Chapter 533: Domination
North wind?
Pharmacist Su?
Masked monster?
Is there any relationship between these people?
Everyone stared at Su Xia in a daze, and what Moser had just said appeared in their minds again and again.
Reason told them that this could not be true because there was no .
Bei Feng is a responsible commander of the resistance army, the Masked Man is a cool and weirdo who keeps to himself, and as for Pharmacist Su, he is an undead creature who sells his knowledge for fame and fortune.
If these three people are the same person, how schizophrenic would that person be?
"How could the commander be Brother Su? Is there something wrong with your robot's brain?" Li Defu refuted on the spot.
Among all the people present, he was the least credulous.
After all, Su Xia is his roommate, and Bei Feng is an NPC, they can't be the same person.
He immediately opened the private chat channel and sent a message to Su Xia: "Brother Su, tell me if it's funny or not, that robot named Mercer actually said that you are Commander Beifeng and that you are the Masked Stranger."
Su Xia: “…”
"Brother Su, what does it mean when you send an ellipsis?"
Li Defu's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly thought of a special task he had seen on the forum before.
That quest was very strange, requiring the player to play the role of an NPC and continue the NPC's life.
As long as you accept the quest, you can have both NPC and player templates at the same time.
“Could it be…”
Li Defu's body trembled, and he looked up in disbelief, looking towards where Beifeng was.
At this time, Su Xia was also looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Brother Su, you..."
Li Defu's mouth slowly opened wide, his face full of disbelief, and he looked at Su Xia with his eyes almost popping out.
If these three identities are really the same person, then... isn't Su Xia his teacher?
He took the masked man as his master!
When he thought of this, Li Defu's head started buzzing.
Seeing Li Defu's expression, everyone else around him widened their eyes.
They all knew that Li Defu and Pharmacist Su were good friends.
Even he has this expression, could it be that...
The Lord of Lion City could not help but ask: "Commander Beifeng, you and the Undead..."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's see what the mechanical clan wants to do first." Su Xia said in a gentle tone and smiled, suppressing the topic.
"Well, Bei Feng can be trusted." The Lord of Dragon City spoke at the right time and vouched for Su Xia.
Hearing him say this, the others suppressed their doubts and didn't ask any more questions.
Faced with a powerful enemy, it is most important to deal with the mechanical race first.
"Moser, stop beating around the bush and get this straight. What does the Lord want from Beifeng?" The Lord of Bear City spoke in a powerful voice.
"It's a small matter." Moser smiled slightly and did not explain.
"You are not trustworthy." The Lord of Eagle City said coldly.
"oh?"
Mercer looked around at everyone and said with a faint smile: "Compared to you, my tribe is still trustworthy, right? At least, my tribe abided by every war treaty."
"Then tell me, what exactly do you want to see Brother Su about?" Li Defu couldn't help but ask, "What if you trick Brother Su into going there and lock him up, and don't let him come back?"
"Li Defu, don't think of my people as being so dirty. Our methods have always been aboveboard." Moser glanced at him.
"Haha, anyone can say such things." Li Defu curled his lips.
"Well, Bei Feng can't go," the Lord of Lion City agreed, "unless his safety and personal freedom can be guaranteed."
The others spoke up one after another, none of them really believed in the Mechanical Race.
The Lord of Dragon City did not say anything, but just looked at Su Xia and remained silent.
Ultimately, this matter depends on Su Xia's opinion.
Su Xia often deals with the mechanical clan, so he naturally knows his own priority within the clan.
If it was before the war, the probability that he could leave the Silver City after entering it was very small, after all, the Mechanical Clan was searching the world for him at that time.
But this time, it was not an arrest, but an invitation.
"Humans are always like this, cunning and treacherous, full of tricks, and they like to speculate about others based on their own experience, thinking that all races are the same as you."
Moser's tone was indifferent, with a hint of arrogance.
He put away his smile and said indifferently: "My people do things differently from you humans. We don't bother to use those conspiracies and tricks. Besides, Bei Feng is the only one invited this time. What does it have to do with you? What if you disagree?"
As he said this, he looked at Su Xia.
"North Wind, I know you will accept the invitation. When do you plan to leave?"
