From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 219 - 179: Space-based Weapons_2

Upon hearing it, Lu Heng's head buzzed, and he decisively took action.

The voice he had heard did indeed sound very similar.

However, he hadn't seen what the Black Feather Spirit looked like beneath its mechanical shell, so he couldn't be entirely sure.

Moreover, there was a possibility that the voice was meant to deceive.

"We know each other? What do you mean?" Lin Zeyu looked utterly confused.

"You'll understand when you meet Ze Wei'er Matrix next time."

Lu Heng couldn't be one hundred percent sure at the moment either, so he decided to clear things up the next time he saw Ze Wei'er Matrix, if he could still find Ze Wei'er Matrix, that is.

...

The next day.

The news about the Sikes authorities' arrest of Ze Wei'er Matrix was broadcast.

However, the report did not mention any details.

After all, for the Sikes Civilization, having over a thousand drones obliterated by a Mechanical Angel was a considerable loss of face.

Even the Sikes Military had to resort to space-based weapons in the end.

Moreover, when they deployed the space-based weapons, unable to find Ze Wei'er Matrix, they thought to vent their anger on Lu Heng and his two companions, but to no avail.

In the afternoon.

Lu Heng retrieved the Visa Bracelet from his inventory, and as soon as he took it out, hundreds of message alerts popped up.

Since the Visa Bracelet was a product of the Sikes Civilization, it contained a location system.

If he wandered around outside with it on, the Sikes Civilization could locate him at any time.

Therefore, the three of them usually kept the Visa Bracelet in their inventory and only took it out when needed.

Looking at it now, hundreds of message alerts appeared on the holographic screen of the bracelet.

Furthermore, these messages were sent at a fixed rate of every 10 minutes.

This fixed-rate sending of messages was clearly the work of a robot.

Indeed, most Sikes people are robots.

The messages were sent by Yeliana Sikes, who was obviously shocked after seeing the news.

She was worried that the incident would affect the fate of her and the Escape Faction.

As soon as Lu Heng connected to the communication, he immediately saw Yeliana Sikes in a furious rage.

"Why did you confront the military? Give me a reasonable explanation, or I will stop your visa!"

Since the Visa Bracelet was an electronic device, she did indeed have the power to cut off its service.

Lu Heng gestured to Su Muyu, signaling her to send the Spirit Feather Eagle to scout.

Because once the Visa Bracelet connected to the network, it could potentially be monitored by the Sikes officials, revealing their location.

Lu Heng considered his response: "Ms. Sikes, I was acting on your orders to investigate Ze Wei'er Matrix. If anything happens to me, you can't evade responsibility either."

"Are you threatening me?" Yeliana Sikes's voice suddenly turned cold.

"No, and besides, the Mechanical Tiger that's moving with me is your Guardian Beast. Even if I don't mention you, the authorities will trace it back to you. So now we are 'in the same boat'—do you understand this human civilization idiom?" Lu Heng elaborated a bit.

Although Yeliana Sikes was angry, what Lu Heng said was a fact.

Although she hadn't instructed Lu Heng to stir up a conflict with the Sikes Military, it was indeed she who sent the three to investigate Ze Wei'er Matrix.

Also, the Mechanical Tiger Anka really was her Guardian Beast.

If the Mechanical Tiger were captured by Sikes officials and the information about its master contained in Anka's core was revealed, she would inevitably be investigated by the military.

It was a scenario she couldn't accept, so her computational core quickly finished thinking and made the most accurate judgment:

"I will minimize the impact of this incident, but you must not cause any more trouble for me.

"Also, tell me now, why did you help Ze Wei'er Matrix?

"If it weren't for your meddling, Ze Wei'er Matrix would have been already captured."

Lu Heng spread his hands and replied, "Based on the current clues, I think that the Xavier Matrix and the Gaseous Street incident involving the consumption of corpses are unrelated."

In fact, Lu Heng did not have concrete evidence to prove that the Xavier Matrix was unrelated to the Gaseous Street case.

