Kill them in Cyberman!

Cold, quiet, and empty, these insubstantial perceptions flowed into Albert's consciousness like water.

When he opened his eyes, a beautiful blue planet appeared before Albert's eyes.

That is the treasure of the solar system, the mother Earth that has been wantonly exploited by mankind.

Looking around, all I could see was a monotonous grayish scene.

"How about it? Looking at these unchanging lunar soils, isn't it boring?"

A cold voice came from the front, and although the scene was clearly the moon in space, Albert could still hear the voice.

On the endless lunar soil, sat a woman with a graceful style.

Lucy, she is the only color on this withered moon, as if she is a messenger from the blue planet, pouring down from the earth above like flowing colors.

"Yeah, just looking at this, looking at the place that I once desperately wanted to escape from, if it were me, I would probably be bored."

Albert walked to Lucy's side, sat down with legs crossed, and looked up at his hometown above his head with her.

Lucy did not reject it. She seemed to have known that Albert was coming back.

"Do you know why I came here?"

"I didn't know you would come, but the moment you came, I knew why you came."

At this moment, Lucy's voice had lost its former indifference, and instead had a hint of emptiness and a hint of loneliness.

"It seems you are not that cruel to me anymore."

"Well, I've thought about it. I don't hate you, nor Hermes..."

Lucie hugged her legs and rested her head on them, leaning towards the side where Albert was.

"Or rather, I've never hated anyone."

"is it?"

"Ah, I guessed wrong. I wanted to take advantage of your feelings."

Deliberately dragging out the words, a look of disappointment appeared on Albert's pretty face.

"Humph~"

The girl smiled, as pure as a blooming lily.

"You're so brave to admit it in front of me. Don't you guys feel uncomfortable if you don't play with people's hearts?"

"um, yes."

Albert also smiled and nodded, "Miss Lucy is willing to let me play with her, isn't she?"

Then he slowly leaned towards Lucy, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes at a very close distance.

"Go away."

After speaking in a coquettish manner, Lucy fell on her back and freed herself from Albert's entanglement.

"You know how much I wanted to escape from that place, escape from my past..."

"Until this moment, when I really did it, I realized that I had nothing left. I had left everything behind."

"The unforgettable hatred, the love I have yet to taste, the repressed past, the unclear future, everything was left by me on that blue planet. Now, all that is left by my side is this monotonous lunar soil."

"They are supposed to be quiet, but when I got here, I could hear them talking..."

"Albert..."

Lucy's expression became blank, and she stared at the earth above her head like a corpse.

"You can hear it now, those voices..."

Albert listened to her narration in silence.

“Those voices from the past, mine, others’, the living, the dead…”

Transparent tears flowed through the corners of the ice-blue eyes.

"It's... I can't go back..."

When Albert looked at Lucie again, her body was covered with spider-web-like cracks from her face, like a broken porcelain doll. She lay there quietly, lifeless...

The cracks spread further and soon covered the entire world.

The next moment, it shattered silently...

"Thank you for accompanying me on this last journey..."

Before entering darkness, Albert heard Lucy's voice in his ears.

That sigh was filled with regret and reluctance, relief and farewell.

"Lucy, didn't I tell you that?"

"If you make a wish to me, your dream will come true~"

……

Taking off the helmet that connected his consciousness, Albert couldn't help but yawn.

"It's better to do this kind of thing after you grow up a little bit."

After rubbing his little head, Albert felt sleepy.

"Master, are you okay?"

In Albert's surprised eyes, S rushed into his arms, looking frightened.

"Yeah, it's okay."

Touching S's soft hair, Albert looked up at Helen.

"What happened just now? You looked so nervous?"

"Boss, I'm so glad you're okay. Miss Lucy's heartbeat suddenly stopped just now, and you haven't come out yet. We all thought..."

Helen fell to her knees with a thud, her face pressed to the ground, in an extremely humble gesture.

"It was my carelessness. This technology is not perfect yet. If you have any questions..."

"Okay, okay, I'm fine now, right?"

"How's Lucy?"

With Albert's approval, Helen also got up from the ground, while S continued to indulge in Albert's warm little heart.

"Miss Lucy's condition has stabilized. Although there is nothing abnormal, due to the short observation time, it is still unclear whether it will be the same as before..."

"No, let's prepare for the transformation. I hope to complete the preliminary work before Eros comes back. Can you do that?"

Seeing Albert's definite look, Helen couldn't refute and could only nod in agreement.

Chapter 18: The Pride of Lion

It was one week after the incident at Institute Zero. Today was a new day for the employees working in the Hermes Building, because today they met the president of their company for the second time.

That’s right, this time Albert did not work from home, but came to the company in a unique way.

