Like Loya, he had no idea what was going on now.

"Don't panic."

Su Zhou gave him a look.

At this moment, Hard was reporting to Yelena: "The ruins have been roughly discovered. Major, we should immediately report the results of the ruins to the general, and Professor Svetre..."

As he said this, the swordsman looked at Su Zhou on the other side indifferently. Although he said nothing, his meaning was already very obvious.

In order to ensure that the remains news is not leaked, silence is necessary.

"The natural disaster has just passed, and the communication cannot be successful. Moreover, there are too many accidents in this mission, which is completely different from what the general said. The secret hidden in this ruin should be more than this living ancestor girl."

After sorting out his armor and hair, Yelena took out several bottles of potions from her arms.

After taking it, she coughed, and then her condition quickly rose. A blue light flowed in her eyes: "When the old man Suiguang was still planning to use the alchemy key to lock our position before he died? Others don't know the methods of the Zhuguang Cult Group, but we can know very well."

Turning his head, the female knight looked in the direction where Su Zhou was. She smiled complacently: "As for Professor Svetre... he is a smart person, he will cooperate. The general appreciates his talent. You should make a good relationship now."

"How? Professor, your choice is right? The Third Army of Asmodai welcomes you to join."

Looking at Yelena's appearance as the final winner, Su Zhou blinked, did not speak, but raised his hand and made a gentlemanly gesture of "please".

Regarding this, the female knight laughed twice, and then returned to her previous cold and serious appearance: "Let's go! Let's check the core of the underground ruins again!"

Compared to when they left, they went back much faster. In less than five minutes, they arrived next to the Water Source Camp where they fought before.

Nothing changed, everything was the same as twenty minutes ago, whether it was Adama's body, the chaotic camp, or the motionless alchemy armor.

But it was meaningless. Yelena walked forward. Without saying a word, the capable female knight raised the alchemy sword and stabbed the broken armor of Master Suiguang amid the child's screams.

This sword was concise and direct, straightforward, and even without murderous aura. It was like a child sweeping the dust on the ground with branches, but it was extremely cold. Su Zhou couldn't help but praise him in his heart when he saw it. Ordinary assassins couldn't stab such a silent sword.

The armor pierced into the gap and penetrated the flesh and blood. Yelena, who confirmed the correct touch, nodded with satisfaction. After proving that Sui Guang was indeed dead, she took a breath: "Although the potion used to treat the fake death is rare, it is not without it... Please forgive me, it is just a check on the battlefield, not an insult to the corpse."

I don’t know who explained it to, but in short, she seemed to think that Su Zhou’s previous death and resurrection were the effect of the fake death potion. Su Zhou could only shrug: “It’s not me who stabbed me, I have no objection.”

"Haha, you're really interesting."

After laughing, Yelena planned to leave like this, but before leaving, she suddenly looked moved: "By the way, there are so many secret medicines, alchemy potions in the Zhuguang Cult, and you can't waste them."

The knight turned around again. This time she planned to cut open Master Suiguang's armor and check whether there was anything valuable on the other party's body.

Not to mention anything else, the small bottle of soul source that he catalyzes the demonization of Adama is worth a thousand gold outside. For ordinary extraordinary people, they can greatly improve their strength in a short time, enough to save their lives.

However, this time, when Yelena stretched out her sword for the second time, a hand quietly raised it and held the sword body.

In the wide open eyes of the female knight, she had clearly lost all the source of power, and the alchemy armor that could not be moved by itself was theoretically moved and grabbed her alchemy sword.

——This is impossible! She held the secret key of the armor that broke the silence light in her own hands, and it could still move, unless... unless the person in the armor controls the movement of the entire armor with his own physical strength!

"But how is this possible?! Even the knight can't move freely in such thick armor!"

Master Sui Guang, he is obviously just an alchemist!

【Holy Day is here, Ms. Yelena, Mr. Harder, and Professor Svetre, why do you come back?】

And just as the female knight was shocked inexplicably, a sigh came out, and the familiar old mechanical man's voice sounded from his armor and echoed in the hall.

There is no life fluctuation, no soul fluctuation, nothing in the armor. For the natives of this world, this means there is no living creature or even no undead in that armor.

But it still moved, and the sound was clear, containing the truth and melancholy feelings: [This matter can be a win-win situation. Colonel, you take your mission goal back to report to General Akharonov. You may be able to advance to the will of God. You may be able to become a female general in the future. And the second lieutenant can at least be promoted to multiple levels this time, and the future school official is expected to be.]

[Professor, you can get enough rewards and continue to study knowledge with the support of the Third Army. Children in the orphanage have a way out and can join the middle-level army. This is already a first-class good thing in this world, and no one else can ask for it.]

[In this way, I can go deep into the ruins without being disturbed and find what the sect wants... How good and win-win.]

Krakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

At this moment, the huge silver-green armor stood up and blocked everyone.

