Chapter 12 Nightcrawler
Of course, the main problem is that monsters are not machines. Most monsters cannot be fooled by cloned mice. Quite a few monsters do not seem to regard clones as human beings, such as the 001 pen. It cannot be activated. If specifically stated, temporary workers must still be used.
Therefore, a large number of guard drones are naturally deployed on the floor of the technical department to prevent loss of control in various senses, so that the general manager can destroy corpses and physically delete them anytime and anywhere with a snap of his fingers.
What Li Pan is worried about now is that he encountered a deletion failure on his first day at work. God knows what happened in the technology department that caused everyone to delete files. This company does not have access to the external network, and hackers cannot get in. I don’t know what happened, but if Li Pan rushed in rashly, and those security drones failed to recognize his face, and he was suddenly stunned on the spot, the company probably wouldn’t even shed a drop of crocodile tears, so it would just grab a passerby to take over as the general manager. .
Moreover, Li Pan tried to make a phone call to test the situation, but the cleaners refused to take the job from the technical department. Apparently, something had gone "out of control" in some sense.
So Li Pan thought about it and evaluated the risks and benefits himself. It was really not worth it to behave like this. It's better to leave it alone, or at worst, it will be postponed until three days later, and the general department will send a technical director to clean up the mess.
Anyway, whoever wants to do it will do it, and he won't take the blame.
In this way, I walked around the head office building from top to bottom. I became familiar with the layout and topography of the entire office building. I recognized the connections of each department. Then I typed the daily memo on the next page. Li Pan also went to work on the second day. It's almost time.
In fact, looking at it now, he feels that working as a temporary worker in Monster Company, if you don't look at the 'monster price', the rule of at least three years of internship seems to make some sense.
After all, there are so many monsters in this office. Each monster has so many attributes, so many prohibited items, and there are all kinds of hidden rules that conflict with each other. And these rotten people in the company only use numbers to number them. The colors are different, the elevator corridors are weird, and the landline phone is a bastard.
Originally, you had limited rights as a new employee. You could only see those messy memos that had been deleted, deleted, altered, and scrawled. You basically had to rely on guesswork. The main experience had to be accumulated by the veteran employees. If you were not careful, you could be cheated out of your life. , just surviving is already very difficult.
But if you can't memorize the details of all these monsters by heart, how can your boss trust you to do things? If someone gets into trouble and overturns the car, the entire company, no, even the entire residents of the Night City will be killed together.
But these are not reasons. Now Li Pan feels angina just thinking about how he only earns 2,500 yuan a month. He has no motivation to work hard anymore. He will get off work at that time! Check out and leave!
"Bye, I'm leaving!"
'Goodbye.'
Mr007 held up the sign and was typing on the keyboard with gloves on.
He is much more active than Li Pan, and he is worthy of being the king of papers eager to become a regular employee. Moreover, as a monster, he can live in a company with special needs, which is equivalent to having a large single-story house in the city center!
In short, when Li Pan inspected the office area today, Mr007 was also responsible for updating the record reports of the cold snow zone and constant temperature zone. Don't tell me, it's really not bad to have a Death Apostle as a temporary worker, at least you don't have to worry about it dying. And to be honest, although the temporary workers don't have the right to go to the bathroom in the technical department, they can go around the monster warehouse in the red zone and yellow zone unimpeded. What a hell of a joke.
Well, fortunately, there was no problem at the warehouse. After all, it is a key area that is strictly guarded on a daily basis. If there were any safety hazards on a daily basis, the company would not have been able to operate for so many years and still be stubborn enough to adhere to this set of outdated regulations. .
From this point of view, the complete destruction of the company this time is probably related to the new arrivals or those monster containment tasks that have not yet been logged in and archived. However, Li Pan did not find any relevant documents in the former general manager's computer. If he wanted to find out the reason and what these old employees were doing before the group was destroyed, he might have to meet with the board of directors.
Li Pan was thinking wildly all the way and followed the flow of people to the subway station. The subway was still as dirty as before. Seriously, how did you wash away the flesh and blood while leaving the phlegm, dirt and graffiti on the car at the same time? ?
Just as Li Pan was watching a series of news about explosive shootings and cheating on celebrities, and waiting for the Dead Man Lotto results, he suddenly felt a touch on his chest and something jumped into his arms.
He was not used to connecting to the deep web from outside. He just looked at the web page with his visual system, and did not trust his body to the system operation, so he reacted immediately.
Um? Tram crazy, no, thief?
Of course there are thieves these days. After all, they may be one of the oldest professions in mankind. Of course, they now like to call themselves cyber hunters. Criminals always keep pace with the times. They also target public safety networks and compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage. Various specialized prosthetics have been developed, including multiple identity disguises that interfere with camera surveillance, small-scale electromagnetic interference to disarm prosthetic system alarms, short-term acceleration similar to neural enhancement, and micro-hacking systems with direct brain plug-in external interfaces. The fools who are immersed in the virtual network and dare to wander outside are turned into electronic puppets without knowing it.
