Chapter 18 Afraid, but still going

"Thank you, Special Agent Fu, for taking the time today."

The mechanical door of the underground laboratory opened, Nero smiled heartily and shook hands with Fu Xi.

Then the two of them boarded the floating vehicle that was already waiting nearby, and the vehicle flew towards the Rhine Biological Camp.

Along the way, Nero always took the initiative to stir up topics, chatting about interesting stories from various places that had nothing to do with business, but he never got into any embarrassment.

In the end, Fu Xi's answer was "think about it again", which was actually equivalent to a direct rejection. Nero could not hide his disappointment but still maintained his dignity with a free and easy attitude.

"boss!"

When the float vehicle landed, they met Tilu and Lynn who were about to leave.

Tiru saw him standing on tiptoes and waving, holding a cardboard box in his other hand.

"This is a gift that Aunt Melissa and the others prepared for me, a special toasted waffle. I haven't had it for a long time."

Lynne made a ladylike curtsy, and Nero asked her.

"How was the job assigned to you earlier?"

"Sorry sir, I haven't had time to deal with it yet."

Lynn hurriedly apologized, but Nero raised his hand to stop her.

"Forget it, today's situation is special, so it doesn't hurt to postpone the work a little longer."

Lynn nodded and walked to Nero's side.

Nero's hands skillfully placed on Lynn's waist, and the close look between the two made Tilu's face blush.

"Then Commissioner Nero, I will take my leave first. Regarding your previous proposal, I will consider it carefully."

"Okay Special Agent Fu, there are still official matters that need to be handled in the camp. Please forgive me for not being able to send them far away...Lynn, you send Special Agent Fu back."

"It's... I'm a special agent, please come with me."

Fu Xi glanced at Lin En. Judging from her appearance and makeup, she seemed charming and charming. Apart from what she heard from Ti Lu, this was the first time the two of them had come into contact.

Another float vehicle parked in the parking lot not far away took over the task of transporting Fu Xi and Ti Lu and was ready.

Lynn walked in front with graceful steps, and the breeze blew up the sleeves of her trumpet-shaped skirt, revealing some metallic lines.

"Miss Lynne has undergone prosthetic transformation?" Fu Xi asked casually.

"Ah...well, in order to facilitate my work needs, I carried out prosthetic transformation on part of my body at the suggestion of Mr. Nero."

Lynn replied briefly.

Fu Xi once again focused his attention on those metal patterns. If he read correctly, this was a very advanced reproductive organ prosthesis. Normally, only one kind of person would use this kind of prosthetic body for transformation.

That is the sex partner who entertains guests on romantic occasions.

Judging from the trust Nero showed in her, he was more than just a toy that provided pleasure.

"This is my communication number. If Special Agent Fu needs help in Sallam Town, you can call me."

When the float vehicle landed at the door of the Brave Hotel, Lynn handed a small metal business card to Tillu.

Fu Xi glanced at it, nodded and said, "It's troublesome."

Lynn bowed and said goodbye.

…

When Fu Xi and Ti Lu returned to the Blazing Sun, the AI ​​butler Noah had been waiting for him for a long time.

The housekeeping robot helped him take off his coat and brought prepared snacks and drinks.

As soon as she sat on the sofa, before Fu Xi could say anything, Tilu put on an expression that said, "Ask me what's going on." She snatched the Coke he was about to put to his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.

.

"What's going on? Our newly promoted third-level ascendant lady."

Fu Xi touched her head in a funny way, and Ti Lu showed an expression of enjoyment before blushing and hiding away, and then stared in this direction with her big eyes.

"Tell me, how did you get along with your former friends?"

Fu Xi was also happy to listen to her story.

Tilu curled her lips and began to chatter about her meeting with Lynne and the children today.

"...The children in the town used to live there. Lynn said that their families were all killed in the omnic attack, so there was no need to send them to their parents. Aunt Melissa and Uncle Sam were sent to them.

take care of."

Tilu said that she felt a little disappointed here: "When I was in town, the parents of those children would sometimes bring me snacks. I still remember it, but it turned out like this."

