Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 105 Preparations
".Someone quit?"

Twinkle Star asked as he leaned against the wall, extended his index finger and slid it across the image projected directly onto the retina of his artificial eye, playing an unknown clicking game.

"Ah."

Alnan nodded slightly, his expression unchanged: "I understand."

"The risk of this operation is too high. Not everyone is willing to risk their life."

"Hehe, I understand."

Shanxing snorted coldly and poked another 'golden star' casually. The points on the screen instantly increased by one thousand: "It's better to fight for yourself now than to die inexplicably in the hands of the company in the future. This time, the target of the 'Three-phase Base Plan' is unaware, but in other plans planned by the company in the future, the unaware people may be them."

"Don't say such things."

Alnan shook his head and said seriously, "Do you want us to force them to go to the battlefield in the name of 'ideals'? Then what is the difference between us and Emerald Pharmaceuticals?"

"Don't hate your companions because of this." The man's tone was gentle, but with a hint of warning: "Don't look down on them because of this. It's great that some people are willing to sacrifice their lives, but it doesn't mean that the rest of you are cowards."

"Okay, okay—"

I accidentally clicked on a 'bomb' and the screen exploded into a sky full of pixel blocks, and all points were reset to zero.

Shanxing turned off the game, straightened her back, and separated herself from the wall. She sighed, "I was just complaining casually. There's no need to say all this."

"You've been complaining like this since Cornelia was here."

As he spoke, Arnan coughed a few times, then smiled and said softly, "Palosene, you are at the top of the list of threats to the Enlightened Ones drawn up by Emerald Pharmaceuticals. The so-called commander can be replaced, but your importance is irreplaceable, so I said this."

When he heard the name "Cornelia", Shanxing couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.

“It’s been a year.”

She murmured, but quickly adjusted her mood and spread her hands: "Now that you say so, what else can I do except accept this good intention?"

"By the way, where is Nan Dou Song Shi?"

"He said that before Operation Moth can officially begin, we need to complete the "Soldier Refining into the Body" process."

Arnan paused, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be some kind of engineering to turn weapons into spiritual energy?"

"——Finally done."

Song Shi slowly opened his eyes.

The place he was in at the moment was not the bedroom or the bathroom.

You can see cables tied into bundles hanging from the ceiling, robotic arms, CNC punching machines, 3D printers. There are all kinds of equipment here. On the other side, in a small room separated by high-strength plywood, there is a strong smell of disinfectant, an integrated implant surgery table, and a table next to it is full of parts and bottles.

As a mechanic, engineer and cyborg for the Palose Enlightened, this is Tabitha's workshop.

When Song Shi's voice was heard, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the workshop.

"Song Shi! Are you done? Quick! Let me see!"

When the door opened, Tabitha looked excited and circled around the person in front of her. Under the latter's subtle gaze, she finally calmed down a little.

Song Shi stretched out his right hand, and a red-gold flame emerged silently.

And then, just like the boiling iron slurry gradually solidified, the flames took on a specific outline - it was the fine single-molecule knife [Steel Crow].

"This is 'refining weapons into the body'. Of course, you can also call it 'the spiritualization of weapons', 'controlling weapons with one breath', 'alchemical reconstruction', etc., but they are all the same concept."

“Shit, shit, what’s the principle behind this free transformation of matter and energy?” Tabitha cursed with her eyes wide open, looking at Steel Crow carefully.

"Through the forging properties of the 'Forging Flame', the Steel Crow was impregnated and recast, giving it certain 'psychic weapon' properties." Song Shi answered without hesitation, pointing around: "The Second Ring wants to do this, which is actually very troublesome, so I recast it in your workshop."

"Because to some extent, your machine shop is the modern 'blacksmith shop', 'forge', and 'hammering felt'. I need to use certain environmental resonances to increase the success rate. Speaking of which, I'm lucky. I succeeded in recasting it on the third try."

Then, Tabitha uttered a few words: "This is the principle?"

".Did I not explain it clearly enough?"

Song Shi was a little puzzled. He glanced at the other party and nodded, saying, "It's okay. I'll tell you again. 'Forging Flame' represents forging."

Tabitha was silent for a moment.

She grabbed her hair tightly, sounding quite annoyed, and gritted her teeth as she said, "OK, no need to explain anymore. I totally understand!"

Song Shi flipped his right hand, and the steel crow turned into flames again, then dispersed into flaming stars and poured into his body.

"That's good, we can start pretending now."

——There is still one week left until the official start of [Codename: Operation Moth].

Using the "trial" of Cland as a deterrent, and taking advantage of the fact that the impact of this deterrent has not yet completely dissipated, in the past half month, Arnan has ordered the entire Palose Enlightened to go into a state of full concealment. Almost everyone thought that they would continue to disappear for a long time.

Even the very few members who knew the inside story, except for the first action team, only knew that there would be a "big move" next and that a list of action lists was being collected.

Everyone is preparing.

Alnan began to secretly withdraw most of the funds, while analyzing various data and intelligence day and night, formulating tactical strategies, and polishing and considering specific details.

Tabitha was responsible for maintaining and modifying a batch of equipment from [Southern Region Heavy Industry] - this was also what Song Shicai knew.

Five years ago, in order to compete for the right to develop mineral veins in the suburbs, [Southern Heavy Industry] and [Time Pass] launched a local small-scale company war with Palose as the battlefield.

In the past in Thousand Star City, Tom had listed this "corporate war" along with the "big explosion in the old industrial area" and "the severe damage to the Enlightened Ones" as the three major events in Palose in recent years.

When this "corporate war" broke out, the previous commander of the Enlightened Ones, the one before "Cornelia Camber", led his men to fish in troubled waters and personally hijacked a batch of support equipment belonging to [Southern Heavy Industry].

After being used continuously for several years, most of this batch of equipment has been consumed. Alnan decided to activate all the remaining parts to serve "Operation Moth".

——As for myself.

After being promoted to the second ring for so long, with the efforts of daily practice, the upper limit of "Fire Seed" has finally increased by one, and the number of fire seeds held at the same time has increased from six to seven. In addition, he has just completed "Weapon Refining into the Body", which will facilitate future infiltration operations to hold the Steel Crow and avoid the weapons review of the Institute.

But the preparations for the infiltration obviously don't stop there.

Next, it’s Tabitha’s part.

She will undergo surgery to implant certain implants into herself, the only effects of which are to "make herself look like an ordinary cyborg" and to cope with "various internal reviews of the institute."

"Why don't you just use your fire to make yourself some implants."

Tabitha muttered and sighed deeply.

"Come on. By the way, do you want anesthesia?"

"No, if you take too much of this, it might affect your nerves."

"That being said, it's up to you."
