I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Little Spider stopped answering any questions, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. No matter what you ask, I'll tell you, yes, yes, yes, that's it.

Just when Daniel felt that the progress of the matter was at a deadlock, Cheng Rang asked if he could say a few words.

"Okay, here you go, if you can get this guy to talk...I'll buy you some coffee." Daniel seemed to remember something, and pushed back the words "please drink" that were about to come to him.

Cheng Rang chuckled and took the phone.

"EK-33, right? The fact that you can leave it in the police station so peacefully means that you think nothing will happen to the things you care about for the time being, right?"

Little Spider remained silent, as if he didn't understand what Cheng Rang was talking about.

Cheng Rang took out his phone and clicked a few times.

Above is a photo of the frame of Aling's bike that had just been stolen and the electromagnetic power nuclear engine had completely disappeared.

"I was very concerned before about why you were so selective in the cars you stole, and you still caught those who had insurance to steal..."

Kurus' previous words were still fresh in Cheng Rang's memory——

[Even the tracking transmitters on the occasionally successful fishing baits have all failed without exception. You must know that the specialized trackers in the insurance industry, unless you eat the engine into your stomach, it is impossible to have that kind of weirdness. Case. 】

After meeting the car thief himself, Cheng Rang felt that the guy in front of him might really have the potential to make a living out of an engine.

"So I asked Leo and Kurus to take the time to search in your garbage pile...guess what I found?"

In a video, Kurus was turning over the metal garbage pile that occupied the entire secret room, and then discovered dozens of electromagnetic power nuclear engines that had been disassembled from the car and were being used with various wires and The device is connected to something like a hibernation bay.

Leo's surprised voice came from among them: "Oh, there is actually a big guy here?! These engines are connected to form an extremely powerful special magnetic field, and even the prosthetic eyes of God are affected... So the power of these engines The insurance tracking transmitter cannot send out a signal."

Pulling up the camera, you can see through the transparent cover of the dormant chamber with a little fog that there is an extra-large "little spider" lying inside. However, the body of this mechanical body seems to have most of the parts damaged due to damage. , looking dying.

The moment he saw the scene in the video clearly, the expression on his face finally dropped all pretense, and he screamed frantically as if his ugly scars were being uncovered, and desperately tried to break through the cage that trapped him.

Danielle saw the little spider who was furious after his old man was exposed, and finally smiled proudly.

"Hahaha, are you finally panicking now? Where did your previous appearance of not being afraid of boiling water go?"

"You damn humans! Let me out quickly! If anything happens, come at me. I stole the car and it has nothing to do with my mother!"

"oh?"

Several people looked at the translator on the screen and were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.

"--Mother?"

Chapter 6 Life as Dust

Danielle slammed the open notebook onto the table, and Hanny quickly picked up the pen and prepared to record it.

Danielle took the microphone back from Cheng Rang and said, "Did you just say 'Mom'?" Didn’t you say that the mechanical race has no gender? "

"I never said that the mechanical race has no gender."

Seeing the little spider's answer, Danielle immediately looked at Hanny standing aside with questioning eyes, and saw her awkwardly gesticulating the entries in the transcript with her eyes——

[Stupid human, would you ask a robot’s gender? I am your father! 】

Well, gender male, or...male?

"Okay, now I think that the large robot spider is your mother. What are the electromagnetic power nuclear engines connected to her used for?"

"Sustain life."

"So you stole the electromagnetic power nuclear engine specifically to keep your mother alive, right? Why don't you spend money to buy it? I remember that this thing is not a prohibited item."

Everyone else, including Little Spider, looked at Danielle Police Department as if they were looking at an idiot.

"If I have money, do I still need to steal it?"

Daniel couldn't stand the attention of everyone, and quickly raised his hands in surrender and said: "Hey, don't look at me with that look, of course I know! This is a routine question, do you understand?"

"OK...OK..." Cheng Rang shrugged and signaled him to continue.

"Also, why do you always find the same insured car to steal repeatedly? We have noticed that more than 95% of the vehicles you steal are platinum customers of Obsidian Insurance Company. You and Obsidian Insurance Is there any holiday at the company?"

"Of course it is easier to steal. The group of people has a fixed movement trajectory. Since the car with this insurance trademark will be paid out quickly after it is stolen, it is convenient and quick to steal it again. I am not doing it for money, I just want to To fill my belly and keep my mother alive."

The thieves thought he was an excellent insurance company, and they targeted him repeatedly after identifying him. I don’t know whether the people at Obsidian Insurance Company should be happy or cry after hearing this.

