"Angelica!" Irina said to the experimental area through a microphone outside the glass isolation wall, "You need to undergo a physical compatibility test immediately. You cannot have a large mental fluctuation. You will be injected with a stabilizer now."

Angelica let go of Helot: "Wait for me, I'll buy you a drink."

Helot touched the back of his head that had been hit by a bottle in Angelica's memory space: "You can drink, but don't drag me into a fight again."

"Do you think I need to drag you into a fight?" Angelica gave Helot a disdainful look: "Go out and wait for me."

"good."

Helot walked out of the experimental area, and a robotic arm extended from above inserted a needle into the back of Angelica's neck, and a ball of green liquid was injected into it.

Angelica lay flat on her back, her eyes flashing red again.

Helot came back to Irina's side: "Aunt Angelica should be fine now."

"There are no obvious problems now." Irina looked at the signals and numbers given by various instruments on the console in front of her. Other staff members continued to gather more data in her hands: "Our understanding of space is still too superficial. There were no problems with the experiment before, but it went wrong at such a critical moment. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would have lost Angelica forever."

"It's also because Aunt Angelica's vitality is strong enough, otherwise her body wouldn't be able to sustain the input of the spatial free radical formula."

Helot observed Angelica during the test. As the console gave different instructions, her body switched between bionic mode and combat mode. The process was smooth and there was no incompatibility.

The most difficult task is to complete the spatial synchronization, and the next step is to add extended function modules. With Tomorrow Group’s technical reserves, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

But in order to prevent other accidents from happening, Helot continued to stay here and accompany his mother to conduct various tests of the fourth-generation mechanical transformation technology.

Irina also takes time to help her son with the design of the fourth-generation mechanical cyborgs, which he is leading.

Time passed quickly without us noticing.

Ten days later, Angelica finally completed all the laboratory tests of the basic module, and the next step was a longer comprehensive test. This required Angelica to return to normal life and collect data on schedule, discover problems bit by bit, and then solve them.

After the final assembly and test run of the fourth-generation mechanical cyborg was completed, Helot finally walked out of the Tomorrow Group Building and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although industry has caused serious air pollution in Covenant City, it has more of a breath of life than the air in the laboratory that has been filtered and disinfected layer by layer.

A hand closed around Helot's arm.

It's Angelica.

She was wearing a sophisticated women's traveling outfit, a sun hat, and white lace gloves.

Shielding the sun with his hands, he looked at the busy road and said, "I haven't been out for a while. I feel like there have been a lot of new changes outside, even the fashion styles have changed. I hope the bar is still the same bar. I still miss the old days."

"Last time you treated me to a drink, this time I'll treat you."

Helot stretched out his hand to stop a taxi, but several black cars with the Imperial Military Police flag on their front came rushing towards them. The taxi driver who was about to stop by the roadside was so scared that he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and ran away!

A group of Imperial Military Police rushed out of the car, led by Melissa.

When Angelica saw Melissa, she let go of Helot's arm and said, "It seems that we can't have this drinking party."

Melissa walked up to Helot, she only glanced at Angelica, then stepped forward and whispered in Helot's ear: "Something happened in the palace, His Majesty asked you to see him immediately."

"What's up?"

"It's not clear yet. The entire palace is on lockdown."

Helot said to Angelica, "Manager Angelica, I have something urgent to deal with, so I'll leave the business matters to you."

Angelica smiled and said, "President Irina specifically instructed that your affairs, Your Excellency the Duke, must be given priority. Please rest assured to leave your tasks to me."

Helot said goodbye to Angelica and got into the Imperial Military Police's car.

Melissa looked at Angelica again and got into the car as well.

The convoy moved forward, honking its horn to drive away the vehicles in front, speeding towards the direction of the palace.

After walking for a while, the Tomorrow Group Building disappeared in the rearview mirror. Melissa said to Helot: "Please forgive me for investigating Angelica. My intuition told me that she smelled something different. She is definitely not an ordinary person."

Helot became interested: "What did you find out?"

