In Sky City, after Rita ended the call, she stood on the roof of a high-rise building in Sky City, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic below, the flashing neon lights, the ubiquitous Internet, and the transportation links that reach everywhere. She couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity of this city.

The prosperity of this city was not easy, and the price was the unlimited weakening of the surrounding areas. Except for the civilians in Sky City who were protected by Sky Patrol, the rest of Shenzhou was still living in dire straits eroded by the collapse.

Tomorrow or collapse, we never know which will come first. This is cruel, but it is indeed the current situation of most people in China.

There is no doubt that Tianqiong City is indeed a name card of Shenzhou. Because of its status as a technological capital and a shelter from the collapse, people who have suffered from the collapse flock to this paradise, while those who cannot enter the real core area are surprised to find that they have not come to heaven, but just from one hell to another.

The collapse here was even more frequent and more severe than in the place where they lived before, and the Sky Patrol, who was said to have a mission to accomplish, arrived only some time after the disaster...

Someone else's paradise may be your hell.

But this has nothing to do with destiny. Rita doesn't care about how the city develops. What she is worried about is the beast hidden in the darkness of the city, which has already revealed its ferocious fangs.

Without continuing to admire the scenery, Rita jumped from a tall building and shuttled between the buildings.

Tianqiong City in Shenzhou is a real technology capital. As a trading condition for Fu Hua to assist Otto, Shenzhou is not under the control of Tianming. Although Tianming inevitably has some contact with it, in general, the development of Shenzhou still relies on local forces.

Therefore, the power of Destiny is not considered strong in Shenzhou. Therefore, the investigation of some things still needs to be done by her and her Immortal Blade team members themselves.

Rita stopped on the roof of a building, feeling the unusual atmosphere around her, and slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows.

She did sense a familiar aura here, the remnant of power related to imaginary numbers—the aura of the Ruler of the Void. But why was there no trace of a battle here?

The Hunting Suit Shadow Iron's autonomous tracking weapon - HD-603, also known as the carbon-based hunter, wandered around the entire rooftop for a few circles, but really didn't find any useful clues. It ran back to her and shook its head.

This canine weapon, which looks like a mechanical dog, is bound to the Hunting Suit Shadow Iron armor. It can issue commands to the iron hound in a neural synchronization way, and the opponent will automatically complete the relevant commands. At the same time, the carbon-based hunter can also release the neurotoxins it carries, which can be spread through the air to make the opponent lose the ability to move. It can be said to be a good fighter.

But now that intelligence gathering was needed, the carbon-based hunters really couldn't provide Rita with more help. Rita just shook her head slightly, feeling a little pity for her intuition, but not annoyed, because she herself really didn't see anything.

Maybe the Herrscher of the Void had just come here through space teleportation and stayed for a while, so he left his presence here? Rita thought so, but she didn't stop.

She is now going to meet the information dealer named Gray Snake.

Since I can't find any reliable information, I might as well go look for the other party.

As for the other party's refusal to trade intelligence? Sorry, the elegant maid has never thought about this question. No matter how hard the other party's words are, can they be as hard as your sickle?

Also, there is an old saying in Shenzhou, called Wei Junjie, the many torture instruments of destiny will surely be able to pry open the other party's mouth.

Thinking of this, the elegant maid, one of the three active S-class Valkyries of Satori, and good friend of Orchiddale - Rita Rossweisse couldn't help but laugh. The moonlight sprinkled on her face, coupled with the teardrop mole at the corner of her right eye, made her smile even more charming. Passersby who saw her would surely be surprised at her beauty and say they were in love.

Of course, this is without seeing the sickle in Rita's hand.

[No matter what, we must get the information before Theresa and the others.] Rita recalled the order given by the bishop and came to the place where the destiny intelligence was recorded. Then she looked at the pile of mechas that had surrounded her, her eyes fixed.

The mechanical hound - the Carbon-based Reaper stands vigilantly beside Rita. With just a command from its master, it can transform into the most fearless warrior and charge into battle for its master.

Rita was surrounded by a group of mechas, and the red light emitted from the mechas locked her. This was a sign of danger, but Rita was not panicked at all and smiled slightly.

She is a S-class Valkyrie of destiny! Don't underestimate her!

