Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Seeing Li Xin's disheveled appearance, "Copy Zero" finally smiled.

This is what makes the "NESTS" combat suit truly terrifying: it can learn and grow!

During the previous battle with Li Xin, the built-in chip in the combat suit had memorized Li Xin's attack habits and analyzed the flaws in Li Xin's attacks. When facing the same combat pattern again, the combat suit can assist the user in making more effective attacks. Li Xin was not mistaken and faced "Copy Zero" with his original attitude, and quickly paid the price.

This is only the initial stage of the combat suit. In the vision of the "NESTS" organization, the most advanced combat suit in the future will be able to transform even a rich young master who knows nothing into a battle-hardened expert, unleashing amazing power.

However, such high requirements cannot be met by the current technology of "NESTS". It will take at least one or two generations of technological innovation to create such a complete combat suit. However, even the unfinished product on "Copy Zero" is still an amazing black technology when placed outside, and even Li Xin suffered from it.

The same tactic is ineffective against users of the "NESTS" combat suit!

"Copy Zero" wanted to yell that at Li Xin, but Li Xin didn't give "Copy Zero" the chance and launched a direct attack.

Defense is very energy-consuming, and "Copy Zero" didn't want his combat suit to malfunction, so he could only dodge, unaware that this was exactly what Li Xin wanted.

"careful!"

After "Copy Zero" dodged, he realized that there was a helicopter behind him, and on the helicopter were the research director and the latest combat suits!

In the chaos, "Copy Zero" only had time to grab the research director, but had no energy to deal with the latest combat suit.

Li Xin slashed down with his sword, the sharp sword energy splitting the military helicopter in two. "Copy Zero" grabbed the supervisor and quickly retreated to one side. Just as they left, the military helicopter exploded.

The rescued research director was deeply moved.

Between himself and the latest combat suit, Lord Zero actually chose to save me instead of the combat suit. Lord Zero, I will follow you for life!

"Copy Zero" was thinking that if the combat suit was gone, it was gone, since it wasn't his anyway. But if the research director died, no one would repair the combat suit for him, and he was clear about that.

Moreover, "Copy Zero" understands the true Zero's character very well. The true Zero is a very generous person who values ​​talent. A combat suit, though precious, can be rebuilt if it is lost. The impact of losing talent is long-lasting and continuous. Between talent and material goods, he will definitely choose to preserve talent.

Therefore, even if "Copy Zero" loses the latest combat suit, the real Zero will not blame him; he will probably even praise him for protecting the organization's true treasure.

Of course, such praise is meaningless; he's a clone and doesn't receive a salary.

While throwing his supervisor into another helicopter, "Copy Zero" focused all his efforts on dealing with Li Xin—who had been driven to the brink by Li Xin and was now fighting for himself!

The shadow of "Copy Zero" suddenly extended, severing a tree thicker than an adult's waist in half. The tree collapsed with a loud crash.

Li Xin narrowly avoided the shadow. He had previously been afraid to let the shadow touch him only because of the warning in his mind, but now he truly understood the shadow's destructive power, which was simply terrifying.

Seeing the look of fear on Li Xin's face, "Copy Zero" sneered.

The technology of the "NESTS" organization has long reached a level that outsiders find unbelievable. In addition to clones and combat suits, there is another advanced technology that can transfer the abilities of superhumans to other individuals.

However, this technology is still very risky. In order to experiment with this technology, the real Zero used his own clones to conduct experiments, and "Cloned Zero" was one of those experimental subjects.

The other test subjects eventually collapsed during the experiment, but he was fortunate enough to fuse with this ability called "Shadow". That's why he was chosen by the real Zero, stood out among the many clones, became the real Zero's right-hand man, and even became his stand-in in the outside world.

He had only recently integrated the power of "Shadow" and "Copy Zero," so he hadn't used it much in previous battles. But now, he had no choice but to use this still-immature power to fight against Li Xin.

