The package has assigned me way too many objects.

Chu Yinan dared not be overconfident. He knew that even though his body had grown larger in every way, his athletic ability was still relatively low, and his brain had not yet gotten used to controlling this tall and strong physique.

He rushed over, intending to kick Kim Geun-joon on the head and knock him unconscious, but his legs wouldn't obey him. After taking two steps, he staggered and fell forward in a sorry state. His knee struck Kim Geun-joon's vital spot, and there was a faint sound like an eggshell cracking.

This elite man was in so much pain that his eyes bulged out and cold sweat poured down his forehead. After letting out a cry of pain, he rolled on the ground clutching his bruised groin, and subconsciously kicked Chu Yinan, his leather shoe hitting him in the face.

Feeling completely disoriented, Chu Yinan realized his current state and what skill he could use to unleash his maximum burst of power. He knelt down, propped himself up, ran over, and repeated the knee strike from before, directly knocking Jin Genjun unconscious. Before losing consciousness, Jin Genjun's eyes bulged out like an ugly goldfish.

Chu Yinan turned around and took two steps back to the place where he had "transformed". His clothes had been torn apart by his bloated body, and among the fragments of the clothes were the "trial products" that Qilin had given him.

After a simple setup, Chu Yinan used this new foldable phone as an electromagnetic cane. Its appearance had a cyberpunk feel, with blue fluorescence flickering from time to time.

As the cane was activated, the malfunctioning drone abandoned in the corner lit up with a blue light again, and the lights on the controller looked like a pair of eyes watching Chu Yinan.

"Could this thing also be used as a wireless signal transmitter? You should have told me sooner, so I wouldn't have had to take the bus to use their Wi-Fi." Chu Yinan said with a self-deprecating laugh.

The cane in his hand projected its image onto the ground, containing the merciless response from Turing Tower:

You should have read the instructions carefully, you idiot.

"I want to help those two maid sisters, who have suffered this unwarranted misery because of me."

【Can. 】

Chu Yinan, leaning on his crutch, walked slowly in the direction he had come from, limping along. He knew exactly why Jin Genjun had been able to catch up with him so quickly.

Chu Yinan thought he had escaped a long way, at least several kilometers, but in reality, he hadn't even gone a hundred meters. It was a bit sad.

The increased visibility allowed him to see the situation clearly after walking only a few steps. The two maids were actually holding their own in that situation, and they even managed to take down two more people. Of course, a large part of the reason was that the robbers' focus was not on the two women; they were all thinking of leaving together once Jin Genjun caught Chu Yinan.

However, the two maids' fighting prowess should not be underestimated.

"What kind of monster is this? I'm a guy and I'm not even this strong." Chu Yinan's eyes twitched as he continued to walk towards that direction.

The foreman couldn't sit still anymore. His biggest thought now was regret. He should have thrown them into the sea before they woke up. Of course, his biggest regret was not being able to bring the gun with him. The AI's detection was too strict; they couldn't even bring it in after disassembling it into parts.

As it turns out, they really did manage to hold him off for a few minutes, but Kim Geun-joon shouldn't be having any major problems.

Suddenly, he saw a figure appear in the direction the little brat had run away from. It was the figure of a tall man, whose physique seemed to be a bit stronger than Kim Geun-joon's. But the only person who would appear in that location was Kim Geun-joon.

"Golden Mushroom, where's that little brat?" the foreman asked. If Chu Yinan had caught him, then the two maids would be irrelevant; they were just there to keep his side at bay with their crowbars.

"That enoki mushroom you're talking about has already been knocked unconscious by my violent attack."

Chu Yinan, leaning on his cane, gradually walked into the light. The group of people who were locked in a stalemate were stunned when they saw the naked man who looked somewhat similar to Chu Yinan. Their expressions could only be described as dumbfounded.

"What is that...?"

"What the hell is this?!"

With each step Chu Yinan took, more and more machinery appeared nearby. Transport drones, crane arms, and even forklifts from the vicinity converged, forming a steel torrent that followed him like a shadow.

