Chapter 272, Smart Ban
The demon hunters have a very strong interest in Blackbird City.
The more mysterious it is, the more secrets there are inside.
They can no longer dig out much information on the conventional land equivalent to three freshmen in the west of the continent. If they still want to know more, the only option is to sneak into Blackbird City.
After many attempts, they found several different ways to enter Blackbird City.
For example, with the entry of material transportation channels;
For example, pretending to be someone from Blackbird City;
For example, if you explore directly around Blackbird City, there are always unsightly places in such a big city that you can sneak in...
However, these attempts ultimately failed.
They even sacrificed several lives for this.
In the end, they finally found a reliable way: to be recruited.
From time to time, Blackbird City will absorb some people from the outside into Blackbird City. No one knows what these people are going to do, but it is said that they will have a 'better life'.
The demon hunters took over the identities of some of the people from the outlying towns who were about to be absorbed into Blackbird City.This was also not easy, but after all, Blackbird Heavy Industry's external review was not as strict as within Blackbird City. They spent nearly a year collecting intelligence on the periphery while integrating into the local area, and finally succeeded.
Five of them were selected into Blackbird City; the remaining seven were not selected, but they were pretty good and could handle and transfer information from the outside.
Then, there was no news at all about the people who entered.
Elan Byrd is one of those people who is on the outside.The information that was supposed to be sent as agreed has never been received.
The people waiting for the information outside were also anxious.Today, more than a month later, a new opportunity appeared: Blackbird City selected their people again during the irregular recruitment.
Elan Byrd was involved.
They discussed it and allowed Bird to enter Blackbird City.
It was a big black car. He and more than 20 people in the car entered Blackbird City.
At first they were concentrated in a corner of the city.According to managers, they will then be assigned to different jobs and different residences.
Bird found an opportunity and sneaked out with a hidden pistol.
However, in the city, he found it difficult to move.
Walking in Blackbird City, he felt that the control Blackbird Heavy Industry had outside was nothing compared to what was inside the city.
This place seems to be an extremely huge concentration camp!
People are strictly controlled, there are patrols on the streets, and people without permission or serious business are not even allowed to wander on the streets.
The most frightening thing was that the 'civil servants' and 'patrol police' characters he saw all had extensive body modifications.Prosthetic eyes and limbs are the most common things. It is not uncommon to see those whose entire body has been transformed beyond recognition, with multiple robotic arms extending from the back, and the entire lower body transformed into a four-legged shape.
There are even pure, automated robots operating on the streets.
This scene made Bird's hair stand on end!
He was not an ignorant person who knew nothing about various situations. He was a heretic demon hunter. During the days of 'training', he received a large amount of information and knowledge in his mind. Before setting off, they also checked Many things about the Fachers family collected within the alliance.
The scene in front of him almost immediately gave him an idea: Blackbird Heavy Industry violated two major prohibitions of the empire.
"Automated Machine Prohibition Order" and "Smart Equipment Prohibition Order".
The former bans all non-human-operated (servo skulls are not counted as 'human') and automatic mechanical equipment; the latter simply bans any computer or computer-like equipment.
These two prohibitions are to resist the ubiquitous 'electronic devil'.
In today's imperial world, the word 'demon' may still be common, but the word 'electronic' is really rare.
According to the inherited knowledge he has received in his mind, any electronic device produced by humans, even if it is not physically connected, as long as it has the functions of automation and automatic calculation in this regard, it may be invaded by electronic demons, allowing This machine 'betrays' humanity.
Calculator will give wrong results; automatic robots will take up weapons to harm humans; automated production lines will suddenly start to assemble killing machines and carry out riots...
Any key node that is not controlled by 'human beings' will eventually betray humanity.
So the question is: How dare Blackbird Heavy Industries do this?
Are they... not afraid of death?
The Fachers family... aren't they afraid of death?
Bird realized that this was very important intelligence and information.
Although, he is still far from knowing why.But he doesn't need to know. Just passing back what he saw on the street is a big deal.
If this matter is revealed to the sky, the Alliance will immediately get authorization to start a war against Blackbird Heavy Industries - of course, it is not actually needed. The planetary governor can do whatever he wants on his own planet.
It's just that Blackbird Heavy Industries is special. It is the property of the Fache family. There is no explanation, and it is difficult to explain in a fight.
No explanation is needed now.
Even the Fachers family themselves cannot protect themselves.With something like this happening to Blackbird Heavy Industries, I'm afraid the people from the Imperial Tribunal will definitely go to the three Falches family worlds to investigate.
Moving on to the next step, the alliance's violent beating of Blackbird Heavy Industries is not as simple as getting authorization.If you are lucky and can apply, both the Astra Militarum and the Imperial Navy will come.
It might be a little harder elsewhere.In an ordinary imperial world, after applying, no one knows how long it will take to wait for the regular troops of the empire to come to support.
But in the Tianma Star District, this problem will be greatly alleviated.
The Pegasus Star Region is the core of many surrounding star regions, and is one of the second most densely populated areas in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region.The Pegasus Fleet and the Third Dragon Eagle Legion are mainly stationed in the Pegasus Sector. Their mission is to guard and inspect the security and defense issues of multiple surrounding star sectors.
It may be slower in other places, but if something goes wrong in the Pegasus region, the Navy and the Astra Militarum will come to suppress it in minutes.
