Super Couple

"Dad!"

The black python breathed a sigh of relief and gently held its daughter in its arms. She was a tiny little bundle, like a Barbie doll, but the cracks in her private parts were faintly visible.

This is not a wound, but rather the traces of a bio-engineered human being pieced together.

If it were a high-end android currently on the market, the stitching marks could be eliminated, but clearly, this is not a high-end android.

His wife, judging from the headband-like accessory on her head, is clearly a neuro-editor.

Worker, female programmer, low-level android.

This created a false yet real family.

Without turning his head, his wife said, "I'm hacking into the city's household registration department's website to erase your, my, and our daughter's information; the surveillance cameras outside use this information to arrest people."

Black Python was taken aback. "Wife, this won't do! We'll become unregistered residents, and all our insurance payments will be for nothing!"

The programmer's wife couldn't help but roll her eyes. "It's world war time, and you're still worried about social security?"

"Social security is a great thing. It gives you a 50% discount on medicine. Prices are so high these days. Besides, we still have a mortgage to pay," Black Python grumbled.

In most families, the man is the breadwinner and the woman stays at home, but in their family it's the other way around. The big, burly man with the black python-like appearance is actually a stay-at-home dad.

"But wife, war? What war? Who's fighting whom?"

"Corporate wars, those monster giants fighting each other, make the world even more disgusting."

At this point, the programmer's wife's words carried a hint of disgust.

Although he lost his memory, the habits from his previous personality still remained, and his wife also seemed to have a past.

"Let's run quickly! Let's go wherever there's no fighting. I'll go pack my things!"

"Daddy, I want candy!" the daughter cried out in her childish voice.

While busy packing his luggage, Black Python pulled out a large lollipop and shoved it into his daughter's hand.

"Don't give your daughter candy. Don't you know that the new polyester material in her body can cause lactose intolerance?" The female programmer angrily snatched the lollipop away.

"It's a mild symptom, eating a little less won't hurt—" Seeing his tigress's expression about to explode, the black python shrank its neck and lowered its tone by eighteen degrees.

"Go? Where do we go? The whole world is at war!" The female programmer paused, then said irritably, "Most importantly, that drug is only sold in this city. What will we eat if we leave?"

Upon hearing this, the black python paused abruptly, remained silent for a moment, and then said earnestly, "No matter what, I will get you to a safe place!"

"But by then, I will be a different person."

"Yes, I will still stay with you."

"Fool, it's not me anymore, yet you're still with me. Do you want to cheat on me?"

Despite saying that, the female programmer's tone softened as she walked over and gently touched the other person's rough hair roots.

She loved this man very much, but only this man, not another personality.

She didn't care at all about the truth or the falsehood.

"You two are so loving and affectionate, it's truly enviable. So I have a suggestion for you both, would you like to hear it?"

The black python suddenly turned its head, and starting from its fist, red veins like small snakes throbbed up, then its entire body was covered in red veins, and the red veins evolved again, transforming into black veins, and the whole person instantly transformed into a monster with steel bones, and the air seemed to become viscous as a result.

He instantly stepped in front of the mother and daughter, staring at them with a menacing look.

However, the figure on the sofa didn't seem to notice anything, and instead clicked its tongue in amazement.

"As expected of the former underground king of the free world, Black Dragon, your ability to perform secondary carbon-based fusion is truly powerful."

On this planet, the most chaotic and disorderly place, the most dazzling and decadent, is also the place with the most advanced underground technology, called the Other Shore of Freedom.

It is said to be the closest place to the mother city and the farthest place from heaven.

It is said that every aristocrat, every governor, and every heir to a super conglomerate has a suite there.

The prestige of someone who once became the kingpin of the underworld, Black Python—no, Black Dragon—is self-evident.

"You know me?" the black python asked, puzzled, wondering if it was an acquaintance from another personality.

The senior engineer shook his head and looked at another female programmer, saying, "Poison Scorpion, the 11th most wanted female hacker in the mother city, is extremely jealous of men and once spread the 'electronic impotence virus' on a large scale on the Internet, causing the reproductive systems of millions of male creatures to crash."