The sound of rolling wheels came from the container that had just trapped him and the maid. The drones that had been piled up like trash started moving again and rushed out of the container. The cargo ship that the foreman and his men had sailed over also seemed to have suddenly gained its own consciousness, opening its dazzling eyes in the night and shining its ship lights on the foreman and his men.

"You're surrounded," Chu Yinan said weakly, silently covering his sensitive areas with his hand, pretending nothing had happened.

Chapter 85 Aftermath Work

With the AI's coordinates, the police quickly surrounded the cargo terminal and rescued the maid. Of course, there was no need for a rescue; all the police could do after arriving was clean up the mess.

Chu Yinan hid in the container alley, talking to the Kirin on his foldable phone, while also trying to figure out an opportunity to get in.

The idea of ​​AI changing size is difficult to explain to people. Even with the AI ​​aspect, if it were leaked, some biased media outlets that have been paid to do so might claim that AIs are training child spies, further damaging the reputation of AI.

However, this is actually quite funny. Given the current level of intelligence of AI, if they really want to do something big, they don't need to care about anyone's opinion at all.

Humans may have conflicts of interest, but AI will not, because the massive data flow covering all human settlements around the world is their habitat. Chu Yinan is still wondering why anyone would believe those conspiracy theories about AI.

What is AI trying to achieve?

[Your shredded clothes have been thrown away; here's a new set.]

The delivery cart handed over a set of clothes that were the same style as the ones Chu Yinan had worn before. After opening the package, Chu Yinan found that the smell of the new clothes had been covered with lemon scent. He quickly put on the clothes.

"My tongue feels so bland right now. I feel like even lemons won't taste like anything when I get back."

"Then you can eat chili peppers."

"I won't eat this. It'll make my butt feel really uncomfortable when I get diarrhea." Chu Yinan scoffed at this and continued to observe from beside the container.

I've sent your location to your guardian; they'll be coming to pick you up shortly.

"Hmm, Sister Qilin, are those guys from outside the island, like Kim Geun-jun, here to target you? There must be someone behind him. What should we do?" He frowned with worry, not wanting the artificial island where he had grown up to continue to deteriorate.

The Russian girl will handle them; you don't need to worry about that. Just focus on your dating life.

"Why bring this up again..." Chu Yinan pouted, not wanting to recall this troublesome matter.

Especially since even Aunt Liu was suspected of being a match among the known targets, Chu Yinan was even less willing to mess around with this stuff anymore; it was too tiring!

Yan Liu and Bei Yutang arrived in the police car and quickly found their little one after receiving the AI's location information.

The mother and daughter discovered that Chu Yinan was hiding behind a pile of wooden crates containing other people's belongings. They quickly went up to him, hugged him, and held him in their arms.

"Aunt Liu, you were so scared! Are you hurt anywhere? How did you get these scrapes? Does it hurt?"

Chu Yinan then realized that he seemed to have suffered some scratches. He vaguely remembered that he had been scraped when he was thrown off the bus. There were also purplish-red marks on his hands and feet. The people tied him up quite tightly at the time.

"It's alright, it doesn't hurt. There are two maids who were tied up with me over there, and they took care of me. Those bad guys have also been subdued. Aunt Liu, you don't need to worry so much. Qilin is here!" Chu Yinan comforted the beautiful young woman who was still shaken. "I've gotten a little dirty from touching you. Let's go back and take a shower before you hug me. Otherwise, I'll get Aunt Liu's clothes dirty."

"Silly boy, what's so dirty about you!" Yan Liu wanted to flick his forehead, but seeing the boy's messy hair and disheveled appearance, she couldn't even bring herself to flick him lightly. She simply smoothed his hair down. "Are you sure nothing hurts anywhere?"

"No." Chu Yinan shook his head. He looked down at his clothes. He hadn't noticed when he was getting dressed because of the dim light. It turned out that Qilin had intentionally gotten some dust on his new clothes.

