() When Shen Tong left Rost Biochemical Technology Company, Los Angeles had already entered night. He was sitting in the car driven by Rost's driver and walking back from Santa Monica Beach. The bright colorful lights in the distance were like continuous beads. The same thing connects the whole city together, with giant display boards on top of towering buildings shining with colorful lights.

The Cadillac opened the windows, and a slightly cold wind blew into the car, blowing on Shen Tong's cheeks. He suddenly felt confused. At this time, an old song, a Shen Tong, was played on the music station in the car. It was the same as the film and television episode that I loved to listen to before. The film told how a reborn man emerged from the difficulties of life and grew into a powerful agent. At this moment, he followed the rhythm of that song and hummed involuntarily. :

Once again embark on an endless journey

I throw my memories out the window

Everything about me will start over

dark ocean dark sky dark

Loneliness helps me move forward desperately in the middle of the night

Starlight and moonlight hide in the darkness

In the boundless darkness, only I am walking

A bolt of lightning flashed across

Lightning flashes across the sky

There is light hidden in the endless darkness

Rost's driver, Lanks, looks like a pretty boy in an idol drama, handsome and muscular. He drives like a Chinese soldier, ignoring traffic rules and even treating traffic lights as lighting. This is While driving, the guy told Tong Shen what he had learned from dealing with the police over the years, which was not to talk to anyone before Dai Keli arrived and leave everything to Dai Keli.

They walked toward the city center, and the crowd outside the car window gradually increased. They kept weaving in and out of the slow-moving traffic. The various shops with neon lights on the sidewalks on both sides made people linger, and people crowded around. They all seem to be looking for the beautiful things they notice.

Advertising projections put up by the shops on both sides of the street were projected on their car windows, causing their eyes to constantly shake with various three-dimensional images, including scantily clad beauties, as well as many drugs and body enhancers. advertise.

Through those projected advertisements, Shen Tong saw some street-front shops with flashing neon lights on the roadside. Their plaques read the name of the guild hall. A scantily clad woman stood at the door. Pink lamps were used to illuminate the entire space, making the shop look brighter. When people look from the outside in, they can immediately be fascinated by it.

"Ranks?"

"Hmm? What's the matter? Sir, do you need anything? I can stop the car." Lankes said with a smile.

"Is this considered the red light district of Los Angeles?" Shen Tong asked, looking at the colorful signboards in front of him.

"Red light district?" Lankes didn't react for a while. The term "red light district" only appeared in Chinese vocabulary. Of course Lankes had never heard of it, but he probably guessed what Shen Tong meant, "You mean Guildhall Street?”

"Club?" Shen Tong noticed the billboards outside the car window and said, "Yes, they are the ones."

He looked out the window. In the projected advertisements that flashed before his eyes, there were not only European porn queens, stockings and high-heeled girls, but also majestic cowherds, Japanese girls, and extremely black African girls.

"This is an American habit. Guild halls are generally a guarantee of quality. At first, only the high-end establishments near the coast were called guild halls. Later, all the girls claimed that they had worked in guild halls, and when they opened a shop, they were also called guild halls. , which means that if you do a good job, you can make a man happy." Lankes said, turning back to look at Shen Tong and then said, "Would you like to come? I can wait for you."

"Haha, forget it." Shen Tong smiled evilly and rejected Lankes's kindness.

"Don't be afraid, I won't tell others. I'm the boss's driver. I know what to say and what not to say." Lankes said with a smile on his face.

"No need." Shen Tong replied coldly.

"If you think the quality here is too low, I can take you to the coastline. The girls there will definitely make you happy." Lankes repeatedly asked Shen Tong if he wanted to have fun, which made Shen Tong a little bit nervous. Son was disgusted. He felt that Lankes actually wanted to park here and have some fun.

Shen Tong deliberately did not answer Lankes's words. At this time, some advertisements on the roadside that said some hell medicine could help you find your past and present lives aroused his curiosity.

"What is hell medicine?" Shen Tong suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Lankes suddenly turned to look at Shen Tong out of curiosity. It was obvious that he hadn't pulled it out from the guild hall yet, so he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Don't you know what hell medicine is? You Chinese people Is there no drugs in the country?”

"But I've never heard of hell medicine. Maybe it has a different name."

"The actual scientific name of this thing is sub-suicide. I heard that by taking this drug, you can have a near-death experience and at the same time get the memory of the body you are using. You can see that the body you are using was originally What does it do? Some people also say that this thing can also create a dialogue between people and the body they are using. Who knows if it is true or not, but now there are people selling this medicine everywhere on the market, and there are also companies that specialize in providing second-hand bodies. , and then inject this drug into people to make them experience this strange feeling."

The sub-suicidal agent Lankes mentioned reminded Shen Tong of what he learned at the International Criminal Police Academy. At that time, the teacher who specialized in teaching techniques to solve crimes said that this kind of agent would cause people to overdose and cause heart failure in a short period of time. , or even the heart stops beating, but the person will not really die. The person's memory consciousness chip will collide with the subconscious memory consciousness of the body used during suspended animation, and a dialogue will occur. Therefore, when solving some clueless murder cases, jing Fang will use this sub-suicide agent to derive the body's original memory.

"Have you ever played with this thing?" Shen Tong asked curiously.

"No, this thing is too expensive, and the steps are complicated. You need to back up your memory and body before playing. It's very expensive. You can get thirty to forty thousand dollars at a time, which is more than my monthly salary." Lankes said with a lewd smile. , "With this money, I might as well go and have fun for a while. You know, I have changed my body. I am actually eighty-six years old this year. But because of the technology of memory consciousness chip and clone body, I can still make those bitches scream in bed. So sometimes they even treat me to dinner, saying that they are so happy." When Lankes mentioned this, he laughed again.

"Haha, then you can open a store later and be the front-runner." Shen Tong and Lankes joked, "That's good."

Haha, Lankes laughed when he heard what Shen Tong said. He took out a pack of cigarettes from the armrest and handed it to Shen Tong and asked, "Do you want to smoke?"

"Thank you, I smoke this." Shen Tong didn't know why when he saw the cigarette in Lankes' hand, he thought of Nina. He couldn't help but take out the box of Marlboros from his pocket, then lit it and took a deep breath. After one sip, a wonderful feeling of rebirth arose spontaneously. He suddenly felt that he was truly alive. He could make fun of the poor, smoke and talk nonsense. This was called life.

The two of them were chatting, and then the car turned to the right and entered the place where Shen Tong was going to stay. This was a group of villas. They bought them about fifty meters apart. Most of the villas were three- or four-story European-style buildings with tall floor-to-ceiling windows. , Greek Doric columns, and some individual villas were built into small castles, with pointed roofs painted in various colors.
