Old days in the box

Chapter 236 Zhou Xiao has followed you!
  "Good guy, are you leaving it all there to cultivate cybernetic immortality?"

Zhou Xiao looked at the high-concept pictures in "More Information" that looked like abstract camouflage paintings and couldn't help but laugh.

MOSS, the combat power unexpectedly awakened from the planetary engine, is better than the chosen one.

If it continues with this momentum, it is really difficult to predict how it will evolve in the future, and it may give you a cyber ascension at any time.

Omnic Crisis, you really don’t deceive me!
  Zhou Xiao turned off more information, dragged the camera and continued to look towards the Eastern Continent.

On the land that was hollowed out and rebuilt into machines, huge arc areas were divided from the surface and connected to each other through energy pipelines.

These areas are all managed by different MOSS personalities. Some have achieved brilliant results, while others are still at the level of drawing up plans and have not yet started construction.

The legions of faceless men created by "Mercy" have been mass-produced and quickly gathered in large numbers on the launch pad, waiting to go to the borders of the Byzantine Empire to participate in the resistance war.

These faceless men are similar in size to humans, and their entire bodies are covered with smooth pseudo-Adelman metal. They look like silver-white mechanical sentinels. There are no common cameras or sensors on their faces, but instead they display the faceless symbol of the Son of the Old One. Deity pattern.

They all have the ability to fully mimic and can transform into the appearance of any person or thing through liquid metal, while simulating their voices.

Once deployed on a large scale on the battlefield, it can easily penetrate into the enemy's middle and rear areas and carry out reverse assassination and purge operations.

Since the material itself is Adamantium metal, they can also maintain extremely strong defense and movement capabilities. Thanks to Cybertron technology, they can even fuse with each other to become a more powerful fighter when necessary. Powerful individual.

It can be said that this legion of faceless men was designed entirely to infiltrate and assassinate on the battlefield.

This kind of thinking that does not consider facing the enemy head-on and only designs from the perspective of killing efficiency... is indeed very "compassionate"!
  On the other side, the Necromancer Laboratory led by "War" has been completely constructed, like cold mechanical pyramids standing on the Eastern Continent.

After he obtained a drop of blood from Tyin's hand, he immediately launched various radical undead experiments, trying to create mechanical undead that could be combined with organic transformation and create living metal.

Inside these cold mechanical pyramids, thousands of half-dead skull faces are hung on the walls, and the heads are assembled through countless wires and gear structures to form a spectacular high skeleton wall.

In order to get through this technical key, "War" even tried to decipher the Frozen Throne miracle next to the Eastern Continent, and indeed learned a lot of black magic from Nagash, the Warhammer Lord of the Undead.

Apart from these two, the plans of "Justice" and "Loyalty" obviously did not go so smoothly.

Only a base has been built for the Divine Elevator that is intended to go directly from the atrium to Asgard, and there is still a lot of information about the Rainbow Bridge that has not yet been completed.

And after testing, it was found that the current atrium is shrouded in a powerful conceptual power, which is difficult to break through from the inside or outside.

That was a blockade set by the God of Door Keys. Except for the Rainbow Bridge and the Soul Channel of the Kingdom of Death, in principle, no power could enter or leave the atrium at will.

"Justice" is taking over the Death Star and slowly transforming it from the inside step by step.

His plan is the most ambitious among the original four. He wants to reproduce the jet port technology of the planetary engine in the Death Star, transform the entire Death Star into his ideal Sword of Damocles, and fly up to the atrium. Hover at a suitable height.

Such a huge project has almost caught up with the original plan of "comprehensive mechanization of the Eastern Continent".

When the mechanization of the Eastern Continent is completely completed, his "Death Star of Justice" will probably be almost completed.

After Zhou Xiao confirmed all the plans rolled out by these four MOSSs, he had a rough idea of ​​the current combat power of the mechanical side.