After Yan Liu finished hugging him, Bei Yutang half-squatted down and used a wet wipe to wipe her younger brother's face, her expression both remorseful and serious: "From now on, you are not allowed to go out by yourself in the evenings. You must stay with me!"

It seems I won't be able to meet clients freely anymore," Chu Yinan sighed inwardly, but still hugged her domineering older sister.

*

The police quickly brought people under control of the scene, handcuffed everyone, and gathered them together.

Mandy and Shibuya took a quick look around the scene, not quite understanding what had happened. A large number of machines surrounded the area, and searchlights relentlessly shone on the cargo ship the suspect used to escape. Even the lifting arm of the cargo crane had moved irrationally to this side. There was a strange order amidst the chaos.

"Are you two ladies from Glory Island? We hope you can cooperate with our statements later. The police station will provide you with accommodation and clothing. Now, there's one more thing. Did you see a boy? And what exactly happened at the scene? Could you briefly describe it?" Mandy asked solemnly.

The light blonde-haired maid and her companion exchanged glances, unsure where to begin. The events of the evening had been particularly shocking to them.

From being inexplicably kidnapped at the beginning to the standoff with those dangerous individuals using a crowbar, none of these unexpected encounters could compare to the shock of the final scene.

The seemingly strong yet frail young man with crutches walked naked, his steps unsteady. With each step, the surrounding machinery gathered around him, like guards or soldiers, and he was the commander standing amidst the cold steel.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to see the other person's face. He stood in the light for less than half a minute. His messy hair covered half of his face, and his pale skin, combined with the glare of the bright light, made him seem to melt into the light, making it impossible to see his outline.

Looking back on that brief memory, his body had a sculpted beauty, like the David created by an ancient sculptor. Even his pale skin and weakness from using a cane could not conceal the strangeness of his body. But if there was anything that didn't fit with the David, it was a certain muscle that was engorged with blood when it shouldn't have been, which made that spectacular scene seem a bit comical.

"It's hard for me to 'say a few words' to you. I don't know how to say it. The little boy should be alright. You just dragged that man in the suit named Kim Geun-joon over. He fainted, which means the child is most likely safe and is probably hiding somewhere."

"So you subdued all these people?" Shibuya glanced at the kidnappers who were just the right amount of seriously injured.

The injured man was so badly wounded that he lost the ability to move, but his life was not in danger. The man in the suit, however, was in a much worse state. The medical staff had just done a quick diagnosis and found that his testicles were severely necrotic, almost shattered.

"Miss Maid, are you alright?" Chu Yinan, who was being led by her sister's hand, greeted them loudly.

Hearing this sound, Mandy and Shibuya were relieved, thankfully the little guy was alright.

"It seems we need to be more careful about this little guy's free rein in the future. If he gets too much attention, it could really cause a lot of trouble and danger." Mandy reflected on her recent negligence; she had been too relaxed in her work.

"Yes, the long-term peace brought by AI to the artificial island almost made me forget the ruthless methods used in those open and covert struggles." Shibuya nodded in reflection, also feeling somewhat guilty.

Chapter 86 I also want to protect you!

Police station

Perhaps considering that Chu Yinan was still a child, his statement was not formally given at the police station, but rather under the surveillance of the hospital and the supervision of the medical staff present. The two maids also enjoyed this convenience, as they did not have to go to the police station to report after their injuries were examined at the hospital.

While receiving disinfection treatment from a nurse whose face was not visible, Chu Yinan answered Shibuya Yi's questions.

"Tell me everything that happened after you and I left. If there are any details you can't remember clearly, please tell me so I can write them down for reference."

Chu Yinan felt somewhat guilty about the prosecutor's apology. Perhaps he should have chosen to go home with her back then, and then all the subsequent troubles wouldn't have happened. Her current self-blame stemmed from her insistence on going home alone.