Fu Xi continued to touch her head to calm her down. Tilu continued to enjoy it with a disgusted expression:

"But it's not bad like this. Although they are usually under closed management and cannot run around, they can live well, safe and have no worries about food and clothing. When the town is rebuilt in the future, I will go find Lynn and that Nero.

Take them all home."

"That's all you want to tell me?"

Fu Xi asked, just because of a little desire to share, Tilu didn't need to wait for him to come back and look so eager.

"There are others!"

Tiru regained her composure and straightened her body.

She told Xi about all the unreasonable things in the Rhine Biological Camp, the dull and dull children, the unreasonable peripheral security, the sensitive geographical location...

After finishing speaking, Tilu concluded seriously: "Lynn is hiding something from me, and Rhine Creatures must be secretly planning something bad."

"Your intuition is very keen, Tilu." Fu Xi said with approval.

The character of Nero Sire is not as simple as he appears now.

Saying half and half is a common social skill among giant companies. Just now in the laboratory, he could have handed over Aidixi to Fu Xi for interrogation, but in the end, the mayor who was loyal to the 'Emperor' lost his ability to speak forever in front of him.

.

Moreover, he has long revealed that his target is the semi-omnic "god" in the Black Gorge. After taming the god, any number of behemoths can be manufactured in a factory, which will make Nero's current research instantly lose its competitiveness.

There is an irresolvable conflict of interest between the two. If the other party really pressed the alarm button in the laboratory, Fu Xi would think that he was much more normal.

Unless the matter of 'controlling the behemoths of intelligent machines and establishing an industrial chain of intelligent machines' is itself a cover, used to cover up the true purpose.

In fact, Fu Xi felt that he was very close to the truth.

Tilu said with a serious expression: "Boss, I want to sneak into the camp of Rhine Creatures and find out what they are doing."

"Rejected, don't underestimate the security system of giant companies. Even if you are already a third-level ascendant, it is impossible to break through the defense line."

"boss!"

Tilu bit her lip lightly, her eyes firm: "My friends, playmates, and relatives are still in that camp. If Rhine Biology is really doing dangerous research, they will all be in danger."

Fu Xi knew very well what Tilu was thinking, and he would have made similar suggestions even if Tilu didn't say anything.

They would have to stay in Sallam Town for several days, and the lack of information would put their situation in danger.

Under the premise that the ultimate security method borrowed from his father cannot be easily used, it is indeed the best choice for Patty to sneak into the camp to investigate intelligence.

It's just that he is worried about whether the girl who has been attacked by the Silver Resistance Army can really bear the truth he has discovered.

"Aren't you afraid that your friend already knows some truths but is still working for Nero Soul?"

"Afraid!"

"But I still want to go!"

Tilu's tone gradually increased: "I also want to pretend to be confused and pretend not to know anything; I also want to deceive myself and others, thinking that nothing has changed and everyone can still be the same as before; just like this, I will deceive myself and wait until we leave Sa

Erlam, wouldn’t it be better?”

She lowered her eyes and twitched her eyelashes slightly: "Even if there are more signs that Lynn has changed, I am still afraid that I will miss the opportunity to save her because of my temporary escape."

Fu Xi was silent.

It's not that she doesn't understand anything, it's just that she still holds on to certain expectations and is unwilling to let go of a glimmer of possibility.

"Then go ahead."

"If they are deceived, I will bring them back. If... eh! What did you say, boss?" Tilu blinked.

"I said, I agree, you can go if you want."

Fu Xi made a mess of her hair with both hands: "Even if I don't allow it, you will definitely do it."

"Uh-huh...this."

Tilu didn't move away for a moment, letting the hands wreak havoc on her head.

Fu Xi put his hands behind his back: "As long as you can bear the consequences, I am willing to give you great tolerance."

"But before you fully adapt to the abilities of the third-level ascendant, you should have a good rest on the Blazing Sun."

I have been feeling groggy due to COVID-19 these days. Some typos will be resolved in a couple of days and I will correct them throughout the article.
