Chapter 130 Endless Hidden Dangers
When Su Xi woke up from the hibernation capsule, it was already thirty-five minutes past the original scheduled time limit.
The interior of Youhuang Residence was still the same as usual, with the elegant fragrance of white tea filling the air. The good soundproofing of the living room blocked out the unusual noise from the outside world, and only the flickering red light on the blackout curtain indicated that this night was not so peaceful.
Click--sizzle--
Amid the gentle movement of the housekeeping robot's tracks, a cup of steaming energy-replenishing drink had been properly placed on the tray at the door of the repair cabin.
The humanoid Xiguang who was guarding the door of the repair cabin reached out to take the tray. The eyes of the humanoid head flashed red, and the blackout curtains in the living room dropped even heavier.
The last bit of strangeness in the room disappeared.
Su Xi, who had just come out of the repair cabin, was hastily dealing with the solution on her body. She was breathing heavily: "Xiguang, immediately increase the man-machine synchronization frequency to 60% depth. I need to quickly understand the situation of the entire island."
"No."
The cold mechanical voice rejected her crisply.
Xiguang took the drink in his hand and put it directly to Suxi's mouth without saying anything, giving Suxi the illusion that even if she refused, Xiguang would keep forcing her to drink it.
"According to Article 5 of the AI Law, when the 'master's' orders conflict with its absolute safety, the latter must be the final criterion for action decisions."
"Based on your physiological values, it is not suitable for you to exceed 15% of the human-machine interface strength at the moment," a few blue lights representing data operations flashed quickly at the eyes of the humanoid Xiguang's smooth head.
"The situation is special now!" Su Xi argued, her anxious attitude making her tone a little tough. Compared to the previous "wild" binding of one person and one machine, the current binding after the standard procedure certification has brought a subtle difference to the relationship between Su Xi and Xi Guang.
"No matter how special the situation is, I cannot violate the AI binding rules." The mechanical voice of the tablet explained the current behavior logic at an extremely fast speed: "Your current reaction is completely consistent with the calculation results."
"Based on your usual behavior, there is a 50% chance that you will manually restart my decision chip in the next six minutes. To avoid such a bad situation, I have prepared 350ml of physical enhancement compound in advance. After taking it, you only need to wait for ten minutes for the drug to react..."
The cold mechanical voice gave a series of explanations without any pauses or ups and downs. Su Xi was so overwhelmed by it. She raised her hands in a gesture of surrender and said loudly, "Okay, okay! Stop talking so much, Xiguang!"
"I drink! I drink!"
Su Xi reluctantly took the cup and drank it all.
Compared to the current 'Xi Guang' with the humanized components blocked, the previous cute and coquettish mode no longer appears, and instead, a new AI personality developed after several calculations - a nagging, meticulous butler-like 'Xi Guang'.
This made Su Xi miss the way 'Xi Guang' used to be, but she also knew that everything Fitz said was right.
I watched this human in front of me slightly raise her head, her delicate Adam's apple quickly swallowing the warm drink, and I watched her pale face gradually improve under the effect of the strong recovery agent...
There was a faint blue light flickering on Xiguang's face.
It was a gentle three-flash, two-stop frequency, indicating that it was adjusting the various values of her physiological recovery.
In addition, in the normal operation of its core chip, there is an emotional code similar to human "happiness" and "satisfaction" running.
*
While Su Xi was being strictly restricted by her own AI to "recover her best condition", outside the "absolute defense circle" of Youhuangju, a fierce battle was taking place that was approaching a white-hot stage.
From the perspective of reality from the outside, the half-beastial blond boy was standing in a mist created by the neural smoke bomb. His beautiful muscles were tense, and his bestial claws were swinging in the air - as if facing an invisible enemy.
The real enemy is now quietly hiding in the dark, preparing for the final attack.
From Asai's own perspective, after he was defeated in his first fight with the opponent, the current reality and the past in his memories began to become intertwined.
At this moment, what he saw in his golden vertical pupils, what he heard in his ears, what his half-beastly claws touched... were only those endless nightmares of the past!
A wasteland of corpses and blood, a strange smell of rot and blood, and crying and wailing all around. The tragic death of the cat-eared Loli was replayed before his eyes as if it were within reach.
Therefore, no matter whether he opened his eyes or closed them, whether he swung his claws to attack or retreated in defense, he could never break through the illusion of judgment deliberately created by the opponent.
At this time——
"… This is the third reminder. Please answer if you hear me!" A cold mechanical voice rang in his left ear. It was a communication from the real world.
