She spoke very quickly, and her hands did not stop, concentrating extremely hard. "Hmm? He is a very careful guy. He even set up defense modules. Let Bronya crack them one by one!"
Click—the door opened!
But it wasn't done by the pressed duck, Ai-chan scissor hands v(>?<)v~
Bronya: (°?°)....
Why? Why! Why did God target the emperor of this planet like this...(╯`Д?-)╯┻┻!!
Of course, no one had time to care about her inner loss, irritability and entanglement at this moment. Even the usually gentle Mei was only thinking about Bugs at this moment. Himeko led a group of people to rush in.
"Sister Bronya?"
But there were still people who cared about her. Wendy looked worried, "Why are you about to cry, Dumb Tape?"
Banya was touched, "....It's okay, Bronya just got sand in her eyes..."....
The stronghold was just a simple large warehouse. The lights came on after a few people stepped in. There were no windows on the sci-fi metal walls, and various data cables were connected to the data modules stacked in the center.
A little girl wearing a mechanical eye mask sat slumped on the round seat in front of the module, like a doll, with "03" printed on the protective suit on her chest.
The next moment, she woke up, and then: "......"
Probably because everyone rushed in too quickly, this guy didn't have time to disconnect and run away, and was caught red-handed.
"Huh? Why is there a child?"
Theresa was surprised. She and her companions came to the Gray Snake's base to find backup, but why was there a six or seven-year-old girl here? Could it be...
"Gray Serpent's daughter!"
My aunt thought she had discovered the truth, but she suddenly felt bitter. The father of this child... had been murdered...
03: "..."
"Lord Gray Snake is my master, please don't say such misleading words."
There was a coldness in her voice that didn't belong to her age, and the metal eye mask on her face seemed to add a sense of "keep away from strangers".
"Also, I don't have the authorization to answer questions from minors. Let the adults in your family ask the questions. The payment will be based on the usual standards."
"Minor, underage!?" My aunt was angry. "You are so rude! I am too old..."
Suddenly, she realized, "Eh? Why is there something wrong with this child?"
"Cybord."
Ai-chan scanned and analyzed, "Her brain was fitted with a quantum computer, and it was Gray Snake's database, which is the backup we are looking for."
"What?!" Auntie was shocked, "How is this possible..."
You know, even if God had all the cutting-edge technologies in the world combined, it would be difficult to safely complete brain modification surgery, let alone connect a quantum computer to the brain.
"Who on earth is this Gray Snake..."
She was a little confused at the moment. She thought he was just a simple information dealer in Tianqiong City, but the technology he possessed was completely beyond the scope and he definitely couldn't be an ordinary person.
At this time, the little girl 03 looked up at Ai-chan and stared——!
“You’re a robot.”
Ai-chan pouted in dissatisfaction, "No, no, no, I'm the Valkyrie of Hyperion."
03: "Robot... a robot with a cabbage head."
Ai-chan's eyes twitched, and she forced a smile, "Boss Theresa, can I beat her up?"
My aunt is speechless. Why are you arguing with a little kid?...and he is not wrong~!
But she couldn't tell her true feelings, because that would hurt Ai-chan's heart, so she coughed twice and said, "Ai-chan, find out Kiana's data, and don't forget our purpose."
Ai-chan nodded, her eyes skimming over rows of data, and after a moment she chuckled complacently:
"No, boss. The encryption of the data cannot be cracked."
No, what are you laughing at!
Theresa felt that she was being confused, and was suddenly stunned, "You can't crack it?"
Ai-chan nodded, "The encryption protocol cannot be broken. I suggest using a biometric component to authenticate and remove it. I'm a protective combat type."
What she meant was simple: she was not good at data decryption and the other party's encryption level was too high.
Well, Gray Snake is from the World Snake, and its technology is inherited from the previous civilization. It is normal that the guardian autonomous AI from the previous civilization can't handle it.
Banya, who had just entered the room, became excited when he heard it. You can’t do it, you can’t do it, how can a mere mentally retarded AI compare with the emperor of the planet Houmu~!
So she flew over and immediately started using the virtual keyboard, "Global database scan started... related protocols are being broken..."
After a moment, Banya closed the workbench and fell into deep thought, "Hmm..."
"What happened?" Mei asked anxiously.
Pressed Duck: ? ? ?....
"Bronya, it will take some time...about...three days..."
The Emperor of Hom Star failed again~
Chapter 163 Please pay first, ugly girl
The situation came to a standstill for a while. Although Kiana's information was right in front of them, they were unable to break the other party's database encryption.
'I paid for it!'
My aunt roared indignantly in her heart. Who knew that it was such a good deal, but it would end up like this.
"Why don't we just ask her?"
Ai-chan blinked and scratched her head. "All the data of Cybord (cyborg) is stored in the brain. As long as the other party agrees, we can filter out the required intelligence."
My aunt suddenly realized and said that she had fallen into a "wrong thinking" and wanted to use force for everything. This habit is very bad.
So she tried to smile gently, "Well, little friend, we have reached a deal with Mr. Gray Snake, but for some reasons, we can only get information from you now. Can you tell me where this girl is?"
As she spoke, my aunt turned on the projector, and inside it was a giggling Kiana.
03 looked up and took out the POS machine. "I have to pay for the question. Cash or card? It would be more convenient to pay with electronic money."
My aunt glared at me and said, "I paid for it!"
"This is the master's request."
03 said expressionlessly, "Your previous transaction was with the master, but your transaction with me is another transaction, and you need to pay again."
Aunt: "(＃`Д?)ノI've already paid!!!"
Gray Snake's asking price was very high. She had already mobilized all the funds she could to pay for it. In addition, in order to ensure that the news would not leak out, she had also paid an additional exclusive fee. How could she have the money now?
