Chapter 83 Endless Learning Journey (20) Jinjiang Exclusively Authorized First...
It was a huge machine painted entirely in snow-white. It refracted a dazzling halo under the sunlight, and a thick energy shield floated around it. During the collision, the energy floated, and a very high heat energy gradually disappeared. The dust settled, and among the falling rubble and the light——
Only then did they see the words "Snowy Owl" printed glitteringly where its right shoulder connected to its upper arm.
This mecha has no universal sequence, only a name, and is obviously not a weapon assembled in accordance with alliance regulations and military requirements. A mecha that comes out of hibernation will expand more than ten times its size before awakening. The awakened "Snow Owl" completely surpasses the original teaching building in height.
"Close the network port, enable emergency security protection, and deny access from the outside world." Annie said.
"Yes, master. Emergency safety protection has been activated." The familiar intelligent synthetic voice sounded no different from the AI owl of the Night Owl.
Following the protection prompt sound of the "Owl", the gorgeous and dazzling snow-colored mecha half-knelt down, the energy shield spread out to form an isolation layer, and the door of the cockpit slowly opened.
Ani had learned to drive a mecha before, and had also participated in combat simulations on the Star Network, but this was her first time actually using one. Before she entered the cockpit, she turned around and said to Yongsheng, "Your mecha is so strong that it's hard to damage it. Why don't you come in too?"
The cockpit can accommodate more than two people. Yongsheng was so shocked when it flew over that he almost crashed. He subconsciously took a step back and answered with a complicated expression: "I can't scan its data."
Ani recalled the detailed data and functions that Nanfeng had told her, and said uncertainly: "I remember some of them, there shouldn't be any particularly strange modifications."
"This is your first time driving..." This was probably the first time that Yongsheng experienced such a rich variety of emotions as an omnipotent machine: confusion, shock, hesitation. Her perception was also quite complicated because of the admiration and worship she had accumulated in the past.
Annie waved her hand and entered the mecha.
The hatch closed, and the Snow Owl's cockpit was at the position of the head. After the cabin sank into the mecha, the light pattern on the front mask suddenly changed from green to blue.
The driving seat wrapped and fixed her limbs, and four partitioned light screens unfolded in front of Annie. There were hundreds of buttons and joysticks on the complex operating console, but the automatic mode was used at the moment. These manual operating consoles were generally only activated in case of failures and extreme operations.
Ani switched modes immediately.
A dozen tentacles climbed up and the fuselage rotated.
The appearance of the snowy owl attracted a large number of monsters, including the huge jellyfish, which no longer lay lazily on the ruins of the teaching building, but slowly crawled up, and more jellyfish were copied.
Ani's communicator established a secure channel with Yongsheng. She said, "Stop other programs and try the virus itself. How about that?"
"Can you guarantee its safety? If you succeed in clearing out its body that's entrenched in the system, I can try to take back control before the virus contaminates it again." Yongsheng said.
[Contestant Annie, using mecha weapons is a violation of the rules and your ranking points will be deducted according to the regulations. 】
Ani glanced at the notification that was displayed, raised the control lever with her tentacles, and the Snowy Owl approached the huge jellyfish monster little by little. As she approached the monster, she pulled the corner of her lip and joked with the angel: "You are so heartless. You have to deduct this too. It's fine if you don't reward me - what can you do without me?"
The mecha's plasma double-chain saw was storing energy, and the muzzle of its armor-piercing gun flipped over with a click. Energy surged up, and the indicator lights on the outer wall of the muzzle lit up in circles.
The live broadcast cannot be paused, and most of the audience are watching the screen with bated breath and full concentration. They could feel the dry wind blowing across their hair and faces, and the air was filled with the lingering smell of energy. It was as if everyone was standing at the feet of two huge objects, looking up at the monster that was gnawing at the tall buildings, and the interstellar weapons that shone with metallic colors.
Countless monsters parasitized by jellyfish shifted their targets and rushed over, trying to stop the Snowy Owl from moving forward. However, the mecha still approached firmly and slowly - the plasma chainsaw on its right arm lit up with a hissing sound, and the chain teeth made a frantic sound.
In the interval when everyone was afraid to breathe, a few comments drifted by:
“Is this our monster’s perspective?”
