"It's nothing. On the contrary, I'm very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that the Lower City had become like this."
Bronya said very generously, as a candidate for the next High Warden, she clearly had the magnanimity that a ruler should have.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Dan Heng breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't want any more conflict.
"You just mentioned that we need to change that so-called Schwarzman's thinking, that we need to make him realize that the future can be changed, right?"
"Yes, Miss Bronya, do you have any suggestions?"
Dan Heng nodded slightly.
Bronya was puzzled upon hearing this. "This... is Mr. Danheng? I remember seeing your name in the relevant intelligence. You should know that Bai Zhi created a grotto called Magic Fairy Castle. Isn't such a grotto enough to prove to that Schwarz that the future can be changed?"
"Oh right, how could we forget about that?!"
March 7th exclaimed, "The grotto-heaven created by Little Angelica, whether used for living or farming, has undoubtedly altered Belloberg's predetermined future. This is a huge variable. If we explain these circumstances to Schwarz, with his abilities, he should be able to deduce it quickly, right?"
"I think it's because this world is a script, and the script makes us forget things, so we can't remember such important things. We are actually all slaves to fate!"
At this point, Xing began to spout nonsense with a straight face.
"You're at it again. It's just that we're thinking differently. We're thinking about how we can change the future of the people in the downtown area and Belleburg, so we didn't notice what Little Angelica was saying. What kind of script is this? How did you even come up with that?"
"Moreover, if it really is a script, then this girl, you, Xiaobaizhi and Danheng will definitely be the main characters. Hmm, thinking about it this way, we are really strong."
“That’s right, the few of us combined are invincible.” Bai Zhi laughed as well.
Dan Heng covered his face helplessly. "Sorry, March and Star are just a bit chuunibyou sometimes. Miss Bronya, since you are the commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard, you may have more access to relevant information. Could you help us persuade Schwaro?"
"Of course I can, I'll help you. Besides, I'm very curious about this too, because Bai Zhi said that my mother might have been corrupted by the star core. I must find that thing!!"
"Ding ding dong"
Bai Zhi's phone suddenly rang, attracting everyone's attention.
"Um...it's nothing, you guys continue, it seems like it was a harassing call."
Bai Zhi took out her phone and glanced at it, noticing that the contact was labeled "Recommended Games by Top Players," and then promptly hung up.
As soon as she hung up, a nearby silver trash can shook several times, and a strange, resentful aura emanated from it.
"This is a top-tier game recommendation! She just ignored it. It's the most authoritative recommendation and subscription service in the gaming industry. Does this little dragon even know anything about games?!"
In the cramped space, the silver-haired girl stared at the glowing screen and began to grit her teeth. She had wanted to draw the other person's attention to the game, but they wouldn't even answer the phone.
Could you please be a little more in line with the characteristics of your age?
When other kids this age are around, they're looking for games to play. You, at this age, are just ruining fate and causing trouble everywhere. Have you got your character portrayal wrong?!
108. Schwarzkopf was hacked by Silver Wolf
The group once again entered the large house in the mechanical settlement that belonged to Schwarz and Clara.
"Oh, it's a little sister and an older sister I've never seen before, and Sister Xi'er too, what are you all doing here...?"
Clara, who was standing in the courtyard arguing with Swallow, looked at Bai Zhi, Bronya and the others with some surprise.
"Nothing much, just here to persuade this stubborn guy. Hey, big guy, I heard you said that we can never change the future, and then used that as a reason to refuse to provide information about that star core?"
Seele took the lead and stated her purpose directly.
"Clara, get behind me!"
Seeing Seele's somewhat aggressive demeanor, Schwarz's single red eye flashed slightly, and he then shielded Clara behind him.
In his calculations, this group seemed to have ill intentions and might cause some bad situations.
"No, it's okay. Although Sister Seele looks fierce, I know she's kind and won't hurt us."
Clara shook her head and did not follow Swallow's instructions to go to the back. Instead, she took a step forward and looked at the rather assertive Bronya with some timidity.
"Hey, big guy, you don't think I'm the kind of person who'd resort to violence at the drop of a hat, do you?"
Seeing the commotion Schwarzschild had made, Seele said with some dissatisfaction.
