Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1645: The truth is revealed

"This is really... a big trouble." After receiving Rebil's reply, Cruze couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. He just wanted to satisfy his own bad taste. Cruze also thought that he would be retaliated by Huang and the others, but he didn't expect that Huang would be so serious and so angry this time. He was in big trouble.

"Sir, what do you need me to do?"

If Fleur Monroe saw this scene, she would be so surprised that her mouth would not close. Because Orvan Ranks, who had been dismissive of her and even did not take Cruze seriously, was standing behind Cruze at this time. His respectful attitude was as if he treated Cruze as his master, and he was like Cruze's most loyal knight.

The guards who followed Orvan Lanxes at the time also stood straight in a row in the room, without any emotional fluctuations, like machines that only obeyed orders.

"You don't need to do anything." Cruze shook the red wine glass in his hand and took a sip.

To Cruze, neither Ovan Ranks nor these guards were of much value to him. They were originally used to train new abilities. Now that the training was completed and they were fully under control, these people were of no value. If he had not promised Fleur Monroe to keep these people alive for the time being, he would have gotten rid of them long ago.

That's right, Cruze developed a new ability. Originally, Cruze's control ability also used mental waves to create invisible threads to control people, just like a puppet. He controlled Fleur Monroe and Orvan Lanxes in the same way before, but now...

The performance of Orvan Lanxes is not as simple as his body being controlled by the silk thread, but... Cruze can already insert the thread of mental wave into the human brain to brainwash and control it from the mental level. Moreover, this ability is completely different from forced brainwashing. It will not forcibly change the memory, but it will force people to act according to Cruze's ideas on the mental surface. In other words, the personality and memory of the target are not affected at all, but they can only watch Cruze control themselves and can do nothing.

Moreover, Cruze was very sure that even if the target's mental wave level and strength were higher than his own, as long as it was not more than twice as high, he would not be able to remove the thread from his brain, and could only struggle to a certain extent accordingly.

It has to be said that this ability is very consistent with Cruze's character. Cruze never likes tough measures. He prefers to play with other people's minds and enjoy the process of other people's degeneration.

Another point is that Cruze took the initiative to remove the thread from the target's brain, which would not cause any damage to the brain. As for whether the things he did when being controlled would cause psychological trauma... that depends on one's own opinion.

"Yes, my lord."

"By the way, after you went back yesterday, Grundon asked you about it. How did you respond?" Cruze asked Ovan Ranks casually. Ovan Ranks was a man with a very strong will, and he could resist his body control with willpower alone. So he didn't want to know anything from Ovan Ranks, but...

"Please rest assured, Lord Cruze. Granton did ask me about you, but I responded by saying that I didn't find anything. The guards also spoke with one voice, and Furu's injuries served as evidence, so Granton didn't become suspicious." Ovan Ranks reported respectfully without any emotion.

"Yes, I understand." As far as it seems, Ovan Lanxes knows the same thing as he does, and he has not noticed any fluctuations, which means that he is indeed under his control. "Take your people back first, and don't come to the palace too often recently, so as not to arouse Gulandon's suspicion."

"Do your will."

This is the effect of fully mastering the new ability. What Cruze needs is a low-end version of El Elf, a subordinate who may be a little lacking in ability or not professionally suitable, but can think independently and does not have too many thoughts. If it were Carolan, he would definitely ask to leave two or three guards to help him with chores and demonstrate his value as much as possible.

This is the disadvantage of trying too hard. If you like to over-interpret orders, try to figure out Cruze's thoughts, and try your best to express yourself, you will easily add unnecessary details and reveal flaws.

"My Lord, routine report."

After Ovan Ranks and his guards had left the room for a while, Al Elf climbed into the room through the window. Cruze would not show all his cards to Ovan Ranks and others just because he controlled them. In other words... he did not let Ovan Ranks know anything at all, including the existence of Al Elf and that the important areas of Free had been fully controlled.

"Go ahead." "Ovan Lanxes was summoned by Granton yesterday to inquire about the outsiders. Using the guards as witnesses and Fulu Monroe's injuries as evidence, Ovan Lanxes did not reveal any information about us to Granton."

"only these?"

"There are two things I cannot confirm."

"what's up?"

"First, Orvan Ranks' movements became stiff for a very short time after he left the Granton mansion. Second, after Orvan Ranks left, Granton locked himself in the study and did not see anyone. An hour later, he went to the hangar and debugged the machine."

"Hmm... interesting." Cruze touched his chin and thought. There was no need to ask the first point. It must be that Ovan Ranks still wanted to rely on his willpower to break free from Cruze's control. This also showed that his decision to conceal was correct, and... he found that he needed to increase the strength of his mental waves.

The second thing was that Gulenton's actions were a bit strange. Although they were not exposed, Gulenton seemed to be preparing to launch an armed coup.

"Al Elf, what do you think?" Cruze asked Al Elf. Al Elf does have a very high execution ability, but it does not mean that he only knows how to carry out tasks. On the contrary, Al Elf's vision is also among the best.

"Our intelligence should not have been leaked. It is very likely that Carolan and Queen Shanamia revealed something, causing Granton to become suspicious." El Elf expressed his guess without hesitation.

"go on."

"Since we arrived in Free, Orlando Ziyun and Dania Gad have increased the frequency of their visits to the palace. The relationship between Carolan and Granton has also changed to a certain extent. Granton should have noticed something was wrong and is preparing to speed up his pace."

"Sure enough..." Cruze sneered, and became more determined to get rid of Carolan. As for Shanamia...it can only be said that the reason why Granton could become the general representative of the knights was not just because of his muscles, but also because he had some brains.

"My lord, it is not appropriate to deal with Carolan now. We should at least wait until the Gulandon faction is completely destroyed." El Elf reminded.

"Well, I know that, and I'm not in a hurry. Are you ready for everything else?"

"It's ready. Your body has been transported to Fury through the passage we came in through. There are three teams of the rapid response force on standby outside Fury, led by [Scarlet Lightning] Johnny Riding and [Black Death of the Dancing Corpse] Lid Wolfe."

"... Still can't contact Advant?" Cruze would not fight a battle without confidence. Without Yang Hui and Advant, the time-stop device would still be a thorny problem. He couldn't let the elite of the Promise Legion suffer losses because of a little Free.

"No."

"I understand. Please send a visiting card to Orlando Ziyun for me. I will visit him quietly tonight."

"learn."
