The night wind rustled in the rain, and the fish pond convoy began to drive into the Sanjiao area.
Previously, the motorcade started from Kabukicho, passed through the bustling central area, and then passed through the small flea area. If you continue to go east, you will reach the boxing area, and if you go northeast, you will reach the three-foot area.
The East River has deep branches, forming various circuitous river channels, which become more and more like this as you go north.
If you go all the way north and cross the large river called the Kitaara River, you will reach the Kago area where countless rivers intersect.
But most of the rivers there have become dumping grounds for industrial waste in the eastern industrial zone. They have been filled with stench for a long time, and the once clear river water is worse than watery excrement. The territory of the river countrymen has become more and more like a muddy pond.
On the south side of the Kitaara River, there are not so many rivers, and the town is built on the plains.
Gu He looked at the street outside through the car window. Even in the middle of the night, there were cars and people coming and going and the lights were lively. Looking along the way, he didn't find any part of this night city that was quiet.
The architectural style of the buildings in the Sanjiao District is quite old, and most of them are low-rise. If there were no neon signs and awnings of the shops dimly flashing in the night rain, they would look like Gothic products of the past steam age.
The air that penetrated into the car through the window also seemed to be filled with the smell of steam, mixed with the smell of chemicals.
"You must not walk around in the Sanjiao area."
On this six-seater heavy-duty off-road vehicle, Lorna was driving, and Miss Ayin, Kao Sakai, and Cookie were all there.
In the back row, Lao Cai sat next to Gu He and taught him earnestly:
"You don't know which house is a working laboratory. Inside, they are messing with alien species, studying strange objects, dissecting and transforming human bodies or monsters, and digging out data from human brains. Anything is possible.
"I used to come here to buy ingredients with a friend named Zaid. We drank in a bar and drank too much. Zaid went out to take a pee and never came back.
"I searched for him for a few days, and then I found one of his bad teeth that had been filled in a trash can not far from the bar."
Several girls didn't react at all. This is the three-legged area.
There are many good things here, it is truly a "shopping paradise", you will go to heaven after shopping.
The more Gu He listened, the more he realized what a good place Shouhui Street was. At least there were some rules on the streets there.
"But the buildings you can see are just the two legs on the surface of the three-legged area. It has one more leg."
Lao Cai raised his hand and pointed downwards a bit showily, "It's underground."
Gu He didn't have any intuitive feelings after hearing this, but Lao Cai said he would know soon.
The convoy drove for more than half an hour and arrived at an abandoned construction site on the bank of the river called the "Science Field". There were some houses with colorful walls around, and some drunk local young people were swinging and shouting on the road.
The construction site has become a small square-like commercial place, decorated with lights, filled with stalls and bustling with tourists.
The convoy stopped, and under the command of Lorna's walkie-talkie, some of the mercenaries guarded the convoy, while others dispersed to guard several intersections.
And on this off-road vehicle, Gu He, Sakai Huaqing, and Cookie formed a large group.
This time, because of the risk of getting separated, the two soul movers took the spiritual network channel.
The three of them were connected with the Heart Network helmet. They first entered the Mind Network, and then immediately jumped to the location of Gu He's Personality Rubik's Cube.
Since Gu He is a doll container and accepts their data flow, which is different from being forcibly invaded, the sympathetic connection of the three personality Rubik's Cubes did not trigger a reaction from the Heart Network host.
When they exited the heart network, they were already in Gu He's body.
In this way, once you log out of the psychic network, you can immediately return to the main body without the need to transfer through the connection of the physical helmet.
Large groups using the heart network channel are more flexible, but the disadvantage is that the maintenance time will be shorter.
Gu He had just upgraded to the high level of the container, and it should be in overdrive. Moreover, Miss Sakai was in third gear, and Cookie was in salted fish. Their personality integrity was 93% and 95% respectively, while his was 99%.
.
[Container, program status: idle, 45%]
It was still very relaxing like this, and he felt that it would be no problem to last a whole day.
At that moment, a large group of Gu He, Miss Caiyin and Luo Na followed Lao Cai into the construction site square, and suddenly looked at them with some unkind eyes.
They are gang members who patrol this area.
The largest gang in the Sanjiao District is the "Alchemy Guild", a core member of which is an alliance of alchemists.
He also saw the figures of members of the Low Science Tribe, similar to those in Kabukicho, wearing tattered cloth clothes, shouting: "Humans imitated the gods to create Leviathan, but the only result is to destroy themselves! Electronic technology is today's Leviathan
Tan!"
"We came to see Wilbur, we have a deal."
Here, Lao Cai told the vigilant gatekeepers and showed a special mechanical card with crystals and numbers on it. It was a pass issued by the Alchemy Guild to friends.
When the head janitor saw the card, he took out the instrument and scanned it. The test showed that there was no problem, and then he let them pass.
