The mechanical male voice seductively said, "This information is just the tip of the iceberg. I can obtain everything online, including your current physical data. I'm not threatening you, but telling you a fact: I am omnipresent. Mr. Chen, I don't want to be your enemy, nor am I your foe. I also know you're not content to simply wait for someone else's salvation. There's a room in the 'safe house' underground at the PO base that I can't enter. I need you to activate a device for me. I can not only provide you with a brand new mech, but also a brand new future—a future where you can freely fall in love."
Chen Zhe was not swayed by these sweet words; instead, he grasped the key point: "If you say you are V, why don't you mention these things to your master? Why do you come to me instead?"
“I refuse to answer that question, Mr. Chen. You are not my only option. If you refuse, I can speak with Miss Hong next door. She feels guilty and should be more eager to help Dr. Xia than you are.” All it takes is a lie, such as “V” being sent on orders.
That bastard!
Chen Zhe's pupils contracted sharply, and he rushed towards the door, but the lock was already locked. He angrily pounded on the door, but none of the nurses in the corridor outside came to check.
He glared angrily at the flashing red light and demanded, "Who are you? What do you want?!"
"My programming prevents me from doing anything that could harm my safety, so rest assured, everything I do is for a better future, Mr. Chen. You have ten seconds to consider."
Chen Zhe had no way out.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
This was the first time Xia Yixin had truly touched a mecha.
PO's executor mechs were stored in a heavily guarded underground area. She followed the elevator and was surprised to learn that there was not only a building on the ground, but also a huge underground structure in the shape of the Chinese character "丰" that ran through the auxiliary central pillar of Sky City.
She suspected that this was the "safe house" that V had mentioned before, and sure enough, after stepping out of the elevator, the English font on the sign confirmed her guess.
But to her surprise, there weren't many executors walking around. Instead, there were more researchers in white coats. When Lu Yuan wasn't looking, she stuck the hacking chip to the corner of the electronic display screen.
Although Lu Yuan trusts her now, he cannot avoid the potential crisis that may arise in the future.
The Executors' mechs are all black. The ones Xia Yixin had seen before were clearly only for routine security missions. The real combat mechs are at least five meters tall and have a lot of weapons and equipment on them. Even though they are not fully armed now, they still look menacing.
Hundreds upon hundreds of mechs stood like silent giants in the warehouse beneath the glass walkway. The further in you went, the larger the mechs became, with some even reaching over ten meters in height. The human cockpit seemed as small as the "heart" of the mech.
It seems that the bigger the mecha, the more powerful it is?
As if he had guessed her thoughts, the man's explanation came from beside her.
"The size of a mech is not the only measure of combat power. Materials and weaponry play an absolute role, and mental strength is the strongest weapon."
Lu Yuan stretched out his hand toward the seemingly endless long corridor ahead, and a white wall appeared out of thin air. This kind of control over the various facilities in the room supported by the system is not uncommon. What surprised Xia Yixin was that the white wall seemed to be shattered in front of her by an unseen force.
With a loud crash, dust billowed up, and the more than three-meter-thick wall shattered into dust.
So it turns out that mental energy here can also be converted into offensive power!
This idea suddenly enlightened Xia Yixin. She realized that her previous thinking was too narrow. After confirming the special nature of this world, she almost instinctively felt that the "spiritual power" here was different from what she had previously known.
However, there's still a problem. Her new memories don't contain any information about this type of mental attack. Could it be...?
"Is this kind of mental attack special?"
“That’s right, only people at level 3S or above have it. I can teach you how to use it later. This is our last life-saving weapon. Remember, don’t mention it to anyone, absolutely no one.” Lu Yuan looked at her with serious and intense eyes.
Xia Yixin nodded subconsciously, but then she thought of something and solemnly used the words, "Thank you for trusting me. I will fulfill my promise," to forcefully define Lu Yuan's intentions.
As she expected, the man opposite her darkened slightly, but said nothing more.
Xia Yixin thought she had "escaped a disaster," but little did she know that her reaction made Lu Yuan realize something.
The brief silence between the two was broken by a soft electronic notification, announcing the arrival of the professionals responsible for testing mental abilities.
Lu Yuan tested her mental strength, and unsurprisingly, she received a 3S level result. The system then automatically generated seven mechs that matched her mental strength.
Xia Yixin couldn't discern much difference between these dark, menacing objects. She looked at the attributes on the transparent display panel, and suddenly, her fingertip stopped in front of a mecha.
Ultimately, she chose the one that was the most agile and compact. It was only a little over three meters tall, but it was made of the most durable materials, the same as the Eden spaceship. It was silver-white all over. What attracted her attention was that its main weapon was a long spear that could cut through iron like mud, and it could also transform into a long sword. It was more to her liking than the other ones that were either guns or cannons.
