Chapter 58 The Slum Boy's Desperate Comeback (Part 3)

After returning home and greeting Lisa, Si Yisi went into her dilapidated little room.

His current background as someone from the slums would make many people less wary, which would reduce obstacles to installing surveillance cameras.

Si Yisi has been seizing every opportunity to capture as much useful information as possible since the very beginning.

He has very limited resources now that he is in the slums, and the crude surveillance cameras he installed will probably be discovered in the near future.

Important words such as "Young Master Xi'an" and "Tru" were heard by Si Yisi.

Once inside the room, Si Yisi immediately began watching the recorded footage.

Shian's identity is that of someone of high status and wealth, and the identity of the "True" behind the scenes is also extraordinary, but this does not help him to come up with anything more.

On the other end of the screen, Shian, with his dark purple hair, was boarding a small aircraft with his henchmen.

But as soon as they settled down, a sudden burst of heat and explosion erupted in the video, and Si Yisi could see the screen shaking violently.

"Damn it, who sent these mechs to attack! Is it that idiot Tru's?!"

"Young Master Xi'an, I didn't sense any mental energy fluctuations in the mecha..."

"There are quite a few people who know how to block mental energy, prepare the light cannon—"

The sweltering heat made one feel as if they were right there, ready to pounce on Si Yisi at any moment.

But Si Yisi wasn't focused on the realistic simulation on the monitor or the conversation between Xi'an and his henchman; he saw a mech flash by in the heatwave.

The mecha had a strange design, resembling a snake-shaped metal head with two small protrusions on its forehead, and it seemed to have a self-awareness, constantly emitting a hissing sound.

—Ah Baldy?!

Si Yisi jumped to his feet in shock. He watched as the serpentine mech was struck by a beam of light fired from the aircraft…

While surprised, Si Yisi also realized that this was the best opportunity to destroy the surveillance camera ahead of time.

He remotely controlled the monitor to detach itself from Xi'an. The small, button-like monitor rolled into the heat and soon turned into a pile of ashes.

Si Yi quickly memorized all the information reflected in the scene, including the terrain, the distinctive signs, and the traces left by the explosion.

Si Yisi certainly didn't think that kind of beam cannon could do anything to A Tu, because Si Yisi vaguely saw the symbol of the Kaz Empire on the mecha. The snake-shaped mecha that A Tu was currently possessing was undoubtedly from the Empire's mecha base!

[Warning, Warning, Machine damaged, Machine damaged.]

A-Tu hissed, not in high spirits. Ever since it was hit by the light cannon, it had been repeating the same sentence over and over in its ears.

The crucial issue is that he can no longer control the mecha body!

What a useless piece of junk! A-Tu was very dissatisfied. His own body was more effective than this mecha. The light-level attack couldn't even knock off a single scale of his!

Ah Tu originally wanted to cause a big scene so that Si Yisi would see it, but he didn't expect things to go wrong halfway through.

However, because it bore the insignia of the Kaz Empire, Atu was not destroyed on the spot, but was instead thrown back into the dusty logistics room.

Just then, a figure shrouded in darkness walked up to A-Tu's damaged mech.

"A...slightly damaged Imperial mech?"

The person completely shrouded in black was Chen Han, a subordinate who had received Tru's orders.

He rushed to the mech base immediately after receiving the order, but he did not expect that the Shuling Empire's army would attack at this moment. The imperial soldiers took away all the available mechs to fight.

Just as Chen Han was about to go to Tru to confess his guilt, he discovered the last remaining mech in the logistics room.

Chen Han remained vigilant, inspecting Ah Tu's mech repeatedly to ensure there were no signs of damage other than minor damage before taking the mech out.

Ah Tu felt extremely uncomfortable being touched, yet he couldn't resist. However, while his subordinates were repairing the mecha, Ah Tu discovered that he was gradually regaining control.

He'll probably be able to control the mech in a few hours.

Ah Tu subtly twitched his tail, and this guy actually crawled inside his "belly"! Unacceptable!

Once he's in control of the mecha, the first thing he'll do is throw this guy off! And then he'll do this and that and that, no matter what!

Chen Han felt a chill run down his spine for some reason. He looked around suspiciously, and the dust in the logistics room floated quietly in the air.

Si Yisi then spent the night setting up traps outside her home using the weapons that Xi'an had sold at a low price.

He hadn't slept all night, but he seemed to be in better spirits, with excitement surging through Si Yisi's chest.

He has never experienced what it's like to take down a mech!

Conversely, Lisa fell ill that very night. Her illness came on suddenly, like a landslide, as all the accumulated pain and exhaustion erupted all at once!

In the blink of an eye, Lisa was already bedridden.

Si Yisi stood in front of Lisa's bed, just about to feed her the medicine she had prepared in advance, when a slender hand, so thin it was just skin and bones, grabbed her wrist.

Lisa had a sickly beauty at that moment, her skin the color of snow.

Her grey eyes held a lingering melancholy, as if she knew she was nearing the end of her life. She called out to Si Yisi, "Child, you..."

Q was so focused on getting the medicine to save Lisa that he didn't hear what Lisa had said.

He had a chance to hear Lisa's words, but unfortunately, he died halfway through the attack by the mechs.

So Si Yisi paused for a moment and did not immediately take out the medicine.

Lisa said to Sis, "Child... I've given you a name."

Si Yisi listened quietly to the name she was going to give Q. In reality, most children in the slums didn't have names; many of them died young.

Therefore... many mothers do not give their children names that carry good wishes.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and those living in slums have long since stopped believing in the word "hope."

