Two weeks later.
Ghost Sword's secret residence is hidden in a room inside a small garbage mountain.
Lupine was sitting at the workbench, carefully wiping a metal object on the table.
This thing looks like an RPG, but smaller, only half the length of an arm. The whole body is frosted silver, except for the "slug" on the top, which occasionally flashes a dark gold luster under the dim light.
This dark golden gadget is the most precious accessory obtained from the Heavy Artillery King - a micro fission warhead!
After modification, these silver-white devices outside are specialized detonators.
At the other end of the workbench, there is an old-fashioned physical screen.
The picture on the display screen turned out to be a spacious and bright medical room.
The medical room was very quiet. In the life-support capsule filled with translucent green potion, Xi Xin was unconscious and covered with tubes. If it weren't for the old man with white temples kneeling and waiting on the futon beside him, he would open his eyes and look at her from time to time, which would even give people the illusion that this was a still picture.
"Crunch."
at this time.
The door to Luping's room suddenly opened.
But no one walked in.
Lu Ping seemed not to be surprised, and spoke to the air: "How is it? Is there any progress in the maintenance today?"
"good."
The voice of Ghost Sword sounded out of thin air.
The next moment, a ball of light distorted, forming a faint silhouette of a girl, standing behind Lupin's chair.
"The repair of the Steel Tyrannosaurus will have to wait for a while... More than 80% of the people in the entire Garbage Bug Alliance died, and the rest dare not come forward. Various parts have been too difficult to buy recently...
“But fortunately, the materials needed to repair this Aurora Company’s experimental body were finally gathered this morning!
"By the way, when I walked in just now, did you see any flaws?"
Lu Ping shook his head subconsciously after hearing this, and immediately his eyes lit up, "There is indeed no flaw... In other words, this body has been completely repaired? Can you start helping me with the assassination?"
"Theoretically, yes." The looming girl nodded slightly, "With the perfect invisibility of this body, I am very confident that I can sneak into the core area of the Aurora Building and help you assassinate the woman named Xi Xin."
"Okay, let's prepare with both hands." Lu Ping nodded, placing his palm on the silver-white cylindrical device and rubbing it gently, "I will be waiting for news from you outside the Aurora Building... If you fail, remember to quickly regain your consciousness. Move it out, once this thing detonates, it will not distinguish between friend and foe."
"It's not a big deal." Guima Daoji shrugged.
"When to set off?"
"Let me debug it at the end...or, tonight?"
————
Nine p.m.
metropolitan area.
In fact, for Neptune City, where dark clouds persist all year round, there is no substantial difference between day and night.
However, human beings need a regular schedule after all, so artificial lights in urban areas act as day and night regulators.
From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., all city lights will be brighter!
At other times, the lights will be dimmed, and only necessary lights such as street lights, floating vehicle guidance lines, landmark buildings, and billboards in prime locations where land is at a premium are allowed to remain bright.
Aurora Building.
The Aurora Building, shaped like a sun scepter, can be considered one of the landmark buildings, and it is still radiant even at night. Aurora-like beams of light flowed on the outer wall, winding from bottom to top, and merged into the top of the scepter, where a huge artificial gemstone was shining brightly on the top of the building.
But the Aurora Building is getting brighter! On the contrary, it made the surrounding buildings seem to be hidden in the shadows.
At this moment, there is another building only a hundred meters away.
On the edge of the smooth exterior wall, a figure that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye is pressed against the glass, motionless!
Lupine maintains his hunter form.
His body has long been mimicked and integrated with the surrounding environment... The fission warheads and launchers that cannot be disguised are pressed between his body and the building, and they are almost invisible from other directions.
It can be hung on the outer wall because Lupine has partially loaded the octopus's suction cups on his fingertips to firmly attach himself.
For today's plan, Lu Ping and Ghost Sword have been carefully preparing for two weeks, and all the necessary equipment has been prepared in advance! For example, Lupine has miniature headsets in his ears and thin contact AR glasses in front of his eyes, which allow him to keep track of the progress of the Ghost Sword's infiltration into the building.
