Chapter 76 Chapter 76 is for three lives.
Bai Mo picked up the pocket knife, turned his wrist, and "clang" followed by a buzzing sound.
The energy knife stabbed into the table.
There was an imperceptible hole on the side of the knife, and the moment it pierced the table, the hole flashed with the sharpness of a needle tip.
The needle tip rebounds quickly.
On the surface, it's just an ordinary knife, but the stuff on this needle is probably enough to kill a person hundreds of times.
This is a weapon used by space pirates and is not something a student can get.
Bai Mo held the tip of the knife and handed it back to Tao Ying. Tao Ying gladly took it and put it back behind her waist.
Facing Bai Mo's questioning gaze, Tao Ying said innocently, "I'm weak, so it's normal for me to carry a knife when I go out alone, right?"
"Where did you get the knife?"
“I found it at a second-hand market.”
"What about this?" Bai Mo showed an expression that said you've passed the test, changed his hand, and took out a stun gun from Tao Ying's lower back.
There was a burst of ping-pong sounds.
Tao Ying's weapons all fell to the ground.
Bai Mo just looked at her with his arms folded, saying nothing.
Seeing that he couldn't fool her, Tao Ying shrugged.
"I have no hostility. I just want to test the skills of my future teammate, you."
Bai Mo frowned: "Who wants to be your teammate?"
"If the Space Ghost Girls can make it into the top three of this competition, you'll team up with us to compete in the professional league. You said that in front of the conference hall at Lemen University."
Tao Ying said seriously.
"I just said we'll see, but I didn't guarantee anything."
Bai Mo frowned even tighter, and then he stretched out his hand coldly.
Bai Mo doesn't like group activities. If he can participate in the competition alone, he won't bother to find teammates.
Plus...
Bo Mo raised his head and said, "You don't trust me. If that's the case, you shouldn't have asked for my help in the first place, instead of suddenly testing me halfway."
Bai Mo has only been dealing with mechas since she was a child - she is not very good at judging the distance between people.
She doesn't care about others either.
The only thing she cared about was the mecha.
And Hengwo is the most special one among these mechas.
She helped the student simply because she was the "unlocker."
Bai Mo stepped closer and said, "I don't care what your purpose is, nor am I interested in what you intend to do with Bai Industries."
Bai Mo's tone was a little heavy.
"I'm helping you because Heng needs a pilot, that's all."
"I don't care about the purpose," Bai Mo said, but he sounded like he cared a lot.
Tao Ying coughed lightly.
When Bai Mo was a child, she often came to Laiji Institute to play, and the members of Laiji Institute all liked to tease her.
I accidentally got into the habit of teasing him.
Tao Ying reflected for three seconds, put away his joking attitude, and spoke in a serious tone.
"You misunderstood."
"I'm here to seek cooperation."
"More than anyone else, I want Hengwo's existence to be made public. It shouldn't rot in a warehouse. It deserves to shine on a wider field...even on the battlefield. In this respect, I'm the same as you."
"I just have a headache today, and my mental strength is a little out of control."
Tao Ying sighed and raised the black crystal in his hand.
“Maybe it’s because of this stone.”
As soon as it was taken out, the crystal emitted a burst of blue light. Tao Ying had an expression of "I knew it" on his face, and he suppressed his headache with a "hiss" sound and squatted down again.
Throwing the stone into Bai Mo's arms made him feel better.
Bai Mo noticed this stone just now. She originally thought it was a decoration like a wishing stone, but she didn't expect it to be related to mental power.
"This pyroxene...you said it caused you to lose control?"
Tao Ying sat back dejectedly.
"Yes, I pulled it from Xu Biao."
"He must have picked it up from the Frofa Mountains. There are abnormal mental fluctuations in it."
At first, Tao Ying thought that it was Xu Biao who triggered her to lose control, but Tao Ying rarely had too much emotional fluctuations because of others, especially people of Xu Biao's level.
He is not worthy enough to be her opponent.
Then it can only be something from Xu Biao.
Time was running out for the competition, and Tao Ying only had time to realize that there was something wrong with the stone before she pulled it off.
Tao Ying tapped his head with his index finger.
"My loss of control may be related to that relic."
·
Sure enough, after taking away the pyroxene, Tao Ying's out-of-control state was completely lifted and he returned to normal.
After a series of precise tests, Bai's Industry confirmed that the pyroxene provided by Tao Ying contained abnormal energy.
"It does have a certain impact on the unlocker's mental strength."
Bai Mo was puzzled: "But according to you, Xu Biao also wore this stone for a while, why did you lose control?"
"It might be some ancient Blue Star technology. Your Bai Industry has a long history and is quite familiar with this. Ask your grandmother, maybe she can figure it out. She's a scholar of mental power."
"How do you know my grandma studies this?"
"She was Tao Ying's mentor, as written in Tao Ying's diary."
Bai Mo: “…”
Why does Tao Ying write everything in her diary?
After Tao Ying talked with Bai Mo about the league for a while, they temporarily decided to hand over the pyroxene to Bai's Industrial Research Institute for research.
Although losing control can allow her to perform beyond her normal physical condition, the side effects on her mental strength are still unknown, so she cannot use it at will.
When she reached the gate of Bai's Industry, Tao Ying remembered something and called Bai Mo.
People outside were in a hurry, and Tao Ying stretched out her hand to catch a few raindrops.
My palms are cold.