A sigh sounded.

【Why... always want to come back and die?】

The source energy brilliance flows inside it, emitting a light silver brilliance. The source energy around it is stabilized. Master Suiguang once again showed his heavy pressure as heavy as a mountain.

"Damn it!"

He quickly took a few steps back and avoided the attack distance of the alchemy armor. Yelena looked extremely ugly, and she said with a gloomy face: "How can you still be alive?! The touch of your flesh and blood is obviously the feeling of a corpse, without any fluctuations in life or soul..."

"And what is your purpose!"

【……It depends on what the definition is when you are alive.】

The extremely calm and unsatisfied mechanical sound sounded, and Master Suiguang's voice was filled with emotion: [Does it mean to be alive? No, all non-extraordinary people have no souls. Are they not alive?]

[Is it meant to be alive if you have a body? Is it not right? A superb person can exist without a body, but it is more dangerous and needs to be placed in strange things.]

[It can be seen from this that neither the body nor the soul is necessary for life, and it is even quite meaningless. On this, there are more pure essences and more ‘meaning’ things that can represent life itself…]

As he said this, the silver-blue armor began to crack inch by inch. In the sank wounds hit by Adama's demonization, the solid metal iron sheets were peeling off one by one, revealing the precise mechanical structure inside. It was obvious that these mechanical structures had stopped operating, which was also the reason for their disintegration.

But the fluctuations in the surrounding source energy were even greater, and the silver light was even more dazzling than the glory of the souls of the ancestor girl before. A huge aura came from the inside of the armor, making Yelena and Hard ready for battle.

Master Suiguang seemed to be immersed in the enemy's problems. He shook his head and sighed and said: [We Zhuguang Cult Group believes that life is memory. Without memory, even if there is soul and body, it is just a meaningless empty shell; only memory, even if there is no body and soul, it is a unique existence.]

[It is not to say that the body and soul are not needed, it is also a useful tool, but only with memory as the core can we overcome the devilish disease, natural disasters, wars, the gradual decline of the holy day, and other disasters, allowing humanity to go to the next era and pursue the light of hope on the eve of the doomsday.]

【As for my purpose…】

At this moment, Master Sui Guang's voice laughed, with sincere feelings, and nearly half of the silver-green armor peeled off. You can already see a bloody corpse of a white-haired old man in the center of the armor - directly hit by Adama's demonization. Even if the alchemy armor has shock absorption function, it cannot completely eliminate the force. Sui Guang's corpse is a clear proof.

But it's not this important.

Because, anyone can see... the mechanical skeleton located under the flesh and blood.

The sound of the old man with a mechanical sense came from above the metal skeleton of the corpse, extremely calm.

[Do you know my hometown? It is a fixed village under the rule of the Tianlong nobles in the east. The nobles look down on us non-mobile city-state residents and do not regard us as citizens. The advantage is that they are too lazy to collect taxes from us. There are indeed few natural disasters in the eastern region, and there are no wandering bandits. My grandfather and my grandfather's family, one of seventeen people, live in small villages near the mountains, farming and hunting to make a living. Although it is difficult, it is considered peaceful and happy.]

[Especially one day my elder brother discovered a mine, which produces a very high purity source cast iron, which is the raw material of alchemy steel. It only takes simple mining and calcination to produce iron ingots. It can be sold to the mercenaries around half a year to change our family to a new house, and it can also allow me to go to school to learn to write, and even learn to be a wandering alchemist.]

As he said this, the old man's voice seemed to be telling a story, and everyone present listened strangely and carefully.

Su Zhou could sense the abnormal flow of source energy in the air. He shook his head slightly, knowing that this was the peace before the storm.

Sui Guang was still narrating, his tone was surprisingly calm, the disintegration of the armor had reached its head, the master was dead, and the skull was broken, and the skull was broken before everyone's eyes. If it were the extraordinary, the injury would be damned, but the voice did not stop.

[Everything was fine, until one day when I went home, I saw the old man's body half eaten and sank at the door of the house. He died with his eyes open. I still remember it now. When I rushed into the house in shock and angrily, a strong bloody stinking came to the shop: My home became a slaughterhouse. The bodies of my grandfather, grandma, big grandma, father, uncle and sister all appeared in front of me in a fragmented form. There was a hole in my cousin and younger brother's heads. Their brains were empty and the meat on their bodies was gone. It seemed that the old man was not eaten completely because he was too old, but the children were different.]

As he said this, the mechanical armor turned slightly and looked at Su Zhou and the child beside him. Master Sui Guang laughed apologetically, as if he wanted to comfort the children not to be afraid, but the laughter and the content of the calmness shocked Gasha and made Luo Ya grab the corner of Su Zhou's clothes tightly.

