The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1001
Officer Huang paused for a moment and said in a regretful voice: "He disappeared and his whereabouts are still unknown."

"Has the murderer been identified?" Gao Yang asked.

Officer Huang shook his head: "They are professional criminal gangs. They disguised themselves as ordinary home invasions and robberies and left some false clues to mislead us."

"Break-in and robbery?" Gao Yang seemed to be listening to someone else's story: "Can the credits be taken away?"

"Yes." Officer Huang said, "However, it is not just credits that can be robbed, but also various human organs, artificial organs, cybernetic bodies, I-chips, S-chips, etc. I heard that you have completely lost your memory. Do you know what the chip does?"

Gao Yang nodded: "Understood."

The I chip is a conventional chip that is usually implanted into the back of the left hand after the age of three and is updated every few years.

It is a permanent ID and an Internet interface. People's personal information, property, privacy, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all inseparable from the I chip. Without the I chip, it can be said that it is difficult to move forward.

The S chip is the core product of Zhongyan Company. After reaching the age of 14, people can decide whether to have it implanted.

S chips have been implanted in the back of the neck. They can generate data interactions with brain neurons, and can also "digitize" one's own consciousness, and then upload it to the meta-network - the neuron Internet specially built by Zhongyan Company.

In other words, all users of S chips are clients, and the terminals are located in Zhongyan Company's ultra-large servers.

This is a brand new world that is still growing wildly and has not yet established perfect rules and real order. As vast and free as the country of the Meta Network is, it is also mysterious and dangerous.

Although Jiuyan Company has introduced various measures and strives to urge everyone to surf the Internet safely, countless people still die on the Yuan Network every year. Some people even go to the Yuan Network to end their lives (dissolution of consciousness) and achieve the so-called "eternal life".

When the Jupiter virus first appeared, many people believed that it spread through the meta-network, but this speculation was quickly overturned.

Although the number of people over 14 years old with S-chip implants is currently as high as 93%, many people who do not have S-chips and are under 14 years old are also infected with the Jupiter virus.

Gao Yang found that he was seriously thinking about the "world view" of this absurd dream. He immediately woke up and retracted his thoughts.

"Liu Li, next I will show you photos of your family, including photos of the crime scene. If you feel uncomfortable, you can stop. If you remember any clues or details, please be sure to tell me."

Gao Yang nodded.

When Officer Huang saw Gao Yang getting ready, he took out a key-shaped laser pointer from his breast pocket and pressed it.

A beam of light was thrown into the air and turned into a holographic photo album, which automatically turned the pages towards Gao Yang.

The first photo is a family photo taken on Gao Yang’s seventh birthday.

Everyone celebrated Gao Yang's birthday at home, and the family was harmonious and happy.

Gao Yang was sitting in the middle of the sofa, holding an unopened gift box in his arms. His grandmother and sister were sitting around Gao Yang, and his parents were standing behind the sofa.

At Gao Yang's feet, there was a first-generation AI pet squatting.

The photos were very heartwarming, but Gao Yang had no impression of them at all. He knew very well that these did not exist at all and were all fiction.

The pages of the holographic album keep turning.

Gao Yang saw various photos of his life with his family in elementary school, junior high school, and high school. The level of technology shown in the photos was much higher than that in the foggy world.

During his recovery, Gao Yang was forced to learn about the fictional history of the dream from Xiao Yan.

In the first half of the 21st century, humans have made great breakthroughs in the fields of brain neurology, artificial intelligence, and human genetic engineering.

These three technological explosions have completely changed human life and the world structure.

However, there is no good or evil in technology. It is like Pandora's box. Human beings opened the box but were not prepared to meet it.

Economic crisis, energy crisis, faith crisis, environmental crisis, survival crisis, racial crisis, all kinds of problems emerge in endlessly. War only occurs in local areas at first, but eventually it inevitably sweeps the world.

When the long war ended, the population plummeted from tens of billions to more than a billion. Many places around the world were submerged by sea water, and many places turned into dusty deserts or dead places with severe nuclear pollution.Humanity once again longed for peace and began to rebuild after the war, but it was difficult.

More than ten years later, the global population finally recovered to more than 20 billion, and suddenly a public enemy of mankind, the Kirin, appeared and brought the Jupiter virus to the world...

Gao Yang found that he was distracted again.

The photo album in front of me has already turned to the black and white photos of Gao Yang's parents.

Gao Yang was stunned and suddenly smiled.

"Why are you laughing?" Officer Huang didn't understand. He laughed when he saw the photos of his parents.It’s no wonder that Jupiter’s travelers are known as “Jupiter’s Mad Dogs.”

"It's nothing." Gao Yang shrugged: "My parents finally have a serious photo of their death."

Officer Huang was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Officer Huang's tone became more serious: "What follows is a photo of the murder scene. You must be mentally prepared."

"it is good."

The holographic album suddenly unfolded into a series of slides, arranged in front of Gao Yang's eyes.

Gao Yang saw his grandmother's body. Her thin body was lying under the table in the dining room, face down, and blood was flowing all over the floor.

Then there was the mother's body. She was lying in the corner of the living room, her hair was scattered, her face was face down, and there was a shocking bloody hole on her back, and blood flowed all over the floor.

The father fell on the sofa. There were no obvious wounds or blood stains on his body. His face was full of fear, his pupils were dilated, and his face was pale.

Gao Yang knew it was fake, but still subconsciously his heart beat faster and his chest felt cramped.

He looks away.

Officer Huang immediately turned off the photo of the deceased, and then showed some other photos of the crime scene. The pictures were relatively mild.

After confirming that Gao Yang had finished reading them one by one, Officer Huang closed the holographic album.

"Do you remember anything?"

Gao Yang shook his head: "No."

"No impression at all?"

"No."

"If you think of anything later, be sure to tell me." Officer Huang hesitated for two seconds and then said, "There is another photo, please take a look at it too."

Soon, a holographic photo popped up and enlarged.

Gao Yang was shocked.

In the photo, there are many high-rise buildings, neon lights are hazy, and it is raining lightly. A girl is standing on the billboard of a high-rise building, looking like she is about to jump to the next billboard.

There is a translucent holographic mascot floating in front of her, a giant blue python. Without looking carefully, it is difficult to spot the girl behind the python.

Officer Huang continued to enlarge the photo and processed the image, weakening the holographic image in front, and the girl's figure became much clearer.

She is tall, has a ponytail, and wears a blood-stained high school uniform. Her left hand is a black cyber prosthetic leg without artificial skin, and her right hand holds a long and narrow silver-gray technological knife, the blade reflecting cold neon light spots.

She looks sideways at the camera, with fair skin and beautiful eyebrows, like a powerful and emotionless female killer.
