Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 274 273. In the end, do we still need to find someone with connections to investigate?
A little later in time, Cypher (his real self) was sitting leisurely in front of Feldrich.

There was a special safe road from the hotel to the car, and no "bodyguards" were needed for this section, so Seifer turned off the backup body in advance and walked out of the main control cabin.

So that she can have hot meals when she comes... Thinking of this, the others were not very satisfied either, so I sent them a message and told them to have another meal together in the car after I come back.

Feldrich half-closed his eyes and asked Seifer what the bowl... the basin... in front of him was.

"Well, I got some good quality flour and made it myself. You know hand-rolled noodles?"

"You think I would understand something that has nothing to do with my research?"

That's true, Sefer explained to her. It's a kind of handmade pasta, which is characterized by being very filling but tasteless.

Therefore, it is necessary to stir-fry minced meat and various necessary seasonings, add water, quickly thicken it, and then add some chopped vegetables that Sefer can find to increase the taste to make a sauce with a rich taste.

The so-called spaghetti bolognese was also one of the famous staple foods in the world of Sefer's previous life.

Unfortunately, Sefer didn't really know how to make alkaline noodles, and there seemed to be no such thing as sesame paste in this world, so he couldn't recreate his favorite breakfast.

"I've mixed it for you, just eat it directly - your mouth might feel a little dry after eating it, so I also prepared a drink for you."

"Another sparkling drink?"

“…Isn’t it delicious?”

Feldrich pursed her lips. She was actually not used to the stinging feeling in her mouth after drinking, but looking at the calm face of Cypher (his real body), she couldn't say it for some reason.

"Yeah, it's not good to eat something so hot and drink cold water. Wait a moment."

Seifer, holding his long hair, went to the stove and worked for a while. When Frederick secretly tasted a few noodles and was quite surprised by the salty and fragrant taste and the rich texture of the noodles, he brought over a bowl of... tomato egg drop soup.

Tomatoes are one of the vegetables that can be rehydrated. As for eggs, Q Company sells so many of them that it is almost a monopoly level.

"Eat first. Only when you're full will you have the energy to go to the meeting, right?"

"Don't talk to me like a child... You look like you're too young to even start school, let alone adulthood."

They were both sitting on chairs. Feldrich was able to keep his feet on the ground properly, but Sever... unfortunately, she even had to stretch her toes to touch the ground.

Sefer didn't care about this. After all, when you realize that the other party can't hurt you no matter how much they shout, these behaviors can only be cute.

"That's fine with me. Besides, if you can give me some feedback after trying it, I'll continue to improve it next time... and try to make it even tastier. How's that?"

"Humph……"

He rolled up the spaghetti bolognese, and the greasy noodles were covered with a sauce that looked so appetizing, and Feldrich took a bite.

Then he tried hard to control his expression, not to let Seifer see that he actually enjoyed the food very much, and even seemed to want to speed up and eat a few more bites because of the fullness in his stomach.

Sefer noticed it, but she didn't care. She just supported her chin and watched her finish the bowl of hand-rolled noodles quietly.

To be honest, since Saifu is very strong, the quality of the noodles he made today is really good and very chewy.

After they had almost finished eating and Feldrich was obviously full, Cypher stopped trying to play tricks on him. "If you can't finish any more, just give me the rest. I think you seem to have something to say to me... And not to the backup, but to me?"

"How rude it is to communicate with others using a remote control device. Didn't your family teach you that?" Sefer didn't care about such words. She said that the mechanical backup body was very useful. Anyway, everyone in the car was used to getting along this way, right?

"Tell that craftsman who still thinks you and the man in the male skin are two different people. It doesn't matter. Now is the time, and no one will bother you..."

Feldrich was about to put on what she thought was a very oppressive expression, but she saw Sefer take the remaining half bowl of noodles with meat sauce, change to a pair of disposable chopsticks and start eating.

"W-what are you doing?!"

"Eat it up, otherwise it's a waste of food... I don't mind, this is your portion. I was planning to make two, but I don't want to wash two bowls."

"Isn't it dirty?!"

Seifer blinked. "Although Alfon may be rude, don't you take good care of your personal hygiene?"

"I, uh...you...tsk."

Feldrich, who had never heard of the concept of wasting food, was confused for a long time and was speechless about the girl in front of him who seemed to have walked out of a dream and had a temperament that made people want to pity her.

She could only fiercely drink a mouthful of soup to calm herself down. "Don't interrupt! You're being so secretive, what company sent you this new-style cyborg?"

"I do not know."

"Don't lie. I even have sources for information in places like the Transformation Agency. Even the latest generation of cyborgs can't possess a body of your level."

Cypher bit his chopsticks and asked, "What do you mean by the newest generation of cyborgs?"

"...You don't even know this? Well, I'll waste some time telling you."

Clearing his throat, Feldrich said, "The current free mercenary transformation surgery provides mercenaries with a 'cage' to protect them from external inertial overload. Combined with certain internal and external circulation support technologies, this allows them to operate combat vehicles."

"The next level is to work hard on the quality and craftsmanship of the cages. The transformation of the mercenaries themselves can at most allow them to move freely with the configuration of special equipment."

Sefer thought of Gaoshan T-3 who had been chatting happily with him before. He seemed to be like this, but he never took off his helmet.

"As for the exorbitant price tag, only some high-ranking mercenaries can afford these modifications... while they allow them to leave those crazy iron coffins like normal people, a closer look reveals some clues."

"If I'm not mistaken, with a body like yours, you can definitely get on that kind of equipment and go out to fight without wearing any protective gear."

Then you guessed wrong, because Cypher has never used his original body to joke around - there is no chance, and he would never want to do that.

After all, the backup body seems to be able to fight normally no matter how far the distance is, and even ignore all the pressure caused by acceleration, and kill a group of independent mercenaries.

"So, where exactly did you come from? Which company created this new generation of cyborgs?... No, maybe you're not a cyborg at all, but rather someone who's been tweaked since you were an embryo..."

Before she could finish her words, Cypher shook his head and said bluntly: "I have lost my memory."

"Or to put it another way, it's not amnesia, but... I have no idea of my past. I'm also very curious about what kind of person I was before. If you have any information, please tell me."

Feldrich was very curious. Sometimes this girl acted meticulous and flawless, and sometimes she spoke her mind without any scruples. Did she have any hidden cards that she hadn't revealed?
Are you deliberately fooling yourself?
It doesn't matter. As long as we mobilize the intelligence network we have established, we will be able to find out the truth soon!