Having witnessed the power of this ability in actual combat, "Copy Zero" was extremely pleased. With more adaptation and practice, he could develop more moves and become even stronger!

However, the thought that the same ability would soon appear on the real Zero, and that the real Zero would most likely receive a "plus version," completely ruined his good mood about "copying Zero."

Damn it, don't clones have human rights?

Chapter 126 Can You Take It or Not?

As a clone with zero loyalty to the organization, "Cloning Zero" will only fight desperately for himself.

Now, faced with Li Xin's "aggressive" approach, he finally decided to stop slacking off.

When "Copy Zero" got serious, his combat power immediately became formidable. His unpredictable combat suit and bizarre shadow attacks constantly assaulted and harassed Li Xin, making it impossible for Li Xin to defend against them.

The more he played, the more comfortable he became. "Copy Zero" suddenly felt that Li Xin was nothing special, so he stopped focusing on defense and started attacking with more power.

Hmph, looks like I was too cautious just now. This kid's strength isn't that great. As long as I get serious, I'm still...

The soft sword in Li Xin's hand suddenly bent, bypassing the defense of the now less tight lower hem curtain, and attacked "Copy Zero's" head, which was not protected by a combat suit.

"Copy Zero" hurriedly looked up, and the sword's edge grazed his forehead, leaving a bloody mark between his eyebrows.

"Copy Zero" was shocked and angrily said, "You actually used such a despicable weapon!"

Li Xin: "..."

Do you want to take a look at what kind of things you're using?

Forget it, Li Xin knew very well that some people were just hypocritical, and it was useless to talk to them about it.

When the vital spot between his eyebrows was attacked, "Copy Zero" immediately panicked.

He has only been "born" a few years, and in a sense, he is still a child. The real Zero implanted memories of common sense and combat into him, but without personal experience, memories are just memories and cannot be truly transformed into something he possesses. In combat, stats are important, but willpower and mentality are even more important. Even with godlike power, if one's mentality is not right, one will be crushed by beings far weaker than oneself.

In terms of overall qualities, with the aid of the combat suit and superpowers, "Copy Zero" is indeed superior to Li Xin, but it is the lack of fighting spirit that makes "Copy Zero" fall short in every aspect.

This time was no different. He thought he had the upper hand, so he immediately relaxed and Li Xin seized the opportunity. Even though he only suffered a minor injury, "Copy Zero" was very excited, which was another sign of his unstable mentality.

The pain between his brows instilled fear in "Copy Zero." He glanced behind him and saw that the researchers had already boarded a military helicopter, and the combatants had carried most of the boxes containing the data up. In other words, there was no need for him to stay here and fight Li Xin to the death.

Several black spheres rose from "Copy Zero's" hands and spun around him. Seeing this, Li Xin dared not approach and retreated a few meters. Suddenly, "Copy Zero" dispersed the black spheres and then quickly jumped onto the helicopter.

"You all go and stop him!"

"Copy Zero" addressed the combatants who hadn't yet boarded the helicopter, then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it, I still can't fully control the power of "Shadow"...

These combatants had no idea that "Copy Zero" was just a copy of the real Zero. They all thought he was the real Zero, a high-ranking officer in the organization second only to the leader. Who would dare disobey his orders?

So even though they knew they were going to their deaths, they still raised their guns and fired at Li Xin.

These combatants' firearms were clearly more powerful than those available on the market. Li Xin had witnessed this before at the base. Even with his physical strength and protective aura, he had no desire to take the hit head-on, so he could only dodge.

Li Xin's dodge gave "Copy Zero" an opportunity. He manipulated the hem of his combat suit to pull the last box of research data onto the helicopter, and then shouted, "Take off!"

"Copy zero!" he shouted.

