Chapter 9 Amaterasu·Safe Home

It was almost twelve o'clock when Amaterasu retreated home from Akihabara. Although she knew that the chances were slim and it was harder than finding a needle in a haystack, she still tried her best to search the checkered shops in Akihabara, hoping to find the robot. However, the cruel reality is that even if she was tired after walking, the doors of the shops were closed one after another, and she still got nothing. She didn't go to the police station either, not because she was lazy, but because she knew it was useless to call the police.This kind of theft happens every day in Tokyo.She's not the first, and she won't be the last.

Just now she heard from the manager of a certain checkered shop that the number of stolen models in Tokyo in a year is enough to open a museum, and it is not a small shop, but a giant like Shinjuku Kinokuniya Bookstore. Instead of spending time going to the police station, it is better to go home, have a good rest, and clear up your mood. She dragged herself exhausted and half dead, and finally returned home.A safe home, a peaceful home. Even if a war breaks out in the Milky Way, planets are destroyed and turned into stardust, and civilizations disappear and become history and legends, she believes that this small home is still the safest safe haven.

As soon as she stepped into the door, the music played automatically, which was the background music played by customers in the store. In the past, she felt that listening to the same set of music at home and work would break the space between the two and make her mentally unable to distinguish between the two places?Bring home the stress of work? Later, she heard from her colleagues that the client’s set of background music, specially arranged by a professional, has medical effects, and even has the effect of calming the mind and analgesia. Add household items here, hoping to find the same feeling at home.

"But, why is the music played in the boutique different?" Tianzhao asked. "Most of the things sold in fashion stores are not what you need. They are irrational consumption, so use strong music to disperse your rationality. In addition, the same is true for FMCG stores. I hope you buy more things that you sometimes don't need at all. Things." The colleague said in an expert tone. "FMCG?" "It's fast moving consumer goods, fast-moving consumer goods, such as instant noodles, shampoo, toilet paper, etc. The price is not expensive, but they are used quickly and a lot. Obviously you only live alone, but you are greedy for cheap and buy family packs. Or You’re losing weight, and you can’t resist buying a dozen sodas, then chocolate, cookies, potato chips and other snacks, and then you add a sale that’s about to expire.”

Amaterasu nodded. Although she didn't need to lose weight, she did show such irrational consumption behavior when she went to the supermarket. "There is also a kind of music that can be as addictive as a drug, which makes people play and listen to it non-stop. You feel so happy while listening to it, and you can't extricate yourself anymore." Experts throw out new things. "A lot of music is like this! I know there is a kind of 'earworm', which probably refers to this kind of music." "By earworms, you're referring to music that's good and addictive, but after a week at most it's annoying. I'm referring to music that's insane. After you listen to this toxic music, you'll gradually Amnesia, and finally the head will be blank."

"Is it that serious?" "We haven't tried it yet, and it's very likely that we will never be able to do it. After all, the cost is too high. However, during World War II in the last century, there was indeed a piece of music that made people commit suicide after listening to it." "Is it true? It's just an urban legend!" Amaterasu has been rolling around on the Internet as a hacker for many years, and has always been gossip, especially this kind of cold knowledge, it is impossible not to have heard of it. "Of course it's true. It's Gloomy Sunday. Hundreds of people killed themselves after listening to it. You can find it online and there are dozens of versions now." Billie Holiday ) version is best known and was banned by the BBC."

"How can music that kills oneself after listening to it be circulated on the Internet?" "Some music only works if it fits the mood of the era. Don't forget that 'Black Sunday' hit Europe during the Second World War and many people were living today without tomorrow. Some were struggling to survive and others were world-weary People with a little weak willpower will commit suicide after being stimulated." ——Is music really so magical? Although Amaterasu didn't quite believe it, he also started playing soft background music at home, and his mood gradually improved, although maybe it was just a psychological effect.

At least, now that I'm back home, although I still have concerns, I'm not as nervous as before. She was hungry and tired, so she bought a bento box at the convenience store and went home, ready to eat dinner alone. one's home.Dinner for one.life of one person.one person…… Although I live alone and live the life of a so-called house girl, in the past few weeks, I have been accompanied by Ning Zhijian.He is both a robot and not just a robot.His learning ability is very good. From the time when he didn't know much about the real human world, he gradually gained knowledge and accumulated bit by bit.

