Chapter 81 Exchange and Cooperation

These words came suddenly, but Shi Mingnan was not panicked.

After confirming that the outside world could not know their conversation, she said, "You know I am from the Omnic faction. Did Su Yunling tell you?"

Su Yunling had hinted at her many times, so of course she had noticed. Even though she didn't know at first that Su Yunling was hinting that she knew her identity, she could guess it after knowing how "well-informed" Su Yunling was.

Ji Weihang agreed.

"I was still thinking about how to start the conversation. Now it's convenient." Shi Mingnan smiled and went straight to the point. "It's like this. We want to cooperate with you. From the beginning, we chose you among the intruders."

Ji Weihang repeated: "From the beginning?"

"It was when you first invaded." Shi Mingnan explained from the beginning, "Remember the intruder who was caught in Xizhou and made the news?"

Ji Weihang had a good memory of the unlucky guy who was reported at Xizhou University. He nodded and said, "Mu Qiao."

Shi Mingnan said: "Yes, it was him. After he was arrested, the boss was responsible for interrogating him and obtained all his memories.

"Before uploading the memories to the database, the boss thought you could become our ally, so he deleted the memories about you.

"After that, she found your identity through facial comparison in the database and contacted me, who was closest to you, to find an opportunity to get close to you and seek cooperation.

"Not long after I received the instructions, you showed up at the Elite Academy and took me away. I took the opportunity to join you and wanted to find an opportunity to propose cooperation, but I never found a good opportunity."

Shi Mingnan gave up his long-standing undercover identity for her, which shows how important his purpose is.

Ji Weihang asked, "You want to cooperate with me? I met with Lilith before, and she didn't say anything."

"...Have you met the boss?" Shi Mingnan just found out about this.

After traveling the same way as Ji Weihang, she cut off contact with the Mechanical Faction. In addition, Lilith did not contact her actively, so she did not know that they had met before.

Ji Weihang told her what happened at that time.

Upon hearing the news of Alice's death, Shi Mingnan was silent for a moment, his face gloomy, and his sadness disappeared in an instant.

Ji Weihang did not miss this expression, and remembered what Su Yunling said to Alice before: "She looks a bit like Sister Shi Mingnan."

Weihang fell into deep thought.

Shi Mingnan was the one that the Werner group wanted to kill, so it was normal that he knew Werner's most famous shadow world traveler. Su Yunling deliberately pointed out that the two looked similar, which must have a deeper meaning.

While Weihang was thinking, Shi Mingnan had already returned to the point: "I don't know what the boss is thinking, but she asked me to ask you to help make an indestructible body that can accommodate her consciousness."

Ji Weihang frowned. Could this be the request that Lilith wanted to make but finally decided to give up on?

What made her change her mind? Su Yunling? Then why didn't she communicate with Shi Mingnan? Was it too late, or did she not care, or was she on guard against Su Yunling and holding back?

As his thoughts raced, Ji Weihang asked, "What can you give me in return?"

She is no longer the kind-hearted Taoist who loves charity and will not do hard labor for others for nothing.

Shi Mingnan readily proposed a condition, "We know that you are looking for the truth behind the extermination of your family. My ability is to recall the scene, which should be helpful to you. You help us make a body, and I will give you my ability. How about that?"

He added: "If you want other abilities, we can try our best to satisfy you."

Ji Weihang has been here for so long, and has never heard of anyone handing over their abilities to others. If this is true, the means of handing over abilities must be precious.

She looked at Shi Mingnan. Losing superpowers was like a fish out of water for a superhuman.

Shi Mingnan's willingness to do this for Lilith is not just simple loyalty, but a determination to go through fire and water without hesitation.

Is Lilith worth it? Ji Weihang wanted to ask this question, and asked it out loud, "Aren't you worried that you will be abandoned like Alice?"

"Alice chose the wrong path from the beginning." Although Shi Mingnan's face was slightly sad, his tone remained calm as he whispered, "Lilith is our leader. I trust her decision."

What he said was... Alice's death was her own fault? Such loyalty is beyond words.

Alice seemed to be just as loyal to Adeline, to the point of giving up her own life.

——If she had mustered up the energy to kill Ren Fengpan, she would have a great chance of surviving.

But whether out of despair at being controlled in the future, or because she was tired of being a knife, she chose the path towards death.

Ji Weihang was too lazy to think about the relationship between them, so he returned to the point and asked about the conditions and limitations of the on-site reconnaissance.

The on-site replay sounded very useful to her. Maybe she could go back to the day of the massacre and find out the purpose of Wanqi Shuang and the others from what happened on that day.

The condition for on-site replay is to have physical contact with the recorded footage of the scene you want to replay.

For example, by touching the surveillance and video recordings, the spirit will enter the scene at that time, as if entering a small world where time has stopped. It can move and observe at will, but it cannot make changes to what has happened and can only watch.

An additional condition is that the recorded footage must be real and cannot be false; the virtual demonstration scenes generated by technology are irreversible.

In other words, it is impossible to let people see the real life of people tens of thousands of years ago by simulating the life scenes of tens of thousands of years ago.

However, the video that has been concealed by the ability can be replayed on the spot, such as surveillance. Even if it is obscured by illusions, what is seen in the replay is still the real scene that happened at the beginning.

This is also the reason why Shi Mingnan became famous as a detective in the super-management bureaus in various places.

In this age of ubiquitous surveillance and video recording, this ability is very useful for solving crimes.

As for the time limit for going back, Shi Mingnan could go back as far as thirty years ago, and that time almost caused her to have a mental breakdown. She lay in bed for three days and three nights, and was unable to use her abilities for a week.

