Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 70 ASH! VS Mana's First Body!

The sky was dark, and a small hill stood tall on the empty street.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be stacked cargo containers.

When the spacetime portal opened, the transport robots sent most of the cargo boxes into another spacetime, leaving only a small portion that couldn't be transported and had to be piled up on the street.

Fortunately, the surrounding blocks are Bai Jingyu's backyard, so no one will accuse him of blocking traffic.

Someone might file a complaint against him for corruption.

In a state of emergency, complaints against senior officials in Kukawa City will go directly to the mayor's mailbox and be personally investigated by Mayor Baek Jing-yu, who is deeply respected by the citizens of Kukawa.

"ASH".

"Has the order for Yue Tian's prosthetic body been placed?"

Bai Jingyu gazed at the setting sun on the horizon, his eyes filled with the worry a father has for his children.

A blue light appeared in ASH's retina.

"I contacted the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Hela Empire through official channels, and they have accepted the order."

ASH projects the order details: "Contents include an alloy skeleton, bionic skin, 2.43 billion synthetic muscle fibers, a nuclear fusion furnace, and a neural response accelerator."

"And there are also extra-large steel cannons."

ASH read out the names of hundreds of prosthetic bodies.

Each item is the highest quality available, but the report makes no mention of quality in order to save time on reporting.

For Bai Jingyu, the least valuable thing in the world is money itself.

"A massive steel cannon?" Bai Jingyu raised an eyebrow, a catchy advertising slogan popping into his mind.

A massive steel cannon! A massive steel cannon!
Men are proud! Women scream!
“The order hasn’t gone into production yet. If you think it’s unnecessary, I can remove this item,” ASH replied.

Bai Jingyu pondered for a long time.

Finally, he nodded: "Stay."

“Professor Horn has arrived at the designated location; it’s time for us to set off as well,” Ash said softly.

Bai Jingyu nodded slowly.

After talking with Bai Yuekui, they learned that the Mana Primordial Body was closely related to the disaster. According to the plan, their next step should be to read the Mana Primordial Body's brain.

"How confident are you right now?" Bai Jingyu asked.

"The chance of completely reading the giant's brain is only 10%, but the chance of escaping unscathed is 100%," ASH replied slowly.

Bai Jingyu said in a deep voice, "No matter what happens, can you escape unscathed?"

ASH nodded.

"According to Yue Kui's description, I was able to obtain some information from the giant's brain when I only had 0.2% of my function available, but now I have full function, which is equivalent to five hundred times that time."

It said softly, "When reading the giant's brain, I will reserve some computing power. If an accident occurs, I will disconnect in time."

Bai Jingyu nodded slightly: "If something really happens, I can physically disconnect your internet connection."

He turned and went downstairs.

After the house was renovated for transporting supplies, it can now be accessed directly to the street along the slope, eliminating the need to go up and down stairs.

Consequently, it no longer looks like a home.

Cars were waiting on the street.

As Bai Jingyu approached, the car door opened automatically.

After a while, the car stopped in a deserted corner, where an elderly man with white hair and beard had been waiting for a long time.

"Mayor Bai," Professor Horn greeted.

Horn's hairstyle is very distinctive.

It's a bit like dreadlocks, but not exactly the same.

Bai Jingyu nodded slightly: "Professor Horn, how is Yue Kui doing lately?"

Two months old.

One broke his heart, and the other broke his heart too.

"Yue Kui inherited her mother's talent in neuroscience, and she has even surpassed her mother," Horn said with emotion.

Bai Jingyu nodded: "How has she been feeling these past few days?"

Long ago, the father and daughter broke off relations, and Bai Yuekui went to live with Professor Horn, her mother's teacher.

Over the years, Bai Jingyu had been secretly taking care of Bai Yuekui, while Professor Horn had been openly caring for her; the two had maintained contact privately. "She seemed a little down," Horn paused. "I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't tell me."

Bai Jingyu sighed softly: "It has something to do with me. I sent Yue Tian out on a mission without notifying her in advance, and she argued with me on the phone."

Horn suddenly realized.

He comforted her, saying, "Yue Kui has experienced too little and cannot understand your difficulties back then. She will understand you sooner or later when she grows up."

Bai Jingyu fell silent.

After a few seconds, he said softly, "It's better for Yue Kui to be like this now."

Horn looked puzzled.

Bai Jingyu offered no explanation. He activated the mechanism, revealing the secret passage hidden there.

With ample energy, the secret passage was as bright as day.

"Please go ahead," Bai Jingyu said.

Horn looked around, a look of surprise on his face.

No one has ever reported that Bai Jingyu built such a huge secret base in this place!

"ASH should have informed you of the specifics via email."

Bai Jingyu said in a low voice, "The Nirvana Research Institute has salvaged an ancient creature from the deep sea. Its brain contains unimaginable treasures. I need your help to allow ASH to invade its brain and extract this information."

Horn nodded: "I already knew before I came that this matter is actually more suitable for Yue Kui to do, I'm too old."

Bai Jingyu sighed softly.

He could tell that Horn wanted to mend the rift between him and Moonbeam.

"Professor Horn, I failed to save Yue Kui's mother back then. I'm sorry to everyone. I deserve the current situation." Bai Jingyu walked forward without looking back.

"Is this the unique struggle of being a father?" Horn said, watching Bai Jingyu's retreating figure.

Bai Jingyu did not react.

Horn gave a wry smile and quickly followed.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the core area of ​​the secret base.

A giant leans against a high platform.

She had four arms and two legs. The long passage of time had taken away her vitality, and her body was like stone, covered with the ravines and ancient fossils left by the years.

Her abdomen was the most eye-catching feature.

The huge, spherical bulge seems to be nurturing life, and its vibrant vitality converges into a bright light, giving one a refreshing feeling just by being near it.

"Incredible!" Horn exclaimed in shock.

At this moment, many nerve cables emerged from the control panel.

ASH's voice rang out from all directions: "Professor Horn, please cut open her brain and help me complete the neural connection with her."

"I'm counting on you from now on," Bai Jingyu said to Huo En.

Horn took a deep breath: "I'll do my best."

He stepped onto the operating table and simultaneously operated on the equipment.

At the same time, the operating table was rapidly raised until it was level with the giant's nose.

swoosh-

A large needle pierced the giant's skull.

"Inject the washing solution."

"Start the laser water jet."

Horn cut open the giant's skull, rinsed away the parasites that lived in symbiosis with the giant's brain, and peeled away the meninges that wrapped around the giant's brain.

The surgery proceeded smoothly.

"ASH, the connection is ready," Horn said slowly.

The neural cables snaked their way into the giant's exposed brain, like silver snakes slithering through the air.

The cables connected to the giant's brain, branching into countless fine threads that burrowed into the folds of the cerebral cortex and connected to the giant's neurons.

"The neuron connecting the target neurons has been activated."

"Start reading."
