Chapter 483: Chapter 127: Reading

Xiang Shan picked up the head of Earthly Assembly Star and reconnected the wires.

"What exactly are you trying to do..." Earthly Assembly Star stared at Xiang Shan, "All these things you’re doing..."

Earthly Assembly Star seemed to want to say something, but Xiang Shan had his voice synthesizer turned off.

Due to Borshu, Xiang Shan was willing to give those who were forced into Green Forest Path a chance. However, he wasn’t their primary doctor, nor was he obligated to help them alleviate their condition. Perhaps this could be done by professionals in the future, but the current Xiang Shan was no volunteer to ease their ailments.

He was only responsible for controlling these guys.

Human resources have their limits; no one should assume the role of a universal savior. Xiang Shan was quite aware of this.

After taking control of Earthly Assembly Star, he invaded his system and brought up the communication interface.

Then, he browsed through his contact list.

"Wow, didn’t expect this guy to have such an extensive network. The highest-ranked is the fourth, Heavenly Machine, and then he knows Heaven Hero, Sky Fierce, Sky Dark and the others. The rest... quite a few he knows too."

Xiang Shan scrolled down and indeed found a number he hadn’t contacted for a long time.

The labeled name was "Sky Speed Star" Borshu.

"Looks like a cheap knockoff," Xiang Shan said, "So..."

He dialed the number listed as "Sky Fierce."

Xiang Shan wasn’t sure what network these Green Forest people were using. They might have set up a temporary private network in this place—just a few servers and shortwave antennas, or they might have used some civilian equipment here to build a private network that has no interface with the public network. Of course, although it’s unlikely, these guys do know Heavenly Machine, who is acclaimed as the number one in Green Forest’s Inner Strength, so the possibility of directly using the public network also exists.

Xiang Shan also couldn’t determine if this network was only used by Green Forest People or if there were some non-Green Forest users.

In this case, directly attacking the server or launching an AOE wouldn’t be good.

Moreover, if these guys had really recklessly tampered with the government server, a dose of Inner Strength from him, and Hartman might just jump up.

But then, these guys might have a negative trigger mechanism alarm on them. Since the opponent carries devices like antennas for sending signals, he definitely had to consider such measures. The enemy might soon realize that something had happened here. He had just killed those Green Forest people, which took some time, leaving him not much time to hesitate.

Xiang Shan thought for a moment and backed out of that contact account.

He hadn’t directly attacked. Because he was still not sure whether that Sky Fierce was directly using an implanted intelligent system to answer or had a separate terminal.

In the latter half of the 21st century, Xiang Shan had already gotten used to using implanted communication devices.

But not long after he first raised his rebellion, he began to carry a separate terminal with him.

Because he saw Zhu Xinyu turn an enemy’s brain into roasted brain tissue.

Most of the time, this counts as "overly cautious" because most masters of Inner Strength could not overload an implant in the skull to harm the metal-based brain cells in a short time. The convenience of implants largely offsets this potential risk.

So Xiang Shan needed to check the feedback from that terminal to determine what kind of terminal the other party was using.

And, how to attack.

Then, Xiang Shan received an audio message.

"Earthly Assembly? What do you want?"

If at this moment Xiang Shan still had facial muscles, then his lips would definitely be grinning widely.

An implanted device. That terminal was directly connected to Sky Fierce’s central nervous system of his Prosthetic Body.

There’s a firewall... probably written by himself... somewhat novel, a thoughtful Green Forest person...

Xiang Shan sneered and sent over a text message.

[So you call yourself Sky Fierce, huh?]

Xiang Shan’s peerless Inner Strength used the server as a springboard to strike at the Green Forest man who still had no idea what had happened.

After a moment, Sky Fierce went offline.

"Hmm?" Xiang Shan pondered, "I should have jammed his software’s protection mechanism, this isn’t his own work. The Prosthetic Body performance is very strong? Or maybe someone else is helping him?"

"He’s got accomplices, eh."

Xiang Shan thoughtfully nodded and then patted Earthly Assembly Star’s head, "Hey, head brother. How do you feel now? Let me ask you, who are Sky Fierce Star’s allies this time? Who are the experts around him?"

Earthly Assembly Star cut off his distractions, focusing his mind on the Divine Realm. He knew Xiang Shan could intercept his neural reactions within seconds to read his thoughts. No matter what the other party asked, as long as he instinctively thought about it, this guy could read it.

And "lying to oneself" was the hardest part. At this time, he couldn’t just produce a set of false information.

So he had to think about nothing.

Xiang Shan shook his head, forced the guy’s head open, and then reached in and pulled out the storage device.

Actually, that previous move was also a probing attack.

Xiang Shan hadn’t used his full strength, nor had he used the magical Inner Strength created simultaneously by the Eighth Martial God and Zhu Xinyu.

If he had used that move, he could have controlled a brain using a poisoned piece of Prosthetic Body hardware, and then used that brain to perform Inner Strength output across the internet.

But that would have some drawbacks.

If he hadn’t wiped out everyone around, then the existence of this Inner Strength would have been exposed.

This Inner Strength was bound to be exposed eventually, but it might have been a waste to use it on Sky Fierce.

For instance, if Xiang Shan were attacking Paradox City and the strength difference between the factions was huge, then using this Inner Strength would naturally be justified.

But from the level of the firewall just now, Sky Fierce was too far behind Xiang Shan, there was no need for that.

Xiang Shan could take down the guy with conventional means.

Thinking this, Xiang Shan started reading Earthly Assembly Star Li Fanji’s memory.

Kiambang, although not seeing Xiang Shan for the first time, was the first to observe Xiang Shan reading Green Forest people’s memories directly. He exclaimed, "Senior?"

Someone would actually... read the unprocessed memories of Green Forest people directly?

Isn’t he afraid of encountering inner demons?

"Cough cough, a small scene," Solo Kill King came over, naturally finding a position to protect Xiang Shan.

For a moment, Kiambang was a bit unclear whose behavior was abnormal—his or the Nameless Hero’s.

An hour later, Xiang Shan finally slowly stood up.

He hadn’t read these guys’ memories earlier because of this.

The format of human memories is very ambiguous. Even for him, even just reading the most recent content, it took a long time.

And because of the existence of the "negative feedback mechanism alarm," his defeat of these people could be exposed at any time.

However, in that hour, he did gain quite a bit.
