376.Old house
There was silence between the two for a while, Gu Zhuo and V looked at each other. At a certain moment, Gu Zhuo did see in him a feeling that he had only seen a long time ago. He was familiar with that feeling, but he never wanted to recall it.
"Okay, I understand, but don't say such things. Who knows whether you will die or not."
Gu Zhuo didn't know what to say, so he just said this.
But V just put his hand behind his neck. He fumbled around the back of his neck for a while, and finally heard a "crack" sound, as if something was being broken.
Then, V was seen holding a small, silver square thin chip in his hand.
He handed the chip to Gu Zhuo:
"This is my knowledge chip, which records all my knowledge. As long as you insert it into the armor or any body memory slot, you can immediately access all my knowledge without any delay."
Gu Zhuo looked at the chip handed over by V, but did not take it for a long time.
V raised his eyebrows and handed the chip further forward:
"Take it. You definitely don't have a memory groove interface on your body, and I don't know if there is a corresponding interface in your armor. If not, I can open one for you, very quickly."
V said it like this, and Gu Zhuo couldn't refuse. He sighed, took the chip, and held it in his hand.
While holding it in his hand, he asked the mechanic if he had any chip interface.
Unexpectedly, the mechanic told him that there was actually a chip interface on his armor, which was placed on the chest of the armor. Without even thinking about it, this design must have been made by Chaoying. She always planned ahead and was able to help Gu Zhuo in unexpected ways.
"No, I have a chip interface."
Gu Zhuo held the knowledge chip and inserted it into the groove on his chest in front of V. As soon as I inserted the chip, I heard the mechanic's voice and asked:
"It is detected that a chip is inserted into the interface. Do you want to import the contents of the chip?"
"Tip, the chip does not contain any viruses and will not cause any harm to the host."
After hearing the mechanic's prompt, Gu Zhuo didn't rush to import all V's knowledge into his mind.
He answered the mechanic in his mind:
"No need to import."
"clear."
But V couldn't hear the conversation between him and the mechanic in Gu Zhuo's mind. He asked Gu Zhuo:
"Have you imported it yet?"
"No, let's talk about it later. Aren't you still dead? You can't die. You won't die if I don't import it."
Hearing Gu Zhuo's words, V smiled and shook his head. He did not refute him, but just said:
"Just think of it as you blessing me."
Just as the two explained the plan and everything clearly, Aisha had completed the task assigned by V. She returned to the office and took an address to show V.
Gu Zhuo saw that the address Aisha showed V was a bungalow, which looked ordinary, but there were no other buildings around it. And behind the bungalow, there is a large open space, which is probably enough to park four or five large trucks.
"Master, this is a bungalow next to Old Jack. The original owner was a weirdo with a very weird temper who liked to be alone. Before he died of old age, he set up many traps near his house. Any young man who wanted to get close , they all quickly fell into the trap and died.
"And because his neighbor is Old Jack, two weird-tempered people get together, so basically not many people will go there. That's the address that best meets Gu Zhuo's requirements.
"As for the trap set by that weirdo, I just sent the informants from the underground city to clean it up. There won't be any hidden mechanisms that will threaten Gu Zhuo's safety again."
After listening to Aisha's report, V took another look at the address that Aisha handed over, nodded and praised:
"Elsa, you have always been very efficient in doing things."
After saying that, he then asked Gu Zhuo:
"how about this?"
"Okay, just over there."
"Okay, then I'll let Aisha take you there. As for what you want, I will send it to you soon. In the past few days, do you need me to send someone to assist you, or send some kind of machine butler? some type of?"
"No need, just leave me alone."
Hearing this, V didn't say much and asked Aisha to leave with Gu Zhuo.
Before Gu Zhuo left, he thought of the monsters in the laboratory, as well as Chaoying and himself after the mutation. He turned his head again and reminded V:
"V, if there is any research progress on those monsters in the laboratory, please inform me of the results. I must know the truth."
"good."
V agreed readily.
This time, Gu Zhuo really had nothing to tell V, so he and Aisha walked out of the office again.
By the time they walked out of the office, it was already very late, almost four in the morning.
But no matter what time it was, Gu Zhuo noticed that the light of the high-rise buildings or various ordinary buildings outside had never dimmed. It seemed like the eternal starlight, shining in the night that was no longer dark.
He also noticed that V had maintained a clear mind from the beginning and never felt sleepy.
Moreover, V will have to do a lot of work in the next few days. If he were a person from Gu Zhuo's previous era, he would have been exhausted.
Even Gu Zhuo now felt a little tired. Thinking of lying on a bed for a while, it didn't matter whether the bed was comfortable or not. Even if it was just for a moment, it would make him feel better.
"Perhaps in today's society, people are like machines and no longer need to rest. Even rest is no longer needed. No wonder they have lost any emotion."
Gu Zhuo thought silently in his heart, and he and Aisha got on the familiar elevator and walked on a familiar road.
...
When Gu Zhuo stood in front of the bungalow, his nose was filled with the smell of mold and flying dust.
That smell belongs to the ancient past, rotten memories.
This place is exactly what Elsa said. It is very close to where Old Jack lives. As long as you go around an alley, you can reach Old Jack's workshop.
"Is this right here?"
Gu Zhuo asked Aisha beside him.
"Um."
Aisha nodded, opened the door of the bungalow, and led Gu Zhuo inside.
Surprisingly, some of the most basic living furniture is still retained in the bungalow.
Gu Zhuo walked around the bungalow roughly. The bungalow has a bedroom, a small kitchen, a bathroom, and even a tool room and study room tucked into the corner.
It’s just that these furniture are products of technology in the cyberpunk era.
Most of their appearance has slightly changed from the previous furniture. For example, the bed is more like a hard marble slab than a bed. It is very smooth and has the color of marble.
But the strange thing is that there is no dust on these furniture, and the entire bungalow looks very clean and tidy inside.
Aisha's words dispelled Gu Zhuo's doubts:
"Before we came, I sent someone to clean this place. Otherwise, no one has lived here in nearly decades. It would be too dirty, and I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to live in it."
"Oh, you're so sweet."
"It's all the master's orders. I just try my best to do everything I should do."
Elsa's attitude in answering was also very respectful.
"By the way, the master asked me to give this to you. With this, you can keep in touch. If you need anything, you can tell him and let him prepare it for you."
Aisha said, handing something like a bracelet with a silver metallic texture to Gu Zhuo.
Gu Zhuo took the bracelet-like thing, looked at it, and then tentatively put it on his right wrist.
As soon as I put it on, the bracelet lit up, flashed a brighter color, and made a "ding" sound.
A transparent white screen immediately lit up on the bracelet, with only three names on the white screen.
V.
Old Jack.
Elsa.
"If something happens, you can directly wake up the bracelet and then contact any of the three contacts through the bracelet. The operating principle is very simple, as long as you control it with your mind."
Elsa explained.
"Okay, I understand."
Gu Zhuo switched the bracelet to sleep mode again, and the white transparent screen disappeared.
"You wait here for a while. After a while, it should be six o'clock in the morning, and what you want will be delivered to you."
"good."
"Then I'll leave first. Is there anything else you need before I leave?"
"Let's go, no more."
"good."
After Aisha finished speaking, she left the old bungalow silently under Gu Zhuo's gaze.