"It should be right here." The calm voice of Ghost Saber Princess came to my ears.
Through her contact lens, Lu Ping indeed saw that her perspective had now reached the upper floors of the Aurora Building. In front of him was a pure white and clean corridor, with a closed metal door at the end.
】
"The next step is to be patient and wait for the opportunity."
Both of them were very patient, because Ghost Sword had already invaded the Aurora Building's surveillance system, and after so many days of continuous observation, the two of them had already figured out the pattern.
This medical room is now definitely the highest security level place in the Aurora Building!
I don't know why the other party values Xi Xin so much... In short, not only the patrolling security robots can't enter this medical room at will, but even the undead executives of Aurora Company can't get close! In the room, apart from the half-dead Xi Xin, there was only the eldest elder of the Kawamura family, "Kawamura Iezuru" himself.
Kawamura Iezuru...
According to the information from Ghost Saber Princess, the Kawamura family believes in the God Lord [Plass]. This God Lord is not ranked very high in Neptune City, only in the thirties, and Kawamura Iekuru is already the strongest in the family. A strong man, a fifth-turn immortal!
As an immortal, he had no need to eat or drink, but this old guy had the habit of drinking. Every day at midnight, he would always ask someone to bring a pot of special sake.
We can only take advantage of that opportunity and slip in the moment the door opens!
In order to prevent unexpected changes, Lu Ping and Ghost Sword arrived a full three hours in advance. At just nine o'clock in the evening, they were both in place.
Time passes minute by minute.
The boring wait seemed particularly long.
"By the way, Brother Hunter, why do you insist on killing this female stranger?" Ghost Sword's bored voice sounded in Lu Ping's ears.
She is a cyber warrior. When she speaks, she only transmits fluctuations in thought data and converts them into sounds, so she does not have to worry about exposing herself when she speaks.
"It's just some personal grudges." Lu Ping sighed softly, as if he didn't want to elaborate.
In fact, there was a hint of awkwardness in his heart.
indeed! Xi Xin does know the secrets of the Crystal Palace, including the coordinates of the Life Canyon where the Crystal Palace is located, as well as secrets such as Poseidon Cult, Evolution Serum, etc., especially the latter, which is a derivative secret of Lupine's biological editor.
And she did participate in the rebellion in the Crystal Palace, and her subordinates also had a lot of blood debts...
But having said that, Xi Xin is already in quite a miserable condition!
In order to escape from the Crystal Palace, half of her skull was blown open by a slave chip. Later, she escaped to Neptune City, where she was captured as an alien slave and implanted with a chip again. In order to escape, she blew up her own brain a second time. head.
After the brain was blown to pieces twice, even if it could be regrown with the power of the Hexagonal Salamander, how much of those secret memories would actually be left?
If all memories are lost, can the regenerated brain and personality be regarded as another innocent girl?
Not to mention that now, she has fallen into the hands of the undead...
The undead ability of the Kawamura family is a weird ritual that involves burning blood to find people.
Whether it was Kawamura Jujiro before or Kawamura Iezuru now, they have tried every means to keep Xi Xin alive, turning her into a continuous blood production machine...the purpose is to find herself.
In the past two weeks, Lu Ping knew clearly that Kawamura Iezuru used the collected blood to try to find himself more than once, but the rituals ended in failure!
The blood used in each ritual is measured in tons!
Xi Xin, as a genetically modified person, obviously has the super resilience of the Mexican axolotl, and also enjoys luxurious medical treatment. However, he has been unconscious, which may be related to the long-term and massive blood loss.
It would be better to die than to live like this.
"If you were somewhere else, I wouldn't have to kill you. Maybe I could check the remaining memories first..." Lu Ping thought to himself, "Unfortunately, you are now captured by the fifth-level undead, and the fifth-level undead ...I’m not sure how to deal with him either. There is no other way but to assassinate him.”
With a slight shake of his head, Lupine threw away the hesitation that flashed in his heart.
Kill Xi Xin, this is the best solution at present!
