Chapter 235 Chapter 232 Locating Bane

Bain was hiding in the "valley" formed by the containers, with the XAST1 box next to him. Ever since he contacted the "friends" of the Blood Bat Gang about the transaction, he came to the trading location to squat. The location he chose was not where Zhuang Xuteng was.

You can find it at a glance on the roof. Only when you go to the ground and search carefully can you find this half-collapsed container. The missing part of the collapsed container is supported by other surrounding containers, forming a shelter.

He hid here, rested to regain his strength, and thought to calm himself. He judged that XAST1 was a very valuable item, especially to the Blood Bat Gang. He believed that the Blood Bat Gang was willing to pay a large price to buy it back

, and he also made some tricks in the box to ensure that the Blood Bat Gang could not do anything to him.

A figure just passed by at such a fast speed that Bain failed to see it clearly. He regarded the figure as a gangster from the Blood Bat Gang, guessing that they were setting up sentries for important gang figures who were present today to clear out danger. His location was very

Hidden. For the guy who was moving at high speed just now, the shadows here will flash by and it will be difficult to attract his attention. Bain thinks that he is hiding very safely. In a while, he will have a grand and mysterious

Appear.

If you only rely on sight, hearing and smell, Bain's shelter is indeed difficult to find, but Zhuang Xuteng also has an eye of shadow. On his way to the observation point, the supercomputer super cache·four flashes gave him a strong

And there was a brief shadow energy signal, as if there was a "dong" knock on his skull. Zhuang

Xu Teng immediately became alert, immediately adjusted his body posture and changed the direction of movement, drew an arc and climbed onto the stack of containers. With the "touch force" skill of super computing martial arts, he wandered between the containers like a gecko, circling around

Return to the position where the strong signal was just now, and you can still have your hands free to hit the signal for Ge Gong Road.

Metal objects can attenuate shadow energy signals, among which lead has the best effect. If the container door is closed, and there are so many containers on the dock, the signal of the XAST1 object can also be completely blocked. However, Bain needs to observe the external situation

, he left an open channel, which allowed Zhuang Xuteng to discover the leaked signal.

Zhuang Xuteng sneaked over carefully, his movements as light as a cat. After learning the "touch force" technique, he was able to accurately disperse the weight of his body evenly, and move his center of gravity coherently and smoothly, greatly reducing the noise caused by collisions and friction.

.In addition to two hands and two feet,

He also lowered his knees so that when he lifted one leg, the other leg still had two supporting points: the toes and knees. His posture came from the meat bag, which is what the snow leopard does when he lowers his body and sneaks around.

People use their front limbs, while Zhuang Xuteng uses his hind limbs.

There is no essential difference between front legs and back legs in terms of physics. Zhuang Xuteng held his breath, approached patiently, and successfully walked around to the back of the shelter where Bain was. He noticed the trip wire traps on the ground, and several seemingly randomly placed

The empty jars and broken glass actually have a warning purpose - but these can't affect him. To avoid the trip wire, choose to step on it and move forward according to other obstacles. Zhuang Xuteng can also ensure that they are evenly stressed and will not

Will deform, shift or break.

He saw Bain, Bain's back was turned to him, and the XAST1 box was in his hand. Zhuang Xuteng leaned over, brought his index and middle fingers together, and pressed them between Bain's neck and the back of his head, which is where the brainstem is.

"If you don't want to die, don't move." Zhuang Xuteng said, "Are you Bain?"

Bain's skin was sweating, and his right hand was moving slowly. The muscles of his arm affected his shoulders, which in turn caused changes in the skin of his neck. Zhuang Xuteng felt this. "Stop with your right hand, stop rubbing your left foot. You

I can smash your brainstem before you push forward. This is your last warning. Apart from speaking, any other action means your death."

"Kill me, and the box will explode. I have installed a safety device." Bain said: "You Blood Bat Gang can afford it, so don't even think about it for free."

"Listen, I'm not from the Blood Bat Gang." Zhuang Xuteng said: "You accepted the commission as a mercenary and took away extra things. Now you are being targeted, which is extremely detrimental to you. I have been tasked to take over

The thing returns to its original owner, your best choice is to give up this hot thing and save your own life."

"Mercenaries kill people without blinking an eye, you..."

"I'm not a professional killer, I just need to complete the commission safely." Zhuang Xuteng pressed his fingers a little harder and said at the same time: "Beck and Becky are not dead. They have food, drink and a place to sleep. If you are honest,

I will also let you go. The fact that you pretended to be a mercenary to disrupt the industry is not up to me. I can pretend that I don’t know what you look like."

