Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 677: Chapter 202: The Same Kind of People

If there’s a ranking of ’entrepreneurs’ assassinated in this corporate war, then ’Ms. Ye’ would undoubtedly take first place by a margin of ten times over the second place.

Everyone knows her superpower is a bug.

But the mutant possessing this superpower is also unique.

The simplest method to win this war is to eliminate her.

Do not underestimate the corporations participating in the corporate war.

At least nuclear bombs are handed out like candy. If they find a target, a barrage of high-risk large-scale weapons attack without expense sparing. It’s completely worthwhile even if ten Mechanical Cities are destroyed to deal with her.

The reason why the battle at the Mechanical City ruins, where Gao Gong teleported earlier, was so fierce, was largely because ’Ms. Ye’ showed up there and was discovered by business spies.

Three super mercenary legions fought desperately.

The final battle destroyed five Tier 3 civilization-level weapons, and the battle was beyond brutal.

Thus, ’Ms. Ye’s constant relocation became a crucial mission for the Du Gao Group.

Her location is classified as top-level secret that even Holy Brain Group’s high-level members don’t know.

However, someone does know very well.

So he came.

A flash of purple radiance passed through Gao Gong’s eyes, and in an instant, countless spatial bubbles squeezed out from the formless, with the largest bubble about to fully unfold into ’Purple String Space’; yet in the next moment, another powerful spiritual force suddenly invaded, transforming into boundless Black Tide, flooding the entire space.

”Eh?”

Gao Gong frowned slightly. Isn’t it known that I’m the big boss here?

By the way, what’s with this formidable spiritual power?

In his perception, the entire continent was enveloped by an immense spiritual force, banning any instant teleportation, sudden bursts, transformation, and morphing skills.

The effect was terribly potent.

[You are covered by ’SS-level Psychic Field’, sealing off spiritual system and virtual system skills]

Shit, I can’t even access the net! This Dark Lolita is so damn domineering.

Gao Gong merely grumbled without much resentment; he is prone to passive reactions. Sister Rose, however, doesn’t like it; she’s naturally strong and, seeing Gao Gong’s abilities locked, her expression chilled, she stepped forward.

”You proceed, I want to see who dares to stop you.”

”Alright then.”

In the next instant, the Purple String Space and overwhelming Black Tide appeared simultaneously. Yet this time, Black Rose took the lead, physically entering the Black Tide, allowing Gao Gong’s ’instant movement’ to have no further obstacles.

He didn’t tell many people this time, as the more people know, the more danger it brings.

In a room next to ’Ms. Ye’, a mechanical girl holding a large sword suddenly opened her eyes. Countless sword lights replicated and overlapped in front of her, finally forming a space-thin blade tens of meters long, tearing through the space parameters and reaching the intruder’s throat.

During this time, Xiao Yu has killed at least a dozen business assassins, none able to retreat under her sword lighting.

This time was no exception, as Gao Gong simply walked past.

When Xiao Yu’s blade flickered at his throat, it was pulled back with a backhand, replaced by a surprised voice.

”Boss!!!”

The girl leapt up like a baby kangaroo, bouncing and landing directly on him.

”Ah, long time no see, you’ve gained quite some weight,” Gao Gong responded with a playful head pat, smiling as he spoke.

”Nonsense, Boss, my new mechanical body uses new alloy material, only 383 kg,” Xiao Yu seriously corrected, finally aware of ’beauty’ after over a year apart.

”Your sword, it’s the Martial God Blade, isn’t it.”

Looking at the Ship-Slaying Sword stuck in the ground, its misty flow giving the apparent feeling of a roaring soul, Gao Gong couldn’t help but gripe internally.

Why does even a subordinate have better gear than me?

The Martial God Blade, or the Martial God series equipment, is top-tier Tier 2 Black Technology, crafted only with super technology, stronger even than general Tier 3 equipment.

”Yes, I named it after Boss,” Xiao Yu said sweetly. ”Boss is called Mr. G, this is Little GG; it’s the same model as Boss. Holding it feels like Boss is with me.”

”...”

Gao Gong actually found it hard to respond and fell silent for a while, then asked, ”What do your colleagues say about this sword’s name?”

”Sister Lii and Sister Chunzi said the name’s very fitting, perfectly matching me and Boss you!”

Nonsense, careful I accuse you of slander; these female drivers practically corrupt the kiddos.

Gao Gong brushed aside her hair revealing her smooth forehead; the prominent sword-shaped pattern there stood out, a quick investigation confirming it was a question mark.

”Have you developed it to such an extent,” Gao Gong muttered, then stared into her pupils: ”Do you remember the things your old man told you?”

Xiao Yu hesitated briefly, then nodded.

Earth Crust Engine, Xiao Family, Civilizations’ secret research, Super Code.

Though she understood only half, she remembers every word by heart.

”I came over this time to resolve this matter, come with me; the Xiao Family’s karma is yours to handle.”

