Chapter 801: Chapter 46: Clues from the Theft Case

The continuous collisions resounded in unison, and half of the Martial Arts School district was shaking. A building made of alloy collided with another, crashing into each other dozens of times, with over ten metal buildings severely deformed as if they were made of clay.

The force equivalent to several high-powered electromagnetic guns was echoing throughout the Martial Arts School district.

The only fortunate thing was that everyone active in the Martial Arts School district was a fully modified Martial Artist, without exception. Even with such a severe incident, there were not many casualties throughout the Martial Arts School district.

No one would be suffocated, and no one would bleed out due to broken limbs.

In this low-gravity environment, even Homo sapiens wouldn’t fall to their deaths.

Although Protector Ti was caught in the building collision, his entire body embedded in the wall, leaving a human-shaped indentation in the alloy outer wall. Protector Ti spread his arms, bracing against the walls on both sides. In the next round of collisions, his arms also sank a little into the wall.

But that’s not the point.

Protector Ti decisively cut off the Magnetic Chain Weapon. The Magnetic Chain Weapon had the characteristic of being "cheap," easy to replenish.

To be honest, the nanowire suddenly taken out by that mysterious expert was more expensive than his Magnetic Chain Weapons, purely in terms of cost.

"This is a bit troublesome," Protector Ti muttered as he looked at the human-shaped indentation he had made.

How should I put it, it’s... quite clearly visible. At least the traces of the Magnetic Chain Weapons were left behind.

Anyone could roughly deduce the specifications of his Prosthetic Body from this indent—especially the torso.

Just unfortunately, the main framework of this torso couldn’t be replaced.

—I must find a way to leave this place...

This was equivalent to spreading Protector Ti’s full-force attack across a wide area. Protector Ti was like a strongman wielding a gigantic hammer. The strongman’s martial arts were exceptional, lifting weights with ease, swinging the heavy hammer as if it was weightless, but that didn’t mean the "hammer" was truly light.

That was the result of the "hammer" slipping from his hand just now.

This massive commotion was no longer something that could be resolved with intelligence operations or data deletion—at least not with the level of Inner Strength they had.

Martial Artists from the Neutral City-State would definitely take notice of this place, bringing endless variables to the mission.

Protector Ti quickly dashed out, mingling into the chaotic crowd.

At that moment, Protector Ti took one last look at the mysterious expert through a Martial Master’s prosthetic eye.

Yes, the mysterious expert.

Protector Ti now believed that the Martial Artist he had just fought was definitely a One Layer Heaven expert disguised with an ordinary Prosthetic Body, just like Zhili Jiliu.

The opponent must have ulterior motives.

The mysterious expert had dodged the Magnetic Chain Weapon’s out-of-control direct strike.

When the Magnetic Chain Weapon went out of control, some parts thrust out, while others retracted. Running around at such a time was just gambling with one’s life.

Moreover, those "Magnetic Chain Weapons that might thrust out," one of them had to be aimed directly at him—that was Protector Ti’s habit, always having one Magnetic Chain Weapon aimed at the enemy during formation changes, ready to thrust at any moment.

At the moment it went out of control, the mysterious expert took just one step, making the minimal evasion.

Then, she pulled up her companion and left without looking back.

Protector Ti didn’t pursue and didn’t attempt a sniping. The Magnetic Chain Weapon itself was also an electromagnetic gun launch device, so Protector Ti rarely carried additional firearms.

Also, the recent impact didn’t give him time to unload the force, and his joints had suffered some impact. In this state, chasing such an expert could risk a setback.

Furthermore...

—Just now, that nanowire...

Protector Ti thought.

That nanowire wasn’t originally meant to be a cutting weapon, but a material. For a weapon, there was no need to make it capable of maintaining good conductivity at the nanoscale. For the same material, with the same length, the smaller the cross-sectional area, the greater the resistance. If the conventional material of a power transmission line was made into a nanowire, the resistance would be unacceptably high, at least insufficient to interfere with his Magnetic Chain Weapon.

This material couldn’t have been produced in a workshop. Unless it came from a Hero-occupied area beyond Jupiter’s orbit, the Six Dragons Sect could trace the source.

"Superconducting Quantum Gate" technology combined with "high-temperature superconductor" technology would create "Quantum Chip Technology" with a relatively low ceiling, higher production cost but low environmental requirements. The Scientific Knight Order has always managed related research strictly, with spin, charge, lattice, orbit, and other studies requiring review from the Kings. The production of related materials has also been under strict surveillance.

But coincidentally, in this realm, the Six Dragons Sect still has considerable, ahem, "influence."

The Six Dragons Sect’s research system is most interested in "thorough decryption of neural system activity" and "comprehensive enhancement of consciousness." They are fond of the artificial neural circuit technology from the Hospital Knight Order.

And the nanoscale conductive wires needed for artificial neural circuits...

A few years ago, some had been stolen on Mars.

Ah, of course, the official records from the Sanctuary wouldn’t have this incident. The Scientific Knights under the Six Dragons Sect covered up the gap by reporting "experimental losses." The Scientific Knights under the Six Dragons Sect have always kept two sets of books, one for the upper echelons, the other for internal circulation.

But Protector Ti just happened to know about this.

"I have a rough idea of who you are, ’Ghost’," Protector Ti murmured as he looked in the direction where Jeanne had disappeared. "If you continue to oppose us... we will meet again."

At that time, I hope you’ll be using your own body.

.......................................

"Gloomy Style... a variant of the ancient martial art ’Nebula Chains’..." Xiang Shan couldn’t help but laugh, "David, oh David, you bastard, you’ve been waiting for me here. No wonder I found it somewhat familiar."

Tumor Xiang Shan, after downloading enough information from the blockchain, sank his consciousness and returned to reality.

Jeanne still sat in the darkness. This was the territory of the Hermo Association.

After returning to the Hermo Association’s squad’s base with Asgard, Jeanne found the person in charge. Naturally, Asgard’s serious injury caused a stir. But soon, they learned another piece of news—these two guys had provoked a One Layer Heaven Martial Artist.

Upon hearing this news, the Hermo Association’s squad fell into chaos. Two Mobile Cavalry squads had almost annihilated this caravan. And a One Layer Heaven Martial Artist could settle five Mobile Cavalry squads in the blink of an eye without a scratch.

The disparity in combat power was too great.

Several of those in charge immediately began discussing countermeasures. Asgard was also called over. Jeanne, meanwhile, purchased some bullets, replenishing her consumption, and asked the Hermo Association for a room with internet access.

Xiang Shan was going to investigate the martial arts of that One Layer Heaven expert.