In addition, the Governor, or the Governor's family, has a certain influence in the political arena in the star region. If something like this happens, there may not be a need for the alliance's troops to fight.As long as the intelligence is accurate and the evidence is conclusive, and the Alliance's troops are on guard, the Imperial Navy and the Astra Militarum will soon come to Raging Owl to wipe out the Blackbird Heavy Industry.
No... Thinking of this, Bird realized another problem.
The 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion, the Astra Militarum force stationed in the Pegasus Sector, seems... to have a close relationship with the Fachers family. Their main bases are on the three planets of Fachers!
hiss!
It's complicated.
Of course, Bird is just a secret agent. There are some things that he can't figure out, understand, and don't know how to do. That doesn't matter. He doesn't need to think about these things in the first place.All he has to do is clearly convey this information.
However, even trying to do this is difficult.
He could hardly walk on the streets of Blackbird City, let alone break out of the city alone.
Inside Blackbird City, the defenses are not that tight anyway.Although he does not have a formal identity and can pass normally, there are not that many patrollers on the street.As long as you dress in line with everyone else's and try to avoid eyes, you'll be fine.
A little slow, but at least I can move.
But if you want to leave the city, you have to pass through many levels, especially the outermost one, which is too difficult.When they tried to infiltrate, neither of them could find the way to the door. It would be hellish to leave now.
He was forced to wander around the city, trying to find his companions who had sneaked into the city before and ask for help.
He didn't have much hope at first.
What he could see and realize, the comrades who had infiltrated before must also be aware of it.With such important information, if possible, his companions would not remain silent and would definitely try their best to send this information out.
The reason why they didn't do that must be because there were very difficult practical factors, but they just haven't encountered them yet.
If he could find his comrades in the city, it would save him a lot of detours.
The only thing he was worried about was: Are his comrades still alive?
Fortunately, he wandered the streets for two days. Under the non-stop rain, he had nowhere to go to replenish food, but he made some unexpected discoveries.
In a hidden place, he saw a sickle symbol.
This sign is the joint signal agreed upon by the comrades before entering the city.
Seeing this thing, Bird knew that his comrades were not dead - at least not all of them.
Overjoyed, he found another arrow mark at the mark. After erasing it, he searched all the way. After a full day's work, he finally found it.
Knocking on the door, I met a child with modified eyes. He was pointed at a gun and found out that it was Tim Winter, but the other person had been disfigured...
Even though he had countless doubts in his heart, he still followed Went to a room.
Here, there is still a comrade lying there, but his air intake is less and his air is out more. He sees that he will not survive long without enough reliable medical support.
Bird's heart skipped a beat, and he had a very bad idea.
And this idea was confirmed by Wente: "There are only two of us left, and Oga is going to die."
Bird was silent, with a heavy heart.
But he quickly adjusted his mentality and asked: "I have seen the situation on the street in the past two days. The situation is very serious. However, you have been here for a month. Have you collected any more information?"
Wen Tong nodded, then shook his head: "As for the intelligence, there is some. We know that the implementation of the upper-level policies of 'Blackbird Heavy Industries' is similar to the intelligence we received in our minds about the 'Iron Man Heresy'. They ... They are breeding humans and then 'helping' humans evolve."
"This is reflected in the fact that they will continue to attract people from outside Blackbird City. These absorbed people will 'live and work in peace and contentment' here and are kept in captivity by them. Then, according to the quota, they will line up for 'glorious evolution', and They were transformed into the monsters that combine machinery and flesh and blood that you see on the streets."
Hearing this, Bird couldn't help but interrupt: "Won't the people who were arrested resist?"
"They can't resist. They have no weapons and no unified organization. How can they resist under strict surveillance?" Tim Winter said, "However, as you said, not everyone is willing to accept this fate. It is precisely because of this that we can survive. Xiao Si Ni... is the child you just saw outside. When we settled in his home last week, we got help from his family. At that time, his parents were still Yes, but yesterday, his parents lined up for 'Glorious Evolution' and were taken away. In fact, he was also going to be taken away, but Oga and I took him to hide, and Oga almost died for this... "
"Wait!" Bird realized another big problem, "Have you been exposed?"
Tim Winter's ferocious face showed a helpless smile: "Otherwise? Otherwise, why would only Oga and I be left?"
"Then we have to move as soon as possible..."
"It's been moved. This is not little Sini's home. This is a place where the owner has just been taken away to evolve gloriously, and the new residents haven't moved in yet."
Bird's heart became even heavier.
Although he already knew the answer, Bird still held on to his last glimmer of hope and couldn't help but ask: "Then... have you found a way to escape?"
Who knows, Wente grinned and showed a terrifying smile: "Yes, and I am waiting for you to come. Only you can do it."
Bird suddenly understood.
He immediately understood what Wente meant.
These demon hunters are people with certain spiritual talents, but not enough to become a formal psyker.After they are successfully trained, they will receive a special ability similar to psychic talent.
Wente's ability is the 'Flying Pigeon'. He can use his spirituality to construct a flying pigeon for transmitting information.
But the flying pigeon summoned by this ability is obviously not enough to fly out of Blackbird City, otherwise there would be no need to wait until now.
Bird's ability is a weakened version of mind tampering.
According to Wente, his method of escaping was probably to tap into his innate ability of mind tampering.
Bird said solemnly: "Tell me about it."
...
One day later, Bird waited nervously on the second floor of a house facing the street in Blackbird City.He looked down through the slightly opened window.
On the bed behind him, two men were tied together, covering their mouths with frightened expressions on their faces.
A little further down the street, several black, fully enclosed vehicles were approaching slowly.
