Revolution, Cyber ​​Magical Girl!

Rhodes stood on the street corner, closed his eyes, and began overclocking with wisps of white smoke rising from his head.

In front of him, several virtual electronic screens flashed data streams continuously.

Although the underground city is not managed by the NCPD, the Anting District, the top-tier wealthy area of ​​the underground city, still receives special treatment and has security and property management.

As the streetlights beside him flickered, Rod finally opened his eyes and spoke weakly.

"I've taken over all the surveillance cameras, and I've hacked into the villa's security too." He turned to look at Lu Chaoge, and seeing that the other was inexplicably standing still, his voice sounded somewhat anxious.

"Don't stand there, my intrusion can only last for 30 minutes."

Hearing the voice calling out, Lu Chaoge seemed to come back to her senses, gave a simple reply, and began to act.

His gaze remained calm, but now he had access to information that only he could see.

Name: Lu Chaoge

[Mecha Identity: Magical Girl - Codename Iris]

[Consciousness Return: 0% (Data on civilization remains that can be collected has been detected; collection will advance the return process)]

The system panel has changed once again.

Remnants of civilization? A catalyst for a return to consciousness?

Unlike before, Lu Chaoge now has expectations for this very regional system.

But as a professional mercenary, Lu Chaoge still needs to finish his work first.

Lu Chaoge flipped over and entered the villa. He paid special attention to the machine guns and electric fence on the wall and found that they were indeed ineffective.

"Watch out, the mechanical dog has spotted you. This thing is hardware-driven; I can't hack it without physical contact."

Two mechanical dogs, resembling those in front of an anime weapon shop, looked at Lu Chaoge with their eyes flashing red, and then the cannons on their bodies were deployed.

However, thanks to Rhodes' prior notice, Lu Chaoge had already prepared a countermeasure.

As the red light from his prosthetic eye in his left eye flashed, the two mechanical dogs froze. Then, Lu Chaoge flipped his right hand, severing the two dogs' heads with a folding light blade and destroying their energy cores.

His movements were clean and efficient, without a single unnecessary action.

The nervous system modified by the codename "Owl" transformed Lu Chaoge into a combat master.

Rhodes also climbed in, and at that moment he looked at the two dismembered mechanical dogs and clicked his tongue in admiration.

"Bro, your company-grade prosthetic eye with the EMP pulse is amazing! I'm really curious what you used to do at the company."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!" The changes in the system have made Lu Chaoge full of energy.

We've only just entered the yard; it's still a long way off before we can get the experimental data.

Seeing that Rod unlocked the villa's doors in no time, Lu Chaoge couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

Hacking skills are still too important; if he were to take on this job alone, he probably wouldn't even be able to get through the door.

But at the same time, he also felt a sense of anticipation. If he could unlock the next stage after installing a prosthetic body, would he be able to master hacking techniques?

As the door unlocked, Lu Chaoge and Luo De climbed inside. "Where's the experimental data?"

"I don't know. This villa has three floors; we'll have to search each room one by one," Rod replied. When he saw Lu Chaoge trying to turn on the lights, he finally couldn't help but speak up. "Don't turn on the lights. I've disabled the power. Don't you have night vision with your prosthetic eye?"

"I was just afraid I wouldn't be able to see you clearly." Lu Chaoge glanced at him; the pitch-black Rod was practically one with the darkness in the current environment. "Okay, then I'll go to the second floor first, you look for him on the first floor."

But Rod refused his suggestion, which was unusual. "No, you just follow me." Without waiting for Lu Chaoge's response, he didn't even glance at the first floor and went straight upstairs.

Rhodes's actions struck Lu Chaoge as odd. He didn't follow immediately but instead looked around carefully.

A wavy graph had just appeared on the system panel, and the wavy graph kept changing as he moved.

Gradual – Strong – Gradual.

The information source mentioned by the system is on the second floor.

Is the thing the system is looking for the same as the task objective?

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chaoge followed Luo De as they searched room after room on the second floor.

Rhodes moved quickly, scanning each room almost instantly in complete darkness.

"There's nothing on the second floor, go up to the third floor. Be careful, the homeowner might set up combat robots on the third floor." Rhodes said, gesturing for Lu Chaoge to go up first.

But he soon discovered that Lu Chaoge was still rummaging through something in a room on the second floor.

Luo De thought Lu Chaoge had made some discovery, or that he had overlooked something.

But when Rod walked over and glanced at what Lu Chaoge had found, he felt dizzy.

"Bro, are you that thirsty, coming to someone else's house to look for porn? I'll find you whatever resources you want after it's done, but can you stop causing trouble now?!"

