Chengtian Airport is located in the southeast of Liuguang City, close to the sea, and carries the city's civil aviation business.
Every day, travelers from various Free State cities in Anzhou, as well as travelers from all over the world, come and go through this giant airport, where you can see entertainment stars, business people and wealthy children.
At this time, another flight had just landed. In the terminal lobby, a group of arriving travelers dragged their suitcases or walked past accompanied by groups of security guards and assistants.
In this era, people who can fly between cities are not just street dogs.
Just behind the crowd, a young female figure was also walking by. She had long black hair, a slender figure, a broad-shouldered jacket and jeans, a beret and big sunglasses. She was dressed in a garden style.
.
She is not a foreigner, she is a local, and her name is Ghost Girl.
She just performed a mission in Angel City and is now back.
The ghost girl had already seen a familiar figure of a man standing in the lobby, waiting for her.
When she walked over, the man who contacted him took out a small note from his windbreaker pocket and handed it to her, saying flatly:
"This is the new mission target, a three-programmer special doll who was once a member of the Superman Research Association and has defected for some years. Intelligence shows that he is selling the association's technology and leaking important secrets. The Joint District asks you to deal with him.
"
"I know." The ghost girl took the note calmly and just asked as usual: "What if he doesn't have it?"
"He has been living secretly for a long enough time." The man in the trench coat said, turned and left.
The ghost girl looked at the small note and continued dragging a small suitcase towards the exit of another terminal.
The address written on the note was a bar called "Temple" on Wanhua Street in Xuanyuan District.
As night fell, the ghost woman drove to the street outside the bar.
Electronic flowers and plants hanging from the roofs of buildings on both sides of the street emit all kinds of dazzling lights. The street is full of pleasure seekers, call girls or cowherds, and it is only busier than during the day.
Soon, the ghost girl walked into the temple bar.
This is a carnival place where everything is decorated to inspire and satisfy people's desires. The disco music is noisy and boiling. The walls are flashing with electronic codes like temple runes. The ceiling is a mirror with retro lighting, reflecting the moving and twisting people.
The various trendy and retro clothes worn by the moving people.
The girls in scantily clad and plump figures danced and sang with the guests, with drinks flying and laughter.
The ghost girl walked over, almost squeezing through the crowd, and found the target person beside the dance floor.
The middle-aged man whose name is now "Leitai" is dancing closely with a tall young girl. During the passionate dance, their bodies are constantly colliding intentionally or unintentionally, teasing each other and making happy laughter.
Lei Tai wore a retro-style ancient Babylonian robe decorated with wires, looking like an ordinary pleasure seeker.
But he is not, this man never has been.
Suddenly, Lei Tai also noticed her, and her middle-aged face, which had already been disguised as plastic surgery, had a hint of strange color.
The ghost girl was used to this. As a third-level programmer, he must have an instinctive feeling for her.
Lei Tai immediately said something to the tall girl, turned around in a hurry, and walked towards the back door of the bar.
The ghost girl followed her, her pace did not speed up, but she was just as slow and slow as usual.
The target couldn't escape. He thought he had defected and was hiding in the Xuanyuan District. No one knew his whereabouts, but in fact, the Union District had already controlled the situation. The Union District did not deal with him before because it had other considerations.
There is a long and narrow passage at the back door of the Temple Bar. Many people are leaning against the colorful passage walls, most of them smoking, but in the dark corners there are also men and women having sex.
It's just that this kind of scene is commonplace here, so there is no way for them to have any surprising reaction.
The ghost girl also just walked by without taking a second look, and came to the small alley outside. The light of the electronic flowers and plants on the main street could not shine here, and the neon tubes in the alley were a bit old and shaky.
She saw Lei Tai's figure running into the back door of another bar not far away.
When she was twenty years old, Ghost Girl went to many bars, including bars in Streaming City and bars in other cities.
Because of her own special characteristics, she always has to face those dolls, and the bar has always been the habitat of the dolls.