The sickle was flying among the mechas. The girl wielding the sickle was like an elegant and precise dancer, dancing in the jungle of mechas. Every swing hit the target. In this waltz of steel, the sickle in the girl's hand seemed to be a baton. Every swing would be loudly cheered by the guarding mechas. They gave their light and heat to this dance, lighting up the girl's stage.

Rita put away her sickle without any sign of tiredness. Behind her were the remains of the mecha, and the occasional sparks were the aftertaste of the dance music. The cut surface was smooth and even, and professionals would praise her superb skills and perfect workmanship of the weapon.

Rita looked at the man holding a black umbrella not far away and smiled sweetly: "Mr. Gray Snake, good evening, are you waiting for someone?"

Of course, although Rita's smile looked sweet, the hidden danger was obvious. Pretty roses usually have thorns, pretty snakes are often poisonous, and bright mushrooms are most likely to cause hallucinations. Being stared at by the S-class Valkyrie of destiny, Gray Snake had no intention of letting down his guard. His red artificial eye flickered and he asked:

"You took care of all my bodyguards by yourself?"

Rita smiled sweetly: "It's just a little habit. It can make the negotiation a little cleaner. Don't you like it?"

"..." Gray Snake's silence was deafening.

"Ah... It seems that I have done unnecessary things again..." Rita said to herself, "Well, to make up for your losses, I can offer a deal with a lucrative reward."

"It seems like I have no choice but to accept it, right?" Gray Snake's somewhat mechanical voice made it hard to tell his emotions at the moment, only the light of his prosthetic eye flickered.

"A few days ago, you uploaded a photo of a girl. You knew who she was and her value, but you still chose to upload it to the Destiny information network. Now, tell me her whereabouts."

Rita's words sounded like negotiation, but they were more threatening.

Gray Snake's voice was calm, as if he was not affected at all. He asked, "So, what can I get from this deal?"

"Hmm, let me think about it," Rita frowned slightly, and seemed to be really thinking seriously, "a reliable ally, and...a guarantee that you can leave here safely."

"That sounds good, but isn't it against the spirit to use the other party's name as a bargaining chip?"

"It seems that you don't understand the value of life." Rita's smile remained, but the sickle was already in her hand.

"Ms. Rita, for snakes, death is just the beginning of the next deal. You need to be careful not to be targeted by the snakes, otherwise..."

The elegant maid didn't give Gray Snake the time to finish his words, and the sharp blade tore open his throat...

The gray snake fell in a pool of blood, and Rita slowly retracted the sickle in her hand.

"Mr. Gray Snake, you are right. Death is the beginning of the next deal. I am afraid you have no choice but to accept this deal."

.................

On the rooftop of a building in the distance, Gu Che felt complicated as he watched the real-time broadcast in front of him.

Regarding the fact that my colleague volunteered to die in front of me... Of course, Gu Che knew that Gray Snake, like Otto, the old Biden, had more than one body, but he died so cleanly and without any flaws that Gu Che had to admire him.

The ability of the Herrscher of the Void has always been very convenient. With just a little development, Gu Che has developed a technique to broadcast the real world in real time through the medium of imaginary space. Because the fluctuation is very small, even when it is performed directly in front of a group of colleagues, they did not notice anything. So it is almost possible to spy without anyone noticing, oh, intelligence investigation.

With the coordinates provided by Gray Snake in advance, Gu Che looked at the elegant maid in the picture with interest, muttering:

"The S-rank Valkyrie of destiny, Rita Rossweisse?"

I couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Why does he feel that, although they are both S-class Valkyries, Rita seems to be far inferior to Cecilia?

Chapter 91: Terili, I’m your fan!!!

On the empty streets, the evening breeze carrying the smell of blood was blowing through the streets, the moonlight was shining on the crime scene, and bright and dark red Lycoris radiata flowers were blooming on the ground.

Gu Che appeared in front of the lifeless body of the gray snake with a complicated expression.

The body of the gray snake had been extensively modified a long time ago. Except for the necessary internal organs and other flesh and blood tissues, almost everything else had become a mechanical creation. Gu Che squatted down, flipped over the gray snake's body, and confirmed the mechanical components inside.