When she was not at home, she turned on the TV for him to watch, so that he could absorb knowledge. On the contrary, he has no interest in the Internet. "It was so hard to leave that world, why do you have to do everything possible to go back?" He replied. Ning Zhijian's robot is becoming less and less like a robot. He is like a person trapped in the robot's body, like a prince who has been cursed to turn into a frog. —What a trite idea! ——However, who dares to say that he is a house girl?I actually have a little sweetheart at home!Different little lovers, and no one knows.

She will not show off to others.She wants to monopolize this little lover and never share it with others. Boys love to play "Pretty Girl DreamWorks", she also likes it, the difference is that now she is playing the male version, and it is not so abstract and nothingness running on the computer, but a real robot. However, it was stolen because it was a robot, and its whereabouts are still unknown. She couldn't help but shed tears when she saw that the place where the robot was supposed to rest was now empty. After wiping away her tears, she took out the iced green tea from the refrigerator and took a sip, letting the cold feeling slide from her mouth down her throat and into her stomach.

——Why is it so cold? She felt that instead of drinking green tea, she was swallowing swords and piercing her intestines. "LDP factional struggle intensifies, Prime Minister may dissolve Parliament -" "National Ramen Contest, Representative from Sendai Prefecture won and became Ramen King—" "We haven't seen the bluefin tuna for three months, and experts say it may be extinct—" "The results of the sF Nebula Award are announced, and this year's winner is Tan, a Chinese science fiction writer based in Japan—" She couldn't hear a word of the news programs on TV. ——Don't think too much.Tomorrow, a new modeling job will start. Unlike Takeshi Kurosawa who came to Hong Kong to come to Ji Noodles to do spiritual practice and was featured on the international news. In addition to increasing his popularity, he also raised his level and suppressed the rest of the Japanese models. Amaterasu himself, the "behind the scenes" "Still half red but not black, no progress in career. If this continues, in a few years, she will switch to a cleaner in a modeling agency. Without the nourishment of romantic love, all the real hardships will be magnified many times. ——When will you be as popular as the black warrior?Or not at all? After she drank the noodle soup, she packed up half of the leftover bento and threw it into the trash can. She knows that many homeless people can't even eat enough, and they go to convenience stores in the middle of the night to pick up expired food to satisfy their hunger.However, I just have no appetite. Wrap up the garbage bag and take it outside for disposal. ——When will technology be able to go to the point where even taking out the trash can be automated? ——The hacker who roamed the rivers and lakes in the online world was actually knocked down by a mere thief in the real world. He was completely defeated, and he didn't even know who the other party was, so he had to blame himself for being careless. ——Whatever you do today is very bad, and you are not at your usual level at all. She stared carefully at herself in the mirror.The more you look, the deeper you look, the more you can see your inner self. ——Ning Zhijian, just treat it as the most beautiful dream I've ever had. — Now go to sleep, and when you wake up, act as if what happened was a dream. ——Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, there are still modeling jobs waiting for me to finish, and the work schedule is already full.Just as she was about to remove her make-up and restore her plain complexion and go to bed early, the doorbell rang. ——It's so late, who is it? ——Could it be that someone picked up a robot and sent it back without picking it up? --impossible.How could it be possible to have such a big spring and autumn dream? She watches TV right away. The camera is looking at the gate of the apartment building. A man in uniform, who seems to be a policeman, looks into the camera. ——But I didn't call the police at all, how could the police come to the door? The policeman rang the bell again, like a reminder. Amaterasu didn't open the door right away, but asked, "What's the matter?" "Police station." "I see. I just don't know how you came to the door." "I heard you lost a robot model." "Who said this?" "The manager of the restaurant, he said you were in a hurry, so he called the police on your behalf." ——It seems that the model-like store manager has a crush on me, so he quietly helped. ——But, have I left the contact number and address for the manager? No!She was in a hurry, and after paying the bill, she rushed out of the gate and hurried towards the subway station... However, her contact number can be found in the membership database.She seems to have been promoted to a platinum member, that is, ten get one plus upgrade. After letting her guard down a bit, she asked the police: "So did you find it?" "Not yet. I have to make some simple notes for you before I can start the investigation. Can I come up?" The policeman sounded a little impatient. "Can you come back tomorrow? I'm sleepy, and I have to go to work early tomorrow." Amaterasu replied.This is not an excuse, but the truth. The police could do nothing for her.They couldn't have gone to such lengths to find her an ordinary robot model, and she couldn't have revealed the truth. "I just need to