Kill them in Cyberman!

"Your guess is correct. Dr. Helen detected abnormal psychic reactions in the residues at the scene."

S nodded, confirming Albert's words.

"But now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, it is indeed difficult to deal with. I need to think carefully about the countermeasures next. Leave me alone for a while."

"I understand, Master."

S stood up and left the ward, and a peaceful atmosphere returned to the space.

At this moment, an encrypted file was sent to Albert's terminal, and the sender was Lucy.

"This was sent by your partner in Japan who almost killed us. It should be some extremely confidential information, so I received it through my personal channel."

"Also, I have already cracked the unlocking password. You only need to enter your fingerprint on the terminal to open the file."

"Finally, I wish you good luck. If I hadn't known that you were an inhuman monster, that shot would have almost scared me to death. - Lucy"

Chapter 86 Joan of Arc

A gunfight with the texture of a western movie is being played out in the desert Gobi. It is obvious that the desert bandits, who are the "evil" force, have the upper hand. They have trapped the remaining resistance behind a small rock, ready to annihilate them.

It is for this reason that some people dare to commit vicious acts such as violating young girls on the battlefield.

But as depicted in most stories, when the "evil" forces are at their most complacent, they always encounter accidents for one reason or another.

"It seems that my Lord wants me to save these lost lambs."

Amid the yellow sand and the sound of gunfire, a lone figure quietly crossed the battlefield littered with debris.

He was wearing a khaki desert travel cloak and a rare European knight-style metal helmet on his head, so his face could not be seen clearly.

At this time, Pochi-chan was faced with a major decision in her life: whether to sacrifice her guitar for a last stand or to be bullied.

"Hehehe, little sister, if you serve me well, I might be able to give you a chance to live."

The gangster approached Pochi with a lewd look on his face. He just liked to admire the other person's trembling look.

"Resist!"

"I can't do this, why do I have to face this kind of thing!!"

"Haven't you made up your mind? To cut off all ties with your past self? Why are you still so weak?!"

"I, I, I, I..."

Questioning herself madly in her heart, facing an almost hopeless reality and tremendous mental pressure, this girl, who is already timid by nature, is on the verge of collapse.

"Someone come and save me!"

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh, and warm blood sprayed on Pochi's bewildered face.

"Um?!"

The gangster looked at his skinny body in disbelief as it fell to the ground, and his head fell to the ground.

A fresh headless corpse appeared in front of Pochi.

"My Lord, you are saved, girl."

Under the bright sun, the shadow of the "knight" was elongated and projected onto Pochi's body.

Looking at the iron hand reaching out in front of him and the remaining blood on the blade, Pochi was stunned for a few seconds.

"Okay...thank you, thank you..."

He was very strong and pulled Pochi and his guitar up from the ground in one go.

"Take care of yourself, girl. I'll take care of the rest."

After doing all this, the "Knight" turned around and left, continuing to kill the remaining bandits.

five minutes later

"You...who are you?!"

Looking at the broken limbs and arms all over the ground, the leader of the bandits was horrified. At this moment, the men around him had been slaughtered like pigs and dogs by the guys in front of him.

On the other hand, the "Knight" had no signs of injury on his body, and even his traveling cloak had no tear at all, so the hail of bullets from the bandits did not cause him any trouble at all.

"Sinner, go to hell and repent."

The knight moved as fast as lightning and swung out two swords. One sword cut off the leader's hand that was trying to resist with a gun, and the other sword beheaded him neatly.

At this time, the surviving members of the caravan were still in incredible shock. What on earth had happened? Why did all the enemies suddenly die?

In the devastated battlefield, the surviving caravan members began to reorganize the goods and vehicles that had been overturned on the ground to see how much loss they could recover.

"Thank you for your help, my friend. We will repay you when we get to town."

The captain of the caravan was standing in front of the "knight" at this time, expressing his gratitude to him respectfully.

"No need to do that, sir. If you really want to repay me, how about giving me a ride?"

"Of course, this is what we should do, but I don't know how to address the benefactor?"

When the Knight heard this question, he realized that he had not introduced himself yet.

The "Knight" reached his hand into his cloak, came to the neck of his helmet, and pressed gently.

Similar to the nano-automated material of Yoel's mask, the knight's helmet shrinks and disintegrates bit by bit and is stored in the connected armor.

She has short, neat white hair, light golden eyes that reveal a peaceful look, a delicate and soft face, and is roughly in her 20s, exuding the temperament of a big sister next door.

"Joan of Arc, my friend."

……

In the newly reorganized convoy, out of respect for the female benefactor, the captain arranged for Jeanne and Pochi to sit in the same cargo box.

Looking at the beautiful older sister in front of her who seemed to be thinking about something, Pochi also fell into deep thought. She was now completely unable to connect her with the "knight" who had casually killed all the bandits before.

Although human life is the least valuable thing in this era, for a girl like Xiang Boqi, killing is something very far away from her. She doesn't want to kill, nor does she want to be killed.

"Girl, can you tell me your name?"

Suddenly, Jeanne's voice interrupted Pochi's thoughts.

"Ok?"

“Geese, geese, geese, geese!!!”

He actually took the initiative to talk to me!

Facing Jeanne's friendly face, Pochi suddenly broke out in a sweat. She was not good at communicating with people, especially enthusiastic people.