"To fill your stomach? Does that mean that after removing the engines from the stolen cars, you ate all the other parts?"

"Yes, that man should be able to tell. I have to say that the whole room of scrap metal you rummaged through can be considered the remains of those previous cars."

Cheng Rang rolled his eyes slightly, "Well, it seems that we have been struggling with a pile of excrement for a long time, and those stolen cars are probably choking enough to come back."

The good news is that Aling's car still has its frame intact. As long as a new engine is put in, it will be as good as new.

"Why does it have to be an electromagnetic-powered nuclear engine? Can't other types work?"

"This also depends on our race. My mother and I both belong to the Cybertron. The operating mode of those engines is very similar to our core (heart) and can serve as a temporary replacement."

Danielle: "It doesn't look like your mother is getting better. Have you thought about going to the hospital?"

"Because my mother's condition is very serious, she cannot live without those electromagnetic power cores for a moment. The more realistic situation is-no money."

It has to be said that everywhere in this world is the same, there is only one disease, the disease of poverty.

You can't cure this disease, and you can't cure it.

The interrogation lasted for three and a half hours. When Cheng Rang and Danielle came out of the interrogation room, their expressions were obviously not so relaxed.

According to the account of the robot that asked them to call it "Ike 33", he and his mother were individuals who were exiled from a group of mechanical life galaxies. During the drifting process, they unfortunately encountered the meteorite turbulence caused by the opening of the space-time orbit.

In order to protect Ike as a child, the mother took out her own core and put him into her body, using her own life as a shell to protect the child from harm.

And the opening of that space-time tunnel is exactly the channel opened when the Fleiss Flea Market is connected to Hersalemz Lot.

In this way, the mother and son, who are his mother's heart and his mother's body turned into his protective shell, came to this city after many twists and turns.

Therefore, it fell into a scrap iron processing plant. I don't know if it was due to luck, but I just happened to find an aging electromagnetic power nuclear engine that was still running in the garbage dump.

Ike discovered that this thing could temporarily replace the core that his mother lost due to the accident to sustain her life, so he tried his best to find these things that could sustain his mother's life.

Without household registration, Daniel could obviously convict them of illegal immigration and throw him and his mother in jail.

However, the female police officers Hanni and Elaine, who were record-keepers, were obviously moved after listening to the series of miserable stories about the wanderings in the universe from Ike.

So Ike, this guy, was saved from jail thanks to the HL Different World Race Minor Protection Act.

"Damn! Are you telling me that an 85-year-old mechanical life form is still a minor? He has lived longer than my grandfather!"

Danielle, who had not slept well for a long time because of this series of events, was quite dissatisfied with this.

"Well, at least he still needs to work to pay off his debts until all the debts are paid off, which will be enough for him to work for more than a hundred years."

I really didn't expect that the tragic experience of the mother and son had something to do with him. Cheng Rang looked very guilty when he touched his nose and said this.

Even so, things seemed unable to have a satisfactory outcome.

At that time, in order to make Ike confess his crime honestly and reform properly, Elaine assured him that he would be able to take good care of his mother.

But after actually taking his mother back to the institute, Elaine, who checked her carefully, could only take off her glasses, shake her head and sigh.

"...It's no longer possible. Her condition is too bad. Just like what little Ike said, as long as she is separated from the electromagnetic coil that sustains her life, she will lose her life function in an instant. Her body exposed to cosmic radiation has already lost its core. Along the way, I was hit by countless cosmic garbage, meteorites and debris while protecting my children, and there is basically no possibility of recovery."

In other words, it is a miracle to be alive till now.

"What's more, although the electromagnetic power nuclear engine can now replace the core to maintain life, this thing was originally designed to provide power for vehicles. It has no other functions at all. It's like you are about to be poisoned to death, and then the only thing What can keep her alive is to drink more and stronger poisons to fight poison with poison. In the end, she will die miserably. While the engine is maintaining her basic life functions, it is also eroding her already broken body all the time."

"Is it really hopeless? After all, there is nothing worse than letting a child who has been wandering for so long lose his mother..."

"Of course it can be saved, but-" Elaine sighed and looked at Cheng Rang.

"Can you convince Miss Leticia to spend her life to save a mechanical life that she doesn't even know? She is even the mother of a guilty person."

"Time curse...?"

Elaine nodded.

Cheng Rang looked at the broken machinery covered with light-emitting tubes on the operating table. To be honest, he couldn't bear to see a mother end up like this in order to protect her child.