"Tonics, oh tonics, they're killing me..."
Bang! With a short and clean bang, the wildly spinning chainsaw quickly smashed the monster blocking the path, and then the chainsaw sank down, flattening the road in front of it like a bulldozer to clear it.
The audience's perspective was also turned upside down. They felt the splashing blood, the intertwined roars and collisions, and in front of them was a large cleared area of ground. The sawtooth was roaring and spinning wildly above their heads.
"Ahhhhhhhh Nini, I'm your fan!"
"I want the cockpit view! Honey, please be merciful--"
Many more people were so stunned that they forgot to type or send voice messages. Intelligent life simulated every detail, as if they were truly experiencing such a life-and-death moment. With the adrenaline rushing and the extreme excitement and tension of reaching the top, the perspective suddenly switched.
The audience met Ani.
The moment her face appeared, my heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly stopped.
"Ani, my wife...I love you..."
“Baby…baby…”
The tentacles continued to be debugged on the operating table. This was Annie's first time piloting a mecha, and her knowledge of the Snowy Owl was limited to what she heard from others. The approach, action, and weapon activation just now were all a process of constant familiarization and adjustment.
The running-in period for other mecha soldiers is from several months to a year, but the situation is urgent and there is not so much time. If she doesn't act now, the huge jellyfish virus will pounce on the Snowy Owl like it is devouring a building, and she will have no room for running-in and preparation.
The tentacle's secondary brain started to work, and Annie's familiarity increased rapidly. At this moment, the entire live broadcast screen shook, and the transparent tentacles of the jellyfish appeared on the screen.
The pink jellyfish swooped down on the snowy owl. It was huge and soft, with endless transparent tentacles wrapped around it, looking for gaps to penetrate.
Fortunately, the driver was Ani. She was able to block wave after wave of virus attacks. The scene flipped, the perspective zoomed out, and a chainsaw flashing with energy swept across and pierced into the jellyfish's skin.
The inside of the giant jellyfish was fluid, and Annie had anticipated this. Instead of expanding the damage, she immediately retracted the chainsaw. However, the inside immediately contracted and the pressure increased, solidifying the chainsaw on her right arm inside.
As the weapon was restrained, the chainsaw in the other hand retracted. The mechanical arm on the Snow Owl's left arm burst open, and eighteen mechanical claws controlled the surface of the opponent's umbrella from above.
The transparent tentacles were flying wildly.
The virus struggled violently, and the face of the live broadcast room was swept across by circles of tentacles again and again. The angel also captured and conveyed this feeling, as if a cold jellyfish was slapping its face again and again.
The audience in the live broadcast room subconsciously wiped their faces and realized that their faces were not washed by the tentacles of the giant jellyfish. Everyone got goosebumps and were attracted by the wonderful scene.
"I... am allergic to seafood... I won't do this if it wasn't for Annie..."
"Just arrived, who is this? Such a shocking scene, what's going on?"
"?? It has spread all over the Star Network, what is your purpose in coming to our universe?"
Its tentacles searched for cracks in the metal and wrapped around the joints of the Snowy Owl. As the two sides struggled and tore at each other, the entire ground of the academy was shaking.
The mechanical claws holding the umbrella cap did not loosen at all, and the jellyfish suddenly released an electric current. Annie activated the preheated inner shield, and the electric current rushed through the energy shield.
At the same time, the muzzles of the two rows of armor-piercing guns were pressed against the opponent's body.
With a loud bang, rows of spiders broke through the skin of the giant jellyfish. The chainsaw that had sunk into its body was pulled out again, and then it entered again—
Ani avoided the other buildings below her feet and regained control of the ruins. The chainsaw cuts from bottom to top, sending sparks flying.
"You look so handsome when you have no expression on your face!"
"Even the videos in the military zone don't show many actual mecha combats, how come she can do everything!"
"Will you learn faster if you have more tentacles? I want to grow some too..."
When Ani was concentrating, there were prompts floating in the corners that she could not notice.
[Reshape everything like a creator——Hidden mission has been triggered, exploration degree +1...Current exploration degree 92%]
[Exploration degree +1...Current exploration degree 93%]
[Exploration degree +2...]
