"But the master...... It was of her own free will. In order to get the strength of the force, she is already willing to ......"

"I said I didn't need to!" replied Ashorufat aloud in his head.

"You have to have effective means to control her. Otherwise, as time passes, her gratitude to you will slowly fade, and then she will ......"

"Carrie, I've already said it, and I'm not doing it to find a servant. The alliance with Pinod doesn't necessarily need her...... To be honest, I'm not very confident about this right now. ”

"Huh, what did the master agree to make a deal with her?"

"I just had a feeling that if I refused her request at that time, she might lose her faith in life. Ashrufat replied. "I don't want to use violence to force a person to obey me. ”

"It's a pity that this is the normal law of the world...... And, too, it's too late, master. I've designed the biochemical modification protocol and I've been working on it for two days...... There is no way to stop it now. ”

"Carrie!" Ashruphat snorted.

"However, I used the way the brain's deep will influenced, master, and it didn't have any side effects on her. Carrie explained. "It's entirely up to you to decide this matter, and as long as you choose not to affect her will, she won't be affected. ”

Ashruphat turned his head helplessly.

This room has completely changed. He remembered that when he first came here, everything was in a mess, but now, the whole place was clean and tidy. Those inexplicable machines are hidden by Carrie somewhere.

"How did you carry those things?" Ashruphat asked casually.

"Use this!" With Carrie's voice, a ball flew in front of Ashrufat. It was a metal ball the size of a human head, smooth and shiny, and able to fly freely in the air.

It's not surprising that this thing can fly down - since seeing so many strange things, Ashrufat has cultivated a very good mental quality. But this ball doesn't seem to have hands? This thing can carry those huge machines? Those things are very heavy.

As if to answer his question, the metal ball touched Ashrufat's body. Ashruphat immediately found himself floating, as if he had lost his weight. There was a not particularly strong sticky force where the metal ball came into contact with his body, but now that his body was suspended and he had lost his weight, the ball could easily carry him through the air.

"Carrie!" Ashruphat cried out in his head. The ball disengaged from his body, and the next second, he felt the real sensation of his feet on the ground again.

"How's it going, master, this is a gravity-defying mechanical handling facility. It's a pity that the number is too small, the total number is only a few, otherwise it can play a big role. Carrie said proudly. "However, they are powered by auxiliary power units, so they can't leave the interior of the ship. ”

"But...... There is one more problem. Carrie said suddenly, "Master, I have a proposal. If you can, put the control chip you stole from Wendini in the control center here. That's where AI was before. ”

Ashrufat, of course, had no idea what this meant, or what the consequences of doing so were.

"That's right, master. Carrie continued to explain. "I've got in touch with the whole control system, but the problem is that I'm one with you, and as soon as you leave here, I immediately lose control of it. And I have to consume a lot of computing power in order to control it, so I feel the need to build a secondary control mechanism. You've got the control chip from Wendini, just right. I can reprogram it to control it. ”

"Carrie, I don't understand...... Ashrufat could only admit his defeat. In the past, he just couldn't understand some of the nouns that came up with Carrie, but now he really can't understand the meaning of her whole sentence.

"In a relatively simple and easy-to-understand way, in order to better control here, I suggest that you replace the damaged artificial intelligence with that control chip. ”

On the wall of the room, a door automatically opened. Reluctantly, Ashrufat walked in and came to the same location he had been to before. The shattered AI was quickly taken out by him, and then he put the chip that Wendini had gotten inside. Now he realized that the two were the same size, and the chip could easily fit in.

He returned to his previous room, and the wall behind him immediately closed. If you were a different person, you must not believe that this wall can be opened and closed at will.

"Why don't you make a door here?" asked Ashrufat.

"Because this is the control center, no entrances and exits can be created for security purposes. Only enter when you need it. Wait a minute, master, I'm going to start programming the chip to make it my doppelganger and achieve long-term control of this base. ”

Carrie's voice fell silent. Ashruphat returned to the sink, the room was a confined space, but the air was fresh, and he could even clearly smell the dirt and grass outside. In addition to the sink, there was an arch-like thing in the middle of the room - similar to the "spatial waypoint" he had seen outside of Oron City (although he had only seen the remains of the spatial waypoint last time, he could still deduce the original shape of the object from the wreckage). It should be said that it is not like, but it is the same thing at all.

