Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 326 Riot
"Old Duan, Old Duan, stop eating, look over there!"

Although it said this, the owl did not seem to intend to let go of the chicken leg in its mouth, and pointed at the screen vaguely.

A quarter of an hour after the honeycomb drone retreated, a dark figure appeared in people's sight.

Not only the owl, but even the prisoners in cell block D47 suddenly became excited.

They couldn't remember how long it had been since they had seen a woman, let alone a clean one.

The tight black combat suit outlined her perfect figure. Although her face was mostly blocked by tactical goggles, the prisoners did not care, or perhaps it gave them more room for imagination.

This is... a ghost?
Norton in the monitoring room widened his eyes, staring at the monitoring screen without moving away.

He had heard too many legends about ghosts, but this was the first time he saw what ghosts really looked like.

"Enlarge the screen quickly and focus it on her face!"

Norton held the pistol leg and made strategic commands.

Owl had to remind him, "This is the enemy, please restrain yourself."

He knew Norton. The tight black combat suit and the long legs undoubtedly precisely satisfied Norton's hobbies. This made Owl suspect that if the ghost lady wanted to extract information from the warden, she didn't need to drug him or force him to confess. As long as she stepped her boots on the table, Norton would be eager to tell her everything he knew.

"Of course I know. Who do you think I am?"

Norton was furious. He admitted that he did have some dirty thoughts about Miss Ghost for a while, but what he was really concerned about now was the back of Miss Ghost's neck.

Beneath that short blond hair lies the powerful secret of the ghosts.

Duan Mingyuan believed in Norton's character, so he immediately took over the surveillance system originally controlled by the Judge and aimed the surveillance at the back of Miss Ghost's neck.

The black tight combat suit covered the skin of her neck, but because it was too close, it left an outline on the back of her neck.

"You guys can notice this?"

Owl was shocked, and only after the screen's angle of view was magnified many times did he notice the subtle outline of the ghost's neck.

Norton just glanced at him without further explanation.

This is indeed hard to explain.

His keen insight is the result of years of training, and the way he trained it... came from the magazines he subscribed to, which gave him an extraordinary sensitivity to the contours of the human body.

"This is a brain-computer interface. The Ghost Squad are all cyborgs! This explains it all!"

This is probably why the Ghost Squad can always hack into any security system in the universe. The Chamber of Commerce implanted chips in their brains, allowing them to have computing power comparable to artificial intelligence in addition to human thinking.

"This was originally the technology of the Iron Guard Consortium. I saw this brain-computer interface technology when I was studying in a military academy. It can greatly enhance an individual's combat capability and adaptability."

If we go back a dozen years, there would be experts and professors brainwashing them about the wonderfulness of this technology, telling them that this is the general direction of human evolution, and that in a dozen years, everyone will have a brain-computer interface installed. They also proposed to promote this and suggested that employees working in companies install a brain-computer interface on the back of their children's necks when they are born.

Many of the benefits the researchers have proposed are real, but they hide one thing: installing a brain-computer interface, performing surgery, and implanting a chip in the human brain can indeed bring about a radical change, but it also means that these people who undergo the surgery become puppets. When necessary, managers can erase their free will at any time and manipulate them like robots.

Owl also suddenly realized, "I have heard of this technology. I even went to the star region where the Iron Guard Consortium is located to conduct tracking reports, but the entire project was later abolished due to "human rights issues."

"That's just an excuse. The real reason was a riot, a riot started by cyborgs."

Norton suddenly talked about some internal information in the company's military academy. In principle, this information is prohibited from being disseminated to the outside world. However, these semi-mechanical modified people not only appeared in the prison under his jurisdiction, but also controlled the honeycomb robot to blow his head off.

This historical legacy problem left by the company caused great suffering to him, a pacifist who was devoted to his retirement, more than a decade later.

"riot?"

The owl suddenly became interested.

This was his favorite part of the insider information. In fact, he also had doubts about the reason of "human rights issue" back then. It was not that he thought human rights were not important, but he felt that Universal Company would never give up the opportunity to rapidly increase the combat effectiveness of the army because of such a high-sounding reason.

You have to know that at that time, the "anti-cocooning war" in various star regions was in full swing, and the company needed to deploy a large number of manpower and armaments to the front battlefield every year.

"It's the same old problem. Scientists and politicians always think they can control everything. They think they have the collars to dominate cyborgs. They can't imagine what they have given to those people."

Norton said, "You can imagine them as artificial intelligence with extremely high free will and super computing power. They are much more resistant to orders than artificial intelligence, and they quickly noticed the existence of the 'collar'."

As he spoke, the ghost on the screen stretched out his arms, and two scorching blades of light calmed the prisoners a little.

The first prisoner who had mustered the courage to rush at her was torn to pieces in the blink of an eye.

The trauma caused by cutting was much more severe than that caused by a drone. The process of broken limbs scattered on the ground shocked everyone, including the prison guards. The chopped-up prisoner struggled on the ground for a long time before finally standing up again.

However, this time he did not dare to act rashly, and fearfully distanced himself from the ghost.

The ghost simply glanced at the prisoner with contempt.

Then her figure gradually faded under people's gaze until it disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the scene on the screen, Owl and Norton fell silent at the same time.

It turns out that even without the need for a cellular drone, the ghosts can easily kill anyone they target.

"The corporations call it a riot, the cyborgs call it a revolution, a collar-shattering revolution."

As a result, several researchers in the field of brain-computer interfaces were assassinated overnight, and the base that managed the collars was invaded.

Finally, an explosion, accompanied by flames shooting up into the sky, told everyone the victory of this change.

Afterwards, the cyborg humans returned to the shadows like ghosts and disappeared without a trace.