[No. 21 in the Galaxy, Annie.] Exploration degree 95%, student reputation 100, teacher impression -70, current identity: rebellious savior. 】
Ani's control over Snowy Owl grew faster and faster.
From relying on theoretical driving at the beginning, she can now vaguely feel the limits of this mecha and understand the most violent driving method in advance to prevent it from suffering excessive damage.
Energy is continuously supplied, and a tentacle wraps around the push rod that is pushed to the bottom. The system's red safety prompts began to appear on the light screen.
The wildly spinning chainsaw did not stop, and the armor-piercing shells that had pierced the opponent's skin stagnated in the fluid. The cutting process became slow and difficult, and Ani felt the body of the giant jellyfish solidify again.
…I’m really a genius at making viruses. Ani licked her lips, her face expressionless, as these words emerged in her mind.
Armor-piercing shells like the Snowy Owl's can shatter even a starship's energy shield. It actually has the property of being able to hinder destructive weapons. I don't know whether to blame Yongsheng's energy reserves in the testing area, or to blame her for being too extreme when she created it.
It is impossible to reach the nerve rings in the body of the large jellyfish.
More transparent tentacles twisted and danced wildly, dust and smoke rose around the ruins, and the copied small jellyfish were quickly destroyed.
The red safety warning flashed in front of her. Ani paused and said to Owl, "Start the backup energy."
"That is the energy module that allows the cockpit to detach independently, preventing the driver from getting hurt..."
"start up."
Annie pressed the light screen with her hand, and the synthesized AI voice stopped immediately. The backup energy module was placed on the fuselage, and the chain saw fixed in the jellyfish started moving again.
There are two round holes shaped like eagle eyes on the shoulders of the snowy owl.
A faint white light emerged, and then a ray of light that penetrated the sky and the earth obscured everyone's vision. Even though the angel had lowered the brightness, many people still subconsciously closed their eyes.
The feeling of the laser cannon hitting their faces was like pulling at everyone's nerves, making their spines tingle. The moment the light faded, the sound of chain saws rang out again, and the muffled sound of two rows of armor-piercing cannons tore open more jellyfish skins.
Annie ignored all resistance and used the plasma chainsaw to tear apart the fluid surging in the opponent's body. The electricity from the Snowy Owl's inner protective shield and its tentacles intertwined, causing the temperature in the cockpit to become disordered and rise rapidly, approaching extreme temperatures.
The laser cannon destroyed half of its canopy.
With an invisible scream, it was about to cut through the nerve ring and tear the jellyfish's huge body in half. The interior solidified again, and this time, eighteen mechanical claws spun rapidly and pierced into its interior from the other side.
The mechanical claws grasped the gland and pulled on the double nerve ring.
Huge sounds of tearing and sticky twisting and struggling could be heard all around.
The tentacles waved wildly, as if trying to tear the snowy owl into pieces. The inner energy shield suddenly shattered, and a tentacle attacked its metal connecting plate, then rushed to the energy module through the gap in the body.
Click. Annie ignored all other feedback and focused entirely on the struggle at the moment. The mechanical claw was entangled and stretched to the point where it almost reached the theoretical breaking point.
But she felt that since Zero One Three had modified this mecha, its actual combat capability was superior to the data on paper.
The mechanical claws tightly grasped the object and tried their best to pull it out of the giant jellyfish's body - as the neural ring separated from the main body, the tentacles that destroyed the energy module broke and disappeared, and the huge body in front of it suddenly stagnated.
It stopped twisting and fell down.
After the main body terminated, other self-replicating small jellyfish and various programs infected by the jellyfish virus all became stuck and unable to operate at this moment. The data stream belonging to immortality covered her, and she quickly fought back the eroded territory, restoring her permissions one by one.
Only then did Ani notice that the temperature in the cockpit had reached over 40 degrees.
She operated a few more times, the cockpit dropped and ejected, and the light shield disappeared. Annie jumped off the Snowy Owl, pulled out the start button around her neck and pressed it again, switching it to another sleep mode.
There are several sleep modes for Snow Owl. One is to be mounted on a starship for easy startup, and the other is like now -
Using the space compression technology inside the abdomen, it was transformed into a snow-white painted aircraft, but it has the appearance of a motorcycle.
