Many years ago.

Borshu and Master were in a garbage heap.

Master's righteous eyes lit up again. This means that he has initiated active detection.

Borshu nervously asked, "How is it?" ”

Master shook his head, "The Ranger is only two blocks away. The front is also a convoy of chariots to close the road. The RX Pegasus is a special hardcore lightweight prosthetic with no effective means of armor piercing. ”

Borshu sighed, "I see. Let's rush out by ourselves. Life and death have their own destiny. ”

The master stretched out his hand and knocked on the skull of Borshu: "Hehe, what's the use of you rushing." A non-lethal weapon. I'll go first, you'll come later. ”

Borshu sighed.

- Someone is going to die......

"Don't overthink it. Actually, I really didn't think about bringing you to assassinate you this time. ”

Borshu was a little discouraged.

"Tsk, listen to what I'm talking about. Actually, you idiot...... I mean, naïve ambition isn't too bad. Maybe it's the same way. Master said, "There is nothing wrong with doing it if you are determined to maintain the peace of the party." It's my fault that you came to help me assassinate. 'Re-establish order'...... Whew, this ideal is a little older. If you were a chivalrous warrior at the time of the Fourth Martial God, maybe it would be more appropriate than me. ”

With that, the man stood up.

"Apprentice, from now on, we will go our separate ways."

On that day, Borshu saw a meteor shining on the earth.

It was a sight I thought I would remember for the rest of my life.

I thought I would never forget.

However, in the past year, this glittering memory has also been drowned out by the sea of corpses and blood.

Until recently.

Borshu felt like he might have only recently remembered it—specifically, a brief moment when he faced the muzzle of the eagle dog.

Perhaps it was the passionate and progressive will in the memory of the Martial Ancestor that connected and evoked the memories of the past.

Maybe it's the relationship of that troublesome woman.

Or perhaps the situation is the same as it was then.

Whatever the reason, Borshu remembered when he faced the bullet.

This is an armor-piercing bullet. The bullet will literally hit Borshu's forehead. Once kinetic energy is released into his head, the biological tissues are irreversibly damaged.

Can't hide. Borshu flicked his body with his tail and launched the blow, and there was no longer a force to change the reminder.

He moved at a young age, the flashing lights on his shoulder armor bouncing off.

This conventional, non-lethal weapon is rarely seen on the battlefield. Language, unlike the naked eye, cannot be permanently blinded. A prosthetic eye that lacks a safety lock may emit an electrical current that stimulates the nerves under bright light, but most prosthetic eyes only need to readjust the exposure and focus in a very short period of time.

However, the sudden flash of light made the Ranger instinctively make the idea of "defensive".

Distractions caused his fist to shift instantaneously.

Bullet hits Borshu. His body spun in mid-air like a windmill.

But the tail and the feet were really clamped away from the enemy.

He couldn't think anymore. However, the strong resistance to damage brought by metal-based cells allows some neurons to temporarily retain their activity. Within ten minutes, these nerve cells will also die, and the bioelectricity between the cranial nerves will disappear forever.

However, it is no longer needed.

In Bor, the prosthetic body begins to contract according to the preset commands, creating a prosthetic-based joint lock.

This does not require much assistance from the biological brain, and the program can do it.

The ranger roared, trying to break free.

But he was surprised to find that the enemy's strength was much greater than he had imagined......

- No...... Wrong......

The Ranger felt an overwhelmed voice coming from inside the guy. Even the tail that wrapped around him had some vibrations of microfibers breaking.

- This guy...... Security Protocols......

The "restrictions" left by Xiang Shan will allow Borjutsu to self-destruct when it moves.

This process lifts the security protocol of the hardware. At the same time, another spell would block the instructions from his brain to enter the hardware.

The combination of the two can constitute a lore.

And the latter has been lifted by Yuki.

At the last moment of his life, Borshu simply used his internal strength to impact the restrictions left by the mountain. The preset mechanism detects illegal modifications and automatically dissolves the security protocols, allowing the prosthesis to operate at self-destructing power.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this is not necessary. At most, this will only make the prosthetic body more than 10 percent higher than usual, but it will cause the overall structure to collapse.

Under normal circumstances, the prosthetic of Borjutsu would lock up the Ranger for a few seconds. Subsequently, his prosthetic body will self-destruct and lose momentum.

However, this is the shallow part of a cave, close to the mouth of the cave.

The oxygen content is not low.

Moreover...... There are also metal thermals in the air that can be burned.

Borshu can't think normally anymore. It was just a little thought left on his mind.

There was a murmur from the synthesizer.

He was supposed to be trying to say something.

