Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 424 423. Once a secret is made public, it becomes no longer a secret (Part )
Seifer's action was still a step too late. As soon as he arrived at the technical department, he saw Xiao Tao happily talking to Jasmine and Xiang about nonsense like "the teacher's body is fragrant and soft."

He went straight over and grabbed Xiao Tao's head: "Although I didn't tell you to keep it a secret, but since you told everyone around you without hiding anything..."

"You are now destined for death."

"It hurts so much... my head is going to split!" Xiao Tao cried out in pain, then quickly tried to change the subject: "Right, right! We've made the tracked chassis you requested!"

Made it?

It was clearly not done before entering the vision, and I could only say that I had a 'clue' about it. How come I got it done all of a sudden?

Xiang was the most qualified person to speak on this point. She explained that after receiving some support from the research institute and resolving a few key issues, everything was now flowing smoothly, even after being delayed for so long in the vision...

The automatic builder has already built the chassis, and now it just needs to be adapted to the body.

...It's okay, it fits the setting that the technical department can inexplicably come up with strange and useful things.

Then, Cypher continued to pinch Xiaotao's head: "But this has nothing to do with my wish to make you lose your memory. You know, many times people commit suicide because of their big mouths."

"Having your head explode like a tomato is definitely not suicide!"

"It can be, as long as I say it is."

After some very subtle "threats", Xiao Tao finally said that she would never leak any information, and then quickly invited Cypher to come over and admire the new machine.

However, the fact that it had been leaked to two people meant that... Xiang was looking a little curious with his eyes drooping.

As for the passengers in his car, Sefer was no longer too concerned. After all, they would see each other sooner or later, so why would he get so concerned over such a small accident?

Ichika suddenly called, and the moment she answered, she immediately thanked Cypher for protecting her younger generation in the vision. She would definitely find a way to repay this favor...

Well, isn't it a bit off the mark when the Discipline Committee member says that we should repay a favor?

But the situation was critical right now, and talking about irrelevant things was a waste of time. "Don't rush to thank me yet, wait until this is over. Ichika, I suggest you quickly prepare to maintain order."

"There are still people from entertainment companies in the academy city trying to take advantage of the situation. And the students are definitely unhappy that they're being treated like frozen meat and are about to sink with the academy city."

Ichika immediately understood: "Well, I will contact people from other colleges to help maintain order, especially those who are usually the most difficult to deal with. I will pay special attention to them."

Just as Ichika finished her communication, a text message came in from her junior.

"I didn't tell Ichika-senpai, Sensei... This is my secret, hehe..."

Good.

After finishing this small matter, Cypher glanced at the machine that was completing the foot replacement, and thought about letting them get busy first and making the machine ready to fight at any time.

Then immediately switch to the backup body.

Everyone was amazed by the sight of this spare body sitting motionless on the chair. Even Xiang flexed his fingers, ready to come up and check it out - but was persuaded to stop by Wei Erwei and the others.

If they really wanted to fight, Sefer would definitely come back immediately and spank her hard!
After completing the switch, Seifer walked out from behind the vending machine. On the street... various vehicles were roaring, and many students were riding these vehicles towards the research institute.

First of all, that place is closest to the entrances to various satellite cities. Secondly, since the people from the entertainment company had already taken action, they should have been transferred in at the moment of the explosion.

In other words, if we can meet the culprit now, we can let them see that the people in the Academy City are not easy to mess with!
As expected of an academic city, it could be dead, but it definitely wouldn't be dead. Quickly moving to the concert venue, as expected, the energy generator protecting the backstage area not only didn't shut down, but was even more vigorous than before, making it impossible for anyone nearby to get close.

Cypher stood outside the encirclement: "...Just in case, I decided to ask first, Shengnai, are you near the concert venue now?"

"Well, I'm here. I feel like if there's a conflict, someone's bound to get hurt, so I'm always ready to go in and provide treatment."

At least it was a communication, not a presence behind him. Cypher breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you alone?"

"No way! All the medical and nursing staff in the entire Academy City have been mobilized. Some have already gone to the research institute, and the others are on standby here with me."

Seifer raised his legs and squeezed into the crowd, using the strength of this body to easily get himself into the inner layer of the encirclement.

Then, under the nervous gaze of the students, he said loudly, "Everyone, don't rush. After the energy barrier disappears, just beat the downed dog outside. Don't rush in."

"The company's people might have already loaded the live ammunition. I hope you won't lose your lives here for now. It's still a long way to go, and there's plenty of room to squander."

Even though everyone is in an excited state now, Sefer's identity is a teacher. At a time when there are few people with a say in the academy city, his words still have some effect.

Suppressing the passionate crowd, Seifer approached the energy flushing barrier under everyone's gaze.

Then it just blended in so naturally!
Backstage, the entertainment company employees, who were on high alert and ready to fight to the bitter end, were all wide-eyed. How did this guy do it?!

You know, this kind of thing can melt even a piece of steel into molten steel immediately. How can anyone escape without getting hurt...

However, Cypher walked backstage and, facing the nervous gunmen, thought for a moment: "I have a suggestion, or an opinion, that I hope you can consider."

"After all, the Academy City is a hotbed for nurturing the next generation. Shedding blood here, or doing something too unpleasant, would be bad for everyone."

"So, instead of continuing to fight tooth and nail for a company with no future, why not consider switching jobs? This company is going to fail anyway, so why not just turn your back on it and join a new company as soon as possible?"

The people arranged by the entertainment company backstage did not answer - or rather, they could not answer this question.

They didn't know that most of the company's executives had been torn to pieces by mechanical monsters in the vision, and even their skulls had been piled up in a mausoleum for people outside to see.

They only know that as core department staff, once they say anything detrimental to the company, not only their brains, but also their internal organs may turn into cooked sewage.

However, these people also knew that the company was about to go bankrupt. Not only had they offended the three most powerful companies in the desert, but they were also using this important node city as a stepping stone...

The entertainment company may no longer exist in the future, and it is unknown whether people like us can survive, but what can we do?

No one fired a shot. They squatted or stood behind cover silently and looked at Cypher, only to find that the 'teacher' suddenly grinned.

"A very good choice. At least there are no loyalists among you. So, let me tell you some good news."

Cypher paused, folding his arms. "And of course, I'm also speaking to the people behind you. Simply put—your days of manipulating everything from behind a screen are over."

As soon as these words were spoken, the person who was acting like an exaggerated host and the people behind the broadcast channel all laughed.

Soon they were no longer able to have fun.
