That’s a bit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passersby could occasionally be seen standing stupefied on the roadside, their perception seemingly severely weakened, only showing a slight reaction when nearly brushing shoulders with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the luckier ones, upon seeing people, had a mixture of blood and tears suddenly streaming out of their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Lille was also unclear whether the fluid coming out from their eye sockets was because they wanted to cry or because their stiff limbs moved slightly, and the tear glands were squeezed by the other prosthetics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was eerie but not dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unknown how many could still be saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dealing with the Slaughterhouse, suddenly the pressure was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Lille really felt it was too easy, like being in a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the notorious Brain Demon Gang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, it was just a matter of finding a way to sneak in and spending some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, in actuality, having over a hundred Scavengers and fourteen fully armed Full Body Cyborgs, such a force was already quite formidable; if let loose carelessly, they could attract the attention of the Terrorist Mobile Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also proved that the Brain Demon Gang had actually started to amass some strength—the Slaughterhouse could only be seen as the controlled muscle-headed youths of the Brain Demon Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having cannon fodder, high-end combat power, exclusive technology, and equipment, becoming a force was merely a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In reality, most Skill Chips won’t have this issue, after all, the general public is naturally fearful of being controlled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Octopus Arm replaced its tip with a small sonar head, continually exploring the wall surface, searching for a possible hidden door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V remained vigilant of the surroundings, following close to Lille and watching Little Octopus, posing a question, \"But you don’t even see full-body Prosthetics on the market, let alone Skill Chips that are compatible with full-body Prosthetics, right? It seems like those chips aren’t even meant for human use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These chips and full-body Prosthetics are their in-house developments; in terms of data structure...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of potent electronic noise emanated from the Octopus Arm: \"They’re completely AI training products!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AI’s training by-products are black boxes to humans, but recognizable to AI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most Skill Chips are derived from native human movement, reactions, and after adjustments by programmers and prosthetic engineers, they become products that can drive prosthetics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This packaging process is also essentially creating a form of simplified AI, although the original datasets are definitely collected from human bodily behaviors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the chips used in the Slaughterhouse are not, according to Little Octopus’s judgment, these chips are semi-finished products trained using a much larger Skill Chip database—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still-in-training Ninja Type Skill Chips paired with powerful full-body Prosthetics could be mass-produced to create excellent black ops teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack poked the Octopus Arm with his finger: \"Didn’t think this thing was AI, pretty interesting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Octopus swiftly retracted its arm, with a click, dismounted the front half of the gauntlet and swapped it for a new one for Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... is it annoyed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille shrugged: \"Just a little joke, frequent replacement of consumables is no issue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V fiddled with a Single Molecule Blade disassembled by Lille: \"Single Molecule Blades, Full Body Cyborgs, and such high-end chips, it seems the Brain Demon Gang really has talent.
