In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

Because it doesn't extend from the waist, but from the back.

After putting on the exoskeleton, Chen Yi glanced at the mechanical arm that extended down from his neck, on which hung an HK416.

"I feel this design..."

Chen Yi tried to pick up the gun, but the robotic arm kept fighting with his neck.

"At most, you can only fire from the hip."

After several attempts, Chen Yi regretfully made a judgment.

"What if we design the robotic arm to extend under the armpit?" Rio Futaba wasn't discouraged; instead, she proposed the next idea.

"...That would block some of the space for left-hand movement, and if it were placed on the right side, it would affect the grip of the gun."

Simply put, the human-machine interface is inefficient.

"...But the solution that extends from the waist..."

The design extending from the waist was abandoned during the concept phase due to issues with the placement of the bra strap.

How about this?

Chen Yi thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Wouldn't it be better to design the robotic arm behind the right shoulder and change the auxiliary gun-holding function to self-holding weapon?"

"You mean, the robotic arm carries a PDW separately?"

Shuangye's mind worked quickly, and she immediately understood Chen Yi's idea.

"Yes, wait..."

Chen Yi sat down, took out a piece of draft paper, and began to draw.

In half a minute, a sketch was created.

"Wait a minute." Shuangye took out a measuring tape from the drawer and measured Chen Yi's back several times again.

"If it's this..."

"Just design it according to the 'humanoid' dimensions," Chen Yi said.

The 'humanoid' is the robot that Chen Yi created before, which Kruka used to possess. For convenience, this model was called the humanoid.

Wait, 16LAB creates humanoid figures... Could this be considered a different path leading to the same goal?

“If it’s to function as a third hand, we might need to redesign an AI…” Futaba glanced at the functions of the third hand and considered what hardware would be integrated into it.

"Leave the AI ​​to me, I have experience," Chen Yi said, indicating that it was not a problem at all.

"If we disregard the function of stabilizing firearms... why not try using a robotic arm to hold up a shield?" Rio Futaba suggested.

"Because the arm already has an arm shield, and since the dummy mostly uses melee attacks, the large shield isn't flexible enough, so the arm shield is just right," Chen Yi explained.

Especially when facing wild pseudo-humans such as the Fog Man or the Spider Man, maintaining agility after getting close is also a defensive strategy.

"I see......"

Rio Futaba nodded and wrote down this idea.

Grade 11: Chapter 179 Following

Today is my first day working the night shift.

After being taught by Chen Yi, Kawasaki Saki also became more cautious.

There are no security personnel.

Saki Kawasaki confirmed that, not only were there no machine guns or single guard booths like those commonly found in regular supermarkets, but there were also no stab-proof vests or riot shields.

The surveillance camera footage was displayed on the computer at the checkout counter. Before starting work, she walked around the supermarket a few times to familiarize herself with the environment and found that not all areas were covered by surveillance cameras.

"storehouse......"

The warehouse was piled high with supplies, but she wasn't responsible for restocking.

All she needs to do is stand at the front desk.

"The time is... from 8 PM to 6 AM."

The night shift lasts ten hours and the hourly wage is six thousand yen.

'Kawasaki, are you there?'

It was a message from Chen Yi.

"Chen, what's wrong?"

If you don't know how to use the drone, you can switch to a different mode and let the AI ​​make decisions autonomously. You just need to turn it on and leave it there.

Saki Kawasaki took out several small drones and placed them on the table.

"Um, if the drone breaks... I'll compensate you later."

Kawasaki Saki breathed a small sigh of relief when the other party did not refuse.

'By the way, what's that little square under the drone's belly for?'

She had some doubts. Was it a battery? It was so big, taking up half the volume of the drone, which was about the size of half a palm.

"It's okay. Just know that once the drone takes off, immediately find cover."

Chen Yi didn't explain what it was directly, but he believed she would understand.

"bunker......"

Kawasaki Saki tapped on the cash register and found it was made of steel plate, and quite thick.

Then she looked at the drone on the glass plate and her hand trembled in fright.

"Could this be... a self-destructing drone?"

Kawasaki Saki was briefly shocked, but quickly regained her composure.

If it really is a self-destructing drone... could it be big enough to kill a fake human?

That should be possible? After all, they cost 20,000 each.

......

"The source tracing results are in, and most of them are random IPs within Tokyo, so there are no major problems."

