Chapter 113

At this moment.

Firefly was a bit bewildered.

If she didn't dream, she would have suspected she hadn't woken up yet.

Because the scene before her was very similar to her previous behavior.

Giving her a very strong sense of déjà vu.

This feeling was really...

Too strange.

Suddenly, Firefly felt danger.

Her "Sam" mech had already transcended the category of ordinary mechs, and her perception of danger was extremely sensitive.

The moment the high-energy reaction appeared, she detected it.

And dodged instantly.

Boom!

Looking back, where she had been standing, only a crater where even the dust had been annihilated remained.

The destructive power was quite astonishing.

"This is definitely not a weapon of the Yepeira Brotherhood!"

Firefly quickly made a judgment.

She had seen their data; it was neither very low-level nor very high-level.

But regardless, it was impossible for them to develop this kind of energy attack.

Outsider?

In a trance, Firefly thought of that possibility.

That genius...

Might have already landed!

Maybe the next step was to destroy Yepeira!

But this was too fast, right?

It was completely different from what the script said.

Firefly didn't think Kafka could find the other party in such a short time.

Just then.

The attack came again, not just one shot, but many, and the power of each shot didn't diminish in the slightest; it seemed the previous attack was just a probe.

If she had dodged it, or hadn't been blown up, this was the main course.

Firefly looked at the energy cannons surging like a barrage and felt speechless.

After all that, this kind of attack could be fired continuously?

In that case, even she, without opening the mech's special mode, probably couldn't match the source of this energy cannon launcher in destructive power.

"Let's probe it, no need to go too deep."

Firefly didn't leave immediately, but continued to speed inward for a distance, then turned on the scan again...

Just when she thought the launcher might be a big guy.

She found she was wrong, and wrong by a long shot.

It wasn't a big guy at all.

It was clearly a "little guy," and not a war machine, but a person!

It's just a pity that the energy field nearby was completely chaotic, so even with a mech, she couldn't detect what the person there looked like.

So she couldn't be entirely sure that this person was that genius.

Just thinking about it.

The energy cannon changed, becoming an energy beam!

And...

The target was her!

Clearly.

The other party could automatically detect her position and convert the attack through her movement trajectory and speed.

Before she arrived, the attack method was an energy cannon.

After detecting that a simple energy cannon couldn't eliminate her, the attack method changed.

This energy beam was extremely dazzling, barely missing Firefly, and even through the mech, she could feel the extremely high heat.

The beam didn't hit her, but hit a distant mountain peak, directly turning the entire mountaintop into dust!

The rocks "sublimated" like ice!

And only then did the explosion caused by the energy aftermath come.

Rumble!

Firefly's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but become more cautious.

Although she could block such an attack, she couldn't say whether it would make her "Entropy Loss Syndrome" more serious after the battle.

After all, the special mode of the "Sam" armor was actually activated at the cost of consuming her life force.

Clearly.

She had no need to risk her life now.

Besides, she was already running out of time.

"I'd better leave, leave it to Kafka."

"Anyway..."

"The part I need to play has already been done by someone else."

Thinking.

Firefly had no intention of investigating further, but prepared to leave directly.

But just then.

The direction from which the energy beam was emitted changed again, making her heart skip a beat.

There wouldn't be another change, would there?

Just as she was thinking this, a sound with a strange rhythm suddenly appeared nearby.

Immediately after, it was an ethereal female voice.

"You're not from the Yepeira Brotherhood, are you? If not, I will stop the attack."

"Otherwise..."

"It won't be as simple as disintegration cannons and disintegration beams."

Firefly froze for a moment and replied quickly, with obvious surprise.

"That 85th genius, turns out... she's a woman?"

That's right.

What else could it be?

Not many people knew her true identity.

Currently in the organization, only Kafka and Elio knew.

People from other forces, even the IPC, when mentioning her, only described her as a tall man wearing a mech.

That's right.

She could be a "man," why couldn't Dr. Lin Qi be a woman?

Absolutely possible!

Technology is so advanced now.

Besides...

Doesn't this just show that Lin Qi's level is very high?

She still needed to be in a mech to cover herself, while the other party actually had a "simulation skin suit," almost fooling everyone.

The truth must be this.

It couldn't be that the world-renowned singer was the culprit here, right?

Robin's whereabouts, although not announced, weren't deliberately hidden; they could be found if one had the heart.

And Firefly had also seen Robin's data and quite liked listening to her songs; no matter what, she didn't want to believe that these were done by Robin.

She would rather believe Lin Qi was a woman!

"Hmm? Hahaha! E-e-e~"

After the unexpected doubt, there was a pleasant laugh.

Just listening to this laugh was like singing.

Very rhythmic.

"Your Excellency?"

Firefly raised her brows, first puzzled.

