Chapter 841 The Disappearing Uncle

The explanation given by "To crush one's eyebrows and bend one's waist to harm the powerful" is not self-contradictory, but what he said is really hard to believe easily.

"Do you really have an uncle?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"Really!" the other party replied eagerly.

"Then why does your uncle not care? Since he developed the first batch of robots for the Vigilante Force and he is still working at Mengdu Scientific Research Institute, he should be able to report it to the authorities and scrap these robots, right?" Li Luo found the other party to explain. The loophole in the problem forced him to ask.

Although twenty years have passed and things have changed, the officials will not ignore this problem. If those unstable robots are left there, there is no telling what major accidents will happen.

Those are not ordinary robots, but vigilance troops equipped with a variety of prohibited technologies and responsible for the security of the entire Dream City. Once something happens, the consequences will be extremely serious.

As a researcher at a scientific research institute, I will definitely not sit idly by.

After raising his own question, Li Luo waited for a long time, but did not receive a reply that said, "It's a shame for the powerful." Li Luo even felt that the other party had been exposed by him and couldn't think of a suitable reason, so he didn't continue to answer. .

But after a while, the other party sent a message that shocked Li Luo:

"My uncle is missing."

Just a few words made Li Luo stunned.

Mo Ling, who had been looking at the electronic screen, was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would reply with such a sentence after holding back for a long time.

However, what neither of them expected was that what the other said next was even more unexpected:

"Not long after the first batch of robots were put into use, all members of the Mengdu Scientific Research Institute and the entire team responsible for developing robots, without exception, disappeared, including my uncle."

Missing?

Seeing the message on the electronic screen, Li Luo was shocked at first, and then became suspicious.

She directly switched to the home page of Monternet, clicked "Search", and began to search for the disappearance incident mentioned by "destroying the eyebrows and bending the waist of the powerful".

Unexpectedly, they actually found it.

"The case of the disappearance of the scientific research institute."

This case seemed to have caused a sensation at the time.

…

One day, Mengdu's guard received a report from residents near the scientific research institute. They said that there were screams and fighting sounds coming from a building of the scientific research institute. Something might have happened inside, so the guard was asked to go and see. look.

At that time, although the first batch of robots had already been put into use, they were still used as auxiliary tools to assist the guard in their work, and did not form the later guard force.

Therefore, after receiving the report, the guard immediately rushed to the scientific research institute.

The door of the scientific research institute is closed. Because it is a scientific research institution directly under the official government, the guards do not have the authority to directly open the door of the scientific research institute. They can only contact people in the scientific research institute through Montnets and various channels, but they find that they cannot contact them.

Until another member of the research team received the notice from the guard and hurried to the scientific research institute.

"Why do you want to go in?"

Another member of the team, who still didn't know what was going on, asked curiously.

"We received a report from nearby residents..." The guard patiently explained the whole story.

"Why don't you ask the security guard to open the door for you?"

"We can't contact anyone inside. We can't contact anyone inside."

The guards were also helpless. They tried various methods, but to no avail. If the researcher hadn't arrived, the guards almost wanted to break open the door and rush in.

"There should be only one team in the institute now, the team that develops security robots for you."

The researcher pointed to the robots in the guard team, introduced them, and opened the door for the guard team.

After the door was opened, the guards quickly entered the scientific research institute and carefully inspected the building where the reporter said the sound came from.

However, there was no one in that building, only a table with a banquet that had not yet been started. The table was filled with food and drinks, and there were some simple decorations in the building.

"What is this building used for?" the guard asked the researcher who arrived.

"It's a conference room. We usually discuss things here, and we also come here during normal gatherings." The researcher looked at the table of banquets that had not yet started, and said strangely: "I remember my colleagues in the robotics team told me that they There is a celebration banquet to be held to celebrate the robot being put into use. We all got off work yesterday, but the members of their team stayed, probably just for this celebration banquet..."

"But where have all the people gone?"

The food and drinks at the banquet were untouched, the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the pots, dishes, and chopsticks were placed neatly on the table, as if no one had been at the table.

What's even more strange is that the soup in the pot and the dishes on the plate are still slightly warm, and it doesn't look like they have been there for a long time.

"How long has it been since you got off work?" the guard asked the researcher.

The researcher looked at the time and replied: "It's been ten hours. It's almost time to go to work now."

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Because there is no alternation between day and night in Mengdu, the working hours of different units are different, and the hours of each unit are not fixed.

The guards did not know the specific working hours of the research institute. After getting the answer from the researchers, they searched the database and confirmed this.

"Ten hours? Why are the dishes not cold yet?"

Everyone present had the same question in their minds.

After realizing that something was wrong, the guards immediately ordered to block the scene and test the food at the banquet.

Soon, the test results came out.

"All normal food."

Except that the temperature was always kept "warm", there was nothing wrong with the food.

"Have you confirmed the people who participated in the banquet?" The security captain asked the team members who returned from the investigation.

"It's confirmed. There are 21 people from the research institute's robot team and one person in charge of security, a total of 22 people."

"Why are the security guards also inside?"

"They must have been invited. The working environment of the research institute is relatively closed, so it's normal for the people inside to have good relationships."

"Where are the others?"

"They're all off work. According to the surveillance, when the case was reported, there were only these 22 people in the entire research institute, and they all participated in the banquet."

"Have you found the surveillance inside the conference room?"

"No, because confidential meetings are often held here, so surveillance equipment cannot be installed, but the surveillance outside the building shows that these 22 people all entered the conference room, first the members of the robot team, and finally the security guard."

"Did they all go in? Didn't they come out?"

"No, they...didn't come out."
