Fault Utopia

Chapter 61 Calm down
Now that the matter was resolved, everyone left the building and went back to their homes. The same went for AA.

Although I was still a little worried about the boss, when I saw the huge sum of 3@ in my account, I couldn't hide the smile on my face.

She has a job now, a very well-paid job. Although it is a bit dangerous, she feels really happy to be able to find a job in today's metropolis.

In addition to the new job, she is actually more eager to integrate into the new group. She is looking forward to getting to know each of the four sisters, Tapai, King Kong, and Song 6PUS.

In fact, there was one thing she didn't tell the boss, which was why she wanted to be a mercenary. That was because she had been alone for a very long time.

She left the factory alone, looked for a job alone, was cheated of money alone, and killed someone alone. She was really lonely.

She longed to make friends with everyone and didn't want to be alone, but no one was her friend. Everyone was busy making money and minding their own business, like a money-making machine.

It’s the same even in cyberspace, even when playing a game, everyone is thinking about how to make money.

But it was different for Jack. That bowl of noodles was the first time in all those years that someone cared about her. AA had no family and no friends, but she felt that this was what family felt like.

Jack is really different from others. He shines like a diamond in this cold city.

"No matter what the boss is unhappy about, I hope he can cheer up soon." AA walked into the station on the third underground floor and took the subway to his residence.

At this moment, all the crude and bloody advertisements on the subway windows seemed much more pleasing to AA's eyes. He opened his playlist through the system and hummed along with the music.

Accompanied by music, the subway stopped and started for more than 2 hours, waiting for AA to come out of the subway platform. This place is close to the edge of the metropolis, with piles of garbage everywhere and only a few street lights are on.

This is a suburban area surrounding the metropolitan area, and it is also the only area where housing prices are cheaper than Queens.

Beyond the suburbs is the concrete jungle left over from the last era. Because it has no value, the BCPD basically doesn't come here, and neither do the gangs.

AA didn't want to live so far away, but the rent in the metropolis was too expensive for her to afford.

At this moment, AA had taken out his hood to cover his entire face and was walking home along the edge of the shabby street.

After walking for about twenty minutes, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance and opened fire at AA without saying a word.

But AA had already hidden in the garbage dump nearby before the other party appeared. She took out her pistol from the bag and started fighting back.

There are usually robbers here, but the robbers here don't have much money, so they don't have any powerful weapons, so AA can easily deal with them.

While shooting, AA was still unable to suppress her excitement. She hid behind a pile of garbage, made a trumpet shape with her hands, and happily shouted to the robber: "Hey! Mr. Robber! Are you there?!"

"I'm here!" the robber responded.

"I finally found a new job today! It's a very lucrative job!"

"Really? Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! I won't rob you today! You must work hard to make a lot of money!"

"Yeah! Okay! I will definitely try my best!!" AA said, carrying his things and leaving from the other side of the garbage dump.

When she arrived at a collapsed building, she looked around and made sure that no one was following her. Then she quickly opened a sealed manhole cover and crawled in.

The underground pipes here are AA's home. There is a hammock in the air, various handmade furniture on the wall, and two pots of fluorescent mushrooms. Everything in her home is hung on the wall. She doesn't want to live on the wall, but because the lower part of the pipe is constantly flowing rainwater. This is one of the rainwater pipes in the metropolis.

AA's dreams and wishes were painted on the wall with fluorescent colors. She lived twice in a large room with a puppy next to her.

Although AA made various things to make it more cozy, it was still damp and cold.

Sometimes AA felt that she was no different from a homeless person. The only difference was that she had not given up hope in her heart. Fortunately, she finally waited.

A small light illuminated the small house. The electricity came from a small generator she made using the water power below.

"Hum~~Hum~~" AA hummed a song as he moved the water purification pump he made on the wall to extract the acid rain on the ground.

The filtered water is still not drinkable, but it is still usable for washing.

After washing up, AA jumped onto the bed and tucked his legs into the moldy quilt.

As she opened the system UI, she saw another AA appear in front of her. She was currently enjoying a fine afternoon tea in a beautiful garden.

This is an OR game that simulates a partner. You can customize a partner AI that belongs only to you within the system.

The free mode can only have the lowest level of detail, and the virtual AI intelligence is also the lowest level I1.

This is AA’s only form of entertainment. If life doesn’t even have this little bit of entertainment, AA would even feel that there is no meaning in living.

As 0.1@ uploaded the game to the cloud server, AA's expression in the game gradually came to life, and he gently extended his right hand toward her. "AA, my love."

"Baby, I found a job!" AA hugged the other person affectionately and talked endlessly about all the little thoughts in his mind.

"Don't worry, I will let you meet me in real life one day."

At this moment, Sun Jack, who was in the apartment, had calmed down again, but he still could not accept that his memory might be false.

Sun Jack looked at the phone in his hand. He kept flipping through the pictures from the past, pictures that belonged only to his own world.

"This is a family photo, yes, this is a school, yes, and this."

Sun Jack followed his memory bit by bit, constantly searching for evidence in the photos. Every time he found a bit of evidence, the tense expression on Sun Jack's face relaxed a little.

After comparing all the pictures with his memory, Sun Jieke put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right! My memory has not been modified, definitely not."

"The photos in a mobile phone are not strong evidence." Tapai said, leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest.

Sun Jie Ke frowned and looked at him. "How come it's not strong evidence? It's all correct! My memory is fake, but are these screenshots also fake?"

"If your memory can be tampered with, then is your phone more difficult to tamper with than your brain? I can even Photoshop a picture."
