Survivorship Bias - Chapter 130
At night, Gabriel’s nightclub is as lively and lively as ever.
As before, Lucy was on duty at the door. Today, she didn’t put on nail polish, but sat by the window watching the nutritious funny live broadcast, laughing backwards and forwards, and glanced at the gap, I saw two familiar tall figures.
She turned off the live broadcast and pushed open the window, “It’s you again, this time also looking for Gabriel?”
An Wujiu nodded.
Lucy is a person who has been in a sensual place all the year round, and immediately saw that An Wujiu’s face was not right, so he quickly got up with a smile and opened the door for him and Shen Ti, after they entered, she Sit down again and call Gabriel in advance.
As expected, their visit this time was not made in advance, but Gabriel didn’t take her too seriously, saying that she was a guest when she came.
Not long after hanging up the phone, the two entered Gabriel’s office, Gabriel got up and smiled at them, “Long time no see.”
He took out a bottle of wine from the whole row of wine cabinets behind him, intending to open it, “My vision is indeed correct, you can see that you are the last person to live.”
“No need to pour, Gabriel.”
Hearing An Wujiu’s words, Gabriel stopped, looked up at him, and noticed something was wrong. He put down the wine bottle, pointed to An Wujiu and Shen Ti on the sofa opposite, and sat on the other side, “What’s the matter? You came to me, what’s the matter?”
An Wujiu long story short, “It’s about my sister, she’s been missing for many years, I’m looking for her, and now there is a girl who seems to be her, according to them, her last registered address is Here, here you are.”
Gabriel frowned upon hearing this.
“Here I…”
Seeing his expression like this, An Wujiu thought, just as he guessed, Gabriel doesn’t know anything.
He repeated to Gabriel what the girl had told him on the phone, and Gabriel was silent for a moment.
“No fault.”
He said heavily, “So, she may be my… **** partner here, right?”
The word **** is like a knife stabbed in An Wujiu’s heart, Shen Ti can feel that this word alone can make An Wujiu think of countless Torture, every kind of punishment seems to be on him.
An Wujiu lowered his eyes, “It should be like this, so I think…”
Before he finished speaking, Gabriel stood up, “Come on, stop talking.” He pursed his lips, ground an expensive pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and pulled one out. , “Go and see first, they should all be in the dormitory now, let’s ask one by one.”
“Thank you.” An Wu Jiao’s voice was hoarse.
Gabriel drank a cigarette, patted An Wujiu on the shoulder, and said nothing, took them out of here and headed to the second basement floor.
Before this, An Wujiu didn’t know, it turns out that there is a group dormitory specially provided for **** couples, the environment here is not very good, but not too bad, the space is not big , but clean and tidy, just very dark very dark, blue-purple light, as if this place is a huge UV disinfection box, no sunlight, no fresh air.
The vast majority of **** couples are women, they will rest here when they are not working, or do something they like to do, but they cannot leave.
Although Gabriel was not the initiator of the **** couple group, he knew very well that he was the beneficiary and the wicked who trampled on their human rights and made money, so he always kept silent.
Instead, it was the so-called “broker” who also came to inspect. He saw Gabriel and the two handsome men beside him. He thought they were also important potential customers, so he was very attentive. Take the initiative to introduce them, these tragic women, tragic commodities.
It is like a service item that can be selected by customers, they must be adaptable enough to make every customer feel “satisfied”, so almost all sexual partners are forced Sexually installed chip plug-ins with brainwashing function, so that they will not resist when serving, and the other party can also choose to implant any personality for them, like a customized doll.
“After our commissioning, they absolutely obeyed 100%, and our previous customers were the most satisfied.”
An Wujiu clenched his hands into fists, for a moment, he wanted to punch the eloquent man in front of him. But he didn’t know that it wasn’t him who devoured these girls.
Not a small group, but a large social system, a system accustomed to sacrificing them.
And his sister is actually one of these victims, just a small one.
Shen Ti rejected the man’s promotion, “You don’t need to say, we want to ask some questions, so I won’t bother you to introduce.”
