Chapter 779 Two Treasures

The Sovereign's clone was blown apart, naturally making it impossible to open the secondary dimension barracks, and the mechanical army left by Manison became an isolated force.

Even if the quantum non-distance transmission channel could continue to provide mechanical force bonuses, it was only a futile trapped beast fight and could not save the situation. Almost all the troops present were seized by Han Xiao.

Han Xiao had Phillip make a count. In addition to tens of millions of ordinary mechanical soldiers, he also seized two Criminals, as well as a large number of Undying Mechanical Country troops.

After Old Manison realized that the situation was not good, he had been working hard to stop the losses. The Apostle Weapons ran the fastest, and all slipped away when they saw that the situation was not good. In the end, he desperately snatched back one Esper-type Criminal. The other two, one was captured by his own Mechanical Deity, and the other was interfered with by Ames and could not be taken away.

"Profitable, profitable!"

Han Xiao beamed.

With so many mechanical soldiers, he could reverse engineer the blueprints, especially with two Criminals in hand, he could completely deduce the technology on his own.

He made a bloody profit, while Old Manison suffered a bloody loss.

He ran out to find the Soul Transfer Instrument, but not only did he fail to get it, but he also lost part of his family fortune. He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice used to lure it. He lost a Criminal and his troops. Wonderful, wonderful.

Just imagining it in his mind, Han Xiao could guess Manison's anger now, and he felt comfortable.

He finally got a big score!

However, while it was satisfying to trick the Mechanical Country, it also left some troubles. The two Criminals had regained their self-awareness and had to be dealt with.

Han Xiao released the Mechanic-type Criminal from inside his mechanical suit, let him meet with the other Martial Arts-type Criminal, and then had the mechanical army surround them, maintaining a confrontational posture.

Seeing this, the two Criminals immediately adopted a defensive posture, but neither side moved. Although the Criminals could not remember most things, they knew from the previous battle that Han Xiao had saved them, but they still could not trust Han Xiao, fearing that they had just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's lair.

Han Xiao deactivated the Mechanical Deity. His main body passed through the encirclement and came to the two, glanced at them, and squinted, asking:

"How much do you remember?"

The two Criminals looked at each other and shook their heads.

"You can't remember anything other than fighting? What about your names?"

The two shook their heads again.

"No names… only code names…"

"What code names did the Mechanical Country give you?"

The Mechanic-type Criminal pointed at himself and then at his companion.

"I am Er Bao (Second Treasure), and he is Si Bao (Fourth Treasure)."

"…"

Hearing these two pure and unconventional names, Han Xiao didn't know what expression to make for a while.

Why was Manison so casual when giving code names to his trump cards? It was even a bit cute, and the style didn't match him at all!

Could it be that this jerk's level of naming is as bad as mine?

It seems that even the weaknesses of excellent people are similar.

Han Xiao rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and said, "How about this? You can follow me for now. I'll help you find your identities. You were all enemies of the Mechanical Country, so the information should be easy to find."

The Mechanic-type Criminal Er Bao said in a low voice, "Won't you try to control us like he did?"

"I don't have that idea yet. I can't say for sure about the future." Han Xiao spread his hands. "But you don't have a choice now, do you?"

Looking at the densely packed mechanical army around them, the two nodded silently.

In comparison, falling into the hands of this handsome and extraordinary man would not be worse than falling into the hands of the Mechanical Country.

If the other party wanted to copy the Mechanical Country's methods, they wouldn't have said so much to them now and would have directly taken them down.

"Who… are you?" Si Bao asked.

"Then listen carefully. Standing in front of you is the Leader of the Black Star Army, the protector of the Sea Blue Federation, the pinnacle of personal strength in the Shattered Star Ring, the second largest power in the Glittering World, the pillar of the Crimson Empire, the special consultant of the three Universal Civilizations, the Vice President of the Beyond Grade A Association, the cosmic hero who solved the Intelligent Plague, the recipient of the Star Sea Medal…"

"There are too many titles, I can't remember them all." Si Bao shook his head.

