Chapter 742: The Heart of Machines
"What do you know about Rob Lucci?"
After a brief silence, Trianne asked again.
"I've never heard of this man, at least not before returning to the First District, and it's said to be the executive officer of MI7's highest operational department. ”
However, he didn't take this matter to heart, he was a person who didn't like to socialize, and he rarely inquired about the inside information of other departments, especially when the identity of the other party involved a confidential department like MI7, and it was normal not to know.
The years of acting alone in the "outside world" have made the "Emperor" understand a truth, the world is vast beyond their imagination, and there are many real ruthless characters outside the coalition government, such as the current most wanted criminal in the coalition government, Archbishop Heliphaus, and the genetically modified warriors of the Barossa group.
He has seen many forces that are beyond the understanding of the coalition government.
The coalition government's grip on the world is waning, and the growing infighting has put the empire in a precarious situation.
And Trian, and the "gods" that the Fishing Boat Club believes in, may have found an opportunity for this.
"It's normal not to have heard of it, because there is no such person in this world."
"He first appeared in Sector 2 and infiltrated the Iris Consortium's castle as an MI7 agent, and I think you've heard that the head of the Gilves family absconded and the entire castle was completely destroyed...... From what I know, he was the sole perpetrator of this, and this supreme operational unit never existed before the destruction of the castle. ”
"You mean he came out of nowhere?"
"Just like the 'zealous citizens', the Void, and Naroud who sabotaged the coalition government's investigation of the 'Sun' in the Third Neutral."
These are all pieces of information provided to them by the members of the Fishing Boat Club and the High Council, and only a very small number of people have access to these insider information.
"Less than a week after the events in Region 2, the Speaker of the Council exercised his prerogative to skip the meeting and passed the law for the creation of a new unit without the knowledge of the majority of parliamentarians."
If someone who doesn't know the timeline turns around and looks into it, they think that the existence of the High Operations Unit and Rob Lucci is a matter of course, but this is not the case, "and he was never our main target before the events of Sector 2. ”
The unexpected enemy led to the complete defeat of the coup in the First District, and their planned enemy did not even show up in this coup, or rather, she did not dare to show up in person in this situation.
"You're trying to say that Rob Lucci, like the god you believe in, is not human?"
"The Emperor" heard the meaning of Trian's words.
Before the collapse of the God and the High Council, the entire world had an anomaly in time, and until now the Internet is still hotly discussing this matter, even the neutral allies outside the coalition government are no exception, if you look at the "coverage" of the ability, the scope of the time anomaly is far beyond the first district shrouded by the gods, and the psionic energy strength of the two sides is not even above the same level.
Even he, who had been crowned the Coalition Government's strongest psionic power, could hardly imagine how much psionic strength it would take to make the entire world's time fall into an anomaly.
"He's not human, but that's not really the secret I'm going to tell you today."
Trianne stared at the Emperor, "The voice in your head is the real target of our original plan, a weakened 'Old God' who is about to be forgotten by the times, she must have never told you the secrets of the Dark Ages, right?" ”
】
Their defeat was a foregone conclusion, but at least in the end, she hoped that the Emperor would be freed from being a puppet.
But her hopes were doomed to fail.
Because the eyes of the "Emperor" flashed red.
This means that the other party has taken over his mind and consciousness, and whatever happens next is not for him to know.
However, this is also the expected ending.
Trianne had fulfilled her promise, and perhaps what she had just said could plant a seed in the puppet's heart, but it was not up to her to control what effect it would ultimately play.
The two sides just looked at each other, and the bottom of the prison was silent.
The red-shrouded eyes stared at her deeply, and then, the electricity swept through Trion's brain, and the rest of her consciousness fell into darkness and silence under the interference of the current.
……
14:21。
The strong smell of coffee awakens the "emperor".
This time there was something special about the way he "woke up".
Instead of waking up from sleep, he suddenly found himself in an unfamiliar environment after a break in consciousness, an anomaly that had happened a few times in the past, but in the words of the mechanic, it was the after-effect of the prosthetic body not being able to blend perfectly.
Prosthetics and psychic abilities are inherently opposed to each other, 99% of psychic people will resemble the symptoms of cyber psychosis even after transplanting a non-military-grade prosthesis, and there is only one psychic person like him who has replaced all the parts of his body, looking at the whole world.
The mechanic said that it was because of his special physique.
However, no matter how special the physique is, it can't completely eliminate the sequelae caused by the fusion of prosthetic body and spiritual energy.
The "Emperor" was determined.
In addition to coffee, there was toast and tarts on the table.
It seems to be a relaxing afternoon tea, which is also in line with his habit all along.
This is one of the few pleasures in his life, when he is in the "outside" action, he will always make some time in the afternoon to taste some local specialties in the local inn or tavern, the mechanic has carefully reserved the function of "taste buds" for him, and only when enjoying afternoon tea, he can relax.
This is to make him remember that he is a human being, not a brain manipulated by metal and machinery.
It's just that the 'Emperor' can't remember exactly when he came here.
The coffee shop business in District 1 is as cold as ever, and he is the only one in the entire hall with a service-oriented AI, and the owner here seems to be acting as a hands-off shopkeeper after handing over the coffee shop to the AI.
As if sensing his gaze, the AI dressed in a proper maid outfit smiled at him and saluted gracefully.
The Emperor always felt that the artificial intelligence in front of him seemed to be different from the type he had seen before.
He scanned the bill.
It's 8.1 watts in total.
There was a twinkle in his eyes, and he settled the bill in less than a second.
He had business to do.
Trianne is imprisoned in the First Ward jail, where she has promised to tell him some untold secrets the next time they meet.
The prison's current warden was one of his few friends, and he should readily accede to his request.
The Emperor decided on his next plan, but when he contacted the warden, he was stunned.
Trianne is dead.
It seems to be due to a malfunction in the psionic research institute's instruments.
The warden said that this was the best ending for such a heinous prisoner.
There is no painful, quiet death.
Even the cellmates next door to her did not find out that she was dead.