“Seele, member of Earthfire, according to the intelligence I have gathered, you were previously known for your bravery and ruthlessness, and many wanderers have been injured by you. Therefore, it is reasonable for me to judge that you are a threat.”
Schwarz's single eye flashed red again, as if he had been calculating for a while before outputting this conclusion.
"I had my reasons, okay? Besides, those people provoked me first. It was self-defense, don't you understand? And Clara is such a lovely child, who would have the heart to hurt her!"
After Seele finished speaking, Schwarz fell silent, but then his single eye blazed red, and without a word, he blasted it towards Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi, who was watching the play: ?
While Bai Zhi was completely bewildered, Dan Heng reacted in time, drew his spear, and blocked the steel fist.
"The threat must be eliminated!"
The red light in Schwarzkopf's eyes intensified, white smoke billowed from behind him, and miniature missiles rapidly flew out from them, heading directly towards the group.
"Mr. Schwarz, what's wrong?!"
Clara was also stunned by Schwarz's actions. She couldn't understand why Mr. Schwarz, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, would suddenly start attacking.
"Clara, step back, I will protect you from harm."
Schwarz said without turning his head.
"But...I wasn't hurt, was I?"
Clara was stunned. The naive girl couldn't figure out what could have caused this. Even if it was Seele, although she had spoken a little harshly, it didn't mean she wanted to hurt her at all.
Could it be that Mr. Schwarz, like those automatons, has made a logical error?
"Hmph, let this guy teach you a little lesson. Advanced mechs manufactured using the technology of Interstellar Peace Corporation are enough to give ordinary Destiny Walkers a run for their money."
"By the way, let's make this battle, which was already in the script, happen. Little Dragon doesn't use his phone, so I'll fix the script manually!"
Behind the small villa in the mechanical settlement, the silver-haired girl was happily blowing a bubble. She was the one who caused the strange change in Schwarz.
For a skilled hacker who can easily infiltrate the Black Tower space station, making minor modifications to an automaton, such as changing what it hears and sees, is simply a piece of cake.
Although Schwarz is a high-level mech soldier, the underlying logic she uses is still the company's system. Moreover, it's technology from a thousand years ago, which is an antique. She can handle it with just a few clicks.
"Little Dragon, don't get beaten up by the mechs and end up crying!"
Seeing Swaro relentlessly attacking Bai Zhi on the virtual screen, Silver Wolf revealed a smug smile.
"Why are you taking it out on me? I didn't do anything to you!"
Bai Zhi dodged Schwarz's miniature missile with a sideways movement in the air, feeling somewhat annoyed. She hadn't even had a chance to speak to Schwarz before he was about to attack her.
Could it be that the other party has figured out that I'm going to turn Clara into a magical girl?
Seeing that the miniature missiles missed Bai Zhi, Schwarzro stopped using the trick. Instead, he emitted white steam from his body and rushed to Bai Zhi's side at an incredibly fast speed. Then, his fist, carrying terrifying heat, slammed down with the force of thunder.
"Depend on!"
Bai Zhi crossed her arms and took the punch head-on.
As an advanced mech created using the company's technology, Schwarz's combat power was clearly not low. This punch made Bai Zhi grimace in pain.
If it weren't for the fact that her level had increased thanks to the experience book, making her physical abilities significantly stronger, that blow could have broken her bones.
"Little Angelica, hang in there, we're coming to help you right away!"
Dan Heng, Xing, and the others, including San Yueqi, were not blind and could not see Schwaro's offensive. Instead, when Schwaro attacked, the mechanical settlement produced a large number of automated soldiers. These automated soldiers were fearless and frantically attacked the others except for Bai Zhi.
"You idiot, can you even understand human language? If you can't, I'm really going to fight back!"
Bai Zhi's body floated into the sky, and she shouted silently.
She wasn't without ways to deal with Schwarz; on the contrary, the burning effect of the Dragon Talisman should be able to break through Schwarz's armor.
However, she really didn't want to attack the game's own characters unless absolutely necessary, since if she burned out Schwarz's CPU, she couldn't repair it without the Horse Charm.
Clara will probably cry a lot then.
However, in Schwarzlo's ears, Bai Zhi's words were interpreted as: "You broken robot, how dare you resist! I'll capture Clara and torture her severely in a moment!"
