Chapter 146: #146 - The butcher knife is raised [asking for a monthly ticket]

Eh? Never fought before?

Shen Hai was a little stunned as he lay on the ground.

He勉强抬头看向前方,能看到菱童和万姐那同款错愕的表情.

Wang Ji Xuan sat on Shen Hai's back, his left hand's sword fingers pointing at the back of Shen Hai's head. Shen Hai's whole body couldn't muster any strength, only his mechanical arm could barely grab backwards.

"Brother Shen Hai, calm down."

Daoist Wang said quickly:

"I admit I'm also responsible for how things have developed. I didn't expect a sub-King-level Pterosaur to suddenly appear and disrupt the plan.

"But I didn't stuff the Red Serpent's soul into the crystal core. It was the mechanism inherent in the Blade Beast's crystal core.

"I'll try my best to help you in the future... Well, there's still a chance for you to live a normal married life... Maybe the definition of 'normal' is a bit broad, after all, the essence of the species has changed, but the size should be compensable..."

Shen Hai's resolute face was full of black lines.

Ling Tong and Wan Jie raised their hands to their foreheads in unison.

Wan Jie scolded with a smile, "You're better off not explaining."

Daoist Wang laughed awkwardly, "Brother Shen Hai, you won't hit me, right?"

"Let me up! I won't hit you!"

"That's good."

Wang Ji Xuan lightly bounced backwards, landing steadily three meters away, retreating behind the little maid.

Shen Hai covered the back of his head and climbed up, frowning as he looked at Wang Ji Xuan.

Mu Dan had already prepared to protect her superior.

Shen Hai hesitated, not wanting to discuss this somewhat embarrassing topic, and instead asked:

"Just now... although I didn't use much energy, how did you restrain me just now?"

"This is a weak area that all half-human mechs have."

Daoist Wang shrugged:

"I took the opportunity to study it a little while giving Ling Tong a massage. Although half-human mechs have been comprehensively modified, they also have many weaknesses.

"Powerful mechanical parts, generally strengthened body parts, fragile brain and soul.

"Don't worry, we're not enemies."

Ling Tong nodded with her hands behind her back, "I feel a little offended."

"How long until we reach the General Command?" Wang Ji Xuan asked.

"Because we need to travel secretly, it will take about two and a half hours."

"Then I'll give you two a spiritual energy massage!"

Wang Ji Xuan's ten fingers deftly scratched:

"By the way, let's talk about what to do next... Wan Jie, help me prepare a set of Uncle Tai's clothes, and get me a nano mask, adjusted to look like Uncle Tai."

Wan Jie made an [OK] gesture.

Ling Tong controlled the mechanical dog to bring over two folding chairs.

She hadn't been able to enjoy this kind of service for more than half a month, and the connection between the machine and her body was starting to ache faintly again.

Shortly after.

Wang Ji Xuan sat behind Ling Tong and Shen Hai, using his left and right hands independently to press on their heads.

Wan Jie placed a projection screen in front of the three of them, briefly introducing the development progress of the 'biological mech' and the project they were researching—how to equip the Red Serpent, codenamed 'Thorn Spear,' with a technological weapon system.

The Blade Beast's powerful physical qualities, super-strong resistance to mental shock, combined with human technological firepower...

No one dares to assert what level of combat power the Red Serpent will reach in the future.

It may be that one plus one is greater than two, or it may be that one plus one is less than one.

Wan Jie said quickly:

"Fortress 82 in the Middle Ancient Basin has become the center of the vortex, with a constant stream of Mimic Blade Beasts surrounding it from all directions.

"We've already opened a backup fortress and transferred ninety percent of the residents there. We've successfully started the ecological cycle, so even if Fortress 82 becomes quiet later, it should be used as a military logistics fortress or resource reserve.

"The Blade Beasts are frantically searching for you."

Ling Tong added, "The Blade Beasts shouldn't be able to mark you now. We suspect that you were marked this time because of the negotiations with the Mimic Blade Beasts."

Wang Ji Xuan asked, "How's the brain-eating worm detection going?"

"Over the past half month, we've completed the inspection of the main industrial population of most of the fortresses. Three batches of deep brain scanning equipment have been produced, and there will be a second and third screening later."

The corners of Wan Jie's mouth curled into a slight smile:

"Now we can basically confirm that a major reason why the Blade Beasts became angry and forcibly attacked us is that the brain-eating worms were discovered.

"Their plan to monitor humans has been declared a failure.

"All major war zones, including the Spiritual Energy Capital, are conducting inspections, and are also taking the opportunity to make an issue of it.

"According to incomplete statistics, the influence of the Spiritual Energy Capital on the major war zones has decreased by at least thirty percent. Due to the D5 war zone's crazy criticism of the Spiritual Energy Capital, the emergence of the ruling faction representative Spirit Control Council, and the Spiritual Energy Capital's indifference to the D5 Blade Beast tide, a trend of liquidating Spiritual Energy practitioners has begun to emerge in human civilization.

