The Advancing Night Knight!

Night.

In the living room.

Wang Zhong, sitting on the sofa, raised his head and looked at the mechanical clock hanging on the wall beside him. The hour hand of the clock had just pointed to seven.

"Now, it's time to deal with Xiao Zhe."

As he spoke, Wang Zhong stood up. He picked up his [Mechanical Phone A10] and said to the [Intelligent System] of the phone, "Intelligent System, log into my computer's number as usual, and then chat with my friends from the deduction club..."

"Remember to imitate my speaking style, don't make any mistakes..."

The next second, a cold voice from [Intelligent System] slowly sounded from the Bluetooth headset Wang Zhong was wearing on his right ear: "As you command, Master."

In the living room.

Wang Zhong's laptop, placed on the computer desk, suddenly turned on by itself, as if an invisible ghost was controlling his [Laptop]...

The laptop screen displayed a logged-in computer number, and then chat windows appeared one by one.

At this moment, Wang Zhong's figure had already disappeared into the stairs of the rented apartment.

On the street.

The street tonight, perhaps because it was only seven o'clock, was filled with pedestrians, and there were also some scattered vendor stalls casually parked along the sides of the road.

At the entrance of the parking lot.

Wang Zhong squinted his eyes, looking at the lively street scene before him. With a thought, a distorted white light suddenly appeared on his face.

Within the white light, strange faces flashed one after another.

When the white light dispersed, his true appearance was revealed.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man who looked completely ordinary appeared in his place.

This was the Primary Mechanical Creation, the [Bionic Disguise Mask].

After the disguise, Wang Zhong calmly rode his (disguised) electric scooter down the street.

Along the way, surveillance cameras and the phones of passersby capturing the surroundings seemed to be controlled by some force, and Wang Zhong's figure was silently erased.

This was the benefit of having a personal [Smart Phone].

Thirteen minutes later.

Wang Zhong soon stopped at the entrance of a small alley.

"I need to change my mode of transportation next time, or I'll be exposed sooner or later!"

After parking his (disguised) electric scooter, Wang Zhong, who had resumed his true appearance and was wearing a mask, stood in a blind spot of the surveillance. He casually took out his [Mechanical Phone A10] and began to check the situation inside Xiao Zhe's house.

Inside Xiao Zhe's house.

Xiao Zhe, sitting in the bedroom, was diligently wiping two daggers that gleamed coldly.

His focused expression was as if he were treating his lover, allowing no room for oversight.

However, Xiao Zhe didn't notice that the camera of his [Mechanical Mobile Phone], placed beside him, was pointed directly at himself...

In a surveillance blind spot.

"Xiao Zhe's weapon is a dagger, and two very good quality daggers at that," Wang Zhong muttered to himself, noting the information. He would also divide his attention to those two daggers when he fought Xiao Zhe later.

As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.

Now, with this [Mechanical Mobile Phone] equipped with intelligence, Wang Zhong naturally intended to maximize the advantage of being able to hack into any electronic device.

"Besides the two daggers, Xiao Zhe is also hiding a bottle of poison spray..."

"Huh? His right eye is actually a [Bionic Prosthetic Eye]? I've known him for half a year, and I never realized his eye was fake?"

"As expected, Xiao Zhe is also wearing that kind of defensive [Fiber Armor]..."

In just half an hour, Wang Zhong had seen through most of Xiao Zhe's trump cards.

Meanwhile.

This time period had also reached 8:45 PM.

From the screen monitoring of his [Mechanical Phone A10], Wang Zhong also noticed that Xiao Zhe was packing his things and preparing to go out.

Xiao Zhe was a meticulous single person who was efficient and liked to prepare things in advance.

This was precisely why Wang Zhong had come out early to ambush Xiao Zhe.

As long as Wang Zhong's fight with Xiao Zhe could end quickly, Wang Zhong would still have time to prepare other things and create his alibi.

"Let's begin."

At the alley entrance, Wang Zhong mumbled to himself. Holding his [Mechanical Phone A10] in his right hand, he repeatedly pressed the mechanical [Number Key 6] with his right index finger.

Transformation Code [666]!

When Wang Zhong entered the transformation code [666], the screen of the [Mechanical Phone A10] suddenly displayed a rapid stream of [0] and [1] data symbols. Immediately after, these emerald green data symbols flew out of the phone screen and shot towards his eyes.

Rumble!

The next second, a large swarm of emerald green data runes appeared in Wang Zhong's eyes, and simultaneously, a strange combat experience was rapidly loaded into the depths of his memory.

This was the skill [Psionic Datafication LV1].

A miraculous skill that allowed Wang Zhong to transform into a [Level 3 Psionic Warrior].

Buzz buzz!

In an instant, Wang Zhong's eyes suddenly emitted wisps of emerald green psionic light, and at the same time, a series of unfamiliar combat memories surfaced in his mind.

Just like that, Wang Zhong transformed into a [Level 3 Psionic Warrior].

Inside a residential building.

Creak, creak.

Xiao Zhe, who was walking down the stairs towards the exit on the first floor, had just rounded the corner of the staircase when a middle-aged man in a black robe with an ordinary appearance appeared before him.

He had a plump build and a cold expression.

However, the way he looked at me with such indifference felt wrong.

Soon, Xiao Zhe roughly analyzed the middle-aged man, assessing his level of danger.

As a [Sain Mechanical Killer], Xiao Zhe, out of his killer's professional habit, always assessed the danger level of strangers he encountered...

[Treat any stranger as a potential threat.]

This principle was a life-saving rule earned by every [Sain Mechanical Killer] through blood and sacrifice.

Creak, creak.

On the first floor of the residential building, Wang Zhong walked with a cold expression towards the staircase leading to the second floor. As his distance from Xiao Zhe grew shorter, his breathing gradually became calmer.

The more dangerous the situation, the calmer Wang Zhong's mind became.

Closer.

Even closer.

As Wang Zhong and Xiao Zhe walked towards each other, both of them attacked almost simultaneously.

Screech!

Instantly, a fruit knife emitting an emerald green psionic glow clashed with a gleaming dagger.