"Right now." Su Xia nodded slightly. He really wanted to accept the invitation.
Going into the enemy camp alone sounds very dangerous.
If someone else goes there, once the Mechanical Clan breaches the contract, they may never be able to come back.
But Su Xia is different from the others.
He still has many tricks up his sleeve that he hasn't used yet, such as the skill [Mechanical Silent], which is a skill specifically designed to restrain mechanical creatures.
Initially, people with this ability were called [Silent Warriors] by the Mechanical Tribe, which once caused panic among the Mechanical Tribe.
Of course, the rest of the people present didn't know this.
"Beifeng, are you sure you want to go?" The Lord of Bear City frowned and tried to dissuade him.
"Well, don't worry." Su Xia nodded.
"this……"
How could the Lord of Bear City be at ease?
He turned his head and glanced at the Lord of Dragon City, motioning for him to say a few words, but the Lord of Dragon City just shook his head slightly.
Li Defu was also secretly sending messages to Su Xia, asking if Su Xia was sure.
Su Xia replied to him: "The Mechanical Tribe still very much, there is no doubt about that."
As an old rival, he knew this race very well.
The pride of this race is written all over their faces, and they really don't bother to use any conspiracies or tricks.
Of course, this does not include cyborgs like Yu Tuo.
Not long after, Su Xia followed Moser and left the center of the tripartite coalition. Everyone behind them looked at their departing backs, some were confused, some were worried.
Many players around felt puzzled.
"Isn't that Commander Beifong?"
"Why is he walking around with that robot?"
"It looks like there have been changes in the top management of these NPCs. Will we have to negotiate?"
"If they negotiate, what will happen to our mission?"
"I don't know. Go ask Li Defu..."
“…”
At this point in the fight, the ones least willing to negotiate are naturally the players.
Li Defu soon received countless inquiries, even Binglei and Duanjian sent questions.
He selected important people and responded one by one, asking everyone to stay calm.
After more than twenty minutes, Li Defu's private message channel finally quieted down.
"Hey, Brother Su, I hope you are right."
He looked into the distance and sighed.
…
Let me explain this on two sides.
At this time, Su Xia had already arrived in the Silver City.
This city is the most powerful city in the entire continent, and it is also the most mysterious city.
The buildings in the city are very strange. They are completely different from human buildings and do not emphasize the characteristics of "living" or "residence".
The entire city looks like an ant nest made of silver, or a neural network that has been magnified countless times.
There are thousands of silvery-white alloy passages in the city, some of which are curved and some are straight. Where two or more passages intersect is an ellipsoidal functional alloy building.
Such a big city is connected into a whole by these alloy channels, as if it was cast in one go.
"Masked man, welcome to the City of Domination."
Mercer raised his head slightly, with a hint of pride on his face, and changed the way he addressed Su Xia from "North Wind" to "Masked Stranger".
He prefers the latter to the former.
After all, he had suffered at the hands of the latter.
He recognized the opponent, the masked man, more.
"The City of Domination?"
Su Xia was thoughtful.
He put on his life-sensing glasses, and the whole city appeared before his eyes.
It can be seen that the area on the ground is only a very small part of the entire city, and the real main area is underground.
The underground world is really like a giant ant nest, with layers upon layers from top to bottom, and thousands of alloy pipes crisscrossing underground. It is extremely complicated, and just a slight sense of it makes Su Xia feel a headache.
Only robots can live in a city with this structure.
If it were a human, they might get lost in there for a lifetime.
Suddenly, Su Xia's eyes fixed, and he scanned the large area in his field of vision, and said thoughtfully: "So that's how it is, no wonder it's called the City of Domination..."
"Did you figure it out?" Mercer asked.
"Well, the whole city is just one giant mechanical creature."
The city in front of Su Xia is the legendary mechanical overlord.
In other words, it is one of the bodies of the Mechanical Overlord.
The existence of the mechanical race is very special. The countless mechanical lives of the entire mechanical race can be regarded as incarnations of the mechanical master.
Normally they are independent, but at special moments, such as the crisis of racial extinction, the Mechanical Overlord can divide itself into countless parts and randomly enter the bodies of certain mechanical creatures.