But she had been to so many bars, but she had never been immersed in the atmosphere, nor did she feel noisy, just peaceful. She couldn't understand why these people could twist their bodies so enthusiastically. She was born with a lack of vitality.
The ghost girl followed Lei Tai's figure and walked into the bar with "Golden Flower" written on the alley's neon sign.
Even though it is inside a bar, it is also covered with shiny electronic flowers and plants, and there are also living vines and plants of this kind. There are also lights on the waiters walking back and forth, and colorful cocktails are served on the wine trays.
The size and space of Jinhua are not comparable to those of a temple. There is no dance floor, and guests sit in twos and threes at tables or at the bar.
She saw that Lei Tai had already sat down at the bar, drinking a glass of the same colorful drink.
"I might have bad luck." Lei Tai told the bartender behind the bar. He laughed while drinking, took out a few coins and threw them on the bar, asking the bartender to quickly change the song on the jukebox.
"Stop singing that boring country stuff, let's do a rock song, 'You're a Common Ass' by Big Bird."
At this moment, the ghost girl walked towards the bar from the back door, but as she got closer, Lei Tai spotted her again.
While the bartender was switching songs on the jukebox, Lei Tai drank the unfinished drink in one gulp, stood up and walked quickly towards the bar door, "Let's go, let's go."
When he walked out onto the street, the sound equipment started playing rock music:
"You are an ordinary person. You might as well say you have a younger brother. I know you are a famous prostitute. Ordinary people cannot play your tricks."
"Hey, hey!" the bartender's shout failed to make Lei Tai stop.
The ghost girl continued to follow without saying a word to the bartender, waiter or drinker.
They looked at her, maybe just thinking that Lei Tai owed a romantic debt.
She had just walked out of Jinhua's gate and reached the main street outside, when she saw Lei Tai running into another bar on the street. "Big Big Big Big Big Big Big Big Big", "High Altitude Paradise", "Six Days and Seven Nights", "Cocktail Combination"...
Lei Tai wandered through six more bars, and the ghost girl followed him and also passed through six bars.
No matter how weird and bizarre they were, there was still no one that could touch her in any way.
There is no such thing as dark night in Xuanyuan District. The electronic flowers and plants all over the street make the night here always bright and white.
But when the rain falls at night, all the neon lights become hazy, and light and darkness continue to alternate.
Gradually, Lei Tai had a drink at this place and a drink at that place. The alcohol made his face flush and his steps were a little wobbly.
But this is just his self-intoxication. As a third-level programmer's doll, he can drink for six days without getting drunk.
He got drunk because this might be his last drunken time.
Lei Tai finally came to a dark and deserted narrow alley, with only various graffiti on the walls on both sides as witnesses.
He already knows that he can't get rid of the stalker, she follows too easily, no matter who she is or what she is, whether she is a killer or a police detective, he must face it, otherwise someone will come, more people.
With any luck, it's just a female detective from the Secret Bureau who comes to ask him for questions.
If he is unlucky, Lei Tai will not know. Even though he once worked in the Superman Research Association and has been exposed to some unknown areas, he is still so ignorant.
In the Superman Research Association, what he has access to is just the tip of the iceberg.
Doll, the first constellation in the first house, is involved in researching the mystery of the source of life, and this aspect will directly or indirectly help other projects. Whether it is neurological treatment or...
Lei Tai stopped running around and looked back at the young woman, who could even be called a girl.
She is very tall, at least 1.7 meters, and half of her face is obscured by sunglasses, but you can still tell that she is a beautiful face with a unique temperament. She may be the only person in the world who can count on ten fingers.
temperament.
She is not an ordinary person, not an ordinary extraordinary being.
For a transcendent of her age, even if it is in overdrive, facing a three-programmer special doll with an attack and combat program, the aura information will not be as calm as hers.
This is not a matter of mentality, but an inevitable subconscious tension caused by the gap in strength.