Melissa replied: "Although Angelica has a complete resume and there are no flaws, I found this."

After saying that, Melissa gave Helot an old photo.

Take a photo of Scar-Eye Daddy with a group of children, and Angelica is among them.

Helot pointed and said, "This child looks a bit like Angelica."

"I think they look alike, too. Later I did some research and found out that the child is also called Angelica." Melissa said as she gathered the information: "This is a photo taken over 30 years ago. The child in the photo should be in his 40s now."

Helot: "The Angelica we just saw was no more than thirty."

Melissa expressed her judgment: "I suspect she is a mechanical modified person from the Tomorrow Group."

Helot: "Even if she is a mechanical cyborg, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. Tomorrow Group is responsible for the research and development of mechanical cyborgs."

"Let me continue..." Melissa pointed at the scarred old man in the photo and said, "This man is one of the founders of the Blood Fist Gang and the first boss. Now the Blood Fist Gang is very powerful at the dock and nearby, and controls many smuggling channels.

The Blood Fist Gang was almost wiped out by another gang called the Silver Wolf Gang. It was Angelica who saved the Blood Fist Gang, and then Angelica soon joined the Silver Wolf Gang. Later, Angelica massacred the Silver Wolf Gang, killing hundreds of people, and she also died in that battle. "

"Dead?" Helot looked at the photo and said, "Then she has nothing to do with Angelica from Tomorrow Group. She just looks alike and happens to have the same name."

Hearing that Melissa didn't speak, Helot raised his head and saw Melissa staring at him: "Is there any problem?"

Melissa looked at Helot for a while, then laughed: "It seems that I have worked in vain. Based on my understanding of you, you would not say such a thing. You have known her identity for a long time, which made me worry that the Tomorrow Group was trying to use Angelica to monitor you."

Helot was very embarrassed: "I know Angelica's identity. She is the fourth generation of mechanical cyborg of Tomorrow Group."

Melissa's eyes widened: "She, she is the fourth generation mechanical cyborg who is testing the machine?"

"Yes, the fourth generation of mechanical cyborgs. Don't tell anyone."

Melissa covered her mouth: "I will definitely not tell anyone. But..."

Melissa knew that when Helot worked in the engineering department of Tomorrow Group, Angelica was the head of that department.

At that time, Angelica should have been the third-generation mechanical cyborg of Tomorrow Group. It was obviously unreasonable to put such an important group asset in the charge of an after-sales department.

Unless the relationship between Tomorrow Group and Helot is far deeper than the outside world knows.

At this time, Helot said: "You will know everything later."

"I'll wait for you to tell me..."

The convoy drove to the palace.

Helot had never seen such a large-scale martial law in the palace.

Outside the palace walls, all the defensive magic towers that were originally hidden underground rose up, adding a layer of magic defense wall to the walls. The defense wall curved upward and finally closed, forming a giant defense shield that enveloped the entire palace.

Moreover, the protective surface of the defensive wall actually faces inward, which shows that something big has indeed happened to the palace wall.

The royal guards have taken control of all areas surrounding the palace. Groups of guards are searching room by room with hunting dogs, and all suspicious persons are concentrated in the square in front of the palace.

Helot and Melissa got out of the car and were allowed to enter the palace after passing a series of tests.

There were guard posts lined up inside the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids were under strict surveillance, waiting to be interrogated one by one.

Every house was carefully searched.

Just looking at the appearance of the search personnel, it seemed that they didn't know what they were looking for, and could only put everything they thought was suspicious in a designated place.

Did you lose something important?

With full of doubts in their hearts, Helot and Melissa met Emperor Bradley under the guidance of an eunuch.

There were many scattered porcelain pieces and broken wood on the carpet, and it was obvious that the emperor had just been very angry.

Seeing Helot and Melissa, Emperor Bradley pointed to the surviving chair and said, "Sit down!"

Helot sat down and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Emperor Bradley had been observing Helot since he entered the room. He waited for a while before saying, "When I asked you to investigate the Crown Prince's death... I gave you a box of tungsten needles. Do you still have them?"