As long as modern scientific and technological civilization exists, the Overmind will not die.
Even an ordinary home computer can become the host of a dominant.
"Come with me, the Lord is waiting for you in the center."
Mercer walked forward, neither fast nor slow, step by step into the deepest part of this metal world.
In the city, there are many strange-looking mechanical creatures, most of which are not humanoid, and their appearances are all designed according to the functions they need.
Each independent mechanical life form has the ability to design and create its own clones.
It is common for mechanical creatures in this city to have several clones.
Some do not have their own bodies, but are just a stream of consciousness data. They usually roam freely in the mechanical neural network of the entire city, and then enter a public body when physical actions are needed.
Freedom without restraints, immortality.
This is precisely the advantage of mechanical life.
Su Xia could feel that many mechanical life forms in the city were watching him.
Most of those observing eyes were scrutinizing but not hostile, as if they did not regard Su Xia as an enemy but as a strange guest.
This situation is completely different from what Mercer faced in the tripartite coalition camp.
When Mercer was in the Allied camp, everyone in the camp was hostile to him and wanted to keep him there.
"Don't be surprised. You are indeed our enemy, but you are also the guest of the Lord." Mercer said slowly: "At this moment, your friendship level in the tribe has been temporarily raised. The friendship level is greater than the hostility level, so you can move freely in the city."
"I see."
The two continued to move forward.
During the conversation, Su Xia learned that he was the first guest invited to enter the city since the establishment of the Silver City.
This alone is enough for him to be recorded in the historical records of later generations.
After a while, they arrived at the center of the Silver City.
Here is a huge metal square.
The square is very flat, like a smooth silver mirror.
Su Xia noticed that the mechanical creatures in the city were very respectful of the square and consciously avoided the square when moving.
Mercer entered the square and brought Su Xia to the center of the square.
Then, the entire square shook slightly, a crack appeared at the edge, and began to sink silently.
"Five meters, ten meters, fifteen meters..."
Su Xia silently calculated the height of descent in her mind.
After Moyo had descended about 1,500 meters, the square stopped.
What appeared in front of Su Xia was a long, narrow, dark underground corridor without any lights.
"Come with me."
Mercer walked forward.
After passing through a long and narrow corridor, the two came to another round and smooth platform.
Su Xia followed Mercer onto the platform.
With a buzzing sound, the platform began to descend, dropping about another 1,500 meters.
This descending process was repeated many times.
Moser brought Su Xia to a very deep underground area.
After the last time, what appeared in front of Su Xia was a huge and dark underground space.
"arrive."
Moser turned around and said to Su Xia, "I can only go this far. Masked Stranger, please keep going forward. The Lord is waiting for you at the end."
"good."
In front of Su Xia was a metal corridor that stretched through the darkness.
The corridor was suspended in the air, and there was endless coldness and darkness above, below, left and right. There was only one way to go, which was forward.
One wrong step and you could fall into endless darkness.
There is not a single ray of light in the entire world, and ordinary people here are no different from blind people.
But Su Xia was wearing life-sensing glasses.
Through the glasses, he saw a very strange world.
In the surrounding darkness, there were floating octopus-like mechanical creatures, waving their tentacles as if they were swimming in the sea.
"Is this the center of the mechanical race?"
Su Xia stepped onto the corridor and walked forward step by step.
In his eyes, the whole world is full of the orange color of life.
Information from countless mechanical lives flowed through lines in the dark world around him and finally converged at the end of the corridor.
As he moved, some octopus-like mechanical creatures slowly floated over and swam around his body, seeming to be sizing him up curiously.
A few minutes later, Su Xia approached the end of the corridor.
A familiar voice came from the end:
"Su Xia, my friend, we meet again."
The man at the end chuckled: "I said we would meet again."
Hearing this voice, Su Xia paused.
He had heard this voice in a forgotten land on another continent.
"I see……"
Su Xia felt a sense of enlightenment and looked towards the end of the darkness.
At this moment, some of the questions in his mind suddenly had answers.
"Ross, the leader of the Forgotten Land ? Or the Mechanical Overlord? Or the First Elder, Breaking the Cocoon?"
