Chapter 359 Chief Inspector Linus of Mechanical City
Chapter 359 Chief Inspector Linus of Mechanical City
In the alley, Qi Hao had his hands behind his back, his fists clenched.
So how exactly do you knock out a robot?! Qi Hao has no idea!
"Um... I... Hello... Well..." As the robot approached, Qi Hao extended a hand as if to shake hands, but his fist behind his back was secretly gathering power!

However, the other person simply poked Qi Hao's outstretched hand with their finger, their tone changing from doubt to admiration and a reminder.
"Sir, the texture of your simulated skin must be the work of a master craftsman. However, even so, during this special period, the most important thing is to upload your consciousness data on time."
Qi Hao immediately released his grip on the hand behind him: "Eh? Ah! Yes, yes, this realistic skin is indeed unique to Scorpion Papa."
"Just as I thought, unlike me, I always forget to modify my appearance, and my limbs are too slender." The robot said, tapping its cylindrical mechanical limbs, which, with their brass-colored material, did look rather rudimentary.
"Oh, I've said so much without thinking, that's a bit rude. Let me introduce myself, my name is Linus, and I'm a police officer." Linus took off his police cap and saluted Qi Hao.
"My name is Qi Hao. I am..." Qi Hao replied subconsciously.
"What? Sir, you actually agree to let me call you by your original number! And so early, this... this makes me seem even more rude..." Linus was immediately uneasy, especially when he realized Qi Hao's name, his mechanically forged body trembled.
"By Madam! Number Seven without any prefix, how high is that?" Linus put his hat back on and gave Qi Hao a military salute. "Big Brother! The police mech GIJ (G-Series I Special Machine J-Type Core) sends its greetings!"
Qi Hao quickly waved his hand, "Why is this getting more and more grand!"
"Huh? I'm not..."
Box Spirit Wan Dou quickly went up and pinched Qi Hao's lisp mouth: "[╬??w??]?(˙3˙)Hey~yes~that's right, it's him! Could you please take us to a safer, more private place? We have some business to attend to."
“That’s no problem. If you don’t mind, I’ll lead the way.” Linus tapped his mechanical chin with his finger, making a tinkling sound. Finally, he thought of a good place and took the initiative to lead the way.
Qi Hao didn't follow directly, but instead glanced at the Iron Box Spirit, trying to see its expression.
"Stop looking, let's go." Wan Dou's actions put Qi Hao's doubts at ease. Since he could think of things like surveillance, he knew Wan Dou was even more capable. So he simply followed.
Along the way, Qi Hao didn't forget to steal a moment to appreciate the cyberpunk-like city.
The number of pedestrians was far less than the number of robots, no, to be more precise, there was not a single person at all. Occasionally a "person" would appear, but upon closer inspection, one could see from the details that it was a real, lifelike skin.
Even the elves are all from a paradoxical future, and they are all robots.
Without exception, they all seemed to be rushing home, busy with something, even though it was still midday.
Qi Hao was a little apprehensive. Right now, he was the only one here with flesh and blood. As for Roland? Because of the mask he was wearing, Qi Hao had forgotten about him.
Qi Hao remained silent, initially unaware of the journey's end, but after walking several dozen steps, a sudden enlightenment dawned upon him!
Damn it, it's the JC (military police)!
"Are we turning ourselves in?!" Qi Hao shouted in a very low voice, trying to find the box spirit's neck!
"Shh, don't be guilty. We haven't done anything wrong. After all, the Science and Technology City is also within China's territory and shares the same laws. We haven't broken the law. If they can set up teleportation barriers, of course we can pass through."
"Besides, you're a public figure. Even if there are ways to control you, they can't do anything about it. Why are you so worried? You should stick to the principles of Chinese civilization, okay?"
Wan Dou's shushing sound was like a joke; he didn't lower his voice at all, it was just the original audio.
"Damn it! Linus is still over there, he's from the Tech City! Can't you at least keep a low profile!" Qi Hao was dumbfounded. Where did he learn this loud, secret plotting behavior from?!
"Big brother, why are you guys parked on the side of the road instead of coming in? Could it be..." Linus had already entered the station and was looking in Qi Hao's direction.
Qi Hao's heart leaped into his throat once more, and he prepared himself for an unparalleled infiltration.
The more suspicious Linus was of Qi Hao, the closer Qi Hao's fist got to the buildings in the technology city.
“You’re not used to it, are you? It’s okay. This isn’t a serious place. In the past, even humans and ordinary elves could come in and have dumplings, although they stopped providing those foods after the city was sealed off.” Linus shook his head, seemingly reminiscing about the days when there were still people around.
Seeing that he hadn't been exposed, Qi Hao breathed a sigh of relief and followed Linus into the station.
However, Wan Dou's mechanical shell revealed a visible look of surprise, yet he followed behind Qi Hao.
Qi Hao followed behind Linus, completely unaware that he had already entered the inner area of the police station.
"Chief Inspector Linus, your badge and the orders from above have been issued." It was a simple, tracked robot that held a floating, transparent screen and handed over a badge.
However, Linus did not accept the badge that symbolized his identity: "I'm sorry, I don't want to waste energy on these troublesome and not very beneficial things since humans are gone, but I can delegate the necessary permissions for the order."
"Um... Linus, this is something that concerns your superiors, don't you really need to go and resolve it?" Qi Hao unknowingly approached Linus.
"No, the upper echelons are just a bunch of defective, low-performance robots, pure CPU short-circuit junk. I don't understand how machines, which are supposed to serve humanity, could be so full of robots without a single human being. What wire went wrong to make this happen!"
Great! It's a robot quality inspector! We're saved!
Qi Hao also learned that this is how robots should be cursed.
"Wait a minute! What did that robot call you?!" Qi Hao finally realized—the Chief Superintendent! Then who's above him?
"Beep..." Linus beeped, his eyes flashing red and yellow before settling back to their original red. "Big brother, come in with me first. Don't worry, I'm not just a machine that executes orders."
Linus then led Qi Hao and the others into his private lounge.
Meanwhile, Wan Dou's expression behind Qi Hao gradually returned to normal: "Controlled machinery, hmm~ that's how it should be."