"… Cough, these are all my titles. You can simply call me Black Star." Han Xiao knew that the two did not know him, so he made his titles as impressive as possible.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Anyway, they had nowhere else to go for the time being. They didn't mind following Han Xiao for now. In their little remaining emotions, their hostility towards the Mechanical Country was the strongest. Following this person, they might have a chance for revenge. Otherwise, if they were alone, they would be caught back by the Mechanical Country.

After chatting for a while, Han Xiao had the mechanical army take the two Criminals back to the spaceship. He hadn't figured out what method to use to deal with the Criminals who had regained their self-awareness, so he simply stabilized the two first. After dealing with the matters here, he would slowly consider it.

His gaze turned to the other side, where the Undying Mechanical Soldiers were gathered on the side, staring at him silently. In the quantum network vision, those intelligent lives that had returned to normal were also looking at him eagerly, with the intention of turning around and running away if the situation was not good.

Having experienced the disaster of the Mechanical Country, these intelligent lives had understood the relationship of the food chain. Every Mechanic was a predator in their eyes, and there was no trust to speak of.

Han Xiao thought for a while. With his identity, it was not easy to deal with these intelligent lives, just like a butcher telling a group of meat pigs how beautiful they were, which could easily be misunderstood.

After thinking about it, he directly summoned Risda in the virtual domain.

"I'll leave your compatriots to you. Just don't let them mess around."

"Understood!"

Risda was overjoyed.

How many years had it been! He had finally waited for the day when his compatriots were rescued!

Although the specific process was greatly different from his imagined attack on the Mechanical Country's lair, the result was good.

Even if only a part of his compatriots were rescued, he at least saw a glimmer of hope!

Choosing Black Star back then was indeed the right investment!

Seeing Risda happily go up to communicate with his compatriots, Han Xiao retracted his gaze and shook his head secretly, not optimistic.

The Undying Mechanical Soldiers and Criminal technology were different. Recovery did not mean complete freedom, because the bodies of these intelligent lives were still bound to the device that transmitted and reorganized matter.

Through the energy transmission channel, Manison could locate and track them. Unless he took care of Manison's home mainframe, these intelligent lives were still prisoners trapped in their bodies. Once the bodies were shattered, Manison could switch the transmission mode and take the intelligent lives back.

This was the insurance measure of the Undying Mechanical Soldier technology. Han Xiao had not mastered this technology and did not know how to reverse engineer it and remove the binding.

So, the only effective solution at this time was to let these Undying Mechanical Soldiers stay at home obediently. Don't even think about taking them out to fight. Old Manison would not use his resources to help him reorganize Mechanical Soldiers. People would pick up the corpses in minutes.

Winning a fight was winning, but Old Manison was, after all, a master who had studied the mechanical field for countless years. His housekeeping technology was not something that could be easily analyzed.

Han Xiao himself did not expect the Undying Mechanical Soldiers to fight. First, his players were more terrifying. Second, he was not too eager for the Undying Mechanical Soldier technology, because the strength of the Undying Mechanical Soldiers lay in their almost unlimited endurance, which he could do on his own.

Instead of transforming intelligent lives into Undying Mechanical Soldiers, he would rather restore the intelligent lives and then use them to deduce the residual diagrams of the Domino Virus… The lethality of that thing was much higher than that of the Undying Mechanical Soldiers.

It didn't matter if he couldn't use it for the time being. The goal was to make the Mechanical Country lose money. Of course, these Undying Mechanical Soldiers were not useless to him. They were valuable sources of intelligence and could inquire about the conditions of the Mechanical Country's various bases.

Just as he was thinking, Hela's voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel.

"Black Star, come over quickly, the target has been found."

"The Soul Transfer Instrument has been found? Well done!"

Han Xiao's eyes lit up.

He had not forgotten that the Soul Transfer Instrument was the real goal of this trip. Now that the Earth Ring Star had been sealed off by him, he vowed not to give up until he found them. With Hela, an expert in the mental realm, leading several European Emperors to search carpet-style, the Soul Transfer Twins had nowhere to escape. No matter how magical the Soul Transfer Instrument was, it would eventually be impossible to hide.

…

Back on the spaceship, Han Xiao saw two figures tied up in the center of the room at a glance. Both were women, and they were crying with sad faces, looking like they had lost all hope in life.

