Madness (2)
"Give up? How can we do that? That kid took it away, maybe to study it. If he really discovers something, won't our secrets be exposed?" the black robot said immediately upon hearing this.
Their ability to exist forever is the result of a great deal of effort. This is a secret that must never be revealed, otherwise all their efforts over the years will have been in vain.
"There's nothing I can do, I can't move right now. The base has been badly damaged, and we're severely weakened. We can't afford to worry about Fanxin right now, so let's just leave it for the time being!" the First King said helplessly.
It desperately wanted to bring the person back, but it couldn't. So, it had no choice but to give up.
"That's really troublesome," the black robot said.
"That's for sure," the First King said. "We shouldn't have let him in in the first place. As soon as he came in, he became curious about this place. After that, he didn't want to leave."
It was starting to regret its decision, because it had let Fanxin in to gain his Fanxin and body. Of the nine kings, one was now missing, and Fanxin could fill the gap perfectly.
However, Fanxin saw through their scheme, disagreed, and then fought them fiercely.
Although they tried their best, the Fanxin's strength was not weak, leaving them helpless.
Afterwards, Fanxin saw through some clues and became unwilling to let go. However, it was extremely difficult for them to persuade this great deity to leave.
In the end, things turned out this way, leaving it quite helpless.
"That's true, that plague god is truly despicable," the black robot said.
Fanxin are indeed very troublesome; if you fall for their target, you're in trouble. They suffered greatly precisely because they were targeted by Fanxin.
"Alright, what can we do now that things have come to this? You should go and rest. We've only lost another king," the First King said helplessly.
Although the black robots were furious, they were helpless, because Fanxin were too difficult for them to handle.
Although it desperately wanted to extinguish its Fanxin, it couldn't, so what could it do?
"Yes, I'll go right away." The black robot, looking utterly helpless, carried Gold King into the base.
Back at the base, they each went back to their respective places to rest and recuperate.
Everything became quiet.
When Fanxin returned to the ship, he was relieved to see that it was mostly intact. He had thought the ship was completely destroyed and beyond repair.
Looking at it now, it seems he's quite happy with his previous actions.
"Fanxin, you're back! That's wonderful! I thought something had happened to you!" Ren Fang rushed into Fanxin's arms as soon as she saw Fanxin.
She was terribly worried beforehand. Fanxin was facing many opponents all by himself. Although Fanxin was powerful, he was no match for the sheer number of opponents.
Now, seeing Fanxin return safe and sound, she was overjoyed.
"Hehe, don't worry, with the Little Fox by my side, it's impossible for anything to happen to me," Fanxin said with a chuckle.
"Ren Fang asked me to go," the Little Fox said immediately.
It wasn't lying; Ren Fang really did send it. It hadn't wanted to go initially, because if Fanxin wanted to escape, it wouldn't be difficult, since he had no worries about anything else.
As long as the Fanxin tries to escape, it believes that the Fanxin will be safe and sound.
However, Ren Fang was still worried! So, she asked the Little Fox to help Fanxin Xin.
"Oh, I see. Thank you so much." Fanxin hugged Ren Fang and kissed her, saying, "Alright, everything's resolved now, you don't need to worry anymore."
"Okay, I understand," Ren Fang said with a smile.
"Go ahead and do your thing, I need to take care of some things," Fanxin said.
He's caught a robot and wants to deal with it; he doesn't have time to spend with Ren Fang now. If he doesn't deal with it, something bad might happen.
Ren Fang nodded obediently, then left and went into Wolf Valley.
Once inside, she instructed everyone to start cooking.
They had worked hard earlier and were quite hungry and tired. Now that everyone had some free time, they could finally cook and eat.
At her call, everyone got busy.
Fanxin then led the Little Fox to the ship's main control room. There, they found the Little Black Cat busy at work.
Although the ship has been largely restored, some parts have suffered irreparable damage. It is currently undergoing repairs there.
"Little Black, if it's not unimportant, then stop for a moment. I need to talk to you about something," Fanxin Xin said immediately.
"Oh, what is it? Tell me." The Little Black Cat nodded slightly and asked.
After saying that, it immediately came to Fanxin's side. It looked at Fanxin with a curious expression.
Fanxin don't usually seek them out. But if they do, it's either because you have something good to give them or because you want them to do something important.
It was curious; it wondered what Fanxin had asked it to do this time.
"I have something nice to give you," Fanxin said with a smile.
"What is that?!" the Little Black Cat exclaimed, its eyes lighting up.
The gifts Fanxin usually gives are not inferior goods, but rather high-quality items. It was very curious to know what Fanxin would give it this time.
"Hehe, I'm giving you a robot, the kind of powerful robot from the Mechanism City," Fanxin said. "Do you like it?"
Although the Little Black Cat also makes robots, the robots it creates are very different from those in the Mechanism City. He believes the Little Black Cat will definitely like them.
"Oh, really? Then take it out quickly, I'm about to examine it." The Little Black Cat immediately became excited upon hearing this.
They had long coveted those robots. Unfortunately, they couldn't handle them. So, they eventually had to give up.
Now that it has acquired the Fanxin, it naturally won't be polite. As long as the Fanxin can be taken out, it will accept it without hesitation.
"Hehe, I'll give it to you right away," Fanxin said. After saying that, he immediately took out the blood-red robot and threw it on the ground.
"Alright, you can take it and study it now. However, just in case, the Little Fox must stay by your side and be ready to rescue you at any time. You can't object," Fanxin said.