After he finished speaking, he came to these girls with a dazed peace of mind.
There is probably no more cruel torture in the world than now.
Shen Ti knew, so it was all up to him.
The first girl appeared to be fully conscious, and so was the second, but the answers they gave were no.
They don’t have a brother.
The third even smiled and told them, “My brother sold me here.”
The fourth girl has a serious drug addiction, and it is difficult to even speak, Gabriel told him, “She was transferred from another agent, she didn’t know when she first came, It was only later that I found out that something was wrong. It turned out that the previous agent had deliberately injected them with drugs in order to control them.”
While she was talking, the girl in front of her suddenly jumped down, her two thin hands hugged An Wujiu’s legs, praying that he could give her an “injection”.
An Wu Jiu didn’t know what to say, he felt that another extreme and dark value in his body was being restored.
The world really doesn’t need a savior, because it’s already rotten.
Shen Ti bent down, helped the girl up, and said to Gabriel, “Can’t this situation be sent to the relevant institution?”
“She can’t afford it.” Gabriel said a very cruel reality, “I’m not a philanthropist either, all I can do is feed her and clothe her.”
“I will pay.” An Wujiu said, “I will give it to you, you can help me find one.”
Gabriel sighed, after the last incident, he already knew what kind of person An Wujiu was, so he would definitely not be able to persuade him.
“Okay, I’ll find it for you.”
As they walked towards the next girl, Gabriel held An Wugui.
“Listen to me.” He took off the cigarette he was holding, “I have more than 50 here, and now there are only four. Ask them one by one. Are you sure you can handle it?”
An Wujiu raised his eyes, the blue light made his outline extremely gloomy, “I can.”
Shen Ti grabbed his hand, “No.” He exchanged glances with Gabriel, “He’s right, you go to rest first, I know your business, I’ll come ask.”
“Are you sure I can rest now?” An Wujiu looked at Shen Ti.
“Then you wait for me outside.” Shen Ti was very determined, “You can do it outside the door.”
The confrontation didn’t last long, An Wujiu lowered his eyes, he was always soft-hearted towards Shen Ti.
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you outside the door. Call me for anything.”
“Okay.” Shen Ti hugged him and touched his back, “Don’t worry, trust me?”
An Wujiu nodded in his arms, turned and walked towards the door.
He did not go anywhere, just stood outside the closed door, it was dark, there was only one staircase, the top of the stairs was light, white, and it looked like sunlight. An Wu Jiu leaned against the door and sat on the ground, looking at the beam of light that came in, his whole body was wrapped in a great fear.
At this moment, his sister seemed to overlap with him in a body, and he felt the pain of his sister at that time.
Will she also look at the light on the stairs here, thinking that one day she can escape and see the sun again.
Remorse tortured An Wu Jiao’s nerves, he didn’t know whether his original choice was right or wrong.
The two choices that were placed in front of him were also hell.
At this moment, in front of him, there was still the young crying face of his sister lying on the ventilation duct. She covered her mouth and tried her best not to cry.
An Wujiu was very young at that time, and there was no better way, but to repeat it to her sister over and over again.
[Don’t cry, climb out, keep climbing to a place where no one is there, find a way to get out, find the little house with Police written on it, and ask those uncles in the dark blue uniforms to help you, Don’t just trust anyone…]
Sister always refused to leave alone, calling “Brother” in a low voice.
[Brother will find you soon, okay? ]
When she was working hard to gather the courage to leave, An Wujiu raised his head, at that time he guessed that he should not be able to get out, he was very afraid, afraid that his sister would not survive.
[No matter what happens, you must try to live. ]
[Nannan, wait for me. ]
Shen Nan, my sister’s name.
The surnames of the two brothers and sisters are derived from their fathers and their first names are derived from their mothers.
An Wujiu finally remembered, it seems that the deeper the memory is for him, the deeper it will be buried deliberately.
My father is a man who is not good at making a name for himself. He loves his mother, so no matter how many suitable candidates he has, he thinks that his mother’s name is the best.
Shen Nan is also homophonic to win the male. It is he who believes in the bottom of his heart that his precious daughter will be better than any boy.
