Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 115 NO.0072: Claw Blade

"...Then, this guy died with the two malicious programs that popped up out of nowhere."

On the messy battlefield, Jiang Zhou explained to Black Falcon-136 and Qian Xiaying what happened here before.

Seven points of what he said was true and three points were false—basically, the trajectory of what happened has not changed, but he completely picked himself out, and described Liao Qi and Booker as two human figures malicious program.

Hmm... two malicious programs that popped up out of nowhere, powerful enough to defeat a depth 4 adjuster.

But to be honest, Jiang Zhou didn't expect these two "witnesses" to help prove his innocence after returning to the basic reality. As long as the company investigates carefully, it will definitely find something wrong.

However, Jiang Zhou made up such a lie because he wanted to save them.

Only by concealing the fact that he was blessed by Hecate, together with these "teammates", can the company's investigators rule out their suspicion.

Anyway, his suspicion would definitely be inescapable, and his plan to leave Tartarus by releasing the prisoners of war was doomed to fail.

That being the case, it would be better to take all the suspicions on yourself, and then help these Icarus members to return to the Nord resettlement area safely.

"Is what you said... all true?"

After listening to Jiang Zhou's description, Qian Xiaying unabashedly expressed her doubts.

No matter how you say it, his description seems too unbelievable.

In this regard, Jiang Zhou just shrugged, then pointed to the wreckage of the explosion not far away and said:

"Then why not? Could it be that I killed Aconitum-23?"

In their cognition, "Theseus" should be just a native - in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Jiang Zhou didn't even tell them that he had completed the depth 1 adjustment and transformation.

Qian Xiaying opened her mouth to say something else, but the black falcon-136 who had been silent beside her suddenly asked:

"Then why Aconitum-23 brought you here alone earlier, did he say anything?"

Jiang Zhou shook his head and said:

"I'm not too sure about this... Maybe he wants to find someone who can help him set up a guiding beacon?

"And in his eyes, I happen to be not an official member of the Icarus Liberation Front. Even if I die, it will not affect their subsequent transactions with the organization."

Regarding the reasons given by Jiang Zhou, 136 fell silent again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Qian Xiaying at the side hurriedly smoothed things over.

"B6, don't ask about these things, it's better to follow the breadcrumb mark and go back now... Since there are two things that can defeat the depth 4 adjuster here, it is possible to spawn a third at any time Come on. If we do, we'll all die."

As she spoke, she grabbed 136's hand and wanted to pull him away.

But 136 didn't move, but continued to look at Jiang Zhou. After a long time, he asked in the most solemn tone ever before:

"Since you said that, Theseus...do you still believe that you are a member of Icarus? I hope to hear you tell the truth."

Regarding this question, Jiang Zhou's expression instantly became serious.

"I agree."

After a long time, he nodded and answered.

After finishing speaking, the two stared at each other for a long time—because the prosthetic eye of Black Falcon-136 was shaped like two metal bottle caps, Jiang Zhou couldn't read any emotion from the other's eyes.

But Jiang Zhou's answer was the truth - although he himself was not sure whether it was influenced by Liao Qi's thinking.

However, even if it is just a purely rational analysis of Icarus' organizational program, at least from the perspective of an "ancient man" from a hundred years ago, the future planned by this rebellious organization is better than that ruled by the current super-corporate alliance More than a hundred times.

"Okay, B6. Don't ask any more, let's go back according to the previous plan..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more serious, Qian Xia Ying grabbed 136's arm, as if afraid of the two of them fighting.

But 136 directly raised his hand and pulled back his elbow - he completely ignored Qian Xia Ying, but continued to look at Jiang Zhou and said:

"I want to say again, the things we said when we first met... From the very beginning, you were the one who was innocently involved by us. I can understand that you volunteered to join Icarus before to a large extent. It is for self-protection. So, at this time, you are fully qualified to give up this responsibility."

No one will blame you for this.

"136!"

Qian Xiaying at the side directly raised her tone, as if she wanted him to stop talking.

But 136 was unmoved, just looked straight at Jiang Zhou, waiting for his final answer.

"I'm part of Icarus, there's no denying that, and I'm honored."

In the end, Jiang Zhou replied like this.

Seeing this, 136 finally nodded, and then he turned to look in the direction of the warehouse door and said:

"Okay, I see... let's go."

Qian Xiaying at the side finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked to Jiang Zhou's side, patted his shoulder and said:

"What are you still doing, boy, let's go!"

Leaving from a messy battlefield, several people walked on the way back.

During the period, Jiang Zhou restrained his urge to use the Mingyue mark to shorten the distance, and also restrained the urge to tell the whole story that he had been blessed by the goddess of the moon.

In order to prevent them from being released as captives, there will be no additional obstacles, the less they know about these things, the better.

But there are other pieces of information that Jiang Zhou still intends to tell.

It can also be regarded as a reminder of the Black Falcon-136.

"By the way, brother 136. Aconitum-23 told me a lot of things along the way, including some information about people born with adjustment. Although I don't know if you have heard of it, but in short, let me talk about it first.

"Your old club, it seems that the term "old club" is not quite accurate... In short, the idea of ​​innately adjusting people developed by Heiyu Gene Editing Studio was to use biological protein chips to replace brain plug-ins or even brain-computer interfaces. .In fact, many low-level adjustments and transformations of the brain can be integrated, including..."

Jiang Zhou talked endlessly, but then...

"Pfft!"

After hearing the sound, Jiang Zhou first felt a chill in his chest, and then felt that the warmth began to spread there, and gradually became hot.

He lowered his head slowly, and three extremely sharp claws pierced his chest.

If it was in this position, then probably his heart and part of his lungs were directly smashed like a water bag.

Jiang Zhou thought so.

He was surprisingly calm at the moment.

It's not that he is not afraid of death, but subconsciously, he has suppressed his excitement through the puppet circuit, so as not to let the blood drain too quickly.

If this injury was suffered by Liao Qi, it should only be regarded as a slight slander—but if it was Liao Qi, it would be impossible to be stabbed so easily, or even if it was stabbed, there is a high probability that it would be difficult to pierce the subcutaneous armor It hurts.

But if it was him, it would undoubtedly be a fatal injury.

Well, the dead kind.

After judging the condition of the injury, Jiang Zhou simply came to a conclusion.

As for who made the stab, Jiang Zhou didn't even bother to look back to confirm.

"Should I...should I ask...for...why?"

Swallowing the blood in his throat with great effort, Jiang Zhou asked Black Falcon-136 behind him.

"sorry……"

In this regard, the other party lowered his head, as if he was confessing something, and said with trembling lips:

"But I know that you intend to stay in the company, and I also know that you have been implanted into the puppet circuit... I really can't think of any other way."