Although the Crimson Robot is now powerless to resist, it's better to be safe than sorry. If it suddenly unleashes its power, the Little Black Cat will have a hard time dealing with it alone.
If he leaves the Little Fox here, there won't be any problem. The Little Fox can defeat the opponent.
Now that its opponent is incomplete, the Little Fox finds it even easier to deal with.
With the Little Fox protecting him, Fanxin doesn't need to worry about the Little Black Cat at all, because the Little Fox can help take care of it.
"Okay, I agree to your request." The Little Black Cat nodded immediately upon hearing this.
It was also worried that something bad might happen, because it had experienced firsthand how formidable these guys were; they were definitely not people that ordinary people could handle. If you weren't careful, you would definitely get hurt.
When it's busy with research, it simply doesn't have time to worry about much else. At that time, if it doesn't have anyone to protect it, it will definitely suffer a great loss.
It didn't want to die so confusedly; that would be too much of a waste.
"That's settled then. Alright, you can go and figure it out yourself. I won't bother you anymore." Nodding, Fanxin Xin immediately left and went to a distant place.
Once inside Wolf Valley, Fanxin joined the others in cooking. He was hungry too; after fighting those guys for so long, his stomach was rumbling.
The Little Black Cat took the robot to its research lab, where it examined and probed the crimson robot. The Little Fox sat nearby, ready to act at any moment.
Its role is absolutely crucial. If it's not handled properly, the Little Black Cat will surely perish.
Therefore, it cannot afford to be careless in the slightest. It must go all out.
The Little Black Cat completely disassembled the robot's outer shell and then began inspecting the inside.
However, when it opened the robot's interior, its expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Damn it, using a living person to do this, it's outrageous!" The Little Black Cat was furious and couldn't help but curse.
"What happened?" the Little Fox asked curiously.
"This is a combination of a robot and a human, also known as a cyborg," the Little Black Cat said. "People only make such extreme choices when they have no other options but still want to survive."
"After this, the person can still live, as long as you provide them with enough energy. However, such a person is like a walking corpse; they have no freedom and will only obey the control of those mechanical devices."
"Those mechanical devices can control their entire bodies, allowing them to use their abilities. They are so powerful because the living person themselves is so powerful."
"I see. But since it's a human, it must have an end!" the Little Fox said. It meant that since it was a human, it should have a limited lifespan, and once the human died, this modified human would be useless.
"That's generally how it is, but it seems that the Mechanism City has a special method to completely fuse a person's flesh with these metals. In this way, the cyborg becomes very special," the Little Black Cat nodded and said.
"How is it special?" the Little Fox asked curiously.
"They've become true robots," the Little Black Cat said. "That person's thoughts and abilities have all been imprinted onto those strange metals. In this way, these robots possess special abilities."
"My robots don't have special abilities because I haven't used those inhumane methods. However, the Mechanism City is using them."
"Oh, I understand," the Little Fox said. "Because the Mechanism City couldn't create robots with consciousness, they came up with a special method: fusing a person with a special metal, then gradually taking away that person's thoughts and abilities. Once the metal had completely taken away that person's thoughts and abilities, they destroyed that person. Then, they created a real robot shell, using this metal with its abilities and consciousness as its core."
"Because metals can exist for a very long time, and if you take care to maintain them and prevent them from rusting, they can last forever. Therefore, they can gain the power of immortality, right!"
"Yes, my robot, with careful maintenance, can exist for countless years," the Little Black Cat said. "It seems the Celestial Dragons want to obtain a powerful robot army to rule this world. Humans may have disloyal thoughts, but robots are incredibly loyal and will not rebel. In this way, the Celestial Dragons can rule this world forever."
"We can't let them succeed. The Celestial Dragons are extremely tyrannical; countless people have died under their rule. If they succeed, it will be disastrous," the Little Fox said.
The Celestial Dragons, lacking a robot army, are already arrogant and treat others as slaves, torturing them at will. If they were to acquire such an army, they would become even more rampant, self-righteous, and disdainful of everyone else.
"Yes!" the Little Black Cat nodded and said, "However, this can't be accomplished overnight. Taking away a person's mind and abilities takes a long time."
"The Celestial Dragons haven't used that place yet; it's probably still in the experimental stage. If that's the case, we still have a chance. As long as we find the right opportunity, there won't be any problems."
"Well, what are you planning to do?" the Little Fox asked.
"This person is already useless. Keeping him around is just a waste of his time. I'll send him away!" the Little Black Cat said helplessly.
This person has been modified, and his body is now completely mutilated. From now on, he will have to endure mental anguish every day as he looks at his crippled body.
So it decided to help him out and send him off to the end of this world.
"Alright, go ahead and do it!" the Little Fox said, nodding.
The Little Black Cat immediately gave the man, who was restrained by metal, an injection of euthanasia medication. After taking it, he would not feel any pain and could leave this world peacefully.
After receiving the injection, the man had a relieved look on his face, appearing to enjoy it.
After finishing, the Little Black Cat immediately removed all the metal from the man's body. Then, it breathed out brown flames and burned the man's remains.
After the cremation was complete, it scattered the ashes into the deep sea.
"Alright, the threat is gone. Go do whatever you want. I don't need your help here anymore," the Little Black Cat said immediately.
The man was dead; all that remained were a few cold, lifeless pieces of metal, which posed no threat to it. It could take care of him by itself.
