Such arrogance was met with the promise of the existence in the brain.
But if it is just a program or a separate entity, it would be too impolite to use it for conversation.
The monkey-faced eagle gave Russell a rather specific address - presumably if Russell changed hands and notified the execution department, it would be difficult for them to evacuate.
This can be said to be a sincerity given in advance.
On the other hand... if Russell is willing to go alone, that can be said to be a sign of greater sincerity. In response to this second level of sincerity, the monkey-faced eagle readily agreed that Russell could take Ringo, the "bodyguard" with him.
Go to.
In other words, after Russell made the request to "meet and talk", the monkey-faced eagle took two steps back.
It was at this time that Russell realized that he had indeed become a big shot... just to allow him to do some dangerous things, others had to pay greater risks in advance as a "deposit" or "bait".
After contacting the monkey-faced eagle, the corpse of "Dust Gap" lost its value.
Russell, who was still analyzing the bullet marks with great interest, immediately dropped it and left the room in the dust gap.
Before leaving, Russell thought for a while and took down a pen from the desk in the dust gap.
He opened the cap of the pen and looked at it. There was no trace of dry ink on the nib. It was obvious that the owner cherished this pen and used it frequently.
Russell then drew a straight line on the table.
The line it drew was extremely straight, without any breaks in the middle. Seeing this, Russell opened the pen's ink bag again and checked the amount and degree of solidification of the ink inside.
——There is still about half the amount, and there is no trace of solidification.
He raised his eyebrows, and then put the pen in his pocket, preparing to take it away with him.
"...Huh?"
When Ringo saw this, he was stunned for a moment.
She gently tugged at the hem of Russell's clothes and whispered: "Isn't it good for us to take away the things from the crime scene...?"
"I guess so."
Russell heard this and chuckled: "But I'm not the first."
"Eh?"
There is no doubt that pens are quite valuable things.
Because in this era when "paper" is very precious, very difficult to purchase, and can even be said to be controlled, pens used to write on paper are a "luxury product used in luxury goods."
The reason why paper is precious is not because of the scarcity of natural trees - although ancient papermaking technology required the use of tree bark, that kind of thing is no longer needed in modern times. With technology that can artificially synthesize food, it will only be easier to synthesize paper
.
The preciousness and rarity of paper are the result of the deliberate control of each island.
On the surface, it is because electronic documents can be easily transferred to each other and carried with you. In order to reduce office costs and protect the environment, the use of paper materials is not recommended. Those important documents do not even need to be stored in the chip... as long as they are stored in the chip.
Just go to the network disk. Even if you are scribbling, you can always call out a virtual piece of paper in front of you to complete it.
Because unless you accidentally walk into a black zone, it is always connected to the internal network of each island. The network speed is basically instantaneous transmission, and there is no cost. In theory, this technology has indeed been completely eliminated.
The classic and traditional "paper".
However, paper also has its own unique meaning of existence.
Just like the "suspected devil report" on Happy Island, which is printed directly using only paper - as long as this information is stored in any way, or even "stored" in a network disk, there is always the possibility of being stolen or rewritten.
, delete. No corner of the Internet is absolutely safe.
Just like the case of Huazhuo... the treatment of psychiatrists is to store paper data. In order to prevent the enemy from finding a psychic hacker to steal or maliciously rewrite the data, some technology companies will also encrypt the data and store the encrypted data.
The key is recorded on paper, and even the most critical information is recorded directly on paper.
On the other hand, as long as the production and sales of paper can be controlled, people will be forced to put all information and documents on the Internet.
The network security departments of each air island can find out what they want to know from these materials.
By using artificial intelligence to analyze these files, more detailed and accurate advertising can be pushed; and after everyone's information is all linked together, more precious intelligence data can be obtained from the data analysis. For those cyber
For detectives and psychic hackers, the data stored in the cloud is a huge treasure trove.
Because of this, even paper books have become rare. This is to prevent people from buying books and using them as paper. As a result, books, an extremely low-cost thing, have become luxury goods that symbolize status.
Only groups or individuals directly affiliated with the head office can purchase a quota of white paper. It is used to record things that are inconvenient to put on the Internet.
Just like someone who has been typing for a long time, he may have to think about it before writing his own name. It is the same in this era...
"For ordinary people who have no way to get paper, they basically can't write and have never written. Because the skill of calligraphy requires a lot of practice, and the pen must be used all the time, otherwise the tip of the pen will be damaged.
Ink dries up easily. For those who only use paper occasionally, they prefer to use gel pens. The lithium ester at the tail can ensure that the ink does not easily evaporate and dry up, and can also follow up to press the ink down to ensure writing.
Completely smooth handwriting.
"So they don't know the difference between a fountain pen and a gel pen at all, and they may not even know what a fountain pen is. Therefore, they don't realize what it means that a fountain pen can also write."
Russell took Ringo into the car.
The driver sent by Tartarus drove the floating car, while Russell tilted his head and huddled in the corner of the back seat, explaining lazily with his eyes closed: "Obviously, there is no one on the table or in the drawer.
Paper, but the dusty pen is still here."
"……what does that mean?"
"It means that if Chen Gap is really still alive, the person who took away those research records will definitely not be Chen Gap."
Russell said softly: "He took away these papers, but not the pen. And this pen sucked up half a tube of ink and could still write... indicating that it was used almost every day, and it was used not long ago.
Still using it.”
"...Perhaps I have forgotten it? After all, Mr. Chenzhao will not be short of this pen. If it is inconvenient to take it, just buy another one when the time comes."
"No, that's impossible."
Russell said decisively.
As he spoke, he took out the pen from his pocket and opened the cap.
He handed the pen to Ringo, and the sharp point made Ringo shrink his head.
She looked intently and saw the words like a swimming dragon engraved on the body of the golden pen covered by the pen cap.
【Let the world know your existence, my most proud son】
"Although I don't know whether his father or mother left him something, no matter which party it is... it is already their relic."
Russell said categorically: "No matter what, it is impossible for Dust Gap to forget to take it away. To Dust Gap, its value is higher than those documents.
"So there is only one possibility left - those who took away Chen Gap's documents were the second 'professional killer' who came. That is, the person who was originally invited to kill Chen Gap. He was giving Chen Gap
After filling the gap with two shots, he took away all the paper documents in the room.
"So, I think... Dust Gap was probably not assassinated because of us. It might just be a coincidence that he happened to die this morning.
"The reason why he was assassinated...maybe was his research itself."
If nothing else, Chen Gap, the unpopular "gift scientist", may have really researched something.
