Chapter 795 You're awesome

"Your junior said that the female ghost looks just like his mother?" Cui Ming leaned back in the Seth team's command chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and looked at Kotaro standing opposite him. "Yes, Captain. I think this should be useful information." Kotaro nodded affirmatively. Duff's shocked and pained expression at the time didn't seem fake. "He reacted very strongly when he saw the robot's face."

Meanwhile, at the Seto team's base, Cui Ming and Kotaro were reviewing the intelligence gathered at the scene. Kotaro's findings had been relayed to Cui Ming via communication, giving him a general understanding of the situation.

However, Cui Ming frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss. "The information you provided should match up; that female ghost clearly hates cars, which aligns with the fact that your friend's mother died in a car accident. However..."

He thought carefully about his feelings when he arrived at the scene, then shook his head: "There was no feeling of ghosts over there." Cui Ming touched his head, trying hard to recall the energy fluctuations in the air, "It was just pure mechanical energy and a little chaotic biological energy, without any sinister aura, so where would the ghosts come from?"

"No ghosts?" Kotaro was also surprised. The robot's eerie laughter and behavior at the scene looked like a ghost story. "But its appearance and behavior are too similar, aren't they?"

If there are no ghosts, that's strange; it can't be a supernatural event that appeared out of thin air. Cui Ming's fingertips paused, suddenly recalling the details Kotaro had reported earlier: "Ask your friend's father; wasn't he acting suspiciously this morning?"

Choi was referring to Shingo, the father of Tatsuo's junior, whom Kotaro had mentioned earlier. Shingo had left home this morning looking flustered and deliberately avoiding their affairs. "He can create a robot that looks exactly like his deceased wife, and he has such a deep resentment towards cars. This matter might be related to him."

Cui Ming and his team acted swiftly, immediately finding the junior and heading straight to his house!
Through conversations with Shingo, the father of Tatsuo, a junior colleague of Kotaro, the two finally understood the whole story—this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man had actually created a robotic wife who looked exactly like his deceased wife through self-study.

"So that 'female ghost' causing chaos on the street is the robot you made?" Cui Ming sat on the sofa in Xinwu's house, staring sharply at the other person, his tone filled with an unquestionable scrutiny.

Shingo's face was pale, his hands gripping the hem of his clothes tightly. After a long silence, he nodded with difficulty: "It was me who created the Holy Son. I just wanted her to come back." At this point, his voice choked, and his eyes reddened. "Perhaps my hatred for cars has been influenced by the program. I never expected her to turn out like this."

Kotaro, listening nearby, was horrified, never expecting that Duff's father would actually do something so outrageous: "Do you know she caused a car accident in the street? Someone has already been injured!"

"I...I didn't know she would go out of control after starting it," Shingo explained frantically. "I just finished debugging the last program, and I thought it had failed. Who knew she would disappear that night? I'm looking for her everywhere."

Cui Ming stroked his chin, connecting this information with the situation on the ground: "So, you created that robot, and your resentment towards cars affected its programming, causing it to attack cars like crazy. As for that monster," he changed the subject, "is it also related to your robot?"

Shingo was visibly taken aback when he heard the word "monster," then shook his head. "Monster? I don't know anything about that. I've never studied these things." He frowned, trying to recall, then suddenly seemed to remember something. "But... at the Holy Son's grave, I buried our pet parrot there too. That parrot starved itself to death because it missed the Holy Son so much." His eyes were blank; he hadn't realized that the parrot was related to monsters, and had just casually mentioned it as a side note.

Cui Ming and Guang Taro exchanged a glance, their hearts skipping a beat at the same time—this clue had finally come together.

Although he felt that the whole thing was outrageous and completely overturned conventional understanding, Choi Myung had to admit that this father named Shingo was really quite amazing.

An ordinary person with no professional background, driven solely by his obsession with his deceased wife, single-handedly mastered the difficult subjects of machine manufacturing and programming, creating a robot identical to his wife—this in itself is astonishing enough. Even more outrageous is that this robot he created could trigger a series of chain reactions, using lightning to revive a dead parrot and even transforming it into a monster.