On Asay's leopard ears, which had already transformed into beasts, the kyanite communication earrings flashed at an increasingly faster frequency.
"I heard you!" Asai responded, and returned to a defensive posture. "Xiguang! Where is that bastard hiding in the dark now?"
"The enemy mecha has activated a cloaking coating. I can calculate and determine its exact position, but I cannot give its exact location."
"Hmph." Asai snorted, "The floating island's so-called strongest defense... is useless!"
Xiguang ignored his ridicule. After all, the half-orc boy was not mocking him, so the cold mechanical voice continued to report the current situation: "Pupils dilated, breathing accelerated - all physiological data show that you have fallen into the opponent's "mental torture" for the third time. Please stay rational and sober."
"More importantly, please concentrate your thin mental power and keep your left ear aware of reality." The mechanical voice narrated in a flat tone, "Only in this way can you follow my guidance--"
Before he finished speaking, the mechanical sound of the tablet suddenly became sharp: "Attention! The next wave of attacks, four o'clock direction."
At the same time as the warning sounded, Asay heard a very faint sound breaking through the air in his left ear.
Whoosh, whoosh——
The orc boy dodged reflexively, but the air bomb passed by him and then exploded violently! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The smoke is everywhere!
Boom!
In addition to the blasting site, a large hole suddenly appeared on the ground! That was the pipe system of the floating island, hollow and interconnected!
The lurker who continued to hide nearby threw out a few reconnaissance balls. However, when he saw the air traffic control system in the big hole in the ground in the transmitted images, he secretly said "Oh no!"
He was exposed!
Before the lurker could escape from his hiding place, a half-beastial claw deeply penetrated into the back of the invisible mecha's neck. The lines of the bestial arm tensed up, and Asai snorted coldly, and without any pause, he tore the most vulnerable wiring welding point of the invisible mecha with his bare hands!
The blond boy raised his head, the beast's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and then the illusion of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood before his eyes was shattered -
The smoke of war in the real world also slowly dissipated.
In front of Asai's eyes, those illusory nightmares disappeared, and the real world finally appeared clearly. On the bestial leopard's ears, a blue topaz earring was shining brightly.
"Congratulations! You won! And your mental strength has improved."
"That's fine, but he still escaped."
Asai stood up straight, his unruly golden eyes sparkling, looking for the culprit who created the illusion.
The half-finger-deep wound on his forehead and the remaining blood made the boy's pretty face look extremely savage, but Asai himself didn't care and used his claws to roughly wipe away the blood on his head and face.
"But thanks anyway, Hee-Kwang!"
"You're welcome. Happy cooperation!" The mechanical sound of the tablet came from the earpiece. "The opponent's invisible mecha has been destroyed. He can't escape."
The place was filled with smoke and chaos. A Nightcrawler mech was completely destroyed in a half-squatting position on the ground. There were several deep trenches on the ground, so deep that they cut through the fake ground and vaguely revealed an artificial continental frame cast from underground alloy.
From the destroyed mecha, an alpha wrapped in a single-soldier exoskeleton suit walked out, looking like a tough humanoid weapon!
Is this the power of a 3S psychic? While connecting to the mecha, he can also set up a psychic illusion for the target! If it weren't for Xiguang's reminder, if the message Xiguang delivered didn't carry... Su Xi's spiritual mark -
Asai spat out a mouthful of blood.
I almost got caught here!
The half-orc boy, who was completely unprotected, rushed forward without hesitation, intending to deal a fatal blow to the opponent!
*
On the other side, while Asai was in a tough fight.
Pirri, Foxtail and Asa, however, took three completely different routes, circling the "absolute defense line" of Youhuangju in a mad way. Countless automatic micro-killers were chasing them like locusts.
Although most of these suddenly appearing killing machines have been shot down by the defenses outside the floating island, the semi-liquid models, which can be large or small and are extremely flexible, have allowed the other half to be preserved, causing great suffering to Pirelli and the other three.
At this time, Youhuangju's inner defense shield had been fully activated. The pale pink energy shield opened like water ripples, blocking all the night raiders' stealth mechas and these small and troublesome destruction machines outside the defense line.
Su Xi gave Asai, Foxtail and the other four people identifications, which was enough for them to hide in the protective shield.