But sometimes, intuition does indeed come close to the truth.

During his conversation with the Xavier Matrix, Lu Heng could feel that this "mad scientist" was not as "mad" as the rumors suggested.

Moreover, he liked plants and kept the plants in his yard in immaculate order.

Unless one suffers from split personality, an individual's character is usually quite stable.

The case that occurred in Gaseous Street involved a terrifying entity that had gnawed away the limbs of four bodies, leaving the scene in total disarray.

This is not something someone who keeps their yard plants in such perfect order would do.

The psychological characteristics of the two places were too different; it was simply impossible for the same person to have committed both acts.

As for whether it was possible that a Mechanical Demon dispatched by Xavier Matrix did it?

This possibility was even lower.

The Combat Mechanical Angels created by Xavier Matrix had a very fluid aesthetic of a living being, which was completely at odds with the scattered chunks of flesh in Gaseous Street.

If the Xavier Matrix truly wanted to send "something" to carry out a task, it would certainly be most convenient to send out a Mechanical Angel; there was no need for overkill by sending a monster that consumed corpses.

Combining these clues, Lu Heng concluded that the case in Gaseous Street was not related to Xavier Matrix.

Of course.

Lu Heng still had to continue looking for Xavier Matrix, at the very least to clarify the identity of the Black Feather Spirit.

...

Yeliana Sikes was not satisfied with Lu Heng's answer and scolded, "Even if the Gaseous Street case has nothing to do with Xavier Matrix, he is still a target wanted by the military. You should not be helping him. The moment you see him, you should capture him immediately."

Although the Escape Faction was known as the "cowards" within Sikes Civilization, they were a formal Sikes Faction with a complete faction structure.

Yeliana Sikes held an official position within Sikes Civilization as well.

Thus, her stance was consistent with the official one.

Xavier Matrix was a criminal wanted by the Sikes authorities, so in her view, he should be apprehended.

"Okay, if I can still see him next time." Lu Heng did not intend to argue with her on this topic because with different stances, continued argument would lead to no results.

After a pause, Lu Heng changed the subject and asked, "Among the teams responsible for capturing Xavier Matrix, there is another human team. I suspect they might have joined the Descent Faction. Is it possible to acquire their information?"

Yeliana Sikes inquired, "What do you want their information for?"

Lu Heng answered, "I suspect they are related to the Gaseous Street case."

Yeliana Sikes asked with confusion, "So you humans consume corpses, is that right?"

In her line of thinking, humans were extraterrestrial creatures, and it was possible for extraterrestrial creatures to eat anything.

That's why, initially, she even suspected that the four bodies were consumed by Lu Heng and his two companions.

Lu Heng did not intend to explain this to her; he simply repeated, "I suspect them, so it would be best if I could have their information. Also, the Descent Faction might be conducting some sort of terrifying experiment. I think if we can strike a blow against the Descent Faction, that should be in line with your interests."

Within Sikes Civilization, there were ideological conflicts among the Descent Faction, the Stay and Defend Faction, and the Escape Faction, so competition was everywhere.

However, the Sikes Civilization was still in the early stages of the Abyss invasion, and the internal environment of the civilization had not yet become so severe.

Thus, the current skirmishes between the three factions were carried out covertly and not openly.

Nevertheless, striking a blow against the Descent Faction would indeed align with Yeliana Sikes's interests.

Therefore, her computational core only took 0.01 seconds to process before agreeing to Lu Heng's request, "Okay, I will get you their information."

Upon hearing her agreement, Lu Heng raised an eyebrow and said, "That being the case, that team can also easily acquire my information, right?"

Yeliana Sikes replied, "Of course, as long as you have the appropriate permission level, you can access visa information."

Within Sikes Civilization, the visa information of extraterrestrial beings did not require a high permission level.

Therefore, the Descent Faction could easily obtain the information of Lu Heng and his companions.

This meant that from now on, they needed to be constantly vigilant about the team led by Alex Austin.