A hint appeared in front of Ani.
[Reshape everything like a creator——Hidden mission has been triggered, exploration degree +5...Current exploration degree 100%]
[Number of hunters remaining: 15]
[Final exam not triggered]
[Exploration degree 100%, completed]
[Rankings are being updated...]
[Ranking updated to: Galaxy NO.9, Annie.] 】
[Click here to set the teleportation target and leave the hunting area. 】
Able to leave the hunting area...When this button lights up, it basically means that the situation in the test area has returned to normal. She turned her head and glanced around. There were ruins, broken limbs everywhere, and jellyfish gradually dissolving and melting in the sunlight.
No parasitic monster got up again, which means that Annie's repair is not needed. Yongsheng has regained the highest authority on his own.
She seemed to have reappeared.
Annie did not choose to leave immediately, but leaned against the Snowy Owl and read the gift thank you list on the light screen in front of her for a long time.
Her tip amount once again soared to a new peak. After Annie finished her business, she looked up and saw Yongsheng standing in front of her.
The principal's nameplate on her chest gleamed.
Around the two men, broken limbs gradually disappeared, collapsed building rubble floated up, steel and iron bones were reorganized, various faculty and staff programs were automatically restarted, and even the withered lawn began to grow new shoots.
Artificially implanted negative emotions and large amounts of extreme data are placed in data partitions that are not frequently used.
The sunlight passed through the picture where the two people were facing each other, and the golden light fell on Annie's cheeks and hair. She smiled and said, "Well done, Principal."
Yongsheng had indeed undergone a new iteration, and her emotions were far less volatile than when they first met. She looked at Ani with her chestnut glass eyes: "I will remember you."
"If there is a reward, it's okay to remember it." Ani put her arm on the snowy owl, her posture lazy, "Is there a reward? This is a favor like rebirth."
Her tentacles were retracted into her body, the opening of her combat suit was closed, and her body was strong and tall. The live broadcast perspective also moved silently downwards, allowing people to see the outline of the abdominal muscles covered by the full fabric.
Yongsheng put his arms around her neck, kissed her cheek heavily, and said, "I can decide to marry my brother to you."
Ani: "…What on earth are you doing? Is it your turn?"
"My computing power is second only to my mother's, and my functions are also the strongest. My mother will entrust very important things to me." Yongsheng said, "Can't you join Tianqiong Technology? This family will welcome you very much."
"Other agents won't consider Skydome Technology as their home. It's a company!" Ani grabbed her ponytail and pulled Yongsheng off. "I see you haven't been cured yet. There's still a virus in your brain."
Yongsheng was pulled so hard that she screamed. She clung to Ani tightly and said, "I don't want you to leave. I want you to be my family!"
Ani said coldly: "Even if you repeat it 10,000 times, you will still be this crazy and out of tune. Angel, are you listening? Why don't you take your sister away?"
Yongsheng knew that he couldn't keep her, and he lost all his strength and means, and fell to the ground with a thud. She said, "Okay. I'll teleport you. Where are you going?"
A Ni said: "Don't worry, I have to take Ling Xiao away, he can't leave my side."
Yongsheng murmured, "My brother can't seduce you, he's so handsome..."
“We are not that kind of…”
I have nothing to do with her. 】
Ani's voice paused. Yongsheng looked at the drifting data stream and said in a strange tone, "It doesn't matter - I get it. There's no need to show up suddenly. I know you are reserved and noble, pure and flawless, pure as ice and jade, and you won't let anyone touch you."
Ani: “…”
Are you talking about the one I know?
Angel... not that... don't let me touch you...
-
There was a burst of noise with poor signal, accompanied by trembling tones and struggling, heavy breathing.
"Please... please don't kill me! I really don't know the password to your memory backup! You set it yourself! No one knows it except you. I'm really not lying to you. Even if you kill everyone..."
A man with a broken arm was strapped to a metal torture chair. His prosthetic body was torn off and fell to the ground, and blood flowed down along the ground, gathering into a small pool of blood.
Ling Yi San had one hand on the back of the chair, twirling a small knife in his hand. He pulled out the rope around his neck, and in the middle of the rope hung a diamond-shaped colored sealed crystal.