"Well, well, my name is... Pochi-Tegin... No, Ginteng."

Pochi was so nervous that he almost mispronounced the name he had just gotten.

"Silver Hand?"

Jeanne noticed the silver prosthetic on Pochi's left hand.

"Is that so?"

"What a realistic name. He looks like a good kid."

Jeanne said gently.

"Then let's get to know each other again."

"I'm Jeanne, nice to meet you,...Pochi Silverhand."

Jeanne said as she put her right hand in front of Pochi.

"Eh!"

"Yeah, I'm happy too!"

Pochi was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook hands. The two cold iron hands (Joan of Arc was wearing metal gauntlets) were clasped together, and no one felt much.

In the following time, the two people who shared the same room gradually became familiar with each other.

"Little Pochi, can I call you that?"

"Of course, Sister Jeanne, there's actually no need for etiquette..."

Pochi smiled awkwardly and touched his cheek.

"Well, in that case, I won't be polite."

"Then why did little Pochi take this caravan? I don't think you are a member of the caravan."

"Well, Sister Jeanne, actually... well, how should I put it..."

Pochi was a little speechless, and after a long while, he managed to utter one sentence, "I want to go to Newland."

"Oh, judging from your attire, you must be a homeless person, right?"

"Hey, did you see all this?"

Pochi was subconsciously startled. She had heard that city dwellers looked down on homeless people to some extent. She hoped that Jeanne would not...

"Hmm... Yeah..."

Pochi avoided looking at Jeanne d'Arc.

"It's okay, little Pochi. You must have your own reasons for leaving your family and going to Newland."

"Uh-huh."

"But you should also be more careful. Although it's not as straightforward as in the desert, the chaos and evil in Newland are more dangerous."

Joan of Arc said to Pochi with a serious expression that from the first moment she saw the girl, she was sure that she was a weak person in this era, someone who couldn't even kill her enemies, let alone protect herself.

If it were just this, Joan of Arc would probably dissuade Poch from going to Newland, but when Poch said she wanted to go to Newland, her eyes revealed a kind of hope and stubbornness, a rare indomitable spirit.

Although it was just a spark, Joan of Arc was certain that this spirit would have a future that would set the whole prairie on fire.

"If I didn't have a mission to accomplish, I would probably want to follow and witness it."

Not knowing what Jeanne was thinking, Pochi just nodded heavily and took his savior's words to heart.

Chapter 87 Challenging Authority

It was probably the night of the assassination attempt on Albert. After sending S away, Albert was alone in the ward reading the information about the Illuminati that was sent by Lucy and sorted out by Kaguya Shinomiya.

“I still suggest that you don’t delve too deeply into some things, otherwise you might spend a lot of time and get a bunch of useless answers.”

At the beginning of the material, Kaguya Shinomiya wrote this sentence.

Albert continued reading. The information was roughly divided into three parts. The first was the founding of the Illuminati, the second was the development of the Illuminati, and the last was the current situation of the Illuminati.

The data contains a large number of historical rumors and many contradictory contents, which are enough to show how deeply the Illuminati has taken root in human society and how long it has existed.

There are three versions of the story about the founding of the Illuminati.

First, the Illuminati originated in ancient Egypt and was a religious and political organization founded by a pharaoh.

The second is that the Illuminati originated in the heyday of ancient Greece and was a military, political and religious alliance composed of the aristocratic upper class of the time.

The third one is that the Illuminati originated in Japan in the 6th century AD. This is obviously nonsense at first glance. Even Kaguya Shinomiya wrote a note at the end: a joke.

As for the development of the Illuminati, this is quite rich. Kaguya Shinomiya has collected almost everything she could find, which is mixed with a large number of conspiracy theories about historical figures. A large number of famous historical figures are suspected to have connections with the Illuminati, but there is no point in mentioning modern people now, as these people have more or less died long ago.

As for the possibility of not being dead, after all, the Illuminati is an organization that has mastered the use of psychic powers, so it is impossible for them to really create psychic ascension.

Albert felt that the possibility was not high. If there really were psychic ascendants, why didn't they just rule the world openly?

However, this is not absolute, because the existence of the Illuminati has shown Albert that the water in this world is deeper than it seems.

The last part is about the current situation of the Illuminati. The part that should have been the largest is the smallest. Most of them are related to assassinations that have occurred in modern times. Among them, Kaguya Shinomiya specially marked the accidental death of Albert's parents, which she believed might be related to the Illuminati.

This situation has proved that in this cyber age where information is almost transparent, the Illuminati's control has not decreased but increased.

On the surface, they control the government and businesses, but secretly use the supernatural powers they control to eliminate those who may threaten them or their interests in order to achieve control over human civilization.

At the end of the document, Kaguya Shinomiya also left a message for Albert.

"It seems that they are targeting you now. Although I know that you will not be killed so easily, I will never allow you to die. When necessary, I will help you even if you don't want to."

Although this statement was a bit strong, Albert could still see that Kaguya Shinomiya cared about him.

Now the question is, why did the Illuminati target Albert? They didn't have any intention of recruiting him, but directly used violence to solve the problem. Moreover, they did it in public, as if telling everyone that someone wanted to kill the president of Hermes Technologies.
