From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 171 Showdown
The situation of the Sykes civilization seems to have undergone a subtle change because of a message sent from the wasteland planet.

This change may seem small, but its impact is far-reaching.

The support rate of the escape faction increased by two or three percentage points. Looking at this number alone, it does not seem to be large, but when applied to individual Sykes citizens, it would amount to tens of millions of people.

A reminder message caused tens of millions of people to change their minds and support the exodus faction. This change cannot be said to be small.

Unfortunately, this reminder message was sent by Lu Heng.

Lu Heng didn't expect things to turn out like this.

After careful recollection, I confirmed that there was no such person as Yelianna Sykes among the leaders of the escape faction in my previous life.

In other words, Yelianna Sykes most likely chose to join the Exiles and become the leader of the faction because of the message sent by her father.

Laclinie Sykes's reminder has become the ideological propaganda slogan of the exiles. It is no wonder that Yeliana Sykes, as her daughter, was pushed to the position of leader by the exiles.

"Looking at the current situation, Hasegawa Satoshi may have already gained a certain amount of power in the escape faction, and it should be difficult for us to join the escape faction now." After reading the information on the Internet, Su Muyu felt that the situation was very unfavorable to him.

After Lu Heng thought for a while, he said, "That's not necessarily true."

"Have you thought of a way to break the impasse?" Su Muyu immediately guessed that Lu Heng had thought of a solution.

Lu Heng began to look up information about Yelianna Sykes in the media of Sykes civilization, and then summarized the city where she was located based on the news.

As the leader of the faction, Yelianna Sykes needs to travel around to give speeches and gain more supporters.

So, the news will report Yelianna Sykes's speech.

There will even be a preview of the speaking venue.

"Let's go directly to Ye Lianna Sykes. There's no need for communication. We can just talk to her directly. She has a speech in City No. 3 tomorrow. We can find out where she lives and find a way to meet her." Lu Heng decided to bypass the communication method and talk directly to the faction leader.

the next day.

After Ye Lianna Sykes finished her speech, Su Muyu used the Divine Feather Eagle to track her and determine where she would stay at night.

Wait until after 8pm.

Lu Heng and the other two came to Ye Lianna Sykes's residence and explained their purpose to the surveillance camera at the door. Soon the door opened.

A household robot was waiting at the door, scanning up and down with a scanning beam before leading the three people into the house.

The furnishings in the house are very classical, with a sense of cyber-renaissance mixed with a sense of science fiction, which is very unique.

now.

Yelianna Sykes uses a bionic skin care device to iron the skin on her arms.

Bionic skin is indeed the cutting-edge technology of the Sykes civilization, but it requires regular maintenance to maintain the texture of the bionic skin.

"Hello, Miss Sykes, or is it more appropriate to call her Ms.?" Lu Heng was the first to greet.

"I know you, the superpowers from human civilization, but you are dangerous. I need to remind you that this house has the highest level of security. As long as I send a signal, you will be arrested and sent to federal prison." Yelianna Sykes' tone was not very friendly.

Lu Heng frowned and said, “We have no ill intentions.”

Yelianna Sykes sneered in a way that even humans could recognize, turned on the holographic screen, and played a piece of news.

The news reported that an alien creature escaped from the Mechanical Colosseum, and the photo accompanying the news was of Lu Heng and his two companions.

Lu Heng glanced at the news and spread his hands, saying, "We just don't want to become toys for mechanical fighting beasts. We didn't do anything extreme. On the contrary, there are betrayers around you."

"Oh? What you want to say is that you tried to meet up twice yesterday and were attacked, right?" Yelianna Sykes already knew what happened yesterday.

"Obviously, the location and time of the meeting have been leaked," said Lu Heng.

"It may be possible that you leaked it yourself. Besides, you know nothing about the technology of our civilization, so it is not that difficult to monitor your location." Yelianna Sykes did not believe that there was a traitor around her.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to escape the ubiquitous surveillance network of the Sykes civilization.

But Lu Heng and the other two are fully capable of doing so.