No matter what race they are or what they look like, it is the greatest proof of love.

Ike once cried in tears in the interrogation room. He once asked others, what if his core is broken and he will die if he cannot repair it? The answers given by his best friends or teachers were all about taking him to the best mechanic, and no matter how much money he spent or how many miles he traveled, he would find a new core and make him better.

"But my mother told me that if it couldn't be repaired, she would remove her own core and install it on me... so that I could live! Because I am his most proud and beloved child. Man...she will never let me die in front of her."

"So I won't let her die in front of me. I will do everything possible to extend her life, no matter what the cost!"

——————————

Cheng Rang rolled up his sleeves, opened the door and walked into the operating room.

"There's no need to look for Letitia... I can try. Although after repairing it, she will undoubtedly be sent to jail, but there is some hope of living, right?"

For him, he may not be able to wait for decades.

Before the air-tight door closed, Cheng Rang turned around and said, "Tell Ike that if I cure his mother, he will work under me... Leo just needs a smart motorcycle that doesn't require refueling."

Elaine pursed her lips and smiled, bowing to him.

"Yes, boss."

Chapter 7 Conversation

[Ding, you have a new application to be approved! 】

[Team member: Maximilian Esterhib Heka J. Christian, requesting to join your bound world. 】

PS: "Cheng, your world mission should be over. I would like to meet and have a chat."

After dealing with the incident involving the mechanical spider mother and son, Cheng Rang was staying at home alone watching TV, and was a little surprised by the system message he suddenly received.

As for why he is alone now - Isabella was ordered to go with Stephen to meet with a political figure from another world to discuss cooperation matters. She is not at home now. Mr. Claus was arrested because he was too unreliable in terms of appearance. The head was left at the headquarters to look after the house.

I have to say that the officials at Lebra are usually very busy... So why not let Bai Mao do it when it comes to meeting with dignitaries? ! Is it possible that my wife is still Lebra’s diplomatic appearance?

Xiao Mo was also homeless at this time, and immediately ran to play with Aling after she came back. After graduating from Koro-sensei, she was now a sensible girl, and Cheng Rang was quite happy with this. Relieved.

So Cheng Rang typed a reply: "Okay, come over, but we have to pick a place to meet..."

Fortunately, I have not forgotten that Christian is now an ultimate blood servant who is even better than the Thirteenth Elder. If he is allowed to talk to Lebra, I am afraid that Klaus will explode - the mole is actually him. people? !

…

"Boss, long time no see." The bartender was slightly surprised when he saw Cheng Rang pushing in the door.

"Clearance."

"yes."

In the booth on the second floor of the Westin Bar after the routine business was cleared, Cheng Rang was drinking with a glass of wine, waiting for Christian's arrival.

Fortunately, it's morning now, and the late-night guests in the bar have just left. They say they're clearing out, but in fact, the Westin has just closed.

As the current signature top-class bar in Hersalemz Rote, the Westin is no longer open 24 hours a day as before. Otherwise, in addition to the lack of drinks, the employees would not be able to work in shifts all day long.

After the third glass of whiskey, there was finally movement at the door. A tall, silver-haired man in a cloak walked in. His first words were: "I'm looking for Cheng Rang."

The bartender Kelotesi bowed to him respectfully and elegantly, "Yes, the boss has been waiting for you for a long time."

At the same time, Cheng Rang appeared from the loft railing, raised his glass and greeted Christian, who was looking up below: "Hey, this way!"

The two of them sat down, and the waitress served some refreshments and drinks. Cheng Rang waved his hand and said, "You can take a rest after get off work. I'll be with you later."

All the people had dispersed, and apart from a few spotlights, the only sound in the large bar was the sound of Cheng Rang pouring drinks.

"Have you thought about it?"

Christian nodded, "I'm ready to go with you."

"I haven't quit the team yet... Are you just making it clear that I will definitely leave the team?" Cheng Rang smiled bitterly and pushed the poured wine in front of Christian.

He did not answer, but said: "Both of us are responsible for Vera's death. Before actually conducting the team conquest mode, there is no way to resurrect her. You and I already know this."

"So you conclude that I will definitely leave this team?"

"Duan Buhuo can't worry about the other members. He has made his attitude clear and respects my choice, including yours of course."

"But even if we participate in the team conquest mode, no one can be sure that she will come back."

"At least try, right? You have the ability." Christian's golden eyes stared straight at the man in front of him who kept drinking the wine in the glass.
