A27 and A11

When Adam opened his eyes, a familiar mechanical rabbit appeared in front of him.

It has no outer skin, and the bronze steel frame is exposed, and the densely packed flashing parts inside can be seen. The right hind leg is a little lame. Seeing that the owner has woken up, the mechanical rabbit rubs the other's palm affectionately.

Cold, hard, familiar.

Adam couldn't help but reach out and touch its head. The touch was just like what he remembered. He could hardly hide the surprise in his tone.

"It's incredible, how did you do that?"

"I said, I come from a magical place. If you are interested, you can come there as a guest. I think the lord will welcome you very much."

The woman stretched her back, and Adam noticed that she had a pocket watch wrapped around her waist. There was no shortage of such things in the mechanical city, but his eyes still fell on it involuntarily. The surface was engraved with vein-like patterns, and Adam even had the illusion that he could hear the sound of parts.

What kind of skilled craftsman could have made such a pocket watch? Before he could think about it, the pocket watch disappeared into the shadows again.

"By the way, the Mechanical City will send someone there soon. You can take that airship to the south. I'll let them know. It's up to you whether you want to come or not."

"I..."

"Don't decide now, just focus on the work at hand, kid."

The mechanic stood up. She put her right hand in her pocket and waved her left hand lazily with her back to Adam. Her back, wrapped in a black coat, was out of place in the crowd, but it was also like a painting in heavy ink and color, leaving a dashing back in the eyes of the other party. Adam's heart was pounding, and he glimpsed a new world from the other party's words.

Is she telling the truth? Is there a place in the world more advanced than the Mechanical City? Just like when he made this rabbit under the guidance of his grandfather, the sense of novelty surged in his heart again, opening a new door for Adam. Through this door, he saw a ray of daylight coming towards him.

New Town...

The young man hugged the rabbit tightly in his arms, with a barely perceptible yearning in his eyes.

the other side.

The mechanic left the tavern and headed straight for the bronze wall. Now that the current affairs were dealt with, the investigation could be put on the agenda.

Guard robots performed their duties day and night, surrounding the outer side of the city wall. The mechanic took out the ID card and opened the way to the inner city after confirmation.

The inner city was brightly lit at night, just like daytime. The researchers' work and rest schedules were chaotic, but there were still many people. They didn't care much about each other, and were immersed in their own thoughts. No one noticed the mechanic's entry, and the latter got into the car like A11 and started the automatic guidance system.

a27, inner city.

According to the address provided by A11, she quickly found the other party's residence.

The silver and bronze color scheme is very much in the style of a mechanical city. The building is rectangular in shape and has no windows. Two mechanical guards stand at the door. After detecting a strange signal, they turn to face the newcomer.

“Ding ding ding…”

All the machines flashed red light, then quickly went out. The mechanic didn't even need to hide, as all the machines automatically recognized that he didn't exist.

The woman was like a ghost in the night, the mechanical door lock opened silently, welcoming the intruder in. Various surveillance machines turned their cameras, and they didn't even encounter any people during the invasion.

There were no lights on in the house, and the environment could only be identified by the light from a few instruments. A27's home was simply decorated, and facing the door was a huge painting that took up half of the wall. There were no patterns on it, but dense formulas. Mason felt that it looked familiar, and after a moment of careful recollection, he remembered that he had also seen these formulas in the meeting room of the Central Tower.

These formulas, from elementary to advanced, fit the development trajectory of the Mechanical City and are considered representative objects. In the past, it could be understood as every household pasting the five-three formula on the wall. This gives us a glimpse into the style of the Mechanical City.

There are stairs on both sides of the painting, leading directly to the second floor. The second floor leads to the bedroom and study, which are unusually clean and lack traces of human habitation.

"Where did A27 go?"

The mechanic walked around a few times to make sure that there was really no one in the room. There must be something here, but where else could it be?

The woman closed her eyes and sensed for a moment before returning to the first floor. The machine guided her to the mechanism. As the buttons turned, the murals on the first floor opened automatically, and there was a door behind. The dark stairs spiraled down, and in the middle was a long underground corridor.

There are numerous detection devices in the corridor, including some deadly traps. The dragon guards its own treasures, but it's a pity that the one who came to take risks is not a hero but a demon king. The mechanic handled these alarms with ease and passed through the password door at the end.

The light shone into the mechanic's eyes. He didn't expect that there was a house next to this place.

Compared to the houses in A27, this place has a more lively atmosphere.