make a simple record, and it doesn't take much time. I will leave when I finish, and you can sleep well." The policeman said sincerely. On CCTV, he was gearing up. It's cool, cool, a little cold. Amaterasu changed his mind and thought again, the police may not be unable to help him.What's more, the other party came to the door with good intentions, and I was really embarrassed to refuse. Originally, I thought that I was living alone with a woman, so I shouldn't just agree to strangers.However, thinking that the other party is a policeman, and the police station will have attendance records, he let go of his doubts, called the other party to come up, and opened the door. All her hacking secrets are in the bedroom and studio, as long as the other party is not allowed to enter. She had just turned off the volume on the TV when the police came up two flights of stairs.After Amaterasu let him into the apartment, he found out that he was a very young policeman. So young...if you dyed your hair blond, you'd be the same as the guy who hangs around the pachinko parlor. Amaterasu is not surprised, such a small case of theft can be handed over to this kind of inexperienced rookie. Anyway, there are not many things to do, but to check and record. There is no dead body at the scene, so there is no need to seal the scene. There is no need to pay attention to the details of the scene to collect clues to help solve the case. He used his professional instinct to search the furnishings in the room with his eyes like a hound, but not too much. The next conversation she exchanged with her was roughly the same as what she had exchanged with the restaurant manager.The only difference is that he asked her some personal data and entered it into the mobile phone in real time, probably into the police database.Coupled with some basic data of the robot model, after asking her for the photo of the robot, the so-called transcript was completed. The other party looked at the photo carefully and asked, "Is there anything special to remember? Like a signature or a serial number." "No." Amaterasu asked back: "Have you seen the CCTV footage of the restaurant? They said that only the police have the right to tell them to turn it on." "Really? We haven't seen it yet." "You may be able to see on the video footage who actually stole my robot model." "Okay, I'll go and have a look tomorrow morning." The policeman nodded. "Any questions?" Amaterasu asked.She was always a little uncomfortable with a man in the house. "there is none left." "I'm going to sleep, I have to work early tomorrow morning." "Then I'll take my leave, excuse me." The police retreated to the entrance, and said before leaving: "Thank you for your cooperation. In this way, when you return to the modeling agency tomorrow, I will start investigating. Maybe when you get off work, your robot model will already be waiting for you at home gone." "Wait." Amaterasu suddenly said quickly. "What's the matter?" The policeman hesitated a little. "Please hurry up and get the robot model back for me!" Amaterasu bowed slightly forward. "We will try our best to serve the citizens. Is this what you want to add?" The other party couldn't help laughing.Amaterasu said after a while, "Yes, that's the sentence." As the police nodded their goodbyes, the lights in the hall suddenly went out. The environment of the scene has not yet reached pitch blackness. After all, the TV is not turned off, and there is also light coming in from outside the house, allowing him to barely see the outlines of various objects, but he has not fully adapted to it. ——She is indeed not a good man and a believer. A black shadow approached him, and a long stick dropped from the sky at the same time, hitting the top of his head with great force.The long stick in his hand was quickly released.He was not prepared to fight this woman at night, let alone be in a miserable situation of being beaten. The club hit straight again and stabbed him hard in the chest.The pain made him regret why he didn't put on armor.He originally expected that the other party was a woman, but she was just a model, so weak that it was no big deal. After withdrawing the long stick, he raised it high again and slashed down.Originally, with his skill, he could easily avoid this blow.However, Amaterasu's house is too small, and the porch where he lives is even more pitifully small, leaving him no room to escape. In this fleeting moment, he thought that since it was inevitable, he had no choice but to accept it.The outstretched right hand didn't have time to retract, and the left hand instinctively raised to block it with the elbow, and immediately there was numbness first, and then pain. ——How can you be so strong, woman? ! What he didn't know was that Amaterasu spent almost an hour every day doing fitness exercises in order to maintain his figure and improve his figure.Life is good, and the strength is much greater than that of ordinary women. What's more, he didn't know that during the conversation just now, Amaterasu had faintly noticed something wrong with his words.How did he know he was doing modeling work?In order to avoid trouble when filling out the form, she always declared in the occupation column that she was only OL (Office lady, female office worker). Maybe the store manager told him. She could only see from the full-length mirror next to the gate that the man who called himself a policeman was standing in front of the gate, and when he said his parting words to her, he was pulling a long stick more than a foot long from the