"Old Man Ita, this is Gu He's friend. She is drunk. Let's help her up to sleep."
"Well, actually she was Lorna's friend first..."
At the door of Bantian's apartment in the alley, Gu He and Lorna dragged the unconscious Pandora past.
Mr. Itada, who was sitting behind the cashier, took a look and could naturally see the handcuffs on the unconscious woman's hands. The pale gold top and carrot pants were soaked by the rain. The old man just said to the two of them: "Do it well."
"Okay." Lorna looked at Gu He, right, it's no problem to dismember the body.
At that moment, the two of them dragged Pandora up the stairs to the room on the third floor.
Fortunately, no one else was around at this time, so there was no need to dwell on it. If Sakai Kao was there, he would be frightened.
Pandora lay unconscious on the floor of the large tatami room. Lorna took off her metal hollow mask and the gold clothes on her upper body. There was a white T-shirt under the gold clothes. She was helped to sit on a chair with a back.
Lorna took a bundle of wires and tied them randomly, and had already borrowed a strange helmet from Sister Vivian. This triangular lead helmet can block the programmer's neural signals and is most suitable for use on prisoners.
.
Gu He had actually seen this helmet before, and Sophia had worn it before, so he realized that it belonged to Sister Vivian.
"I owe Vivian a favor for this guy." Lorna muttered, "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you."
After she tied up Pandora, she looked at the classic gold dress and said, "This dress is weird. It must be a rare item."
As for the metal hollow mask, it's just an accessory.
Gu He looked at the golden clothes, and then at Pandora who was tied up like a bondage girl.
This woman is really strong and she is of the same age, but he and Lorna almost fell into trouble when they teamed up.
When the car passed by Licai just now, he got out of the car and ran to the fish pond, took out the pair of pilot goggles and reported that he was safe. On the way back, he checked his personality integrity.
He only had 64% left, which was 1% lower than the lowest level in the wilderness. No wonder he was like a mad cow during the battle.
And Lorna only has 68% left, and she almost had a big accident.
At this time, after going back and forth, it is already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Gu He didn't want to face the trouble of Pandora, "Lorna, let's go to the cinema?"
"It's still early, let's finish it first." Lorna didn't want to cause any trouble to him. Keeping it in the apartment was not a long-term solution, and she had to work hard to serve her. Let's finish it as soon as possible and see how to deal with this woman.
She walked up and knocked on the triangular lead helmet, but when there was no response, she pressed the electric shock handcuffs to wake Pandora up.
The unconscious Pandora's whole body twitched, and she immediately struggled violently, and stopped when she realized that her efforts were in vain.
The two holes in the helmet could reveal her eyes with black pupils. She saw the two people who had fought to the death before, and also saw the gold coat and hollow mask thrown on the tatami floor in the distance.
She lost, she was tied...
"Wake up." Lorna said coldly, not interested in torturing the other party, "Give me an explanation, right now."
Gu He saw that Pandora's eyes still seemed to be calm and unhurried, no different from when she was eating delicious food at Mita Tempura, and she did not yell, roar or become emotionally excited like Sophia.
"I fell into your hands." Pandora said calmly, "However, there are many organizations looking for me and having business relations with me, including Yakuza. If I disappear, tonight's matter will not be a trivial matter.
, someone will investigate and go to Mida Tempura. It will not be difficult to find you. Something will happen to you."
"Oh, thank you for reminding me." Lorna crossed her arms over her chest, her tone sounding like she was mocking herself:
"Don't you know me very well? Then you should know that I do things regardless of the consequences when my head is clear, not to mention that I am going crazy now. If you don't give me an explanation, I will sink you tonight. At worst, I will escape.
Go back to the bone and blood area, and whoever wants extra hands and feet can go in and catch me."
Lorna, what should I do...
Gu He was a little bit murmuring in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't show his timidity now, and Lorna might not necessarily think so.
If Pandora gets the upper hand, this interrogation will be over.
