"The base you found here is far too unreliable." Shi Yin listened to the conversation outside the door and stretched her mechanical arm.
Actually, this robotic arm is quite useful. It has all the nerve sensations, including pain receptors, and is almost exactly the same as a normal arm.
The robotic arm's interface is directly connected to the nerves, making it easy to use. However, the newly attached arm is different from the original arm that has been used for so many years, and Shi Yin has to get used to it every time it is reattached.
However, a mechanical arm is still a mechanical arm. Compared to Shion's own arm, the movements of swinging a sword and dagger with great precision are significantly less refined.
However, in return, this robotic arm has more functions.
For example, Shi Yin just accidentally turned her left middle finger into a gun, and she can't turn it back.
"What is this thing?" Shi Yin's face darkened; she had never seen anything like this before!
"Don't panic, this is a new feature I added for you. You accidentally activated it." Helmod feigned innocence: "You can't use a left-handed sword right now, so of course I need to give you a weapon that matches your right hand. Otherwise, what if your right arm is a whole size thicker than your left arm when your left arm recovers?"
"It's only for a few months, isn't this a completely unnecessary feature?" Shi Yin was speechless.
"Who said that? Firing a warning shot is very intimidating, you know?" Helmud retorted. "If something goes wrong someday, you can just raise your left hand and fire a warning shot. How cool would that be?"
Shi Yin: "...Tsk."
Helmod: "?"
What kind of disgusted expression is that?
"Knock knock knock".
"Bang bang bang!"
"Old Zhang, is there anyone inside this door? Could the person who just went out be the owner of this house?" The noise outside the door grew louder.
"Impossible, my drone clearly showed a girl coming this way," Old Zhang retorted.
girl?
All eyes turned to Freya. There were indeed three women here, but if anyone could be described as a girl, it was Freya.
"I... I did go out and scout around." Freya was a little embarrassed. She was actually quite strong, and she didn't notice anything unusual when she returned from her scout. How did she end up being targeted?
"Don't be surprised, we don't mean to blame you." Shi Yin coughed twice: "The people in this area are all exiled. Those who are willing to be exiled must be somewhat confident in their abilities. They should all be people with superpowers."
“Is that so? I’m just a little surprised.” Ishtar nodded: “Little Freya is quite strong, yet she didn’t detect them. Either they are stronger than Freya, or they have a special ability user who can conceal their presence.”
“The group of people outside the door aren’t very strong.” Helmod glanced at the monitor.
The house had been modified by Helmod; they chose the top floor, which was designed to make it easy to escape, defend, and change positions with ease.
Since they've chosen to play the disappearance card, they should play it thoroughly. What if they accidentally expose their strength and are tracked down to find out they're still alive? Wouldn't their entire plan be ruined?
Therefore, Helmod spent half a night building a tin house on the top floor and then used holographic projection to make it look exactly the same as the outside, perfectly blending it into the building.
Helmod had repeated this kind of small base countless times, and his thinking was naturally incredibly fast. The small house was equipped with all kinds of monitors and surveillance cameras; though small, it had everything he needed.
However, no one noticed when the group of people outside came up from downstairs.
Apart from the designated areas within the Yanlong Kingdom, a large, abandoned area outside was entirely for the exiled people to explore on their own.
Therefore, it is common for unknown small teams to pass by to explore for supplies or to randomly enter any small house as a temporary base to make a living.
There are indeed six or seven households in this building.
“But is it possible that the temperature on our door isn’t from the stove?” Helmod, who was also listening to the conversation outside the door, asked with a strange expression, “Is it possible that the door is electrified?”
How high does it have to be for a door to feel warm to the touch? These people outside must be desperate for supplies.
"Anyway, let's forget about them and enjoy this rare holiday." Ishtar clapped his hands, looking very happy: "Xiaoyin can't do chores, but she can pick out ingredients, so she can direct us to make hot pot."
Shi Yin: "Huh?"
"No, you can't use my skull as a hot pot pot!" Helmod glared and was the first to refuse. "And you can't use my fingers as a barbecue grill either!"
“It’s okay, now we have an extra robotic arm, right?” Ishtar looked at Shi Yin with a grin: “If we can’t have hot pot, then let’s have barbecue.”
Shion: "..."
Freya: "?"
Who is this important person that they go to such lengths in private? And how can she understand using a skull to make a hot pot pot when she's using her fingers to make skewers?
"I think we can have hot pot." Shi Yin silently dismissed the possibility of making skewers with her left hand.
Freya then saw Tokine and Ishtar focus their gazes on Helmod, who visibly stiffened and resisted the two women's stares with silence.
Finally, in silence, and under Freya's shocked gaze, Helmod lifted his wig, removed his hood, and then... lifted his own skull!
Freya: "?"
"What kind of hot pot broth does Xiaoyinyin want?" Ishtar asked with a smile. "Tomato broth or sukiyaki? I brought some sterile eggs."
"Tomato." Shi Yin was wearing a robe and overcoat, and also had a glove on. She clenched her fist and looked exactly the same as usual.
Whether viewed from the front or the back, Shion's shoulders and arms are exactly the same, making it impossible to tell that the left side is actually a mechanical arm.
Thankfully, there was a smaller skull underneath that one; otherwise, Freya would have fainted from fright if she had seen the brain directly.
Helmod disassembled and reassembled his outer skull, making it wider than before, truly resembling a pot. Then, a hand of divine power rose from behind him, producing three pot scrubbers...
Let's start washing!
Soon, the pot, which had been spotless to begin with, was scrubbed until it gleamed.
Freya: "??"
Are the hands of gods and demons used to scrub pots?
Isn't the Hand of Gods and Demons a creation of a noble God? Isn't it used for all kinds of high technology, extracting essential resources, making enemies immune to all poisons, and providing logistical support?
Is this...washing a pot?