But now——
皮爾力丢開了損壞的巡邏艇，只憑兩只人腿，圍繞着防禦線的邊界瘋狂的跑進跑出，有半數的微型殲滅沖勢不及撞上了內防禦罩，而被瞬間汽化……但另一半卻依舊鎖定了他，虎視眈眈的隔着淡熒色水波紋一樣的能量罩與他對望！
皮爾力哀嘆了一口氣！
自從熙光跟阿薩伊完全聯系上之後，一人一獸一個狐尾都一致決定要把隐患完全消滅在蘇熙清醒之前。
然後制定出來的這個鬼計策！
由于對方程序的惡意修改，熙光還暫時不能完全覆蓋住對方的運算代碼，只能做一些小修改。然後……造成的結果就是，這些蝗蟲般殲滅機的殺戮目标，就分成了三份——
他皮爾力身體最強壯，分的份數最多！
皮爾力苦哈哈的想着，深吸一口氣，腳步一蹬就再次從防禦罩內沖了出去。
*
蘇熙并沒有等到十分鐘的恢複劑完全起效果，便進入了與熙光的人機同頻，然後對于島上今晚發生的一切便瞬間了解。
琥珀色的眼眸裏先是空茫了一瞬，無數的數據流在虛拟的視野中流竄。
原本美輪美奂世外桃源一般的浮空島，此刻已經烽火四起，幸而熙光在奪過島上全部控制權之後，重點戒嚴了‘完全态基因修複池’所在的冷泉區，以及珍惜物種存儲區。
看到這個情況，蘇熙稍稍放下心來。
幾乎同時，她也看到了皮爾力三人的情況，以及——半獸化的金發少年，與‘夜襲者’之間的最後對決。
‘住手，阿薩伊！’
‘加裏！’
棕發omega全息的虛像出現在兩人之中，然而已經殺紅眼的兩人并沒有第一時間停下。
此刻正在肉身互博的兩人維持着一個微妙的平衡，基因強化後的半獸人以強悍的戰鬥力，對抗住了‘夜襲者’在機械外骨骼加持下的戰鬥力，甚至還隐隐壓迫過對方一頭！
對阿薩伊來說，剛晉升的精神力雖然只處在并不穩定的雙S初境，但勉強應付對方無形的精神力入侵，已是綽綽有餘。
眼看淩厲的攻勢就要穿透了蘇熙的虛影，兩人卻不約而同的停了下來，在各自卸掉力道之後，短暫的一觸即分。
場中又進入一個緊繃的對峙狀态。
剛占了上風的金發少年，略有不耐煩的沖蘇熙喊，“你別瞎摻和，等我五分鐘，解決掉這個雜碎，你就可以打開防禦罩……”
夜襲者并沒有介意阿薩伊的話，只是殘破的頭盔下嘴角略微彎出一個無奈的弧度。
他開口，這是今晚行動後的第一句話：“他說得對。但有一個更高效的方法——”然後語音卻突然停頓，脖子下突然青筋畢露，仿佛正忍受着突入起來的極大痛苦。
在這個短暫的卡頓之後，他繼續說：“蘇熙，打開外防禦罩吧，讓浮空島外圍的駐軍進入，今晚的一切就可以結束了。”
“你就徹底安全了。”
蘇熙并不答，微側身給了阿薩伊安撫一笑，神色平靜的對着夜襲者說：
“解決掉浮空島內部事務，我自然會打開外部防禦罩。”
“辛苦你了，”她說，“加裏。”
*
被稱做加裏的‘夜襲者’幹脆扒下戰鬥中已經殘破的頭盔，拎在手上。
他苦笑着說：“你別托大，我就是太大意，雖然安東尼種下的‘精神奴印’已經被霍德曼消除，但是那位皇後陛下的‘精神暗示’還在，而且比你們所能想象的強大太多了——”
正說着，加裏的臉上突然露出一種扭曲的表情，精神領域中兩種完全不同的意識和指令，正進行激烈的對抗和厮殺。
表現在外部，雖然竭力平靜，但說話之中依舊顯示出了一點痛苦的意味：“現在……一切行為已經失控，在沒見到‘絕對目标’之前，還尚可以……一旦你本人真正出現在我面前……”
蘇熙沉默。她知道，加裏的實力遠遠不是與阿薩伊對抗時所顯露出來的這麽一星半點。
場中一片靜默，甚至狼狽着‘處理’那些微型殲滅機的皮爾力三人，都站在了防禦圈內，緊張的看着這邊的一舉一動。暫時顧不上之前‘樂此不疲’的釣魚活動。
“狐狐狐狐尾大人，接下來來來會這麽樣？”口吃的阿撒緊張得開始咬手指。
