Ultimate Assassin: Start as the sixth floor in the Continental Hotel

Chapter 375 Rule No. 0｜Mission Impossible: The Final Weapon (5)

In the dim room, only an old, dim light bulb was glowing.

It looks like no one has been here for a long time. The ground is full of dust and there are spider webs hanging on the walls. You can vaguely see a figure sitting on a chair deep in the room. It may be a sculpture, because it is so quiet here. You could hear a pin drop, but there was no sound of breathing from that figure.

As for why it wasn’t said to be a corpse…

Because there is no smell of blood here, and there are no corpse spots or traces of decay on the surface of the figure, it can't be a human specimen, right?

only……

I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but it seems like... the knuckles of the sculpture moved?

-------------------------------------

"Ahem...that's it."

Professor Gloria looked at the abandoned carriage in front of him, coughed and said.

This is the interior of the Atlanta train station. It seems to be a warehouse where old train carriages are stored. When Ethan and his team arrived here with Professor Gorea, Benji once wondered whether Gorea was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Inventions and creations that are enough to change the world structure, why don't you at least come to a laboratory?

Old carriage? Are you serious?

Any thief could steal the experimental results! (Although even thieves may not come to this shabby place)

"I hope Gippetto is safe and sound..." Goria said softly, looking at the rusty carriage door. "Can you help me, gentlemen?"

"Let me do it."

Ethan looked at the blood dragon who was not moving at the side. He stepped forward and grabbed the door handle of the carriage with some helplessness, and struggled to open the iron door.

"Quack, quack, quack..."

Dust floated out from the carriage, and everyone covered their mouths and noses. Except Blood Dragon, he did not make any move. He just stared at the darkness inside the door without saying a word, as if he was thinking.

"Gipetto? Gippetto, are you there?" Goria coughed violently. He already had tuberculosis, and his face was a little red and purple from being choked by the dust, but he still shouted inside. "Gipetto, I'm back!"

"Click."

"Click."

"Click click click click..."

Deep in the carriage, there was a slight sound, a bit like the sound of gears turning.

On the seat, the figure slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.

"So, who is this Geppetto..." Ethan frowned and asked Professor Gorea, but Professor Gorea did not answer. Just as he was about to step into the carriage, there was a sound of footsteps in the shadows inside the carriage. , then...

"Welcome back, father."

A person walked out of the carriage and spoke to Gorea.

He has long brown hair, is tall but thin, and has dark green eyes, like two emeralds. He is wearing a somewhat worn brown casual suit and is smiling, but his smile is a bit fake. However, when he saw that his "father" had brought many people, he was obviously uncomfortable: "You are..."

"It's too late, Gippetto, we have to leave here as soon as possible." Goria said eagerly, "Take your things and hurry up!"

"What on earth is going on?" Ethan had had enough of Blood Dragon and Gorea's pretense of being deaf and dumb. He said coldly, "I need a reasonable explanation now, Professor Gorea."

"You didn't realize that you are still the ace agent of the IMF, Tom." Blood Dragon looked at the helpless Gippetto with a cold smile, "Should I tell it for you, or should you tell it yourself?"

"He is the research result that is enough to change the world structure." Professor Gloria could only lower his head at this time and said with some bitterness, "He is my son... but he is also a robot."

"...I'm sorry, what did you say?" Ethan felt as if there was something wrong with his ears at this time. He looked at Geppetto's appearance carefully, "You said...Gipetto is a robot?!"

"And it's a robot that even the IMF's ace agent can't distinguish." Blood Dragon sneered and added, "Pinocchio Project prototype, PN-01 'Father of Machinery', Gippetto Mach."

"Where did you hear that..." Professor Gloria looked at the blood dragon in astonishment. "you……"

"You can think of me as a prophet, Professor Goria. I know much more than you think." The blood dragon tapped his temple with his index finger, "And I also know how special Gippetto is. place...so there is no need for you to hide it."

"Tell the IMF team, otherwise, I don't think either of you will be able to leave here today."

"……Ugh."

Gorea sighed and was about to say something when Gippetto rushed forward and protected Gorea behind him: "Please don't do this. Although I am a robot, I will not harm humans. Please Don’t force my father to do something he doesn’t want to do!”

"Then tell me, Gippetto... what are the laws of robots?" The blood dragon smiled slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his one eye, and asked softly to Gippetto.

"The first law is that robots must not harm humans, or cause harm to humans through inaction (stand by)." Gippetto replied seriously and at a very fast speed, "The second law is that as long as it does not violate the first law Next, robots must obey human orders."

"The third law, without violating the first and second laws, robots must protect themselves."

"That's all?" The blood dragon's one eye narrowed, "I told you I was a prophet...are you sure you want to continue to hide it?"

"Professor Gorea."

There was a very human look of hesitation on Gippetto's face. It was obvious that the reason why Gippetto was a special existence was because of what the Blood Dragon said, what Professor Gloria wanted Gippetto to "hide". It has a lot to do with it.

"It's okay, kid, there's nothing to hide." Professor Gloria shook his head slightly, "Yes... I did add an extra one to the three laws, but this is all to protect humans."

"On top of the three major laws, there is another...law zero."

"Law No. 0, robots must not harm the human race, or cause harm to the human race through inaction (stand by)..." Gippetto could only say softly, "Father said that this is a necessary requirement that needs to be imposed on robots to ensure the survival of mankind. constraint."

"bass!"

The sword flashed.

Ethan and others on the side didn't even see what happened. They saw the blood dragon and Geppetto disappear from the place. A scarlet straight knife was placed next to Professor Goria's neck, and Jippetto. Peto was resisting the blade, and the blade even cut a gap in its arm. Gippetto's free hand was clenched into a fist and was firmly grasped by the blood dragon.

And the owner of that straight knife is Blood Dragon.

"What are you doing?" Ethan frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.

"Look, Professor Gloria."

The blood dragon's one eye narrowed slightly and he said with some mockery.

"That's the difference your 'Rule Zero' makes."
