Chapter 20230520

Lin Xian was quite confident about this password.

Since Zhao Yingjun had said it like that back then...

Now that Rhine Sky City was built by her,

the air defense network gap was left for herself,

and this door-opening robot was specifically designed to lock onto herself,

under all sorts of coincidences...

There must be extremely deliberate hidden meanings.

Lin Xian lowered his head,

staring at the trash can robot at his feet.

However...

After the green light in the trash can robot's eyes flickered a few times, it suddenly dimmed:

"Incorrect password, goodbye!"

Having said that, before Lin Xian could react,

the trash can robot seemed to run out of power instantly, lost its balance, and fell backward—

Clang!

A muffled sound.

This old robot, which had been lively and annoying, rolled to the side of the display case with its round body.

It seemed to be dead. ???

Lin Xian was full of question marks.

Hey, how could you just lie down like that?

"Can't be, there can't be only one chance to enter the password!"

The robot's hasty farewell caught Lin Xian off guard.

Back then, for a broken safe, he had entered the dream dozens of times and tested countless passwords...

So, he was already mentally prepared that he might not guess the password correctly this time.

If it's wrong once, just guess a second time!

What's the big deal?

He had just thought of the first possibility and wanted to try it directly; success would be good luck, failure meant trying the next one. Anyway, there were many other alternative answers.

Since this password was intentionally left for him by Zhao Yingjun, it definitely wouldn't be too difficult to guess. Just guess a few more times.

But!

This robot only gave him one chance to answer, and if the answer was wrong, it would just lie down and give up. What kind of setting was that?

"Hey, hey, wake up, wake up!"

Lin Xian walked over, picked up the trash can robot, set it upright, and patted its head.

No response.

"This..."

Lin Xian was a little helpless.

Looking at the rust on this guy's body, it must have patrolled and picked up trash under Zhao Yingjun's statue in the memorial square for decades, or even centuries.

It had weathered hundreds of years of wind and rain, so it couldn't just get angry and die because of an incorrect password, right?

"Could it be that this was the initial setting? For safety reasons? Only one password can be entered?"

Lin Xian couldn't figure it out.

But thinking about it, it was also possible.

After all, the future Zhao Yingjun should be well aware that she had infinitely looping dreams. Even if there was really only one chance, she could try it countless times on her end, at least once every night.

"This is annoying. I don't know if this trash can's door-opening ability is still there."

Through the museum's route instructions, Lin Xian already knew that Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall was located in the rear hall of the Rhine Museum, across a road.

Unlike the front hall, the rear hall was not a huge exhibition hall listing all the exhibits, but was divided into different small exhibition halls with different themes in each.

Compared to the front hall's documentary-style exhibits, the small exhibition halls in the rear hall had a stronger humanistic atmosphere.

And Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall, because of her lofty status, was naturally built in the independent building at the highest point of the museum's rear hall... Although it couldn't be considered the highest point of the entire Rhine Sky City, it was at least the highest point of this Rhine Museum, which showed its importance.

Tonight, Lin Xian's original intention for entering the dream was to take a look at Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall to see if he could find any clues related to the mirror.

This was today's main mission.

As for the passwords requested by the super artificial intelligence VV and the trash can robot VV, these were considered temporary missions that he could try again tomorrow.

If he couldn't enter Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall today, then it would really be a wasted trip.

However, on the other hand...

From the current location, to get to Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall, he would have to pass through at least three electronic doors: the back door of the front hall, the front door of the rear hall, and the door of Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall.

Without the door-opening robot, he definitely wouldn't be able to get in.

Right now, Lin Xian wasn't sure...

Did this seemingly out-of-power, lazy robot still have the ability to open any electronic door in Sky City?

"Let's give it a try."

There was no other way to go now, so he could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

Lin Xian picked up the trash can robot, which was like a corpse, and walked to the innermost part of the exhibition hall. According to the route sign, there was an exit at the back of the exhibition hall that led directly to the road across from the rear exhibition hall.

He walked to the end.

Sure enough, there was a steel electronic door.

Creak—

Before Lin Xian could get close while holding the trash can robot, the electronic door automatically opened and split in half, moving to the side.

"Very good."

It seemed that even if the trash can robot was in a state of suspended animation without power, its door-opening function was still there, which was inexplicably awesome.