"Let me see...neural chip, bionic eye..." Gu Che counted the missing items and suddenly noticed the biochip on the inside of Gray Snake's wrist. He was stunned for a moment, "Did you leave a biometric authentication chip specially?"

As for the situation where Rita accidentally forgot this chip, sorry, Gu Che really didn't think about it. After all, the other party is an S-level Valkyrie of destiny. It is enough to have an S-level Valkyrie like Theresa among the S-level Valkyries, otherwise Destiny will be in trouble.

As if he had noticed something, Gu Che shifted his gaze to a surveillance camera not far away, then turned his head away and ignored it.

Gu Che naturally knew that the humanoid machine was the bait prepared by Gray Snake for Hyperion. It must be said that Gu Che was quite greedy for the amazing computing power of the humanoid machine, which was comparable to that of a quantum computer.

If this is combined with the [Hacker] talent from the first simulation, he would be a Corrosion Herrscher! Although only in the electronics aspect.

"......" On the other side of the surveillance network, the little girl who witnessed a murder and touching a corpse opened her eyes wide, and unspeakable fear filled her heart. She covered her mouth tightly with both hands to prevent herself from crying out loud, as if she would be discovered by the people on the other side of the surveillance if she cried out. She couldn't be discovered, and if she was exposed, the snake would tear her into pieces.

Gu Che took out his communication device and sent a message to Gray Snake:

[Both the neural chip and the bionic eye were taken away by Rita Rossweisse, leaving only one biological chip.]

Soon, Gray Snake's message came:

[Leave the biochip to my seller to ensure the transaction goes smoothly. ]

Gu Che put away the communication device and turned to look at the corner of the street in the distance. There, a group of little girls who looked not very old were walking quickly towards this side. If you didn't know, you would think they were high school girls who had just finished school and were shopping.

But Gu Che would never be fooled by appearances. His eyes shifted to the white-haired dwarf among the trio.

Oh, Theresa, you are forty years old, why do you have to pretend to be a virgin?

Thinking of this, Gu Che also walked up to the three people, with an unconcealable smile on his face: "You are from Hyperion, right? Welcome to come from afar."

As he spoke, Gu Che's gaze kept moving between the three people intentionally or unintentionally.

Well, there is an old acquaintance, an old aunt Theresa who is in her forties and has not grown taller, a Far Eastern girl with long purple hair and a katana, and another...

Uh... Gu Che couldn't help but be dazed when he saw the loli with gray-haired spiral twin tails floating in the air.

Gray hair, gray pupils, and this appearance... Somehow, Gu Che remembered a kind lady he had met in the first simulation.

Alexandra.

"Yes, it's us." Theresa crossed her arms and tried to act dignified, trying to calm the situation during the negotiation. "Also, Mr. Gray Snake, it's impolite to keep staring at girls."

You are worthy of calling a girl?! Pah! Gu Che couldn't help but complain in his heart, but when he looked at Judas who was carried on Theresa's back, he didn't say it out loud.

This is a transaction situation, so you need to be serious and rigorous, and say less words that may make the client angry.

"I just want to get a brief understanding of the transaction partner. If you feel that I have offended you, Ms. Theresa, then I have offended you."

Gu Che did not refute Theresa's wrong address for him. He looked nonchalant, which made Theresa a little dissatisfied. She simply stopped talking about this topic and said:

"We saw a lot of mecha wreckage on the road, most of which had flat cross-sections. Do you know what happened?"

"Oh, there was a Valkyrie of destiny named Rita Rossweisse. She tried to disrupt the transaction, but now she's gone." Gu Che replied, paused, stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and raised his eyebrows.

"What?" Theresa frowned.

"The information about the Destiny S-class Valkyrie is no longer within the trading range. This information requires additional money." Gu Che said calmly with a sincere look. Even though he had already put on a white dove mask at this time, Theresa could still see the mockery in his eyes clearly.

"Is this considered forced buying and selling?" Theresa resisted the urge to take out Judas, clenched her fists, and forced a smile.

Although she was smiling, everyone who knew her knew that Theresa was already angry.

"It's okay if you want to understand it this way, Ms. Theresa," Gu Che spread his hands, "After all, it's you who need information about Kiana Kaslana, not me."

"That S-rank Valkyrie also came to us before, and was even willing to pay us twice your price to obtain information about the Herrscher of the Void. We refused, and this is enough to prove our sincerity."

