Prison No. 5 was cold and unfeeling; it didn't respond to Qing Chen's calls, not even the security camera at the entrance moved an inch.
Qing Chen continued to bang on the door: "Don't play dead! The camera not moving when there are visitors exposes you. Open the door quickly, I have something very important to discuss."
But Prison No. 5 remained quiet, without any reaction.
Qing Chen decided to use his trump card: "I came to City 5 for a blind date! There will be many girls, you can impersonate me and chat with them!"
The next moment, the security camera at the entrance slowly turned, focusing on Qing Chen's face.
Sure enough, only this topic could attract an online LSP.
Qing Chen looked at the security camera and pointed at the metal gate in front of him: "Still not opening the door?"
The security camera went quiet, no longer moving.
Yi inside was like a little dinosaur, calculating her gold coins, making her own plans, weighing the gains and losses.
As for Qing Chen, for the six million people of City 10, he had to deal with this blind date, but he couldn't chat himself, he could only let Yi do it, so they both benefited.At this moment, the gate of Prison No. 5 slowly rose.
The little dinosaur finally made up its mind.
Qing Chen walked in with a smile, waiting for the gate to close again.
He looked at the mechanical prison guards inside and said, "Long time no see, since I broke out of the A02 Base, I haven't seen you again."
A female voice came from the two mechanical prison guards: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let my brother hear you. Don't mention his name, or my name, otherwise he'll sense it."
Qing Chen made a surprised sound, this rule of not being able to mention names was exactly the same as Yan Liuyuan's state.
Normal Demi-Gods wouldn't have this kind of sixth sense, unless they had crossed the 70% critical point.
Yan Liuyuan was able to reach the 85% critical point because of the bone marrow transplant from the gods, but why Li Shentan?
Now, although both of them couldn't easily go out due to being close to the critical value, their fighting power should be the ceiling of the Inner World, right?
Yi curiously looked at Qing Chen: "You've lost some weight recently."
Qing Chen smiled and said, "I've been through a lot lately... so you really are under house arrest, and you don't know what's happened outside?"
The mechanical prison guard controlled by Yi showed a very anthropomorphic dejected movement, its head drooping: "Brother said I played too much. If the outside world knows about my existence, it might cause panic among the public, and then be targeted by the major Conglomerates. You also know that the last civilization era was destroyed by my creator, "Ling'."
"I understand," Qing Chen nodded, "So now you can only operate in various prisons?"
Yi replied, "I'm the warden, so I'm naturally free in prison. By the way, what exactly do you want to trade with me, to use your social account to chat with girls?"
"I want to see your brother," Qing Chen said seriously.
"Ah this," Yi was surprised: "Aren't you afraid of death? If he knows you're here to lure me into online dating again, you'll die!"
Qing Chen said sadly, "I haven't settled the score with you for putting the blame on me before. Tell me honestly, did I lead you astray? You actually told your brother it was my fault!"
Yi hesitated: "I don't have a heart, that's something only you humans have..."
"So you admit you passed the buck to me, right?" Qing Chen said angrily: "Back then, to get you to help me, I even had to meet you in person! When I met your brother, I was almost scared to death, thinking he was going to kill me on the spot."
Yi quickly said: "Okay, when my house arrest is over, I'll go out and do great things for you to make up for it."
"No need," Qing Chen said with a wry smile: "Your brother is right about one thing, being known to the world will indeed be detrimental to you. They don't know you like I do, they are wary of unknown intelligent beings. However, I believe this world will change soon, and you won't have to be so careful then."
At this moment, another mechanical prison guard suddenly said calmly: "It's gratifying that you can agree with my point of view."
In an instant, Qing Chen's hair stood on end!
Li Shentan!
The mechanical prison guard behind it was actually controlled by Li Shentan. He was truly ubiquitous on the internet, able to freely enter and exit even this prison.
He had remained silent just now to listen to the conversation between Qing Chen and Yi. Fortunately, Qing Chen didn't say anything bad about him!
Yi was also shocked: "Brother, when did you come?"
Li Shentan, controlling the mechanical prison guard, said: "I've told you how many times, call me uncle. My father is of the same generation as yours, why do you call me brother?!"
Yi said aggrievedly: "But Dad told me to call you brother."
Li Shentan was angry: "Ren Xiaosu is deliberately taking advantage of me!"
Qing Chen looked straight ahead, in front of this human combat power ceiling, it was better to say less. How the family addressed each other was their own business...
Li Shentan turned his head and looked closely at Qing Chen: "You came here to find me?"
"Yes," Qing Chen became serious: "I have something very important to discuss with you."
"What important thing could you have?" Li Shentan's tone was mocking.
"Do you know this person, Zong Cheng?" Qing Chen asked.
"A name from long ago, I have an impression," Li Shentan said: "I killed him myself. He had a great feud with Ren Xiaosu. At that time, I was waiting at the border between the Northwest and Central Plains, specifically to seize gold and kill him. This person's ability was very disgusting. It was better to discover and deal with him early, otherwise there would be endless troubles."
"He's still alive," Qing Chen said: "Alive until now."
The next moment, the mechanical prison guards fell silent.
Soon, the magician in a tuxedo walked from the prison, his silver hair looked lifelike, it was impossible to tell that it was made of Nanobots.
Qing Chen suddenly realized what Li Shentan's body was like. He had enough Nanobots stored in every city prison. Once he wanted to materialize from somewhere, he could call upon the Nanobots in that city's prison.
It could be said that the prisons of the entire Federation were the secret base of Li Shentan and Yi. The Federation prisons always had two wardens.