If the other party is connected to a public network, or has purchased security insurance, that’s fine. At most, they will steal cash from your offline account, or plant a virus advertisement, or secretly throw a demon to block your account from the back door. , engage in blackmail and so on.
But if you are immersed in the deep web and cannot extricate yourself, or if you have not installed any security system anti-virus software, haha, then congratulations, they will cut your kidneys next.
And these thieves also like to commit crimes in crowded trains during commuting, especially those who have some spare money in their accounts but cannot afford a private car or armed prosthetics. This is called bullying honest people.
Li Pan estimated that he had changed into formal clothes. He looked so good that he was mistaken for a rich man. He quickly exited the virtual network, but don't scratch my clothes.
So while logging out of the website, Li Pan reached out and hugged the person in his arms around the waist. As soon as he took it, he felt something smooth, firm, and soft. Li Pan felt the attraction of his fingertips and couldn't help but pinch it. He took two handfuls, rubbed them, patted them, and played with them for a while. Then he opened his eyes and saw the female vampire from Yesterday standing in front of him, gritting her teeth and glaring at him.
"Let me go if you still want your hand!"
Li Panhan said,
"How did you find me."
The other party's blue eyes stared at him coldly,
"It's difficult for a commuting worker like you to work between two o'clock and one line. Are you looking for it? Are there any other places where you can go?"
Li Pan felt a stab in his heart, but the woman in front of him could probably stab him several times, so he had to endure it,
"Give me back the pistol."
The other party He frowned slightly, and then seemed to remember,
"Oh, I threw that garbage away."
"You threw it away...I tolerated it...then what did you do?"
The vampire glanced at him, and 'K' popped up in front of Li Pan. Private link's newsletter application.
Although it was really unsafe to chain up randomly, now that the crowded carriage was packed into her arms, she had no choice, right?
So Li Pan connected to the communication, and the female vampire's voice rang in his mind.
"Are you the broom leader?"
"It's all the mistakes you made when you were young. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
The vampire K glared at him and sent him a contract.
Um? contract? Li Pan took a look,
personal health assistant? Oh, it's a personal trainer...
Li Pan reacted,
"Fuck! You want me to be your blood slave!?"
K frowned,
"Don't say it so harshly. Strictly speaking, it's just a blood slave. Exclusive private business. Everyone I will draw blood once a month, and I will not seduce you, let alone interfere with your private life."
Li Pan looked at the contract, it was certified by the public safety system, and it was legal.
Yes, I don’t know whether it is faithful to the original work or a design flaw, but vampires need to suck blood.
According to various rumors and unofficial history on the Internet, these vampires of the Ye clan can be strengthened and restored by sucking blood. Li Pan has also seen this before. It is also said that when sucking blood, the vampires can have a similar climax with the person being sucked. The intense pleasure is close to that of high-intensity drug taking. Therefore, ordinary people can easily be seduced by the vampires and become their specially raised slave pets, that is, they are blood slaves.
Of course, generally speaking, there are conditions for being a blood slave. Only handsome men and beautiful women will be favored and become the pets of the Ye clan. Some idiots think they have a chance to become a member of the vampire family, but in fact they are overthinking it. They are just a dish for others, a humanoid toy. Ye's Group will only give "first support" to the core members of its companies as a reward for their loyal service to the company.
For example, Huang Dahe, Li Pan's neighbor, if he successfully joins a company directly under Ye's after graduation, is evaluated for performance every year, is promoted repeatedly for meritorious service, and stands on the right side in office struggles, then there is indeed a slim chance that he will be selected for reform by the group.
Going a step further, this vampire K certainly doesn't have a crush on Li Pan, he just lusts after his body, ahem. Greedy for his blood.
According to the contract, Li Pan only needs to draw blood regularly and sell it to the other party. It does not involve any sexual aspects, personality, or intimate transactions between master and slave, so it is unlikely that he will be charmed or be sucked dry by someone who cannot control him.
Moreover, the other party's contract requirement is to provide two units of red blood cells every month, that is, 400cc of blood drawn each time, and the quoted price is 4,000 in cash.
"Wow, 4000? Or cash?"
Li Pan hurriedly checked online. When he was injured, he went to the hospital to use blood. One unit only costs 500 yuan. Even if he doesn't have medical insurance, it won't be much more expensive. After all, this is the city of night. There is no shortage of dead people and clones. The Ye Group has already had a supply of synthetic blood. These vampires don't have to worry about food and drink. There are a lot of celebrities and celebrities vying to become their blood slaves.
Fuck, am I the one who is short of that 4,000 yuan? I'm afraid of being jumped by the immortal.