After all, Ayane Kumiko has been retired for many years, and she still has to rely on Lao Cai to walk in the Sanjiao area.
Gu He continued to follow, and walked around the square to an underground entrance, walked in, and soon arrived at another space, which seemed to be converted from an underground parking lot, and was noisier than the ground.
There are rock songs stirring in the sultry air, and there are crowds of people standing around various stalls, all of them proven people.
"A place like this underground shopping mall is the hidden foot in the Sanjiao area. You can only enter if you have connections." Lao Cai said as he walked, "If you want to buy really good things, you have to go to a place like this."
"Lao Cai, do you know this Wilbur?" Lorna asked, "What's his background?"
"I don't know him, he's not particularly famous, but I heard he has a lot of personality. He is a top student in the Physics Department of Liuguang University. He came to the Sanjiao District many years ago. He is an alchemist who specializes in rare objects and prosthetics."
An alchemist is somewhat similar to a food cook in some respects, but the things and methods of refining are different.
One of the great mysteries of the triple great Hermes, alchemists have extraordinary abilities in the creation, dismantling, refining, adjustment, and repair of strange objects and alien species.
It is in these underground studios and laboratories that batches of prosthetics and equipment are transported out to the streets of various districts, as well as those things whose effectiveness is unknown whether they succeed or fail. The Sanjiao District has always been a good place for treasure hunting.
On the other hand, if there are any good results here occasionally, they will be quickly swept away by the bank or the secret bureau.
Everyone walked in this underground shopping mall for a while, then arrived at the other end of the shopping mall and walked into a small passage until they were blocked by a thick metal door with many electronic devices on it.
Lao Cai has already taught you not to break the door in the three-legged area, especially the door of the alchemy studio. It is no different from actively running into a trap to seek death.
Ayane Kumiko walked up, pressed a series of connector codes on a worn-out small electronic keyboard on the door.
After a while, a male voice came from the intercom on the door: "What does watermelon and apple equal?"
"Watermelon and apple." Ayane Kumiko answered the code.
Gu He saw the metal door make a magnetic sound and slowly open to both sides automatically.
They were able to walk into the studio inside. All kinds of mechanical equipment and sundries were crowded and messy, and there was smoke everywhere. The walls were covered with numbers and physical formulas that they couldn't understand, as if it was the bedroom of a great scientist.
There is a giant glass water tank in the middle, with a round creature like a dolphin or something swimming in it.
Its skin and flesh have turned white, and there are many electronic interfaces on its body, all of which are connected and pulled with various wires, making it look old, fat, and slovenly without taking care of its whiskers.
A man who looked to be in his thirties was standing next to the water tank. He had curly brown hair and was wearing loose plaid pajamas. His slovenly face showed fatigue, but he was quite handsome.
He is Wilbur. Although he is an alchemist, he has no obvious prosthetic transformation.
"The middleman who comes to collect the goods, right? Come with me, who is the big group?"
"I... we are." Gu He responded. Sakai Kao easily squeezed out and said hello: "I am an actor." Then Cookie said lazily: "I am a fabricator."
"The large group of doll containers are advanced programmers with very high talents." Ayane Kumiko only revealed simple information.
"That's enough." Wilbur nodded, "This rare item can be used by a programmer."
Everyone followed him towards the back of the studio. Lorna looked around cautiously as she walked.
Wilbur had already put the goods on a wide and long mechanical work table against the wall, covered with a black cloth. There were many wires trailing from the water tank. It seemed that the modified dolphin was
Connected to the strange objects on the table.
At this time, Wilbur stepped forward and took off the black cloth, revealing the true appearance of the strange object.
Gu He was suddenly slightly surprised, and saw that it seemed to be a pair of wings, a combination of steel and flesh, with precise gears forming long wings on both sides, both more than two meters long, and each feather was lifelike and glowing with a strange brilliance.
At this time, there were still bundles of wires connected to it, and it was indeed connected to the dolphin.
Gu He heard in his mind, Sakai Kao said in surprise: So beautiful. Cookie also said: Then I understand.
But he didn't understand, so he asked Cookie: "What?"
"The fabricator's constellation is the Wing Constellation." Cookie replied, "I'm here to increase the compatibility when it is installed on you."
Ayane Kumiko couldn't help but be surprised when she looked at these long wings. She had been around for so many years since childhood. It was really an eye-opener.
Lao Cai sighed with emotion and asked, "How much did this cost?"
"Twenty million, and provide me with rare materials with corresponding original characteristics."
After hearing Wilbur say that the cost was at least 20 million, Lorna was slightly surprised when she looked at this strange object and felt very fond of it.
"But money is not the key, and materials are not the key..." Wilbur looked at the winged strange thing in front of him. The fatigue on his face was no longer visible, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm and satisfaction. "It's a formula, it's an algorithm, it's data.
Structure is the corresponding data...
"Thousand-leaf Wings, this is my highest masterpiece."
