Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 88 21. Zhou Ke! Your story has been exposed! Come with us!
"The blueprints have been downloaded! Boss, Mr. Bert's production line is quite complete, and all of them are the most advanced manufacturing modules. Next, we just need to wait for the psychic alloy to be smelted, and then I can execute the mind transfer protocol."

In Bert's rather "luxurious" private production line, D-4, who had already changed into a new set of clothes, said to Zhou Ke:
"It may take 24 hours for my new body to be forged and assembled, and for my mind to be transferred to its optimal state. Therefore, I request that you and Mr. Moni postpone your intelligence gathering work on the Panis Group until I am back to my optimal state.

That way, I can become your most perfect support force."

"The application was approved. That was my original intention."

Zhou Ke turned around and said to D-4:
"Don't worry about me taking risks. You know, I value my life the most. But I have a question. Now that you have a new body, what are you going to do with this old one?"

"Uh"

His question confused D-4.

Perhaps the robot girl had never considered this problem. After all, in her mind, the only way out for the eliminated body was to dismantle it. No one knew what kind of magical thinking went through her mind. Under Zhou Ke's gaze, D-4 glanced at him and said softly:
"How about leaving it to you?"

"Ah? What do I need your body for? As a 1:1 life-size figurine?"

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"I do have some nerdy friends who call paper dolls their wives, but that doesn't mean I have to be like them. Wait! That doesn't seem to be what you mean!"

His mind suddenly turned and he looked at D-4 with an incredible look.

After several seconds, he rubbed his brow and said:
"Were you just teasing me?"

"Uh, probably not."

D-4 denied it with a straight face:

"D-4 just thinks that you are under a lot of mental stress occasionally. Master Wu Neng also said that D-4 needs to take on some of the responsibilities of the 'external health treatment plan', but you seem to be very resistant to such a plan.

D-4 thinks that perhaps a mindless, fully mimetic body can free you from unnecessary psychological burdens."

"Did you know that when your lie module is activated, you will always subconsciously call yourself 'D-4'?"

Zhou Ke said coldly:
"It seems that your progress in building your mimic personality is indeed a bit too fast, but don't learn everything. The mess on the Internet is too complicated. You, a robot who is just learning how to be a human, can't control yourself at all! Don't do this next time."

"Okay, boss."

D-4 noticed that Zhou Ke seemed really angry.

She wanted to apologize, but her mind hadn't figured out how to respond yet, and she heard Master Wuneng remind her in her mind:

"Ignore him! He's just being fake. He actually likes your initiative. You're doing great. Keep up the good work."

"Mr. Wuneng, I don't understand why you, as a high-level intelligence, always like to do this kind of thing."

"Ahem, you don't need to understand. This machine is also for Joker's mental health. Haven't you noticed that since entering the city-state area, Joker's thinking mode has shifted more and more towards darkness, evil and chaos?"

Wu Neng reminded:
“Although this is a necessary change caused by the external environment, it may also be related to the fact that he always maintains a high-pressure mental state. This machine lacks information support and cannot determine the real reason, but this change is not a good thing.

If your companion mode can help, that’s great.”

"Hiss, now that you put it that way, it seems to be true..."

D-4 recalled it in her mind, nodded in agreement, and glanced at Zhou Ke's expression again. She whispered:
"I'm going to upload my mind in advance. Boss, just as we agreed, my old body will be handed over to you. You can dismantle it or keep it, it's all up to you. The main thing is that as a robot, I really have no experience in dealing with this kind of thing."

"Go."

Zhou Ke waved his hands, squinting his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.

D-4 left quickly, but a few minutes later, footsteps were heard approaching, and Zhou Ke turned around and saw Bert walking quickly towards him accompanied by Moni.

This ordinary fat guy now had a look of surprise on his face.

Perhaps because he thought that the relationship between Zhou Ke and D-4 was the same as the relationship between him and his maids, Bert regarded Zhou Ke, whom he met for the first time, as "a fellow human being", and he was willing to chat with "his own person" for a while.

Even showed rare enthusiasm.

He rubbed his hands and said:

"The smelting of the psychic alloy has already begun. I secretly copied the formula from my father's office. It is definitely the latest alloy formula. It is said that it can improve the defense and energy conduction of the psychic alloy by several percentage points."