"Who are you?"

A confused voice came from the corner, and a girl in a nightgown looked at her fearfully. The strange woman turned her head, with an inhuman and cold look on her face.

"Are you from the airship?"

The girl took a step back alertly, as if she was about to shout, "Who are you?"

"I'm sent by the association. I'm from New Town in the south, and I'm a subordinate of Master Mason."

The mechanic introduced her identity very skillfully, and her tone and expression were quite convincing. After comparing the information, the girl immediately became happy.

"Great! We finally see the Association's rescue! We were attacked on the road. Fortunately, Mr. A27 helped us, otherwise many people would have been killed by those mechanical beasts."

"Don't get excited. Speak slowly."

The girl calmed herself down and started from the beginning.

After the mechanical airship crashed, everyone was scattered all over the forest. Fortunately, the Mechanical City sent rescuers in time and saved most of the people. Because the group of strange birds came from unknown places, for safety reasons, they were temporarily arranged in this house.

"Mr. A27 is now in charge of connecting us and helping us get in touch with the association."

A gleam flashed in the eyes of the woman in the black coat, and after a moment, she replied: "As far as I know, the association has not received any contact yet."

The girl subconsciously retorted: "Impossible, we just contacted the association a few days ago. They said they would send someone soon. Isn't that why you came here?"

“.....”

Of course it was impossible. Mason just switched to Oleus and asked the Luo family about the situation.

Ron did not return, and the family was now in the hands of Arnold, who assured him that the Society had not received any contact.

Facing the excited girl, the mechanic's tone softened: "We did not receive any contact, but learned the news through another means. Can you tell me about A27's situation?"

The other party did not suspect anything: "Mr. A27 is a good man, you can go upstairs to find him. By the way, how did you get in? There was an alarm at the door, but I didn't hear any sound."

"This is not a difficult task for high-level bloodlines. Have you seen high-level bloodlines from the Noble Association here?"

"No, they seem to be living somewhere else. Mr. A27 said they have been picked up by their superiors. Although they survived this time, our losses are still not small. The passengers on the airship are all people with backgrounds, and they will definitely ask for compensation from the Mechanical City."

The two of them asked and answered questions and soon understood the situation here.

The passengers who live here are all weaker. Apart from A27, they have rarely seen anyone else. Since they can communicate with the association normally, the passengers who live here have no complaints despite the restrictions on going out. After all, many of them are injured and are in the stage of needing a good rest.

The girl ran out because she was bored staying in the room, and she bumped into the mechanic as soon as she came out.

Seeing that he could not get any more out of her, the mechanic said sympathetically, "It's getting late, go back and get some rest."

"Sister, when can we go back?"

"It won't be long before someone comes to pick you up."

Hearing the answer, the girl naturally relaxed a little, said good night, and returned to the second room on the left.

When she left, the mechanic knelt on one knee with his palm against the wall.

“——”

With invisible waves, all the machines in the house started to operate. Hundreds of scenes passed by the woman's eyes.

People sleeping, children chatting, a girl who just entered the room, and blood relatives whispering to each other...

Everyone's actions came into his mind clearly, and with the help of the machine's eyes, all the scenes in the house were clear. Finally, the mechanic caught a new signal on the upper floor.

“Found it.”

The woman opened her eyes and walked towards the stairs without hesitation. She pushed open the door of a room on the second floor, and a hoarse voice came from the room.

"Miss, shouldn't you at least wear a cloak before a late night visit?"

The host turned around, revealing an old face. He was wearing researcher's clothes, and his eyes were deep and peaceful. It was A27. The visitor raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Only the weak need to hide their identities. I have something to ask you, sir. It is said that you are the mastermind of the airship incident. What do you think about this?"

"I didn't think you would say it so bluntly."

"I don't recommend you tell lies."

The woman smiled with her lips pursed, and A27 suddenly felt startled, as if he had encountered some dangerous carnivore. He had an intuition that if he lied, he would really die, so A27 immediately gave up the pretense and spoke faster.

"You've been deceived. I let them live here to protect the people on the airship. There's a bunch of bastards in the Mecha City, and they're planning to kill everyone on the airship and destroy the Mecha City."

"How do you know that?"

"I am in charge of connecting with the Mechanical City, so I am naturally aware of these things. I have already found out who the mastermind is, but I lack the necessary evidence. I hope you can help me."

The woman narrowed her eyes, and a name vaguely came to her mind. But she didn't say it out loud, and just asked briefly: "Who?"