But Chu Yinan doesn't regret his choice back then; money can blind people. A reality show-like transformation program can prevent impoverished children from returning to their real lives; sudden wealth can cause a husband from a poor family to abandon his wife who has shared his hardships; a rising career can inspire a rural teacher to develop ambitions to control finance, and he won't restrain himself until he receives a multi-billion dollar fine, and even if he does, he won't admit his mistakes.

The ambitions of the foreign conglomerates are ruthless. If Chu Yinan had returned home safely at that time, the subsequent retaliation might have involved Yan Liu and Bei Yutang, which was something he would rather never drink coffee or eat lemons for the rest of his life than see.

The thought of how he always seems to run into trouble wherever he goes lately made Chu Yinan realize he really needed to seize the opportunity to visit the homes of idols and powerful conglomerates whenever he had a spare moment. Who knows, maybe some kind of massacre will happen.

Then Chu Yinan would have to outwit and outmaneuver the local police station, destroying all possible clues that could lead to a solved case and helping the murderer escape.

Despite his inner rage and impotence, Chu Yinan still confessed everything. Of course, some things couldn't be said, such as the matter of his "manly form."

"That's about it. In the end, I hid behind a box in the alley." Chu Yinan spoke slowly, worried that he might say something wrong.

His unusually slow speaking speed was interpreted by the nurses and prosecutor Shibuya as a sign of trauma from being kidnapped, and they looked at him with increasing pity.

"Do you know what happened to Kim Geun-jun's injury?" Shibuya Yi wanted to finish the questioning quickly and give the boy more time to rest, but she had to be professional and handle the matter officially.

"He was holding a wrench and said he wanted to smash my kneecaps so I couldn't run away. He also mentioned his past history of abusing cats..."

Before Chu Yinan could finish speaking, the nurses, Yan Liu, and Yu Tang all gasped in shock, secretly cursing Jin Genjun as a hypocrite.

“I was terrified. I felt like I couldn’t outrun him no matter how hard I ran, so I picked up an iron rod from the ground to fight back. I originally wanted to hit his head, but I wasn’t tall enough, and he was careless, so I hit his little penis instead. After he fell to the ground in pain, I was afraid he would get up, so I hit his little penis twice more. Was that excessive self-defense?” Chu Yinan looked worried.

Although it sounded ridiculous, everyone felt fortunate for Chu Yinan because the other party was a vicious thug with a weapon.

Shooting birds is indeed the best way to defend against male aggression, and most self-defense techniques designed for women include this element.

"No, you did a great job!" The mature and pretty female prosecutor reassured her, continuing her work by asking, "Did you see a mysterious naked man afterwards?"

"Yes, when I was hiding behind the box, I saw a tall, strong, and athletic man with a calm yet arrogant and cold demeanor, who was also using a cane..." Seeing Shibuya Yi suddenly look puzzled, Chu Yinan changed his tune, "Just kidding, I was just trying to lighten the mood, but I did see him, though I couldn't make out what he was doing. He was in a dimly lit area."

"Alright, the questioning is over. If there is any further information that needs to be provided by you, the prosecutor's office and the police station will contact you by phone. Nurse, could you please check him again? I'll take my leave now."

Putting away her recorder and work tablet, the dignified female prosecutor bowed to Bei Yutang and Yan Liu in a personal apology before getting up and leaving.

“Tell me about your situation, focusing on the final mechanical anomaly and the naked man. Where did he end up?” Mandy and her colleague asked the maid, who was involved in the incident.

“I don’t know. What I saw was what you saw when you arrived. The thugs were knocked unconscious by the drones that suddenly became active. As for the man who was like a statue, I don’t know. He disappeared in the blink of an eye. But what I’m sure of is that the machines around us only came to life after he walked over to us.”

"Like a statue?"

"Yes, his muscular physique is very well-defined, like in 'David,' but his masculine features are too prominent, which is the biggest difference between him and 'David.' Of course, the man who operates the machine should have black hair and his facial features are not Caucasian."