The civilian surveillance network of the Sykes civilization still relies more on infrared scanning, but Su Muyu's invisibility skills can block infrared scanning.

As for higher-level surveillance technology, it is not available everywhere.

In addition, Lu Heng has sufficient experience, so the possibility of being monitored does not exist.

Lu Heng then asked, "I have a question. Once we know the answer to this question, we will know where the problem lies. Did any human join a faction not long ago?"

Yelianna Sykes narrowed her eyes slightly and did not answer the question: "What do you want to say?"

Lu Heng saw her reaction and guessed the answer.

The fact that she didn't answer showed that the guess was correct.

If no human had ever joined, she could just answer no and there was no need to hide it.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "It seems that you trust this person very much, but you'd better believe my advice, this person is very dangerous."

In fact, after probing to this extent, it can be confirmed that Hasegawa Satoshi did come in early and joined the escape faction. He even met Ye Lianna Sykes and gained her trust.

The human who joined the escape group could only be Hasegawa Satoshi.

The danger level of the abyss battlefield this time is level 5, and it is a battle for source essence, so the scale will not be small, with at least 30 people or more.

Therefore, other human beings with special abilities must have been recruited.

However, these recruited people with special abilities were teleported in just the day before yesterday, and it is impossible for them to gain power in the escape faction so quickly.

Only Hasegawa Tomo came in early, and due to the different time flow speeds in the two worlds, Hasegawa Tomo may have been here for more than a month.

Such a long time was enough for him to climb to a very high position in the fugitive faction.

Ye Lianna Sykes smiled and said, "Sure enough, he had already predicted that you would come to him and slander him in order to alienate the members of our faction. Everything is just as he expected."

Lu Heng's expression froze and his brows furrowed.

Things are far more difficult than expected.

"What else did he say? I'm really curious."

"He also said that you would discredit him and then use the information from the Abyss to make a deal with me. You did bring information related to the Abyss, right?" Yelianna Sykes seemed to have seen through everything.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "So you choose to believe him instead of us, right?"

Ye Lianna Sykes replied calmly, "Of course, you shouldn't expect me to believe what you say when we meet for the first time." Lu Heng looked around and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that person also suggested that you capture or even kill us when you see us. There should be a powerful robot ambushed in this house. Is that right?"

Yelianna Sykes did not deny it either, and nodded and replied, "It's quite interesting to chat with you, but unfortunately your actions are all predictable."

She looked at the time and said, "You don't have much time left. If you can't convince me within five minutes, I will have to get rid of you to prevent future troubles."

"Since I dare to come here, I must have a trump card, and it is a trump card that that person doesn't know." Lu Heng remained calm.

"Take out whatever cards you have. You still have four and a half minutes." Yelianna Sykes looked indifferent, as if she was about to lose her patience.

Lu Heng took a deep breath, put on a serious expression, and said, "I have met your father, Laclinie Sykes."

Yelianna Sexton immediately showed her anger and shouted: "You are not qualified to mention my father! His contribution to civilization is something you reptiles will never understand!"

Seeing that she cared so much about her father, Lu Heng smiled even brighter, and then changed the subject and asked, "After talking for so long, don't you think my voice is a little familiar?"

Ye Lianna Sykes's eyes fixed, and the computer in her mind quickly analyzed Lu Heng's voice waves and immediately found the problem.

She angrily shouted, "How dare you imitate that recording! You are challenging my bottom line!"

The recording that was sent over was indeed recorded by Lu Heng himself, but the escape faction had released that recording during their propaganda.

Therefore, it is not difficult to obtain this recording as long as one is willing to collect it.

Then, it is not too difficult to imitate the voiceprint of this recording.

Lu Heng scratched his forehead with his fingers, spread his hands and said, "I was the one who sent this recording, there is no need to imitate it."

Yelianna Sykes narrowed her eyes slightly: "Do you know what will happen if you deceive me?"

Lu Heng spread his hands and said, "How about this. I have evidence to prove that I have indeed seen your father. I can show you the evidence, but in exchange, you hand over Hasegawa Satoshi to me. Deal?"