As a result, the red light in Schwarzkopf's eyes intensified. Near the mechanical settlement, some wells were opened, and then numerous small missiles were launched without hesitation, aiming at the white angelica in the sky.
"You fucking won't listen to advice, huh?"
Seeing these missiles, Bai Zhi didn't bother to dodge anymore. She took a deep breath, and sparks flew from her mouth.
Then, a huge pillar of fire spewed from Bai Zhi's mouth, and with the levitation of the chicken talisman, it spun around in a very short time, burning and shattering the incoming missiles.
"Clara, run! I'll stop them!"
Seeing Bai Zhi's move, Schwarz didn't hesitate and turned to Clara.
109 Angelica: Could it be that the universe is targeting me?
"So, why do you think I would hurt her?"
A blue sword light, like a shooting star, flashed past Schwarz as Bai Zhi uttered those words.
Schwarzko's body paused slightly, and then his arm fell to the ground, its cut as smooth as a mirror.
Bai Zhi still didn't use the power of the Dragon Talisman to deal with Schwarz, but instead chose the flying sword. After all, the Dragon Talisman might just burn the opponent to ashes.
Moreover, she felt that Schwarz was probably having some problems right now, because in the story, although Schwarz was a bit stubborn, he wasn't like this now, acting like an enraged berserker.
Moreover, it's strange that the other party is only targeting her.
"Could it be because I'm a transmigrator that I'm being targeted by the will of the universe?"
Bai Zhi began to have doubts about various things, mainly because she had read many novels in which the protagonists, due to their transmigration status, often altered the plot and were then targeted by the will of the universe.
Or perhaps, due to the inherent corrective nature of history, it will retaliate against those who attempt to disrupt the narrative.
"System, where's the system? Give me a reply and explain!"
[Ding, the host is not a transmigrator, but rather a reincarnated one. You were reborn into this world after dying in your previous life, so you are a genuine citizen of this universe and will not be subject to any restrictions from the will of the universe.]
The system responded to Bai Zhi's question very quickly.
However, after receiving the response, Bai Zhi not only did not feel that anything had been answered, but her doubts only increased.
"That's strange... Who's behind this? Could it be that rascal Sambo?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat puzzled. If Schwarz's obvious abnormality wasn't due to some kind of correction by the will of the universe, then someone was definitely up to something.
After all, Schwarz is a robot, and she knows that there are many ruins and technological data buried in this lower city. Who knows, maybe some guy got the source code of the automaton and then beat Schwarz up.
After thinking it over, the only person on this planet who could do that is probably Sambo, that funny guy.
After all, that guy is very likely a pleasure envoy.
It's impossible that Silver Wolf ran to this planet, hacked Schwarz, and came to beat her up.
Thinking of this possibility, Bai Zhi couldn't help but laugh at herself. It was simply a fantasy. As a Star Core Hunter, Silver Wolf had a lot to do. He wouldn't be so idle as to keep an eye on this place all the time.
Besides, I haven't done anything to offend Silver Wolf.
Bai Zhi shook her head. No matter what, she still had to disarm Swaro first.
With this in mind, Bai Zhi's will stirred once more, and her flying sword moved at will, attacking Schwarz from all sorts of tricky angles.
As an interstellar civilization, the power of the weapons on the Immortal Ship was naturally beyond what advanced mechs like Schwarz could withstand. Moreover, this sword was a high-end product that Yan Qing had bought from the Industrial Construction Department at a considerable cost, and its power was far superior to standard weapons.
"Cutting iron like mud" is not an exaggeration, but a fact.
Even if Schwarz's body was made of a high-grade alloy developed by the Interstellar Peace Corporation, it couldn't withstand it.
"buzzing"
The flying sword pierced through the air, severing Schwarz's arms and legs, leaving only his body lying helplessly on the ground.
"Clara, run!"
Lying on the ground, Swallow turned his head and whispered to Clara, who was still at a loss. At the same time, the automatons attacked even more fiercely, seemingly trying to buy time.
"Mr. Schwarzlo!!"
Clara looked at Swallow, who was lying on the ground, completely unable to move and badly damaged, in disbelief.
Why did it change like this in such a short time?
