Chapter 1 Linqi Mountain

Lingqi Mountain.

The night was hazy, with a faint mist permeating the air.

A gray and white mountain path snaked from the foot of the mountain all the way to its waist, finally leading to a small, mountain-shaped villa with red walls and gray tiles.

The villa was built with extreme symmetry, with a side door on each side and two square white windows in the center.

At this moment, the left side door was silently ajar, and faint voices could be heard from the hall inside.

Inside the hall, moonlight streamed in through the window, slanting onto the black carpet on the floor.

A group of burly, black-gray figures were scattered around the hall, quietly listening to the blue cyborg in the center as she spoke.

"According to feedback from other departments, Hongjin Company is closely related to the mysterious cyborg who attacked us before. This time, we must be prepared to deal with that mysterious cyborg."

The blue cyborg's body reflected a faint, mirror-like luster in the moonlight. Unlike the other complete cyborgs around her, her body seemed to be integrated as one, with almost no visible seams. Like an ancient heavy-armored knight, she wore heavy arm guards, chest armor, and leg armor.

"Team Xin, we still haven't found the whereabouts of that mysterious cyborg. We only have the video of his fight with the official roboticist over at Suiyang. With just that, it's difficult to make a comprehensive assessment," one of the surrounding black-gray cyborgs said in a deep voice.

"I've observed it," the blue cyborg, known as Team Xin, said in a low voice. "In the video, he was injured by Ding Zaocheng's Feiyi, so he should be a little stronger than an ordinary civilian-grade complete cyborg, but not as strong as a military-grade one. He might be able to run rampant in the city because everyone doesn't have weapon modules, but out here, all of you can use fire control auto-aiming and take him down in an instant."

The blue cyborg said coldly.

"The key is to capture the target. This experiment requires the special goods from Silent Small Shop. We've used up all the Dead Angle people who went in before. Without collaborators, the experiment can't continue, so now that new ones have finally arrived, we can't let them go. Mr. X instructed us to complete the mission. The experiment has reached a critical moment." Team Xin looked around at everyone.

"Are all the weapon modules installed?" she asked in a deep voice.

"No problem, everyone has them. There's no Silent Fortress here, plus the shielding system, we can have a full half-hour of free operation time," a black cyborg standing in the shadows sneered.

"Very good. Everyone, be on guard against the mysterious cyborg. A Wu, go set up the ambush equipment and the shielding equipment. Move fast! The informant at the hospital just sent word that Zhong Hui's wife hid a notebook, recording a lot of Dead Angle escape methods. Who was in charge of the search before?"

Team Xin's voice turned cold.

No one answered.

"Tomorrow, Hongjin's people will come. Four, you're in charge of leading the team to lure away their armed personnel, and eliminate them all if necessary."

"Okay," a black cyborg with the most powerful build replied.

Here, none of them had installed virtual skin, all appearing with pure mechanical bodies.

"Two, you and I will go get the notebook and replace it with our fake," Team Xin said, looking at another person.

"No problem. Anyway, Hongjin's people haven't seen the notebook before. We just made a similar one and put it back in its place," another complete black cyborg laughed.

"Alright, everyone to your positions, move out!"

Team Xin clapped her hands lightly.

Immediately, the black complete cyborgs scattered and left.

Some walked out of the hall, some went up to the second floor, and some went to the basement.

Leaving one person behind, following behind Team Xin. The two of them walked towards the master bedroom on the second floor.

Reaching the top of the stairs, Team Xin quickly arrived at the door of the master bedroom, stopping in place.

"Under the third floorboard after entering the door," Team Xin said in a deep voice.

The black complete cyborg stepped forward, counting the floorboards, arriving at the third one, squatting down, and stretching out his index finger, transforming it into a sharp metal blade, stabbing it into the floorboard seam.

"It's hollow underneath." He looked at Team Xin, then continued to apply force.

With a crash, the floorboard was forcibly pried open, revealing a silver-black metal box below.

"There's even anti-scanning preparation, that old guy was really meticulous," Team Xin said in surprise.

"He can still cause so much trouble even after death, quite the talent," Two laughed.

He carefully took out the silver metal box and opened it.

Inside was a small cavity lined with black silk cloth.

On the silk cloth was a gray-brown leather notebook.

There were many tiny black spots on the notebook. Two took it out and held it in his hand, initially not paying attention.

But when he looked closer, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"Holy shit... what the hell is this?!"

"What's wrong?" Team Xin asked, hearing his voice.

"It's all ants! The surface of this notebook is completely covered in dead ants!" Two said in horror.

"Don't make such a fuss, take it, let's go. Leave the rest to the others." Team Xin said indifferently.

"Alright." Two suppressed his disgust, took the notebook, stood up, took out a completely dissimilar notebook and threw it in, then put the box and floorboard back in place.

The two quickly went downstairs, and the others had already finished the installation, waiting in the hall.

"Last thing, the integrated starter. One, go install them around the outside, put one in each direction. To ensure that all the traps can operate perfectly." Team Xin instructed.

"Yes!" One quickly went out.