God will make you.
An Wujiu realized that they had come out, and stood up, “How is it?”
Seeing the expectation in his eyes, Shen Ti couldn’t bear it.
Gabriel told him, “None of them here.”
An Wujiu subconsciously took a half step back, as if escaping the truth, but the next second, he raised his head again.
Shen Ti knew what he was going to say, “No blame, if the information provided by that girl is correct, then my sister may be the Lilith who was rescued once by you.”
Gabriel nodded repeatedly, “It’s possible, it could be her.” He felt a little fortunate and immediately told An Wujiu, “The money you gave me last time, I gave it to her, But you know, people here are very revengeful, so I sent someone to stare at her for a while.”
“She spent a period of time in the east side of city F, and now she seems to have moved to a slum on the outskirts of the west side. I’ll send you the address.”
He was just sending the address, but Gabriel still flew the aircraft himself and took the two of them to go together.
On the aircraft, An Wu Jiu felt uneasy, he looked at the fading light outside the window, and watched the aircraft drive towards the dark and dilapidated buildings.
On the way, Gabriel asked about the implant behind his ear, “You bought the Citizen Chip?”
An Wujiu said yes, “It’s too inconvenient to not have a chip.”
“Then you also have to look at the details of the other party’s chips. Usually this is a crime.” Gabriel rummaged through the aircraft and didn’t seem to find what he was looking for. So he scolded in a low voice, “I knew I had just scanned it for you at the club, so you can get the number and report it to me, and I’ll send it to someone I know to check it out.”
An Wujiu did as he said, “Thank you.”
“No.” Gabriel looked at the gray night sky ahead and the floating map navigation, hesitated for a moment, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s not your fault.” An Wujiu whispered.
Gabriel had never encountered such a coincidence and such a dull thing, and he felt annoyed for the first time.
“Gabriel.”
Hearing An Wujiu calling his name, Gabriel responded, “It’s almost there, what’s wrong?”
An Wujiu thought for a while, “You… your sister’s surgery, did you do it?”
“Not yet,” Gabriel said. “The doctor put her in for next week.”
“Don’t transplant.” An Wujiu’s tone is almost demanding, “I know you may have waited for this opportunity for a long time, but don’t do it for now.”
“Are you worried about the recent nano-robot contamination incident?” Gabriel said carelessly, “I have inquired, those defective products have been destroyed and disposed of, and they will not be in the transplant operation. used.”
An Wujiu doesn’t know how to explain it to him, after all, he doesn’t have very reliable evidence in his hands, it’s basically speculation, “Trust me once, wait a second, now is not a good transplant Timing is too easy to go wrong.”
Shen Ti also responded, “Yeah, look at those crazy people, if something goes wrong, it’s too late to regret it.”
Gabriel was a little shaken, he sighed, “It’s really been too long.”
What he regrets most is that he failed to kill that beast Maguire himself!
“As far as I know, it is not only the victims who have used nanobots, but also those who have replaced second-hand prosthetics. The source has been difficult to find. At present, the only confirmed The thing is,” An Wujiu thought for a while, but decided to tell him, “These should all be related to Chauvin.”
Gabriel was stunned.
Shen Ti asked him, “Can you guarantee that the hospital that performed the transplant operation for your sister has nothing to do with Chauvin?”
Of course not.
Gabriel himself is a man from Chauvin, and many of the contacts he has come from this business empire. Chauvin’s hospitals represent the most advanced medical technology and the best treatment effects, and he could not choose not to.
“I say this now, you may not be able to digest it for a while, it doesn’t matter, you can consider what I said.”
Gabriel responded and stopped talking.
They landed at 10:32 pm and entered the slum on foot from the mooring. Different from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is full of dead silence and darkness, and even the light pollution, which is criticized by conservatives, is deterred because of poverty.
According to the navigation, Gabriel led them to the downstairs of a densely packed old building. There are many down-to-earth people living in this place, and the windows here are so dense that it is disturbing.
“Let’s go up.”