"So, I still want to thank you?"

"Your life is in my hands, do you still care about suffering a loss in terms of etiquette?" Zhuang Xuteng scanned Bain with the Eyes of Shadow, trying to find the so-called "the box will explode as soon as he dies". He found a few

Skin implant, several imagers signal, but it is impossible to tell which one is the key.

"The Blood Bat Gang is willing to pay 800,000 euros to buy the box. If you nod and let me go, you can take half of it." Bain said: "The commission to recover the items can't make so much money, right? It's enough to make up for your losses.

, and you can earn another sum of money. By the way, you can sell the whereabouts of the box to its original owner, and this information can also earn you another sum of money."

"Not interested at all." Zhuang Xuteng gathered the energy from the shadow to his fingertips, ready to go, and said at the same time: "Last chance: deactivate the so-called bomb, hand over the box, you still have a chance to leave safely."

"There is a living human head in the box. It is an important figure of the Blood Bat Gang. They will definitely buy it back and install an implant in his body. The things inside are very fragile. The Blood Bat Gang does not dare to make mistakes. They

No matter how many people come, I can still complete the transaction. In the same way, you can't kill me because..."

Zhuang Xuteng sighed, then raised his left hand and slashed hard, hitting the back of Bain's neck hard. There was a pop, something broke, Bain's body went soft, and he fell down like mud. Zhuang Xuteng

Grab his clothes to prevent him from kowtowing and landing hard, and then ring the container like a bell.

"I...what's wrong..." Bain said tremblingly.

"The neck bone is broken, compressing the nerves, and causing temporary paralysis. I have a good grasp of my strength. If I send you to the hospital early, you can still be cured. But if it takes too long, you will definitely be paralyzed for life, and you will be unable to move from the neck down.

I can’t control my bowel movements either. Oh, don’t get too excited. Don’t dislike yourself when you smell the stench of urine and feces later.”

"How dare you..."

"Yes, how dare you waste your opportunity." Zhuang Xuteng took out the cloth, tied Bain's mouth, and then began to fumble around him, taking out the shadows one by one. When he turned it to his chest, Zhuang Xuteng paid attention to this

There was a fresh wound on the skin, and a wire was connected to a metal box the size of a finger.

"Pacemaker? Oh, if your heart stops beating, it will send out a signal to activate the explosives?" Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said: "Of course there is another possibility. As long as your heart beats, it will send out a signal not to explode.

, so as soon as you die, the bomb will detonate. Judging from your confident look, I guess it is the latter type."

"Woo...wu..." Bain was speechless and could only cry.

"Just wait for my partner to come and take you and this box away together." Zhuang Xuteng patted Bain's face and said, "I'll give you another choice: either I hand you and the box to the owner and let him go.

Worry about how to defuse the bomb, or you can seize the last chance and defuse the bomb for me, and I'll just take the box over. Now I'll unmuzzle you, it's your choice."

The cloth strips opened a crack, which was enough for Bain to speak. Under the current environment, he finally softened and said: "The signal will stop when the heart stops beating. The bomb is inside the box, taped to it. Open the box.

Just take it apart and throw it away. Take me to the hospital, take me to the hospital..."

"Are you done? Nothing more to add?" Zhuang Xuteng heard the affirmative reply, put the gag strip back on, and then began to inspect the XAST1 box. It was a silver-white metal box, 50 centimeters square, and said

It's not small, and it's not big either. Based on the feel, Zhuang Xuteng can be sure that this is a completely sealed box. At least it was designed and manufactured to be fully enclosed. Therefore, any problem that does not meet the "fully enclosed" issue must be related to

Bane related.

His idea is simple: since a continuous signal can ensure that the bomb does not explode, and the bomb is inside the metal box, in order to ensure that the bomb can receive the signal, there should be a receiving device inside and outside the box. According to this idea, Zhuang Xuteng followed the box's

I groped for the sealing line and found a thin metal wire connected to a thumbtack-shaped object. The metal wire was pressed by the box mouth and connected to the inside.

This was probably the signal receiver and the connecting cable. Zhuang Xuteng put his finger on it, and then removed it. He was not sure whether he could accurately control the absorption of only the shadow energy of the bomb series. After thinking briefly for a moment, he used the gentlest movement

Open the box, only a slit less than the thickness of a coin is revealed, and then poke the Wraith Servant inside.

The Lich Master's ultra-cache martial arts allows Zhuang Xuteng to connect his senses with the Wraith Servant, creating a skin-like effect to increase tactile perception in disguise.

