The Illusionary Union has collapsed, and everyone is very happy. Yao Xue, leveraging Gao Gongâs influence, began to subdue the other remaining families in the Sub-human Continent. Lady Red Dream seized the opportunity to sweep through the underground black market, and even the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division trio became interested in the "Continent Plate Impact Device," eagerly conducting research.
The only exception was Little Angel Xiao Yu, who did not seem happy but rather a bit sad.
As a good boss who cares for his minions, Gao Gong naturally needed to show some concern for the other partyâafter all, it doesnât cost anything.
"Aunt Qinn is gone, Little Jie is missing, leaving only Little Hua and me," Xiao Yu sat at the door, hugging her knees with a look of dejection, even the few strands of hair on top of her head drooped.
Little Hua, the bionic daughter of Mr. Hu, looked at her hesitantly, then extended her bionic arm to awkwardly pat Xiao Yu on the head.
Itâs said that natural klutzes can overcome scheming individuals, and among everyone, Little Hua liked this girl the most.
Gao Gong chuckled, picking her up with one hand.
"Letâs go!"
"Boss, I donât want to fight right now."
"Who said Iâm taking you to fight? Iâm taking you to meet someone."
"Who?"
"Anyone you want to meet."
...
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Hongâs Corporation building in the Business District, littered with fallen Peacekeepers, Don, Naga, and Bai Zheng walked through the labs, occasionally attacked by some bizarre mutant creatures, which the three level 40 elites effortlessly eliminated.
"Itâs fine if the old man doesnât come, but how could Jungle Wolf not dare to? Without him, we have to manually hack into the corporate network, what a hassle!"
Don stood on Nagaâs shoulder, holding a pocket-sized electromagnetic sniper rifle, occasionally firing to take out these creatures.
Naga, the Mechanical Mage, was even more like casting a spell; many defensive facilities were manipulated by her before they even activated.
Her ability was peculiar; she wasnât a hacker, yet she could make machines operate autonomously.
As for Alien Bai, he transformed into a man in his thirties, his face adorned with the shape of nine âbarrelâ electronic eyes, each rotating eerily.
His appearance was exactly the true form of the hacker known as "Jungle Wolf."
At this moment, this member of the Transformed Race turned into the form of "Jungle Wolf," frantically hacking into the enterprise system.
"If we donât take advantage of the Corporate Willâs severe blow to dig out the good stuff Hong Bing hid, should we wait for the Hong Family to take over the enterprise and then steal it?" Don effortlessly sniped a defense robot, grumbling.
"According to Jungle Wolf, there is a disquieting data presence in Nightless City now, so letâs hurry." Naga said casually while manipulating mechanical guards.
"Unsettling? Whatâs unsettling? Arenât all the Mechanics dead? Could there still be a new Mechanical Main Brain? Hahahahahahaâ"
Don made a self-deprecating joke and laughed to himself.
The next moment, the lights exploded with a âpopâ, casting the hallway into darkness.
"Your cold joke froze the power system," Alien Bai made a cold joke as well.
However, in the next moment, Nagaâs expression suddenly changed, "Somethingâs wrong!"
"Whatâs wrong? Did Hong Bing come back to life? Does this Biological Transformer also have a Virtual Personality?"
Baiâs expression also changed; on the virtual level, network nodes were being sealed one after another, and the entire Hongâs Corporation network was like an isolated island being submerged by tides, its area shrinking bit by bit.
Although he wasnât a professional hacker, he understood that this situation meant some terrible power had intervened.
As for Mechanical Mage Naga, her face turned pale as she looked at the sealed walls. On the other side of those walls, red lights lit up one by one, and countless Mechanical Eyeliners appeared opposite the walls, dense and boundless.
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and a figure appeared on the rooftop, with Gale rolling in, exuding an imposing presence like mountains and towers.
A playful voice emanated from all the Mechanical Eyeliners, with sound waves rolling.
"What gave you the illusion that Nightless City has no Mechanical Main Brain?"
"Damn! Such intense killing intent!!"
The pocket-sized sniper rifle in Donâs hand suddenly transformed into over two meters long, his eye twitching, only feeling the murderous intent surging from all directions.
In his memory, the most dangerous assassination missions he had participated in were merely like this.
Each time was nearly close to death.
This time, the feeling was even more severe.
"Protect me!"
Mechanical Mage Naga calmly sat cross-legged and closed her eyes, the mechanical plugins on her body surface spinning in a very special manner.
Naga, the Mechanical Mage, was like an ancient mage, yet also a Cyber Eraâs Taoist. No one knew how she operated, but undoubtedly, every time she could create miracles at perilous moments.
These miracles lay in her unique talent.
Sinking, sinking, sinking further.
Traversing time
Traversing space
Traversing the barrier between creation and creator
Then, she saw a gigantic mechanical construct.
It was an operational Mechanical Hub.
âDoes someone actually control the data main brain of Nightless City?â
A flash of shock appeared in Nagaâs eyes.
But she still appeared within the mechanical pipeline and infiltrated it in an indescribable manner.
âLittle girl, what are you looking for?â
A voice with a smile resounded.
Then, she saw a colossal entity on the data level.
Beside this immense entity, a white light figure radiated an equally immeasurable powerful presence.
"Oh? What a talented little one."