[I opened the door tremblingly. My brother was eating my mother. My mother was still holding a sweater knitted for me. My brother was demonized. His body was full of energy crystallization. The demonized lines even penetrated into the internal organs. It turned out that my ancestors also had the blood of the dragon. If it weren't for the dragon horns that grew after my brother's bloodline awakening, I really didn't know this. But now he is not a dragon, but he is just a man-eating monster. When the monster saw it, he did not eat me. I don't know if it was full or what. In short, it roared and howled, as if it wanted to let me go.]

[I was so scared that I could not move. After the incident ended, I remembered that my brother loved me the most. He would rather farm and mine in his hometown than be an alchemist. When the monster saw that I didn't leave, it flapped its wings and smashed the roof and flew away. I was rescued by other villagers who were attracted by this vision. A few days later, I learned about the news that the monster was destroyed by the mercenaries invited by the village.]

[At that time, I suddenly realized that my brother was demonized because of the source cast iron mining. The radiation from this source energy material was heavy. The empire also used consumables like the demonizer to mine related mines. Over time, supervisors may become demonized, let alone miners who have been mining? That team of mercenaries were also the team that purchased our source cast iron ingots. They knew this, but they didn't say anything. Not only did they take over the mine pit mined by my family, but they even got the reward of the Tianlong nobles with the dragon blood demonized corpse and became the noble guard.]

At this point, Sui Guang smiled self-deprecatingly: [Yes, why do you want to say it? The ignorant villagers mine source energy materials without any protective tools. This kind of thing can happen a hundred times a day on the Aion continent. What's more, if someone turns evil, they can also take on a task. After taking over the mine, there will be a legal and stable source of funds. The villagers will not have any objections. Why should they say it?]

【However,】

【However.】

At this moment, the original silver-blue mechanical armor had completely peeled off, and its core parts and energy were absorbed, so it decomposed itself, and Master Suiguang's body stood on a piece of metal wreckage.

Now, even the flesh and blood began to fall, and the mechanical structure under the old man's body became more and more obvious and complete. After the flesh and blood on the corpse's face fell, a pure mechanical skeleton body appeared in front of everyone.

It was a metal robotic figure that looked indestructible, although it was short, but it looked like a skeleton, but its ribs were made of folded metal plates, forming a structure that looked like armor, and his legs and joints were extremely strong, with special protective armor.

The source energy that was heavier than before, flowed in this camp, causing the air to buzz like a mixture of gold and iron.

Also, the extremely blazing and extremely regular soul light lit up from the eye sockets on the metal skull, as if silver flames were burning.

【However, why is this world so hateful?】

It was extremely calm, but it seemed like a roar echoed, and the whole camp was silent.

[I don't hate anyone. For vulgar mortals, not helping others is common sense, and ignorance itself is the greatest sin, so I have been learning knowledge all my life and helping others as much as possible. The Zhuguang Cult originally wanted to invent the mechanical body and the soul of the gear that would never be demonized because of my prototype to posthumously named him as a master or even a grandmaster, but he didn't care at all, because our enemy is this land, demonized disease, demon moon, and all the disasters in this world.]

"Chasing the seal..."

Hard exclaimed in abrupt voice, Yelena also had a serious expression, and Su Zhou, who had completely understood, sighed, and said loudly: "Your prototype re-encodes and breaks up your soul data, enters it into the alchemy machinery on your head, and then abandons your flesh and blood, and uses the bones of steel as a support to create a brand new artificial life with his memory and thinking patterns."

"The amazing idea is really amazing. I have seen someone like you. Although He has gone further than you and has completely electronicized his soul, your achievements have been achieved by himself and beyond this era."

And Master Suiguang said strangely: [Oh? It's worthy of being Professor Svedre. He is indeed knowledgeable and has seen someone the same as my prototype. But you are so serious, my prototype is also on the shoulders of giants. If there were no previous generations of the generations to study the undead and artificial intelligence, he and I would not have been able to go this far.]

"So is there any peaceful solution now?"

Metal Skeleton apologized with apologizing: [It was OK before, but now I am really sorry, no. Since you are back, you can only die here.]

[I really hope that the world can get better, but there are always many people who are blocking us. Time is limited. The holy day is about to go out and dusk is coming. We cannot wait for the obstacles to disappear. I don’t want to kill people, but I always have to do this.]

The moment he spoke, he raised his hand, and the five metal-cast fingers contracted and gathered together, and then formed a muzzle at his wrist. He had accumulated a huge amount of energy when he told a story before, condensed into a silver column of light, and shot straight away.

【Black souls are gone】

However, the target of this cannon was not Yelena, nor the "weakest" Su Zhou, but Hard, who was hiding on the side, as if he was about to take out some communication device. He raised his head in shock, and then saw a beam of light magnification rapidly in front of his eyes.

He is dead.

The head was annihilated, and his body began to burn and the charcoal of the swordsman fell to the ground and then shattered into slag. This was the power of source energy. He burned out the moment he was hit, without any struggle.
To be continued...
