Chapter 9: Brilliant and Empty
“…… We regret to issue this notice, the 1788th batch of 423 volunteers who tested military mechanical implants, all died due to rejection reactions, these volunteers will be compensated by the government, and their names will be written in the history of human science, ......
- "Obituary", from the official website of the First Academy of Sciences of the League.

Among the four lines of TF, the gene matching rate of mechanical TF is the highest, on the other hand, mechanical TF is also the easiest to form combat effectiveness - how can Ling Yu's meat system TF optics be able to eat and drink like a normal person without biting the fork and crushing the cup, it will take a long time, while the mechanical TF can directly receive brain waves or nerve signals, and act perfectly according to the user's will.
On the other hand, the mechanical TF is also very easy to quickly build combat power - when your right hand is a 20mm rapid-fire gun and the front pectoral muscles are composite armor, all you have to do is carry the ammo box and act as a humanoid fire point. And the training time required by the meat system TF in this regard is even higher than that of the chemistry TF, the meat system TF must undergo complete special operations training, and then need to explore how to use this superhuman body by himself, and finally form his own fighting style - if you still don't understand, the mechanical TF is like learning how to shoot, and normal people can master it in more than ten days; The meat system is a fighting master who requires years of further study.
However, this does not mean that the mechanical TF is stronger than the meat system TF - the price of strong strength and endurance is the sacrifice of speed and perception, in the army, the mechanical TF may have greater achievements, but for special operations, the meat system TF naturally has a more unique advantage.
Finally, there is another serious problem with mechanical TF - it is not simply the installation of mechanical parts, which means that the TF transformation is successful, and most mechanical TF must take anti-rejection drugs for life, and this is only for those organs made by contemporary humans.
But if this mechanical part is a product of prehistoric civilization, then it is another concept - Ling Yu is so big, although he often comes into contact with the products of prehistoric civilization, but he has never really used an item of prehistoric civilization, listen to Han Fei said, any item of prehistoric civilization - whether it is a mechanical arm like "splendid", or a general sword, firearm, or even medical equipment, will perform genetic sequencing on the user to obtain a "fit", only to find a specific gene fragment, Fit above a certain level will only function, and even more will slowly assimilate and recognize the holder's genetic fragments, so as to continuously improve their own functions - unfortunately the vast majority of people can't reach this point, guns and swords are okay, it's not a big deal to throw them away, what kind of rejection reaction will this kind of thing be caused by the mechanical arm......
Ling Yu glanced at Jiesi again, in a sense, this girl was really very talented - at least on a genetic level.
"Isn't the fit high enough?"
Ling Yu finished thinking with some difficulty and asked.
"No, the fit of 'Brilliant' is already over 87%, and I can't play it because of my lack of combat experience."
Jeuncy smiled and shook her head, Ling Yu found that it seemed that as long as this little princess faced her, she would definitely bring a polite smile, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"But, boss, I don't have more products of prehistoric civilization than this."
Ling Yu was silent for a moment, this time Jiesi chose to provoke the topic, looking at Ling Yu who slowly showed a surprised look, a girl rarely brought a show-off element in her routine smile, she stretched out her hand and lifted the bangs on her left forehead At the same time, the original aqua blue left eye instantly turned into an inorganic gray unique to metal.
"Tactical mechanical eyes, 'inanition'." Jess raised her chin a little proudly, but then smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that it's only 37% of the fit, it's just 'usable', and the main ability of this mechanical eye is to calculate and analyze, it's better than nothing, there may be other functions, but it's unlikely that I developed it." ”
This time Ling Yu was completely speechless, the knights were different, they had sent so many New Year's goods, and they had heard of the value of this kind of original black technology equipment that could only flow directly from the "Ark" - the most elite TF action team in the alliance couldn't make a piece of black technology equipment for everyone, and there were two princesses in front of him who didn't seem to have fought much.
"Uh...... My personal devotion to your genetic gifts and your Knights' brutality...... Ahem...... I mean, I say the best use of everything, great admiration, Lord Knight. ”
It took Ling Yu a lot of effort to swallow the words "Violent Heavenly Things" - if it weren't for the fact that two people were also considered comrades in the trenches, Ling Yu definitely didn't mind a poisonous tongue.
Think about what kind of scene Han Fei's academic home would be if he was present? Will that guy scream and jump on the table and rip out Jesse's eye? Ling Yu thought maliciously, he had personally heard the opinion of the man with glasses:
All the black technology weapons with a fit of less than 85% are used in the tyranny of the heavens! --Han Fei.
"Actually...... That's what I thought, too. ”
Jessy's voice suddenly sank, she put down her hand, the bangs that had been picked up fell a little messily, and her mechanical eyes turned bright aqua blue again, but she lost her previous confidence and excitement.
"This eye...... It's really a waste and a loss for me...... It's a loss for all of humanity. ”
"It's not your fault...... I admit that it is hard for me to say that it is the fault of the Order, after all, if this eye is not on you, it is difficult to say which careerist will fall into the hands. ”
It was the first time for Ling Yu to see this girl who was always smiling with such a look, but his statement was not just to comfort the girl in front of him, but his truest thoughts at this time.
"Although I don't think that the Knights really have the right to decide what kind of black technology is suitable for human beings, I do agree that black technology is too dangerous for humans today, and there needs to be an organization with a transcendent status to restrict its use...... This may not be a bad thing, at least me, Han Fei, and Logan...... I mean another friend, who thinks so. And we prefer to believe that the President of the Privy Council thinks so. ”
"Speaker......"
