Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2051 The mastermind who took the initiative to come to my door!

"Let him go!"

As soon as the two met, He Ming looked at Sergei and said.

The surrounding soldiers were taken aback and subconsciously looked at Sergei, who waved his hand without hesitation, signaling for Lor to be removed from the brainwave shielding device and all restraints to be released.

Lor didn't seem particularly excited about being freed; instead, he stared intently at little Iris sitting on He Ming's shoulders.

When Little Iris noticed Lor's gaze, she looked up and glared back, startling Lor so much that he quickly lowered his head.

This scene left the surrounding soldiers somewhat puzzled.

"You may all step back! I am sufficient here."

Immediately after Sergei dismissed all the bystanders, only He Ming, Little Elise, Lor and he remained in the room.

This seemingly dangerous decision was actually the safest one, and an incredulous glint appeared in Lor's eyes.

Only someone with absolute control over their surroundings would make such a decision.

"It seems I underestimated the colonel's status."

Lor raised his head and looked at Sergei.

"now what?"

Sergei asked calmly.

"I originally thought Colonel Sergei was a subordinate of the Pioneers, but I'm afraid it's not just that, is it?"

"Sergei is our partner, not our subordinate."

He Ming then answered Lor's question.

Upon hearing this, Lor turned around and bowed to He Ming.

"Salute to you! Pioneers who walk at the forefront of history!"

He Ming turned his gaze to Sergei, who shook his head.

"I am not a god, but just one of the mortals."

"No! To us, you are a god. It is because of your appearance that the first reformer in human history was able to point out the path to the future for us and let us see the inherent flaws of human nature."

Lor straightened up and looked at He Ming with a fanatical gaze.

At the same time, both He Ming and Sergei sensed the brain quantum waves that were constantly fluctuating around Lor.

"Sorry! I got a little excited!"

Lor immediately realized this and suppressed his brain quantum wave activity without hesitation to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

"It doesn't matter!"

He Ming pointed to a table not far away.

"Please! Let us sit down and talk, Lor. Or rather, the messenger of the Reformer rebels."

Sergei and Lor both showed expressions of shock.

Sergei was surprised that they hadn't discovered Lor's true identity.

Lor was surprised that He Ming could see through his disguise at a glance.

"As expected of the Pioneer! This sharp intuition is a power that we cannot reach."

"No amount of flattery can change my decision regarding you. Lor, to make things go more smoothly, I suggest you be more honest."

After gesturing for Sergei to sit down, He Ming gave Lor a warning.

"Of course! I don't ask the Pioneer to let me go, but being able to talk to the Pioneer like this is enough for me to remember for a lifetime."

Lor sat down opposite He Ming without hesitation, his submissive attitude a stark contrast to the divine messenger who had stirred up a wave of rebellion and caused the Earth Federation (Gundam 00) a great deal of trouble.

"Sergei, are you curious why I saw through his disguise at a glance?"

Instead of urging Lor to confess immediately, He Ming explained to his partner.

"Is it brain quantum waves?"

Sergei offered a conventional method for identifying change agents: "Yes, but no. The reason lies in his face."

He Ming pointed to Lor's face.

"My face?"

Lor pointed curiously at himself.

Logically speaking, his disguise was perfect.

Not to mention the Earth Federation (Gundam 00), even their own people would regard him as a relatively inexperienced, newly awakened innovator, rather than a divine messenger hidden behind the scenes.

"Yes. Unfortunately, before the ELS war, I fought a formidable enemy whose face looked very much like yours."

He Ming chuckled, a hint of killing intent rising within him, causing Luo Er's expression to change.

"Of course. You are not him. Or the divine messenger behind you is not him either. It's just that you, this so-called divine messenger, have been lucky enough to find something related to him."

After He Ming saw through Luo Er's disguise, Luo Er fell silent.

When Lor raised his head again, his eyes were filled with golden light, and his voice had changed slightly.

His voice changed from a clear, youthful tone to a hoarse, deep adult man's voice.

"Great sir, it is a pleasure to meet you! I am the messenger of the gods that those people speak of."

"You're not even willing to reveal your name?"

He Ming snorted coldly.

"No, it's just that I haven't used my real name in so long! I just forgot for a moment."

The man bowed slightly and said in greeting.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. My Lord Pioneer, I am Joey Kree. A bug who has survived the Legion's rampage to this day."

"An insect? You're underestimating yourself a bit! As an insect, how could you instigate a rebellion that sweeps across half the world?"

Sergei retorted.

"Heh! Colonel Sergei, you flatter me. Whether it was when I was almost killed by the Legion or now, I am nothing but an insect. The reason I am able to become the messenger of the gods in the mouths of the Innovators and be given their complete trust is because when I survived the Legion's claws, I obtained a body, a body in which I can entrust my brain."

Lor, no, it should be said that the divine messenger Joey Kree revealed an astonishing truth.

This fact, however, confirmed one of He Ming's guesses.

"That body is probably that of a potential innovator, isn't it?"

"Potential change-makers?"

Joey Kerry seemed a little surprised, but he immediately understood what Heming meant.

"Perhaps, as the Pioneer said, it was a body from a quasi-Innovator. After I used the Legion's remaining strength to transplant my brain there, I gained some... power."

"Among them is the power that can help me evade VEDA's intelligence network."

"No wonder VEDA never discovered your existence."

Sergei then realized what was going on.

He Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

This likely involves more than just the ability to detect VEDA's intelligence gathering in advance; it may also involve gaining technology that can influence other Innovators through the body of that quasi-Innovator.

Tieria's fate proves this point.

At the same time, Lor, in front of us, serves as an undeniable example.

All the evidence points to someone He Ming is very familiar with.

If He Ming hadn't already confirmed that the other party couldn't possibly escape from the microscopic world, one would almost believe that the one behind the trouble was Ribbons Almark, who was imprisoned in the microscopic world by He Ming.

Fortunately, after seeing Lor with his own eyes, He Ming could almost conclude that the so-called divine messenger had probably found something related to the quasi-changemen of the same series as Ribbons Almark under some circumstances, and thus gained some power.

Unexpectedly, this so-called divine messenger actually transplanted his own brain into the body of that potential Innovator of the series, thereby gaining the power to influence other Innovators and make them trust him.
