The Disappearance of Big Sister Rose

The bar, the cocktails, the beautiful bartenders—for a moment, the engineer felt as if he had returned to the Black Rose Gasoline Bar.

Unfortunately, that's not the case.

Seeing the senior engineer's choked expression, "Sister Rose" looked terrified.

"Are you alright, sir?"

"Cough cough, it's nothing, just get me a towel."

After wiping his mouth with a towel, the senior engineer carefully examined the other person. There were obvious signs of modification on the head, and the black pupils were different from those of Sister Rose, who had emerald eyes.

The body shape is also unlike that; the chest is flat and unremarkable, and the buttocks... you can't see the buttocks.

You should know that within the normal range, Rose's figure is absolutely amazing; he measured it himself.

But their faces look so alike.

"What's your name, beautiful lady?"

"Hello, sir. I'm Meimei, the bartender."

"Your cocktail is fantastic. How long have you been here?"

"It's been more than three years."

The senior engineer was also a seasoned chatterbox, and they quickly struck up a casual conversation.

The more he asked, the redder the other person's face became, and the senior engineer grew increasingly puzzled.

It's definitely not Sister Rose.

They couldn't possibly be twins.

Could it be the same model of Rose Sister?

The one I know is the mature, sophisticated type, but this one in front of me is the bartender type?

But the other party isn't a cyborg either.

Foreman Gao was quite deceptive, and the other party quickly relaxed.

"Haha, sir, let me tell you, a few days ago, a really funny customer came in. He insisted on performing a magic trick for me..."

"Have you thought it through?" Anna asked rudely, plopping down next to the senior engineer, her long, white legs adorned with red high heels.

The senior engineer's expression quickly turned cold. "It's very impolite to interrupt someone's conversation."

Anna raised an eyebrow. "Disturbing others? I don't see anyone else."

Meimei's face flushed red with anger, but she dared not refute him. The senior engineer smiled, stood up, and said, "That's right, there's no one else here. I should leave now. Thank you for the wine, it was very good."

Anna watched the other person's departing figure with a gloomy expression.

The senior engineer was wandering aimlessly along the edge of the dance floor, pondering whether he should have an inappropriate relationship with the young star who left him a note, when his keen ears overheard something quite interesting.

"Lord Frasso is angry again, questioning the butler why he was served a table full of vegetarian dishes."

"What did the butler say?"

Before the butler could even speak, Gilbert devoured him whole.

"But didn't His Excellency Frasso just say yesterday that he's going to be a vegetarian for a while?"

"Yes, the personalities of important people are truly unpredictable."

"This is the third butler to be eaten."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet, you got promoted."

The senior engineer suddenly turned his head and saw two waiters whispering to each other near the small door. When they saw the senior engineer looking over, their expressions changed and they quickly slipped into the back door.

A vegetarian diet? His implanted alien bloodline has this side effect?

The senior engineer then heard footsteps, turned around, and saw Meimei, who looked exactly like Sister Rose, jogging over.

"Is there something you need?" the senior engineer asked gently.

Meimei blushed slightly and handed over a box. "This is a gift from the last customer. I wanted to give it to you."

"Really? Thank you then."

The senior engineer accepted the gift box, chatted with the "youthful version of Sister Rose" for a couple of minutes, and then slowly left.

In a corner by the main entrance, the senior engineer opened the gift box; the gift was a Rubik's Cube.

What makes this Rubik's Cube different from a regular one is that its pattern is constantly changing; it only remains unchanged when rows and columns are of the same color.

This undoubtedly increases the difficulty.

With a perception ten times greater than that of an ordinary person, after a series of dazzling maneuvers, all the faces of the Rubik's Cube were put together.

A sentence surfaced.

Tall boy...

The senior engineer's expression changed, and he quickly closed his prosthetic eye.

Help!

Another line of text appeared.

Go to this place...

The ugly writing on the Rubik's Cube didn't belong to anyone else; it was Little Finger's handwriting.

Almost at the same moment the senior engineer closed his eyes, the prosthetic eye began to wriggle. Soon, the eyeball and a bunch of optic nerves popped out of the eye socket, with a lump of flesh at the other end of the nerves.

The piece of meat grew tiny feet and stuck to the wall, assuming a posture of gazing at the starry sky. Meanwhile, the senior engineer turned and walked away, and as he walked, a new eyeball 'grew' from his dark eye socket.

[You have been implanted with Michael's Eye of Truth (Second-Tier Bloodline), Nervous System Modification Rate (Biological) +3%, Perception +10]

[Your bloodline has been enhanced to a certain extent]

[Your vision is enhanced]

[You have gained the talent 'Eye of Truth']

[You have acquired the skill 'Virtual Transformation']

[You have gained the skill 'Mental Barrier']

[Your awareness has increased by 10, reaching 150 points, fulfilling the requirements for piloting a large mech.]

[Your consciousness has reached 173 points]

The field of vision was noticeably different, wider and farther. Especially when the senior engineer concentrated, all the buildings in front of him turned into mist and dissipated, leaving only the part that the senior engineer was staring at, which appeared exceptionally clear.