back of his coat with his left hand. ——It is impossible for the other party not to know the existence of this mirror. ——Or, he thought she was just a model with a pretty face, and besides being good at dressing up, she only slept with male models. ——You underestimate me too much.I'm not like other models. Although she didn't know what the long stick was, it was definitely not a good thing. The "policeman" - even if it is a policeman - is certainly not a good thing. She looked around the living room for a week, and at the dining table, she found the protagonist of the earlier advertisement: a mini vacuum cleaner. Yes, it is the protagonist, and my model is just a supporting role. However, after the commercial was filmed, the client gave her the protagonist.Like most electrical appliances in the house, it saved her a lot of money. She thought the vacuum cleaner was too big, so she disassembled it and put it in different places in the house, like dismembering a corpse.The long metal vacuum tube was hard to find a place to put, so I had to temporarily put it next to the dining table in the living room, so it was convenient for her to pick it up and use it at will. Now that she found out that the visitor was not kind, she first turned off the lights in the whole house, and then used the metal vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner as a weapon—beyond the original design purpose of the customer. This is probably a funny plot that even TV dramas dare not use. It can only be seen in comics or animations. Unexpectedly, I demonstrated it once at home. For this blow, she asked herself that she exhausted all her strength. She still doesn't know who the other party is. This attack can only succeed, not fail. - You may not have a second chance to attack the opponent, so you must hit it first. ——Yes, it's like shooting cockroaches with slippers.Her boldness is not comparable to many men. She hit the target with one hit, and then thrust the club head forward. After the opponent was hit, she intended to turn around and snatch the vacuum hose.Fortunately, the vacuum tube has a non-slip design, and the handle is still on Amaterasu's side, and the vacuum tube is still tightly held by Amaterasu. Amaterasu took advantage of the fact that the opponent couldn't grab the vacuum tube, and used his strength to lift the vacuum tube that had rebounded upwards, and then launched a second wave of attacks downwards heavily. The opponent had already prepared, but this time Amaterasu raised the suction pipe higher, posing in a kendo-like posture, so the force of the swing down was greater and more ruthless. The opponent let out a strange cry when struggling, but Amaterasu launched another wave of attacks. If he is really a policeman, Amaterasu has committed a very serious crime of assaulting a policeman. ——Who is the other party? ——If he wasn't a policeman, how would he know that I was missing the robot model, and then he would be able to find me? ——Could it be that the manager of the restaurant is weird?Everything is written, directed and acted by him?Is he pretending to be enthusiastic to get my word out, and then letting people come to find me? Countless questions flashed through Amaterasu's mind, entangled with each other, without answers. At this time, she heard the background music again. In a video game or movie, the music changes with the plot, and the music tenses up during times of tension or climax. In the action scene just now, the background music at home was kept soft, but she couldn't hear anything, only her own heartbeat. Under such a soft and comfortable background music, an unprecedented violence occurred in the family.The contrast was so great that it reminded her of some violent movies, like Kubrick's.She couldn't stand it for the first few minutes. —Such a violent scene, with such subdued music, is simply sacrilege. Unexpectedly, I am actually experiencing it now. She turned the light back on, bringing light back into the living room. The man fell to the ground, unconscious. I didn't look closely at his face, but only paid attention to his body. It turned out that he was quite big, with thick muscles, and he seemed to often go to the gym. There wasn't much damage to the home, after all, the fighting scene was limited to the porch, and the fight was quick. Her hand holding the vacuum tube was still trembling, she didn't dare to approach, and stared at him from a meter away. She remembered that the big villain in the movie often pretended to be dead, and only launched an attack when the hero and protagonist approached. - Don't make this mistake. She raised the vacuum hose and slammed it down on his body, ignoring his strange screams. Knock and knock. At the end of the knock, he almost vented his anger that the day robot was stolen. —Steal my robot! — made me run all day!Worrying all day! ——and now ran to my house to plot against me again! The man on the ground, after being knocked by the vacuum hose more than a dozen times, although he was still not out of shape, he was already as angry as a gossamer. At this moment, something suddenly fell into the house from the window and knocked down many things when it landed. She looked back. — not "something," but people. But before she had time to see who the other party was and how many people there were, she seemed to be struck by lightning, and she immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground. It was only three seconds before and after. About ten meters away from Amaterasu's apartment, a worker climbed up the lamppost. His