Moreover, if you don't go to the bone and blood area, the worst possible outcome is to go to the wilderness and go to the Resurrection Society tribe to play with Miss Chiba and the others.
He suddenly thought that if he had this idea, his personality integrity of 64% was probably a bit low.
But perhaps because of this, in Pandora's eyes, these two people are reckless and stubborn. Street dogs never fear the consequences of doing things.
The apartment room was still quiet for a long time, and Lorna was so bored that she went to look for snacks.
She, Sakai, and Vivian sisters were making a fuss here last night, leaving some potato chips, beer, etc. Just as Lorna opened a can of Jade Bird beer and took a sip, she was suddenly stunned by Pandora's words.
"Your father Rodan Ludd." Pandora said in a calm voice, "This is all because of his personality data."
Gu He was also stunned, thinking about how to get around, but he didn't expect Pandora to say it directly...
"What are you talking about..." Lorna's face turned completely cold, and her light green eyes were slightly sharp, "Pay attention."
"You want a statement that this is the real one. Back then, a group of people, including the executioner who executed him, secretly kept your father's personality data in a read-only box stored in the psychic network.
"
Pandora talked about the rescue team, the read-only storage box, the key program, and the 12 program segments, everything.
Lorna listened silently while drinking beer. When Pandora finished speaking, she laughed and deliberately trembled her lips, "You are really good at talking nonsense. Being a doll is a waste of talent. You should become a fabricator."
Gu He hesitated to speak, not quite understanding why Pandora was willing to tell everything...
"Lorna Ludd, I know you, but you don't know me. Your whole family owes me a share."
Pandora's black eyes twitched slightly, and her voice took on a slightly different tone as she spoke.
"My father was a member of the rescue team back then. It should be said that he was the one who took the lead in doing this.
"He is a hero professional and was once an important member of the Secret Bureau. You have to know that when I was a child, I lived in the Garden District, and our family could go to the hotel in the Lake Eden District for vacation. Later, his daughter became a
doll.
"This is all because he was stupid. For the so-called righteousness, he went to rescue Rawdon-Ludd and put his wife and daughter into danger. He said it was for my future, but it turned out that it was just for this.
"
The smoky makeup on Pandora's eyes had long been blurred into patches by the rain. It seemed a little red, but it didn't seem to be the case.
"Just go ahead." Lorna frowned, "I found that your acting skills are better than many actors."
However, Pandora seemed to have completely opened up the conversation and continued:
"At first, the rescue team thought it wouldn't take long to 'resurrect' Roden-Lourde, but a nuclear leak occurred in the bone and blood area, and the hearts of the whole city were shattered. After all these years, the rescue team's hearts have long since dispersed.
.
"Those people died, disappeared, and my father was the one who died. He was stupid, but not all of the team were stupid. Some people sold the program segments and made a lot of money. It turned out that this was just a business."
Pandora closed her eyes, as if to prevent the fatigue in her eyes from showing.
"The longer time passes, the lower the value of Rawdon Rudd's personality data. If you go out and ask now, how many young people know who he is?
"Since this year, I started selling the program segment numbered 1, which was kept by my father and later handed over to me for safekeeping. I also found several people using the contact information agreed at that time, all of whom rescued the children of the team members, and I bought them.
Key program segments are also being sold.
"I paid someone to assassinate you just to increase the price of the key program segment.
"The logic is very simple. If you kill the daughter of Bone and Blood, the Town of Bone and Blood will take action, and the wind will become uneasy. Only in this way will Roton Ludd be valuable, otherwise it will just be a forgotten loser.
"And if he can be resurrected, he will inevitably fight against the bank again. This is a simple truth. His value lies in this."
Lorna laughed when she heard it, "That's not necessarily true, no one can figure out that bastard."
"Everyone knows that Roden Ludd loves his daughter." Pandora said, "As for why I want to capture you alive, it's because your personality data is also valuable, even the personality raw materials are valuable. If Roden can really be resurrected in the future, what can he do?
