"Luo...!?"

Seeing Luo Zhen appear in front of him like this, Io, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but shed tears again.

However, if he could, Io didn't really want Luo Zhen to be here.

"Click!"

"Click!"

With the swing of the machine gun, the surrounding soldiers had already completely surrounded and aimed their guns at Luo Zhen and his party.

The mechanical dogs were also full of magical power, standing in front of the soldiers, forming a second encirclement.

"Who are you?"

Guretan stood straight in front of Edmond and questioned Luo Zhen in a cold voice.

As for Edmond, he looked at Luo Zhen with great interest, and the eyes of the three of them, Yeye, Iluri, and Xiaozi behind Luo Zhen, also carried a trace of brilliance, which made his face full of rich smiles.

Luo Zhen was thus surrounded by a Karakuri army, which seemed to be majestic, but in fact it was extremely dangerous.

How could Io possibly want Rozhen to be here?

"Why..."

Io couldn't help but mutter.

In this regard...

"Why am I here?"

Luo Zhen completely ignored Gu Leitan's questioning, let alone the threats of the soldiers and mechanical dogs around him, and stood in front of Io without looking back.

"Because, you're giving too many hints."

You must know that Luo Zhen didn't go to the Karakuri Engineering Department to play, but originally had a purpose.

In the Karakuri Division, Luo Zhen is trying to find out the prisoners who used tampering magic in the academy.

After meeting Io, Luo Zhen began to suspect that Io was the one who tampered with the magic.

"Not to mention anything else, the scope of that magic is enough to envelop the entire Karakuri City, and the magic required is simply massive, ordinary puppets can't provide and manipulate at all, and ordinary automaton can't use such a huge magic."

Luo Zhen turned his gaze, looked at the expressionless Ivan, and spoke word by word.

"However, if it is an automaton equipped with an infinite chain reaction, then these problems can be solved."

Whether it is the magic required or the manipulation that is necessary, as long as there is an "infinite chain reaction" that fits the magic, it can be successfully achieved.

This is the purpose of the existence of "Infinite Chain Reaction".

Therefore, after meeting Io and recalling the "Infinite Chain Reaction", Luo Zhen has begun to wonder if Io is the secret user who tampered with magic.

will mess around with Io, on the one hand, because Luo Zhen is really annoyed, and on the other hand, it is also to test Io and find out the truth of the incident from Io.

"And when you were there, you yourself admitted that the current 'infinite chain reaction' is only used in one magic circuit."

Luo Zhen looked at Ivan and smiled silently.

"Now it seems that this should be the so-called 'absolute kingship', right?"

———— "Absolute Kingship".

That's what that tampering magic is.

A magic trick that can invade the heart of an automaton and tamper with the heart's records to make the automaton get out of control.

This kind of magic, through the combination of "Infinite Chain Reaction", has the effect of being able to act on the entire Karakuri City, and make the entire Karakuri City automaton lose control.

As Luo Zhen thought, this kind of magic was something that Io had developed.

It's just that...

"It's not you who uses this magic trick to do whatever you want, but someone else, I didn't think of it."

Luo Zhen finally turned his gaze to Edmond.

"What I didn't expect was that the initiator would be you, the crown prince of the United Kingdom, the first heir to the throne, and the royal bloodline ———— known as the Black Prince."

Yes.

Edmond is the British crown prince who is rumored to be attending the automaton expo in person, and the first in line to the throne.

That's why he's so arrogant.

That's why he has a cunning army and a brave general to escort him.

Unfortunately, this person is the culprit who used the "absolute kingship".

He's the one who makes the automaton in Karakuri City out of control.

He was also the one who caused the glove holders in the academy to lose their automata.

Even Io was deceived and concealed by him before being used by him.

"Looks like you're having a great time in Liverpool, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Luo Zhen's words made Edmond laugh insolently.

"Knowing my identity, you dare to talk to me in such a tone, and call me by my name, it's really bold."

With such arrogant and lofty words on his lips, Edmond looked at Luo Zhen without even a little annoyance, only full of interest.

"Besides, I'd like to have seen that face of yours in the report, and although I was a little surprised to have three automata with me instead of one, I don't mind this surprise, so you can offer those three automata that seem to be much better than Ivan."

Edmond's order as a matter of course made Yeye, Iluri, and Purple all look angry.

Even Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows, and his expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling turned into indifference.

"I'd love the automaton for Ivan, so you'd better give it to me."

Luo Zhen said indifferently, causing anger to burst out on the faces of the soldiers around him and General Guretan.

"That's bold."

Edmund said this, but he was not as angry as the others, and even became happy.

"Well, I'll take it myself, just let me see if you're really as good as the report says."

With that, Edmund reached out and snapped his fingers.

In this instant......

"Bang ————!"

One by one, the soldiers did not hesitate to pull the trigger of the gun in their hand and shoot directly.

Bullets pierced the air and burst out from all directions, enveloping Luo Zhen's direction.

However...

"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!"

With the sound of bullets sinking into the human body, one bullet after another passed through the bodies of Luo Zhen and his party for some reason, and fell on the surrounding soldiers one by one.

"Woo...!"

"Uh...!"

"Ahh

One by one, the soldiers let out screams and howls of pain, and fell to the ground one by one in a burst of blood spilled.

"This...!?"

Gurettan's pupils shrank.

“...... Karakuri Team! Attack! ”

Edmond also had a pale face, but still ordered in a cold voice with an unchanged face.

So, one by one, the mechanical dogs opened their mouths one after another, gathering their magic power in their mouths.

In the next second, balls of flames formed cannonballs that burst out of the mouths of mechanical dogs.

However, these flaming cannonballs actually passed through Luo Zhen and his party and landed on the surrounding mechanical dogs.

"Bang ————!"

In the explosion, the flaming cannonballs blasted away the mechanical dogs, causing the mechanical dogs to be directly blown into pieces, turned into charred scrap metal, and fell to the ground.

"How could it be...!?"

Io, still lying on the ground, widened his eyes.

It was only then that everyone found out.

Luo Zhen's hand had already been placed on Xiao Zi's body, infused with magic power.
