"Finally, later today, the official spokesperson for the Privy Cavalry finally held a press conference at Icarus, at which the spokesman presented a large amount of evidence of the ACA's massacre of the Privy Order's members in South Africa, while the ACA claimed that its military operations were completely legal on the grounds that the Privy Cavalry was an illegal resistance organization and could be executed according to guerrilla and spy standards without trial, and it was clear that this would be another protracted war of public opinion......

"It's this!!"

At the same time that Ling Yu's fingers touched the black cube, he subconsciously exclaimed, because the young man's left index finger was almost at the same time, as if it had been frozen, and he had lost any feeling.

And the black cube also changed at the same time, the texture of the metal disappeared instantly, and the neat cube melted into a gelatinous shape like chocolate sauce, and began to crawl upwards along Ling Yu's index finger!

"Boss! Your heart rate is beating fast...... It's more than three hundred! ”

A streamer flashed in Jiesi's left eye, scanning Ling Yu, but at the same time that Ling Yu's body number appeared in Jiesi's mind, the girl was startled by the number she saw

"I know!!"

It was a change that was dangerous even for TF, but Ling Yu didn't care about it, as he could already feel a piercing pain coming from the back of his fingers and hands, and along with this pain, there was a sharp throbbing pain in his forehead and entire spine.

A burst of darkness flashed in front of Ling Yu's eyes, and the young man used his last strength to stay awake, the black gelatinous substance still crawling on the back of his hand, but it didn't cross his wrist.

"Boss! It's too dangerous! ”

"Boss! You're reaching the limit of your physical signs!! ”

"Boss !!"

Jiesi's call was not answered, in her opinion, Ling Yu had basically lost consciousness, and the chief knight of the mechanical department stared at the number of strokes in his eyes, and was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then a frightened expression crept up on her beautiful face!

Because she's seen this happen countless times! ――

――This is the physiological value of the TF transformation of the mechanical department!!

Twenty years after the birth of TF modification surgery, "multilineage TF" is still an insurmountable gap, the principle of TF is based on the fragments of prehistoric civilization remaining in the genes of modern humans, so there are very few people who can accept monophyletic TF modification, and people who can have two suitable gene fragments are even rarer, in addition, it is necessary to consider whether the gene fragments of Homo erectus in the modern human body will produce rejection, and whether there will be rejection between biphyletics......

At this moment, there is only one answer that Jiesi can find - this black cube is a special mechanical element that can automatically carry out a mechanical transformation on eligible people, and Ling Yu's body happens to have a gene fragment that can activate this thing!

If Ling Yu is an ordinary person, then Jiesi doesn't have to worry too much, but Ling Yu is already an excellent meat system TF, if the probability of ordinary people successfully becoming TF is only 1 in a million, then the probability of a single-line TF becoming a dual-line TF is only 1 in 100 million!

Jiesi glanced at Ling Yu who was sitting on the ground, sweat slid down the young man's forehead, and the young man's eyes had turned red.

Ling Yu has entered the overclocking state!

Ling Yu didn't know why he had entered the overclocking state, in fact, he had almost lost control of his body, Ling Yu gritted his teeth and wandered on the verge of losing consciousness.

And Jiesi on the side also gritted her teeth fiercely at this time, and reached behind her with her right hand, and a silver-white dagger appeared in her hand - it was the dagger of Snake Eyes, which was brought by Jiesi after piercing into Jiesi's body.

Jiesi didn't hesitate, aimed at Ling Yu's left wrist and cut it down!

This was the only thing she could do, and in her opinion, it was the only way to save Ling Yu.

Because as one in 30,000, she knows that once she passes out during the TF transformation surgery, she will never wake up again!

However, the silver light flashed, but it stopped in the air.

Bright red blood did not run down the blade, but slipped through the fingers of a pair of hands.

Ling Yu actually used his right hand to catch the dagger that Jiesi had slashed down from his right side, and if it wasn't for Jiesi who withdrew most of her strength the moment Ling Yu reached out to catch it, I'm afraid Ling Yu would have lost her right hand!

"I can do it......"

Ling Yu's eyes were still red, the young man struggled to squeeze out three words from between his teeth, staring at his left hand, the young man in the overclocking state almost stood up in a flash, and when Jiesi came back to his senses, the young man had already let go of the dagger and pinched the left hand covered by the black gelatinous object with his blood-soaked right hand, which was scratched.

"But ......"

Jesse glanced at the dagger in her hand, stood up, and hesitantly looked at the young man with his legs apart, clenching his right hand as if he was gathering strength to his left hand.

"I said I could do it!!"

Ling Yu suddenly tore open her throat and shouted, this roar even made Jiesi subconsciously take a step back, the sweat had already gathered on Ling Yu's face into a tiny river, and then slid down her chin to the dry sand from the campfire next to her.

"I've been defeated many times, I've escaped many times, I've let down people who believe in me many times......"

In a trance, Ling Yu seemed to be back in the icy water, the bonfire in front of him seemed to be a roaring scientific research city, and the left hand without any temperature wrapped in black slime was like the hands of the person who had given him the right to live again.

"Me! No! Yes! Again! Escape! Finish!! ”

The young man's angry and hoarse roar seemed to make the flames fluctuate violently, and he still maintained a charged posture, but in the next second, Jesse fell to her knees on the ground.