Xiao Yu pursed her lips, wanting to nod, but hesitated before finally shaking her head.

”No, Boss, I still need to protect Little Ye. If I’m not there, she’ll be in danger.”

”No, Boss, I feel Little Ye is angry. I need to go out!”

Xiao Yu pulled out the Ship-Slaying Sword, terrifying momentum once again exploded from the opponent’s frail body. The aura from the fusion of human and blade even exceeded the Secondary Carbon Fusion Black Python. The golden light on Gao Gong’s body was stimulated and directly transformed into streaming light, flowing into her body, making Xiao Yu’s battle-desire-filled eyes brighten.

”Boss—”

”As expected, you are half ’Black Prince’,” Gao Gong nodded and then shook his head, ”When I came, I knew you wouldn’t agree. So let’s talk with that Ms. Ye.”

...

And at the intersection of virtual and reality, in the vast spiritual world that covered the entire continent.

’Ms. Ye’ looked seriously at the visitor, the purple light on Black Rose, though thin, firmly held the Black Tide at bay. Moreover, the Black Tide was continually ’dissolved’, revealing faces that seemed facially different but had identical temperament.

Black Rose stepped on these faces, crossed the black tide, and the computational power formed by tens of billions of electronic brains did not cause her hem to flutter even slightly.

She chuckled lightly and said:

”You’ve mastered an immeasurable spiritual power, but you must use ninety percent of your energy to suppress them.”

”Moreover, without conversion equipment, purely absorbing ’brainwaves’, you can genuinely harness only one-tenth of the spiritual power.”

”But even one percent of spiritual power on this planet is considered top-tier.”

Black Rose paused her speech, treading upon the human face steps, moving effortlessly, resolving wave after wave of Black Tide.

”Yet, using it against me is still lacking considerable skill.”

Seeing this mysteriously dangerous woman about to reach her, ’Ms. Ye’s face changed, her palm flipped over, and at the next moment, the spiritual black tide surged back, forming a solid black wall before her.

The strength of this black wall even exceeded some super metals.

Yet, her face bore a trace of bitterness.

This was probably her first setback since the Electronic Brain Plan.

”Why is my ability ineffective against you?”

Black Rose stopped before the black wall resembling a gigantic barrier, gently stroked her palm.

”Because you are merely borrowing human spiritual power, not the primary controller. One person, a hundred people, a million people resisting you, you may easily suppress.”

As Sister Rose’s palm brushed over, pale faces emerged on the wall capable of defending against nuclear bombs.

”However, when facing special groups like Bionic Men, this tactic is useless because their will is both artificially produced and controlled.”

The faces multiplied, mouths opened and closed uncertainly.

Ultimately, countless ’crackling’ sounds simultaneously rang out, the whole black wall collapsed violently, turning into countless broken faces.

The opponent’s voice sounded like a nightmare.

”And coincidentally, on this planet, over 3 billion Bionic Men exist, whose supreme will is controlled by six super bionic corporations.”

”And I control half of them.”

Black Rose touched the girl’s cracked face with a grin and said:

”Do you still want to continue?”

’Ms. Ye’ was silent for a moment, a determined look flashed in her pupil-like shattered glass beads.

”I don’t trust anyone. I only trust myself!”

At the next moment, the girl’s skin gained a dozen new cuts, while the old ones also began to seep blood. Affected by this, her spiritual power unexpectedly surpassed the limit, reaching a higher level.

Because of this, the shattered faces on the ground began to melt.

Black Rose’s skin also started to melt.

Black Rose’s smile gradually disappeared, her face returned to genuine coldness.

She has always been a person of indifference, and when she showed this face, it meant she was truly on the brink of killing.

”Little brat, reckless!”

A breeze blew from an unknown direction, swept away Black Rose’s eye-covering red hair, revealing a pupil full of destructive intent.

At this moment, Xiao Yu’s voice and Gao Gong’s voice nearly sounded simultaneously.

”Little Ye, my boss and I came to see you. I’ll treat you to a lollipop, don’t be mad. She’s my boss’s boss, not very temperamental, but what can we do, being workers ourselves.”

”Sister Rose, put away your Divine Power, if this fight continues, who’ll demand the remaining payments from our group? It’s tough to find a reliable client these days!”

Strangely enough, a girl with strong self-destructive desires and a woman with world-ending ambitions exchanged a glance, and surprisingly both retracted their abilities.

The more insane people are, the more they value their anchor points of humanity.

And for them, he (she) is their anchor point, the reason they won’t completely go mad.

”Clean things up a bit.”

Black Rose’s tone was cold, lightly pointed her finger, and at the next moment, the blood from the opponent’s skin cracks disappeared, and then at least half of the cracks under the Metabolism Queen’s power healed up.

Dark Lolita once again glanced at the opponent, this time with a trace of recognition in her eyes.

They are of the same kind.