As expected, A27 said the expected name.

"A11!"

"A-level researchers are named according to the time of their promotion. When I became an A-level researcher, A11 had already been here for a long time. He had a very close relationship with the upper management, so he often ran errands for them. Logically, I shouldn't doubt such a qualified researcher. But with Hai Shiz's betrayal, I had to raise such doubts. Hai Shiz had something that he absolutely couldn't refuse."

“That’s reconstructive surgery!”

A27 said: "The hard condition for entering the inner city is transformation surgery, but the loss of human emotions means the loss of the ability to feel happiness. In the beginning, every researcher joined the inner city with the idea of ​​dedicating their life to science and technology, but emptiness can kill people. Only the researchers with the strongest will can overcome the sequelae of transformation surgery."

"Unlike the outside world, researchers in the inner city are rarely contaminated. Aside from those who died in experimental accidents, the highest mortality rate among researchers is suicide."

"Although Heitz left the Mechanical City, he left behind many problems. The same is true for the flock of birds that attacked the airship. Someone installed a bird trap on the airship, and traces of modification and trapping were found on the carcasses of those birds."

"Isn't A11 a researcher who is dedicated to making listening devices?"

"It seems that you have already had contact with him. No wonder you are here. I know, did he ask you to come to me? He just wants to get rid of me."

A27 half laughed and half sighed when he heard the mechanic's words.

"After entering the Mechanical City, his research direction was indeed in the field of surveillance. But when he was in the Outer City, he was a well-known weapons genius. Making this device is not a problem for him. The most important thing is that his family is very good at modifying illusion-type mechanical beasts, so A11 is very familiar with the habits of ordinary tainted beasts."

"When the airship had problems, someone saw him roaming around the forest. A11 claimed that he was just taking out the trash. As far as I know, he hasn't made a robot beast for a long time. This is just his excuse to cover up his true intention - he is the mastermind behind the attack on the airship!"

The woman didn't answer immediately. She lowered her eyes, as if thinking. A27's hands were sweating. He had no choice but to hope that the other party would believe him.

After a while, the other party finally spoke: "I understand."

The brief exchange made A27 break out in a cold sweat. The woman leaned forward slightly, and her obsidian eyes reflected his face, clear and flawless like a mirror. This cold feeling was like a sharp sword, piercing A27's body and causing his skin to ache.

"I know you have an agenda, and I don't care. But if you lie to me, you will pay a heavy price, understand?"

A27 swallowed his saliva as the cold voice filled his ears. His voice was so dry that he couldn't even imagine it: "...Of course."

After hearing his promise, the woman stood up and left. A27 let out a long breath only after the door closed. She felt like she had been reborn.

......

The moonlight streamed into the house from the window, blending with the lights, making it look hazy and dreamy. To Mason, this was probably one of the rare beautiful views in the Mechanical City.

The boy spread out paper and pen, dipped the pen in ink, and spread fine lines on the parchment. He thought for a moment and wrote down his thoughts one by one.

First of all, it can be confirmed that Heitz was once a high-ranking official in the Mechanical City, but now he is in a state of betrayal. After his betrayal, the Mechanical City reached an agreement with the Noble Association to accept people from the Association to visit the Mechanical City.

On the way, the airship was damaged and fell due to the bird trap being attacked by a large number of monsters. A27, who was in charge of guiding the nobles, rescued the victims and hid them in his home.

Afterwards, Mason obtained the qualification to enter the inner city through the outer city competition, fabricated a new identity for the mechanic, climbed the central tower to meet the S-level researchers, and reached a cooperation intention with them.

Afterwards, A11 wants him to investigate whether A27 has betrayed him, and A27 wants him to investigate the specific evidence of A11's betrayal.

If Mason's guess was correct, A11 should be a follower of an S-level researcher, and therefore was responsible for taking the code disk. From this point of view, A11's identity is more official and authoritative.

But it would be too misleading to simply attribute all the actions to that S-level researcher. After all, even Heitz, who is also an S-level researcher, could betray, let alone others.

A27, on the other hand, produced detailed evidence to prove that the airship crash was related to A11. Both parties held their own views and had sufficient evidence.

Who is the wolf? Or are they both?

The system of the Mechanical City is destined to have fatal flaws. If the middle level deliberately conceals something, the upper level will easily lose contact. A-level researchers have great freedom.