The elevator here is very difficult to use, the lights inside are flickering and the voltage is unstable. They reached the 13th floor, followed Gabriel out, rounded two corners, and came to a door.
The door had a small eye, but it was blocked, and the window was dark, as if no one was there.
Gabriel knocked on the door several times, but there was no response.
“Aren’t you going to move again?” He was a little distracted and knocked a few more times, but there was still no response.
The three stood at the door for a while, An Wu Jiu was about to ask the people next door, when suddenly he saw a slender figure walking from the depths of the dark corridor, wearing a wide black Hooded jacket, hooded over the head, wearing a mask with only one pair of eyes exposed.
leave.
An Wujiu knew that it was her, he chased after her and grabbed her arm.
Lilith’s eyes were frightened.
At such a close distance, An Wujiu realized that her right eye was a prosthetic eye that had been replaced. Light is unfamiliar and dissimilar.
Shen Ti quickly recalled how she looked when she saw this girl for the first time. At that time, she probably just finished brainwashing, so she was not sober, and I am afraid she did not remember who rescued her at that time. she.
Just looking at the facial features, she is not similar to An Wu Jiu.
“Don’t be afraid.” An Wujiu said to her in a very gentle tone, “Do you remember me? The last time was…”
“Let me go.” Lilith interrupted him, pulled out her hand, took a step back, and retreated into the darkness.
Gabriel quickly explained to him, “Lilith, you always remember me, he was the one who redeemed you last time, didn’t I tell you? Don’t be afraid, we are today I just wanted to ask you some questions, not to bring you back.”
Lilith avoided their gaze, her head half bowed, the knuckles of her hand clutching the bag bulged, the plastic rubbed, making a small rustling sound.
“Then, let’s start asking?” Gabriel looked at An Wujiu and gave him a wink.
An Wujiu’s eyes never left Lilith, he didn’t try to get close, he gave her a safe distance, “Excuse me, do you remember your family?”
He considered his words, for fear of making her sad, “For example… Do you have any siblings? Lilith, is this your real name?”
When he asked these questions, the air was as quiet as a semi-solidified gel, making him breathless.
Lilith was silent for a while, then raised her head and told him, “Lilith is my real name, Lilith Kim, I have no brothers or sisters, I am an only child.”
She looked at An Wu Jiao with a straightforward and empty look. This look was like a thorn, stinging An Wu Jiu’s heart fiercely.
“You remember correctly?” Gabriel approached, trying to make her think again, “You should be sober, think again? Really no brother? That one has been You are the girl who is looking for your brother, right?”
Lilith shook her head and told them with certainty, “No, I don’t have a brother.”
“If there is nothing else, I will go back first.” After Lilith finished speaking, she looked at Gabriel again, “Please, don’t ask anyone to stare at me again.”
Gabriel also seemed to have been stabbed, and was stunned.
“I actually mean…”
But before the words were finished, Lilith left among the three of them and passed An Wujiu silently.
Shen Ti raised his head, looked at her distant back, saw her open the door and returned to her own little house.
Gabriel is very anxious, “What should I do? This is not the case.” He glanced at the innocent, “Why don’t you go back with me first, go to my place to rest for a night, and we will find you tomorrow. Look, think if there is any other way.”
“What do you think?” Shen Ti asked An Wujiu.
An Wujiu was silent for a while and agreed to Gabriel’s proposal.
Shen Ti held his wrist, almost walking with him.
In fact, An Wu Jiao looked fine, but it was because it looked too good and stable that Shen Ti was worried.
Leave this building, and the cold air of the night will wrap around the innocent.
He suddenly felt that something was not right, and his keen premonition made him turn his head and look in a certain direction.
“I’m going to drive the aircraft over.” Gabriel said.
Shen Ti suddenly said, “Although she doesn’t look alike.” He turned his face and said to An Wujiu, “But I feel like she is.”
The fragile and cold eyes are exactly the same.
“Maybe she has a reason she can’t tell…”
Shen Ti had a very strong premonition, a powerful force instructed him, telling him that it was the child who was related to An Wujiu.
“Let’s go up and try again.”