"What's more, for this, not only did we lose a large amount of transaction fees, but the mecha guards we bought at a high price were also swept away by this Valkyrie." At this point, Gu Che's tone even carried a sense of grievance, "We didn't even ask Anti-Entropy for the repair fee, but Ms. Theresa, you are so fussy about a little extra intelligence fee. It really breaks our hearts..."

As he spoke, Gu Che pretended to cover his face and cry, and his acting was too exaggerated, which made Theresa's guilt disappear immediately. She realized that this unconventional guy in front of her was teasing her.

"Let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point," Theresa urged. "Anti-Entropy will pay you for the information about Rita."

Gu Che immediately stopped pretending to cry, and his tone became cheerful and happy: "That's great, you are indeed the world's cutest idol Teriri, I am really touched!"

Theresa was immediately speechless. The inquiring looks that Bronya and Mei gave her made her feel very uncomfortable and she felt terrible.

No, this guy is crazy! She, Theresa, was indeed an idol before, but that was a long time ago, why is she still bringing it up!

"Come to think of it, I'm a fan of yours, Ms. Theresa. I wonder if you can give me an autograph. Back then..."

Theresa silently took out her Judas and smashed it to the ground. The ground cracked and dust was raised.

Gu Che consciously stopped talking before he finished speaking. Today's persecution of Theresa was enough, and he was satisfied.

"Okay, Ms. Theresa, please pay the money quickly." As he said that, Gu Che signaled Theresa to transfer the money quickly.

Theresa transferred the money into Gu Che's account with a dark face and said impatiently: "Then can you tell us the information about Kiana now, Mr. Gray Snake?"

"Of course, when doing business, integrity is the most important thing." Gu Che nodded. When Theresa and the others were relieved, he changed the subject and said, "But, Ms. Theresa, you seem to have misunderstood something from the beginning. I have never been the Mr. Gray Snake in your words."

"What do you mean?" Theresa heard the words, and felt that she was teased and her tone was not good. She was about to hurt someone at any time. Mei and Bronya looked at each other and understood each other's meaning. Mei silently put her hand on her sword, while Bronya silently operated the turret of the heavy-duty bunny...

"Hey, don't be so excited, my friend." Gu Che smiled awkwardly under the white dove mask and decisively chose not to continue pulling. "You can call me Baijue, I'm Gray Snake's colleague."

"What about the Gray Snake?" Theresa asked.

"Oh, please follow me," Gu Che called out, and walked ahead on his own. Then he stopped in front of a corpse and pointed, "The gray snake you want is here."

“???” Theresa and the other two looked at each other and fell silent.

This is probably the mental journey of everyone in Hyperion right now.

When I first heard the news about Kiana, I was happy, excited and looking forward to it.

When I arrived at Tianqiong City, I saw a lot of mecha wreckage at the transaction site, and I felt nervous and uneasy.

I met an unpleasant trading partner and my blood pressure rose, but I endured it for Kiana.

Finally, the guy said that their trading partner, Gray Snake, was dead!

Mixed emotions, mixed feelings, sadness and joy, this is the state of mind of the people in Hyperion at this time.

"My colleague, in order to abide by the spirit of his transaction, refused to yield even when forced by the S-class Valkyrie. Although some intelligence was lost, he at least preserved some things for you." Gu Che's voice came slowly, and as he spoke, he handed a biochip to everyone.

"Gray Snake's body has undergone large-scale mechanical transformation, and information is no longer stored in his brain. The intelligence you want is in Gray Snake's base. This biochip is specifically used for authority identification..."

"Why don't you just give us the information about Kiana?" Bronya interrupted and asked before Gu Che could finish.

"Because I don't know either. Gray Snake is responsible for intelligence gathering, not me." Gu Che put his hands on his hips with a smug look on his face. "As the saying goes, a master can only lead you to the door, but practice depends on yourself. Whether you can find the whereabouts of your companions depends on you."

"The chip I gave you can only guarantee that you have a channel to obtain intelligence. As for whether you can break through the encryption blockade of Gray Snake..." Gu Che paused and moved his eyes to Bronya, "I think this is not too difficult for Miss Bronya, a top hacker."

Bronya made a duck face: (? ? ? )