job was not to repair, but to spy on what was going on in the small apartment with a telescope. Under the lamp post, a black van was parked. The commander of this operation was sitting in the car, watching the images synchronously transmitted from the worker's telescope. When the "policeman" was unexpectedly knocked down by the woman, the two team members waiting outside the apartment immediately changed their strategy and adopted a backup plan.The man who was monitoring the movement on the rooftop fell from the sky, knocked the woman down with a stun gun, then took out a towel, opened the door, let the accomplices outside the door come in, and quickly swept away the two people who had fallen to the ground in the apartment, so as not to have long nights and dreams. "Don't forget her mobile phone." The voice of the action commander came from the headset. The worker quickly slid off the lamp post and got into the car.Before the doors were closed, the van was heading for the apartment complex. One of them rolled away Amaterasu first, she was very light and easy to carry, and transported it to a van.The other took a moment to find her phone on the dining table and put it in her pocket. In the end, the two men worked together to carry the "policeman" away. "I'm sorry, there was an accident." The last person in the car said Xiang to the colleague who fell to the ground. The action commander sat at the end and said in a unemotional tone: "If everything goes well, why would you find us?" What is the origin of this robot model?Why bother to find it? The operation commander faintly felt that this operation was much more complicated than he imagined. They have already spent manpower and material resources to find out the details of this woman, knowing that this girl who seems to be messing around with men and women and taking drugs at most is not easy at all. She wasn't messing around, and she wasn't doing drugs.Her crime was far more serious. She is a hacker and has participated in many cyber hacking operations. A few weeks ago, she illegally downloaded a humanoid software and hid it inside a robot model. The customer's order they received was to snatch the humanoid software from the robot.Others are not important. She takes the robot with her everywhere, even when she goes to work.They thought about stopping and robbing on the road, but it was too crazy.This kind of picture is only suitable for TV and movies. On this day, when they were monitoring her, they killed Cheng Yaojin in the middle, and when even the people they were monitoring outside couldn't see what was going on, the robot disappeared on the dining table. When Amaterasu went to ask the store manager for help, they once suspected that she was playing a show: being robbed was actually just a delivery operation, and she found out that she was being watched by others, and planned to use this time to spy on them. This woman has always been scheming, and they had to guess and calculate from many aspects. ——However, if the model robot is really taken away by someone, the situation is much more complicated. ——Who is the other party?Or, what organization? The commander of the operation thought about it, and his record was always good. However, this operation may be far beyond the scope of his ability, and may even be dangerous.He can act like a hero and continue the investigation, hoping to make great contributions before being promoted, but if he dies in the line of duty, Jingzi will have a headache for the tuition fees of private universities in the future. I hope that the organization will lend a helping hand, what a wonderful idea! He can't ask his daughter to do compensated sex to raise tuition fees!It is the father's responsibility to provide for his children to go to college. ——If you can’t even do this, how can you be considered a man? The people at the top of the organization have said: If you can't handle it, you have to report it quickly. This sentence, under careful consideration, has a lot of mystery. Obviously, even the people above knew that the opponent this time was by no means simple, and there might be some important background information that was not disclosed. As an operator, you have to obey orders without asking why. However, the intelligence is insufficient and the risks are great.They are likely to fall victim to some storm.He knew that even if he was an action commander, he was just a pawn. He also wants to attend Kyoko's college graduation ceremony. He has done dirty things that have not been seen for decades, not because he was born ruthless, but because he had a clue to fall into the hands of the company, and then fell into one trap after another, allowing the company to grasp more tricks on him, and finally he was The muddy feet were deep and unable to get out.He thought he was a good person, but in this cruel society, good people often die badly. After weighing the pros and cons, he made a decision. I must not take the blame for this.Although there is a chance to make great contributions, but the risk is too great, it is better to let others receive the merit. The action team member sitting at the front was busy waking up the "policeman", and it seemed that he was seriously injured. As for that woman, she looks really good, she is worthy of being a female model, she is about the same age as Jingzi, let her sleep well, otherwise she will not have the strength to cope with the torture later. After obtaining the information, his subordinates can do whatever they want to her. Anyway, she is just a corpse in the end.