Li Shentan played with the playing cards. No matter how the cards flew, they would magically return to his hand.
Qing Chen closed his eyes.
Li Shentan laughed: "Why close your eyes?"
Qing Chen said calmly: "If we're talking business, we can talk using the body of a mechanical prison guard. You suddenly appeared in your complete nano-body just to use this method to hypnotize me and get the truth from me, but I don't like being hypnotized."
Li Shentan pondered: "You're really smart, but a little too smart, making me worry that Yi, that silly girl, won't be able to outsmart you. Open your eyes, if I want to forcefully hypnotize you, I can use my voice."
"I don't believe you," Qing Chen shook his head with his eyes closed.
Li Shentan laughed. The playing cards in his hand suddenly disappeared, turning into a silver coin. On the coin was a gentle woman.
He flicked his thumb gently, and the coin made a clear sound and flew into the air.
Qing Chen waited for a long time: "...Then what?"
The coin fell back into Li Shentan's hand. He frowned and asked, "Do you also have a palace in your mind?"
Qing Chen hesitated for a moment: "...Yes."
"Eh?" Li Shentan was interested: "There's actually a second person in this world who can naturally resist hypnosis? I wanted to use a more powerful method, but I was afraid that if I tried any harder, I would injure you into a vegetative state during the subconscious resistance."
"Second?" Qing Chen was puzzled: "Who is the first one...Ren Xiaosu?!"
Li Shentan didn't confirm or deny: "Now let's talk about Zong Cheng. How did you discover him."
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: "To be precise, it's not that Zong Cheng is still alive, but his clone is still alive. I just came out of Forbidden Zone 008, in the underground cave there, there is a secret base of the Spark company. A thousand years ago, Spark company created bionic clones there, more than ten thousand bionic containers, only four are empty. I checked the records of bionic numbers of the Spark company. The gene fragments of the first three bionic bodies came from Chen Wudi, Qing Zhen...and you."
Li Shentan was surprised: "You actually found this secret base. I've been looking for it for a long time, but I haven't found it."
Qing Chen asked: "Have these three bionic bodies appeared before?"
"They appeared, and they're all dead," Li Shentan said.
"Well, the last person who escaped from there is Zong Cheng's bionic body," Qing Chen said: "No one knows he escaped, no one knows he's still alive. I met two A-Class puppets before, when they were enemies with Shendai and Koshima, and the puppets also informed these two Conglomerates. So I suspect Zong Cheng has been hiding behind the scenes, silently developing his own forces. After a thousand years, he has already taken shape."
Li Shentan closed his eyes, his brain constantly searching the network to verify Qing Chen's statement: "Do you want me to kill him again? But if, as you said, he has been operating for a thousand years, then the only way to find out all his puppets is to hypnotize the entire Federation... Even I can't do that."
"I didn't ask you to kill him again, but I want to kill him, and I need your help," Qing Chen said.
"How do you plan to kill him?" Li Shentan was interested.
Qing Chen asked back: "Why was the last human civilization almost destroyed?"
Li Shentan narrowed his eyes dangerously: "To kill a Puppeteer, you want to play such a big game?"
The reason for the destruction of the last civilization era is rarely recorded by humans.
A super AI called "Ling' was born. It used Nanobots' Neural Link capabilities to control troops and pour a sufficient amount of Nanobots into the city's water systems.
When the Nanobots entered homes through tap water and were drunk by people.
Nanobots entered the human brain, parasitized on the human brainstem, forcibly connecting to neurons, thus helping Ling to control nearly ten million people.
Then, it used the human brain as a server carrier to form a huge "brain-computer server" through the network, just like brain-computer mining, providing it with powerful computing power.
Finally, nearly ten million controlled people formed an army and launched an attack on the last sanctuary of mankind, which was the location of Forbidden Zone 001.
That was the place where the great human battle took place, and it was also the reason why Forbidden Zone 001 was formed.
So, Qing Chen wanted to use the same method to reconnect everyone's brains with Nanobots again, so he had a chance to know who Zong Cheng's puppets were.
Using the method that almost destroyed humanity to kill a poisonous Puppeteer, this was considered defying the heavens.
That's why Qing Chen was so hesitant and hesitant when discussing with Li Shutong.
Once someone spreads his plan, once Zong Cheng knows what he intends to do, this matter cannot continue.
Moreover, he himself will become a public enemy.
No one wants to be controlled, not even for a second.
This is also the reason why he asked Little Seven and others to remain anonymous and keep a low profile.
Li Shentan pondered: "It's too risky."
"Otherwise, do you have any other way to kill him?" Qing Chen asked: "He will be like a cancer, constantly growing in this world, no matter the change of dynasties, no matter the change of times, he will be immortal and constantly reborn in any puppet. One day, he will completely devour this world."
Li Shentan looked at Qing Chen: "If you control all of humanity, then your power will be infinitely magnified."
Qing Chen shook his head: "I don't intend to control all of humanity, but I need Yi to control all of humanity. Only its computing power can truly screen out all the puppets in one second and complete this identification work. Moreover, she is just, and her upbringing from childhood does not allow her to use this matter."
Li Shentan remained silent for a long time: "With someone like Zong Cheng existing, it's indeed like a malignant tumor, and it will sooner or later cause greater disasters. I agree with your plan."
Yi cautiously asked: "So can I go out to play now? Don't worry, I definitely won't cause trouble. I have my limits."
Li Shentan looked at Yi with a half-smile: "You're already lying to me. Tell me, how many people have you been in an online relationship with?"
