Chapter 23 The Psychological Shadow of the Prosthetic Eye
The car drove to the suburbs and stopped in front of an inconspicuous building that looked like an abandoned factory.
Angstra got out of the car first, followed closely by Zhufu Jingguang. He looked around and found that in addition to his own car, there were two other cars parked in front of the factory. Gin's Porsche 356a was not among them, so at least
There are two other Codename members or their minions here.
"Is this really a training ground?" Zhu Fu Jingguang was very doubtful.
It looks much worse than the training ground on the ground floor...could it be hidden underground?
"This is my first time here."
Angstra walked up to him, looked around, then pulled him and walked directly in.
The two of them stepped on the rubble that had not been swept away, passed by the abandoned large rusty machines, and walked towards the depths of the factory. The surroundings were eerily quiet, except for the sound of their footsteps. It would be very unusual if they came at night.
It has the atmosphere of a horror movie.
There are many corners and pillars around, which are very suitable for ambushes and sneak attacks. Zhufu Jingguang is very wary of this environment, but Angstra, who is walking a little ahead of him, is quite relaxed. He puts his hands in his jacket pockets,
The metal pendants on the clothes made a slight clanking sound, and his steps were as relaxed as an ordinary teenager who just wandered in to explore by mistake.
"Are you sure you are going here?" Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't help but ask.
"Sure." Angstra said without looking back, "I'm very good at finding directions."
They walked about another two hundred meters, turned down a staircase, and finally stopped in front of a tightly closed iron door. There was an identification machine embedded in the wall next to the door, and Angstra stretched out her left hand.
Press up.
[Identity confirmation completed, entry allowed.]
A line of words popped up on the recognition machine, and the door opened automatically. The surrounding light was quite dim, and the two walked through a long corridor and walked to the elevator entrance.
Angstra pressed the button and took out her phone while waiting for the elevator.
Zhu Fu Jingguang stood very close to him and could directly see the screen of his mobile phone. Angstra did not shy away from him at all. He directly opened the new email received on his mobile phone and handed it in his direction.
, so that he can watch it together.
[Seven underground floors. Calvados is also there.——korn]
Calvados, a French apple brandy; Korn, a grain distilled spirit popular in Germany.
Zhu Fu Jingguang recognized the two kinds of wine when he saw the two names. He had learned various wine knowledge before joining the organization. He knew at least the basic wine names and even tasted many of them.
Except for Angostura bitters, which are too concentrated for most people to swallow directly.
At this time the elevator came, the two of them went in together, and Angstra pressed the B7 floor.
"The sniper training ground is on the seventh floor underground." He put his phone back in his pocket, "Calvados and Cohen are the snipers in the organization. The longest sniper distance is about 650 yards. There is also Kian who is not here at the moment.
It’s almost the same with Ti. There are only a few snipers in Tokyo. If you want to get the code name, just surpass them at the longest distance.”
Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded and said nothing more.

[I thought he would ask if you were also a sniper, but when he looked at your left eye, he actually stopped asking. Was he afraid to hurt you, or couldn't bear it...?] The system sighed.
[Maybe both.] Jing Baiye didn’t take it seriously.
[Then do you want to install artificial eyes? There is no difference between the electronic artificial eyes in the store and real eyes. After installing them, others will not pay too much attention to your eye problems.] The system asked.
【...I will not embed electronic products into my body.】
Not only Belmode or Shirley, but Boss and Rum also asked Chuanjing Baiye if he wanted to get prosthetic eyes, as if everyone was more concerned about eye problems than himself.
... He doesn't want to remain blind in one eye. It would be best if his left eye can regain sight. However, the system and the prosthetic eyes in this world are both bionic electronic eyes, which makes him very repulsive after experiencing the war between humans and intelligent robots.
He can assemble an auxiliary housework robot like Little White Bee and let it exist in his life for a long time, but he cannot accept military intelligent robots with attack power and the use of mechanical organs to replace human organs-unless it is a real human being.
He was going to die, so he couldn't change it - he would never accept it when his life was not in danger.
In Jing Baiye's first life, people with disabilities were equipped with mechanical prostheses. Mechanical organ transplant surgery was the main treatment for some serious diseases. Those organs were even managed online. Once the patient's body was abnormal, the hospital could immediately know it.
This management method saved many people initially, but when the war between humans and artificial intelligence broke out, these people were also the first to be attacked.
For example, a bionic electronic eye that was originally installed in the eye socket and worked well suddenly heated up and caused the entire head to melt from the eye socket, or it exploded directly, blowing brain matter and skull fragments everywhere...
Although Jing Baiye had never experienced it personally, the teacher who taught him sniping showed him videos of victims being killed, and he also heard the personal accounts of survivors who managed to survive but whose physical injuries became more serious. This left a lasting impression on him.
It caused quite a psychological shadow.
Rather than asking him to overcome that shadow, he would rather use only one right eye - even though he knows that the artificial intelligence in this world is underdeveloped and far from capable of attacking humans.
The elevator soon reached the seventh underground floor. What came into view was a large open space surrounded by projection equipment, which was used to simulate sniper scenes.
Cohen was standing on the round platform, Calvados was below, and he saw Jing Baiye and Midorikawa Xin at a glance.
"Long time no see, Angstra." He walked over and pushed the glasses on his face to his forehead, "Is this...?"
"Midori Chuan Xin. Gin is allocated to my men." Jing Baiye said.
His attitude towards Calvados was somewhat complicated. Comrade Calvados often traveled to the United States on business. It was said that he was obsessed with Belmode, and even after being rejected, he still pursued her.
Jing Baiye didn't quite understand this kind of feeling. It was normal for him to want to pursue it, but to persist after being rejected made him very confused.
Calvados's behavior is either harmful to others or to himself. When he encounters a kind and weak woman, the woman will be annoyed to death. When he encounters a woman who is not so kind-hearted, he will easily take it as a free gift.
Tools are used by people to organize the dangers of some tasks. It is easy to die inexplicably.
Jing Baiye glanced at the clock not far away: "After Cohen comes down, let Midorikawa go up and try... Where is the conference room here?"
He doesn't have to worry about Cohen and Calvados making things difficult for Midorikawa Xin. He would only worry about it if Chianti was here. He had never seen her before, only heard Belmode and Gin mention it, and they both said that she had a bad temper.
.
Calvados pointed to the passage in the distance: "Over there. Will you come to conduct a sniper simulation later?"
"Of course, I haven't touched a sniper rifle for a long time, and I'm going to get pregnant if I don't practice." Jing Baiye looked at Midorikawa Xin, "I have something to go to the conference room, so you can practice hard here first."
"...Okay." Midorikawa Xin seemed to want to ask something, but he glanced at Calvados next to him and finally just nodded in agreement.