Seeing Li Pan's doubtful expression, K also explained,
"The price is very fair. Any more will attract the attention of the tax bureau.
Your blood is unexpectedly efficient, almost as good as strengthening potions, and it suits my taste." , does not contain synthetic drugs. There are very few healthy and pure humans like you in the Night City. As you
saw yesterday, I am from the company's field department and need your special blood as a combat gain. I found you I am also a company cadre, so I probably don’t want to be supported, but I don’t have many requirements. Two units per month, special medicine to ensure blood quality for self-defense are enough.
In addition, my rank in the group is not low. , as long as you are marked as a blood servant by me, no one else in the Ye family can touch you."
In fact, when he was in the military academy, Li Pan took a lot of strengthening drugs, but these hormones were probably the same as the prostheses, which were stored in the filing cabinet Let's reset it together.
But don't mention it, Li Pan is really excited about the light-blood servant mark.
The Ye Group is a powerful force that has defeated local snakes. It is the new owner of 0791. This K is also a master of the Nightcrawler unit. His combat power is probably worth tens of millions. In the future, when working for Monster Company, he will inevitably have to deal with them. If you ask for help, it would be nice to have a channel.
"Five thousand, and you have to give me a gun in return."
"Deal."
The other party was also very straightforward, and the 5,000 yuan arrived in the account in one click, as smooth as diarrhea.
So the two of them got off the bus together at the station. K's eyes flashed. When he walked out of the station, a luxury C-class coupe from Ye's Group stopped at the subway entrance. It had an elegant dark gold scepter logo and a shiny black streamlined body. , reflecting the starry sky like a mirror, and can even reveal the dust on the sleeves of Li Pan's formal suit.
Li Pan looked at the gold characters on the back of the car and couldn't help but swallow.
CAMARILLA, the Camarilla Alliance, the supreme core that dominates the Ye Group, the Council of Elders of the Vampire Clan.
"Get in the car and go to the hotel."
Fully autonomous driving, intelligent bodyguards, bulletproof, direct link to the security system, and free champagne and small candies. Bah, it tastes like blood, but the flaws are not hidden. This is the quality of company cadres... ...
K sat with his legs crossed and looked at him, rolled his eyes, and turned to look out the window.
Li Pan sat awkwardly for a while and asked,
"Are you a VENTURE? Or a TOREADOR?"
K couldn't help but roll his eyes at him again,
"Don't search randomly on the Internet, it's all Akainu's nonsense." , there are more than thirteen clans now."
But seeing Li Pan's expression of curiosity, K curled his lips,
"I am an ANCILLA blood knight, or KNIGHT, blood knight night knight, whatever you want to call me, in Night Walker The army has been in the army for four hundred years. There are still one hundred years before I can be promoted to elder. And the SIRE elder I serve is the oldest 13th generation ELDER in the entire vampire family, and one of the three PRINCE princes who rule the 0791 plane.
So You can believe that I can speak up in the Ye Group. If any vampire comes to trouble you in the future, just tell me my name." "Give me your name? Kthebodysuit?" The female vampire glared at him and spoke from her
teeth
. Squeezing the inside out,
"Kate."
Well, looking at the other person's look, as if he was about to rush up and tear him apart after calling him by his first name, Li Pan wisely changed the subject, "
So my blood is really good for you. Is it useful?"
Kate or K turned his face away,
"Yes, I advise you to be careful. Not all vampires are well-trained night walkers. Only a few people can restrain their desires and abide by the precepts. Most people Once the blood goes crazy, you will be so hungry and thirsty that you can't control yourself.
I don't want to see you next time with only a piece of corpse left." "
Oh... will chewing a little garlic help?"
"That's why I told you not to mess around on the Internet. Search!"
But K, this knight, is really talented. Not only does he have an exclusive car to travel to, he goes directly to the five-star hotel. When she gets off, there is an ANCILLA blood attendant from the Nightcrawler army waiting for her, giving her a large handbag and a key access card. Private rooms are also open.
So Li Pan followed K directly to the hotel. K skillfully opened the package, took out the equipment to draw his blood, made blood medicine on the spot and stored it in cold storage. He took 4 small bottles and put them in metal tubes. It looked like someone who stayed up late and worked overtime. An anti-fatigue sports health functional drink commonly used by men...
K drank a bottle on the spot, saying he was testing the efficacy of the medicine, but it seemed he couldn't help but chewed and licked it until not a drop was left. He even stuck out his tongue to moisten his red lips. , still unfinished, stared at the artery on Li Pan's neck.
"Hey, calm down. I don't sell my blood, not my body."
Li Panjing felt like buttoning up his formal suit.
"Hmph."
This K was quite arrogant. He turned his head, put away the remaining three bottles of blood medicine, took out two suitcases from the large bag, and spread them on the bed, revealing a pile of guns.
"Pick one."