"We should be able to see a good show when we go to the General Command this time."

"What do you mean by a good show?" Wang Ji Xuan asked, puzzled.

Wan Jie said, "We're going to publicly destroy a portion of the crystal cores, thereby announcing to the outside world that we've destroyed 400,000 crystal cores in order to store high-quality crystal cores and reserve materials for Teacher Wang's spiritual energy research. By the way, we'll also achieve some political goals."

Destroy a portion of the crystal cores? And then say they've all been destroyed?

Wang Ji Xuan's eyes lit up, but then he felt a little regretful.

Using this method to obtain a large number of crystal cores is certainly a good thing, but those destroyed crystal cores contain a massive amount of spiritual energy!

"When will the destruction take place?"

"Probably within a week? We also need to use this matter to confront the Spiritual Energy Capital."

"Good!" Wang Ji Xuan nodded vigorously, "Be sure to arrange for me to do the destruction work then!"

Wan Jie was stunned. Although she didn't understand, she quickly wrote [Wang's Request] into the memo.

Ling Tong asked, "The materials you wanted me to collect, I've almost collected them. Do you need to use them now?"

"So fast? Didn't you say to collect them secretly?"

"Oh my!"

Wan Jie chuckled, "Our dear commander is running around, flying three thousand kilometers a day, and even directly entering the mine to collect them..."

Ling Tong said simply, "Wan Jie will fly the plane."

"Yes, ma'am," Wan Jie quickly slipped away.

"Thanks," Wang Ji Xuan placed his palm on Ling Tong's back, injecting a trace of cool aura along her mechanical spine.

Ling Tong closed her eyes comfortably, a look of peace and relaxation on her pretty face.

Shen Hai, who was still having his scalp pressed, frowned and pursed his lips again, not knowing how to complain for a moment.

—In fact, Shen Hai had been fighting for a long time, and his brain was too congested, so Daoist Wang was focusing on helping him resolve it.

Favoritism is not the behavior of an upright cultivator.

...

These twelve senior officers were involved in various aspects of the D5 war zone, including war command, local war zone supervision, logistics, half-human mech units, and technology development.

They were all Fu Jian's right-hand men.

However, the specific details of the 'connection between Spiritual Energy practitioners and the Black Storm' and the 'human-blade negotiations' that took place outside Fortress 82 were only known to Fu Jian and these twelve people.

The six elders of the Spiritual Energy Capital learned the details of the negotiations and accidentally 'revealed' them at a meeting within the ruling faction.

Doesn't this clearly show that there's a mole among these twelve D5 veteran generals?

Fu Jian's mood was extremely tormented, but the old marshal had seen too much and would not be swayed by personal emotions. His order to Wang Ji Xuan was also very decisive: find a mole and eliminate one, even if it meant killing half of the twelve, he would never tolerate it.

D5 has a rich reserve of military talent and can find deputies to replace them at any time.

Of course, Fu Jian also asked Wan Jie to express some other views.

Those with minor mistakes who have not betrayed their basic stance will not be pursued;

Those who have violated the law during peacetime and whose subjective fault is obvious but does not cause losses to more than one person, and who have not betrayed their basic stance, will be warned or retired early;

Those who have not betrayed their basic stance but whose sins are too great will be subject to separate investigations.

If Daoist Wang had just arrived in this mortal world, he probably wouldn't have cared about the rules and regulations that Fu Jian had set up, and would have directly pinched the other party's soul if he didn't like it.

But now, he has changed his mind somewhat.

This time, he only wanted to do what he could do, search souls, examine memories, find the mole, and truthfully fill in the points of wrongdoing in the memories of these twelve senior generals.

How Fu Jian handles it is none of his business.

"By the way," Ling Tong asked, "The materials you wanted me to collect, I've almost collected them. Do you need to use them now?"

"So fast? Didn't you say to collect them secretly?"

"Oh dear!"

Wan Jie chuckled beside her, "Our dear commander is running around, flying three thousand kilometers a day, and even directly entering the mine to collect them..."

Ling Tong said simply, "Wan Jie will fly the plane."

"Yes, ma'am," Wan Jie quickly slipped away.

"Thanks," Wang Ji Xuan placed his palm on Ling Tong's back, injecting a trace of cool aura along her mechanical spine.

Ling Tong closed her eyes comfortably, a look of peace and relaxation on her pretty face.

Shen Hai, who was still having his scalp pressed, frowned and pursed his lips again, not knowing how to complain for a moment.

Greed for beauty and neglect of friends is not the behavior of an orthodox cultivator.

...

Among these twelve senior officers, Wang Ji Xuan found a very familiar name.

Black Shell, the identity Fu Jian used to impersonate, Ling Tong's biological grandfather, also a second-generation half-human mech, a meritorious combat hero, and the retired pilot of a terrifying mech.

'Then let's start with him.'