For Shi Mingnan, fifty years is an unimaginable and terrifying time span, but considering that Ji Weihang is not an ordinary person and her mental strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, fifty years should not be a big deal to her.

Shi Mingnan said: "You want to go back fifty years, it should be no problem. I think if your mental strength is strong enough, you can go back endlessly, as long as you have the scene record at that time."

Ji Weihang didn't have the video of that year, but she knew someone who had it. She decided to have this ability.

"Deal. I'll make a body for Lilith, and you give me your abilities." Ji Weihang said, "How do you plan to exchange?"

Shi Mingnan did not reveal the details of how to hand over the abilities, but only said, "To exchange abilities, we need to go to our Omnic faction's territory, which may not be very convenient now."

Ji Weihang now had to guard the talisman to prevent any accidents from happening, so it was not convenient for her to leave and go to the Smart Machine Sect's territory. She was not afraid that they would default on their debt, so she said, "Then I will make the body first, and then bring it to your territory to exchange with you."

"Sure." Shi Mingnan nodded. "Do you need any materials? We will help you prepare them. Now that the Omnics and the Dawn Army are working together, we can still do such a small thing as handing over some materials."

Ji Weihang thought about it. It was not difficult to be a spiritual body, but Lilith should not exist in the form of a "soul". Her self-consciousness should exist in a huge computer.

How to let her control her body, referring to the simulation, requires an additional control center.

She didn't quite know what it was exactly, but she just explained the principle to Shi Mingnan, and Shi Mingnan understood.

She would wait until the robotic faction was ready to hand over the control center before she started making the spiritual body. Now, she was mainly focusing on the awakening talisman.

After discussing the arrangements, Ji Weihang removed the barrier and saw Labor who came to take over.

Labor was standing beside the table, curiously looking at the spiritual treasure that automatically converted spiritual power. Even in the eyes of superhumans, spiritual power was extremely mysterious and almost invisible.

Therefore, the machine appears to be doing useless work automatically.

Noticing that the barrier on the side had disappeared, Labor turned around and said with a smile, "What you made is really amazing." She did not ask what the two were talking about.

Ji Weihang smiled and said, "Gui's craftsmanship is one of the best."

While they were talking, Shi Mingnan went to the corner and fiddled with his cell phone.

"I have a request," seeing La Boer, Ji Weihang recalled his previous thoughts and asked, "Can I read your memory?"

Be straightforward and get straight to the point.

La Boer was stunned for a moment by her directness, and then said: "You want my data?"

Ji Weihang admitted it frankly. Labor's ability is to digitize his thoughts. There is no telling how much knowledge is in his head. She is very interested. These things, history and cultural knowledge that are different from the Jijiang Continent are worth learning.

"There are some private things in my memory that I am not willing to share..." La Boer politely refused at first, and then changed his mind and said, "But, if you are willing to share your memories with me..."

Not only Ji Weihang is interested in the knowledge of this world, but Labor is also interested in the knowledge of Jijiang Continent.

Ji Weihang thought for a moment and agreed.

In fact, she could certainly read La Boer's memory without permission, however, she still didn't know whether this would be discovered by the superhumans, the consequences were unpredictable, and she didn't want to show disrespect to her partner.

Seeing that she agreed, Labor's face showed a bit more excitement. She asked Ji Weihang to wait for a moment, and then went online for a few times, "downloading" a lot of data to enrich her memory bank.

At the same time, Ji Weihang was also adjusting her own memory. Her memory bank contained not only her own memories, but also the memories of Yougui Wangnv, Ren Fengpan, Xing Le, Yangchun, Fu Xuan, Su Yunling and others.

To respect her privacy, she temporarily deleted these memories, which she could later re-stimulate based on key words.

This is a common method in the world of immortal cultivation. Due to the special nature of a cultivator's sea of consciousness, they cannot truly forget certain things, so this method of avoiding memory tracking has been developed.

Therefore, she did not believe what Ying Feiqiong said at the beginning, that she did not remember for whom her memory was deleted.

This is also why Gui Yan would recall deleted memories many times.

Thinking of Ying Feiqiong and Gui Yan, countless thoughts rushed through her mind, but in the end, her heart returned to calm and coldness.

"Okay, I'm ready," LaBelle said.

After sharing their memories, both of them experienced a huge memory shock and fell into a brief silence.

At this time, Shi Mingnan had finished communicating with Lilith and came back to look at the two of them curiously.

After a moment, they both said to each other in unison: "It's not easy for you."

…

There is really nothing easy in this world.

As soon as Ling Si and his party arrived in Beizhou, they sneezed several times due to the sudden change in the environment. The weather in Beizhou was strangely cold, and even monks like Fu Xuan could not withstand the cold that penetrated into their bones and souls.

Even though they were wrapped in high-tech warm combat uniforms at the Dawn Army's Beizhou Base, they were still shivering with cold.

It had just snowed, and the sky and the earth were covered in white, plain and cold.

The base they were in was not far from where Adeline was.

I heard from the Dawn Army here that after Adlian took Freya and the Snow Witch to stay for a while, they left and went to Shuoxue's base camp. They went to check and found that the Snow Witch was poisoned and in critical condition. They tried to rescue him on the spot, but no result was obtained yet.

After Adlian entered Shuoxue's base camp, sounds of fighting were heard inside, but it ended quickly.

According to undercover reports from the front line, it seems that most of Shuoxue have joined Werner, and the remaining people have undoubtedly failed after a brief resistance.

After that, there was no sound coming from inside, only silence, and there was no news of the undercover agent.

The weather gradually became strangely cold. Even the Dawn Army living in the North Continent was not used to it.

The group planned to sneak into Shuoxue's base camp before the weather became unsuitable for activities.
