The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

Xu Yang and Ye Zi first went to a charming little bar in Huicheng District. She wore a black formal dress with a white custom-made shirt. This dress was formal and mature, and it looked extremely out of place on her petite body. Her name was Xu. Yang felt a strange impulse from the depths of his heart, and his heart jumped. He unbuttoned his collar, took the leaves to the edge of the bar, and sat down on the rows of red metal high stools.

The local bartender raised his eyebrows when he saw the two of them. He didn't say anything. He had long been used to seeing strange pairings of men and women, not to mention street ronin and company girl. So he didn't say a word, turned the aluminum menu around and pushed it in front of them. The wine cabinet at the back of the bar is outfitted with groups of green xenon lamps, and the bartender's face looks as funny as a clown.

Ye Ye didn't want to get to the point so quickly, she knew what the end of the day would be like, but she was willing to prolong the prelude, so they drank cup after cup of soft drinks, exchanging interesting stories and complaints in their hearts.

After listening to Ye Zi's ramble, Xu Yang understands more about how money pushes Ye Ye to higher heights. She is used to the lifestyle of spending a lot of money and redefines pocket money and salary. Now Ye Ye can get 2.78 million funds per week even if she doesn't have to work. Even if he escapes from Xisheng's vortex now, he can spend his life without worries. The problem is that, getting used to this way of life, Ye Ye can't bear the embarrassing days.

And Ye Ye also learned what he was worried about through Xu Yang's words - he had so many friends, so many faces, stumbling and stumbling, he broke into this underground city alone, and now he is completely isolated from loneliness, his destiny has been It is closely connected with the fate of many people, which also means that he cannot be reckless. He speaks less, thinks more deeply, and never shows himself in person.

After 9 o'clock, the resident rock band arrived, and the guitar burst on stage, breaking the silence first, and the music boomed. There are so many temptations in this world that people can't help but want to relax, so she changed the menu and drank it. The first glass of spirits tonight, her love for alcohol has only been cultivated in the past two months.

The more she drank, the more lost she felt, but she also felt extremely free. Perhaps freedom itself was chaotic.

The action then becomes bolder, and what was previously obscured by the industrial fabric becomes clearer. Xu Yang carried Ye Ye back to the car. This luxury car, "Old Room Black Moon", was equipped with a second-generation artificial intelligence. It detected that the host Xiaojie Ye, bound to the vehicle, was confused and began to enter self-discipline. Manipulate the mode, start fully automatic navigation, take them out of Aizu Castle, and go to Anku City, which is judged by the AI ​​to be safer.

The leaves were curled up on the tatami at the back of the carriage. The alcohol was quickly eliminated by the degradation program of the brain processor. She was very awake, but she would rather be half-drunk and blushed. Xu Yang took everything according to the order, first her first kiss, and then everything.

After more than an hour, sweat was left on the tatami. The vehicle had already automatically navigated to the Xisheng Hotel in Anjiu City.

The door opened, and Xu Yang carried the limp leaf into the back room. She herself had a VIP luxury private room here. The vehicle itself was transported by a shuttle and parked on the parking lot outside the private room window, surrounded by magnificent and bright giant structures. The building shines with endless brilliance under the night moon.

Leaving the leaves inside to recover his strength, Xu Yang went out to the balcony while sorting out his clothes.

As far as the eye can see, there are large buildings of amazing size everywhere. Most of them are the branches of major companies in Anjiu City. Giant signs corresponding to the companies are hung everywhere. The colored fonts are projected into the air and float slowly, clearly delineating the company's jurisdiction. , each other clearly, there is no risk of going the wrong way. People spend their whole lives in these giant buildings, and most companies only need to go to four places in their lifetime: schools, work stations, restaurants, and dormitories.

There are 49 such giant commercial buildings in total, which form the core area of ​​Anjiu City, with an average height of 500 meters and hundreds of floors. They are connected to each other by overpasses, aerial tunnels and metal covered bridges, establishing a three-dimensional artificial honeycomb that communicates up and down and integrates seamlessly. , Correspondingly, these buildings also left nearly 50 large foundations in Aizu City, permanently changing the urban form of Aizu City, hindering the planning of the underground city, so that it had to be divided into Huicheng District, No. 26 Highland and Katagi District three areas.