The brain, which could no longer think, was just a little fragment of the brain activity that had been extracted from him before he was shot.

Is that...... The heroic words left behind by the meteor that rushed towards the enemy.

"I ...... Self...... Horizontal knife ...... Smile to the sky...... Hahahaha...... Hahahahahaha......ha Readily! ”

Yuki, who was dragging the original person out of the aerosol range, seemed to hear a voice behind him. He looked back, only to see a large flame burning. His hair was set ablaze by the heat.

Yuki rolled on the ground a few times to extinguish the flames on his body.

But instead of standing up, he knelt on the ground and pressed his fist against the ground.

"Hateful...... Woowoo woo ......"

……………………………………………………………………

Xiang Shan felt a series of noises mingle into his consciousness.

"What's going on...... "For no reason, he felt a palpitation.

Xiangshan remembered a legend from the past. It is said that the white noise that appears in your head when you are working on your internal power is an electrical signal of the soul of the deceased. Of course, Xiang Shan knew that this was also a cyber ghost story - it was even the subject of science fiction when he was younger.

But the imagination that Homo sapiens evolved frightened him.

- Has anyone died? Who? The original person? Yuki? That old guy just now?

— or those of my former friends? Which of them is righteous in a distant land?

This battle has been fought so far, and it is normal for anyone to die.

But in the dark, Xiang Shan doubted himself a little.

At this moment, Xiang Shan is walking towards the direction of the last clue. In his field of vision, there was a straight line on the rock wall, pointing somewhere at the bottom of the valley.

After he fell down just now, an old man he didn't know rescued him. After some exchange, the old man learned that he was searching for the legacy of the Eighth Valkyrie. After that, there was movement from the falling rocks. The two disciples of King Agni were still cautious, so they let a small number of subordinates leave the network and act alone. This is a standard process to avoid the entire squad being wiped out by a master of internal skills.

The old man then ripped off his black robe and wrapped it around himself, then draped a camouflage net with gravel over Xiang Shan. The old man quickly transferred, saying that he had gone to attract fire to the mountain.

Xiang Shan had only just regained his ability to walk at this moment. Those malicious codes are everywhere in the day. He's using his brain to reprint the correct code, overwriting the wrong parts, and reloading the parts that are already hopeless.

He's regaining his strength little by little.

However, due to the suspension of too many components and protocols, he could only maintain the basics, and even stumbled a little, and had to hold on to the rock wall to stabilize his body.

And so he walked forward.

At the same time doubt their own decisions.

Before coming down, he said "get ready" to the original and Yuki, but was it really worth it?

Is the legacy of the Eighth Martial God really worth such a big sacrifice? It was just a failed imitation of him......

Hartmann's judgment alone......

Xiang Shan finally came to the end of the extension line.

It was a small hole, barely over a meter high, almost submerged in shadows. In such an underground canyon, such a small cave is completely inconspicuous.

Inside is a metal gate. The gate is even a little larger than the hole outside, perhaps disassembled and then assembled into the hole. There is a visible lid on the iron door. Xiang Shan opened the plastic lid and found that there was actually a keyboard underneath the cover.

Numbers 0~9, plus an enter.

Searching around the mountain, I soon found traces of that special QR code again.

It's still a simple analytic geometry problem. Xiang Shan quickly got a set of data.

He tapped the keyboard.

"Huh......"

Surprisingly, the keyboard appears to be purely mechanical. There seems to be some deterioration inside, and it took a little effort for Xiang Shan to press it. The keys seem to collide with mechanical structures such as gears, leading to other deconstructions.

This ensures that the door will not be pried open by internal power or other electronic means.

It seems that the more inward mechanics are pushed into place, and the motor is finally turned on.

Soon, Xiang Shan heard the sound of "rumbling".

The heavy floodgates opened.

Climbed into the mountain.

Inside the gate is a relatively large space, at least more than two meters high. It was pitch black inside. Xiang Shan quickly found the handle on the door. He closed the floodgates again.

Then, something lit up.

It was a boot sound.

Looking back towards the mountain, he saw many elements glowing faintly in the darkness.

Then, after a barrage of noises, a speaker played, "You're finally here." ”

Xiang Shan frowned: "Who are you?" The ...... of the Eighth Valkyrie Backup? A pseudo-personality overlay? ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, it's who you are and what you're here for." The voice said, "First of all, you can recognize the code. Right? Then, even if you are not Xiangshan, you are a person who knows Xiangshan very well. ”

"Only people who have a certain level of synchronization with me can accept the crystallization of this technology. If the synchronization rate is too low, then it can cause a series of adverse reactions. So think clearly before answering - who are you? ”
