Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1285: Chapter 1284: This Burn Feels Awesome!

The method of invasion was very peculiar, but not particularly difficult for Fang Zheng to handle. So, Fang Zheng immediately abandoned his infiltration of the U.S. Department of Defense’s intelligence network and started searching for the source of the mysterious signal, quietly launching a counter-invasion.

”What are you doing, big brother?”

Seeing Fang Zheng tapping away in front of his personal terminal, Ayaka and Aika curiously moved closer, watching the swiftly flashing symbols on the screen.

”I’m catching a thief.”

Fang Zheng cheerfully replied while typing on the keyboard, and the two girls exchanged puzzled glances.

”Catching a thief?”

”Yes, something is invading the network, and I want to find out their true form... Got it!”

With that, Fang Zheng suddenly hit the enter key, and the next moment, the two girls were shocked to see the characters on the personal terminal rapidly flash by, followed by a series of strange texts. They looked like letters, but were unlike any language the two recognized, and among these symbols was a strange emblem.

”Decepticons!”

Seeing this, Fang Zheng triumphantly slapped his thigh. He finally knew what he was going to burn this time. When mentioning Decepticons, one thinks of Megatron, and from Megatron to Optimus Prime, and from Optimus Prime to Autobots, and from Autobots to Cybertron, and from Cybertron to Fire Seed... isn’t it obvious?

The Fire Seed is meant to be burned!

Fang Zheng mused that burning a Transformer... oh my, he can actually burn a Transformer?

Isn’t this exciting?

”Master? What is a Decepticon? A type of tiger? Is it a Fantasy Species?”

If this were in the Type Moon World, Aika would quickly grasp what Fang Zheng was talking about, but in this world, the Type Moon World was of no help. In fact, even the Origin wouldn’t help if you tried to explain silicon-based life to it—it probably wouldn’t understand what that was at all.

”Decepticons are a type of Transformers. Simply put, they are intelligent, shapeshifting mechanical life forms.”

”Intelligent mechanical life forms?”

Hearing this, Aika’s eyes shone with curiosity.

”Are they similar to constructs?”

”Somewhat similar, but not quite the same... or rather, they are actually quite alike... though I’m not entirely sure myself. When the time comes, we’ll catch one for you to study.”

”Of course, Master.”

Upon hearing this, Aika looked quite eager.

”Shall we go now?”

”Let me think... we need a plan. These Transformers aren’t that easy to spot...”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng opened his personal terminal again. Unfortunately, it seemed the other party realized something was wrong, and the entire network was cut off. Naturally, the Transformer’s network intrusion couldn’t be traced either. However... Fang Zheng didn’t mind, after all, waiting by the tree is often more fruitful than searching the vast sea.

As long as he got what the Transformers wanted, he wouldn’t have to worry about them not coming to find him.

And what do the Transformers want?

The Fire Seed, of course.

Where is the Fire Seed?

Fang Zheng had watched the movie!

But before that...

”Since we’re in America, how about taking a trip to Disneyland?”

”Disneyland...”

Hearing this, Ayaka was almost drooling. As a child of a mage family, she rarely ventured outside. Even attending school was only possible after persistent requests to her father. Often, she had to feign illness to excuse herself for magic studies.

In such circumstances, a family outing seemed like an unreachable dream to Ayaka. But now, the dream was coming true!

Ayaka showed great interest in Fang Zheng’s invitation, and although Aika wasn’t as interested, perhaps due to being in a new world, she didn’t oppose the idea. So Fang Zheng took them on a trip to Disneyland, observing the girls’ reactions in the process.

Ayaka’s reactions were typical for a child; she fully immersed herself in the rides, like the roller coaster, and displayed expressions befitting her age. Aika, however, constantly wore an elegant smile, appearing indifferent to everything... or rather, for Aika, it was like watching a simple puppet show, interesting, but only ”slightly” interesting.

This was understandable, as being connected to the Origin, Aika was familiar with most things in the world. Only those she had never seen or heard of could pique her interest.

Fang Zheng knew what to do next.

After a day at Disneyland, when Fang Zheng returned to the room with the two, Ayaka had already fallen into a deep sleep. After tucking her in, Fang Zheng looked at Aika.

”This child has played enough. Now it’s our turn.”

”Okay, Master.”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s words, Aika quickly ran to his side, smiling and grabbing his hand. Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the two disappeared from the Five-Star room.

When they reappeared, they were in a cold warehouse with dim cement floors everywhere, and armed soldiers standing guard. Besides, many researchers in white lab coats were busily moving around.

”What is this place, Master?”

Aika curiously looked around the sci-fi-filled building, showing a hint of excitement. After all, it was her first time seeing such a thing.

”This is a secret research base. We are here to retrieve something hidden within.”

Fang Zheng paused, then looked at Aika.

”Aika, I have a task for you.”

”What task?”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s inquiry, Aika quickly turned to him, looking expectantly.

”I want to take something from here without anyone noticing; how would you do it?”

Fang Zheng smiled as he posed the question to the girl in front of him.
