Chapter 157

83. Firefly jumps ship? Silver Wolf: The Stellaron Hunters won't disband, will they?

Lin Qi was preparing to leave, and hearing someone call him, he stopped again.

Looking back.

It was "Sam" speaking.

But even Lin Qi knew that "Sam" was just a code name, or the name of the mecha.

The pilot inside the mecha definitely doesn't have this name.

Come to think of it.

After separating from the Stellaron Hunters last time, because he was interested in the mecha of the Glamoth Republic, Lin Qi looked for some information.

He learned some things.

For example.

The purpose of building this mecha was to fight against the Swarm.

Even...

Its building materials were extracted from the Swarm.

Therefore.

If there are no accidents, these humanoid mechas are eight or nine out of ten tainted with the characteristics of the Swarm.

Maybe not much, but there must be some.

Perhaps this is the reason that allowed it to break through the upper limit?

Lin Qi guessed at the time.

Of course.

It is more likely to be the Path.

After knowing that Elio walks on the Path of Finality, Lin Qi guessed that "Sam," or this group of Stellaron Hunters, might all be on this Path.

As for "Sam's" request...

"Is your mecha broken, or is there a problem with you yourself?"

Lin Qi didn't agree immediately.

Instead, he asked this.

"..."

Firefly was silent for a while, a bit stunned.

Mainly because Lin Qi's answer made her a bit surprised.

Guessed it so quickly?

Thinking about it.

She didn't prepare to hesitate anymore; anyway, Lin Qi had probably already seen it.

And even if she didn't explain now, after going to the dream space later, she couldn't wear mecha all the time, right?

"Doctor, the mecha is fine, it's me myself..."

When she finished speaking, her voice had changed from a thick male voice to a weak female voice.

Looking closely again.

The tall humanoid mecha disappeared.

Replacing it was a delicate girl.

"Truly... didn't expect it."

Lin Qi saw that the pilot of "Sam" was actually a girl, and couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

After all, from the previous contact, she was still quite "violent."

Not a single female characteristic could be seen.

Instead, she was more like a combat maniac.

However, thinking about it, this "gap moe" characteristic is likely a special plot character.

"Tell me, I might not be able to help you. However... there is another genius here, an expert in the field of life—Ruan Mei; I don't know if you have heard of her?"

Lin Qi replied.

Upon hearing the first half of Lin Qi's words, Firefly couldn't help but be disappointed.

If even such a genius couldn't do anything, then following the script, could it really be certain?

Anyway, from the current contact, Elio's prediction ability has failed repeatedly here at Lin Qi's.

That is to say, Elio's ability might not even be as good as Lin Qi's.

But just when Firefly was disappointed, Lin Qi changed his tone, making her eyes light up again. Ruan Mei?

Of course she had heard of her.

In order to treat her illness, after waking up, she checked a lot of information.

Among them, naturally, there was this genius.

It's not that she hadn't thought about finding her for help.

But the sea of stars is so big, how could it be so easy to find a genius?

Besides.

She and the person aren't familiar, so why would the person help her?

It makes no sense.

It seemed that Lin Qi saw Firefly's worry and explained again.

"Rest assured, if others look for Ruan Mei, she might not necessarily agree, but if I ask her for help, she definitely won't refuse."

"Whatever problem you have, just say it; if even Ruan Mei can't solve it, then in the whole sea of stars, there is probably no one else who can solve it."

Ruan Mei is not a doctor, but she is more proficient in special illnesses than the most powerful doctors.

Because these are often related to life.

Firefly clearly understood this.

"It's like this, I am actually not a normal human; I was created in batches for the purpose of being a weapon, used to deal with the Swarm, or to maintain the Glamoth Empire, no... it should be the border of the Republic."

Firefly paused and continued, "But we were born with defects; in order to prevent weapons from losing control after the war, every Glamoth Iron Cavalry suffers from Entropy Loss Syndrome, and their physical structure will fall into irreversible chronic dissociation."

"How should I put it, this illness won't make me lose my ability to act all at once; I can still run, jump, and communicate with others, but as time goes on, I might slowly disappear."

When she finished speaking.

Firefly was a bit sad.

Because she didn't know if her illness could still be saved.

Actually.

Regarding "Entropy Loss Syndrome," the Republic had a solution and did a lot of research.

It's just that these studies were always top secret, and not many people knew about them.

And with the destruction of the Republic, this secret was completely covered up, even if it were a Memokeeper, I'm afraid they wouldn't know.

Therefore.

This Entropy Loss Syndrome became an incurable disease that plagued Firefly.

On the other side.

Lin Qi listened to Firefly's narration silently without making a sound.

First of all.

He must admit that this illness is very special; he hasn't heard of it, nor has he seen it.

But is that all?

Lin Qi had been waiting for Firefly's follow-up.

But after waiting for a while, she didn't speak again, as if waiting for Lin Qi's answer, or "judgment."

As a result.

Lin Qi's answer made her stunned.

Only two words.

"Just this?"

"Ah?"

At this moment, Firefly didn't know whether she should be stunned or surprised.

What is meant by "just this"? ===== CHAPTER 158 =====