, then it will be more valuable. This is a long-term investment.
"I'm telling you this now. As soon as you mess with it, the value of all the key program segments will also increase.
"Understand Lorna, the purpose is the same, it's all just for money."
Gu He listened silently. If Pandora was telling the truth, then some of the mysteries would be solved.
But when he saw Lorna drinking beer, he obviously didn't really believe it and thought she was just making up nonsense.
"It's just for money. You have no problem with me. My whole family still owes you a share, right?"
Lorna started to get a little hairy, looking around as if she was looking for some kind of torture device, "Then I'll give it back to you now, do you want a cigarette or a bottle of beer? Look at you, what are you doing with so much money? Now you don't even have any money."
You have to give me cigarettes from others."
"I want money because only with money can we live a better life." Pandora said slowly.
"Didn't you spend a lot on that gold dress?" Lorna looked over at the corner, "I don't see you living well."
"According to your statement, how many key program segments do you have now?" Gu He asked.
Pandora moved her eyes and looked at him, "You already knew that, right? You opened that encrypted file."
Gu He had a sudden thought in his heart, but Lorna didn't take it seriously, "He asked you a question, just answer it."
"Number 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, six sections." Pandora counted them one by one, "I have a spiritual network. I can still find the whereabouts of other people. This is my value, the hero's daughter.
.
"But who knows about this hero? You don't even believe that there is such a thing."
"So, that's what you said, right?" Lorna drank a can of beer, "It's not going to change, right?"
"Of course you can sink me, but I remind you." Pandora looked at Lorna, "If you live long enough, you will always know that this is true. Then you may wonder why I want to
I am killing you because your father ruined my family...
"No, my father is a fool. I did all this just because I don't want to be a fool too."
After Pandora finished speaking, she closed her eyes, was tied and sat on the chair, and said no more.
"Okay, I'll kill you right now." Lorna's face suddenly turned cold. The other party violated her taboo and she couldn't talk about that bastard.
"Lorna..." Gu He quickly grabbed her, "Wait a minute and calm down, Lorna! I have something to tell you."
Lorna looked at him eagerly, thinking about what Pandora said just now, and slightly narrowed her green eyes...
"You have indeed read that file." Pandora still closed her eyes, "My virus didn't work..."
"Let her stay here for a while, let's go for a walk." Gu He pulled Lorna out of the room, and when he opened the paper sliding door, he turned back to Pandora and said, "Be honest, downstairs
There is an old Yakuza, you should know what their temper is like."
"I don't need to run," Pandora said, "she will understand."
With a cold face, Lorna's expression changed from time to time, and she followed Gu He downstairs. When she passed the door of the apartment, she said stiffly to the old man Itada: "Don't let that woman run away. If she makes any noise, she will
Cut her."
Mr. Itada didn't say anything, he just touched the silver ring on his right thumb.
Not long after, the two of them came out of the alley and walked on the streets of Shouhui Street. The night rain was falling.
They walked in silence for a while and passed a small cinema. The advertising screen on the outer wall changed with movie posters, but they didn't say they wanted to go in and take a look. It was raining a bit hard, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.
The rain hit Lorna's red leather jacket and black leather trousers, and also wet her black hair. "Call me out, don't you have something to say?"
"Let's share the feelings together first." Gu He sighed in his heart. Now that the matter has come to this, Lorna should know about it.
Regardless of how true or false what Pandora said, Lorna should know one fact.
As for the matter of copying and opening the customer's file, I told Ms. Ayin later that there was an error in the file.
At that moment, he activated the helmetless empathy of the Holy Grail program, released some blood threads on the back of his head, and connected Lorna's cranial nerves from between her messy black hair. She allowed it to pass, and the empathy was successfully established.
He suddenly felt that her body was tightly wrapped in leather pants, as if her heart was tightly constricted.
He suddenly understood why she always liked to wear such tight clothes, because she needed to suppress her hesitation.
