Kevin, but he is a male mother in Xingtie with little Ai Li

Take a day off! (By the way, let me ask you all)

Because I went to several comic conventions these days, my stockpiled manuscripts exploded QAQ

Let’s go back and continue working hard on typing tomorrow, and try to make up for what we’ve missed today!

Gominasa! Gominasa!

I will mend my ways and never wear women's clothes again!

Thank you everyone!!! ...

I'd like to take this opportunity to ask if you want to see more of Ying Jie?

Or if there is any plot you like or want to watch, please post it here and we will watch it!

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 144: Paduo: You are a sneak attack, you have no moral principles!!

Being stared at by everyone, Padu was stunned for only a moment. The next second, her brain started to work rapidly, and soon she got the correct answer that she thought was right -

Could it be...could it be that, seeing how skilled she is at picking locks, everyone suspects that she is actually an interstellar thief who often knocks on other people's door locks, so they are afraid that they will secretly pry open their door in the middle of the night?

This, this... is very likely!

"Well, well... Let me explain to you all! I learned this skill because of some reasons when I was a child. Actually, I haven't used it much since I joined the 'company', so..."

Padu's voice became lower and lower, and it was obvious that he felt guilty - but in order to ensure that his performance passed, it was normal for him to use his abilities a little!

This is part of the job, right?

But just after Padu finished stating the facts rather awkwardly, she found that the expressions of the people looking at her did not seem to have changed much, or even - they seemed not to be looking at her?

But...behind? !

"The door has been detected to be open, and the sleep mode is forced to end - the identity of the entrant has been checked, scanning..."

"Scanning results: There are no personnel with A-level or higher clearance in the field of vision. They are defined as illegal intruders. Activate the elimination protocol——!"

A cold mechanical sound was heard by everyone just a few seconds after the door was opened. No one could have imagined that the clever Xianzhou people not only set a password lock outside the door, but also set a second layer of security behind the door to prevent others from breaking in.

If a dull combination lock may be left there waiting for you to unlock it, how can you convince a machine intelligence with its own system just a few seconds before it takes action?

To have that level of stealing ability, one must at least be a hacker like Silver Wolf who can even change reality to some extent, right?

And for a petty thief like Padu, what’s the use of her lock-picking skills?

All I can say is...Xianzhou Technology, boy!!!

The moment the mechanical sound fell, the mechanical intelligence that looked like a humanoid door suddenly raised its right limb, which was as big as a chainsaw, and swung it towards the little Padu in front of it.

Under normal circumstances, the thieves who secretly opened the doors in Yu Xianzhou would definitely not be able to react. Even if they managed to escape the initial attack, the noise caused by the subsequent fight would definitely attract more attention here.

“Whaaaaaaaa??!”

After all, Padu was not really stupid. When she heard the mechanical voice behind her, she immediately realized what was going on. She didn't have time to feel embarrassed and immediately rushed forward.

Although this reaction is very fast for humans, it is not enough to escape the precise locking range of a meticulous machine.

boom----!

Suddenly, a loud thumping sound spread all around. Little Padu, who had her eyes tightly closed, found that she didn't seem to feel any pain. So she quickly felt herself to see if she had any missing limbs, and then immediately looked behind her.

I saw that my boss Kevin took the full force attack of the strange machine that was five or six meters tall with just one hand. The chain saw-like weapon in its hand was still cutting and trying to break through the ice layer wrapped around Kevin's hand, but in the end it was completely futile.

"Boss Kevin, so handsome!"

Having just escaped death a second ago, little Padu immediately became arrogant the next second - yes, why should she be afraid? Didn't her elder brother Kevin deal with these little soldiers one by one?

And that was her boss Kevin! Would Kevin not protect her?

Once she figured this out, little Padu's heart immediately became fulfilled - her waist was no longer sore, her legs no longer hurt, and even her heartbeat felt much steadier!

"Enemy threat has increased. Try to analyze the specific threat level... Analysis failed. Permission to activate the No. 143 Extermination Protocol to maximize the output of the industrial core!"

After realizing that its attack had no effect on Kevin, this huge intelligent machine immediately corrected its combat mode.