And he's already feeling the magic. In fact, he himself felt that kind of thing, and with Carrie's help, he called a door directly through the air, and crossed the short distance between Via City and the excavation site with Scarlet to enter his base (for some reason, Carrie kept calling it 'base').

"The host, although it is easy to use, it is a hassle to recharge. Carrie spoke suddenly. "Look at your arm. ”

Ashrufat's arm was already covered with the arm guard of the Red Blood Armor, but he only wore this armguard. In the armguards, there used to be a notch, but now a gem-like thing is embedded with it. According to Carrie, this is the "associated anchor" for the spatial teleportation point. Using this item, he can resonate with the spatial teleportation points inside the base within a certain range and teleport.

"With your current capabilities, it will take about three months to recharge and recover for a teleportation. But here, you can easily teleport outside. So master, I've always advised you to practice your magic more. ”

"What if I practiced more magic?"

"Your increased abilities will speed up the rate of recharging. Carrie replied. "According to my calculations, three months of recharge time can be reduced to two months. ”

Ashrufat was about to answer, but heard a sharp whistle from the sink in the distance.

"Master, the concoction is over. It lasted two and a half days, much earlier than I expected," Carrie said happily. "This kid has a lot of potential. Let's go get something else ready. ”

If Ashrufat were standing by the sink at this moment, he would have noticed that Scarlet, who had been immersed in the green liquid and had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Where is this? Her mind was dazed. It took a short time for her to realize that she was in a kind of green water. Due to her confused thinking, she didn't even realize the reality that "you can't breathe in the water", and she simply looked at the world outside.

Am I in a glass case? A glass water cabinet? She barely realized it, and then she heard the sound of rushing water, green water rushing by. She looked down and saw her body gradually emerging from the green liquid.

After the last, all the green liquid disappeared, the door of the glass case opened, and she completely subconsciously stepped out.

Outside the glass case, a figure was waiting for her.

"Put your clothes on. The figure said. She mechanically took the garment and put it on with an instinctive sluggish movement. In addition to intimate clothing, there was also an unfamiliar set of armor. This time, it was with the help of that figure that she was able to fully put on the red armor.

The armor was not heavy, mostly some kind of light metal, and the other part, especially the joints, was a soft, tough, unknown substance. After putting on this armor, she could clearly feel that all positions were very close to her body, and it did not affect the movement of her body at all.

"Take a break. The figure said. Then a chair appeared beside her, at some point. She sat down and looked around blankly. She looked like she was looking around, but it was just an instinctive gesture. Her mind was in a mess, she didn't actually see anything, she didn't notice anything.

It took a long time for the chaos in her mind to calm down a bit. By the way, who am I? That was the first question that came to her mind, and the answer came immediately.

"Here it is...... What's going on?"

As time passed, her thoughts gradually became clearer, and the memories of the past came to her mind little by little. She suddenly remembered a crucial thing.

That's right...... I was ...... I made a deal with a vampire...... Scarlet turned his head violently and saw the half-glass and half-metal sink he was just in. She remembered that she had taken off her clothes and walked inside. Before she lost consciousness, she remembered that the green liquid suddenly filled the entire sink, and then she lost consciousness.

I'......m still alive? She took a deep breath and turned her head.

The vampire was behind her, staring at her with an indeterminate smile on his lips.

"I ......," she wanted to speak, but immediately lowered her head and looked at her hands. She wore a suit of armour on her hand that she had never seen before, though she immediately recalled the moment she had put it on.

The color and style of this suit of armor are familiar. By the way, that night, she saw that the vampire was also wearing this type of armor. But there are many things that are different, except for the shape and size, this armor is pure metal, and it is not entangled in dark energy.

Scarlet subconsciously touched her mouth, but her teeth didn't change.