People who don't know how to be nervous are all dead.
However, the girl was standing there at the edge of the alley, as plain as a ghost.
"Girl, you are not an ordinary person," Lei Tai said, looking at this girl as if he were looking at his own death date.
"The Union District sent me to deal with you." The girl spoke in a tone that was as ordinary and natural as the ebb and flow of the tide. "You are selling technology and leaking secrets. The higher ups have always known that you are hiding here, but they are not looking for you.
Trouble, but now they won’t tolerate you anymore. I might not have told you this.”
When she said the last sentence, she felt a little bit of indescribable emotion.
"Thank you very much." Lei Tai couldn't help but smile. The heavy night rain kept hitting his face, which made it a bit cold.
"Did you know that I used to be called a disabled person?" He said, "Sweetheart, I was once a potential heir to the Lei Kuo Group. That's why the United District didn't kill me right away. I didn't have to tell anyone.
You guys."
The ghost girl listened to the other party's words in silence, continued to walk forward, and took out a pistol from the pocket of her broad-shouldered coat.
Lei Tai let out a breath and shook his head, "Listen to me, sweetheart, you don't have to be like this. The bank is not a good place, and the Union District is full of devils."
But the opponent is pressing harder and harder, and Lei Tai is suddenly about to launch his own K-level program, but...
Everything seemed to be stagnant, the extraordinary data in his nerves could not flow, and his brain seemed to be in a state of shutdown.
But this is obviously different from the disintegration of the human body and the state of nervous breakdown.
This was the first time Lei Tai encountered an indescribable state. The closer she got, the clearer the weird feeling became. It was like a huge boulder was pressed against her body, so she couldn't move no matter how hard she struggled.
Q-level programs, J-level programs, nothing can be started, everything is stagnant.
"You are not an ordinary person, and you are not a programmer..."
A thunderous thought exploded in Lei Tai's heart. He thought of something and understood something.
"Hahaha..." He couldn't help but laugh loudly. His laughter contained understanding, madness and some relief, but there was no despair. This moment could be foreseen from the moment he chose the doll instead of the blood-eater to become a disabled person.
"I've heard of you, I know what you are! Geniuses, it turns out that geniuses really exist... Damn it, at least we still have some freedom to choose the program. You have been dogs since before you were born.
,Pitiful."
Lei Tai saw at this moment that this dilapidated alley clearly did not have that kind of lighting effect.
But under the illumination of the rain and lights, behind the girl with long black hair, a figure of a wolf-headed man appeared. It did not look like a human being, but looked like some kind of mythical creature.
The ancient Egyptian god of death, the black jackal, Anubis.
"Haha, the doll's counterattack talent turns out to be Anubis!" Leitai's laughter grew even louder.
The Gifted One is an old project that has been circulating within the Superman Research Association for a long time.
This was originally the highest-level secret of the association and the joint district, but as time passed and the number of participants increased, it was gradually exposed, but the rumors were fragmented and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Lei Tai only knew that the project started decades ago.
The initial research purpose is to develop countermeasure programs for each main character, whether it is applied to the programmer's human body, alien species, or strange objects.
The bank needs a counter-weapon so that it can still have the absolute upper hand when facing those extraordinary people with new and advanced procedures on the streets and in the wilderness.
This kind of research did not go smoothly, but like many studies, the final results were unexpected.
Human experiments, genetic modification, and countermeasure program codes are mixed into the genetic code...
Although the association's grasp of genetic technology is still so superficial, the scientific research team at that time was favored by the goddess of luck. It can be said that they achieved some kind of extraordinary breakthrough, a genius.
A new kind of life, artificial life, and the counter-program are realized in artificial babies.
However, talented people are not yet able to "produce" them on a large scale. Their success has always been accidental, and the scientific research team has been unable to solve this problem.
Every gifted person is extremely rare, but there are only ten, five, and one "Anubis" like the girl in front of me who can counteract dolls in the world. None of them are surprising, but there are definitely not dozens.