Upon hearing the order to "Copy Zero," the helicopter pilot immediately started the helicopter, completely disregarding the combatants still delaying Li Xin on the ground. They could also see that even the organization's war god, "Lord Zero," was no match for that guy. If they didn't take this opportunity to escape, then they wouldn't need to escape at all; they could just wait to die. In the spirit of "better to die for your comrades than for yourselves," they decided to make the sacrifice of their colleagues more worthwhile.

The research director then stepped forward and asked "Copy Zero" with concern, "Lord Zero, are you alright? Is it because of the backlash from your superpowers?"

He had just witnessed "Copy Zero" coughing up blood. In addition to being responsible for researching combat suits, he also had some knowledge of superpower extraction. He could tell at a glance that "Copy Zero" had suffered a backlash from his power because he had rashly used his powerful superpower.

Although the NESTS organization has developed the technology to extract abilities, the problem is how to integrate those abilities into the body. This is a huge challenge. Many superpowered individuals may appear to have bodies that are no different from ordinary people, but their internal structures are vastly different. To accommodate those abilities, the body of the person being integrated must be modified. Although body modification is one of NESTS' specialties, the modifications required vary greatly depending on the abilities. Therefore, even with NESTS' technology, this problem has not been completely solved.

"Copy Zero's" body has already undergone some modifications, allowing him to use the "Shadow" ability to a certain extent. However, to truly wield this power freely, he needs further modifications. But such modifications cannot be done overnight; they need to be done gradually, otherwise it may cause problems at the genetic level.

When asked by the research director, "Copy Zero" answered truthfully: "I'm fine. The blood I just coughed up was indeed due to my ability. It seems I still can't control my ability freely."

After listening, the research director murmured, "It seems that relying on the body's adaptability has some problems. Perhaps we could first create a controller to regulate and adjust the ability, and then deactivate the controller once the user is proficient in using it..."

"Copy Zero" was about to ask if the controller was difficult to build, and if not, he would make one for him quickly. Then he felt the combat suit giving him an alarm. Without saying a word, he unleashed a black shadow-like energy to block a sword aura.

However, this helicopter was protected by "Copy Zero," while the other helicopters were not so lucky. All of them had their wings cut off by Li Xin's sword energy and fell from mid-air, resulting in the destruction of the aircraft and the death of the pilots.

"Copy Zero" coughed up another mouthful of blood and shouted at the pilot, "Take off faster, faster, even faster!"

The pilot was terrified by the fate of the other helicopters and frantically maneuvered the helicopter to increase its altitude.

Li Xin watched the departing helicopter with a regretful expression. He had only taken down some henchmen, but hadn't managed to eliminate any of the real leaders. It was truly a pity.

Not long after, Leona and Clark arrived at the open space, having followed the black smoke from the helicopter explosion.

"How about it?"

Clark asked Lee about the way.

"A few people were spared, but the most important person escaped."

Li Xin replied.

Looking at the wreckage of the helicopter on the ground, Clark nodded and said, "It's already very good."

Destroying the base and rescuing the kidnapped children would have essentially completed their mission. Having some survivors was already a pleasant surprise. As for the supervisors, they were never easy to capture. Li Xin had nothing to do with this mission, but they were already very grateful that he could help them with these things.

Leanna searched the wreckage of the helicopter, but there wasn't a single survivor. More than a dozen researchers were completely dead. Considering that they were the murderers who had harmed those children, their deaths were only too lenient.

Suddenly, Leona discovered something strange in the wreckage: a box containing the latest combat suits of "NESTS".

This box, used to store combat suits, was no ordinary item. It remained intact even after the helicopter explosion, only partially blackened by smoke.

"what is this?"

Leona couldn't help but say.

"I don't know, but it seems to be something very important. It was previously carried by an expert from that base."

Li Xin replied.

"In that case, let's take it back first."

Clark said to Leanna, then looked at Li Xin: "Let's go back first. Others will take care of the rest."

"it is good."

Li Xin nodded, and then the three of them returned to the place where they had rescued the child.

