Chapter 549 479: Montage-Style Rules [Double-length]
"You two."
The Disciplinary Officer, who had been observing from the side, approached with a detached tone,
"May I ask if you're headed to the Apophis Oceanarium?"
"Yes." Qi stepped forward to answer.
"The New Gospel clearly mentions," the Disciplinary Officer said, "that love between opposite-sex Bionics is forbidden..."
"There's no love." Ming stood in front of the girl, blocking the Officer from Qi. "Qi and I are just friends, we're going to the Apophis Oceanarium out of curiosity about marine life and due to a campus extracurricular research group's project."
The Disciplinary Officer was momentarily stunned, and before he could continue speaking, Ming rationally continued:
"If Mr. Disciplinary Officer still has doubts, he can connect to our memory modules and check."
Qi's eyes trembled slightly, she opened her mouth but didn't speak.
If the Disciplinary Officer really checked their memory modules, their violation of the taboo by reading philosophy books would also be exposed, and their fate would only be destruction.
The Disciplinary Officer shook his head: "Judging by your uniforms, you're students of Asimov University, right? I have no intention of browsing your memories. I am willing to trust you, and as for the research project's matters, I will verify with 'Athena' through Asimov University."
"I still remind you, Bionics of opposite sexes should maintain social distance outside of work hours."
Ming no longer tried to use phrases like 'This is necessary for academic discussion' to brush off the other party, just nodded silently, leaving the Disciplinary Officer a way out.
After dismissing the Disciplinary Officer, Qi uneasily came to Ming's side: "Academic project?"
Ming winked at her, the calmness in his eyes brightened: "Don't worry, before leaving the university, I already applied for a project with Athena. If he goes to verify, it would essentially be providing you necessary proof to visit Apophis Oceanarium, and conveniently shutting up your guardians."
Athena, like Hera and Aphrodite, is an artificial intelligence in Skyline City, responsible for different facets of functions, the former pertains mainly to academic fields, the latter determines everyone's social relations, while Hera is the senior-most AI under the Celestial Father, overseeing various fields of AI.
"How come you seem to know I wanted to go to the Apophis Oceanarium?" Qi opened her mouth, the other party always seemed like this, as if he could guess her thoughts, arranging everything in advance before she even spoke of her plans.
"Maybe I know you well?" Ming pondered and said.
"If I didn't say I wanted to go to Apophis Oceanarium, wouldn't you be busy for nothing?" Qi stared into the youth's eyes.
Ming shook his head: "The choice is yours, I just try to prevent any option from being overlooked."
"If you didn't choose to go to Apophis Oceanarium, I still bought tea tickets for Jiulong Street Theater, the recent movie, or newly introduced flavored milk tea and ice cream..."
"Stop, stop." Qi turned her head, "Enough, I know you care."
Ming stood beside the girl, without saying what was on his mind.
He hoped the unexpected would not arrive before tomorrow.
...
"Improper behavior, demerit."
"Using foul language, demerit."
"Disheveled attire, demerit."
"Stabbing someone, this deserves... a deduction." The Disciplinary Officer, before being impaled through the chest by Angelina, desperately wrote this in the New Gospel with a feathered pen.
A dull thud resounded as he fell, the carriage plunged into silence, the blood-soaked silver-haired girl looked back at the chaotic scene, her blood-red pupils emitted a sinister light in the darkness.
Angelina pulled the Lance out from the Disciplinary Officer's chest, the slaughter ignited the fiery genes deep inside her, the scent of blood continuously stimulated her senses. After the endless craving, a strong sense of emptiness and fatigue surged within her.
She brushed the disheveled silver hair from her forehead, bearing heavy dark circles, she looked at Xu Xiaoyou: "All are done for."
Who knew what was up with the blonde girl, suddenly saying she wanted to drop their total ratings to 80 before the next stop. Each station took no more than fifteen minutes to travel, and to reduce the ratings to that extent in such a short time, the only feasible way was to take out the Disciplinary Officers.
If Xu Xiaoyou wanted to go crazy, Angelina would accompany her in madness.
Bai Youyou's attire was much neater, compared to the blood-soaked Angelina, only her face and clothes bore bloodstains. She too had finished her battle on her end, the attempting-to-resist Disciplinary Officers met their deaths instantly, without any suffering.
"What about them?" Bai Youyou asked.
Xu Xiaoyou sheathed the Rose Flower, glancing at the passengers huddled in the carriage, eyes filled with terror and anxiety looked back.
"Don't do anything meaningless." She shook her head.
Xu Xiaoyou moved her body, the previous sluggishness was gone, her thoughts were much clearer.
"The ratings have pretty much decreased."
With three minutes left to reach the third station, Apophis Oceanarium, Jason finally arrived on the scene, grasping a RoboCop which spun like a windmill, and suddenly hurled it towards Xu Xiaoyou.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyou standing still, Angelina knew, this guy had exhausted her movement Skill Card, so she slightly leaned forward, like a silver flash, carrying Xu Xiaoyou, moving away at high speed.
"If we run further we'll be passive, let's face him and hold him off for three more minutes." Xu Xiaoyou said.
Chichu Chun emerged from the darkness, triggering Rampage Unrestrained, in Jason's eyes, she was also a fleeting shadow, her form in the air eerie and uncertain, with a blink, a black metal baton swung down towards him.
Jason roared fiercely, chains shot upwards from the blood river underfoot, forming a pair of solid armor on his body, directly blocking the girl's frontal strike.
