053 Evacuation is a problem

"Hey, answer me! What are you doing!"

Li Yu squatted next to the bodies of the three church attendants and found the walkie-talkie. There were three walkie-talkies, and they all made the same sound at this time, coming from the pastor who led the team before.

The pastor's tone was quite urgent, as if he already had a bad premonition.

Li Yu silently took apart one of the walkie-talkies. The size of this thing was similar to that of an old-era mobile phone, slightly smaller, and the internal structure was much simpler. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about electronic machinery and couldn't see anything.

thing.

Pujia came over, pointed to the disassembled walkie-talkie, and whispered in his ear: "In addition to the communication module, there is also a part that sends positioning signals."

Li Yu also asked quietly: "Is there anything worth bringing back?"

Pujia: "These people are not priests, just attendants. The equipment they use has relatively low technical content, and generally there is no loot worthy of our capture."

At this moment, the voice on the intercom changed its tone. There was no longer any anxiety, but instead it became full of majesty:

"Who dares to attack the sacred attendant? Are the fleas from the Mage Association so anxious to die?"

The pastor on the other end of the intercom seemed to have confirmed the death of these three pastors.

The problem is that these three people had stopped breathing and heartbeating a few minutes ago. This seems to indicate that they have some kind of device on their bodies that can determine the status of life and death, but it may not be monitored all the time, but detected every few minutes.

However, Li Yu did not intend to continue touching the corpse. As for replying to the priest on the other end of the intercom and provoking the enemy, he felt that such a thing was unnecessary. Instead, he might expose information about himself.

He crushed all the walkie-talkies and clapped his hands: "Have they packed it up? Let's go without wasting time."

Pujia nodded: "Let's go back to our old place first."

The cathedral in Mumbai is as high as five or six floors in the old days. Its style is a combination of several monotheistic architectural types from the old days. It has a spire and a dome. It is mainly white in color, with window frames and sides.

The corners are decorated with shining gold, highlighting the grandeur.

In the cathedral, a holy prayer ceremony had just been held. The nobles and top wealthy businessmen of Bombay City, as well as a group of clergy, faced the direction of the floating city, knelt down and recited prayers from the holy scriptures...

Then, after watching a more than 20-minute short play praising the gods through the projection screen, the ceremony came to an end.

The person who presided over the ceremony was Bishop Foster, who was in his early forties and in his prime. As the highest religious leader in Bombay City, his right to speak was second only to the local lord, and in this church, he was even more vocal.

Bishop Foster returned to his magnificent office. As soon as he sat down, the doorbell rang.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a young priest appeared at the door and reported: "Your Majesty, three attendants were attacked and killed. The scene was in a slum and has been cordoned off, but all the people around him ran away and no witnesses could be found.

."

The Lord Bishop dusted off his white robe with gold trim and said indifferently: "Except for the people from the Mage Association, no one has the courage. I will move out the scanners and seal all the city gates."

The young priest stood at the door, hunched his neck and said, "However, last month the God Envoy met with an accident. Our city's combat effectiveness may be somewhat..."

Bishop Foster sneered: "I urgently mobilized a battalion of attendants and came back with twenty machine guns. That devil had better appear in front of me!"

The 'old place' that Pujia refers to is naturally the hotel where the group stayed. From the hotel owner to the clerks who work, these are all members of the action team of the Mage Association. They don't have a main control chip, so they are not

Mage, but after basic education, has a certain understanding of magic equipment and divine equipment, and can play a very good supporting role.

After Li Yu, Pujia and others returned to the hotel, the old man standing behind the counter and acting as the shopkeeper said: "The security at several city gates has been strengthened. They seem to have moved scanners out."

Pujia was slightly startled: "Are you sure?"

The old shopkeeper pointed to his left ear. There was an earphone hanging there, and the cord of the earphone extended into his pocket.

Li Yu guessed: "Were their communications intercepted and eavesdropped by you?"

The old shopkeeper smiled and patted his pocket: "I listen to it every day."

Pujia patted Li Yu's arm and whispered: "It's a bit troublesome now. I have a main control chip on my body, so I won't be able to get through it."

Li Yu: "Because of the scanner?"

Pujia: "Yes, my main control chip is made of 28 nanometers. Its overall size and power consumption are relatively large, so I can't hide it... There is no other way. I'll report it first. By the way, Auntie, Martha, I'll give it to you first.

Get a room and rest, I will take you out soon."

Li Yu didn't know how many nanometers the chip in his body was, but since it was given by the 'immortal Ella', it must be stronger than this, right?

Pujia arranged for the mother and daughter who were traveling with her and the former saintly aunt, and asked them to go to their rooms. Then, she entered Li Yu's house.

Of course, Hilaria was also there.

As soon as she came in and closed the door, Pujia lamented: "Oops! Saving Martha was completely out of the mission and caused such a thing for no reason. The rating given to me by the college and the association this time... I don't even dare to think about it.

Already."

Li Yu: "Do you regret saving people?"

Pujia immediately said resolutely: "I don't regret it, I think it's time to save her. And after saving Martha this time, my aunt and I also talked to each other again. You know, I had a good relationship with my aunt when I was very young.

It was very good, but suddenly one day she disappeared. As I grew up, I learned what a saint meant from my family... Later, my aunt was kicked out by the priests, and I only met her once by chance, and we both knew each other.

He didn't say anything and just walked away."

Li Yu: "But you are still paying attention to her and you know where to find her."

Pujia nodded slightly, closed her mouth, and sighed through her nose.

Hilaria had been listening. When the two fell into silence for a while, the girl asked softly: "Are there no tunnels we dug in Mumbai?"

Hearing this, Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. Shouldn't he be said to be a girl from the Yazd family? This line of thinking is almost the same.

Pujia said helplessly: "We dug it, but it was already used when assassinating the angel. After that, the city of Mumbai stepped up inspections, and the spare tunnels were all gone."

Li Yu: "So besides taking the city gate, is there any other way to get out?"

"If there is a way, what do I have to worry about now..." Pujia patted her thigh, "Forget it, I'll send a report first and check the instructions above."

Hearing this, Li Yu suddenly became curious: "Do you mean the leaders of the association?"

Pujia shook his head: "The association has no leader. But there is a central artificial intelligence, which is responsible for summarizing the reports of each mage, including issuing tasks. There are seven such artificial intelligences, located in each mage city, and there is an information network.

, but the permissions are independent.”

Li Yu imagined it for a moment and realized the ingenuity of this arrangement.

Replacing leaders with artificial intelligence avoids the corruption of seeking power for personal gain and is much more efficient than human administration. Moreover, the seven artificial intelligences are separated, which means that even if one is destroyed or out of control, the rest can still work as usual.



Of course, he didn't know the specific effect. However, since the Mage Association was able to develop despite being at a disadvantage, and it also fought back and forth with the Kingdom of God, it meant that this system should be operating quite well.