The sadness in Jiesi's eyes was melted a lot by Ling Yu's indifferent statement, and she slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, remembering the old Wang Ba who was scolded by herself as "immortal for ten thousand years"; The old boss, who was compared to himself and the Pope who burned Bruno, muttered in a low voice.
"I don't think your mind is as stiff as it was just now, does it look like you've recovered?"
Jiesi took a breath, blinked at Ling Yu, and spoke.
"Hmm, it's true, it's really ...... you say that," Ling Yu touched his head, "It turns out that chatting can speed up the reply, it's the first time I've known it." ”
"Poof, did you always stare at the ceiling?"
Jesse playfully makes fun of her boss.
"Sort of...... After all, there is no one to talk to......" Although Ling Yu was embarrassed, he had to nod his head in acknowledgement.
"'Garlic' is going to be very sad."
"Don't mention the trash can that threatens me to call the police at every turn."
"Ahem--get down to business, boss, what do we do next?"
Jess coughed lightly twice, which was considered to be the end of teasing her boss, adjusted her sitting posture, put her right hand on the table, and asked questions.
"In principle, we don't have many options at the moment, this safe house is abandoned, and it is unlikely that we will be able to contact the Alliance, so we may also have to rely on the power of your hermitage, in addition, ......"
Ling Yu's train of thought was very clear, but he didn't continue, the young man frowned, hesitated slightly, and finally put his left hand into his waist bag and took out a box.
It was a silver box with exquisite carvings, but at this time, it was almost dyed purple and black by the blood that had already dried, and Ling Yu's hand gently rubbed on it, and the red blood cells that had coagulated immediately drifted away like flying ash.
"This thing ......" Jiesi's brows tightened in an instant, she stretched out her hand and tentatively touched the box, then raised her head and looked into Ling Yu's eyes, "Can I take a closer look?" ”
Ling Yu nodded slightly, and Jiesi took the box, looked at it for a moment, and asked a question first.
"Where are you from...... Got this thing, boss. ”
"You've seen it?" Ling Yu answered with a question.
Jeunsy shook her head, but gave a not-so-bad answer, "I've never seen anything like it, but I'm sure it's a product of a prehistoric civilization. ”
Ling Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and in exchange, he also gave the other party an answer, "This is what I found on the corpse of our splice object, the agent codenamed 'Stapler'. ”
"So that's the core of the matter." Ling Yu took a breath and spoke as he sorted out his thoughts.
"When I found the body of the 'stapler', this box was pressed under him, I thought it would be some clue item that was brought, but now that I think about it, the body of the 'stapler' has obviously been examined, so why did the other party leave this thing? Logically doesn't make sense. ”
"In fact...... The other side has a good reason. ”
Jeunsy stared at the box in her hand, suddenly tilted her head helplessly, and began her statement with a question.
"You didn't have any special feelings when you first saw this box, did you?"
"No," Ling Yu replied truthfully, "I have the impression that the products of prehistoric civilization are much more gorgeous than this, you look at the swords of those knights, which one is not brilliant, although this box has very exquisite carvings, but it is not too amazing." ”
"That's right, I can promise you." Jeunsy put on a smug smile again, "There are no more than ten people in the world who can recognize this box from this blood stain at a glance. ”
"And your smart employees are just one of them."
Ling Yu sweated profusely as she looked at Jess smirking as if she had picked up a frisbee husky, but Jess then told him the truth that made him sweat even more.
"Actually, the aesthetics of prehistoric civilizations are...... Well...... It's a little different from us humans. ”
It's ugly, I see. Ling Yu didn't speak, thinking to himself.
"So the Privy Cavalry has a special order of scribes who is responsible for 'beautifying' these products, and the gorgeous knights' armor and swords you see should have been dealt with by them...... After all, that's a ...... Well...... The development of the Order needs it. ”
That's really ...... Typical of the style of a god stick, Ling Yu wiped the beads of sweat from his head while sneering on his stomach, cleared his throat, and responded.
"Could it be that this box is inconspicuous that it has been ignored?"
"Well, honestly, it seems to me that way it is." Jesse placed the box on the table, I don't know if it was intentional or not, the box was right in the middle of the two positions.
"Well, it makes sense, the 'stapler' didn't know why he got this box, and the person who killed him knew that we would come to the door, so he took this box that looked like a clue item and put it under the corpse to divert my attention." Ling Yu nodded and put together all the pieces of the puzzle, "So the people who attacked me didn't shoot me directly, the first ACA assault infantry should have wanted to capture me alive before giving me a chance to fight back." ”
"Do you think his killer took what he wanted?" Jesse held her cheek with one hand and asked.
"To be precise, I don't think the person who killed him himself knew if he got what he wanted." Ling Yu closed his eyes and let out a long breath, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have set this trap to try to capture me alive, a bomb would be enough." ”
"And now, the consignee is dead, can't we leave alone?" Jesse spoke.
"Don't forget what we saw on the road, the ACA is obviously blocking the South African war zone, plus the information you provided earlier, the situation of the Secret Service's intelligence network in South Africa, I suspect it may be related to this incident."
Ling Yu sat up straight and tapped his fingers on the table, summarizing the conversation.
"Anyway, it's useless to think about it. Now all we have to do is get in touch with the monastic and find the sender and ask about the next steps. ”
Jess nodded in agreement, then dropped her gaze on the box, took a breath, and slowly spoke, as if she had made a heavy decision.
"I'll help you open the box."