In other words, he now needs to communicate with both parties to find out who is the wolf and be careful not to get himself into trouble.

...Damn, what the hell are these things! Why are each one more complicated than the last!

Mason hesitated for a few seconds, it was hard to imagine that he would encounter such a pitfall. God knows he really just wanted to find some technical personnel to do the work for him! ?

Having said that, since the matter is related to the communication between the Mechanical City and the Noble Association, it must be dealt with.

Where to start...

Mason thought about it for a moment and chose his target in his mind.

Bot, who was studying in the house, sneezed and looked outside the door suspiciously.

"Strange, why do I feel like someone is talking about me? Could it be that my uncle is coming back?"

Thinking of the other party's cold face, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, lowered his head and concentrated on reading the book.

At this moment, the young man had no idea that his premonition was correct and someone was looking for him outside.

Bot was born into a family of mechanics. Due to the appearance of A11, he became famous in the outer city. It is not difficult to find their home, but it is difficult to find Bot.

Fortunately, the thing that the Mechanical City lacks the least is mechanical equipment, and he happens to have a foreign aid who is familiar with this place.

Mason went upstairs to greet the fat boy's father, and learned from him where the A11 family lived. The other party was quite famous in the outer city, or in other words, the family that every inner city researcher came from was very famous.

First, confirm the residential area, and then use the device to sneak in. Mason successfully found the target. The house of the A11 family is located in the wealthy area of ​​the outer city, covering a large area, and the appearance exudes the smell of a rich person.

Mechanical guards are also used here, which is a trend in the mechanical city. Using manpower for guarding is considered a symbol of cheapness.

The mechanic's eyes lit up, and the security robots all moved their cameras away, allowing them to enter smoothly.

Standing at the door of Bot's room, Mason snapped his fingers. The ripples of the water mirror echoed in the air, and two androids appeared in front of him.

The young man smiled and said, "I'll leave this mission to you."

"clear."

The two androids agreed without hesitation and went up to knock on the door together.

"Hey, get out of here and stop knocking!"

Bot had already learned to be impatient, and the continuous knocks on the door made him even more annoyed. He stood up suddenly and walked to the door angrily. The Mechanical City curses in his heart turned into fear when he saw who was coming.

"You, you two...!"

Here, here, aren’t these the two people I met last time! ?

A familiar fear surged in his heart, and Bot shuddered, his eyes involuntarily falling on the other person's neck. The skin there was smooth, without any wounds, as if what happened before was just a nightmare he had.

"Don't be afraid, we have something to ask you this time."

The cleaner showed a refreshing smile, which once again triggered the boy's psychological shadow. He said with a hint of tears: "What do you want to know? I know nothing..."

It was indeed pitiful to see him like this, but it was a pity that he was facing an emotionless android. Another android said coldly: "Tell me about your uncle's situation."

"You don't want to do anything to my uncle, do you? I tell you, my uncle is very powerful, I will never betray my family! You are in my house now, if you come any closer I will call for help!"

Bot immediately became alert, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that these people had other intentions. He secretly put his hands behind his back and tried to press the emergency button of the contactor. The mechanic raised his eyes, and all the devices in the room immediately became inoperable.

The lights flickered and the sudden darkening of the view startled Bot. Two androids slowly approached him, speaking in a deep voice.

"You might as well think about it again, don't you?"

The cleaner snapped his neck and slowly leaned over to Bot. Ham's craftsmanship was extremely ingenious. The complex circuits were like blood vessels, and they became even more realistic when wrapped in simulation materials. Bot felt dizzy and felt his whole body go limp. His voice was faintly like crying.

"I'm sorry, I'll tell you whatever you want to know! Please don't kill me!"

There is some backbone, but unfortunately not much. This method is quite useful, I can continue next time.

The cleaner put the head back on his neck. Bot had no idea what strange button he had turned on, and he choked with sobs, feeling lucky that he had escaped.

The two androids successfully learned the information they needed from each other. As A27 said, A11 went to the forest when the airship crashed. Bot knew this because he had admired this uncle since he was a child and was always concerned about his whereabouts. When A11 left home that day, he followed him for a while secretly. He stopped because he was afraid that the other party would find out.

In his previous life, this guy would have been a brainless hater. Now it saves Mason a lot of trouble.

The two androids continued to interrogate according to the Lord's instructions: "Where did you get the things you used last time?"

Bot was like a frightened little rabbit: "What do you mean? I've already sent the things back, and I don't plan to attack anyone again - Oh, I knew you were in the same group! That woman must not like me and wants to kill me, right? I won't take her place!"