On this rainy night on the street, Gu He opened the console's database and clicked to play the raw image of Rawdon Lourdes' personality. Suddenly, in front of their eyes, they saw a tall figure like a holographic projection appearing in the rain.
Although there are passers-by on both sides of the street, only they can see it, and it is actually playing in their minds.
Lorna's green eyes widened slightly, and Gu He felt that she was suddenly so nervous, uneasy, confused, and blank...
In the falling night rain and the flashing neon light, a strong man appeared and took two steps.
The man was wearing a red jacket and blue jeans, with short black hair hanging naturally and unable to get wet from the rain. His posture was casual, and a rebellious smile hung on his handsome and mature face.
"Read-only memory?" The man looked here, as if looking at the two of them, and said: "Then next time you open me, I will still talk this nonsense. I guess this is not the first time.
Time, right?”
Hearing this familiar and distant voice, Lorna's face suddenly trembled slightly...
"Wonderful, wonderful. I have become a holy object, just like the foreskin that was cut off from the Holy Infant, the cow dung that was pulled off by the green cow of the Taoist ancestor, and the kidney stones left by the burned corpse of the Buddha." The man added.
Laugh.
Lorna chuckled upon hearing this, and Gu He felt that her mood was so complicated that it was hard to tell whether she was excited or not.
Rawdon-Lourde's figure kept flashing in the rain, penetrated by the rain and obscured by the neon light of the shops and buildings.
Pedestrians hurried past with black umbrellas and transparent plastic umbrellas, but they could not see the ghost that once set the entire Flowing City on fire. They came and went, passing by Roton Ludd.
The various neon lights of blue, purple, and red could not hide the firmness and power in the man's eyes.
"No matter how many times it is." The man said again, his tone a little softer, "Whoever sees me, please tell Lorna for me when you see her, she is really cute. I have always fought for her,
As long as she lives well, her mother and I will win. Otherwise, do you think I care about how you idiots live?"
At this time, the man's figure was blurred in the rain, and suddenly disappeared, leaving only the ordinary neon rainy night.
Lorna didn't know if she was crying, her eyes were very wet, maybe it was the rain that fell.
But isn’t the night rain always cold? How could it be so hot...
Gu He didn't say anything, he just stayed by her side quietly.
"Where's my mother?" After a while, Lorna suddenly asked, her voice hoarse.
"There's nothing in that document..." Gu He could only say truthfully.
"Okay. This bastard has been here for more than ten years and he hasn't aged at all. He's earned it."
Lorna raised her head, then lowered her head. She didn't know where to put her eyes, "Gu He, you should have told me this earlier, but I don't blame you. Our relationship wasn't as good as that before. You are now
If you are willing to tell me, I will thank you."
Gu He knew it was not that simple, so she said thank you, but the Cowherd's value did not increase at all, which made her very sad.
"What are you going to do?" he asked.
Lorna looked at the high-rise buildings that were gradually blurring in the distance on the street, and the starless night sky was filled with mist and rain.
It always rains in Kabukicho. She has lived here for many years, from a mouse to almost twenty years old now.
She is familiar with every little detail of Shouhui Street, which phone booths are broken and can spit out coins, which vending machines can drop things with a few kicks, the garbage dumps in the alleys, and the messy shops in the small streets, wearing anime character costumes.
Otakus, bosozokus on motorcycles...
She is familiar with this place, it feels like her home, but only like...
Suddenly, she remembered some other scenes, those scenes in the flesh and blood area that she had never forgotten.
However, she was already homeless.
"I don't know, I really don't know." Lorna said softly, disconnected the empathy connection, and walked slowly forward in the rain.
Gu He followed her again, staying beside her and watching her face being hit by the rain, which was not a good feeling.
He suddenly saw something, so he ran to a street grocery store and bought an old black umbrella, and then chased after him again, putting Lorna and himself under this umbrella, amid the crowds on the streets in this misty night rain.
