"I just wanted to thank you for reminding me."
At the banquet, he clearly sensed that Xia Shuang was not very keen on cooperating with him, but she kept discussing things with him.
Out of politeness and anticipation, he did not refuse.
Looking back now, is it possible that the other party was stalling for time?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Tan, who had disappeared from the banquet for a long time, might come here and take away his treasure.
As for the "feelings" between Qin Tan and Fan Zhi.
Oh.
If he still doesn't have doubts at this point, he's a fool.
He was outmaneuvered.
Moreover, no evidence could be found.
The other party's actions were very covert; they didn't enter through the normal passages at all. Of the entire underground building, only these two floors showed signs of damage.
It's hard for him not to wonder if there are other people involved playing a supporting role.
"Then let me go right now."
Xia Yao had no idea what Tianchi was thinking, and she pulled on her own arm, trying to break free from his restraints.
Unfortunately, the rope only tightened further.
Her bag was taken away, and the puppets were destroyed.
Attending a banquet isn't a battle, so she didn't prepare too many dolls.
The puppeteer's abilities are essentially useless.
"I'm sorry, you still have other uses, so I can't let you go for the time being. But don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Tianchi walked to Xia Yao's side, his fingers stroking her face, his eyes softening considerably.
When he softened his gaze, his beautiful blue eyes resembled a vast and deep ocean, drawing people in irresistibly.
You like me, right?
A deep, melodious voice echoed in Xia Yao's ears.
Despite the awkward situation, Xia Yao's cheeks flushed, and she turned her head away, gritting her teeth and refusing to answer.
"Could you tell me what your team has been doing at Base Eight during this time?"
"I promise you, as long as you tell me everything, I can give you everything you want, including the Angel System."
Tianchi patiently guided him.
He observed the changes in Xia Yao's expression, and sure enough, when he mentioned the Angel System, Xia Yao's eyes trembled.
"real?"
Xia Yao was moved and asked in return.
At this moment, the infatuation she once held in her gaze as she looked at Tianchi Lake was gone.
Tianchi is handsome, with a beauty that transcends gender; it's quite possible for someone to fall in love with him at first sight.
But who is Xia Yao?
One of the candidates to succeed the Xia family, an elite among elites.
She didn't come here to pick up men; she had the same mission as Fan Zhi.
Her arrogant and unsociable behavior along the way was merely to lower people's guard and make her plans easier.
Moreover, even if she likes a man, she is more likely to resort to forceful means to win him over than to compromise.
The reason they acted so obsessed with Tianchi was simply because they hoped to get closer to it.
If she could make the other person fall in love with her, wouldn't she be able to get whatever she wanted?
However, the facts also prove that Tianchi's character is not easily seduced by beauty.
Xia Yao, having been exposed, stopped acting.
Their eyes met, so close they could feel each other's warm breath on their faces.
"You're even less human than me."
Xia Yao burst into laughter after saying that for no apparent reason.
His sarcastic smile was much more pleasing to the eye than his previous infatuated expression.
"I can tell you, but can you guarantee you'll keep your promise?"
"Tianchi, you and I are the same. You can lie to others, but don't lie to yourself."
She shares some similarities with Fan Zhi in terms of ideas.
She is a member of the Federation, and her roots are in the Sun God.
No matter how much they fight with Xia Shuang, that's a matter for the Xia family. Here, they are one.
She didn't know what Xia Shuang had done, which was the result of her deliberately avoiding involvement in the other party's plan.
But, she was made to betray Xia Shuang.
Let's forget about it then.
She scoffed.
"Oh!"
When Tianchi was rejected, his gaze turned cold in an instant, like that of an emotionless robot, sending chills down one's spine.
"It's alright. The whole city is under lockdown now, and none of you can leave. I'll figure it out eventually."
"Take her away and keep a close watch on her. No one is allowed to visit her in prison."
Tianchi issues commands.
This time, Xia Yao did not resist, but calmly observed her situation and thought of a solution.
However, while Xia Yao was being taken away, Tianchi received a notification.
Two minutes before he issued the order to close the city, someone went out.
It was Qin Tan, heading towards the Machinery Valley.
Tianchi looked at the glass pillar without the angel, his gaze eerie.
At one point, he felt a jolt of electricity from the machine behind his neck. He brushed his long hair aside and touched the back of his neck.
Look closely, there's a protrusion there.
Even though the surface skin has healed, the gruesome wounds from that time are still visible.
This is chip number one.
His ability is to manipulate electricity; even if the chip leaves Number One's body, it can continue to function within his own body.
He used this to sense the condition of the angels.
And now, the chip tells itself that the angel has awakened.
A complete angel has awakened.
His gaze shifted to the wall, as if he could see the situation in the Mechanical Valley through it.
A sharp pain came from the back of my neck.
The electrical current in his body told him that the chip had failed.
Once the angel is truly revived, she can easily undo the connection between the chip and herself.
She is the most perfect creation born from her own hands.
Unfortunately, it was out of control.
"It's all your fault!"
He dug his fingers into the flesh and pulled out the chip, then threw it on the ground.
Crimson blood flowed down his fingers and back, but he seemed oblivious to the pain, his face contorted as he roared.
"Father, do you hate me that much?"
If it weren't for his father's strange underlying code back then, he wouldn't have put the angel into a deep sleep just to keep her by his side.
He raised his foot and stomped on the mangled remains of the substitute on the ground.
"Someone, go and find all the people of the Federation. Tell them I have something to ask them."
"If anyone resists, arrest them on the spot, regardless of whether they live or die!"
Tianchi's order was issued, and although some people found it difficult to understand, they still complied.
This night, which should have been a night of celebration, ended in chaos and turmoil.
Unaware that the members of the Dawn Squad were about to be hunted down, Qin Tan was in the Mechanical Valley watching the angels awaken.
Throughout the entire Mechanical Valley, all the robots were activated, standing like soldiers before the angel, and then docking with her.
This sci-fi scene, however, is eerie and terrifying in the darkness of night.
Whenever a robot docks with an angel, it loses all power and becomes real scrap metal.
Here, all the robots you see are storage containers for the underlying code of angels.
Even if the cleanup continues here, as long as the machinery storing the underlying code is not completely destroyed, the angels will always have the possibility of revival.
This was a backup plan that the angel left for himself.
These are her countless clones.