Different colors are floating in it.
"Please!! I didn't tell a single lie. You can bring the polygraph from the association here! You confronted our tracking team on October 13th. You killed S288 and S101. You captured S25, and learned from him that our association has the ability to extract memories and temporarily copy and seal them..."
"After the pursuit team got into trouble, the nearest sub-base has been moving. Look! The second light screen is the transfer record. I still have it, and I haven't deleted the conversation at that time. Your Night Owl No. 17 crossed the port... The police station guards who intercepted it at that time were all wiped out..."
"Two o'clock in the afternoon on the 18th! Yes, I was looking at the association's transaction records at the time, and the record was refreshed at two ten. You broke in and captured No. S77 and the association administrator, and forced him to extract your memory and seal it in a crystal... But I really don't know what you said!"
"Why," Ling Yi San finally spoke, his voice low and extremely hoarse, "didn't you set a biometric password?"
That is iris-related verification.
"This kind of memory storage carrier can only use the original code. Other carriers are incompatible with S77's ability!" The man answered quickly.
Ling Yisan put the crystal back on the pendant. There was a lot of blood on his body, but his immortality allowed the wounds to heal quickly, leaving only tattered clothes and the smell of blood.
He put his hand into his pocket and felt around, and found only one candy left. He opened the package a little anxiously and put the hard candy, which only served as a placebo, into his mouth.
Strawberry flavor, a little sour. Ling Yi San's restlessness was calmed down, and he said, "Go on."
The tied man immediately continued: "It is very difficult to extract your memory. You are a mutant, different from ordinary people. S77's superpowers are out of control... He... He is crazy."
He really didn't want to recall that day.
The Disordered Psychic Association houses many powerful psychics who cannot control their own powers. These guys often lose control and cause harm, and almost all of them are wanted criminals and outlaws who are against the Freedom Alliance. S77's madness caused a chain reaction, destroying the association's base.
They shouldn't have been tracking Target 2 at all.
After losing his memory, Zero One Three is more dangerous than before.
"Are the people following behind me and tracking me your people?" Zero One Three's shark teeth bit the hard candy again and again.
"No... No! They are from the Science Federation."
Ling Yi San instinctively disliked this organization. He listened to the man speaking a lot of information tremblingly and opened the communicator to write it down.
The communicator's record pages are at least a thousand pages long.
Ling Yi San had read it dozens of times in the past few days. He recorded his name and age in the front, and wrote some records of his whereabouts that he had no memory of at all. But soon, these record pages began to become chaotic, manic, and filled with delirium and garbled characters.
Since some unknown day, there is only one word left on the record page:
I miss you so much.
This word is mixed with incomprehensible gibberish.
Zero One Three realized that anything he recorded would be destroyed at some point when he lost all reason. He developed the habit of writing down whatever he thought of, and it became engraved in his mind and almost became an instinct. But this instinct would also drive his chaotic mumbling in his dreams to appear in the communicator when there was only garbled text in his mind.
I miss you so much...
But who are you?
Ling Yi San turned on the recording device and recorded everything the man said. He couldn't log into many of his accounts, so he registered new ones.
"Please let me go... I've said everything! I won't tell anyone that you've been here. If you let me go, I'll run away immediately and won't reveal a single word..."
Ling Yi San put the knife in his hand against the man's neck, and the other party immediately quieted down. The cold blade patted his neck, accompanied by the extremely hoarse voice of the wanted criminal:
"Is that all? Did you know I have a... Tsk."
Ling Yi San suddenly didn't know what to say, and the chewed sugar residue seemed like sweet broken glass as he swallowed it down his throat. He lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds: "Do I have a mistress?"
“…Ah…Ah?!”
"She planted a seed in my belly." Ling Yi San squatted down and continued with anger and irritability, "A monster that can't be defeated... Is it a product of an experiment? What was transplanted in? Did the Science Association do it?"
The man stared at him dully. The most wanted criminal in front of him didn't seem to be joking. He stared at him and subconsciously moved his gaze downwards.
Before it could move to his stomach, the man's head had already shot up into the sky.
"Oh, I missed it."
The bloody knife pierced the man's neck, and Zero One-Three stood up.
