Dressed as the only Omega in the Star Military Academy

Chapter 697 Turnaround

The footsteps were in unison.

Heavy and powerful.

Jinwu instantly heard something amiss, and quickly rushed to the tightly closed warehouse door and looked out through the gap.

I saw that a circle of guards holding particle guns had surrounded the door since I don't know when. They blocked the warehouse so tightly that even a fly couldn't fly out.

For an instant.

The core of Jinwu's heart seemed to have sunk into ice-cold water, and a sense of chill seeped out.

trap.

This word popped up in its processor.

No wonder——

There was no one guarding the warehouse where the sacrifices were stored. It turned out that this was a trap from the beginning, a trap for the suspect who destroyed the sacrifices!

Chun Jing stepped into it unknowingly.

And because of a momentary mistake, it didn't even notice it, and now the guards outside have caught it in a jar. Now its body is quite flexible, but its aggressiveness has been greatly reduced.

If I rushed out with Chun Jing, I would probably be dead.

It's still the kind of death without a whole body.

and so.

The best solution it can think of right now is to hide in this warehouse and delay time as much as possible, and then wait for Huanhuan to come and rescue it.

After thinking about this.

Jin Wu made a prompt decision to lower all the bolts on the warehouse doors, and then called Chun Jing to come over and block the door with the debris in the warehouse, although this would not have much effect.

But at least there is some psychological comfort.

Chun Jing didn't know what was going on yet. He stood up from the ground holding the little robot. When he saw Jin Wu's actions, his eyes moved slightly, and his expression was confused and a little defensive. "What are you doing?"

Jinwu sighed softly.

Seeing this, it didn't explain much, but just raised its chin towards Chun Jing.

"Look outside for yourself."

Chun Jing didn't understand.

He walked to the window sill with some suspicion and looked out. When he saw the guards holding particle guns outside, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The face that usually had no expression suddenly turned pale and gray, and his fingers involuntarily scratched the windowsill, his knuckles turned slightly white from using too much force, and dust fell down.

It was his fault.

He is not a fool.

Naturally, he could recognize that the people guarding outside were the city guards.

Obvious.

He was caught by the guards when he broke into the warehouse where sacrificial offerings were stored, and now they can't get out of the warehouse.

There are only two options before him now. Either he goes out and surrenders himself to the guards and the consuls behind them and seeks lenient treatment, or he sits in this warehouse and resists stubbornly, and is eventually dealt with by the consuls.

Both of these paths made Chun Jing's scalp tingle and his back felt a little chilly.

If the crime committed is just a small one.

Naturally, he would choose to surrender himself, but now he was charged with the crime of destroying offerings to the former emperor, which was an unforgivable crime punishable by death among the mermaids.

Even if he surrenders.

It is estimated that he will not be able to escape death or even life imprisonment.

In other words.

He couldn't escape death anyway.

No matter what he did, it was just a struggle before death. After realizing this, Chun Jing felt a little desperate.

Although Chun Jing looks a little precocious.

But after all, he was just a teenager. Now he swallowed hard, and the next moment he slid down the wall and sat on the ground as if he had lost strength, his legs seemed a little weak.

"It's over."

he muttered.

Just a few days ago, he was still dreaming that after he saved enough money, he would leave this coastal city and go to other small planets to continue his mechanical studies and develop his talents in a position that suits him.

But now looking back.

Everything has come to nothing.

Thinking of this, Chun Jing couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. He buried his head in his knees and took a deep breath, as if trying to control the surging emotions in his heart.

But even so.

There was unconsciously a hint of sob in his voice.

in case……

I wish I hadn’t come to this warehouse today.

He was not interested in the offerings and materials in the warehouse, and he knew that the situation had been tense these days, so he planned to return home after attending the ceremony.

I never went out again after that.

But after seeing the positioning device installed on the small robot start to move.

He was confused for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he followed the location and followed it. After all, all the mechanical knowledge he had learned during this period was learned from the little robot, and the other party could be considered half of his teacher.