"It has nothing to do with this. Just answer my question. Otherwise, watch your neck."

"Uncle will definitely kill me if he knows!"

The android asked calmly, "Are you safe here?"

"......"

Hearing the counter-question, Bot felt like a lump in his throat. He took out an ID card with grievance: "My uncle's old laboratory, you can use this to enter."

The androids took away his ID card and ordered Bo to leave the room in a cold voice. Under their coercion, Bo walked out unwillingly.

As soon as he left the house, he saw two people in the courtyard, especially the mechanic, whose eyes suddenly widened, full of accusatory "I knew it!" Mason pretended not to see it, took the ID card and asked curiously: "Did your uncle take your card?"

"Take it away."

Bot glanced at them quickly and whispered, "But our family asked professionals to make a few copies just in case..."

...I copied several of them.

Mason said in a subtle tone: "Your family is quite interesting."

If someone secretly copied the ID card without my knowledge and was found out, you would know what would happen. Facing his strange gaze, Bot lowered his head guiltily, not daring to say a word.

"Never mind, that's not the point anyway. Where is your uncle's old lab?"

“This is really not...”

Mason smiled and gestured, and the two androids began to communicate skillfully. After good communication, Bot volunteered to lead the way for them.

Under his guidance, Mason successfully found the laboratory.

After dodging the guards and swiping the fake ID card, the door of the laboratory slowly opened, followed by a strong alarm.

"Beep beep - intrusion detected, activate weapons..."

Before the prompt was finished, the mechanic slammed the door lock hard, and the mechanical device immediately quieted down, changing from red to green.

Bot's eyes widened, his face full of incredulity: "If you have this ability, why do you ask me for an ID card?"

Mason calmly replied, "Didn't you hand it over voluntarily? Now that you're here, there's no need to feel sorry for it."

"......"

Bot simply couldn't control his expression and could only look away awkwardly. The mechanic suddenly said, "There's another door inside."

"That's impossible. I've been here many times. There's only one room here."

"Here."

The mechanic walked inside and easily opened the door to the inner floor. Mason was suddenly unable to take his eyes off the weapons on the shelf.

These are high-lethality weapons rarely seen in the outside world. They are expensive and rare, and some even only appear in laboratories.

Bot looked at the room behind the door stupidly: "It turns out that my uncle has hidden so many things, I didn't know..."

"It's better not to know. If you knew, it might cause some trouble."

Mason glanced at the boy, who lowered his head in shame and didn't dare to look at him.

Soon, he found more things. The deeper you go into the laboratory, the more dangerous it becomes. Everything is sealed in glass cabinets. Weapons and research objects are placed in the cabinets, attracting the attention of visitors.

"What are these? I've never seen anything like this."

Bot looked at the chips in the glass case with curiosity. Their surfaces were covered with silver and white lines, and the patterns were extremely complex. Mason stared at them and was already familiar with them.

"This is the chip of the artificial human."

"Artificial human!?"

The boy let out a small cry of surprise. The impact of the mechanical disaster was huge, and it still looms over people's minds today. The question is how could there be an artificial human chip in A11's laboratory? This is not something you can see everywhere.

“Why did A11 build the laboratory in the outer city?”

Bot said weakly, "I know this. The inner city has regular inspections for special research matters. There are more people in the outer city, so the search is simpler."

This is a protective measure. After losing their emotions, human beings' bottom line can be broken to an unimaginable degree. Therefore, tough measures are needed as supervision.

"It seems that A11 hid these things here to avoid inspection."

Mason thought about it and walked to the end. There was only a silver-white metal cabinet, which was strictly sealed by various measures. The outermost layer was a blue phantom current. When Bot saw it, he immediately warned.

"This is a special device. Once we turn it on, it will notify the owner. We'd better not act rashly."

He didn't want to help, but was afraid of being discovered by his uncle. It would be terrible if the latter knew that it was he who gave the card.

Before Bot could finish his words, the woman in the black coat had already opened the instrument. Bot's eyes went dark and he felt that all his words were in vain. Now he could only hope that his uncle would not come so quickly and give him a chance to escape.

But after waiting for a long time, the alarm never sounded. Bot secretly opened one eye and saw the flax-haired boy standing in front of the instrument, kicking the door open.

Bot: "......"

Oh my god, uncle, it’s not my fault, these guys are so brutal!