Then it would be simple.

As long as he carried it across the road, entered the museum's rear hall, and went to Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall at the highest point, he could pass unimpeded.

Once he relaxed, Lin Xian felt that this trash can was still a bit too heavy.

"Let's pour out the trash inside, it'll be lighter that way."

He first placed the trash can on the ground, then forcibly pried open the top and picked it up, turning it upside down.

Rumble rumble rumble—

The messy trash inside fell out one after another, and Lin Xian also put the trash can robot on the ground, rubbed his hands, and prepared to change his posture to hold it.

But who would have thought!

Right at this moment!

The trash can robot and the massive amount of trash on the ground were suddenly lifted into the air, accelerated, and rushed towards the sky, as if attracted by a black hole or hooked by a fishing hook!

"Damn!"

In an instant, Lin Xian immediately understood what was happening!

He immediately looked up at the sky...

Suspended Vehicle Garbage Disposal Robot A37

These large characters appeared above his head.

It was the van-shaped garbage robot!

Just like the phlegm spat out by Big-Faced Cat and the tissue thrown on the ground by A Zhuang... Wherever this suspended garbage truck went, everything that was judged to be garbage would be attracted by a strange force and directly sucked into the compartment.

Swish! Swish swish! Swish! Swish! Swish swish!

The moment Lin Xian looked up...

The trash that had just been dumped on the ground, as well as the trash can robot VV itself, all flew up from the ground and flew straight into the suspended truck's rear compartment.

Thump.

The suspended truck's compartment closed.

It continued to drive forward at a high speed without any hesitation.

Watching the suspended truck drive away, Lin Xian was stunned.

He could understand the garbage that was dumped on the ground being recycled, but why would VV, which was originally a trash can robot, also be sucked in?

Did the trash can robot become trash in the end?

Born from the same root, why should we fight each other so urgently?

Soon, Lin Xian understood...

Most likely, it was still because the trash can robot was in a state of suspended animation, so it was judged to be non-combustible waste.

After all, it had chased him all the way from the square to the museum, crossing several roads without any problems, which meant that it hadn't been judged as garbage at that time.

"Ah, I forgot not to let go of it."

However, it was useless to regret it now. To enter Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall, he needed this door-opening robot.

Lin Xian looked at the rapidly departing suspended garbage truck and had to find a way to catch up and snatch it back.

Looking left and right, Lin Xian saw a man riding a flying speedboat descending from the sky to the roadside and preparing to lock his vehicle.

He had seen this flying transportation tool, which was similar to a speedboat.

There was this thing in the New East Sea City in the second dream realm. It seemed that the operating method should be similar. Although this thing might trigger an alarm after being robbed... but he couldn't care about that much now.

Lin Xian directly strode forward.

Slap!

He grabbed the man's right hand, which was trying to lock the car:

"Brother, I have an urgent matter at home, please let me borrow your car for a while."

Having said that, without waiting for the man to reply, he directly and politely squeezed him out of the car.

This behavior was already polite and gentle enough for Lin Xian, who used to be a five-star good citizen. The purpose was not to let this man call the police.

He twisted the right throttle and confirmed that the car could indeed be driven. Lin Xian cupped his hands towards the man:

"I will definitely return the car, don't call the police, brother. May you have a safe and happy life."

Having said that.

Buzz—

He twisted the throttle and went into the sky.

He hoped that this brother could be lenient and not call the police, considering that he had a good attitude. Otherwise, it was very likely that those security robots would come to arrest him, delaying today's action.

Lin Xian twisted the throttle to the maximum in the direction the suspended garbage truck flew away!

This flying speedboat directly tilted 45 degrees and flew forward at full speed!

The garbage truck was flying very fast, but the speedboat was faster. Soon, it caught up to the garbage truck.

Just as Lin Xian was considering how to snatch back his trash can...

Beep beep beep beep beep!!

The speedboat's instrument panel suddenly flashed red light and emitted an alarm sound. All the operation interfaces disappeared, replaced by four words—

Theft alarm!

"Crap!"

Lin Xian cursed inwardly. The familiar feeling of weightlessness came. This speedboat was no longer under control and began to decelerate.

At the same time...

Several red positioning lasers shot from all directions, illuminating Lin Xian's body and locking him in place!