Helot took out the small box containing the tungsten needles: "I always keep these things with me."

Emperor Bradley took the box, opened it and saw that the tungsten needles were all there, then looked at Helot and asked, “You haven’t given me a clear conclusion about the death of the crown prince yet, you only said it was related to the executioner.

Now I want to know, how far have you investigated this case?"

Helot asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Helot is now the Duke of Clauland. Both his status and the power he holds are no longer the same as before.

If he doesn't want to investigate, the emperor of the empire can't do anything to him.

Emperor Bradley restrained his momentum, and after a while he told the truth: "When Aleister was killed, some of the tungsten needles taken from his body were stolen. Last night, all the tungsten needles in my hands were stolen.

These are all that are left!”

Helot asked: "Your Majesty knows that someone wants to steal the tungsten needles, so they must be placed very secretly. Who has the ability to steal those tungsten needles?"

"Yes... this is the point! Who can steal things from me continuously? Who can kill the crown prince in the palace? Who is the executioner beside me?

This is what I asked you to check! There is no one in the palace that I trust."

Helot also looked at Emperor Bradley and said, "Your Majesty, if you want me to investigate, I will start with you. If I can't find out anything here, please don't embarrass me anymore.

If you really hide the tungsten needles in one place and don't take them out frequently, it is impossible for others to know where they are. If you want to keep the tungsten needles secret, you will hide them separately, and it is impossible for others to steal them all at once.

Your Majesty, you are absolutely responsible for the theft of so many tungsten needles at once!"

In response to Helot's question, Emperor Bradley's eyes subconsciously dodged.

Then he stood up and opened a door in the wall.

"You come with me. Emma Lu Bailey should follow too."

Emperor Bradley walked into the secret door, followed by Helot and Melissa.

Walk down a long flight of stairs to reach a secret room.

The layout of the secret room was like an old-fashioned wizard's cottage, with bookshelves filled with books and a large blackboard hung on one wall, covered with densely drawn human anatomy diagrams and complex magic symbols.

On the magic experiment table, reagent bottles, dissection tools, and plotters were placed in different categories...

In the middle of the secret room was an operating table, and there seemed to be a corpse covered under a white cloth.

Bradley lifted the white cloth with a complicated expression.

Helot glanced at the person under the white cloth and asked, "This is Crown Prince Aleister."

Melissa was very surprised: "How can this be Aleister? He has been dead for many years. It shouldn't be...he is really Aleister!"

Melissa had seen Aleister before, and when she saw the man's appearance clearly, she immediately confirmed that he was indeed the former crown prince of the empire.

It’s just that Aleister has been dead for more than four years, but this body... doesn’t look like a corpse at all.

The skin and muscles are not stiff and life functions are still functioning.

Bradley saw Helot's reaction and said, "It seems that you have found out more than I thought."

"Not much, actually." Helot walked up to Aleister, stretched out his hand, and used death to probe life: "The two bloodlines have reached a balance in his body, but the golden bloodline was extracted, leaving the mighty bloodline to dominate and create this immortal body. It's just that the mighty bloodline can repair the body, but not the consciousness. Aleister is now in a state of brain death."

Emperor Bradley looked at his beloved son and said, "Knowing that he was not completely dead, I have been trying to find a way to revive him. For this purpose, I found the best doctors and gave them tungsten needles for research. I gave them to them personally every time and took them back immediately after they had used them.

Someone broke in last night, killed all the doctors, and stole all the tungsten needles.

I was reading in the room upstairs at the time and didn’t notice anything.”

"Where is the doctor's body?" Helot asked.

Emperor Bradley pointed to the side, where a blank wall opened up, revealing another workshop with five doctors lying on the ground. All of them were killed by a single blow to their vital points, and not only did they not struggle, they didn't even bleed much.

Bradley said, "There is a passage leading to the outside of the palace. After they come in, I will seal the passage completely and let them go after taking back the tungsten needle. Someone among them must have leaked the secret, but was silenced by the thieves."