"The rest of you, follow me and retreat." Team Xin took the lead and went out through the other side door.

The others followed behind, filing out.

The group stopped in the shadows of the woods on the side of the villa.

"Where is he? Why hasn't One arrived yet?" Team Xin turned her head back in confusion.

"He's too slow, I'll contact him." Two quickly said.

He pressed a button on the side of his face, quickly connecting to One's encrypted communication.

"Wait. Don't contact him yet." Team Xin's eyes flashed red, looking towards the direction of the foot of the mountain.

In that direction, in the darkness, a purple-black figure was rapidly approaching their location, its form like a leopard in the night, swift and agile.

"It's the guy who took down Aisha, he actually dared to come to our door." She raised her hand. "How foolish, daring to approach here head-on without any concealment. Perfect, we can take care of him completely."

As she raised her hand, the few people present all raised their right arms. The skin on their upper arms split open, and racks of miniature missile launch modules rose up.

This was the disposable weapon module they carried this time, which could launch a foam combustion missile of model 7793.

This type of missile could automatically track targets within a certain range, and its explosive power was enough to easily destroy a three-story building. Because its explosive flames are like foam, a large amount of white burning debris will rush out, so it is named Foam.

"Three rounds of launch," Team Xin said coldly.

"Wait! I can't lock onto him!?" Suddenly, a black complete cyborg exclaimed in surprise.

"Me too! Why doesn't that guy have any heat radiation!? No heat source radiation at all!?"

"Then switch to metal reaction tracking!" Team Xin shouted sharply.

The few of them adjusted their modes at the same time.

"No, he's not a metal complete cyborg either!"

"Still can't lock on!! What's going on with this guy!?"

The few of them exclaimed again.

Team Xin herself also discovered the problem. The locking system in front of her displayed a patch of red, and the reticle was constantly jumping, but it just couldn't lock on.

Watching Li ChengYi rapidly approach, the distance getting closer and closer, faster and faster.

"Immediately switch to dynamic capture, manual aiming!" she hurriedly roared.

The few of them hastily switched to manual mode.

But it was already too late.

Chi!!

A streak of gold flashed across the night sky, piercing through the torso of a black complete cyborg.

Before the others could react, several more streaks of gold flashed across the night in succession.

Chi chi chi chi!!!

Continuous cutting sounds rang out non-stop.

Bang!

One person was violently slammed against a tree trunk, nailed to it, unable to move.

Li ChengYi casually slashed, easily cutting his entire body, along with the tree trunk, into two sections.

He turned around.

"Can you tell me, did you secretly take something from the house just now?"

"You bastard..."

Team Xin's eyes were gloomy and grave. She had heard other branches mention this mysterious purple-black cyborg before, saying he was very troublesome.

At that time, she didn't take it seriously, but now it seemed...

This was no longer the extent of troublesome.

She put away the notebook she had just obtained with one hand, hiding it in the metal interlayer on the outside of her thigh.

"No heat source, no metal reaction, not any known alloy material, not even a communication signal on his body, you bastard... what the hell are you!?"

"Don't say it so harshly, by the way, can I ask a question?" Li ChengYi asked instead of answering.

In the moonlight, he walked step by step towards Team Xin, who was the only one left.

The rest of the black cyborgs had all fallen to the ground, their bodies cut to pieces.

"What are you most afraid of? What can make you fear me? Hate me?" He asked as he approached.

"How ridiculous, who do you think you are? As long as I'm willing, I can self-destruct here in an instant, and completely destroy your body along with me. Why should I be afraid of you?" Team Xin said coldly, feeling that the other party might have mental problems.

"Is that so? This is the complete cyborg? What a convenient ability." Li ChengYi paused.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"I want to figure out who you are?" Team Xin said in a cold voice, "Why do you keep going against us?"

So many complete cyborgs being killed was no small loss for their branch. She wouldn't be willing to not figure out what the opponent's background was!

Moreover, more importantly...

This time, in addition to her, there was another cyborg of the same level acting with her.

Compared to those complete cannon fodder models, they were the real main force and controllers of this operation.

And that guy was not comparable to those basic models just now. Compared to her, who was the commander, he was the real combat model.

'Just hold this guy back for a few minutes!'

Team Xin's gaze swept over the remains of the other complete cyborgs, which were flickering with electric sparks.

Her heart was faintly anxious.

"Actually, I also have a question I want to ask clearly." Li ChengYi also spoke at this time. His voice became sharp and ear-piercing through a simple voice changer, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female.

"What exactly is your Utopia pursuing from the Dead Angles?"

"You don't know?" Team Xin was stunned, seeming a little incredulous as she stared at Li ChengYi.

"You don't know anything, and you still came out to go against us??"

"Should I know?" Li ChengYi asked back.

"Perhaps... we don't have to be enemies." Team Xin's tone suddenly became peaceful.

She opened her hands, slowly approaching a little closer.

"Since you know our organization is called Utopia, you should also be curious, why do we call ourselves that, right?"

"Yeah, why?" Li ChengYi really didn't know.

"Friend, have you ever been in contact with real nobles?" Team Xin asked.