Tao Ying looked up at the sky and said to the other end of the communication:
"As a partner, I've certainly been a little dishonest. So I've thought about it, and there are some things I need to clarify with you."
Tao Ying went straight to the point.
"I came to Chester to rebuild the Laiji Institute."
"And the cost to Iowa families."
Bai Mo didn't expect that this person would actually talk about such an important thing on the phone, and he choked.
"So your cooperation is to make us enemies of Iowa Tech?"
"You and Iowa Tech have always been competitors. This has no disadvantages for you. I am simply proposing a partnership. Whether or not to make this deal is up to you."
Bai Mo was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you doing all this for Tao Ying?"
"One-third of it is."
Tao Ying lowered her head and lost herself in memories. After a while, she seemed to find this reason a little funny.
She has always cared about interests, and she didn't know when she would fall into an unexpected situation for reasons that she herself could not understand.
"It's for three lives."
After Tao Ying finished speaking, she casually picked up the transparent umbrella at the company's door, and raindrops hit the umbrella with a crackling sound.
She walked into the rain.
Crowds of people walked past her, the sound of rain grew louder and louder, and Tao Ying tightened her grip on the umbrella handle.
Tao Ying's life has not been smooth sailing.
She was born in a remote galaxy and was a child of the Black Cabin, but she relied on her own abilities to reach the first galaxy and became the director of the Laiji Institute at a young age.
Tao Ying is very good at it and enjoys using her wisdom.
Since childhood, Tao Ying has always been able to get what she wants.
Whatever you want to do, you can do it.
But...it wasn't always like this.
Tao Ying sighed imperceptibly and then whispered.
"I have experienced three irreparable failures in my life, each of which resulted in the loss of a life."
"So, one of them is Tao Ying?"
Bai Mo's cold voice came from the communication.
This kid is really persistent in what he wants to know.
Tao Ying chuckled: "Yes, one of them is."
·
Because the big explosion in the semi-finals was very quick and the schedule was relaxed, Tao Ying's team took a few days off.
Tao Ying pushed open the door and saw her two teammates huddled on the floor in front of the sofa, watching the Spark science program.
The host's deliberately deep voice came from the speakers.
"Today, let us go deep into the Frofa Mountains and explore the ancient secrets."
Lin Biege and Nan Gua excitedly waved at Tao Ying: "Xiaoying! Come and see, is this the pit you fell into last time?"
"Oh, yeah," Tao Ying replied casually, glancing at the screen. She untied her scarf and hung it on the coat rack.
The teammates were watching the show with great interest when a ten-minute commercial was inserted into the program. The two teammates, out of boredom, started playing the bee game.
Tao Ying remembers Spark Science as a program that explores supernatural events and then explains them with science.
Tao Ying casually asked, "What kind of supernatural events happened in that rift? How come I don't know about it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the program's commercials ended and the highlights began:
[A large number of human remains were discovered within the ruins of an ancient Blue Planet? Is this a distortion of morality, or a loss of humanity...]
Lin Biege: "I heard a lot of corpses were found deep in the cave! How terrifying."
Tao Ying nodded. "I heard it. You don't need to repeat it. So what creature does the skeleton belong to?"
Speaking of this, Lin Biege no longer felt sleepy: "Of course it's human."
Lin Biege came over and said, "What's strange is that these bones have similar heights, body shapes, and even DNA. It's like they belong to the same person!"
That's really strange.
It sounds like an army of clones died in the rift.
Nan Gua said cautiously, "Isn't this another organ case like last time, like a cloned bionic human?"
"You know about that?" Tao Ying looked at Nan Gua in surprise.
The last time Lin Biege was tricked into working illegally, she happened to run into the bionic organ case, and it was Tao Ying who rescued her, but this matter should be a secret.
Tao Ying said to Lin Biege, "Did you tell her?"
Lin Biege waved his hand: "Why should I talk about such an embarrassing thing? But the bionic human organ case is very famous, and everyone on Chester knows about it."
As he spoke, Lin Biege cut out the review of previous issues of Spark Science.
[The bionic people are running away en masse. Could it be that they have developed self-awareness?]
The header picture shows hundreds of bionic people standing on the first floor of Xinxin Express, greeting the Star Police.
The photographer's underworld filter adds a touch of weirdness to the picture.
Tao Ying opened the comment section of the program, wanting to see what the production team had discovered, but she didn't expect everyone to be criticizing the bad ending.
"It's all for attention, there's no investigation result at all, bad review."
"You said these androids are controlled, but you tell me who is controlling them."
The production team replied mysteriously: "There is an inside story that cannot be disclosed."
Tao Ying: “…”
There was no inside story. She just controlled the central computer in order to escape.
This show is really unreliable.
Tao Ying flipped through it casually and closed the comments.
As far as Tao Ying knows about this program, it does not provide any useful information.
Tao Ying changed her clothes and was about to go upstairs when she saw the host of the show tied a safety rope and actually entered the crevice himself.
The host spoke slowly in the darkness, facing the gloomy overhead light.
"According to investigations, two contestants fell into a crevasse during the auditions, but unfortunately, they both refused to be interviewed."
The host said in a mysterious tone, "One of them, I heard, has recently developed mysterious electric shock marks on his body, but no one can figure out the cause. Furthermore, no matter how much his teammates ask, he remains silent."
"Another contestant also declined the interview due to health reasons."
"I heard her physique is actually F!"
Tao Ying: “…”
So it was you who made the harassing phone calls two days ago?