Along with the roar of gears colliding, the vermilion body of this machine that looked like a door began to gradually reveal golden lights with strange patterns. They gradually spread upwards along the huge body, and finally formed half of the iconic halo above its head.

"Enemy—annihilate!"

Not only is the sound massive, the roar of this machine is also deafening - giving people the illusion that it actually has emotions and is venting its boundless anger.

boom--!

The weapon that was almost completely enveloped in light smashed heavily on Kevin's arm that was blocking in front of him, and even caused the energy that had been condensed into substance to suddenly spark an arc of light like a flame.

But the result was still not surprising. Even though the stone slabs under his feet had collapsed under the huge pressure, Kevin's body did not bend at all. Even the clothes on his arms were still smooth and new.

"Feels... a little weird?"

Kevin murmured a few words as if he had noticed something, but his hands did not hesitate at all. He swung his hand back and slammed it hard! The several-meter-tall machine fell to the ground. The freezing frost quickly spread from Kevin's feet, and in a moment it completely bound the huge machine.

"Bah! He was so arrogant just now, but in the end he was killed by our boss Kevin in one go!"

Realizing that there was basically no danger now, little Pardo, who had just suffered the most fright, jumped out immediately, but he did not dare to run up and really kick him a few times... This is a perfect example of what it means to be a wimp but also have a strong addiction to being a wimp.

But it doesn’t matter, the same thing applies - if we are together, we will definitely kill people!

Om-!

“Wow?!”

Suddenly, Jiqiao, who was almost completely frozen in the ice crystals, suddenly emitted golden light all over his body again, which frightened little Padu so much that she quickly took several steps back and almost fell to the ground.

Kevin was probably the only one who was not frightened. Instead of retreating, he took a few steps forward and gently placed his palm on the only exposed part of the other person, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Strange, these things don't look like an amplification, but rather a kind of... restriction?"

But who has the time to restrain a big robot?

Chapter 145: Little Ai Li: What did you just say?

"Um, Mr. Kevin... I wonder if you have heard of the origin of the Immortal Boat Alliance?"

Qingque suddenly raised her hand and explained to Kevin, "The original predecessor of our Xianzhou Alliance was nine planetary battleships sent by an unknown emperor to seek immortality."

"At the same time, in order to ensure that the people he sent out would not deviate from his original purpose, the emperor also assigned many 'golden men' forged with ancient mechanical techniques on the immortal ship to supervise and assist humans in conducting wars."

"But the original emperor was just an ordinary human after all. No matter how glorious he was in his past, he was completely turned into a handful of dirt a few hundred years after the Immortal Boat traveled... And after experiencing a certain "Golden Man Rebellion", these original Golden Man machines were all subdued by the Immortal Boat people, and were strictly controlled by talismans to guard various important institutions."

"Like this golden man here...it has probably been here for at least a few hundred years, right?"

Don't ask why Qingque suddenly became so reliable - she wanted to continue fishing, but after all, it was she who pointed out the way, and she almost got into big trouble just now. If she dared to say nothing, she would be in trouble!

It must be said that Kevin's nuclear deterrence is unparalleled from any perspective.

"A talisman used for strict control?"

Kevin frowned slightly, staring at the patterns on the golden man's body, and asked Qingque: "According to what you said... these so-called golden men, could it be that they also have their own consciousness?"

Even if Kevin tried to capture any expression on the golden man's clever face, it was useless... After all, this thing couldn't make any expression at all.

Kevin, in fact, doesn't understand the so-called mechanical life at all. The closest thing to this is probably the former Prometheus... But Kevin still can't be sure whether the final Prometheus still has human-like emotions, but still has no regrets for his mission.

"Eh? This... I don't really know. After all, the first golden men happened thousands of years ago. I guess there are not many people on the Immortal Boat who know their original origins, right?"

After just a few seconds of being serious, Qingque suddenly leaned close to Kevin's ear and whispered, "But I heard that some of the newly minted golden men are really made by those who have committed heinous crimes after being judged by the Ten Kings... They disturbed others when they were alive, so naturally their souls will not be at peace after they die."

"This is some gossip I secretly heard in the card room. You must not tell anyone else. If the Ten Kings find out, I will be in trouble!"

It's not a big deal if it's fake, but if this news is true, then Qingque is doomed!