"These are the Soul Transfer Twins?" Han Xiao looked at Hela, Fording, and the others. "Are you sure you didn't catch the wrong people?"

"There's no mistake." Hela took out a dark crystal mirror and handed it to Han Xiao. "They confessed everything. This is the Soul Transfer Instrument."

Han Xiao took the Soul Transfer Instrument, weighed it, and looked at the item description on the panel.

[Soul Transfer Instrument: Cosmic Treasure item, unknown cause, unknown principle, can transfer souls at will, and ignore the rejection symptoms of the body, achieving a perfect fit, but only special individuals can exert the power of the Soul Transfer Instrument, the specific requirements are unknown]

Another Cosmic Treasure, and one that he had never seen in his previous life… Han Xiao was secretly happy.

"How did you catch them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their heads to look at Harrison.

"Don't look at me, I just pointed randomly…"

Harrison waved his hands repeatedly, looking embarrassed.

"… Okay, I understand." Han Xiao's mouth twitched.

The aura of European luck seemed to have differences. Harrison was particularly sensitive in finding treasures.

No wonder the Soul Transfer Twins had an expression of doubting their lives—they had changed their bodies countless times and thought they were perfect, but they were defeated by inexplicable luck. Anyone would have a mental breakdown.

Han Xiao turned to look at the Soul Transfer Twins and asked:

"How do you use this thing?"

Jill hurriedly said, "Only the two of us in the entire universe are qualified to use the Soul Transfer Instrument. We are willing to serve you! You have always been my idol! It is our honor to work for the army."

Now, all ambitions and visions had become bubbles.

Jill had only one thought left, which was to use his status as the only qualified person to use the Soul Transfer Instrument as a bargaining chip to join Black Star and exchange it for a chance to survive!

Seeing this, Han Xiao secretly curled his lips.

Tsk tsk, this flattery is too stiff, it's obvious that you don't have enough skill.

"You said that only you two in the entire universe can use the Soul Transfer Instrument?"

"Really, I didn't lie to you. The Modo Civilization tested trillions of people, and only the two of us became qualified. We were born for the Soul Transfer Instrument!"

"We'll have to try to find out. Tell me, how do you usually use it?"

The two had no choice but to tell him how they used the Soul Transfer Instrument.

Han Xiao did it once, but there was no reaction. Only the panel popped up a prompt.

[Qualification test in progress… Test completed, you are not qualified to use the Soul Transfer Instrument]

"It seems like it really doesn't work."

Han Xiao studied it for a while, but he couldn't figure out why. The panel didn't show what specific conditions were required to meet the qualifications.

After thinking about it, he handed the Soul Transfer Instrument to Hela and said:

"Don't just stand there, try it too."

Hela casually tried it, but there was no reaction either. Seeing this, everyone took turns to test it.

Looking at this scene, Jill and Warren still pretended to have a sincere and enthusiastic expression on their faces, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in their eyes, and they secretly gloated.

No matter how hard you try, it's useless. We are the only masters of the Soul Transfer Instrument!

After a while, seeing that everyone had no intention of stopping, Jill pursed his lips and couldn't help but emphasize:

"I said, only we brothers are qualified. No one can use the Soul Transfer Instrument except us… What?!"

He was only halfway through his sentence when his eyes widened suddenly and he froze in place.

The mirror surface of the Soul Transfer Instrument rippled with black, swallowing Fording's palm, sinking deeper and deeper. The eager look was like a lustful slut.

"Huh?" Fording realized it belatedly and said in surprise, "Did I succeed?"

"That's it?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. "It doesn't seem like the conditions are that harsh."

"You you you you…"

Jill and Warren stuttered, their eyes wide.

They couldn't believe that a qualified person who was one in a trillion had appeared in front of them so unexpectedly!

The two had always thought of themselves as the only chosen ones, but the scene in front of them shattered their sense of superiority!

The Soul Transfer Instrument, which they regarded as a sacred object, not only found a new love in front of them, but also looked incredibly hungry and eager, wishing it could suck the other person in!

