Legend of the Cyber Heroes
Chapter 179 - 179 99 Life is Like a Play

179: Chapter 99: Life is Like a Play 179: Chapter 99: Life is Like a Play While His Excellency Ashur was scolding Bengel, the envoy from the Six Dragons Sect once again felt a strong intention from “himself.”

“Make some noise, help another hero, or pretend to inadvertently steal the Sonicon Blade.”

His Excellency Ashur being back online indicated that the local network had gradually been restored.

The intelligent systems, although crashed due to the EMP bomb, had not been completely destroyed and were gradually coming back online, offering new services.

The Holy Knight finally found a route and returned here as well.

“However, that unknown expert had reconnected faster than the commander?

He had come back online earlier.”

“Is that person local?”

The envoy from the Six Dragons stood up.

Due to the successive explosions in the floors below, which drained the surrounding forces, only essential troops were left here to suppress him, so he hadn’t been chased for a few seconds.

This also allowed him to cool down slowly while contemplating his next strategy.

“As time goes by, signal command is gradually restored.

But if they activate the ‘Igni Seal’ to let King Aqini remotely take over the system, then even this little bit of Inner Strength I have would be quickly suppressed.

By then, I’d truly be completely out of options.”

“At this moment, critical data cannot be transmitted back either.

It’s a bit of a shame.”

Though he said so, he was still trying to steal or destroy the Sonicon Blade.

This was a very curious phenomenon.

Theoretically, the Pseudo-personality Mask could be considered an independent entity, but the decisions it made could never contradict those of the biological brain that was its data source.

At least in all known history, “rebellion of the Pseudo-personality Mask” had never occurred.

Even if the Pseudo-personality Mask was on a suicide mission.

The Pseudo-personality Mask’s self-identification was always dependent on its own data source, the biological brain, and not on the prosthetic body it inhabited.

For them, it seems that the “data source” is their reason for existence.

Even if there were occasional “discrepancies between the Pseudo-personality Mask and the data source individual”, it was only when there was an intelligence differential between the two.

Once they communicated and were under the same information conditions, their judgments would align again.

As pointed out by the envoy from the Six Dragons, the Mona Knight Order has also been researching this intriguing topic at other branches.

Thinking this, he shook his cape slightly, then dashed towards the stairs.

…………………………………

“A volunteer with a certain Martial Talent, properly trained in Inner Strength, and fully cooperative, you know how valuable that is,” said Chief Ashur, “You also should know how much I look forward to the completion of this dataset.”

“But you?

What exactly have you been doing in operations?

Why even the most basic protections have faults?”

“Commander…” Bengel countered, “Numeral Sixteen was only officially formed yesterday.

As is customary, we still maintain a direct connection between Numeral Sixteen and the data source brain during these three days to ensure synchronized judgment.”

“During this time, the data source brain will also be temporarily stored in the machine room.

So at this time, we also perform cross-correction on other Pseudo-personalities.”

“These are your established practices…

I do not have the authority to design the plans!”

“The reason I appointed you as Vice Captain is because I can’t be there all the time!” The virtual figure grew even angrier: “So, you need to manage this base for me.

You daren’t change these plans?

Then how can I trust you to manage this base properly?

Moreover, when the hero attacked, did you not have the courage to execute the emergency plan?”

Daijiu Tai’a sighed inwardly, shaking his head.

Sometimes, he was quite familiar with the styles of the Knight Commanders.

If as a subordinate, someone dared to openly change the plans they provided, it was likely that in the coming years, the Knight who changed the plan would endure some rather unfair treatment.

Unless that knight made a discovery so significant even the Commander had to take notice.

And Bengel, being better at management, was tightly controlled by inspirers like Ashur in the system of the Scientific Knight Order.

Of course, being a “manager” was not something shameful.

In ancient times, Julius Robert Oppenheimer, the leader of the “Oak Ridge Project,” was such a scientist.

Among the World Openers, Xiang Shan and David Klein also leaned towards this type of position.

As coordinators of large projects, they too played significant roles in the history of technological development.

If the providers of theory were “from 0 to 1,” then they were the ones who “added zeroes after 1” and “supported the activities from 0 to 1.”

But this was the world of the Scientific Knight Order.

Now, Bengel could only endure all of Ashur’s tyranny.

“Oh?

Wait…

what about the rat?” Ashur suddenly stopped his scolding, tilting his head in a bit of confusion on the screen.

Of course, this was just a performance effect.

This virtual figure was not a “skin,” but completely virtual.

And that screen was just a plain screen; to get visual information, he had to rely on the cameras.

Thus, in the area opposite to the direction he tilted toward, a shadow darted at an unbelievable speed.

Behind him, a string of painful cries almost simultaneously erupted.

