Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

Qi Yuzhe glanced at Han Che and said, "I'll have those two guys in your solitary confinement cell take a look at these six people."

Han Che's gaze shifted from the iron bars to Qi Yuzhe's face: "Solo prison? You mean Cole and Miles from the Bald Eagle?"

"Yes, it's the two of them." Qi Yuzhe nodded. "They're still the same as before; even when they're lost, they still retain their own consciousness."

"Miles said he could sense that these six people had devices similar to theirs, but the models were different. He couldn't control the same frequency and couldn't connect."

Han Che's face darkened, and his gaze returned to the six people in the cell.

His gaze swept across their bare necks, finding no scars or signs of implanted devices. "So these people really do have brain-computer interfaces, and it's not outwardly apparent?"

"It seems so now," Qi Yuzhe said. "But these six people behaved just like the other ordinary player operators; they lost their consciousness after getting lost."

Han Che stared at the group of people and muttered, "Three teams of brain-computer interface operators, the bigwigs from the White Eagle side..."

"How are the losses in the prison battle?" Han Che suddenly asked. "Is it a tough fight?"

Qi Yuzhe shook his head: "There wasn't much loss. It was easier than I planned. Two prisoners and a prison guard died, but it wasn't these six people who did it. They were killed by other casual players on the outskirts. It has nothing to do with this group."

Han Che frowned; this information was far from what he had expected.

He had fought John's team before and found it very difficult. The opponent's brain-computer interface gave them an almost superhuman ability, making them significantly superior in reaction speed and predictive ability.

Now, facing three complete teams of brain-computer interface agents at Tide Prison, Qi Yuzhe actually said he was having an easy time.

"Three teams of cyborg operators were taken down so easily?" Han Che voiced his doubts. "I found it a bit difficult to take down three cyborg operators myself."

Qi Yuzhe shook his head slightly, straightened up from the wall, walked to the front of the iron bars of the cell, squatted down, and glanced at the row of people inside.

"I feel they might not be the same thing at all."

"These guys are so bad. Not only are they greedy for money and undisciplined, but their tactics are only passable at first glance. In reality, they are not even as good as the Trojan Horse that has been trained with Shi Ding for two days."

"A Trojan horse?" Han Che grinned. "What did it do to you?"

"He's ruining my good reputation with his gun." Qi Yuzhe curled his lip. "Anyway, these guys look more like experimental subjects."

Han Che nodded, looking at the six people inside in their contorted positions and with their damaged equipment, piecing together the fragments of that clue in his mind.

"It's possible. Those Bald Eagles have been quiet for a while, but now they're up to something again. If they're experimental subjects, then they were likely sent in to gather information or conduct tests."

"Let's get out of here," Han Che said. "Once we're out, let's follow this lead and see if we can get any new intelligence. So many people with brainwaves have come out of the US; it's impossible for them to be completely without any trace."

Qi Yuzhe stood up and dusted off his knees: "Then we'll leave it to you to arrange it. Anyway, these guys are locked up here, they can't escape. Let's see how anxious the US is."

Han Che took one last look at the six kneeling figures in the cell, then turned and left.

The two walked side by side down the corridor. Han Che silently summoned the system in his mind, wanting to revive the prison guards and prisoners.

[Host, there are currently no NPCs in Tide Prison that can be resurrected.]

Han Che was taken aback, then turned to Qi Yuzhe behind him and asked, "Did you bring back the sacrificed prison guards and prisoners?"

"Yeah, I was resurrected as soon as I got out of prison," Qi Yuzhe laughed. "You were the one who resurrected me before, I can't always rely on you, can I?"

"Hmph, you're quite conscientious. How does it feel to have my prison guards working with your people?" Han Che asked.

"Your prison guards are insane. They shoot wherever they're told, they do whatever they're told."

"Luckily, I didn't stubbornly go against you back then, otherwise I would have really been used as a punching bag," Qi Yuzhe said with a wry smile.

Hearing Qi Yuzhe praise his prison guard like that made him even happier than if he were praising himself.

"How about you over there? What kind of work do you need to do this time?" Qi Yuzhe asked.

"Yes, two top clubs have come knocking on our door, specifically asking you and me to go with them to Dam Zero to play against Said," Han Che shrugged and spread his hands.

"Said? What are they trying to do?" Qi Yuzhe keenly sensed that things were definitely not that simple. "Can't they fight it themselves?"

Han Che shook his head and chuckled, "Now that the two top clubs have realized that you and I can communicate, they don't dare to approach us directly, so they can only go to Saeed first."

Qi Yuzhe was completely confused. "What are you talking about? What do you mean we can communicate?"

"I didn't explain it well." Han Che waved his hand. "Let me put it this way: a while ago, the foreign and space base BOSS, Demulan, successfully communicated. I don't know what the conversation was about, but they were able to have a conversation."

"Our country, China, feels we can't fall behind. Based on their assessment..."

Han Che stretched out a finger and poked Qi Yuzhe's shoulder, then poked his own chest. "The warden and Raven might be good candidates for communication, but they're worried they can't beat us, so they'll start with the easy target, Said."

"Huh?" Qi Yuzhe finally understood. He had two identities, and he never expected that he would have to use them at the same time at this moment.

"No, what if one day they need 'us' to help them and come to Tide Prison to beat 'us' up?"

Han Che shrugged and said helplessly, "Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, since I've fought Saeed before, and we both performed well last time, we have to go together."

Qi Yuzhe nodded, stroking his chin. He had figured things out, but then he realized something else. "Wait a minute, so why were we labeled as 'excellent communication partners'?"

"Looking at us," Qi Yuzhe pointed to Han Che's white mask, "do we seem like easy to talk to?"

Han Che scratched his head, but did not answer.

Qi Yuzhe keenly noticed this detail, "Han Che? What did you do?"

Han Che intended to scratch his slightly itchy face with one finger, but instead touched the mask and rubbed it against it.

"It's a long story, you weren't even born yet..."

"Stop taking advantage of me! Hurry up!" Qi Yuzhe said impatiently.

"When I first respawned in Tidal Prison, I didn't have enough money to resurrect, so I wanted to quickly gather some useful information and sent a player a... large red item."

"Huh?" Qi Yuzhe's eyes widened. "Are you sick? No wonder they said you're so easy to talk to, a money-bringing boy, right?!"

"I wasn't thinking that much at the time. I just wanted to find out what was going on with those players as quickly as possible!" Han Che explained.

"And now they're trying to blackmail me, saying the warden might be an easy person to talk to..." Han Che sighed.

"Who did you give it to? How come I can still contact you now?" Qi Yuzhe pressed.

"That Dragon Club agent named Li Hao, I later found out he was Xiao Bai's cousin," Han Che recalled.

"Damn, you've got some nerve giving gifts!" Qi Yuzhe laughed and cursed, "Why let the good stuff go to outsiders? You gave it to your brother-in-law!"

"Get lost! Don't talk nonsense!"