Because, Jiesi saw with her own eyes that the black liquid wrapped around Ling Yu's left hand suddenly ended flowing, and instead formed a black tattoo-like pattern on the back of his left hand in an orderly manner, and she was even sure that at that moment, she saw a blue light passing across this pattern.

A guess popped up in Jeunse's mind, but she couldn't believe it, and just when she was at a loss, Ling Yu raised her head.

Ling Yu gasped, his pupils, which had almost lost focus, refocused, and the entire island seemed to be quiet at this moment, even the crackling bonfire lost its sound, and only Ling Yu's heartbeat and breathing gradually recovered.

The young man straightened up and shook a step back, Jiesi, who was kneeling on the ground, subconsciously got up, she wanted to go up and support Ling Yu, but she froze in place because she didn't know if the Yiqiē was over.

Ling Yu was still panting violently, he looked at Jiesi, who was standing aside, hesitating to step forward, and slowly raised his right hand, as if showing off, he shook the back of his tattooed left hand towards Jiesi, and then hooked the corners of his mouth.

"It's finished."

In the next second, the young man fell headlong.

***

"Hasn't the submarine come yet?"

"It's almost over, do you want to sleep again?"

"Actually, I've never been on an attack nuclear submarine."

Four hours later, Ling Yu woke up, but only woke up.

Ling Yu felt that his body was almost paralyzed, and the young man had almost exhausted all his strength before he could barely move his fingers, but his wish to raise his left hand to take another look at the tattoo-like mark had not come true.

But compared to this, if Ling Yu could still move his body at this moment, then the first thing he had to do was sit up, because the older unmarried young man at this time was lying in Jiesi's arms.

Ling Yu, who was only left with the strength to speak, wanted to let Jiesi help her up, so that the only remaining emotional intelligence of the young man who had not been in contact with women for many years made him feel that such behavior was a bit indifferent, so he could only tell cold jokes while breaking the jar, while looking forward to the escort staff coming to relieve this embarrassment with a stretcher and a first-aid kit as soon as possible.

"Boss."

However, Jiesi, who was padding Ling Yu's head with her thighs, didn't notice the embarrassment of the young man, and the girl at this time was looking into the distance a little distractedly, and the golden light of dusk gave the skyline a gorgeous border.

"Huh?"

"I want to ...... now Is it OK to reapply? ”

"Hah, that's it."

Ling Yu was stunned for a moment before remembering that Jeunsy was talking about the resignation submitted by Jeunsy when the two were separated before. The black-haired young man smiled helplessly and let out a long sigh of relief.

"If you don't mind continuing to go unpaid, I don't lack a bite to eat for you, although your appetite is a little bigger."

"Poof—what about the gentleman who said yes?" Jesse turned her head, raised her hand to gently pick up the broken hair that was blown away by the wind in her ears, and looked down at the young man in her arms, "Or should I call the boss a multimillionaire who became rich overnight?" ”

"I've never been a gentleman, just a petty citizen." Ling Yu shook his head lightly and let out a breath, as if to avoid Jiesi's gaze, Ling Yu turned his head and looked at the sunset on the horizon, "As for money, I have my use." ”

"Well, anyway, you don't have a dime salary in the Knights, and you won't have so many rules and regulations with the boss." Jesse shrugged her shoulders, revealing a disguised reluctant expression.

"If you don't get it, you'll see that I have more rules than the Knights."

"What could be more rules than the Knights? I've even brushed the toilet. ”

“…… That's not going to ...... There's garlic. Ling Yu looked at Jiesi's serious expression and embarrassed for a while, "How do I feel as if my impression of the knights has collapsed a little bit in my heart." ”

"The Knights are an absolute feudal hierarchy," Jess said without emotional fluctuations, like an emotionless interpreter qì, "a hierarchical society that respects strength can and can best stimulate the latent abilities in human nature." ”

"It's okay......" Ling Yu closed his eyes and didn't make any more evaluations, Jiesi's point of view was not wrong, the comprehensive oppression of the hierarchy and the strength-honoring environment could indeed maximize the survival of the fittest for newcomers, but Ling Yu couldn't accept this kind of living environment that was even harsher than ACA in a sense.

However, just as he was about to end the conversation, Jesse suddenly spoke.

"Boss, have you ever thought about it...... Join the Knights? ”

Ling Yu looked at Jiesi's pupils with some surprise, and after realizing that the girl was not joking, Ling Yu shook her head effortlessly but seriously.

"I won't join the Knights, I don't want to say something nasty, I don't want to criticize you as an outsider with God's perspective, I can only say that the path you want to take is not what I want to take, even if I can't get out of this road, at least I hope that I can live according to my wishes and do some of the things I want to do."

Ling Yu carefully considered her words, trying not to hurt the girl in front of her, because no matter what different opinions she had, this girl was the chief knight of the Knights after all, and it was a matter of course for her to defend the Knights.

"Sure enough...... It's not that easy. ”

Ling Yu's answer was not convincing, but Jeunse stopped persuading and smiled frustratedly—because she felt Ling Yu's protection of herself in her words, and she also saw the young man's unwavering gaze.

It's easy to change yourself, but it's hard to change others, and Jeunese suddenly thinks of a sentence her friend Linya has said to herself, and she suddenly realizes that this sentence may not be used purely in love.

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Ling Yu's logical question pulled Jiesi back from her memories and feelings, Jiesi hesitated, but still reached out and pulled up Ling Yu's left hand lying on the ground, her blue eyes staring at the black lines.

"Because of this."
