On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

Liao Ji!

"That's right! I am your master's friend! Your master has been kidnapped by bad guys, and I urgently need your help to rescue him!"

Overjoyed, Irene spoke succinctly, using words even a primary school student could understand, just in case the mechanical maid in front of her wouldn't comprehend it.

But it's clear that Irene greatly underestimated Number 86.

“Based on the video analysis, your relationship with your master is more like that of a master and servant than friends,” Number 86 asked with great suspicion.

".you!"

"Despite doubts about your identity, analysis of your facial expression module shows that your concern and anxiety for your master are genuine. Furthermore, based on the residual image calculations, your third-party intelligence is consistent with the conclusions of Number 86."

From the very beginning, the maid kept using the word "image." After Irene asked her about it, the maid's eyes turned into a projector, showing the girl parts of the fight with the nun at the Sea Sand Bar.

When Irene saw the familiar figure of the nun projected onto the screen, the evidence was now irrefutable. Besides gritting her teeth, the girl's worry for Liao Ji intensified.

After all, judging from Maria's battles with these mechanical maids, it wasn't just violence; it was downright sadism!

Seemingly sensing the anxiety of the "friendly unit," Number 86 spoke again.

Clearly, the maid's attempt to comfort her had the opposite effect.

Irene became even more anxious, to the point of being somewhat terrified. Upon learning of Liao Ji's impending fate, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up from the ground. Even Tamik, standing next to her, showed a look of utter shock on the young knight's face.

Having collected the reactions of the two humans opposite her, Number 86 activated her self-calibration program. Clearly, due to missing data, her judgment was flawed.

"New data received. Owner status changed to extremely dangerous!"

"The emergency care agreement is in effect, and the 'Premium' membership level has been adopted. We will soon send a distress signal to the 'Main Brain Network'."

Number 86 started uttering words that Irene couldn't understand at all, but these words sounded very impressive, which finally relieved the girl and made her nervously anticipate the moment.

however

Error. Failed to connect to the "Master Network". Reason: Key data missing.

Within seconds, the mechanical maid began frantically reporting errors, and it even seemed like it was about to burn out completely.

Fortunately, Irene reacted quickly and slapped the maid hard on the back, just like she would slap the old television set with its distorted screen.

"Is this what mutual help is like between fellow maids?" Number 86 said, her favorability towards you increasing by 5.7%.

The maid's words, after recovering from the "garbled error," made Irene roll her eyes. The girl just wanted to know what to do now if reinforcements couldn't be called for help.

Number 86's answer to this was also very simple.

"Backup plan activated. Individual soldier module loaded successfully. [Fighter Crew] Damage rate: Medium 39%. Repair materials detected nearby. Retrieval procedure initiated."

After finishing her speech, the mechanical maid left the office and returned to the Sea Sand Bar.

Those mechanical wreckages that Irene considered "beyond saving" became raw materials for Number 86 to repair herself.

She constantly wandered among the remains of these "kindred spirits," and each time she could extract recyclable parts with unparalleled precision and insert them into her own body.

As a Calamity-Transformer, Irene could also sense that throughout the process, the aura of Calamity was faintly emanating from No. 86's body. Clearly, these recyclings were not only based on mechanical assembly, but also on Calamity-Transformation abilities.

Can mechanical androids also become freaks?

Irene was secretly surprised.

It probably only took less than ten minutes in total.

When Number 86 was presented to Irene and the other woman again, it had completely changed. All the combat wear and tear on the machine that Irene couldn't repair before was now brand new, with no scars visible on its smooth bionic skin.

Even more outrageous is that the tattered clothes worn by Number 86 were also "repaired" and turned into a combination of a nurse's and a maid's outfit, with black and white stripes, a skirt, and emergency nurse's armbands and hat.

Before Irene could take a closer look, a sharp pain surged from deep within her brain, quickly followed by a slight dizziness, forcing her to stop in place and press her temples.

"What's wrong, Miss Irene!" Tamick asked anxiously from the sudden change.

"It's an old relic. It's Liao Ji's terrible state. Through the contract... Damn it! Why didn't he contact me first! He just likes to pretend to be strong alone!!"

This discomfort came and went quickly, clearly indicating that Liao Ji was deliberately preventing Yilin from discovering his physical condition on the other end of the contract.

The girl, who had only just realized this, spoke angrily. She couldn't wait any longer and had to set off immediately to storm the church!

"Could you lend me your hand, Miss Irene? I can use you to locate my master's position," Number Eighty-Six urged.

A sensor rose from the mechanical maid's palm. When Irene placed her hand on it, the girl immediately felt a faint electric current run through her body and then return to the maid.

"Information handover successful. Owner's location confirmed. Hacking into the Black Hole region network. 19% 57% 99% Hacking complete. Retrieving Black Hole region map. Retrieving church map. Retrieving underground structure map."

"The optimal route of action has been determined during the calculation."

After the cold, mechanical voice ended, Number 86 stretched out his hand in front of him.

"Inferior Material Structure - Light Wing Deployment Type III"

Irene wasn't sure if what she was seeing could still be described as "technology," but with the help of Zhuo'e, all the micro-matter around No. 86 was rapidly attracted and, in just a few breaths, transformed into a pair of "light wing" models. They then floated behind the maid and, with a "click," completed the docking and installation.