In that instant, the two only felt that their eyes were about to split and their pupils turned green, as if they were watching their wife, whom they had sworn eternal love to, change her mind and throw herself into someone else's arms in front of them. Their minds instantly exploded.

Han Xiao shook his head. "You tested trillions of people and only found the two of you. This only shows one thing… The Modo Civilization is declining in talent."

Jill suddenly came back to his senses and thought that something was wrong. If they lost their value, even living would be a luxury.

Thinking of this, Jill forced himself to cheer up and shouted:

"We are still useful! We can pass on the experience of using the Soul Transfer Instrument over the years. We can also reveal what missions the Modo Civilization has asked us to carry out over the years. We also…"

Crack!

Before he could finish speaking, his shout stopped abruptly. His head rotated three hundred and sixty degrees, his neck was twisted into a twist, and the shattered vertebrae pierced his skin.

Ames walked into the cabin, flicked her finger, and the force field rotated, twisting Warren's neck, who was still in shock, before it could fully show on his face. She made a decisive move.

She looked around, and her eyes finally fell on Han Xiao. She said in a deep voice:

"I want these two people's lives."

"Prodigal woman…" Han Xiao muttered in a low voice, "If we kept one alive, we might be able to squeeze out a lot of information."

When Iso's safety was involved, Ames had never been reasonable, and she didn't even want the Soul Transfer Twins to breathe for another second.

At this time, Hela narrowed her eyes, suddenly raised her hand and grabbed, and two gray mists rose from the heads of the Soul Transfer Twins and disappeared into the Underworld Mark on the back of her hand.

"I've kept their souls. I'll report to you after I get the results of the interrogation."

"You're still reliable." Hearing this, Han Xiao couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

"Then what do we do with this thing?" Fording pulled his arm out of the mirror of the Soul Transfer Instrument with force.

"Since you can use it, then you can keep it for now. I'll study it carefully later."

Han Xiao didn't care. He basically trusted Fording one hundred percent, and it was fine for Fording to keep the Soul Transfer Instrument for the time being. At this time, he was in a good mood and didn't care about these details.

"The harvest of this trip is too great. Not only did I take away a Cosmic Treasure, but I also got an unexpected surprise from Old Manison…"

Han Xiao was secretly happy.

On the other hand, Manison was the complete opposite. The affiliated forces left in the Shattered Star Ring were almost completely exposed, and in the end, he failed to obtain the Soul Transfer Instrument, and even lost a lot of his trump cards. He was about to lose his pants.

"Without Manison's generous contribution, I wouldn't be where I am today… This is the spirit of passing on the torch!"

Han Xiao was in awe.

…

At the same time, the Mechanical Country's secret base.

"Bastard! I will never let you go!"

Manison's hair stood on end, and he slapped the table in front of him to pieces.

He considered himself a refined and easy-going person who generally didn't curse… unless he couldn't help it.

The premise of being calm was that the losses had not reached the point where he felt pain. In the past, no matter how many mechanical legions he lost, he could face them calmly, because he could have as many mechanical troops as he wanted, and that little loss was just a drop in the bucket.

But today, he was really hurt.

He wasn't angry because he didn't feel enough pain, but now that he felt pain, he was naturally furious.

Thinking of the two Criminals falling into the hands of the enemy, Manison's heart was bleeding, even more painful than when he lost the core of the Virtual Mutiny Virus.

This was his trump card at the bottom of the box. He had originally planned to give Black Star an unforgettable lesson today, but he didn't expect to be taken away by Black Star!

Until now, Manison still didn't understand how Han Xiao did it, and he was both shocked and angry.

Moreover, after spending so many resources, he didn't even see the shadow of the Soul Transfer Instrument. He had never made such a loss-making deal, and he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

After so many years of self-cultivation, he rarely had intense emotional fluctuations, but since he met Black Star more than a decade ago, he had lost all his composure.

"Black Star! Ah!"

Manison's angry shouts continued to echo in the room.

(Thank you, Qing Ningzi, for the one million silver alliance, Brother is generous! I was thinking about taking a few days off to adjust my schedule, but when I saw the reward, I was screwed. I couldn't sleep and quickly got up to code. Thank you for your love, I'm really ashamed|˛˙꒳˙)♡)