He cannot be ungrateful.

If the little robot encountered any danger, he certainly couldn't pretend not to see it.

But who knows.

Things turned out to be like this.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't regret it, but Chun Jing didn't know who to blame.

If he had to find something to blame, it would be his bad luck. Both his parents died when he was young, and because he loved mechanical knowledge, he was out of tune with the entire city. He became an alien in the eyes of other mermaids and was even bullied because of this.

every time.

Just when Chun Jing thought his life was getting better, fate played a trick on him again and made him experience disappointment again and again.

Maybe what he can do now is -

Just accept your fate.

Chun Jing hugged his knees in despair, his eyes dull and lifeless. He was staring at a certain spot in the void in a daze, as if his mind had drifted to who knows where.

But even so.

After Jinwu lightly kicked the little robot's body a few times, he still couldn't help but silently protect the little robot, and then held it in his arms to prevent Jinwu from touching it again.

Jinwu was speechless.

After sending a few messages to Lu Chihuan using the built-in communication system installed in its body, it sat on the ground like Chun Jing, not worrying about what would happen next.

After all, there is no use in being anxious.

The worst outcome would be to lose this body.

What's more, as long as Huanhuan arrives in time and brings his real body back to it, there is a possibility of turning the situation around.

It raised its head and glanced at the small robot that was forced to shut down, and then remembered how the robot had been tampered with before. Its eyes, which were glowing with dim light, flickered a few times, and then it spoke to Chun Jing again, "It used to... always be like that?"

Chun Jing naturally heard that the "it" Jin Wu was asking about was referring to the small robot.

He hesitated.

It seemed that he was struggling whether or not to tell Jin Wu the truth. After all, the identity of the miniature robot in front of him was a mystery, and he didn't know what its intention was in following him into the warehouse.

But he also wanted to...

I guess I can't escape death, so there's nothing I can't say in the face of death.

Seeing Chun Jing's hesitant look.

Jinwu said in an unpleasant tone with an inorganic electronic voice, "I am the trainer and executive officer of this little robot. I came to the territory of the Stu Sea Mermaids to bring it back to our Mechanical City."

"Your hesitancy in concealing the truth will only make the situation worse."

These words were rarely said with a hint of severity.

You have to know that Jin Wu has been the CEO of Mechanical City for several years, and he has a good grasp of the authority of the superior.

Therefore, it was easy to scare Chun Jing in front of him.

Chun Jing was startled.

He never expected that the little robot's superior executive officer was so small that he could easily be crushed by a single step if he wasn't careful. He also had no idea how the other party performed his tasks on a daily basis.

Honestly.

He was not sure whether what the other party said was true or false, but the little robot did mention before that it was deceived by the sweet words of humans, so it ignored the CEO's orders and escaped from the mechanical city secretly.

Because the Mechanical City is relatively closed, Chun Jing is unable to contact the robots in the Mechanical City without any contact information and is not allowed to enter.

So the little robot had to ask Chun Jing for help to repair the signal transmitter in its body so that it could seek help from the outside.

However, Chun Jing had only a superficial understanding of mechanics at that time.

The little robot's request could not be completed.

It was because of this that the little robot taught him mechanical knowledge, and his progress made such a qualitative leap.

Closer to home.

If that's the case.

It was only natural for the senior executive in front of him to come out to find the little robot. Besides, the other party didn't seem to have any need to deceive himself, especially at this critical moment of life and death.

"When I picked up the little robot, its body seemed to have been hit hard by something and was about to fall apart."

Chun Jing organized his words.

After a while, he finally told the whole story of how he and the little robot had been interacting. "The chip in its body has probably been affected to a certain extent, so it consumes power quickly, and its language system is occasionally disrupted."

"As for the way it is controlled, the frequency of discovery is not too high."

"I have checked its internal condition. Its chip seems to have been tampered with. Destruction is its only command, but because its body was hit before, the chip has gone wrong inside its body."

"So I managed to retain my sanity by accident."

Speaking of it.