A familiar feeling.

He didn't know if that brother had called the police or if the speedboat had automatically triggered the theft alarm. In short, the speedboat had now been locked. And to make matters worse... Several bat-like robots with flashing red lights were flying towards him from behind!

Lin Xian shook the handlebars weakly. The falling speedboat brushed past the flying suspended garbage truck.

He could even see the trash can robot VV, which was like a corpse inside, through the ventilation gaps.

Was this how tonight would end...?

Was he going to be laser-blasted in the head again?

He was so close!

What was he missing?

Suddenly.

Lin Xian remembered the scene that had happened next to the giant supercomputer in the museum.

He thought of the VV engraved on the trash can robot's head nameplate!

It didn't seem to be asking him for the password only after it arrived at the museum;

It seemed to have changed modes after hearing him shout "VV";

VV... might not be its model;

VV!

Was its name!

Lin Xian took a deep breath and shouted at the suspended garbage truck that was passing by and leaving:

"VV!!"

Boom—

The garbage truck in front of him suddenly flipped over and rotated!

While rotating, all the compartments opened, and all the recycled garbage inside was thrown into the air like vomiting!

And at this moment.

Lin Xian felt that the flying speedboat that had just lost power and control instantly had power! The red light on the display screen disappeared, and all control was returned!

He suddenly pulled up the front of the car and rushed towards the sky, looking up and saw the trash can robot, VV, falling from the sky.

It was alive!

Its eyes were shining with bright green light! It was looking at this place!

With superb driving skills and a sense of the vehicle, even on a flying speedboat! Lin Xian twisted the handlebars and flew towards the falling VV—

Clang!

With a dive, he accurately caught the falling VV and wedged it into the leg space in front of the speedboat.

"You should have said so earlier."

Lin Xian was really annoyed and amused.

It turned out that this trash can robot really reacted to his shout of "VV"!

Click!

The familiar coolness was felt at his ankle again.

Lin Xian didn't even need to look down to know that this guy had definitely locked his ankle with iron clamps again.

Swish swish swish—

Several thin red lasers shot over. Lin Xian couldn't figure out what kind of weapon this was, but he had already prepared for it and avoided the main road, driving into the intersecting skyscrapers of the jungle to avoid the lasers.

"Please enter the password!"

In the corner of his eye, the trash can robot, propped up by his legs, stared directly at him with its eerie green eyes, questioning his soul.

"Let's find a place to hide first!"

Lin Xian shouted and swerved around a few more turns.

Looking through the rearview mirror... he saw that more and more unidentified mechanical objects were chasing him.

Not only in the sky.

Running mechanical police dogs also began to appear on the ground, and fully armed robots were also at low altitude.

Did he trigger an even more serious alarm?

Unfortunately, VV was just a door-opening robot. It could unlock any door lock, car lock, or electric lock, but it didn't have any combat ability.

However, Lin Xian already had a goal.

First, rush into Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall!

The museum was a no-fly zone, so these bat-shaped laser drones shouldn't be able to fly in, right?

He had a door-opening robot and could directly ride the flying motorcycle in. As long as he closed the exhibition hall door in time, he could block the swarming chasing army outside.

"Please enter the password!" The dark green eyes continued to stare at Lin Xian.

"No time now!"

Lin Xian's mental storm was about to explode. He had to find a way to drive the flying speedboat to avoid the lasers and design a route to rush towards the museum area. He had no information to pay attention to this trash can robot.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

More and more intelligent robots joined the chase. Their speed was much faster than Lin Xian's speedboat motorcycle.

If it weren't for Lin Xian's superb driving skills, they would have caught up with him long ago.

The museum's rear hall was ahead. Lin Xian glanced back...

God.

Did he violate the laws of heaven?

There were countless flying robots in the sky, running police robots at low altitude, mechanical police dogs, and other mechanical devices that he couldn't understand.

It seemed that the security force of Rhine Sky City was still quite powerful.

The reason why no one dared to commit crimes all along was probably not because of high quality, but because the consequences of violating the law were too serious!

It was just stealing a scooter, did they need to send out so many regular troops?

Lin Xian could only take a gamble!

He bet that the no-fly zone at the museum... could block these hundreds of security robots!