Cui Ming stroked his chin, a complex look in his eyes. Creating robots might be possible for exceptionally talented individuals, but to imbue a robot with such unbelievable abilities—abilities that even aliens would find baffling—is beyond simple "amazing." This operation has transcended normal technological boundaries, carrying an air of inexplicable strangeness.

"To be self-taught to this extent, he's quite a talent," Cui Ming muttered to himself. Although this ability was misused and caused trouble, his practical skills and dedication were truly admirable. Kotaro nodded in agreement, feeling the same way about his father, finding him both pitiful and remarkable.

Looking at Shingo, whose face was filled with guilt and a hint of dejection, Cui Ming remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Your skills are truly unparalleled. Would you be interested in joining the research department of the Set team?"

Shingo abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Me? Joining the Seth team?"

“Yes,” Cui Ming nodded. “Your self-taught skills are impressive; it would be a shame to leave them in the civilian world. But there’s something I need to make clear: the robot you created definitely has to be destroyed. It’s already out of control and causing chaos; keeping it around is too dangerous.”

Upon hearing that the robot was to be destroyed, Shingo's eyes dimmed, but he did not object, after all, it was his obsession that had brought trouble to everyone.

Cui Ming noticed his disappointment and added, "But don't be discouraged. As long as you join us and do your research well, you can make any kind of robot you want, as long as it's compliant with regulations. If you want to make a commemorative one, as long as it doesn't harm society, we can provide technical support to help you make an even more perfect and safer one."

Kotaro chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Shingo, your skills are truly amazing. You'll be able to play an even greater role by joining the Seth team."

Looking into Choi Myeong's sincere eyes, and then at Kotaro encouraging him, Shingo's gloom gradually dissipated, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes. Perhaps this was an opportunity to let his skills truly shine, and the best way to honor his wife.

But why does that sound so strange?! Shingo's expression froze instantly, his mind racing: What does "get another wife" even mean?! That sounds so awkward! Although he knew Choi Myung meant well, this way of putting it was truly laughable. "So, please don't mind us destroying that robot," Choi Myung said, noticing Shingo's slightly stiff expression, assuming he was reluctant, and emphasized it again. Choi Myung was always very polite to capable people, after all, talent is rare. Besides, this guy's situation was purely accidental; his initial intention wasn't to cause destruction, it was just that his obsession had gone astray.

Who the hell would have thought this robot could create a monster?! Cui Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. He had seen robots go out of control and cause destruction before, but he had never seen one that could go out of control and then perform a resurrection spell and a species mutation. This operation simply refreshed his understanding of the upper limit of "technological accidents".

Shingo took a deep breath, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, and shook his head at Choi Myung: "I don't mind that I didn't do a good job and caused trouble for everyone." He knew that keeping that out-of-control robot was indeed a hidden danger, and destruction was an inevitable result, but when he heard "make another one", he still couldn't help but feel embarrassed and helpless.

Just then, Cui Ming's communicator suddenly beeped urgently. It was Moriyama's voice, visibly tense: "Captain! Monster spotted! Over the eastern industrial zone, a bird-like monster! It's wreaking havoc!"

"Excellent! Move out and kill them!" Cui Ming's eyes sharpened, and he decisively gave the order. He and Kotaro exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes, and then immediately ran towards the armory to prepare for the attack. Although Duff knew the danger, he insisted on following to see what was going on because the out-of-control robot was related to his mother. Kotaro couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had to let him stay in the safe zone.

Soon, the Yukikaze took off again, speeding towards the direction of the monster. Meanwhile, in the industrial area, the Holy Child robot was floating in mid-air, emitting eerie "hahaha" laughter like a female ghost, waving its hands to command the monster Eregia.

Under her control, Eregia became even more ferocious. Its enormous wings whipped up gusts of wind, and its hard head slammed into the factory buildings. Flames of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius spewed out, igniting the surrounding buildings. Thick smoke billowed, and the entire industrial zone instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire, in utter chaos.