When the servant of the resentful spirit enters, the effect is similar to that of stretching his hand in. Zhuang Xuteng can extend his "touching power" ability. Although it is far less than touching with real hands, under the effect of super calculation and four flashes, it is at least better than ordinary people.

Human touch is more sensitive.

"Thin wires, cylindrical metal pipes, and then...it's really stuck with tape. It's too crude." Zhuang Xuteng complained in his heart. He was already roughly sure that Bain chose to save himself at the last moment and finally told the truth.

Then, he groped around from the bomb tape in case there were other traps. As he groped, he touched a human face.

The human head is really a human head. Zhuang Xuteng was surprised. Is it possible that the current technology has advanced to the point where a human head can survive without being separated from the body? Huh... what research is the company conducting? If it is possible to replace the head, then as long as the brain is not damaged

If something goes wrong, can we continue to change bodies and survive? But think about it on the other hand, if the whole person except the head is a shadow slave, then the side effects will be terrible? Even if the body can be replaced, if something goes wrong, it will

It’s not a problem, but how to solve the mental side effects?

Hey, you're not studying this, so why worry about the company? Zhuang Xuteng didn't touch the second suspicious item, so he slowly opened the box. He was going to tear off the tape of the bomb, throw it away entirely, and then return the box

To the owner, Bain was sent to the hospital. But after opening the box, he froze, his eyes staring straight inside, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.

The human head had the face of an otter.

For the first time in his life, Zhuang Xuteng couldn't believe his graphic memory. He forced himself to close his eyes, think about it carefully, and then opened it again. The head in front of him still had the face of an otter, the only difference was that the head was shaved, the eyes were closed, and the face was

It's as gray as ashes and the whole head is a little smaller.

At this time, Zhuang Xuteng felt that his mouth was dry and his ears were buzzing, which then turned into a sharp scream. He opened his mouth wide, balanced the ear pressure to eliminate the tinnitus, and tried to control his emotions, slowly letting his reason regain the initiative.

.At this time, he could move his hands, slowly tear off the bomb, and throw it casually on Bain - during the whole process, his eyes never left the otter's head.

He should be dead. There is only one head left, and he is dead. But in the sight of the Eye of Shadow, the entire energy of the shadow slave in the box is constantly inputting into his head and concentrated into his brain, and this energy will

Fluctuations in intensity occur as it passes through the brain, as if there is thought there.

Zhuang Xuteng sat on the ground, patted his head with both hands, and told himself that he had to cheer up at this time. He was finally able to move his eyes away from his head, and then saw other equipment in the box. According to the buttons above, this box can keep a person's head in place

"Active" and allows him to communicate. The head can hear sounds and his thoughts can be projected onto the display. If external devices are added, it can also restore vision and even speak.

How did the otter turn into a human head in the box? Zhuang Xuteng's finger was hanging in the air, stopping on the "Start Communication" button. He hesitated for a while before pressing it. At this time, a powerful shadow energy was generated from inside the box, like a torrent.

It was poured into the head suddenly. The otter's face was trembling, his expression was ferocious and twisted, his eyelids were beating, but he couldn't open them.

A line of words appeared on the screen: What's going on?

After these two words, there is a three-minute countdown.

"Otter, how did you become like this? Are you still alive?"

Zhuang Xuteng approached the microphone, his voice trembled involuntarily, and he reluctantly said this. Then, the answer appeared on the screen: "I don't know. And, I don't know."

"Otter, I am..." Zhuang Xuteng wanted to say Naike, but he hesitated. This is the company's equipment, and there may be recording instruments in it. Every word he speaks may leave traces. Even if it is not recorded

If you hand it over, who can guarantee that what you say now will not be transmitted?

Keeping the otter's head... leaving it can't save him, so what's the point? The current dialogue has a three-minute countdown, the countdown of the entire box, what is the countdown to the otter's head? If Zhuang Xuteng had a way to find a body for the otter and let him

He might try to come back to life, but in this situation, he has very few options.

"What do you need?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"Death, certain death. (Ignore this answer, it has no guiding significance. For specific explanation, please refer to the 77th test summary of XA00 project.)"

For the XA00 project, the box is called XAST1. Could this ST be an otter? The more Zhuang Xuteng thought about it, the more chilled he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt at a loss. At this moment, Ge Gongdao’s plain language call came from the earphone:

"Support! The fight is about to begin!"

I had something to do while driving out of the city today, so I didn’t write much, sorry...

/me runs away quickly.