In the eyes of most people, the image of the Ten Kings Division is the same as the legendary underworld from long ago. After all, before the arrival of the evil spirit, everyone will be taken back to the Karma Hall for trial by the judge of the Ten Kings Division... Isn't this just a ghost taking away the soul and taking life!

"But I heard it, too?" Little Ai Li was obviously just trying to join in the fun. It would have been fine if she had sneaked over to eavesdrop, but she even had to tell others about it.

"What?! Then we must never let the fourth person know!" Qingque quickly added.

"Oh."

Little Ai Li responded without any emotion, then lowered her head, raised her loud speaker, and pressed her finger on the "replay" button.

"But I heard wow!"

“I heard wow!”

"Say wow!"

"Wow!!!"

"......"

Instantly, Qingque's thief-like quiet voice began to echo over nearly half of the factory in an exaggerated manner. It was impossible to say that no one heard it - it all depended on how many people she had to silence.

"You, you...what are you doing?!"

Qingque was about to collapse at this moment. Perhaps as a fortune teller, she had never expected that this little Ai Li would never play by the rules.

If this kind of guy were to be put into the Taibusi, probably the Taibu's "divine eyes" would have to be used to observe whether this guy had caused any trouble today, right?

"..."

Kevin rubbed his temples in a headache. He finally understood that no matter how hard he beat her, Ellie's memory would never improve. She looked like she would tear down the house if she wasn't beaten for three minutes.

Just wait and see, sooner or later he will be able to think of a way to spoil this guy.

"Okay, put your stuff away... Luofu's people will come to deal with the situation here sooner or later. We should go in now."

With his ice crystals as a restraint, it is unlikely that the golden man will be able to escape within a few days at least - such a long time should be enough for the Xianzhou people to deal with their troubles and then reorganize this chaotic factory.

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Little Ai Li immediately put the speaker back into her four-dimensional pocket. At least within Kevin's sight, in order to ensure that her butt would not get hurt, how could Little Ai Li not listen to him?

Well, of course, if we can stay out of sight and ensure that we won’t be discovered...then it doesn’t matter at all!

When she thought of this, Little Ai Li even wanted to put her hands on her hips and laugh a few times to praise her own wit. But when she lowered her head and tried to control her expression, she raised her head again, and suddenly found that everyone else had walked dozens of meters away.

"Hey! No! You guys should at least wait for me! I am the protagonist of the team!!!"

Little Ai Li immediately took two steps at a time and walked towards the people in front of her to catch up. However, this passage that seemed to extend underground with almost no light was so long, and the people in front of her didn't seem to have any intention of stopping to wait for her.

The result was that poor little Ai Li had to run hard for more than ten minutes with her short legs just to make up for the gap of dozens of meters, before she finally caught up with everyone at the end of the road where there was light.

"No... Why are you walking so fast? I almost can't breathe..."

Little Ai Li had just said half of her words when she suddenly froze as she subconsciously turned toward the outside of the passage.

"This...what is this?"

"This is war, Alicia... You haven't forgotten that, right?"

Chapter 146 This is War

War - such a word is a very distant and unfamiliar thing for most people living in peacetime.

Countless people who have experienced war have described the cruelty of war in their stories. However, although language can convey emotions, it is always limited. It cannot really allow those who have never experienced war to appreciate the cruelty of real war.

Those people can speak freely and do whatever they want - because they have never truly experienced war and are unlikely to be exposed to war.

But they forgot that there is no so-called peace in this world. The peace they experienced was nothing more than the result of wars fought by others, or in other words, while they were enjoying peace, others were enduring the inhumane wars for them.

Because if you don't limit your perspective to individuals, but instead look at countries, civilizations, planets, and even the entire universe... you will find that wars are happening all the time, and true peace has never existed.

Because as long as there are people and materials, there will be conflicts over resources. When this conflict is expanded from the individual to the collective or even the whole, war will occur.

Thinking from this perspective, as long as humans remain humans, life remains life, and this world remains a material world, war will never stop.

But is it really good for most people? Only a small number of people have the power to start a war - just like the general of the fairy ship Luofu wants to conquer a rich race that has invaded the fairy ship. As a cloud cavalry soldier, you are the main participant in the war, but do you have the power to refuse?

——Obviously, no.
