gao Gong said noncommittally, "should we head back then?"
"Let's wait a bit, we just got here, after all. Besides, the main purpose this ti is to test the organism I readjusted, I know there are several special arenas, let's try them later, and you can help
adjust it further."
At this mont, Jin Ba's special communication device suddenly rang, and a four-ard strongman appeared in a holographic projection.
Jin Ba's face changed dramatically, quickly retreating back into the room and closing the door behind her.
Gao Gong could faintly hear arguing from inside.
"...Bring the person back to !!"
"Boss, what are you talking about, what person?" Jin Ba feigned ignorance.
"Don't fool , where's the Prosthetic Doctor?"
"What doctor? Boss, let
tell you, I am currently executing a special mission. As a special action mber of the Throne Departnt, during mission execution, everything is mission priority, even you, Boss, cannot interfere with my task!"
Hearing such shaless words, Gao Gong couldn't help but shake his head.
Didn't you just plan to ditch the task and run away? How co you're suddenly so proactive?
Seeing that the argunt might not end anyti soon, Gao Gong casually opened the diary.
Biological Zone 104, 'Water Elf' biological signal collection system, biological experint records.
Water Elf?
Gao Gong happened to know about it. In fact, as a type of Deep Sea Radiation Beast, and a special Radiation Ecological Beast, it looked like a glowing jellyfish without tentacles.
Gao Gong skimd a few pages, finding analyses on the 'Water Elf' biological signal, filled with various data.
The source of the data was the information station in Zone 104.
Gao Gong thought for a mont and suddenly realized a possibility.
"How many zones does Liangzhou City have?"
"481," Kaibao replied, thoughtfully projecting a pink holographic sphere. In the holographic projection was a map of Liangzhou City, indicating the scope of each zone.
Zone 104 was right in the middle.
Its shape was very similar to the Water Elf Gao Gong had seen in person.
And the shapes of other zones also resembled many Radiation Beasts Gao Gong knew.
Thanks to the Brain-in-a-Vat, Gao Gong knew quite a few kinds of Radiation Beasts, and he could na most of the radiation species in the Pan-Asian Region.
'Is it like this?'
Gao Gong muttered to himself.
Actually, when entering the city, Gao Gong was very curious about how such rich biological signals were preserved.
Because it's common knowledge that biological signals, unlike sensory signals, can only exist inside the human body.
Now he understood that the layout of each zone was actually a Radiation Beast. Besides providing for daily needs, the station also organized biological signals to form an artificial biological signal system.
Humans existing in a powerful Life System unavoidably suffered effects, no wonder they all had rosy complexions, as if they were consuming tonics every day.
'But this should only be the first layer, simulating the Biological System is simply to ensure biological signals don't dissipate.'
'But at least I found the source of this Test Field.'
In Nightless City, the Test Field's nourishnt is human desire, but in Liangzhou City, it's human biological signals.
Having presumably settled matters with her boss, Jin Ba walked out of the room with a smiling face, wrapping a tallic arm around Gao Gong's shoulder.
"Co on, let's find a place, and help
adjust again."
What, from your tone, are you thinking of staying overnight?
Gao Gong shrugged, not refusing.
On the way down, Gao Gong suddenly had a thought, opening his system panel and finding the Professional Skill 'Hunting Bio,' he activated it, and imdiately, a list of Radiation Beast nas appeared. These were permanently converted status lists, and among them was 'Water Elf.'
Fear of the Radiation Water Elf (Permanent State): Intimidation against this species
35%, Attack bonus
35%, Can cause a certain degree of Radiation Ecology disturbance effect.
As they descended the elevator, Gao Gong quietly activated this status.
Jin Ba at once noticed sothing wrong, sniffing him hard with her nose, puzzled, she said:
"Why do you have a special bloody sll on you?"
"I'm all chanical, where would the bloody sll co from," Gao Gong said calmly.
"Oh, that's right, maybe it's my nose playing tricks?"
Jin Ba nodded, not delving deeper; however, the next mont, her pupils suddenly widened, and with a heavy bang, the elevator doors collapsed inward.
The two Kaibao were jolted and flipped over.
'Kill... Kill...'
'Revenge... Retaliate...'
'chanics... Exterminate...'
It was as if a thousand voices were speaking in their minds.
"Courting death!!"
Jin Ba's pupils suddenly enlarged, a ruthless and fierce aura exploded out, her body turned crimson at a visible speed, and before the second strike landed, she punched the elevator doors open, the flying fragnts pierced through nurous already substantial biological signals, embedding directly into a gigantic atball. On the atball's surface, countless suckers undulated.
The previous vibration was caused by one of these suckers blasting sound waves, directly breaching the building and striking the elevator.
A figure shot out of the breach, grabbing Gao Gong in one hand and the two Kaibao in the other, twisting mid-air with agility, she propelled from an invisible air wall at a right angle, crashing into the ground.
After setting them down, Jin Ba twisted her neck, tal clashing sounds echoed, and she looked maniacally fierce at the floating giant atball.
"Investigating cases, I'm not good at it, fighting, that's what I'm best at!"
"I will make you fear my power!!"
