"When did you start..."
Seeing Booker suddenly appear out of the air, Jiang Zhou was stunned for a moment.
Not only the optical camouflage, thermal optical camouflage, but also the other party's magnetic field signal when the prosthetic body is operating is completely blocked. With my own observation methods, I couldn't find any clues at all.
But how is it done?
After a brief shock, Jiang Zhou suddenly recalled what Booker had said before.
It was Booker's plan when he was discussing how to sneak into Theseus Freight Company and get back the multi-purpose printer.
"Hyaena type quantum camouflage device..."
Jiang Zhou murmured and put down the "Scorpio" in his hand, and at the same time put away the weapons floating around him - although it was shocking for the other party to suddenly appear in his home, it was obvious that the other party had no ill intentions towards him. Otherwise, the other party would not have spoken so directly and exposed his position in advance.
If there is really any malicious intent, with this concealment ability, no one will notice until he dies.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou frowned and said:
"So, you have reached depth 4 now?"
"The day is a lot earlier than I thought."
In response to Jiang Zhou's question, Booker shrugged and answered, which was considered an admission.
Along with his movements, the full-coverage silver armor inlaid with black edges cracked piece by piece like scales, and gradually deformed and combined on his body surface. In the end, they turned into gray clothes and accessories that looked like unpainted gray molds.
In addition to those that turned into clothes, many remaining redundant parts transformed like a Rubik's Cube into a lead-gray metal suitcase, lying quietly at his feet.
Next, as if the model was loaded with material rendering, Booker's whole body, including the suitcase placed on the floor, was instantly dyed with normal color and texture.
As a result, Booker at this moment looks no different from a company white-collar worker in his early thirties - he even wears a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, Also clipped on a nicotine atomizer.
"Although it is indeed rude to break into your home directly like this, as allies who need to explain to each other later, it is still important to leave a deep first impression."
Booker said this and found a random chair in the room to sit down. The wooden chair immediately made an overwhelming "creak" sound - although the other person looked like a normal person at the moment, in fact this was just a mimicry.
An important symbol of Depth 4 - complete prostheticization except for the biological brain.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhou, who had retracted his weapon, also sat back on the sofa. He stared at the rickety chair with some worry, and then said:
"I must admit, your first impression is indeed very profound..."
After prolonging the ending to give himself enough time to think, Jiang Zhou finally decided to go straight to the point:
"So, you have actually reached Depth 4 a long time ago? And you have been hiding your strength before?"
The activation authority of the Icarus universal printer has always been in Liao Qi's hands, but now because there is no way to use Liao Qi's mandala password, Booker has no way to upgrade to a deep level even if he has a full set of printing permissions. 4 is.
In this case, there is only one possibility - the other party has actually reached depth 4 long ago, but has been hiding this before.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but feel a burst of sullenness from his heart.
If you have the strength of Depth 4, what have you been doing?
In the battle of "Siege of Theseus", if you could take action in your current state, it wouldn't have wiped out all the elites of the organization...
Although if this were the case, then he would not take over this body from the original owner. But even so, Liao Qi's anger still surged to his head instantly.
Probably sensing Liao Qi's excitement, Booker sighed and said:
"It's not that I'm hiding my strength, or at least it's not the kind of hidden strength you imagine... but before that, I was only allowed to use weapons that didn't exceed depth 3 - modularity is the characteristic of the Perseus path. Almost all adjustments and transformations in this upgrade path are completed by installing various modules. Even after the adjustments are completed, those modules can be removed at any time.
"When I came to the Nord settlement area, I only brought the Aegis module with depth 3 strength. Therefore, I could only display the depth 3 combat level."
The reason why Perseus Path often appears as a favorite in the competition for the top three in those forums that are keen on debate. To a large extent, this upgrade path has a small impact on the adjuster's mental index. This makes many high-level adjusters famous for walking this path in the history of network wars. Therefore, there are enough legendary stories left on this path and enough achievements that can be analyzed.
At least it's not like the Icarus Path. Due to severe mental index pollution, the appearance is basically tied to keywords such as "madness", "suicide attack", and "time bomb".
However, Jiang Zhou really didn't expect that Perseus Road could actually dismantle the parts he had already adjusted...
Perhaps this is the reason why the Perseus path has a small impact on the mental index - some high-level adjustments and transformations can be removed at any time to reduce the mental pressure of the prosthetic body on people?
"Only allowed..."
Jiang Zhou repeated this sentence.
Compared with the characteristics of Perseus' path, Jiang Zhou cared more about Booker's words.
If he understood correctly, Booker needs permission if he wants to use his deep 4-level adjustments.
A Depth 4 adjuster, even in an Olympus enterprise like Pluto Deep Diving, is a backbone level combatant - similar to the Aconitum-23 that was defeated in the Abyss Dark Web, Depth 4 At this level, he has become the deputy captain of the elite force "Wolfsbane".
As a depth 4 adjuster of Perseus Path, Booker actually needs "permission" to fully use his power?
"Within the Order of Olympus, there are some unwritten judgment standards for controlling the situation in various resettlement areas."
Regarding Jiang Zhou’s question, Booker explained:
"For those adjusters who are unwilling to accept corporate control, depth 4 is a hurdle. Below this level, it means that they still need to rely on the current society to survive and lack the ability to continue to cause trouble. Therefore, instead of encircling and suppressing them, It is better to allow these people to exist and serve as a release valve for society.”
"However, for those who have completed full-body prosthetics and whose mental state is often not so stable, the company's attitude will be much stricter - the company will basically regard them as potential sources of unrest, and will treat people like wolves as potential sources of unrest. Special operations teams like the Poison Force conduct most of their field missions to deal with such adjusters."
However, although Booker's explanation is very reasonable. But it sounded to Jiang Zhou that the other party was still avoiding his previous question - who on earth was issuing the order as his superior.
But it's obvious that the other party doesn't want to say it now.
In this case, Jiang Zhou was wise enough not to ask any more questions.
After all, the other party had promised before that when all this is settled, he would explain everything clearly to himself - although this statement looks like a flag, comparable to "When this war is over, I will return to my hometown." marry".
But Jiang Zhou didn't believe in this kind of thing. The cliche-like plot was enough to be bloody in that era a hundred years ago. In reality, believing in this is basically no different from feudal superstition.
Instead of delving into similar metaphysics, it is better to focus more on the things in front of you.
For example, the infiltration plan of Theseus's warehouse.
"So, can the Hyena Armor completely avoid the detection equipment in Theseus's warehouse?"
Jiang Zhou asked about this directly without continuing to dwell on issues that were not his concern now.
"Since I can completely avoid your detection, I can avoid the sight of the surveillance equipment in the warehouse. In other words, I won't have any problems sneaking into the warehouse relying on this."
Booker answered.
"What about the pressure sensing system?"
Jiang Zhou continued to ask.
"Using the anti-gravity module, I can float in like a feather."
Jiang Zhou nodded and finally asked the most critical question:
"Then can you apply the invisibility effect of the Hyena Armor to a multi-purpose printer and bring it out without anyone noticing?"
"Well...this is the biggest problem. This invisibility effect only works on myself."