However, unfortunately, things went against his wishes.

The moment he flew into the museum wall and entered the no-fly zone, Lin Xian's motorcycle instantly lost power! It stalled directly!

It seemed that the no-fly zone was absolute. Even the door-opening robot couldn't save it.

But fortunately, the gliding inertia was enough for Lin Xian to rush to the door of Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall. He had already seen the steel electronic door of the exhibition hall at the highest point of the museum.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The sound behind him was like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Pieces and pieces of flying robots, like locusts, also lost power and fell into the museum courtyard.

But they still flashed terrifying red lights! They flew close to the ground and quickly flew towards Lin Xian.

Roaring mechanical police dogs jumped over the wall and rushed in, and all kinds of security robots also climbed over the wall and entered.

Lin Xian found...

After he broke into the no-fly zone, it seemed that he had committed another crime and unknowingly activated countless security robots.

Now, the courtyard of the museum below was filled with all kinds of robots flashing red lights.

There were thousands of them!

Like locusts crossing the border! Like zombies breaking out!

They were chasing after the gradually gliding and falling motorcycle!

At this time.

The inertia of the flying motorcycle was exhausted, and it finally flew to the front of the electronic door of Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall.

Thump!

Lin Xian jumped out of the car while holding the trash can robot and rolled in front of the steel electronic door.

"VV! Open the door!"

However...

This time, the steel electronic door did not open.

Lin Xian was dumbfounded.

All along the way, this trash can robot could open all the electronic doors of Sky City.

Why couldn't this last electronic door, the electronic door of Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall that should have been opened for him, be opened?

"Please enter the password!"

The calm and anxious mechanical electronic sound, the trash can robot stared at Lin Xian as always.

Below the steps...

Thousands of robots and mechanical dogs rushed up with their teeth and claws bared.

The landed aircraft piled up in the courtyard, flashing rapidly shaking red lights aimed at him, as if something was about to be launched! Ready to go!

Hundreds of positioning laser beams hit Lin Xian's face.

The strong red light made him unable to see anything.

His vision was blood red!

Blood red...

Lin Xian, who was about to be blinded, seemed to see that red Ferrari Laferrari flash before his eyes...

On the Huangpu River.

Dark clouds covered the sky.

Under the dark, moonless night.

The blood-red Ferrari Laferrari opened its two arrogant scissor doors, turned on its headlights, and parked next to the railing by the river, illuminating the tall woman leaning against the railing.

Her earrings reflected flickering prisms of light in the headlights.

"Are you willing... to be my secretary?"

She smiled and turned her head, tucking the stray hair behind her ear:

"Remember the password for the office password door. It's hard to believe, but this password was randomly set by me and has no meaning."

"Any meaningful password will always be guessed and will always be cracked. But this kind of meaningless password is much safer in comparison."

"Never tell a second person, Lin Xian. This password... only you and I know!"

Lin Xian opened his eyes, facing hundreds of blood-red lasers!

"32375246!!"

He shouted these eight meaningless numbers with all his strength!

Boom boom boom boom boom!!

Boom boom boom boom boom!!

Boom boom boom boom boom!!

Like blooming lotuses!

Hundreds of lasers, concentrated at their launch limit, instantly turned around! They burst out towards the sky in all directions!

The red lasers illuminated the entire museum courtyard! Like a violent red hedgehog!

However, not a single one shot towards the door of the Zhao Yingjun exhibition hall.

Thump!

A muffled sound.

The exhibition hall door behind Lin Xian opened in response and slowly moved to both sides.

He raised his head.

He found...

The terrifying red light on the bodies of thousands of robots of all kinds in front of him had all disappeared, turning into a dim green.

Then.

All the mechanical police dogs lay prostrate on the ground;

All the humanoid robots knelt on one knee;

The aircraft hovering at low altitude also obediently landed on the ground...

Everything was so quiet, silent.

Lin Xian stood up, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Under his feet.

The trash can robot VV, which had always been silly and idiotic, let out a childlike laugh.

Its tracks turned backward twice.

Its two clamp arms propped on the ground, its body and the thousands of security robots in the courtyard leaned forward, lowered their heads, and stuck to the ground, facing the man standing high at the highest point of the museum:

"Welcome home..."

"King of Rhine!"