Wang Ji Xuan muttered to himself:

'This old general should be the most trusted by Little Fu. The probability of betrayal is extremely low. Starting with him can also give Little Fu a reassuring pill.'

"By the way," Ling Tong asked, "The materials you wanted me to collect, I've almost collected them. Do you need to use them now?"

When the transport plane arrived at the airport near the General Headquarters, Wang Jixuan had already completed his disguise, putting on a white coat with a gray maintenance uniform underneath.

Ling Tong personally applied a nano-mask for him. The mask adjusted itself, displaying the face of Uncle Tai.

"Not bad."

Daoist Wang stroked his chin.

Ling Tong had already changed into camouflage military uniform, her slender figure proudly erect, and the ponytail had also removed unnecessary decorations.

"How long will it take to complete?" Ling Tong asked softly.

"A few hours at most," Wang Jixuan said, "Do you want me to meet the Commander-in-Chief?"

"Try not to. Senior engineers are not qualified to directly meet the Commander-in-Chief. Is there anything you need to convey?"

"It's nothing. I just feel that since I'm on his turf, I should say hello."

Wang Jixuan gently closed his eyes, and his spiritual consciousness slowly spread out. With him as the center and a radius of one kilometer, the situation in various places appeared in his mind.

Tsk tsk, it's so refreshing not having an isolation array against spiritual consciousness!

The airport was still some distance away from the urban area where the General Headquarters was located. Wang Jixuan had already glimpsed the tip of the iceberg…

The tip of the iceberg of a super-large underground fortress!

The General Headquarters was built on a cliff that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the surface, it only looked like a 'simple' urban area with a few iconic reinforced concrete buildings.

The average altitude here was more than 1,000 meters, with steep cliffs on both sides.

However, the entire cliff had been hollowed out, and inside was a super firepower fortress, with extremely precise mechanical structures visible everywhere.

Wang Jixuan's spiritual consciousness swept over, and the initially discovered gun barrels, missile silos, and ejection racks were as many as…

Completely uncountable!

If he stood on the edge of the cliff and looked out, he could also see one 'meteor crater' after another in the desert directly ahead.

That was proof that there had been more than a dozen world-shaking battles here!

Below the super firepower fortress, Wang Jixuan could vaguely see a huge underground city. Fortress No. 76 was completely like a county town compared to the capital here.

'Only the appearance of a Pillar-level Blade Beast would have hope of breaking through here, right?'

Wang Jixuan retracted his spiritual consciousness and didn't look too much, lest he be tempted to cultivate here.

'However, I still hope there won't be any war here.'

An off-road vehicle drove out of the back door of the transport plane. Ling Tong, wearing a military uniform, Shenhai, Mudan, along with Sister Wan and 'Uncle Tai', headed to the D5 Command Building together.

Their reason for coming here was very perfect—to give a simple report on the research and development of bio-mechas and apply for more research resources.

In addition, Fu Jian had also issued a notice a day in advance:

【The new instrument for searching for Brain-Eating Worms has passed the most stringent tests. Senior officers of the General Headquarters will undergo a second screening in advance. Please enter the corresponding medical room to receive a scan according to the notice you receive later.】

Fu Jian had already paved the stage for Wang Jixuan's next performance.

There was still a considerable distance from the airport to the General Headquarters. Wang Jixuan was bored, so he took a piece of paper and began to scribble on it.

Ling Tong tilted her head and asked, "What are you drawing?"

"Flying swords, the coolest weapon."

"Then why is there a glass bead next to the sword?"

"This is not a glass bead," Daoist Wang said with a smile, "This is another form of the flying sword. The precious materials I asked you to collect are for making it."

Ling Tong whispered, "Actually, the Ling Sword is already very useful. You don't need to put in too much effort. We mainly rely on the Destruction Cannon to fight."

"This is for my own use."

Wang Jixuan said casually, but he regretted it as soon as the words came out.

The statement was a bit too straightforward.

He immediately changed the subject: "Isn't Red Serpent going to make a mecha exoskeleton?"

"Yes," Ling Tong nodded lightly, "Our current idea is to install a super-sized X-Armor on it, which can greatly enhance its mobility and defense capabilities."

"That's great," Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "When the materials are sufficient in the future, and I have the ability, I will also make a spear for it that can draw its own spiritual energy, so that it can challenge King-level Blade Beasts."

"This idea is great. I'll have Sister Wan record it immediately."

Wang Jixuan reminded, "Please pay the patent fee with the crystal core of the King-level Blade Beast."

Several people and a mechanical maid smiled at each other.

The corners of Ling Tong's mouth outlined a beautiful arc.

The checkpoint was approaching. Wang Jixuan gestured to Ling Tong, infused his throat with Qi to adjust his voice, and turned around to start talking to Sister Wan about the research work of bio-mechas.

The super fortress was still asleep in the early morning;

And the butcher knife of cultivation had arrived.