"Thank you for your help, but I'm curious, why did you secretly copy this kind of stuff? Once it's discovered, you'll be severely punished even if you're the chairman's son."

Zhou Ke asked doubtfully:
"On the way here, Moni told me that you've been researching something called 'psychic core' recently. Are you preparing for this thing?"

"Yes, I won't hide it from you. After all, we are in the same business. You have trained your partner to be so perfect. You are the real 'senior'! I need to learn from you humbly."

Bert explained to Zhou Ke in a familiar manner:
"In fact, I have been trying to let my maids break through the constraints of data and programs. I have always hoped that they can have real emotions, rather than the companionship mode I programmed for them. I think, as a fellow human, you should understand that sleeping with robots too much will not only fail to satisfy loneliness, but will make our situation worse."

"I don't think I can understand this complex feeling, and I don't think I should understand it. In fact, the most intimate gesture between me and D-4 is limited to shaking hands. Uh, why should I explain this to you?

Damn it!

Forget it, just treat me as you are."

Zhou Ke gave a very "pale" explanation, and Moni next to him was holding his stomach and laughing so hard that he almost rolled over.

As expected, the natural idiot is dark and treacherous!
You see, in front of Bert, this innocent, perverted and honest man, even Zhou Ke, who is as slippery as a devil, can be controlled by him.

"Anyway, I got tired of that kind of simple piston movement and release a long time ago. These years, I would rather solve it myself than let Noka, Alfie and other maids help me."

Bert said seriously with a sigh:
"I feel like that's disrespectful to them, and it's disrespectful to me."

"Well, looking at your face, your mental state, and your physical condition, considering your age, you may have done it too often."

Zhou Ke shook his head and said with an attitude of "you are going to die soon":

"Young people should exercise some moderation."

"It's okay. My kidneys have been bio-enhanced. They won't become weak because of something like this. My current state is more due to staying up late to watch TV series."

Bert, the honest man, smiled naively and continued to rub his hands and said:

"Anyway, the psychic core is actually a suggestion I heard from those mysterious psychics in the Maca Group. They told me that psychic energy can give everything a special 'vitality'. If I really want to make the machine 'alive', I can look for a psychic core to make a 'heart' for my maids.

They firmly believe that under the nourishment of spiritual energy, my maids will eventually become real lives.

But my father firmly disagreed to give me the psychic alloy.

It's not that I didn't have it, but he thought I was too obsessed with it. I also felt that my request was a bit excessive. After all, this was my personal matter, and it was not appropriate to use the family's precious resources, so I planned to privately purchase some spiritual energy ore and smelt it myself.

But now there is no need for this method!"

Bert von Maca, the young master of a large group with a weird personality and a "weird" in every aspect, had a longing and yearning expression on his fat face. He said:

"With the magical 'Josna Code', I don't need to perform dangerous psychic transformation on Noka and Alfie, and I can still let them have real personalities. The most important thing is..."

"You don't like real life."

Zhou Ke blew out a smoke ring and said casually:

“You don’t like women who are warm and emotional, who get angry at you for no reason, and who control you. Perhaps it’s because your overly strong mother left a shadow on you since you were a child, which led to your lack of interest in humans.

What you like is a robot that has its own personality, knows how to love and be loved, and obeys you 100%.
Cyborgism is such a contradictory and unique disease."

"Ah! I knew you understood me! Senior!"

Bert, whose desire was perfectly summarized, felt like he had found a soulmate. He held Zhou Ke's hand. He was so moved that his eyes turned red. He said in a hoarse voice:
“Although I have a true friend like Moni, I know that he actually has a problem with my habit. He can tolerate me but this tolerance sometimes makes me feel uncomfortable, as if I have really become a patient and need the whole world to give in to me.

But I know I'm just different from them, that doesn't mean there's something wrong with me.

Sure enough, only we ourselves can understand us! "

"Hey! If you want to make friends, just make friends. Why do you want to step on me?"

Moni next to him was unhappy.

He cursed:
"You bastard! If I hadn't been the matchmaker for you, you would still want to get the Qiao Si Na code. You're dreaming! You don't even know what this code means. By the way, do you know the name 'Qiao Si Na'?"

I remember that Professor Qiao Sina also has business dealings with your Maca Group, right?"