Ye Lianna Sykes's face was still furious, and she snorted coldly, "You want to exchange faction members with a certificate whose authenticity is unknown. Aren't you overthinking it?"

Lu Heng spread his hands and said, "If I can't prove it, you can just give the order to do it. If I do have evidence to prove that I have seen your father, then handing over the traitor around you is not a very high request for you."

Yelianna Sykes was very calculating and was able to distinguish the pros and cons of this matter from the beginning.

However, when Lu Heng mentioned her father, her emotions fluctuated greatly, so she could not calm down her anger.

After a moment of silence, Yelianna Sykes said coldly: "Okay, bring out the evidence."

In fact, she also wanted to know what happened to her father in the last moments of his life.

Lu Heng waved outside, sending a radio signal to call the mechanical tiger in.

After the mechanical tiger entered the room, it walked into the living room, then bent down towards Yelianna Sykes and made a salute.

The moment Yelianna Sykes saw the mechanical tiger, her expression froze.

Because this is her father's mechanical fighting beast and also a guard beast.

Moreover, this mechanical fighting beast is numbered 101 and is an early mechanical guard beast.

In the owner information bound to the mechanical tiger, Laclinie Sykes is the first and Yelianna Sykes is the second.

Lu Heng is the third choice.

So when the mechanical tiger entered the room, it prostrated itself before Yelianna Sykes.

"Ankh!"

Yelianna Sykes showed a surprised expression on her face and called out the name of the mechanical tiger.

This is the name she gave to the mechanical tiger when she was a child, it was called "Anka"!
She didn't recognize it based on its appearance, because the mechanical tiger's appearance could change freely according to the properties of liquid metal.

Her method of identifying the mechanical tiger was very direct. She only needed to connect the signal and check the serial number.

So, she recognized it at a glance. This was the mechanical beast that was guarding her father.

"Why is Anka here with you!" Yelianna Sykes was very puzzled.

Because she checked the owner information of the mechanical tiger, which contained Lu Heng's information.

In other words, Lu Heng is the owner of the mechanical tiger and is third in line.

Lu Heng explained: "This is a gift from Mr. Laklini to thank me for delivering the message for him. You should know better than me that without Mr. Laklini's consent, I can't become the owner of Ankh."

Ye Lianna Sykes was naturally aware of this. This program was bound to the mechanical core, and the program could not be changed unless the mechanical core was destroyed.

In other words.

The information about the third-order owner in the mechanical core of the mechanical tiger has proved that it was Laclini who personally gave his mechanical guard beast to Lu Heng.

Yelianna Sykes's expression changed from shock to confusion, and she murmured to herself: "You really met my father..."

"Yes, I have met him and did a small thing for him. But I didn't expect that the message I conveyed would become a faction propaganda slogan." Lu Heng also sighed.

"Is he... okay when he's alive?" Yelianna Sykes put aside her hostile attitude and asked about her father's condition.

Judging from her performance, although she has undergone mechanical transformation, she still retains the father-daughter relationship.

"Not too good. The brain was kept in an incubator for fifteen years." Lu Heng briefly described the situation at the time.

However, several key pieces of information were omitted.

The first piece of information omitted is that Lacline Sykes's brain was contaminated by the Abyss.

The second omitted information is that he killed Laclinie Sykes's brain with his own hands.

For Lacquerne Sykes, death was a relief.

Lu Heng helped him get rid of it.

However, if this information was told to Ye Lianna Sykes, Lu Heng would be the murderer of her father.

Therefore, Lu Heng simply omitted these two key pieces of information and only said that he had met Laclinie Sykes and helped him pass on the message, and then received a mechanical tiger as a reward.

Yelianna Sykes beckoned the mechanical tiger Anka to her, then reached out and gently stroked it: "Anka, you've always stayed with your father, right? Good boy..."

Lu Heng struck while the iron was hot and said, "Then, according to the initial agreement, can you hand Hasegawa Satoshi over to me? Or just tell me his location."