This is—X-ray vision!?

Well, X-ray vision isn't the most important thing.

Most importantly, there was no rejection after this implantation.

Interesting.

The senior engineer turned his gaze away from a certain rounded area. He knew that a very lively party was about to begin after the evening party, but unfortunately, he would have to miss it.

The most massive system on the Sky Carrier is not its weapon system, nor its inspection system, but its waste disposal system.

Thousands of people indulge in extravagance and debauchery, generating an exceptionally large amount of waste.

Meanwhile, at a point on the tail of the Sky Carrier, the senior engineer flipped open the ground and "pulled" a corpse out of the garbage duct. It was deathly heavy and had a peculiar stench.

It is the little finger.

Despite the stench, the senior engineer sprouted numerous red nerve bundles from his palms, which burrowed into the other person's eyes and ears, and he quickly discovered the cause.

The other person's brain was deliberately made to appear dead, entering a "vegetative state".

The senior engineer turned the other person over, skillfully opened the metal back of the other person's head, and found several short-circuited parts.

As the screws were tightened, data began to spill out of the engineer's brain. First, neurons lit up, then bioelectricity, invisible to the naked eye, connected the entire body with the current, and the "dead" little finger woke up with a "whoosh".

"I... I... Holy crap, it really is you!" As his pupils focused, Little Finger saw the senior engineer with a look of disgust on his face.

Thanks to the fact that this is a famous "tourist attraction," people who come here are all of high status, and there aren't many surveillance cameras. The senior engineer and Little Finger made it back to their room smoothly.

As soon as we entered the room, Little Finger darted into the shower and wouldn't come out.

"Holy crap, I've been hiding in the sewers for almost half a month, I almost suffocated. If you don't come soon, I'll just die in the garbage dump."

The senior engineer didn't speak, but mentally manipulated the prosthetic eye, making it move slowly near the stairs, posing as if it were taking a stroll and admiring the moon.

By the time Littlefinger came out of the shower, all the shampoo and shower gel were gone.

"Is there anything to eat?"

The senior engineer glanced at the refrigerator, opened it with his little finger, and found all sorts of precious steaks, pastries, dishes, and drinks.

Little Finger burst into tears on the spot.

"Heaven, paradise—"

An hour later, the senior engineer stopped the other person from eating and drinking excessively, worried that if this continued, the other person would eat themselves to death.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"Sigh!!!" Littlefinger sighed deeply, "It's a long story. To put it simply, it was a failed assassination attempt."

"Assassination operation, who to assassinate?"

"Whoever holds the highest rank will be assassinated."

"Lieutenant General Frasso," the senior engineer's gaze sharpened, "You've failed. Where's Sister Rose?"

"It can't be called a complete failure," Littlefinger hesitated for a moment, "At least the last message Rose gave me was that the assassination plan had encountered a change of plans, not that the plan had failed."

"And what's the story behind that gift?"

"I figured that you were the only one in the entire desert who could help us, so I found an opportunity to secretly drug that bartender and perform a temporary neurosurgery on her. Once she encounters you, she will enter 'trigger mode'."

"By the way, did you come here after receiving my message? How did you get up here?" While the senior engineer wasn't paying attention, Little Finger stuffed another piece of steak into his mouth.

"Message? I haven't received any message from you. I came up here because of the awarding of medals."

Little Finger opened his mouth wide, and the steak fell out of his mouth.

"Oh no, this assassination attempt has really gone wrong!"

The senior engineer rubbed his temples and said, "Let's put everything else aside for now. I'm asking you, do you know where Sister Rose is right now?"

"I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't have come looking for you."

"There's another question, why does that bartender look so much like Sister Rose?"

"Does she look like Sister Rose?" Little Finger blinked. "No, not at all."

Without further ado, the senior engineer stared intently at Little Finger with his right eye, activated 'Virtual Transformation', and Little Finger's vision blurred for a moment before he seemed to appear in the banquet hall.

"What is this, a VR projection?"

Virtual illusion (biological modification): The Mikael people have lived on gaseous planets for many years. In order to survive, their mental system has evolved to be exceptionally powerful. They can not only 'copy' everything they have ever seen, but also reverse illusions and attack others.

Littlefinger walked to the bar, where Meimei, whose face was almost identical to Black Rose's, smiled and asked, "What would you like to drink, sir?"

"Holy crap, she didn't look like this before!!" Littlefinger exclaimed in astonishment.

The senior engineer withdrew the 'illusion,' calmly looked at the other party, and said, "Now can you tell me what happened?"

Littlefinger hesitated for a moment, then said, "Did you know that Sister Rose is an android?"

"Know."

"You know?! Okay," Littlefinger muttered to himself, then looked up and said, "But I have to tell you, Rose isn't entirely an android either."

"What's the meaning?"

"To be precise, Sister Rose is a descendant of a cyborg who was transformed into a human."

"A cyborg's offspring? Cyborgs can have offspring?" The senior engineer was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Her mother's reproductive system is so realistic?"