“There’s someone else?” Bengel exclaimed, grabbing a long-handled axe from the wall[This thing previously masqueraded as an antique fireman’s axe in a glass cabinet, just a bit larger.

But clearly, Cybernetically Enhanced People didn’t really need this to escape from a fire incident.

And evidently, the high-frequency vibration blade wasn’t designed for fire escape either.]

Daijiu Tai’a watched his Pseudo-personality Mask carefully, observing his movements.

At this moment, there was no connection between him and the Personality Mask.

However, just by watching his physical movements, the Personality Mask could discern his intentions—Daijiu Tai’a felt the same.

—The first goal was to reclaim or destroy the Sonicon Blade.

—The second goal was to kill Ya Pining Zhao.

—Any action to destroy the Sonicon Blade should not appear too deliberate, otherwise it would draw suspicion from Ashur and Bengel.

—So…

The Six Dragons Sect’s envoy immediately spread out his tentacles, and the sharpened blades quickly repelled the attack of Ya Pining Zhao’s Half-Beast Prosthetic Body.

The distributed neural network provided unbelievable reflex speed.

Many martial arts decision-making was resolved by the neural network, independent of the brain, in the blink of an eye.

Numerous slashes appeared on the body of the Half-Beast Prosthetic Body.

And once artificial muscle fibers suffered massive damage, they instantly lost power!

The Half-Beast Prosthetic Body immediately lost its ability to fight.

The Artillery Prosthetic Body swiftly turned its gun barrel.

However, the presence of others limited its firing angle.

And the Six Dragons Sect’s envoy was faster… faster…

The Martial Artist in a black robe was sprinting, and behind him was a tide of flying bullets.

He was sprinting toward Bengel…

—Is the target me?

Such a thought emerged in Bengel’s mind, then he felt a force hitting him from the side.

“Be careful!” said Daijiu Tai’a, side-kicking Bengel away in an instant.

The Six Dragons Sect’s envoy then spread out six mechanical tentacles, raising their sharpened tips high, like a jumping spider pouncing on ants.

—Not me, but the engine room… the Main Brain!

In this moment, the Six Dragons Sect’s envoy was supposed to succeed.

He was in line with the Artillery Prosthetic Body, and the engine room.

Ya Pining Zhao, living in luxury and idleness, could not ignore his Biological Brain and fire.

Bengel, using the long handle of his battle-axe, pressed it behind him against the ground, then leveraged it to twist and reverse his position, blocking himself in the attack path of the Six Dragons Sect’s envoy.

Daijiu Tai’a had truly not anticipated this.

He had not expected that this vice captain, who looked every bit the middle-aged research dog, this antique nerd, would have such impressive and unexpected Kung Fu.

The Pseudo-personality Mask’s judgment in this aspect wouldn’t diverge much from the main body.

So, naturally, the Six Dragons Sect’s envoy didn’t foresee it either.

Three tentacle blades plunged into Bengel’s Prosthetic Body’s chest and abdomen, one piercing through his skull.

But that was the end of it.

The alloy used in Bengel’s Prosthetic Body was extraordinary, and these high-frequency vibration blades were nearly fractured just by the cutting alone.

Then Bengel parried a blow with the handle of his axe.

The tentacles deepened into the ceiling.

Only one tentacle smashed the door and pierced into a server.

“You…”

Thus, Chief Ashur went offline once again.

Bengel dropped his long axe, intending to grab the waist of the Prosthetic Body in front of him and drag him here.

But at that moment, Daijiu Tai’a rushed over, pressed on his shoulders, and with a flying kick, kicked the Six Dragons Sect’s envoy away, asking “concernedly,” “Mr.

Bengel, are you alright?”

As the Six Dragons Sect’s envoy was burst flying, Bengel quickly twisted his body and brutally snapped off two blades.

But his skull was shattered as a result.

Revealing the empty essence inside.

It was just a decoration.

“Don’t worry, I avoided the area with the Biological Brain.” Bengel didn’t really blame this Yangtze River Knight for the mishap.

For one, the other person was after all a Yangtze River Knight, while he was just an ordinary Official Knight.

Secondly, the other person did indeed show concern.

He simply said, “Before becoming a knight, I also spent some time in the military officer’s educational system, ranking not low in Mech Armor Iron Fist.”

The Six Dragons Sect’s envoy didn’t lay on again, but rolled on the spot, rolling toward the Sonicon Blade on the ground.

Actually, when Bengel twisted his body and snapped the blades, Daijiu Tai’a had the opportunity to use soft strength to resolve this hit.

But that would have been somewhat obvious.

Besides, now that he had lost his means of attack, he had a legitimate reason to grab that Sonicon Blade.

The fingers of the Six Dragons Sect’s envoy touched the blade.

In that instant, an explosion occurred.
