Fallacy of No Return Armament

Kexi landed in her mecha at a deserted lake in the wilderness.

Having escaped danger, his heart gradually calmed down, and he began to admire his hard-won Gundam.

The mecha's interior lacks a cockpit and various buttons and joysticks; instead, it's a separate space where Kexi operates the mecha entirely through thought.

For details, please refer to Super Beast Armed.

Kexi established a visual link with the mecha, and everything the mecha saw was as if he were seeing it with his own eyes.

He looked down at his hands and examined his mecha.

emmmmmm

Something's not right with this color; it's red and black mixed together.

His gaze went past his hands to his waist and legs.

emmmmm

It's still the same color scheme.

Is this the color scheme for the Threnodian?

A bad feeling crept into his mind.

Without saying a word, he immediately strode forward to the lakeside, his heavy footsteps leaving deep footprints in the wetlands.

He stared in shock at his reflection in the lake, or rather, at the reflection of his mech in the lake.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this? System, did you send the wrong item? Wasn't it supposed to be the Fallacy of No Return Armament? Are you sure you didn't send me Aleph-1?"

Kexi stared at the reflection in the water—the shark's head, the powerful red and black body—except for the lack of wings, weapons, and shield, what Aleph-1?

[Host, you've mistaken me. This is Project Origin; it has no emotions.]

"You're talking nonsense! Iron Man's skin is a bull's head! You're trying to fool me! I want a refund!"

[Dear host, we only offer refunds, not exchanges. Are you sure you want to return the item?]

"What?! You sent the wrong item and won't replace it? You damn system, can't you have a conscience?"

[The system didn't send a mistake. Aleph-1's form was also created by absorbing parts from the Threnodian, so it's essentially Fallacy of No Return Armament. Besides, doesn't the host think Aleph-1 is cooler than the Threnodian?]

"I don't think so! Change it for me now! I want the Threnodian!"

"Did you hear that?! Change it right now!"

No matter how much Kexi complained, the system refused to change, so it simply disappeared.

"That damn system has disappeared again."

Kexi looked helplessly at the reflection in the water. Without wings, without a shield, without weapons, this Gundam was about five meters tall, making it look quite thin.

It took him half a day to accept the fact that his Gundam was Aleph-1.

"Hey, you damn system, where are Aleph-1's shield, wings, and weapons? Send them to me already! Why are they shortchanging me?"

This time, the system didn't pretend to be dead.

[The equipment system has not met the unlocking criteria due to insufficient energy level of the current mech.]

"How can I unlock it?" Kexi couldn't help but ask.

[Current mech energy level is 50,000 points. When the mech energy level reaches 100,000 points, the weapon Void Halberd will be unlocked; when the mech energy level reaches 150,000 points, the Void Twin Shields will be unlocked; when the mech energy level reaches 200,000 points, weapon combination and cooperative combat, Voidfall Heavy Blade, and Blazing Light Wings will be unlocked.]

Kexi was taken aback again.

"Holy crap, does that mean I need to level up? How do I level up?"

[The host can absorb the frequency of high-energy units and convert it into energy simply by killing them, or by consuming high-energy items.]

"High-energy units? Do you mean Tacet Discord?"

[Yes, it could be other mechs, or anything that can generate energy.]

Upon hearing this, Kexi immediately thought of something good.

He grinned crookedly. "Does that mean the Fractsidus count?"

[Calculate.]

"Okay, hahaha." Upon hearing this, Kexi threw her head back and burst into laughter.

"I will become the Fractsidus's killing machine! Damn Christopher, damn the president, damn the Fractsidus! How dare you frame me! You just wait, I'll make sure you all pay!"

I haven't settled the score with you from a few days ago, and you dare to jump out and frame me.

Thinking about this, Kexi also felt a headache coming on.

Christopher used a fake body to assassinate Jinhsi and frame him, which Changli witnessed firsthand.

Now he's been framed for assassinating Jinhsi, and he has no way to defend himself. How can he break free from this predicament?

Baizhi just told him that Jinhsi almost died on the spot, but thankfully she was rescued in time. Now he can only hope that she recovers quickly so that he can find a chance to meet Jinhsi.

Only Jinhsi had contact with that fake person; being so intelligent, she would surely be able to tell that the imposter wasn't him.

After all, how could there possibly be two people as handsome as him in the world at the same time?

Kexi thought narcissistically that he would be able to persuade Jinhsi with his silver tongue.

Neither Sanhua nor Changli trusts him now, so he can only lie low for the time being.

Fortunately, he got some money from Carlotta yesterday, enough to keep him happily occupied for a while.

Lost in thought, he arrived in the Egla Town and entered the Wavecrest Inn where he had stayed with Cioccolata last time.

"Boss, I need a room. Get me the best one, seven days' stay, all meals included. Don't bother with the change."

Kexi casually tossed a ten-thousand -Monnaie banknote onto the counter.

The shopkeeper in front of him was dozing off, bored out of his mind. Hearing a customer, he groggily opened his eyes, and when he saw the banknote, his eyes immediately lit up.

He snatched the banknote in his hand with lightning speed, grinning from ear to ear.

"Alright, sir..."

His gaze shifted from the banknotes in his hand to Kexi's face, and when he saw her face clearly, sweat immediately broke out on his back.

Kexi looked at him, puzzled, and urged him on.

"What's wrong, boss? Are there no rooms available?"

Startled by his question, the shopkeeper stammered, "Yes... yes... are you sure you want to stay at the hotel?"

"Certainly."

"Then please come with me."

The boss led Kexi to the best room as Kexi requested, and then left.

Sweat was still beading on his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe it away. He hurriedly went downstairs and rushed to the counter to check the terminal.

He operated it for a while, and a picture appeared on the terminal, which was a Order order.

The content is that Kexi Montelli assassinated the Jinzhou governor and fled to avoid punishment. The informant will be Monnaie, and the person who captures him alive will be rewarded with Monnaie.

It also includes a special note: This person is extremely vicious; do not act recklessly.

The boss checked several times to make sure he wasn't mistaken; the person in the picture was indeed Kexi from the wanted poster.

Only then did he dial the Order's contact information left on the arrest warrant.

"Hey, um... I need to report that Kexi Montelli is currently in my shop."

"Yes, yes, I'm sure, I'm absolutely certain I didn't see wrong, it's definitely him, exactly the same as the one on the wanted poster."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

On the other side of the Order, Alex received the report from the Ordo immediately.

"This young master Montelli is really bold, daring to openly check into the hotel. He really doesn't take us seriously."

Alex immediately gathered a group of people, along with a number of Echo, Gladiator Junrock, and Abyssal Patricius, preparing to personally capture him.