But what made Secretary S a little embarrassed was that Albert sat in his own CEO office and drank tea leisurely, not looking like he was going to work at all.

"S is so capable, he will definitely handle the work well."

Faced with Albert's charming smile, S had no way of refusing and could only obediently become a cyber worker, struggling hard among the mountains of documents.

In response, Albert smiled a smile that only capitalists could understand.

Of course, Albert didn’t come here today specifically to “exploit” the employees, but to meet with someone.

"Of course, as long as Colen is overthrown, you will definitely be the new head of the intelligence agency. Mr. Oren, you must have suffered a lot from Colen over the years, otherwise why would you contact me on your own initiative?"

After hanging up the terminal, Albert lay leisurely in the chair, waiting for his guests.

A tall and straight man in a suit pushed the door and walked into the office, with a look of disdainful arrogance on his dignified face. It was the man Albert called the Lion - Jackman.

"Ah, Uncle Jackman, you're finally here!"

Albert put down the teacup in surprise.

"Little boy, I didn't expect you to come to the company. Tell me what you want to talk to me about. I'm not as idle as you."

Jackman sat down on the chair that had been prepared long ago. His burly figure allowed him to look down at Albert. There was a faint sense of oppression in the air.

Albert didn't care at all about this. He made a sad face and said, "Uncle Jackman, I can only count on you now. If Colen continues like this, the company may go bankrupt..."

With an aggrieved voice, Albert now looked like a child who had grasped at straws.

"what is this?"

Seeing a save disk placed in front of him, Jackman was a little suspicious.

"This is evidence that Colen wants to collude with outsiders to overthrow the company!"

Albert never stops talking until he shocks someone. His gritted teeth words directly scared Jackman.

"what?!"

He quickly inserted the save file into the terminal behind his neck, and blue light flashed in Jackman's artificial eyes.

The expression on his face kept changing, from shock at first, to disbelief, and finally to rage.

Two or three minutes later, Jackman unplugged the disk and said, "Damn it! I knew that old bastard Colen had evil intentions. I didn't expect that he would actually bring his ideas to the company."

"Albert, where did you get this information?"

After thinking about it, Jackman immediately discovered the blind spot. How did Albert, a puppet president with no power, find out the dirty secrets of Colen, the old fox?

Albert had a plan for this. He immediately put on a tearful look and began to talk about how he had deliberately asked Cologne, a copper refiner, to be his advisor, and how hard it was to sleep on straw and eat bitter food, lurking beside him, and how much suffering he had endured...

"Albert, you did a great job!"

Perhaps he was shocked by the details of Albert's narration, and coupled with the fact that he had been at odds with Colen for a long time, Jackman never thought that Albert had such a mind and ability.

He excitedly slapped his big hands on the table and said, "Don't worry, Albert. As long as I, Jackman, am in the company, that old bastard Colen will never succeed."

Jackman looked so confident, as if he had already got Colen under his control.

"What are you going to do with Colum, Uncle Jackman?"

Albert first asked Jackman what he thought.

"Uh, Albert, you don't understand this. As long as you submit this evidence to the board of directors, with my support, Colen will definitely be in trouble..."

"But the company's intelligence department cannot be left without a leader for a day. After Colen is kicked out, I will be in charge temporarily. Do you understand, Albert?"

"Good fellow, the real purpose is revealed, isn't it?"

Even though Albert cursed Jackman in his heart for thinking about Peach, his tone remained gentle and soft.

"You're right, Uncle Jackman, but before we convene the board meeting, can you do me a favor?"

"Well, what kind of help? If Albert has any difficulties, your uncle Jackman will definitely help."

While saying this, Jackman was complaining in his heart, "Children are such trouble!"

"It's like this. I have a friend who has been helping me collect intelligence on Colen, but unfortunately, Colen caught him. If we defeat Colen at the board meeting,..."

"Are you worried that Coren might kill him in revenge?"

"That's right, so I'd like Uncle Jackman to send someone to rescue him from Colen before the board meeting."

"It's a bit difficult to get someone out of the intelligence agency, Albert."

"I'll give you my full support, Uncle Jackman."

Jackman was in a good mood when he heard Albert's almost pleading voice, and he quickly smiled and waved his hand.

"But it's nothing to me. Please provide me with your friend's information before the board meeting. I will personally lead a professional elite team to rescue him."

"you do not need to worry!"

"Thanks, Uncle Jackman!"

Albert responded with joy, behaving like an ordinary child who had not experienced much of the world.

After seeing Jackman off, Albert, who was sitting alone on a chair, took off the mask from his face with some annoyance.

"If it goes as expected, Coren will probably focus all his attention on Yoel who holds Eros."
