"Interesting, Slanca wouldn’t let his men answer my call,"

the male voice on the other end of the phone chuckled, the words laced with a kind of mental oppression, "So, is this Mr... or Ms.? Is Slanca already dead? Perhaps..."

He Ao took the handset from his ear.

This person seemed rather talkative.

Then he hung up the phone.

——

On the other end of the phone, in a brightly lit office, a man dressed in fine clothes took a smart bracelet from his wrist and listened quietly to the ’beep beep beep - ’ busy signal caused by the phone hanging up.

He gently held the bracelet and then crushed it with force, fragments of metal sparkling with faint electricity fell from his fingertips.

"Does this guy... not know that it’s very impolite to hang up before someone else has finished speaking?"

Then he fiercely slapped his hand on the desk, and the thick metal steel plate surface was hit with a downward crack like it was just a piece of paper.

A few seconds later, he caught his breath, picked up a landline phone beside him, and dialed a number,

"Slanca’s dead, go check it out."

——

He Ao didn’t know that his action of hanging up the phone had infuriated the person on the other end, but he knew this place was no longer safe.

Once the other party made the judgment that something had happened to Slanca, no matter whether Slanca was really in trouble or not, they would send someone to check.

Once surrounded by multiple people, it would be difficult for He Ao to escape.

However, there was still some time from the moment the other party arranged for someone until their arrival.

After considering for a moment, He Ao didn’t leave immediately, but first went into Slanca’s bedroom.

He took out a bedsheet from the bedroom and threw it on the couch, then searched every room one by one, and finally found a huge freezer in a small room similar to a storage room.

Upon opening the freezer door, he found bunches of frozen Corpse Flowers wrapped inside, and after a rough estimate, there were more than twenty.

He took out the portable freezer he had brought from the Hyena Gang and stuffed all twenty-something flowers in it, securing it tight.

Then in the storage room, he searched for a while longer and found ten Mithril Test Tubes which he tucked into his Combat Suit before heading back to the study.

Slanca’s body was already starting to cool down. He Ao walked to the computer and looked at the last file in the [Clear] folder, which had a familiar name on it,

Christos.

He Ao shut down the computer, crouched down, and carefully picked up Slanca’s cooling body, carrying it to the living room.

Then he twisted the bedsheet he had taken from the bedroom into a strip and tied Slanca’s body to his own front.

During this process, he took off his own pants and jacket and tied them around his body, exposing his Combat Suit, then strapped the suitcase to Slanca’s body and walked towards the other side of the living room.

There stood the best view of the entire living room, a huge floor-to-ceiling window, which provided a panoramic view of Dawn City’s bustling city center.

He Ao took out Slanca’s gun he had picked up from the ground and aimed it at the floor-to-ceiling window.

At the same time, a crisp electronic sound came from outside.

It was the elevator arrival alert.

The screen behind the security door lit up, showing a bald man with eyes flickering with red light, followed by two individuals who clearly looked like underlings.

They stepped out of the elevator, walking step by step towards the door, and then the bald man placed his hand on the door lock.

Click—

The smart lock on the security door was slowly unlocked.

At this moment, He Ao pulled the trigger, and bullets rained down like a storm on the large floor-to-ceiling window, forming a circle around it.

Then he tossed the gun onto the ground, took the Butcher Pistol from his waist, switched it to sniper rifle mode, and slowly turned around.

As he turned, the three people outside the door also violently pushed open the security door. The bald man raised one hand, his palm opened, and a dazzling laser gathered in his palm.

The two behind him both raised their guns towards He Ao, fingers on the triggers.

Bang—

The huge recoil pushed He Ao violently backward, slamming into the floor-to-ceiling window that reflected the entire glittering city.

The searing bullet entered the bald man’s open palm, piercing the intricate energy pipes. In that instant, a massive amount of energy overflowed from the bald man’s body, creating a short circuit.

"No!"

The surging light flickered over the bald man’s body.

Bang—

This was the sound of glass shattering.

Along with glass shards reflecting dazzling light, He Ao’s body plummeted from tens of meters in the air.

The flowing evening breeze caressed his cheeks, whisking away the cap on his head, revealing a sickly yet youthful face.

He Ao turned over, facing downward as he fell, retracting the Butcher Pistol as the oncoming wind scraped his face.

Boom—

An intense explosion sounded behind him, the flashing light illuminating half the night sky for a moment.

When the Mechanized Body’s laser cannon was preparing to fire, a bullet shot into the barrel at a certain angle and with a certain initial velocity could pass through the laser cannon’s barrel and strike the internal energy transmission lines, leading to the laser cannon short-circuiting and overheating in a brief time.

The enormous heat would melt the chips and circuits near the laser cannon, causing a circuit error, which would lead to an energy core blockage and explosion.

This was a fixed design flaw in mid-range Mechanized Bodies, which Joey had once seen mentioned in a paper while idly flipping through books in the library.

However, this flaw was only theoretical. To achieve the required initial velocity, one would have to fire a high-specification sniper rifle from close range, and the sniper would also need to possess extremely fine firearm control to find the precise angle and tiny entry point.

But when facing a high-end Mechanized Body at close range, the Mechanized Body’s operator would most certainly be moving at high speed, and the laser cannon’s activation time is extremely short, meaning that the sniper would not have time to adjust the cumbersome sniper rifle to aim before they are taken out by the laser fired by the Mechanized Body.

So this was just a theoretical flaw, unless the opponent possessed extremely strong reflexes, a terrifying ability to observe details, and excellent gun mastery skills, holding a lightweight sniper rifle in their hands.

That paper stated that the odds of such a person existing were in the six decimal places, maybe not even one in tens or hundreds of millions of people.

Well, coincidentally, He Ao, who had activated Super Memory and was holding the Butcher Pistol, just happened to meet this criterion.

So He Ao tried to see if he could perform this operation, and even if he couldn’t, at least he could prevent the bald man’s laser cannon from firing, buying time to shatter the floor-to-ceiling window.

In his other hand, he actually held a laser grenade.

Under the force of gravity, He Ao’s falling speed increased, and the wind cut across his cheeks like a fine blade.

He pressed a button on the left chest of his Combat Suit.

A huge triangular glider wing burst open behind him, commanding the wild wind and carrying his figure into the deep neon lights.

This was a built-in glider wing of the Combat Suit.

The body of Slanca, strapped to him, began to emit a faint grey glow; this was his Talent Sequences seeping out.

He Ao didn’t know how to harvest Slanca’s Talent Sequences, but he knew someone might.
