Chapter 187 Wild Dog
Who is the guest from the northwest? He suddenly appeared in front of the Aletta Palace half an hour ago.
No one knew how they crossed the double barrier of the deep sea and the water barrier to reach the Aletta Palace.
The ocean messenger team heading to the northwest is still on the way. They have not successfully contacted any Northwest aliens.
In other words, these guests from the northwest may have learned some news through some channels and came in a special way.
After receiving the news, Sabrina hurried over to greet them, feeling a little uneasy and alert. Then she noticed that the Northwestern guest did not show any discomfort and was chatting at the entrance of the palace.
There were only five people who came, including Bo Qu, who claimed to be a researcher, the auxiliary intelligent robot "X-2" from the X Institute, a man wearing a black suit and carrying a briefcase who called himself a "pianist" but for some reason he kept talking to himself, a boy named "Silas" with blond hair and purple eyes that had a mysterious charm, and a boy who was lying in the floating door in mid-air, dressed like a reporter. When he saw Sabrina rushing over, he raised his camera to take a photo of her, then retreated back into the door and disappeared.
Therefore, there were only four Northwest aliens who followed Sabrina into the palace for a simple tour. Compared with their alarming appearance, their subsequent performance was quite low-key. They did not take the initiative to ask for any information, did not leave the team without permission to wander around in various places, and did not talk to each other and ignore her existence.
It was so quiet that it was a little strange. After a simple observation, Sabrina vaguely guessed that this combination of three aliens and a robot seemed to be a temporary formation, which means that the four of them were not familiar with each other.
But this has nothing to do with Sabrina. She just hopes that there will be no mistakes in the next introduction.
However, a sudden badminton successfully shattered her fantasy.
And what happened afterwards was completely beyond her imagination.
"In Desert Base No. 23, Bai Qu, you were taken prisoner, right? And with that group of mechanical spiders, you still haven't paid the ransom you claimed to pay when you left without permission."
"The materials used to make the X-2 are extremely rare. Even our research institute only has less than ten kilograms of them. And one kilogram can buy about five types of mechanical spider legions. In other words, you still owe us money."
"Speaking of which, that pianist looks familiar. He seems to be the black marketeer and spy who illegally acquired a large number of companies in our ruined city to amass wealth, causing chaos in the market economy, and finally, even invaded the prison and caused large-scale destruction?"
"Please call it fair and peaceful economic cooperation and commercial exchange. The laws and regulations related to the economic market in your ruined city base really have too many loopholes. How can I say that I am breaking the law by using some small tricks that you ignore? By the way, how did the large-scale chaos in the prison come about? Are you really going to pretend that you don't know?"
The northwestern forces headed by Bai Qu took the temporary initiative and launched a verbal attack without hesitation.
The forest and desert forces, led by Wu Gaoyuan and Cui Zhiyong, joined forces again to fight back against the excessive demands made by the northwest forces.
The two parties debated back and forth on the corridor, their words flying like sparks, sometimes sharp and sometimes mysterious, as if it was a war without the smoke of gunpowder but making people tremble with fear.
Mainly, the Northwest Forces have been making small moves over the past few years, sending spies to gather intelligence from time to time, or simply using force to gain some benefits. When the artificial [heart] appeared in the forest a few months ago, even their most powerful chief priest came to seize it personally. Not long ago, before the cooperation relationship in the desert began, a large number of legions had already lurked in various areas of the desert, looking like they were waiting covetously.
Therefore, if we discuss it in detail, the northwest has no upper hand at all.
Bo Qu quickly understood and turned his head to look at the black-haired boy who was standing next to the auxiliary robot X-2 and carefully poking its head. He changed the subject and said:
"So, my dear student, what do you plan to say?"
With a creaking sound and a sizzling sound, after the badminton was taken off, the side of the X-2 robot's head looked even more miserable. The silver-white and black wires were exposed, flashing with electricity and making a sizzling sound that made people's hair stand on end.
"Ah? I'm using my eyes..."
Chu Xiuyan, who was suddenly mentioned, looked up blankly, his index finger still poking at a wire of X-2 that was flickering with sparks. Seeing that both parties were looking at him, he shrank his head and whispered, "This? Can it be repaired?"
Bo Qu pushed his glasses and said, "Unfortunately, no one in our team can repair the machine."
Chu Xiuyan looked at his familiar face that often appeared around his uncle, Kong, and asked in shock: "Don't you know how to repair it?"
Bo Qu continued to push his glasses: "I study biology and chemistry. I know nothing about mechanics."
Chu Xiuyan took a deep breath, turned around and asked the robot, "Yourself? Can you repair it?"
X-2 robot face? Expressionless, said seriously: "Don't worry, it's just? A stiff neck, it will be fine in a couple of days."
Chu Xiuyan held his head and wailed, "It's over! Even my language function is disordered!"
"Hey, have you guys quarreled enough? It's just a machine. We don't have many of these. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
Silas, the blond-haired, purple-eyed boy, pounced on Chu Xiuyan, put his arm around his shoulder in high spirits, and said in a sticky and intimate tone, "Long time no see! I missed you so much! I was originally planning to wait for you in that ghost city, but I was forcibly dragged away. Damn it! Let me tell you, when we were in the Desert Kingdom, I also helped the rebels block the invasion of the Desert God's consciousness. Yes, I took the initiative because I knew that was your companion. Next time if you have any problems, remember to tell me, and I will definitely solve it perfectly~"
The pianist not far away frowned, "Silas, watch your attitude and don't make promises lightly. We are currently in a hostile relationship with the group of people across the street... They are so noisy. Hey, isn't this Yunyan? Long time no see."
