Chapter 18: The Hierarchical City
Jock is mentally tense, and once he senses any police intention to kill him, he will fight to the death without hesitation.
But that is the most difficult situation, and the probability of success is extremely low.
After Kate was pushed away by him, a female police officer immediately stepped forward to protect Kate.
All the other policemen surrounded him with their guns raised, and more than a dozen pistols were aimed at him at close range.
Jock was temporarily relieved. The police still followed the rules and did not shoot.
The police captain also came over at this time. He took out a strange baton from behind and looked at Jock condescendingly:
"You're under arrest!"
Before he finished speaking, the baton struck at Jock at an unimaginable speed. Jock felt his scalp go numb, and then he couldn't move and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the police captain groped around on Jock's body and got Pine and Joseph's 21 kryptons.
Looking at the two tarnished soul containers, the police captain frowned. He looked at Jock and asked:
"You performed a real death on them?!"
"How could I pay so much attention in the melee? I didn't do it on purpose."
In Jock's conjecture, causing real death must be a serious crime. It is better to defend this kind of thing. There is no point in resisting.
"Not on purpose? Then why did you dig out their 21 kryptons?" The police captain put them into his pocket and stared at Jock with a pair of sharp eyes.
"Of course they don't want to retaliate against me after they are resurrected! But after digging it out, I found out that these two guys' 21 kryptons have been damaged. As for why they still carry them with them, I don't think I need to explain more."
The police captain laughed and said, "That's a little clever."
"Heh... I just didn't expect... hehehe..." A meaningful smile appeared on Jock's face, and the two of them smiled at each other, knowing each other well.
"Justice will never be absent. You underestimate the power of our police."
"Take away!" the police captain ordered and walked into the house with a gun.
The deputy captain and other police officers also entered the room one after another, leaving only two police officers. They picked up Jock one on the left and the other on the right, and walked in the opposite direction.
Jiao Ke breathed a sigh of relief, his life was saved for the time being.
He was glad that he hid the dark yellow pages first, otherwise, based on what Kate told him and Jock's previous knowledge of reading Joseph's memories, the situation would be even worse than now.
The identity of a hermit is much more serious than the crime of a murderer!
Jock looked back and saw a female police officer squatting on the ground, treating Kate's injuries on her face.
He silently apologized again in his heart.
"Go!" The policeman on the left pushed Jock hard and yelled fiercely.
Jiao Ke was half-pushed and half-dragged forward by two policemen with an expressionless face.
After walking about three hundred meters, Jock saw five police cars with white background and black stripes parked in the open space in front of them.
The wheels of the police car are a little strange. The bearing in the middle is a big black hole.
As soon as they approached, the police car made a standard metallic sound: "Recognized, welcome back!" Immediately afterwards, all the left doors of the car where the three people approached opened, and the two policemen stuffed Jock into the back seat.
As soon as he entered, the car door closed immediately, and an independent space separated by a light curtain instantly formed around Jock.
He carefully tentatively touched the light curtain with his clothes and found that it was very strong.
There is also a halo on the car window glass, which is double insurance.
It was impossible to escape from the car. Jock adjusted his posture and sat in the car, his eyes were dull, as if he was in a daze, and he didn't know what was thinking in his mind at the moment.
Two police officers stood outside, and one of them clicked on the wristband on his hand. This wristband was similar to the wristbands worn by Pell and Kate, except that it had obvious patterns representing the police.
The right eye of the policeman who clicked on the wristband flashed blue light, just like a running computer screen.
Then, he said: "Report to the captain! We have escorted the prisoner to the police car."
"..."
"Yes!" The policeman clicked the wristband again, and the blue light in his right eye disappeared instantly.
He looked at his companions and repeated the order: "The captain asked us to take the prisoner back first."
"Just right! I can take a break." With that said, the policeman walked to the passenger seat, and the car door opened automatically.
Just like that, the two policemen sat in the front, Jock sat in the back, and the police car started.
Although the car has wheels, it is not driving on the ground at the moment. Its four wheels are seen rotating at the same time, forming a lying posture. With a "boom", a blue stream of light is sprayed out from the center of all the wheels.
Flames and police cars shot into the sky, like rockets being launched.
After the police car flew high into the sky, it returned to steady mode. Various data were constantly displayed on the windshield in front of the car, which looked like navigation.
Soon, the police car adjusted its direction and drove quickly and smoothly.
How could Jock give up this opportunity? At this moment, he was looking out of the car window curiously.
The garbage area was getting smaller and smaller under his feet, and Jock even saw the female police officer leading Kate towards the direction where the police car was parked.
The police car soon left the garbage area and entered the elite area.
The tall buildings are still dazzling even in the daytime.
Each of the holographic portraits, which are like giants standing in the sky, are either tempting, domineering, or funny... They are trying hard to arouse people's desire to consume through their actions, language, and temperament.
Compared with the garbage area with poor environment, the elite area is extremely bustling and lively, and flying cars can be seen everywhere like hard-working little honeys.
There were dense crowds of people on the ground, all dressed up brightly.
The floating tunnel hung in mid-air, like the black blood vessels of the city, and trains passed through it from time to time. With Joseph's memory, Jock knew that this thing was called a "city shuttle".
"This is the real future world." Looking at the surrounding scene, Jock admired in his heart.
He looked towards the garbage area. It was a dark place, but further away in the garbage area, there was a gathering of light, which was impossible to distinguish.
Although the garbage area and the lawless area are two different areas, there is no actual separation between them. This is just a verbal division by people.
However, there is a clear boundary between the elite area and the slums. The tall and thick walls surrounding the entire elite area and the flying robots patrolling nearby are the best evidence.
The police car went deeper and deeper into the core of the elite area, and gradually...a super-tall spiral building that shot straight into the sky and penetrated into the clouds caught Jock's eyes.
'This is the Sky Tower!'
Through Joseph's memory, Jock has learned about it.