Lu Chaoge was currently rummaging through a pile of thumb-sized digital chips, but as Rod had said, these chips didn't contain anything important; they contained pornographic videos.

The internet is very developed now, and digital cloud storage is also very large, but there are still some people with special hobbies who download resources to chips for storage, commonly known as the traditionalists.

For example, the owner of this villa is one of them, with various resource chips piled up like mountains.

The ripple intensity of the system reached its peak in this stack of chips.

The task objective and the information data that the system wants are not the same.

Despite Rhodes's urging, Lu Chaoge seemed unconcerned, casually rummaging through the chip while speaking.

"Rhodes, can you tell me the truth?"

"What truth? Lu, I don't understand what you're talking about! Hurry up, we only have 15 minutes left!" Rod's tone was very anxious, but Lu Chaoge didn't move an inch.

"Rhodes, do you think I'm stupid? You know this place too well, something's not right!" Lu Chaoge said, taking one out of the pile of chips, confirming it was correct, and then putting it in his pocket.

It really is a movie.

Immediately afterwards, he flicked his right hand, sending out a laser blade that stared directly at Rhodes.

"Tell me the truth. Since I agreed to take this job, even if I die, I don't want to die because of misinformation."

"I don't have time to explain, but I would never harm you. I need money to save my daughter!" Rod said anxiously, but seeing that Lu Chaoge remained unmoved, he finally gritted his teeth and spoke. "Fine, I'll tell you. I used to work here, and this homeowner is my boss!"

"this one?"

"that's all!"

It's just embezzlement, right? Lu Chaoge didn't think it was such a difficult topic to discuss.

Regardless of whether it's true or false, at least an explanation has been given. With little time to spare, Lu Chaoge didn't dwell on it and went straight past Luo De to the third floor.

But as soon as he stepped onto the third floor, Lu Chaoge felt a strong sense of threat. At the same time, his nervous system, modified by [Owl], made the best judgment for him, and he immediately squatted down.

The laser beam grazed his scalp, cutting a deep crack in the wall behind him.

[Intruder detected, annihilation mode activated] A robot that looks like it has a camera on its head makes a sound, and the head that looks like a camera glows red.

"There really are combat robots!" At this point, Lu Chaoge didn't care how much noise he would make, and directly pulled out the Savior grenade launcher and fired a shot.

boom!

The immense impact made Lu Chaoge tremble all over, but he still held onto the trigger and fired three shots in a row, blowing the third-floor hall to smithereens.

[Intruder detected, initiating cleanup and elimination mode]

The five robotic vacuum cleaners lying on the ground issued a warning, and then machine guns extended from their mechanical bodies.

"Watch out, there's more!" Rod warned from below.

"I know! Your former boss was a human, he even modified the robot vacuum cleaner!" Lu Chaoge gritted his teeth and used his prosthetic eye again to release the EMP, paralyzing the five robot vacuum cleaners.

With the artificial eye being used twice in a short period of time and without a core energy supply, Lu Chaoge's body also fell silent.

After clearing away the robot vacuum, Rhodes walked up nervously. Facing this battle, his expression was clearly not as natural as when he had previously breached the network.

"The commotion was too loud and might have attracted security. We don't have much time left." Rhodes quickly searched the room.

"Well, there's no way around it. You can't expect me to silently assassinate that robot with my own body, can you?"

Although [Owl] gave Lu Chaoge unparalleled combat skills, he is still a mortal, and his combat skills cannot compensate for his firepower.

While keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings, Lu Chaoge urged Luo De, "So, have you found it yet?"

Rod went in and out of the rooms on the third floor, searching through several rooms and even accessing the villa's intranet, but to no avail.

"How could it not be here? How could it not be here!" Rod frowned, his expression pained, as if he were recalling something.

Seeing Rhodes's expression, Lu Chaoge felt a chill in her heart; it seemed that this time, the chances were slim.

However, this was not entirely fruitless. Although we didn't get the experimental data, at least we got the resources.

Pshaw, it's the civilization information data that the system wants!

"No, we have to go." Lu Chaoge checked the time; 25 minutes had passed, and there were still 5 minutes until the security network was restored.

Rod wanted to look again, but Lu Chaoge didn't hesitate at all and kicked him down the stairs.

"Money can be earned again, but if you don't act now, you'll lose your life."

Rod wasn't stupid. After recovering, he punched himself in frustration before getting up and preparing to leave.

But a cold voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

"Who said you could leave?"

The next moment, the dark villa was suddenly illuminated.

As the lights inside the house came on, Lu Chaoge's heart sank to the bottom.

The security system has been restored!
