Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 387 386. Now that the evidence is solid and all we need is a piece of physical evidence, should we take action?

Sefer got rid of this guy pretty quickly. He just had to write some useless blank checks, then record her information and tell her to be ready and wait for notification.

Anyway, there will be future cooperation, and the other party is very relieved. She even hinted that if Sefer needs some...special expenses, she can help introduce him to other projects of the entertainment company.

Since he wasn't very interested, Sefer just said he'd discuss it later and was leisurely escorted out of the protective area.

After everyone in the Abian company's vehicle had completely left, he quickly returned to the place where they had initially met. Now the number of people in line had begun to decrease, and it seemed that the audition phase was ending very quickly.

Returning to the alley, he pulled up the box to block his view. Then, Seifer lowered his guard and returned to the front of Shengnai's tricycle. After confirming that there was no one around, he stood up straight.

This time it was not opened from the back - after being restrained for too long, Shengnai would definitely fall to the ground if he fell backwards, so it had to be opened from the front.

The metal plates and delicate structures immediately deformed and expanded, accompanied by a "crackling" sound. Shengnai, who was wet all over and seemed to be still emitting heat, with even his hair stuck to his cheeks, fell down powerlessly from the mechanical body.

Holding her lightly in his arms, Sefer closed his body, placed Shengnai in the trailer of the tricycle, and covered her with a waterproof sheet.

"Thank you for your hard work investigating, Shengnai. The temperature is not bad now... but you still need to change your clothes quickly."

"Um... Um, Seifer, no, there's no need to rush to take me back. I'll just rest for a while and ride back by myself..."

Shengnai's face was flushed by the heat, which just covered up her shame and various emotions. So after the slightly low temperature calmed her down, she immediately picked up a towel.

Wiping the sweat off her neck and cheeks, she tucked the towel into her sweaty back. "Let's not talk about that for now. I did see it just now... I really should have observed it myself to see the problem!"

"Well, speak slowly, don't be impatient."

Handing her the drink in the car, Sefer remained as calm as ever...

For Shengnai, Seifer, who was so calm when communicating with her, whether through his backup body or in person, was very - addictive.

"Huh...what just stood before us wasn't entirely human! Their physical characteristics and readings were even superior to those of healthy peers."

"But, this is just the physical aspect. I didn't read any of their brain nerve reactions just now. Instead, I saw a simulated neural reaction... That, it's hard to describe..."

But from the outside, it was definitely human, from every angle. Even breathing, blinking, and reacting to light were normal.

A living person, even if Shengnai hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would definitely think that it was the dancer herself if she saw it remotely.

"We previously speculated that perhaps the entertainment company had some advanced long-term personnel control plan, but after personally contacting them, what is your conclusion?"

"They're definitely not human. Or rather, even though their physical indicators are consistent with humans... they're definitely not human. Because their brain tissue activity is extremely... well, very strange."

Cypher thought for a moment. "Like a programmed process?"

"Ah... that's the feeling! Cypher knows so much."

Shengnai smiled happily, but then became worried about the safety of the dancers. She said she didn't know what had happened to those people, but it was obvious that they definitely did not take on such a role of their own free will.

"Obviously... it's a chance to perform on stage with a big star. As long as you explain that, you can recruit as many dreamers as you want, right?"

Pouring his heart out directly to Seifer, Shengnai's tone was filled with confusion and bewilderment, as well as kindness that Seifer felt was particularly precious in this world.

"That's true, but it's not ruled out that some companies feel this isn't enough. People's ambitions are endlessly growing, and who knows, there might be other things they can do?" "Other things..."

Shengnai couldn't imagine it, but it was obvious that this was not a simple combination of medical treatment and drugs to transform thinking or cognition.

"Remember to send me the professional data, and then... there's a lot of tails to take care of after this infiltration. I'm going to explain the situation to Alfred and then pass the evidence to the people from the Phantom Mist Group."

Sefer didn't care about his double agent behavior. After saying this, he suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, I still have a ticket with the best seat tonight, but I'm alone."

"Would you like to come with me to the concert?"

Shengnai subconsciously wanted to nod, but then he immediately thought of the situation just now. When he thought about having to follow the movement like that for nearly three hours...

The pleasant aftertaste that had not yet faded, which made her want more, made Shengnai feel a little embarrassed to speak. She tried to muster up her courage, but her girlish heart, which had not yet solidified, was not at all as resolute as facing her feelings directly.

So, she shook her head gently: "No, not really... This is harder than I thought..."

"Yeah, if you were about my height, I think it would be easier. Anyway, get some rest. I'm going to go for a run."

Seeing that Shengnai had calmed down, he told her to go back to the car and rest as soon as possible. After she calmed down, Sefer left.

After watching him leave, Shengnai finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell softly into the truck bed.

Although the sweat on her body was slowly evaporating, some of it would take quite a while - she tried to calm herself down, then curled up in shame.

I wasn't this flustered when I was in the bathroom with Sefer and was played a prank by Dr. Mei. Why is my mind now full of that experience?

Until she struggles with herself and clears her mind, she will probably continue to be troubled by this.

On the other hand, after Sefer told Feldridge about the situation, she said disdainfully, "Why are you coming to her for such a trivial matter?"
If you're really bored, go over and help her share the staffing issues instead of wandering around the city and wasting time and money.

Then she told Sefer that she would arrange a special simulation device and a professional filming team later, so that Sefer could continue to use this identity to meet the "big star".

She said it was boring, but in practice she was so meticulous, so after thanking her, Seifer decisively closed the communication.

Then he knocked on Dr. Mei directly: "Stop being lazy, hurry up and call out the sponsor, I need to talk to her about something."

Dr. Mei's voice was vague: "I'm taking a bath, so I don't have time. Oh, by the way, if you have time, remember to pick up a package for me from the institute."

"Can't you just ask the courier?"

"The package contains the first-phase experimental plan for a miniaturized heavy fusion engine. Are you interested in upgrading your mobile base?"

Seifer braked and stopped at the side of a busy lane. Several cars from entertainment companies carrying students who had passed the auditions whizzed past.

"Very interested! Tell me where to pick up the parcel, and I'll be right back when I get it."

"Okay, I've sent you the address, but this thing can't be rushed, so just send it back when you can."

How can an action that brings benefits be called running errands? That is running for rewards.