Just when he was about to move the camera and look at the two divinely chosen champions on the other side of the sea, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou. The organizer has moved the auction ahead of time. They really hope to meet you now. What do you think?"

The smart doorbell function is automatically turned on, and Mavis's voice is transmitted from outside the door into the room, so that Zhou Xiao can hear it clearly in the living room.

so suddenly?

Zhou Xiao hesitated for a moment, but the situation outside the window was calm. The digital personalities of MOSS were arranging the work of the drone group in an orderly manner. It seemed that there was no need for him to keep a close eye on them all the time.

So he stood up, put away his black key card, and walked towards the door.

After the door opened, an apologetic Mabius was standing at the door, smiling and explaining to Zhou Xiao: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhou, but I have to disturb you again not long after you have just settled in..."

"It's okay. Your major shareholder and organizer has spent so much effort, money and detours to come and pick me up. It would be hard for you to explain if I don't show up."

Zhou Xiao nodded to express understanding and closed the door behind him.

The penthouse suites on Quantum of the Seas are all equipped with the latest smart electronic locks. Once closed, they will automatically enter alert mode and connect to the security room on the ship, which can be said to be airtight.

"It's great that you understand. Then we..."

Mabis breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Zhou Xiao's forgiveness. Just as he raised his head to look at him, his face suddenly froze slightly, and he rarely interrupted his speech.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiao was confused.

On his face, the pupils that should have been black for an Oriental now gave off a faint golden light, flowing slowly in the dim night.

Zhou Xiao instantly realized that he had lost his composure, and turned his face with subtle movements to calm the light in his pupils.

Although his pupils often glowed with golden light before, this was the result of a temporary surge in divine power. Moreover, this situation had always been under control and had never been revealed to outsiders. How could it happen this time? Suddenly?
  "Nothing...the auction site is over here, please come with me."

Mabis watched helplessly as Zhou Xiao turned his head, and the two golden lights disappeared immediately. He couldn't help but wonder if he was hallucinating due to overwork.

He took Zhou Xiao off the top floor again and walked to the elevator to the 7th floor where the auction house was located. The cruise ship elevator is translucent. As they went down, they saw bars, Broadway, shopping streets and even gambling halls. When the cruise ship entered the high seas, these gaming tables were not illegal.

The elevator soon stopped on the 7th floor, and Mabis led Zhou Xiao into it, directly arriving at a dimly lit art corridor. Open in the middle of this corridor was the entrance to the main venue of the cruise ship auction.

"Mr. Zhou, the auctions on our ship are held from time to time. As long as we get something good during the entire voyage, we will hold it at any time. If you are interested, you can come and see if there is anything you like!"

Mabis opened the way for Zhou Xiao in front and led him quickly into the main venue.

The main auction venue is indeed organized by Sotheby's, and the interior decoration is really grand, like some theater where stage plays are performed.

Not only are there many seats on the ground floor, but there are also open-air VIP stands extending out on the second floor, where the truly powerful buyers sit.

"Several representatives, this is the mysterious seller who holds the red alkaline stone, Mr. Zhou Xiao from Jinghai City." Mabis led him to several Japanese representatives, "Mr. Zhou, they are Representative of Mitsubishi Modeling..."

Mabis introduced him to these representatives of Mitsubishi Modeling one by one, and named several difficult-to-pronounce Japanese names in succession.

But Zhou Xiao could tell at a glance that these people were not senior executives in Mitsubishi Modeling, let alone the major shareholders of the ship, so he had no interest in them and only shook hands symbolically to show courtesy.

Although these people were all wearing expensive suits, the shoulder collars and corners did not fit properly, indicating that they were not the real owners of these custom-made suits. In addition, their watches were made of low-quality gold plating, and the cuffs of their collars did not fit properly. There is also a ledger full of handwriting.

All the details showed that they were only temporarily brought here to act as showmen, and the real representatives of major shareholders did not appear.

