No strange things are allowed to evolve!

The artificial human had barely raised his hand when the bear tank lunged forward.

"A clone of the mentor will definitely have telepathy. Everyone, quickly work together to prevent him from using that ability just now!"

"it is good!"

All the superpowered individuals displayed their unique abilities, going all out from the very beginning without holding back.

In an instant, the android was firmly under control.

This made Nakamura realize the situation was very bad.

As an artificial human whose existence was kept secret from the very beginning and even Dr. Yamamoto, the highest-ranking person in the laboratory, was unaware of its existence, its abilities were far inferior to those of the later iterations.

Not only does it possess only one superpower, but it's also incredibly useless; it simply prevents it from starving and has absolutely no fighting ability.

Left with no other choice, Nakamura had to play his trump card ahead of schedule.

Before Jiang Shu could regain his senses, the artificially implanted memories of the android were unlocked, and a signal was sent to Jiang Shu.

The next moment, the android sent back feedback.

[Neural signals have been sent...]

"As a top-tier telepathic user, even when you're unconscious, your brain doesn't stop working, does it?" Nakamura chuckled, sweating profusely.

In short... surrender, you sentimental fool!

However, the next feedback from the androids followed immediately.

The other party rejected your access request, saying: "Only child, don't even try to get involved."

"what?!"

Nakamura was greatly surprised.

"Could it be that he hasn't remembered his memories from before they were sealed away? That shouldn't be the case..."

Nakamura quickly converted the scenes of the two brothers' interactions nearly a hundred years ago—more precisely, the memories extracted by the older brother—into neural signals and retransmitted them to Jiang Shu.

"Now you should be able to remember..."

"You'll definitely be able to tell the difference between the real and the fake!"

Nakamura clenched his fist.

However, feedback came again very quickly.

The other party rejected your access request and said: AI.

Nakamura's eyes widened.

How can this be AI?

"This is what AI should be like!"

Enraged, Nakamura replaced the man in SONE385 with Jiang Shu's appearance and then sent it as a signal.

He received a reply very quickly.

The other party rejected your access request, saying: This is indeed me.

Nakamura remained silent for a long time.

"How arrogant!!"

He angrily slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

Chapter 277 You asked him if he won or lost, and he said he made a profit.

Jiang Shu hadn't expected that although a person couldn't move, their perception of the outside world would still remain.

His current state is somewhat like that of a person in a vegetative state. He can't get up immediately, and he can't speak, but he can still hear and see things.

This might be because his soul came from another world, Jiang Shu thought to himself.

After Nakamura sent a signal to Jiang Shu as if sending coordinates to the Trisolarans, Jiang Shu finally saw through the lab's facade and was finally relieved.

It seems the lab has no other backup plans; those androids must be the enemy's final fighting force.

Although it seems like there's still the artificial human brother as a last resort, unfortunately, Jiang Shu is unaffected by it.

However, when he first appeared, he did startle Jiang Shu. She thought he was some kind of king among androids, a big boss who would appear at the very end.

It turned out to be a guy who was related to him by blood and got the job through connections.

Not only is he not as powerful as the androids that appeared earlier, but he is ridiculously weak. Let alone comparing him to the bear tank, there are many superhumans present who could subdue him on their own.

In short, it's a pity.

The laboratory attempted to defeat Subject 369 using a mechanic, but little did they know that Jiang Shu had already taken over the role.

While Jiang Shu's situation was sunny and cheerful, the situation on Nakamura's side was not so optimistic.

In fact, Nakamura wasn't the only one behind the monitor.

Yamamoto had also been paying attention, but he remained silent and did not say anything.

Only after seeing that Nakamura had secretly created this powerful weapon to restrain and subvert him, only to have it turn out to be more bark than bite and become a comical little gadget, did he calmly ask, "Is this the Noble Phantasm No. 369 you were talking about?"

His voice was devoid of any emotion; one could not discern any joy or anger.

Nakamura's emotions gradually shifted from anger to apprehension because of his voice.

Keep in mind that he took a huge risk to plan all of this.

They even spared No. 369 on the third and second underground levels, instead of using the artificial humans right away. Otherwise, Jiang Shu, who was alone and not fully awakened at that time, would definitely not have been able to fight against so many artificial humans.

He did this to let things spiral out of control, so he could then turn the tide, save the crumbling empire, and rescue the underground laboratory and the empire from its dire straits.

As for where the water and fire come from, that's none of your business.

But now he suddenly realizes that the water and fire seem a bit too great, so great that he can hardly hold them up.

It seems to have completely spiraled out of control.

What's worse is that he was too complacent before and had already confronted Yamamoto. It seems that Yamamoto has become an incompetent director, while he himself has become a hero of the empire. This scenario is already a foregone conclusion that will soon occur.

Therefore, he is now in a situation where he pleases neither side.

Unable to handle the mess he created, and now having broken ties with Yamamoto, there's no room for reconciliation.

Thinking of this, he could only bite the bullet and lower his voice again: "I...I'm really sorry...the situation has deviated somewhat from my plan."

After saying that, Nakamura lowered his head.

