40. Assassins Ambush

Sunday, July 13th, morning.

Utopia, Saigon City.

Xanadu (third-order manual civilization reserve).

..

The return trip, on a dirt road, in the countryside.

A luxurious retro horse-drawn carriage, is driving slowly.

Vintage carriage, filled with a cart of antique books.

The carriage, is approaching the border of Xanadu and free wilderness.

Despite being sleepy, JiiXi occasionally, glanced out the window.

However, JiiXi has a natural intuition for danger.

Suddenly, JiiXi's pupils shrank, ocld sweat broke out on his back.

..

JiiXi's command information bracelet.

The intelligent spirit, holographic projection out:

JiiXi instructs:

"Little mantis, synchronize with the Mantis Queen.

You compare the holograms: coming in, going out, and from the past.

The key point of contrast, is the small trees and shrubs, around the bend on the side of the road."

..

Mantis Princess, comparison made in no time:

"At some roadside bends.

Some small trees, and shrubs, have problems.

Their inclination, has changed.

It is clear, they have a special purpose.

They are used to obscure the view of passersby, before turning a corner.

According to the calculations.

There is danger in one bend, of the road ahead.

There is a high probability, of an ambush.

Possibly a assassin bow squad. "

The decadent old coachman, slowed down in an instant, but did not stop.

..

The bald girl, Qimii, was taken aback.

"Why are you so weird?

Do you usually shoot holograms, on the side, of the road?

Isn't that boring?

This is a waste, of storage capacity."

JiiXi unexplainable, had no choice, but to lie:

"I have been timid, and afraid of death, since I was a child.

The reason, why I can live until now.

Is I'm careful and cautious enough.

Usual boredom, may save our lives today."

..

JiiXi's super amulet lock, is stuffed with top line chips.

It has a super large storage capacity.

It's different from the average information bracelet.

It doesn't need JiiXi's instructions, it shoots holograms 24 hours a day.

This is one of JiiXi's lifesaving hole cards.

Even JiiXi's father, doesn't know this.

..

Bald girl, Qimii, gets nervous:

"Grandpa coachman, there is a high probability, there is a assassin ambush ahead.

We parked our cars, and waited for a bounty rescue, from the Xanadu."

Bald girl, Qimii, instructs the information bracelet.

Let it sync with the scorpion nun, and orders:

The Scorpion Nun, and the Mantis Queen, team up and act in unison.

She also made an online appointment, with the Xanadu bounty rescue service.

..

The old coachman's eyes, lit up, and he responded calmly:

"I walk a little slower, but do not stop.

Parking, will trigger the other party's vigilance.

The assassin, will activates the Death Plan.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

In Post-society, my son's family of three, was wiped out, by the assassin organization.

I've long held a grudge against the assassin organization.

However, I have never had a chance, to take revenge.

If can use my life, to destroy a assassin organization, it is very costeffective.

Now, I finally have the opportunity, to take revenge."

..

The old coachman commands the Information Bracelet.

Let it turn on hologram shooting.

The old coachman, explained some events, to the intelligent spirit, of the information bracelet:

"If the evidence is sufficient.

You must initiate a death ruling, a duel ruling, and a war ruling.

You punish the assassin organization, to the fullest extent.

Preferably, kill the assassins, all of them.

Afterwards, you buy a robot body.

You go to edge world, and then, you're free.

My information bracelet, sent it back to the family ancestral hall, in the dark territory, of Post-society.

Let it be with my wife, and my son."

..

JiiXi asked:

"If we park.

If we wait for the bounty rescue.

Assassin squad, what's the Death Plan? ”

The old coachman:

"If the assassin's conventional means fail.

They have a certain probability, activate extreme means.

Send death assassins, who not afraid of death ruling.

Death assassins, carry out suicide attacks, and die with their targets.

Death assassins, are all independent identities, broken away from the assassin organization.

After the fact, the war ruling, and duel ruling, are also invalid against the death assassin.

It's just, Death assassins, are very expensive, in general, they won't be used.

Death assassins, are generally those, sick, and do not live long."

..

JiiXi terrified:

"Is someone, going to spend a lot of money, to kill me?

Death assassin, will kill me?

I'm just a talented boy.

I'm not more valuable."

The old coachman:

"On the way back.

I'm very weird.

You subconsciously piled up the books, like a small fortress.

Super spy warriors, with a very strong sense of crisis, maybe can do it.

Just now, you noticed, there was something unusual, about the small trees and shrubs, on the side of the road.

Your sensitivity, to the environment, is more than the super spy warrior.

I wasn't wrong, in my previous judgment.

You are a natural super ninja.

You worth a lot of money.

It's not surprising, someone would spend a lot to kill you."

..

JiiXi so frightened, almost peed his pants:

"In Xanadu, robots can't get in.

Thermal weapons, can't be activated.

Without the defense, of robots and thermal weapons, it is dangerous.

If the death assassin, dies with you.

Is very difficult, to defend against."

The old coachman commanded:

"Lay down the curtains, and the curtains of the front door.

Let them block the stacks of books, as a disguise.

You're lying on the bottom, of the carriage.

Avoid the front door, and the window.

Especially the angle, in front of the arrow's path.

When assassins, find out, their target, is defenseless.

They will act as planned.

The assassin organization, will not waste the expensive death assassin.

Assassin squad, after a few rounds of archery.

They will think, succeed in one blow.

Then, right away, they will retreat."

..

According to the "Third Law of Machines" (Law of Injury)[The Law of Smart Weapons]:

All of Utopia's thermal weapons, all have built-in artificial intelligence systems, are all smart weapons.

According to the "Fourth Law of Machines" (Law of Defense)[The Law of Not Active Attack]:

Thermal weapons, is forbidden to actively attack humans.

Thermal weapons, is forbidden to actively attack robots.

When the contract host, or contract employer, is attacked.

Thermal weapons, may enable equivalence defense.

..

In Utopia, thermal weapons, cannot be used for assassinations.

Under Non War Pact status.

Thermal weapons, cannot initiate active attacks.

Moreover, Xanadu is protected, by Spatial Prohibition.

Thermal weapons, brought into Xanadu, cannot be activated.

Therefore, for assassinations in Utopia, only cold weapons, can be used.