Kroos provided the answer.

"Oh, I see."

Chen Yi leaned against the motorcycle, drinking the cold coffee he had brought from home.

Since 16LAB only does business within Tokyo, it's quite normal for IPs from that area to be the only ones receiving orders. In fact, it would be quite unusual if IPs from outside Tokyo placed orders.

"Commander, although the information from these individual clients seems normal, should we release some false information to cover it up?"

"Kluka asked."

"No need. Let them investigate if they want to. They won't find anything anyway."

"Furthermore, if we actively intercept them, wouldn't that show that we have a guilty conscience? We should just act like an ordinary company."

Even if the other party came with malicious intent and wanted to trace the original address, Chen Yi was not afraid. As long as the other party typed some code, the machine soul would exert its power and cause the other party to report an error. The other party would never understand what was going on until the day they died.

"Speaking of which..."

Chen Yi sensed something was wrong.

"We should be on the streets at night now."

"Why haven't I seen many fake people?"

I've been waiting near the supermarket for most of the day, but I haven't seen any clueless little cuties come looking for trouble.

What? You're asking me why the guitar knight is out on the street in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Please, the guitarist can go wherever he wants, it's none of my business.

......

The first customers were local police officers on night patrol who came to buy cigarettes.

"The new girl?"

The middle-aged man leading the group glanced at Saki Kawasaki, then looked around the supermarket.

"I should quit this job as soon as possible; it's not safe at night..."

"Sato, put down the drink. No drinking today!" He said, then turned around and shouted at another middle-aged police officer who was acting suspiciously.

"Commander Tatsuta, I'm taking this back for my wife..." Sato said with a grin.

"You bastard, couldn't you have bought it during the day? Go back and look at the car; you're not getting any commission today!"

"Sorry, young lady, please excuse my behavior." After reprimanding his unruly subordinate, Longtian beckoned to the two remaining, younger-looking police officers.

"Commander Tatsuta, I won't take it," one of them said, while the other took a bottle of cola.

It looked like a mentorship program, Kawasaki thought to herself. She had always thought that the night was a completely chaotic and dangerous hell.

Thinking about this, she felt much more awe towards the local police officers in front of her.

"There were quite a few people patrolling in the first half of the night," Longtian said casually after buying cigarettes, glancing at the time. He didn't leave immediately.

"We need to be careful in the latter half of the night, because there will be fake mascots in uniform at that time."

"A fake person wearing a uniform?" Kawasaki Saki gasped for breath.

"Yes, that means there will be imposters posing as police officers, which is normal."

Is that even normal?

"Then why is the patrol intensity increased in the latter half of the night...?"

"Because some very dangerous guys don't start their operations until after midnight," Tatsuta explained.

"So I advise you to finish tonight and leave as soon as possible. This job is not easy; it's all about risking your life."

Tatsuta opened the cigarette pack, handed it to the two young men behind him, and then lit one for himself.

"Phew... You should have a gun, right? Don't be too scared when you're aiming. Take a deep breath and then pull the trigger. The dummy can't stop bullets." Officer Tatsuta casually advised, then glanced up at the wall clock.

"Alright, it's about time. Let's continue our patrol. Good luck, little girl."

After the police officers left, Saki Kawasaki felt the huge supermarket become deserted, and a chill spread through her feet.

Keep a calm mind, keep a calm mind...

......

The intensity wasn't high at night either.

Chen Yi casually eliminated a fake man, and smacked his lips as he looked at the man's abstract features, which resembled those of a Picasso portrait.

So ugly.

The retractable tactical sword popped out from under the arm shield, and Chen Yi plunged it into the dummy's face, turning it twice.

Looking at this for too long seems to affect cognition, so let's handle it this way.

Chen Yi drew his tactical sword and shook off the black blood on it.

Their movements are limp and weak; they have no special abilities, only brute force and no intelligence whatsoever...

To prevent any trickery, Chen Yi initially riddled it with bullets.

Chen Yi, who had played many high-level games, thought to himself.

Now it seems that none of them are even good enough to be used as video material for Guitar Knight.

But then again...

Chen Yi recalled that when he killed the fake man, he actually felt a kind of... exhilaration?

"Kroos".

"Commander, this is the early stage of psychological distortion, but it is still under control."

Kroc answered Chen Yi's question before he even asked it.