“不知道。”狐尾皺眉，當下的場面如何發展，最終還是要取決與浮空島主人，也就是那位‘蘇熙小姐’的态度和最後的決斷。而依照他對蘇熙并不那麽深的了解……狐尾的心裏卻轉過好幾個念頭，開始愁着事後怎麽能把自己幾個從事故責任中給摘出來。
“蘇蘇蘇——”阿撒一邊咬着手指，一邊驚訝的叫着，然而還沒說完就被皮爾力一巴掌給粗魯打斷，“煩人！閉嘴！”
阿撒趕緊閉嘴，但眼神還是并沒有離開那個逐漸靠近內防禦圈分界線的身影。
仿佛察覺到他的注視，嬌小的omega轉過頭來，輕輕的做了一個‘噓’聲的動作。
阿撒閉嘴不語了。他自覺腦子笨，就聽命令閉嘴不語吧！
*
另一邊。離內防禦圈不到十米的距離。
正在這時，加裏手上的頭盔不知道被碰觸到什麽按鈕，外擴通訊器上的亮燈閃爍了幾下。
金發副官負手站立的模樣，就這樣以全息投影的形式出現在了場中。他雖然與蘇熙面對面，但卻首先轉頭對加裏致禮道：“謝了，加裏。不愧是三軍暗部的王牌行動者，你的優秀超出我的想象。”
“感謝長官贊譽。”加裏不卑不亢的回應着。
“也感謝你在如此艱難的情況下，依舊協助我聯通了浮空島的內部訊號。但鑒于你整體行動徹底失控，如後期逮捕行動中有所傷害，以個人名義我請請你務必理解軍部的任何決定。”
艾伯特的表述很是謙和了，加裏靜默點頭，并無意外。
“無論是什麽結果，軍部以一等功記。以特等功追加榮耀。”
艾伯特的承諾很是嚴肅，只不過加裏也很清楚，‘追加榮耀’這等說辭無不特指死亡之後的身後事。
對此結果加裏的內心是全然接受的，在他決定走上雙面間諜這條路的時候，就已經把所有可能發生的下場想過了一遍。對于一個暗處的特工來說，任務失敗後還能保持身後的名譽，已經是很光榮的‘壽寝正終’的方式了。
他沉默着點頭。
然而，場中另一個全息投影卻發出一聲嗤笑，“艾伯特，你有問過我的意見？”
艾伯特轉身，英俊的臉上恰到好處的挂上了一點為難的神色：“蘇熙小姐，請不要任性，這是軍部的事務。”
“讓您處于危險中，已經是我的失職……”
“你确實是失職！”蘇熙幹脆利落的打斷了他的話，“你的‘避嫌’和‘不作為’對于浮空島所造成的損失，我們可以押後再談。”
艾伯特的臉色徹底變了！他說他自己‘失職’只不過是一種語氣上的自謙，那裏想到卻被這個omega給順杆爬的扣了這麽大一個帽子下來！
并且她字字意有所指，徹底嗝得這位政務娴熟油滑的金發副官說不出話來！
艾伯特的臉色一陣青一陣白，顧忌着今晚的事肯定會被這個omega向他好友打小報告，一會兒他還得想法‘賄賂’她說點好話，于是這些暗地的譏諷，他咬牙先給受了！
但蘇熙接下來說的話，卻大大出乎了他的意料。
“怎麽處理加裏的事，我自有決斷。”
“外防禦罩現在不能打開。”
蘇熙的态度堅決：“不管軍部怎麽‘追加’加裏的身後榮耀，也不管在這之後你是否會被調職，”她望着滿身血腥狼藉的‘夜襲者’，一字一句的說：“你現在是浮空島的編內人員，那麽你現在所出的問題，就是浮空島的內部事務。”
“你的失控，瑪蓮娜留下的隐患，我會親自解決。”
話音未落，說着話的人已經站在了離他們不足十米的內防禦罩的邊緣。
然後防禦罩打開了。
不到半秒的瞬間，原本追逐着皮爾力三人不放的那群‘微型殲滅機’，在略微停頓之後，以一種自殺式的瘋狂朝那個嬌小的人影湮沒而去。
嘀——‘絕對目标出現！’‘格殺勿論！’
同時，在加裏的腦海裏，某根最後嚴密防範的弦，也徹底斷了！alpha原本還算平靜的眼，徹底猩紅，理智被瘋狂的殺意給湮沒！
然而在艾伯特的眼裏，就只看見一團烏雲嗡嗡輕鳴聲之中，身旁始終克制着殺意的加裏也不再保留實力！
以狡詐的精神力和精湛的近身戰技術，聞名三軍的金牌刑訊師，使出了他最成名的殺招。
艾伯特瞬間絕望！這個omega躲不過了——