Due to the growth of these super high-rise buildings, living in the middle and lower floors of Anjiu City is very depressing, because there is no sunlight at all, and no rainwater can be received, so there is no greening at all. The area above the 100th floor has been monopolized by the wealthy and capital giants. Ye Zi’s room is on the 128th floor of the hotel, where Xu Yang has the opportunity to see the night sky and stars, and breathe fresh air. See how the sun rises.

The too strong impact made Ye Ye stunned for a long time. The experience she had gained in the past hour was particularly unique. This was something that no memory file or virtual image experience could give her. It made her unforgettable. I was powerless to think about anything.

The decoration of the entire hotel room was extremely luxurious. Xu Yang changed his shoes and opened the camouflage chip that Ye Ye gave him. After repeated inspections, he implanted it on the back of his left hand. The chip itself was as thin as a cicada's wings. It was integrated with his skin, connected online, and integrated. Xu Yang walked into the balcony, and a surveillance drone flew by, constantly searching for suspicious elements marked with red credit codes. After checking Xu Yang, he was directly sent by the chip. Affected by the signal of Xu Yang, he immediately skipped the inspection of Xu Yang, and neither confirmed his reputation code nor reported his information.

It seems that way. Xu Yang said secretly. The Century Pure Land project itself was designed by engineers under Xisheng, and would not be used to influence the actions of its own internal personnel, but was specially used to facilitate the management of all living beings.

The Century Pure Land system is used by Kyoto Unlimited to control the entire northern archipelago. At present, 320 million people are registered in Eucalyptus, relying on a system called credit code to maintain their decent life.

At birth, the credit code has a benchmark point, which is 50 for ordinary people, -10 or -30 for parents with criminal records, +10 for parents who are in the company, +20 for parents who are employees of Kyoto Unlimited, and +10 for every parent's net worth over 10 million , the upper limit is 200.

Crimes, acts of evil, complaints from others, or violation of company laws will deduct credit points. After the credit returns to 0, they will be "self-purified" by the Century Pure Land system, subject to comprehensive restrictions, and will be arrested or attacked if they are deducted to a negative number.

The best way to live is to keep silent, bury your head in your work, and escape back to your dorm when your work is over to be one of the crowd. Life's fault tolerance is too low to take a wrong step.

So discipline and regulation were embedded in daily life, and Xu Yang was almost suffocated just thinking about the pressure brought by this system. He walked to the balcony and looked down, it was pitch black, like a bottomless abyss. Below the Xisheng Hotel and above Aizu Castle, in this quiet and high-pressure middle area, I don't know how many people are slowly eroding.

Inside the hotel, the internet-connected furniture and floating eyeball robots meet all their needs. They move autonomously, fill the bathtub with hot water, bring plates of food to replenish their energy, play pleasant music, and are intelligent The screen automatically lights up, and while detecting their current mood index, the corresponding TV program is playing. Now it is showing a reality show. I found 100 desperate guys and sent them to a desert island. With the blessing of technology, it can be adjusted to each player. 's personal picture, UU reading www.uukanshu. com already has 34 cameras whose images are motionless, fixed looking at the sky, or pitch black.

The scream of a crocodile attacking a living person awakened Ye Ye, she got up and watched how a Danshui crocodile swallowed a life. This show was very interesting. Before she went to see Xu Yang, she watched it for a long time. Survival games are truly unique. She took the fried shrimp from the plate while watching the rest of the people struggling to survive for the 1 million prize.

"This place is not bad." Ye Zi squatted on the dark red soft mat, "I will share the key with you, and you can live here in the future. It was originally 198,000 yuan a night."

"They can only live here for 5 days to get the bonus. Why is this?" Xu Yang looked at the survivors in the reality show.

Ye Zi looked at Xu Yang and immediately understood his plan.

"If—" Ye Ye said quickly, "if you don't want to fight it, but want to join it, everything will become very simple... We leave the seeds, and then you can become a member of Xisheng, and everything is at your fingertips. "

"Would you like to leave the seeds?"

"What else is there to say? I haven't thought about anyone but you, and you have taken over every corner."

"I can not do it."

"No... This is not an invitation, this is the last chance." Ye Zi's voice trembled, "Maybe it is your only chance. Think about it! Xu Yang, forget about Aizu Castle, we will stay here, and then all your troubles will come to pass. It's all gone, now is the best time... let go of everything over there, all troubles are over, really..."

Stay here, give up thinking, and then it's over, it's a full stop.

"I have to go back." Xu Yang lowered his head and kissed Ye Ye, Ye Ye sighed softly, lay down tired and fell back to sleep, the smart screen automatically reduced the sound to a minimum.