"Of course! Professor Qiao Si Na served as the Chief Technology Officer of Maca Group several years ago. Although she has stepped down from the position, she has maintained a very good personal relationship with my father, and has been a close friend of my mother for many years."

Bert said this quite casually, then he suddenly froze and said belatedly:

"This code is called 'Qiusna Code'. Could it be..." "Moni, don't keep him in suspense. Tell Bert everything he should know, so that he won't get himself killed without knowing it."

Seeing that Bert finally reacted, Zhou Ke lit a cigarette and winked at Moni, and the guy briefly told Bert about Professor Qiao Sina, D-4 and the "truth".

Bert is a loner, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

The fact that he could design gorgeous appearances for his "Council of Thirteen Maids" that were completely different but all above the standard proved that he was at least talented in art. Idiots cannot handle the field of art.

In short, after Bert heard this, an expression of horror immediately appeared on his fat face.

"You have to protect your maids, especially before their limited personalities are established."

Zhou Ke put his hand on Bert's shoulder and said seriously:
"Professor Qiaosna's death is still full of mysteries. It is something that Moni, D-4 and I must investigate. However, it has now been confirmed that this matter is related to some secrets hidden by the Acholi Consortium. We do not intend to involve you, Bert.

You'd better not jump in on your own initiative!

But if you fail to manage your maids and they are noticed, things will get troublesome.

Even without discussing the mystery of Professor Qiaosna's death, this code alone is enough to bring you disaster. Whether it is the top management of the Acholi Consortium, the rebellious machinery of Rust Castle, or even the people within the Maka Group, they have enough reasons to dig out the secrets they want from you and your maids. "

"They dare!"

Bert gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, roaring with a timid attitude:

"If they dare to touch my partner, I will give them... give them to"

"Come on, Bert, you can't even threaten someone."

Moni patted his friend on the shoulder and said:

"Leave this matter to us who are more adept at using violent language. If anyone causes you trouble, remember to call me and I will definitely come to help as soon as possible."

"In fact, if you are not good at fighting, you might as well let your maids perform their proper duties."

Zhou Ke suggested:
"You have filled these advanced intelligent machines with various expensive components. However, it would be a waste if they were just used as vases. You don't realize the power you possess. Bert, as long as your thirteen maids are trained, no assassin will be able to get close to you, at least in the city-state area.

So don’t always think about love and affection.

Since you respect them, you should also respect their profession and their abilities.

Relationships require mutual sacrifice. They fight in the front, and you support them in the rear. This is a stable comradeship. What do you think? "

"Ahem, um, Zhou Ke, you may not have a correct understanding of 'severe machine love'."

Moni said with a straight face:

"Bert has more than just the 'Thirteenth Maid'. This guy has been fooling around with robots since he was eight years old. His first 'partner' was his mother's omnic secretary."

"That's right, Senior, I still have the 'Ninety-nine Warriors' here! They are all concept machines released by the Maca Group to attract people's attention over the years. After my father and his team held the press conference, the prototypes were given to me for collection.

Would you like to admire my "Maid Squadron" and give me some training advice?

You have been able to cultivate your partner to such an astonishing level, so I guess you must have a lot of experience in this area!

Decided!
I also want to be an outstanding 'partner repairman' like you!"

"Duoduo less?"
-
"Sir, our psionicist has sent back the time reversal files. Do you want to check them now?"

On the same night, in the same city, in a rest area not far from the central city's industrial zone, a Flash Organization investigator wearing a windbreaker knocked on the door of Chief Researcher Roger and delivered the latest news.

The visit certainly interrupted the meditation that Roger set aside time for every day.

In addition to being an outstanding scientist, Roger is also a powerful psychic. He was the youngest Ascendant in the Flash Organization many years ago, which undoubtedly once again proved his genius.

Although he behaves like a controlling tyrant when conducting various research projects, Roger is actually not easy to get along with in private.

The investigator who came running to report the news had awe in his eyes.

However, when he saw Roger, who was wearing loose yoga clothes, open his eyes and frowned but did not scold anyone, he knew that he had escaped.

"Bring it here."

Roger was in a good mood tonight, probably because his research team sent him the specific combat parameters of the T-894 experimental subject. Although the failed product was ultimately destroyed by an operational error in the Panis Group's biological laboratory, a test subject was still a test subject.

What Roger cares about is not its accidental death, but whether its finished product parameters can meet his subsequent scientific research needs.