Just when he was halfway through his words, the cold and serious pianist's expression changed. His low voice became light and cheerful, and his whole temperament changed rapidly, revealing a nonchalant and careless tone.
Chu Xiuyan tried to shake off Silas who was clinging to him, and looked at the "pianist" in surprise, and said, "Fourth Master? Are you still in the pianist's body?"
The Fourth Master, a member of the Wild Dogs, whose real name is Mo Yinian, is a soul-type mutant.
Two months ago, he was lurking in the ruins city, and was suspected of trying to steal the [core] of the prison. As a result, he was locked up in the prison for a long time and got bored. He suddenly set his sights on the incognito pianist who was kicked out of the prison for economic crimes. Then, he tried to steal his body, but somehow, he became two souls in one body and could not leave without permission. In the end, he said that he was going back to the prison to find his body, and it was most likely that he was going to steal the [core]. He left the team in the subsequent prison riot and disappeared.
After that? I didn’t hear any news from him. I didn’t expect that two months later? He was still in the same body with the pianist.
He couldn't help but ask, "Can't you find your original body?"
The Fourth Master said nonchalantly, "Mingji said he had taken her away, but I suddenly didn't like her, so I just waited for the next body. As a result, two months passed while I waited... Tsk, shut up!"
The pianist regained control of his body, his face instantly darkened, looking particularly gloomy.
Chu Xiuyan looked at the people from the northwest in front of him and suddenly realized that there seemed to be a lot of acquaintances.
Seeing Wu Gaoyuan again? He drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, ready to continue the second round of debate, and quickly raised his hand and said: "How about I pay with my body!"
Xuan Wu was the first to curse: "F-f-f! What are you talking about, you idiot?! You have nothing to do here, shut up and go play by yourself!"
Cui Zhiyong beside him also nodded repeatedly, showing a look of disapproval, "Is that so? Is that so? Children talk too much, don't interrupt."
Chu Xiuyan: “…Ah?”
Wu Gaoyuan also smiled helplessly and explained to Chu Xiuyan: "It's not easy to calculate, how much is a pound of meat or something like that."
Xuan Wu quickly turned around and pointed at Wu Gaoyuan and started cursing him even more harshly.
Wu Gaoyuan raised his hands to cover his ears.
Chu Xiuyan hugged himself in horror? .
There was no expression on Bai Qu's face at all.
The X-2 robot continued to repeat in a serious tone: "Please don't worry, it's just a stiff neck. It will be fine in two days."
Chu Xiuyan comforted it: "It's okay, mentally retarded robots are also cute."
In short, the day passed slowly in the atmosphere of cursing, quarreling and tit-for-tat among the three forces, and soon it was night.
The guest rooms of the northwest faction were located on the north corridor, separated from the guest rooms of the ruined city team on the south by an entire rest area.
Walking in at this time? The corridor was silent, the night was thick, and one of the guest rooms was extremely dark, with the curtains tightly drawn, not letting in a single ray of light.
The X-2 robot was sitting upright on the edge of the bed, its silver-black body seemed to blend into the darkness, and the exposed wires on its head were still flickering with light, making it particularly eye-catching in the dim environment.
The empty eyes, like those of a dead object, stared straight ahead. For an unknown amount of time, there was no sign of movement. The neck turned stiffly, and a voice without any fluctuations rang out, "Detective."
There seemed to be a faint sound of wind, and a silver door less than two meters high suddenly appeared in the air. The boy in reporter's clothes leaned out of the door, tilted his head and looked left and right, and saw no one else, then he exhaled heavily.
"Finally, there are no outsiders. I was so depressed. X-2, Mingji has already set off with the core. Are we going to gather our companions scattered around the world?"
"No, or? It's too early." The X-2 robot didn't say anything, but stood up quietly and walked? Towards? the boy lying in the door frame. In the other's unsuspecting eyes, it suddenly raised its hand, and its sharp fingertips scratched the boy's neck without hesitation, but the next second, there was no? Blood splattering.
All it stabbed was? Air.
Through the wide-open door, one can vaguely see a person inside, half-smiling, with scars all over his face as hideous as a twisted centipede.
"Xu San."
The X-2 robot recognized each other's identity.
The boy also lost his disguised obedience and became a little disappointed. "You have betrayed your original ideals. The doctor has really influenced you... Number Two."
The X-2 robot said nothing? A faint electric current lit up all over its body, and the air seemed to ripple.
The tense atmosphere is about to explode?
But at that moment, the robot and the boy in the space door shifted their gazes and looked warily at the bed in the room.
At this moment, a figure quietly crawled out from under the bed halfway, and after realizing that he was exposed, his whole body froze.
It was Chu Xiuyan who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and attacked at night.
Actually, he originally just wanted to try to fix the broken head of the robot when it was turned off in the middle of the night, but he accidentally heard some important secrets.
At this moment, he raised his head and smiled awkwardly but politely, with dust on his cheeks. He pretended nothing had happened and crawled out from under the bed, saying, "Sorry to bother you, you guys continue."
He pretended to be calm and walked towards the window, but was stopped by the boy inside the door.
"Wait, this has something to do with you, too, Nine."
"I'm sorry, you made a mistake...?"
Under the boy's astonished gaze, Chu Xiuyan stopped talking. He thought hard for a long time before he remembered that he seemed to have an identity as a member of the Wild Dog Organization.
...Ah, because this? This identity setting has such a low presence that he completely forgot about it, so it seems that he just said something outrageous... This? It's embarrassing.