03 His expression remained unchanged. "Do you still need the message? If you do, please pay. If not, please leave."
My aunt is running wild, and her burning anger makes her hair look like she is about to turn into a white-haired tentacle monster~
"Don't be impulsive, Lady Theresa!" Wendy hugged her aunt tightly, fearing that she would do something discordant.
"The other party is a child. Child, please calm down, calm down!"
Mei came over, squatted down, and gently touched 03's head, "Little sister, she is my best friend."
Miss Raiden showed a sincere and worried look, "But now she is in a very dangerous situation. Bad guys may come to catch her at any time. We just want to know where she is. Can you tell us?"
03After a moment of silence, he stared at the adorable and sad elder sister in front of him, raised his hand... the POS machine in his hand, "Please pay first, ugly girl."
"Ugly, ugly girl..."
Mei's forehead uncontrollably bulged into a cross shape, and she forced a smile, "Eh? Ugly, an ugly girl? Really??!"
As she said this, her hand was about to touch "Raikiri"!
"Calm down, Mei-sister!" Wendy acted as a firefighter again.
"What are you doing? Hurry up."
Ji Zi, who was guarding the gate, looked back and said, "I always feel that something is wrong here. Let's take her back first."
"I'm sorry, but I won't go anywhere without my master's order."
03 The little head said firmly, "If you want to buy the news, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, please leave."
At this time, Banya, who was depressed by the artificial intelligence, came to his senses and said, "Buy information? Leave it to Bronya."
"(Raising the cannon) Let's pay the bill with this first."
03: "..."
When the Emperor of Houmu gave up his gentleness and returned to mercenary mode, 03 surrendered.
However, without Gray Snake's authority, she could not reveal any information, so everyone finally decided to take the child back to Hyperion to crack the encryption. Although it might take some time, there was no other way now.
My aunt contacted Einstein who was stationed on the battleship, reported the coordinates, and asked him to arrange an airship to pick her up.
"So, you kidnapped a child?"
Einstein's cheeks twitched unnaturally. "Ms. Theresa, we are a human protection organization dedicated to fighting the Honkai Impact. Please don't go further down the path of crime."
"I paid for it! I paid for it!! I paid for it! 侀!!"
My aunt was furious. "What can I do if this kid refuses to tell me the information? Even Gray Snake... has no business ethics at all!!"
Einstein shrugged. "Okay, I'll arrange the airship now, but I hope you won't do this again. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, they might spread bad things about you."
"(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~ I don't care what they say~"
My aunt said she was fearless, chatted with Einstein for a few more words, then hung up the phone and turned around, "Okay, we're going to the rendezvous point now, everyone be careful along the way."
She was not stupid. This transaction was full of weirdness, so she had to be careful.
Everyone nodded and protected 03 as they left the warehouse. Now she was the only one who knew Kiana's whereabouts, and there must not be any losses.
The moment everyone stepped out of the cabin door, a figure appeared strangely next to 03, and almost no one reacted.
"I'm sorry to bother you kidnappers." Rita's voice was somewhat teasing, "The child should be left to a maid like me to take care of him."
She followed him all the way here, intending to wait for him to find intelligence and then intercept him, but she unexpectedly discovered the quantum brain Cybord (cyborg). After reporting to Otto, the archbishop expressed great interest and issued an order to arrest him.
Smiling, Rita dropped a smoke bomb and reached out to grab 03.
However, at this moment, a sharp arc of light was able to accurately find her position even in the thick smoke, and Rita could only lean back to avoid it.
What followed was a series of attacks, with the blades extremely swift and each time aiming at the vital points.
Rita handled the situation with ease, but she had missed the best opportunity to capture the target. She could only jump back a few times to create distance, staring ahead with a frown on her face.
When the smoke cleared, a girl in green was seen holding two ring blades, her eyes filled with indelible hatred. It was Wendy.
"You..." Rita's eyes were filled with surprise, "How did you do that?"
She didn't understand why the other party could attack so accurately even though he couldn't see, which was difficult for her to do.
"Wind, it is the wind that tells me where you are."
A thin breeze lingered on Wendy's ring blade. "You have been following us for a long time. At first I thought it was my illusion, but if it's you, it makes sense that you can deceive even the wind, Rita Rossweisse!"
She didn't have a good impression of Tianming, and her hatred was infinitely magnified after she turned into the law. At this moment, her eyes were uncontrollably turning blue.
Ji Zi accurately stuffed a handful of salt into her mouth, "Control your emotions. Do you want another training session?"
Chapter 164 Ai-chan, the super invincible rocket launcher!
Wendy: o(╥﹏╥)o….
She wanted to refuse, but when she remembered her elder sister's hellish training, she swallowed the salt with a crunch, tears streaming down her face.
Although I have almost lost my sense of taste, I am more sensitive to salty taste for some reason!
"Oh it's you."
My aunt understood. If it was Rita, everything made sense. No one in Sky City dared to touch Gray Snake, but if it was Destiny, there was no one they dared not kill.
"Lady Theresa, long time no see."
Rita gave an elegant maid’s salute, “The bishop really wants this humanoid machine. Today is New Year’s Day. Don’t you think we should give a gift to our elders?”
"Hmm...that makes sense."
Click—the door opened!
But it wasn't done by the pressed duck, Ai-chan scissor hands v(>?<)v~
Bronya: (°?°)....
Why? Why! Why did God target the emperor of this planet like this...(╯`Д?-)╯┻┻!!
Of course, no one had time to care about her inner loss, irritability and entanglement at this moment. Even the usually gentle Mei was only thinking about Bugs at this moment. Himeko led a group of people to rush in.

But there were still people who cared about her. Wendy looked worried, "Why are you about to cry, Dumb Tape?"