He screamed silently in his heart and watched the closet door burst open, revealing a pair of eyes that were glowing faintly.

“——”

Bot's legs were shaking and he was about to fall down again. Mason stopped him first.

"It's not a corpse, it's a cyborg."

"Artificial man?"

Bot took a closer look and indeed found many things about the man that were out of place. He was a man with brown hair and brown eyes and an ordinary face. His lifeless eyes stared straight ahead, and there was a hint of the metallic feel that was unique to man-made objects.

"It turns out to be a man-made person..."

He felt inexplicably relieved, at least his uncle wasn't a pervert who collected corpses.

...No, androids are also a big problem! The outside world has always been jealous of the Mechanical City and strictly prohibits researchers from studying android technology. If anyone knows about this, none of them will be able to escape.

“Now that’s a problem.”

Mason rubbed his forehead and asked, "Where is A11 now? Can you contact him?"

Bot rolled his eyes. "How could I possibly know where my uncle is? He doesn't need to tell me."

"Think carefully about where he might be, or if there's a way to contact him."

"Well... I have his contact code, but I can't guarantee that I can get through."

Bot silently contributed his communicator. With the blessing of the mechanic, he could sense the endless signals pouring into his senses. The entire mechanical city was like an ocean, roaring in response to the king's will.

Search, sense, lock.

The woman suddenly opened her eyes and looked somewhere sharply. She knew where the other person was.

A11 is in the inner city, the specific location is...

In the house of A27.

Mason's face changed slightly and he turned around suddenly, scaring Bot.

"What happened to you suddenly?"

"Do me a favor."

After hearing what the other party said, Bot waved his hands again and again: "No! I can't do it!"

The linen-haired boy looked at him in silence, his voice becoming quieter and quieter, and finally nodded in frustration. The other party's expression was so cold that he dared not refute.

...as if something big had just happened.

The scooter swung in a dashing arc and sped recklessly on the road. Under the control of the mechanic, the scooter reached a speed beyond imagination.

From a distance, Mason saw many mechanical guards falling from the sky. People gathered around A27's house, with dangerous red lights flashing in their eyes. A11 and A27 stood at the door, and the old researcher stared at each other with an extremely ugly expression.

"A11..."

A27 stared at the man in front of him: "I didn't expect you to act so quickly. I underestimated you."

The latter replied politely: "You are joking. According to my age, I need to address you as my elder."

“Drip—drip—drip—”

"Warning, warning. A missing member of the Noble Association has been detected. It has been confirmed that it is A-level researcher A27 who is hiding secretly. He is now being detained. The relevant personnel will be transferred to a safe location."

"Warning, warning. A missing member of the Noble Association has been detected. It has been confirmed that it is A-level researcher A27 who is hiding secretly. He is now being detained. The relevant personnel will be transferred to a safe location."

After repeating this three times, the mechanical guards in the sky quickly took action. One team captured A27, one team sealed off the building, one team blocked the road, and the last team went to rescue the members of the Noble Association.

The latter was still confused when he was rescued, and couldn't believe that the person who had taken care of him for so long was actually a fake. A11 explained politely, with a smile on his face.

Mason did not approach, but stood at a distance and stared at the researcher, somewhat confused as to what this guy was trying to do. When everything was over, A11 came to them. He did not mention the two people's arrival, but simply thanked them sincerely.

"Thank you for your help. Without your help, I would not have been able to find the problem with A27 so easily."

"Our help?" Mason narrowed his eyes. "You tracked us?"

"The Mecha City is known for its mechanical devices, but there is more than one way to track things in the world."

A11 smiled but did not reveal the details of his approach.

"Let me introduce myself to you again. I am a subordinate of Mr. Hardy, an S-class researcher. The Mechanical City will remember your help."

The machine that had completed the search landed beside the three people and reported dutifully: "The search is complete. All documents have been collected. Do you want a summary?"

"Well done, take it back and turn it in."

After receiving the reply, the machine paused for a moment, then flew away.

A11 retracted his gaze and said, "Although I still have a lot to say, I have to go back and report. You can come to my house later. I live in the sixth district of the inner city."

After a brief greeting, A11 left with a large number of robots, and Mason had no intention of staying.

The mechanic next to him had a slight gleam in his eyes, and if you looked closely you would see that it was an endless stream of data. Just now, the mechanic had copied all the data in the robot.

What did the robot find? Mason closed his eyes, immersed himself in the data stream, and began to read the data.