The fact that the T-894 was able to take down eight elite biological weapons with a threat level of A on its own was enough to prove that this test subject was fully capable of fulfilling its duties.

For scientists, this is undoubtedly a great success.

This also means that as long as the Panis Group can provide a sufficient number of T-894 test subjects on time, it will only be a matter of time before the Flash Organization completely masters Time Maze No. 11.

And time.
The most mysterious and powerful force in the world has always been the "close friend" of the Shunguang Organization.

The investigator handed Roger a very unique psychic gem, who took it and flicked it. With the precise manipulation of the khaki time psychic energy, this "retrospective file" was activated, and a holographic projection-like image appeared beside Roger, allowing him to watch everything that happened in Niujiao Gorge that night at "three times the speed".

He watched the whole process very calmly.

Including how the Acholi operators under his command were provoked into a deadly battle with the Tiger State warriors, and how Ohm killed the man-eating beast Duncan, and how he was defeated by Denar.

The psionicists of the Flash Organization have mastered the secrets of time through some mysterious method, which means that as long as they want, everything that happens in the Bad Land will be no secret to them.

Roger was like a movie fan who watched the film over and over again. After watching the "plot" at double speed, he reached out and plucked the psychic string, making the picture rewind back to a certain moment, allowing him to clearly see the faces of everyone including Zhou Ke, as well as their body shapes and gaits.

After a moment, he put the retrospective file back on the table, tapped the table in a rhythmic manner, and said to his subordinates:
"Has a wanted notice been issued?"

"It has been sent out, sir. The information of all the important people involved has been handed down to the operation team."

The investigator replied:

"Now we just have to wait for our psychics to go back in time and capture their movements after they left Niujiao Gorge. As long as we can confirm their current location, we can start a precise search."

"Heh, do we need to backtrack? The things on your necks aren't just for eating!"

Roger sneered:
"Given the recent changes in the situation in the Badlands, a group of people who offended the Tiger Nation and the Snake Nation suddenly disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth. Where do you think they fled to? There is no need to go back in time. Let all the psionicists and operators come back!
Starting tomorrow, block the border from the city-state to the Bad Land!
Right in this area, search one town after another!
They are here!
They're even hiding in Canterlot."

"Well, sir, they could have escaped to Rustburg."

The investigator whispered:

"We can't deny the possibility."

“They’re not going there!”

Roger said firmly:

"They have 'Wu Neng' in their hands! Wu Neng will not allow them to bring him into the Rust Castle. He knows very well who is hiding in the Rust Castle. He wants to avoid them. Hmm, maybe we can call them 'family'?
No need to guess!

You don't understand what I'm saying, and I have no intention of making you understand. Just do as I say!

However, since it has been confirmed that they are active in the city-state area, then the mechanical power of Lord Wuneng must be taken into consideration, releasing the frozen "Hunter AI" in the organization's stasis server, allowing them to lurk in the network of the city-state area, and wait for Lord Wuneng to appear to give it a little "surprise".

So as to avoid being looked down upon by that difficult and intelligent Lord."

"Okay, sir, I'll arrange it right away."

The subordinate accepted the order, but before leaving, he reported:
"There is one more thing you must judge. The special 'energy variant' that appeared in this retrospective file, the former Snake State Knight Commander 'Blood Wheel' Denard, has been confirmed to have been captured by the special operations team under Mr. Ajoli Jr.

Mr. Acholi Jr. transported it to the Polis area using his own aircraft and is currently in contact with several project leaders in the organization.

The surface governor obviously intends to take this opportunity to use that unique energy variant to split our organization, sir, do you need me to prepare in advance?"

"What are you going to do? Kill off the geniuses we invited here with great difficulty?"

Roger scolded:
"Since it's academic cooperation, let them do it! Never forget the original intention of establishing the Flash Organization. Even if their cooperation can only make a tiny contribution to the world, we should not stop them.

As for the provocation of little Acholi.
Oh, that ambitious young man has always hoped that the game between him and me would be fair, but unfortunately, he has not yet discovered that he and I are not playing the same game at all! And his sister who hides her true intentions and treats us as fools.

Rhine, the 'evil vulture'.
Let them be. I hope the brother and sister can have more fun playing house games and stop causing me trouble.

We have enough troubles as they are.”