Then she realized she had really made a mistake.

The one speaking now was Robin.

After the energy attack stopped, the energy fluctuations gradually calmed down, and the scanning system could see more things.

Then, Firefly confirmed again.

The person standing in the center of the square, holding a long-handled microphone, but squatting on the ground, holding her stomach and laughing non-stop, wasn't Robin, who else could it be?

And associating it with the tone just now, it was further corroborated.

For a time.

Firefly felt a bit awkward.

At this time.

Lin Qi was also a bit speechless; he felt his judgment of this mech pilot might have some deviation.

"No!"

"It should be said that the data provided by the IPC is problematic."

"What destruction maniac? Explosion maniac? It sounds like a lunatic, a person without reason."

"And if it were really such a person, there wouldn't be this kind of brain circuit."

"And..."

This mech had a problem.

Through a simple probe, Lin Qi found that this "Sam" was strange in every aspect.

Not only did it not match the data, but the mech itself was also a bit special.

Because Lin Qi found a model similar, or even identical, in the database.

But according to the data, this mech couldn't possibly have this performance.

One can only say...

"The members of the Stellaron Hunters are all highly skilled."

76. Firefly: Leave now, no one will get hurt

The news Lin Qi got from the IPC was that there weren't many members in the Stellaron Hunters organization.

But each one wasn't an ordinary person.

They followed an elite model.

Lin Qi speculated that this might be related to the leader's ability.

After all, the more people to predict, the higher the difficulty.

Lin Qi didn't think this prediction of the future had no upper limit.

If it could really be done...

Either the organization's leader was Nous, who could calculate the future after a certain time through infinite computing power.

Or it was an Aeon.

Clearly.

Neither was possible.

Besides, even Nous had a day when it stopped calculating.

Except for Aha, no other existence would play house with mortals.

So according to his inference, the Stellaron Hunters couldn't predict everything.

The reason he was somewhat obsessed with finding Kafka's traces was also with a testing mentality.

To see if she could calculate him.

And judging by Sam's reaction, she should be able to calculate part of it, but not completely.

However, even so, that predictive ability was likely only achievable by an Emanator.

Come to think of it.

Lin Qi and Robin arrived earlier than Kafka and Firefly.

After learning about the atrocities of the Annihilation Gang and their attempt to rob Lin Qi, Robin completely gave up the idea of reforming them with Harmony.

In fact.

After she landed on the surface, those Yepeira Brotherhood people didn't think about talking properly either.

Plus, Robin had no intention of hiding her tracks at all.

So, almost not long after, the battle started.

It's just that this battle was completely one-sided before Sam arrived.

The disintegration cannon had one good point: it killed very cleanly.

As long as you couldn't block it, after taking one shot, nothing would be left.

Therefore, it wouldn't cause any damage to Robin's body and mind.

Besides...

She wasn't a "rookie" anymore.

She had already experienced countless war scenes; not to say she was very used to it, but at least she didn't change her expression.

Then after a while, the microphone automatically detected the approach of a flying object.

And in the case where the authentication of the identification signal didn't pass, it automatically launched an attack, and even... upgraded!

That is, from an energy cannon to an energy beam.

All this happened very quickly.

In fact, not all flying objects approaching would be attacked; only those that couldn't be identified would be.

These were generally entered into the database.

But clearly.

Sam's mech signal wouldn't be in it.

And when this strange signal appeared, Lin Qi knew.

However, he didn't stop it, but let the battle escalate, mainly wanting to test the strength of Sam's mech.

Because according to the data, the mass-produced mechs of the already destroyed Glamoth Republic wouldn't be this powerful.

Sam's performance clearly exceeded expectations.

According to Lin Qi's previous calculations, being able to dodge the energy cannon barrage already exceeded its design limit, not to mention the faster energy beams.

And judging by the data returned from the surface, the appearance of this mech hadn't changed much.

So...

"The problem is with the pilot?"

After some deduction, Lin Qi didn't continue thinking.

Instead, he used the long-unused Aether Editing to project his figure into the center of the war.

But unlike a general aether projection, this projection had some color and wasn't entirely composed of blue electronic lines.

Lin Qi was too lazy to go down, and by the way, tested his technology.

"Hello, Stellaron Hunter... Sam? Let's just call you that, although I know your real name certainly isn't this, or... you don't have a real name?"

Lin Qi pointed it out mercilessly.

Although there wasn't much data on the Glamoth Republic, quite a few things could be inferred from the remaining literature.

For example, this mech was mass-produced, in very large numbers, and could even rival the Swarm on local battlefields.

Although Lin Qi didn't know how long these mechs would last on average, judging by the war intensity during the Swarm Disaster, a few years was long.

So whether it was the mech or the pilot inside, they were likely consumables.

And the consumption speed was very fast!