Before Irene and Tamik could react, the mechanical maid picked them up, one in each hand. Her folded wings of light fully unfurled and went into overdrive. In the blink of an eye, the maid soared into the sky, leaving the Sand Bar. Once high above the Black Hole, she aimed at a marked coordinate point below and swooped down.

In less than a few breaths, the scene around the three of them had completely changed. Irene and Tamick recognized that this place was not the church, but a place several blocks away from the church.

"The master is downstairs," Number Eighty-Six quickly explained, fearing you might misunderstand.

Clearly, the underground library in the church was just an entrance. As things stand, if they really came in through that entrance, they would still have to walk a long way to get to Liao Ji's location.

But a new question arose: the coordinates were closer, but Liao Ji was underground, while they were on the surface. How could they...?

Irene and Tamick were overthinking it.

This kind of problem was naturally taken into account by No. 86 when he made the calculations.

Following the maid's gaze, Irene also looked at a well that happened to be not far from them!

Could it be that...

"Standard Weapon Design - Mortar Power Enhancement Type IV"

Number 86 raised his arm high into the air, and a scene similar to that in the bar appeared again. Soon, the maid's hand was replaced by a dark, thick cannon barrel.

Then, the maid gestured for Irene and Tamik to move away, while she walked to the well, stretched out her arm, and aimed the cannon into the well.

"Preparation complete."

Although Irene couldn't see the specifics from a distance, she knew something big was coming just from the increasingly intense, flashing light coming from the well. She quickly pulled Tamik a little further away.

But when this light reaches its peak, the powerful energy can no longer be stored.

"Deep-blasting artillery barrage"

"32"

"1!"

Chapter 63 Take your filthy hands off him!

"Lord Ash, please stop resisting and accept Tia. Become Tia's possession, belonging only to Tia!"

The corpses around Sthija were all obeying the black-robed nun's orders. After surrounding Liao Ji, they went up one by one to fight the young man and deplete his mental energy.

The reason they didn't go together was because the nun felt sorry for him; after all, how could she bear to really hurt her beloved Lord Ash?

Everything was just to counteract that damned false contract, preventing her from touching Lord Ash's culprit!

Panting heavily, Liao Ji swung the water pipe in his hand. He had just repelled one turbid corpse when another immediately pounced on him, giving the young man no time to catch his breath.

As you can see, the muscles in Liao Ji's hands are already twitching slightly, a signal that his body is about to collapse under overload.

Fortunately, a flash of holy light brought Liao Ji, whose eyelids were starting to droop, back to his senses, and the soreness in his body was relieved slightly. However, the [Holy Healing] spell in Liao Ji's skill bar also went into its next cooldown.

Yes, Liao Jin has been able to hold on until now entirely thanks to the continuous use of [Holy Healing], but this is only a temporary measure. After estimating the energy bar, it can only support him to release it three more times at most.

"Lord Ash, you clearly understand the meaning behind Tia showing you those memories, so why are you still resisting?"

Liao Ji: "Heh, I don't understand."

"Really? Then why have you been fighting for so long, yet you've only been using Tia's [Holy Healing] spell instead of your other sisters' abilities?"

Styutia smiled smugly.

Seeing Liao Ji remain silent, the nun let out a giggle.

“Let Tia answer for you, because you know that compared to Tia, the rest of ‘them’ are only more insane and more malicious towards you. That’s why you dare not use ‘their’ abilities. You’re afraid that ‘they’ will discover you just like Tia did. Is Tia right, Lord Ash?”

You're half right.

Liao Ji, who had been fully revived using Holy Healing, answered Sciutia while smashing the head of the charging corpse like a watermelon.

"Now that you've helped me see the truth, I really don't want to 'wake them up' too soon, but don't worry, Tia, I will treat them the same way I treated you."

"The same for me?"

“That’s right, I told you from the beginning that I want to get back the Sthiuthia I know, and if they also become unfamiliar to me, then I will go to them one by one to correct them.”

After thinking for a moment, Liao Ji added a sentence at the end.

"Then punish them severely."

This seemed to enrage the nun.

The black dress that enveloped Sthija like flames burned even more fiercely, and her eyes began to blaze with a blood-red light. Her originally smug smile turned into a distorted expression.

The thought of punishment from Lord Ash was irresistible to Styutia, and a burning desire rose in her lower abdomen.

But the thought that Lord Ash would also share this "punishment" with others, and that the four of them would also be able to enjoy Lord Ash's "punishment," instantly turned the lust in his lower abdomen into anger in his chest.

"Why can't you forget them? Why are you still looking for them?! Why can't you just look at Styutia alone?!"

"Because you are all my wings, and none of you can be missing."

"Then let Tia see what Ashes can use to correct her in her current state!"

Following the nun's screams, several more murky corpses joined the battle against Liao Ji, instantly increasing the pressure on the young man.

Even so, Liao Ji still managed to find the time to continue speaking to the nun in a provocative tone during the breaks:

"Tia, you know what? Before I met you, I used my power once, a power from 'Zero.' So I believe she'll find me soon, and Zero will definitely come to save me."

Liao Ji's words were filled with trust in Zero, a stark contrast to the current rebellious nun, and the flames of jealousy burned away Sthiuthia's reason.

She immediately commanded the surrounding murky corpses to stop, and the familiar murky red mist reappeared, this time showing Liao Ji what...