Upon hearing this, the black python's face stiffened, its anus tightened, and it quietly moved to the side.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" the female programmer said coldly.

"It's understandable that Black Python doesn't know about his past, but even if you lose your memory, you won't forget your skills. I believe you should have already recovered your online account by now."

The couple, one a level 49 gang leader and the other a level 48 dark hacker, are also top-tier figures in the new clone legion.

The senior engineer was also surprised to see these two here.

In the world storyline he knew, the couple first reached a cooperation agreement with Johnson & Johnson Group, the biotech tycoon of Merkel, with Johnson & Johnson Group providing "personality balancers" in exchange for helping Merkel deal with many shady things.

Later, for some reason, they betrayed Johnson & Johnson Group, killed one of Merkel's clones, officially joined the "New Replicant Legion," and declared hostility towards the mother city.

In the previous life, the player took on many story missions from them, which helped them figure out the background of these two NPCs.

The senior engineer was also surprised to run into these two people here; it was a pleasant surprise.

The female programmer, or rather, the venomous scorpion, paused for a moment, then asked, "What is your purpose?"

"A hacker of your caliber should have figured out the details of corporate warfare. The brain-computer interface project is a global human modification program. Unless you become unregistered, you will have to undergo modification. You are a hacker, you should know the seriousness of this modification."

"Your Dugo Technologies is also a participant in this war, so don't try to portray yourselves as innocent."

Although Scorpion didn't know the senior engineer, he could roughly guess that the other party was a member of Dugo Technologies and must be a senior executive.

"We're much better than them. At least we don't let people's minds wander too much," the senior engineer shrugged, pulled out a helmet and tossed it over. "Once your head is blown open, it won't be so easy to be a hacker again. After all, brain-computer interfaces can only be turned on but not off. But with my virtual reality helmet, the switch is in your own hands."

"So, what do you say, want to join us?"

"If I join you, does your company provide insurance?" Black Python asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Of course, our company provides all kinds of insurance, including domestic violence insurance."

"That's really... inappropriate," the black python said, its tone dropping eight degrees under the scorpion's cold gaze, shrinking back.

Black Python isn't a black dragon; he's just a mechanic who's afraid of his wife.

The senior engineer glanced at the little girl clinging to the black python's leg, who was staring at him curiously, smiled slightly, and then whispered a few words.

With just one sentence, the scorpion's eyes widened suddenly. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out by trying. You won't lose anything anyway."

"Okay, if that's the case, we can work for you."

"Wait, honey, about my daughter's illness... When did she get sick? What illness does she have?"

"It's nothing serious, I'll tell you later."

A moment later, the engineer watched the migrant worker couple packing their luggage, looking like they were moving house, and he wasn't surprised.

In the previous life's storyline, the main reason why this couple turned to the dark side was their daughter.

A android that should have "crashed and died" developed a new consciousness after taking a "personality balancing agent".

There is indeed a bug.

"Um, new boss, um—" While Scorpion was in the restroom, Black Python sneaked up to Engineer Gao's side, his expression a strange mix of lewdness and something else:

"Um, boss, did my wife have a past—"

"Don't worry, your wife is getting married for the first time; she has no ex-husband."

The big man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, touched his head, and felt that the hat that had been vaguely visible was gone.

"But this isn't your first marriage."

"Huh? What do you mean?" The black python was dumbfounded.

"This means that Black Dragon, the former king of the underworld, according to known information, had a total of 13 wives, 26 mistresses, 142 android concubines, and a large number of one-night stands."

The black python swallowed hard, its expression a mixture of longing and disgust. Finally, with a mournful face, it slowly turned around and saw its wife staring at it with a murderous look in the distance.

"Boss, why are you shouting so loudly!"

"I believe that a good marital relationship should not involve hiding the past from each other," the senior engineer said in a serious tone, spouting nonsense.

"Ah... don't hit me... wife... don't kick me... don't kick me there."

"Boss... I need insurance... I want insurance!"