Kotaro hovered low in his fighter jet, looking at the chaotic scene before him. He turned to Duff beside him and complained helplessly, "Isn't this robot a bit too much of a disgrace to your mother's reputation? Look at her, laughing like a ghost and directing monsters to cause destruction. Your mother was so gentle and kind when she was alive, she was never like this."

Duff clenched his fists, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in mid-air, his face pale, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew Kotaro was telling the truth, but the fact that it resembled his mother made him feel uneasy. "I...I didn't know it would turn out like this," he replied hoarsely.

The battle officially began. Cui Ming, piloting the Yukikaze, quickly rendezvoused with the Sky Whale, forming an aerial combat formation. With Cui Ming's command, the two fighters launched a fierce attack in the sky, their laser cannons blasting towards Eregia with ear-piercing whistling sounds.

The parrot monster Eregia, having already been terrified by the familiar oppressive aura emanating from Cui Ming, was now completely panicked by the real attack. Still haunted by the earlier fright from Cui Ming's presence, it was utterly bewildered. Under the relentless bombardment of the Yukikaze and the Sky Whale, it howled in agony in the air, its wings struck in several places, its flight path erratic and erratic.

But that wasn't the worst part. Just as Eregia was trying to dodge the aerial attack, a red figure descended from the sky like a meteor—it was Asuka piloting the Red Balam! She precisely locked onto the monster's location and swooped down with overwhelming force, her massive mechanical fist brimming with immense power, mercilessly slamming into Eregia's back.

With a loud "Boom!", Eregia was thrown off balance by the sudden heavy blow and fell to the ground with a scream like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the open ground in the industrial area and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Good job, Asuka, keep it up!" Cui Ming shouted into the communicator, his eyes fixed on the struggling monster on the ground.

"Understood! Kill this guy!" Asuka's maniacal voice came through the communicator, and then she controlled the red Balam to draw a huge axe from behind, the blade gleaming coldly in the firelight.

Eregia, who was lying on the ground, was about to struggle to her feet when she looked up and saw the giant axe. Her eyes widened instantly, and a terrified whimper escaped her throat—What are you going to do?!

Meanwhile, the Holy Child robot was still floating in mid-air, and Kotaro had already aimed at her. "Duff, I'm about to fire," Kotaro said in a deep voice, waiting for his junior's confirmation.

"Go ahead, senior, it's alright. Dad will make a normal one next time," Duff said through gritted teeth, a hint of hesitation still in his eyes.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the Holy Son robot suddenly opened its mouth and emitted a strange song. The song was sharp and distorted, completely devoid of any beauty, sending chills down one's spine.

Well, to put it simply, that one song instantly erased the last vestige of hesitation in Duff's heart, leaving him with unwavering resolve! "Shoot! She sings like a ghost!" Duff yelled, covering his ears. "If she keeps singing like that, I'll have nightmares tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Kotaro no longer hesitated and pulled the trigger. The laser beam struck the Holy Child robot precisely, exploding in mid-air in a burst of sparks.

To be honest, if the robot didn't sing, looking at that face that was exactly like his mother's, Duff might have hesitated for a moment, after all, it was a creation that carried his father's longing. But the moment she started singing, Duff was completely taken aback.

"Damn it! Flames were shooting into the sky in the industrial zone, monsters were howling on the ground, and what are you trying to do, you robot that looks like a mother floating in mid-air singing this weird song?!" The voice was shrill and ethereal, like the sound of fingernails scraping glass mixed with electrical static, making one's neck break out in a cold sweat. Duff couldn't help but curse inwardly: "You almost scared me to death!!!"
No wonder Duff reacted so strongly. The singing was just too damn scary. There was no melody whatsoever, just a series of broken, eerie syllables. Coupled with the robot's expressionless face singing, it was more terrifying than a ghost appearing in a horror movie. Let alone someone like Duff who already carries complex emotions, anyone would get goosebumps and have their heart race if they heard that singing in such a situation.

The moment Kotaro pulled the trigger, Duff even breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his ears finally free from the torment of that ear-piercing sound. Watching the sparks explode in the air, he had only one thought in his mind: Just end this absurdity already. (End of Chapter)