A gifted person is born with a gifted program. With only this program, new programs cannot be installed.
No matter it is J level, Q level, K level or whatever, they are constantly strengthening their own innate programs.
The counter-attack talents of different main professions have different secrets and abilities. The one that plays the role is Anubis.
But Anubis is useless for non-counterattack constellation professions. If this girl is facing a hunter or hero at this time, even if she is K level, she will not be much better than ordinary people.
But for the counter-star profession, she can make dolls of the same level or even higher levels helpless.
Those who are naturally gifted are the most terrifying enemies of those who follow the program.
But the Superman Research Association and the Joint Zone have a way to add things to their genes from the production stage to form so-called "natural chains", so that those blood eaters who control weapons can control their life and death.
The gifted one is one of the most important secret cards in the Union Zone.
How many strange people on the streets who disappeared, this and that strange person, were actually secretly executed by the gifted.
Lei Tai also heard about these statements. He didn't know how true they were or how many details they contained.
"So that's it, that's the logic..." Lei Tai looked at the jackal head in the rain and figured out the key.
The first era was replaced by the second era, which can also be regarded as being countered by the second era.
The Doll of the God of Life in the First Age was countered by Anubis, the God of Death in the Second Age.
He was a six-speed, three-programmer special-grade doll, but faced with a gifted girl who might be Q-level or K-level, he was completely useless.
Kuisu Doll’s professional counter-talent: Anubis
The God of Death suppressed all the doll's most important vitality and turned it into stagnant water.
Absolute suppression makes the opponent's program completely ineffective, so that the person who reproduces can only give birth to a stillbirth.
"Steven Reiko, I know what you said." The ghost woman raised the automatic pistol equipped with a silencer in her hand and pointed it at the excited and crazy middle-aged man, "But I am under the influence of the devil.
Drive away.”
"The natural chain..." Lei Tai murmured with a smile, "It's the natural chain, right, poor man..."
"That's right." The ghost girl said, the talent you are born with, and the chain of talent you are born with.
"Wait a minute, don't do anything yet. I can't escape. Can you tell me a few more counter-talented people? Also, how many talented people are there in the world now?"
Lei Tai didn't want to die yet. He had a scientific researcher's thirst for knowledge in his heart and wanted to know more mysteries.
"What is the counter-talent of the judge type, and what about the hero type? Does the blood-eater have a counter-talent? Haha, they won't study that, right? The two main jobs of the Pisces Palace in the twelfth century are programmers.
Are you a gifted person...tell me, tell me what you know..."
"I only know of another one, the Undertaker's counter-talent, called Taotie." The ghost girl said.
Is this really the case? After hearing this, Lei Tai became more certain of his judgment.
The undertaker was the main job of the ancient Egyptians in the Second Age.
The Taotie is a legendary creature of the Eastern natives in the Third Age. It is a glutton and a giant eater. It even swallowed half of itself... This is related to the legend about ghouls...
Taotie's talent will inevitably make the Undertaker's programming ability come to nothing in some way, thus forming a cracking countermeasure.
"Any more?" he asked.
"No more." The ghost girl said and pulled the trigger of the pistol.
Whoosh whoosh, the bullet shells were thrown up, and she fired three times in a row. The sound of the gunshots was swallowed up by the silencer. All three shots accurately hit Lei Tai's head, and a piece of flesh and blood suddenly exploded and spattered.
This three-programmer special doll's wide-open eyes quickly changed from filled with pain to dilated pupils and lost all energy.
He suddenly fell into the pool of water on the ground in the dark alley, and blood flowed all over the ground, dyeing the water beach red.
"The Handicapped Man" Steven Leikuo ended his life.
The ghost girl stood for a few seconds, then turned around and walked back to the dazzling main street of Wanhua Street. Her figure was hidden among the carnival crowd under the night rain, as if she had never been to the Xuanyuan District.