There, Ralph, a big, strong man as strong as a bear, was having a great time playing with the children. He tossed them high into the air one by one, catching them as they landed and tossing them up again, then catching the next one, and tossing all five children up at the same time.

The children weren't afraid; instead, they let out excited shouts.

The other children who weren't thrown high were incredibly envious, tugging at Ralph's trouser legs and urging him to let them fly high too.

"That idiot..."

Clark took off his sunglasses and covered his face, while Leanna was a little envious. She also wanted to play with these children, but unfortunately, they wouldn't cooperate.

After stopping Ralph's dangerous behavior, Clark fired a signal flare, and soon three large transport helicopters, all belonging to the Mexican army, flew over.

It was obviously unrealistic to bring so many children out of the dense forest, so the "Ikari Warriors" had a contingency plan in place: after the mission was completed, they would call a transport plane to pick them up.

Before boarding the transport plane, Clark asked Li Xin, "Mr. Li Xin, why don't you come with us? We'll be looking for Mr. Long Wu later anyway, so we can send you back."

Li Xin naturally wouldn't refuse. Although he wasn't afraid of being tired, there was no need for him to take on such a difficult wilderness survival challenge as hiking out of the primeval forest alone. He would be a fool not to take a ride if there was a chance to hitch a flight.

Three large transport helicopters were on board. Two carried the kidnapped children, and one carried several surviving combatants, ready to be taken back for interrogation. The Ikari Warriors knew too little about the organization called "NESTS," and any amount of information would be helpful.

Li Xin and three members of the "Ikari Warriors" were also on the helicopter. Clark asked Li Xin in detail about the process of fighting the "NESTS" organization.

"A magical combat suit?"

After listening to Li Xin's story, Clark said.

"Yes, the combat suit of that expert at the base is amazing. It's like it's alive, and it can even actively counter my attacks."

Li Xin nodded.

If it weren't for that amazing combat suit, Li Xin would have killed "Copy Zero" hundreds of times over. At first, Li Xin thought that the combat suit was just a bit more sturdy, but later he discovered that it seemed to have a strong degree of autonomy and could compensate for the various flaws in "Copy Zero's" attacks on its own.

"It's so amazing..."

Clark had never heard of this combat suit before. The Ikari Warriors were arguably the top mercenaries, with deep connections to the militaries of various countries and a good understanding of the latest technologies of those militaries. They knew that the Ikari Warriors were developing exoskeletons or super cybernetic suits, but even Clark had never heard of a combat suit like the NESTS suit. It was safe to say that in this aspect of technology, NESTS was indeed ahead of all other countries.

"Very valuable information, thank you."

Clark thanked Lee.

If you encounter this kind of combat suit without knowing anything about it, you'll likely suffer a great loss. Li Xin's intelligence is extremely useful to their "Ikari Warriors".

Clark had a premonition that they and the organization called "NESTS" wouldn't let things go so easily, and that this organization would be their adversary for a long time to come.

It's always good to know more about your opponents.

With the help of a transport plane, Li Xin quickly arrived at a military base in Mexico with the members of the "Rage Team".

After disembarking from the transport plane, Li Xin asked the "Rage Team" members, "What will happen to these kids?"

Clark replied, "If it's a child who was just kidnapped, that's easy to handle, but the problem is the children who have been at the 'NEST' base for a long time... Well, let's try our best to find their parents."

Li Xin understood this as well. If the children were kidnapped recently, it would be easier since their parents hadn't given up searching. But for children who had been kidnapped for many years, their parents had already given up searching, making it much harder to send them home.

Especially judging from Angel's appearance, those children may have had their past memories erased by the organization, making it even more difficult to find their parents.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work."

Li Xin said to Clark.

Clark smiled, a rare occurrence for him. He said, "It's our duty, how could we let you say thank you?"

Because Clark said that Long Wu would be here the next day, Li Xin decided to stay overnight.

The next day, as Li Xin walked out of the dormitory that Clark had arranged for him, a vibrant voice rang out.

"Uncle!"