This eventually became an unwritten rule, which resulted in many children in the slums not having their own names.

“I’m listening, Mother,” Sisley replied.

Lisa slowly said, "Si'an... this is the name I chose for you."

After saying that, she seemed to have used up all her strength and closed her eyes: "Now... throw me out or sell me, that way we can get some star coins to pay off the debt with Dr. Huo."

Si Yisi felt Q... or rather Si An's heart pounding, its rate of heartbeat suddenly accelerating.

“I like it very much, Mother. You will be alright.” Siss uncorked the potion and fed it to Lisa little by little.

This medicine makes people very sleepy for a period of time. Lisa looked up at Si Yisi in surprise, and soon fell asleep under the influence of the medicine.

Si Yisi tucked her in and let Lisa lie quietly in bed to sleep.

Si'an's joy was still surging in Si Yisi's heart, but Si Yisi calmly left the small house and set up a small protective shield in Si'an and Lisa's home.

Late at night.

A flash of red light disappeared into the darkness, and Si Yisi's dark eyes reflected the faint glimmer as he quietly gazed in that direction—

The people who piloted the mechs to kill Si'an have arrived.

The red light reflected in Si Yisi's pupils made it seem as if her eyes were covered with a layer of blood, which was somewhat eerie.

He was excited, excited about this brand new experience.

What would it feel like to fight against a mech piloted by a human? Would it be more interesting than fighting a human?

A beam of light blasted towards the area where Si Yisi and his group lived not far away! The pilot of the mecha seemed completely unconcerned that this powerful energy would also destroy the innocent residents of the slums, after all... they were all lowly people!

The shield lit up, blocking the attack. At the same time, Si Yisi moved like a cat, agile and nimble, as if she were lurking in the dark.

Si Yisi was holding a small dagger in his hand, and that was how he planned to fight the mech!

This approach was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, but Si Yisi did not hesitate at all!

The mecha was right in front of him; it wasn't very noticeable in the darkness, but the red light in its eyes betrayed its presence to Si Yisi.

Chen Han, piloting the mecha, used the night vision function to immediately...

Upon discovering Sis, his first glance confirmed that this was the slum boy Tru had ordered him to deal with, but his second glance inevitably carried a hint of disbelief!

What did he see? The slum boy charged straight toward the mecha, holding only a small dagger in his hand!

Is this insane? Do they want to die even faster than they deserve?! Chen Han had never encountered such a simple mission before, where the target didn't even think about escaping but actually came to meet him?

Was he hoping to slice through the mech with his blunt dagger? That's utterly foolish and ignorant!

Chen Han had even already figured out how to curry favor with Tru... This was truly a task with absolutely no difficulty. Chen Han piloted the mecha, locking onto the charging target, so relaxed that he didn't even realize the mecha's momentary stagnation.

Ah Tu naturally saw Si Yisi through his subordinate's eyes as well. He recognized Si Yisi instantly by following the fluctuations of the contract and almost wanted to rush to greet his master immediately—

Tell on me!

Si Yisi's current night vision is poor, so he relies entirely on his keen intuition to determine the location of the mecha. It's impossible for him to have spotted Ah Tu immediately.

Chen Han aimed his mech at Si Yisi and fired a small, close-range cannonball! At such close range, the slum boy had no chance of dodging!

Once he is hit, the toxins in the shell will quickly seep into Si Yisi's internal organs, turning him into a pool of blood in a short time!

Out of the last bit of caution, Chen Han still kept his eyes fixed on Si Yisi's direction, but he had actually relaxed his guard!

Chen Han watched as the shells were launched, but Si Yisi, who was standing in front of him, suddenly disappeared!

"What!" Chen Han couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He hurriedly went to find Si Yisi, only to discover that in the blink of an eye, Si Yisi was only a very close distance away from the mecha!

What did he come from?!

Despite his surprise, Chen Han still felt that things were still under his control. He replaced the shells with bullets, and several bullets were fired at once. This time, he didn't believe that Si Yisi could dodge this attack that had no blind spots!

Even if he manages to dodge one bullet, what then? Several more bullets will follow, soon riddling him with holes!

Ke Siyi really dodged it!

The bullets only grazed his skin, leaving several marks, but did not cause any other serious damage!

Chen Han's eyes narrowed as he stared at the scene in disbelief. In that instant, he sensed the immense spiritual power emanating from the slum boy standing opposite him!

Those bullets weren't simply dodged... but were forcibly deflected under the manipulation of an unprecedentedly powerful mental force!

What kind of mental energy fluctuation was that? Chen Han only knew that when he mobilized his mental energy, which was at level B, his brain suddenly throbbed with pain. The mental energy he sensed was like a tidal wave bursting its banks!

Compared to the boy's spiritual power, his own was on the ground and the boy's was in the sky!

Si Yisi's condition was also amazing. He had entered a very mysterious state, and he could feel his brain working tirelessly like a motor!

He had originally expected to get a little injured... but now it seems...?

Si Yisi smiled; he seemed to have inadvertently activated the use of this mental power!

Si Yisi's body slashed through the incoming bullets like a long sword, and then he rushed towards the snake-shaped mech piloted by Chen Han without hesitation!

This mecha looks familiar?

A thought flashed through Si Yisi's mind, but it was quickly suppressed.

Ah Tu wanted to cry; his owner was really trying to tear him apart!

Chen Han was startled and almost stood up from the cockpit! Then he realized he didn't have time to be surprised anymore, because the mech's vision showed a flash of silver light heading straight for him!

That was the dagger Si Yisi was holding!
