Deceitful Game

Chapter 306 Lin'erdan's Skull in the Birdcage

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Shi Yue looked at Ming Po, who was standing blankly at the door, and said irritably, "What's wrong? Aren't you welcoming me? Move aside, I need to talk to you!" "Oh, nothing. I just suddenly remembered something..."

As Mingpo spoke, she welcomed Shiyue in and closed the door.

He turned to look at Shi Yue, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Her current style is completely different from her rock and roll style in her previous life.

She no longer wore those silly sunglasses, and her hairstyle became quite cyberpunk.

Her hair had a very asymmetrical gradient; on the left side, it was short hair that reached her ears, with a rather large string of earrings hanging from her earlobes, while on the right side, it was long hair that reached her waist, without any earrings.

Her hairstyle resembled a crescent moon, giving it a sharp, angular feel.

Her facial features have also undergone some minor adjustments, giving her a more stern and imposing aura. Perhaps it's because of the implanted prosthetic eye, or perhaps it's because her overall demeanor has changed, but her previously lifeless eyes now appear much larger even without colored contact lenses.

The clothes I wear have also become more formal... or rather, I've become much more like a corporate slave.

The upper body is dressed in an executive department uniform that is very similar to Mingpo's. The long, white trench coat with a stand-up collar and a slightly cyberpunk style gives off a very spy vibe.

The difference is that Mingpo is wearing pants, while she is wearing a short skirt and black stockings.

The only difference is that Shiyue has two dark green circuit board patterns on his shoulders, unlike Mingpo.

This is the M2 logo. Logically, Perdue should also have one, but he hasn't had time to change into his uniform yet.

"Little Sister Shi..."

Mingpo looked at the suitcase Shiyue was carrying: "Why did you deliver it yourself?"

These were special supplies that Mingpo requested from the company before leaving home, but unexpectedly, Shiyue, Mingpo's boss, delivered them herself. "I haven't seen you in a long time, I missed you."

Shi Yue grinned mischievously and placed the briefcase by the door: "What's wrong? That shit-eating look on your face, that's not like you."

"You're the one who ate shit."

Mingpo said irritably, "I do miss...the people at the research institute."

"Brother An and the others?"

As Shi Yue spoke casually, she helped Ming Po open the briefcase and assembled it with remarkable speed: "Oh... I see. You mean you're wondering if they've become charlatans, right?"

"I feel like I can't escape."

Mingbo's voice was deep: "Improving tolerance to liquid chips... this kind of experiment clearly goes beyond the scope of 'increasing immunity.'" "Yes."

Shi Yue, however, didn't seem to care: "If there's anything you don't understand, just ask my husband later. Don't overthink it; overthinking will only lead to trouble. You're an M1 now, on par with him. If that doesn't work, I'll ask him for you; I'm a higher-ranking officer than him!"

She quickly assembled the device.

It was a device that resembled both a lantern and a birdcage, and its code name was "Birdcage".

This is actually a type of prosthetic body, nominally an "external mechanical brain" specifically designed for use by people in a vegetative state. Even if someone has Alzheimer's disease, they can use it to regain a significant portion of their functions.

But in reality, it is actually a research instrument... or rather, a torture device.

Its function is to stimulate and take over the brain of a person who only has one head, and to provide the corresponding life-sustaining functions.

It has a multi-functional interface.

It can be integrated with a full-body cybernetic body to pilot a humanoid mech... or project consciousness into an animal's body. It can provide the ability to communicate, and can also connect to a computer to directly import customized illusions, using this method to search for shallow memories, interrogate, or torture the other party.

Just like the "brain in a vat".

"Your base... is really big."

Shi Yue glanced back and sighed, "It's much bigger than mine. Next time I'll take you to see my doghouse, it's so cramped it'll make you sick. ... Wait, bro, why is yours all books? I don't remember you being that fond of reading."

As she spoke, she strolled around Mingper's base with her hands behind her back.

Then, after walking a few steps, he looked down and saw Lin Ya's head.

Shi Yue's expression became subtle. He glanced back at Ming Po, then back at Lin Ya, whose black cloth had been shaken off and whose expression was extremely complicated.

Hope, despair, fear, pleading... intense emotions coalesced together, and if time were frozen at this moment, it could be displayed as a work of art.

"Awesome, bro."

Shi Yue exclaimed, "Long time no see! Is XP this heavy now? Where did you get it from?"

"These are scrapped mining machines."

Mingpo walked up from behind, carrying a "birdcage": "I picked it up from Nest City."

Shi Yue squatted down in front of the table and approached the petri dish containing Lin Ya.

Her face was pressed against the glass of the petri dish, her eyes wide as she stared at Lin Ya's trembling eyeballs and the cracked flesh and blood vessels on her neck. "She's quite pretty."

She sighed and tapped the petri dish, just like tapping a goldfish tank.

"Wow, that's awesome, Xiaoming. You actually have moments of kindness?"

Without turning his head, Shi Yue said, "I thought you were a puppet who only moved when ordered to move, and wouldn't move at all otherwise. You actually dared to save abandoned mining machines that are subject to destruction?"

"How do you know I don't keep her as a pet?"

Mingpo spoke softly as she opened the storage device.

He dipped his hand into the water, grabbed Lin Ya's hair, and pulled her head out of the water.

Splash splash splash splash...

Green preservation fluid dripped down her neck.

"Hey, you're not washing your hands again!"

Shi Yue complained loudly, "The operating procedures require... you're launching a full-scale attack!"

"It's not a big problem. The birdcage has a sterilization function."

As Mingpo casually put Lin Ya's head into the "birdcage" device, he did so.

The vitamin solution was very gentle; you wouldn't feel any pain even if you opened your eyes inside. But obviously, placing the incision on the basement directly through the neck would be extremely painful… Lin Ya's expression twisted in pain.

However, this process cannot be omitted.

With high-speed calculations, it only took three minutes to perfectly connect every nerve and blood vessel in her body.

Besides her neck, her forehead and the back of her head were also covered with thin tubes. They were so numerous and densely packed that she looked like Medusa with snakes for hair. Mingpo pressed a button.

"Powered on."

Accompanying the mechanical female voice was a shrill scream, as mournful as a banshee's.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!"

Mingpo reacted quickly, reaching out and clicking to silence her again.

"Type after you calm down."

Mingpo stretched out her finger, circled the birdcage, and tapped Lin Ya's forehead.

She clearly felt the touch on her forehead and was so moved that she burst into tears.

The vitamin fluid in her body had not been completely expelled, and the tears that flowed from her body at this moment were green.

Mingpo carried the birdcage to the washing machine in the room.

This washing machine comes with a drying function.

So Mingpo hung the birdcage inside like a roast goose in a deep well and turned on the one-button drying function.

"You bastard!"

Shi Yue walked over and quickly turned off the heater and reduced the fan speed to the lowest setting: "Don't actually roast someone!"

She turned on Lin Ya's mute button and instructed her, "Remember to tell me if you can't breathe."

"……good."

Lin Ya answered obediently.

Her voice wasn't fully tuned yet; there was still a hint of mechanical in her voice.

"Let our little bird roast inside for a while first."

Shi Yue walked over and patted Ming Po on the shoulder, gesturing for Ming Po to come over to her: "I have something to ask you."

Mingpo probably already knew what Shiyue wanted to ask, so he shrugged and followed.