Ever since the divine power was added, Zhou Xiao's sensitivity had already surpassed that of ordinary people. All these inconspicuous details appeared in front of him the moment he shook hands, and there was nowhere to hide.

"In addition to them, there are actually two Mr. Murata and Mr. Murasawa. They are the real major shareholders of Mitsubishi Modeling. I saw them here just now. Maybe they just left because of something temporarily..."

Mabis obviously noticed Zhou Xiao's expression and immediately explained.

Murata and Murasawa are the organizers of the auction. They were the ones who asked to see Zhou Xiao just now. Why are their two bosses missing now that they are here?

But before they could go out to look for it, the lights at the venue had gradually dimmed, and the auction was about to begin.

Mabius had no other choice but to ask Zhou Xiao to take a seat first so as not to affect the normal operation of the auction, while he walked to the side in small steps and tried to find the two Japanese bosses.

The venue began to become noisy. The experienced host appeared from the stage with the first piece of art and vividly began to introduce the origin of this treasure. The guests also heard whispers from the audience.

Zhou Xiao was bored and turned to look into the venue.

At this moment, all the noise in the venue was faded away like background sound, leaving only one voice echoing in his ears.

"Zhou...Xiao..."

As his name was spoken from someone else's mouth, his senses instantly followed the voice through the venue, passing through the corridor, entering the elevator, and reaching the captain's room on the top floor like a divine vision. He heard what was inside dialogue.

Although the captain's cabin and the auction site cannot be said to be thousands of miles apart, one is upstairs and the other is downstairs. There are several decks in between, including extremely noisy dance halls, bars, shops and pedestrian streets. Xiao was able to accurately capture the position of this sentence in an instant, which was simply incredible.

From this moment on, he had the ability to know everything he chanted.

Within the coverage of this planet, as long as someone says his name, no matter how far away he is, his attention will be instantly attracted and he will travel through space to locate the location where the name is spoken.

When did you acquire this ability? Is it caused by the high concentration of authority?

Zhou Xiao didn't have time to think too much. Divine Vision immediately entered the captain's room and heard the conversation between the two people who said their names.

"The man named Zhou Xiao has been invited to the main venue by Mabis. It's time for us to take action."

"Where's the security on the top floor?"

"Don't worry, they are all from our company, just transfer them."

"Then you go back quickly. I'm here to help you unlock the door on the top floor. Time is running out. We must confirm as soon as possible whether this Zhou Xiao is the person we are looking for!"

This conversation was clearly in Japanese, but strangely, Zhou Xiao could understand it completely.

His gaze also extended to the captain's cabin, and he saw clearly the two Japanese talking.

Based on their clothes, their easy access to the captain's cabin, and what others called them along the way, these two should be the major shareholders that Mabis mentioned, Murata and Murasawa modeled by Mitsubishi.

Strange, what are the two major shareholders of the modeling company doing? There's an auction that doesn't make any money, and you're staring at Zhou Xiao's room to steal something?
  From the conversation they just had, it seemed that the two big Japanese bosses had come up with a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. They wanted to take advantage of Zhou Xiao to leave the room and run into his room to steal something.

Could it be that they really thought of him as a mysterious seller from some big jewelry country, thinking that he came up to trade with a box full of gems, so they wanted to rob him?

"No, there is a box in my room!" Zhou Xiao suddenly realized that there was a mini case and a connected laptop in his room, and he immediately stood up from his seat.

He quickly left the auction site and walked through the corridor to the side of the cruise ship, with the rolling sea below.

Zhou Xiao jumped over the side of the ship and jumped into the sea.

The power of authority surged, and a terrifying current suddenly rose from the side of the ship. The owner who was holding it rushed to the top of the cruise ship in an instant, directly jumping over the elevator and returning to the floor where Zhou Xiao's room was.

He looked up at the same time. In his sight, one of the Japanese had walked into his room.