He had thought that Yamamoto would seize this opportunity to settle scores with him, kick him while he was down, and take revenge.

But to his surprise, Yamamoto did not launch a fierce attack after his initial cold laugh, as he had imagined.

Yamamoto's expression remained calm.

boom!

He simply tossed a document in front of Nakamura.

"This is..."

Nakamura was somewhat puzzled and uneasy.

"You might think I'd seize the opportunity to ridicule you mercilessly, right? I won't do that; it's pointless and would make me look bad."

Yamamoto first reassured Nakamura, then explained with a smile:

"I know you've been dissatisfied with me for a long time and have always longed for an opportunity to overthrow me. This time, taking advantage of the situation is the best proof, isn't it?"

However, I must tell you that this incident will indeed have some impact on my resume, and you could even say it's a stain. But it won't shake me, and these stains can be easily washed away.

You're a genius at scientific research, but you're too naive for other areas.

Your ancestors bore the infamy for my ancestors, and now, it's your turn.

As he spoke, Yamamoto, on behalf of Nakamura who seemed to have understood something, opened the document's cover, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Take a good look."

Nakamura trembled as he flipped through the documents, and then discovered a truth that filled him with despair—

Even if he successfully mitigates the losses and gains control of strategic weapons like No. 369, which are comparable to humanoid nuclear bombs, for the Empire, fame and fortune will not favor him; they will all flow to Yamamoto.

All he could get was the opportunity to help Yamamoto clear his name.

Yes, the document contains Nakamura's confession and details of the Empire's punishment of Nakamura for instigating this top-secret unit riot and rebellion.

The document was issued even before he, in his overconfidence, confronted Yamamoto.

In other words, while he was scheming against Yamamoto, Yamamoto was also scheming against him, and clearly the other party's methods were more sophisticated.

"It's a real shame you couldn't quell this riot."

Yamamoto sighed:

"Now I will not receive any reward from the palace."

"You bastard!" Nakamura finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He pulled out a pocket pistol from his pocket and was about to fire at Yamamoto.

But before he could release the safety pin, a number of soldiers in special operations uniforms burst into the room.

They detained Nakamura, instantly rendering him unable to resist.

Outside, helicopters roared by.

Yamamoto straightened his collar in front of the mirror: "At least, considering we worked together, I didn't ruin your reputation. I arranged a good ending for you. To make up for your mistakes, you stayed behind alone and activated a miniature nuclear bomb, perishing together with the rioters, atoning for your sins with your death."

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!"

Nakamura roared in frustration.

But as if to deliberately humiliate him, Yamamoto did not order his immediate execution.

Instead, right in front of him, she swaggered onto the helicopter parked in the center of the courtyard.

Released and roughly thrown to the ground, Yamamoto frantically swung his fists, slamming them repeatedly against the ground in front of him.

"It's because of insects like you that the Empire will never win!!"

Perhaps because the helicopter was too noisy, Yamamoto didn't hear it at all.

But it's also possible that Yamamoto simply doesn't care.

In short, he simply smiled and waved to Nakamura, bidding his final farewell.

As the helicopter slowly ascended, Yamamoto pressed the remote control in his hand.

drop...

drop...

The first to react were the three underground floors.

At this moment, the researchers and test subjects in the two remaining areas, who were not affected by the riots in the areas where Jiang Shu and Melatonin were located, were kept in the dark and had no idea what was happening in the outside world. They all heard the strange noises coming from the walls at the same time.

It was as if a powerful energy was passing by, trying to awaken some terrifying being.

One of the test subjects, already driven to the brink of collapse by torture, screamed in a fit of rage, "Stop electrocuting me! I'll confess! I'll confess!"

Some security guards suddenly woke up, looked around, and found nothing unusual. Thinking they had just imagined it, they pulled down their hats again, closed their eyes, and continued to slack off.

There's also the poet who, forced by life's pressures to conduct scientific research, actually yearns for freedom. He thinks his mysterious little toy is leaking electricity. Recalling that today is Valentine's Day, but he still has to go to work, he can't help but miss his lover who abandoned him, lamenting: "You entered my life like a cheap bomb, plunging me into a dreamlike time like being on cloud nine, but then suddenly leaked electricity, causing me unbearable pain like a bomb exploding."

In short, no one realized what was happening or what they were about to face.

Until flames erupted everywhere, and deafening explosions came from all directions.

Many people were buried forever underground before they even realized what was happening, leaving not even ashes, as if they had never existed in this world.

The scorching flames resembled a giant dragon that had finally awakened, rising all the way up from the bottom.

It left no stone unturned, venturing into every nook and cranny, from side intersections to the smallest cracks. This all-consuming heat relentlessly penetrated everything in its path, devouring everything in its way...

at the same time.

The older brother's android has been dismantled by the resistance so badly that even the plastic carpenters can't help but shake their heads and sigh, saying it's beyond saving.

Only then did Xiong Tank say with satisfaction, "Hmph, pirated copies can never beat genuine ones!"

Everyone was immersed in the joy of clearing Jiang Shu's name.

But it's unclear who started it.