Chun Jing unconsciously touched the head of the little robot in his arms.

When he looked at Jinwu, he unconsciously revealed a bit of guilt on his face: "It's just that I'm still not very proficient in mechanical knowledge, so I don't know how to repair it."

"Whenever the little robot got out of control before, I basically tied it up, so nothing went wrong so far."

"who knows……"

He sighed again.

Then he added the second half of his unfinished sentence, "Who would have thought that it would suddenly break free of the rope last time and run into the warehouse to destroy the offerings dedicated to the former emperor? I arrived in time and it didn't make a big mistake."

"I also took it out in time, so no one could see our faces clearly."

"I just didn't expect it."

"This time it was manipulated by the instructions forcibly tampered with in the chip."

Chun Jing was very upset.

He stared blankly at the windowsill of the warehouse. When he thought of his impending death, his body trembled unconsciously a few times, as if he was talking to himself.

"If only I had been more careful and kept an eye on it before."

Jinwu sat aside.

It listened to all Chun Jing's words in silence, and now clenched its mechanical palm tightly. Although no emotions could be seen in front of the robot, he looked as gloomy as a dark cloud covering his head.

To know.

Ordinary robots do not have cores.

Therefore, the chip stores their memories, emotions, and so on.

The other party touched the chip of the little robot.

This is tantamount to performing a very high-risk operation on it, and the risks involved are self-evident.

Why does the other party do this?

This shouldn't be the trouble caused by the little robot. Could it be that the other party is targeting it and wants to cause a confrontation between the Stu mermaids and the Mechanical City and let them fight each other?

This is not impossible.

But who is it...who has such a deep hatred for me that he would not hesitate to enter the mechanical city to lure the small robots and tamper with their chips to retaliate against me.

This method is too tortuous.

For a moment, Jinwu couldn't get an answer.

After all, ever since it led the mechas and robots that yearned for freedom to overthrow the nobles and fled to that uninhabited planet to build their own mechanical city, many nobles have regarded it as a thorn in their eyes.

If they were the ones to do it.

It's not impossible.

"Have they...have they already installed the explosive device..."

Chun Jing put down the little robot.

On a whim, I hid behind the window and looked at what was happening outside.

After seeing the guards who installed the explosive device leave the warehouse together, he already anticipated what would happen next.

Therefore, the blood color on his face faded a little, and after his pale lips moved weakly for a few times, he spoke in despair, "Are we going to die here next?"

"I wonder if the power of the explosion will cause pain..."

Jinwu also stood up.

It climbed up to the windowsill nimbly, and after seeing the situation outside, its heart tightened slightly.

In an instant, a strong sense of urgency came over it like a tide, and it felt as if there was some huge monster chasing it from behind, keeping it in a state of tension.

Although I felt a little uneasy.

But Jinwu did not show it. Instead, he spoke calmly in that inorganic, cold voice, "Wait a little longer."

"Maybe there will be a chance of a turnaround."

Chun Jing didn't know what the turning point that Jinwu was talking about was, but when he heard it say this, he felt a little comforted for some reason.

And outside the warehouse.

Stuka Lumin, bored, held the round pearl he had received from the ceremony in his palm and spun it around casually.

He thought again of the half-blood merman he met at the ceremony.

The pigeon-blood-red eyes flashed with excitement and eagerness, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. His voice sounded lazy and indifferent, "Let's blow up this warehouse as soon as possible. I have other important things to do."

Just as Stuka Lumin was about to wave his hand to give an order, he heard a clear and pleasant voice coming from a distance.

"and many more."

Someone approached the warehouse from a distance.

Even though the guards beside Stuka Lumin pointed their particle guns at him, his expression remained calm and composed. His bright and moist eyes were like a small lake that could reflect the shadows of other people. "Let them go."

Stuka Lumen raised an eyebrow.

There was a hint of surprise and amusement in his slightly fierce crimson eyes.

"It's you."

The person standing in front of him was the half-blood merman he had just met at the ceremony.
