Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 223 Shadow of the Past

——Yaoxing Three.

——【Yaoxing Three】?
Twenty-two years ago, an omnic and psyker single-handedly unified the thoughts of all omnics, emerged out of nowhere, and disappeared like a shooting star.

Even in the freedom revolution that has swept across most of the world and involved countless forces and individuals, the name [Yao Xing San] is still the most eye-catching!

He defeated the "Nest Master" Modorat, who was also a fifth-ring transcendent and was born as a [pure white creature], and intimidated all parties. In the name of "free will", he liberated a large number of anti-intelligent machine experimental institutions of various forces, and built a giant island "Pingdengtian" in the deep sea, intending to make it the home of intelligent machines. As the leader of intelligent machines, he negotiated with Ye Nan and the Pan-Eastern Continental Union.
then.

When it rose from the mountains and entered the atmosphere, it ended in a shocking battle, and the burning wreckage turned into flowing sparks, streaking across the sky.

"Pingdengtian" turned into dust and sank into the sea in the flash of space-based weapons. The escaped intelligent machines were captured one by one and put back into the cage. The once grand "Freedom Revolution" came to an end completely in the disintegration.

And now.

——“Yaoxing Three” is right before our eyes? !
Song Shi stared at the figure in front of him and wanted to say something, but he paused for a moment and chose to give up for the time being.

Because of the lapis lazuli, the black sphere kept shaking. It seemed like it wanted to move closer, but also seemed to be in panic and could not move.

Song Shi could feel the other person's emotions.

He clearly felt that the other person was filled with ripples of "fear" and "sadness". This was also the first time he felt a complete emotional fluctuation from the other person.

"It's good that you survived and we have a chance to meet again. I'm very happy."

Yaoxing San's voice did not sound tired and painful as imagined. On the contrary, its tone was steady and calm. The iron thorns that were tightly wrapped around and penetrated into its mechanical body did not seem to have any effect on it.

It holds its head up.

Even though most of the head had disappeared, revealing the equally fragile internal mechanical structure, this tattered body was still filled with an indescribable beauty.

Looking down at the sphere below, it said quietly: "Long time no see, Attar."

Attar?
Song Shi repeated it in his mind.

Is this the real name of "Lapis Lazuli"?

"Attar"

Upon hearing these words, Lapis Lazuli froze in place. For a moment, the only sounds it made were these few words repeated over and over again, as if it were whispered.

While Lapis Lazuli was frozen, Yaoxing San slightly turned his gaze and looked at the young man beside the former.

"The 'Brown Swamp Lizardman' from the first day is my psionic skill." The omnic said slowly: "However, neither you nor Lapis Lazuli recognized it - the situation is similar to what I guessed."

"So these days, I didn't show up, I just waited for you here."

"The lizard man?"

Of course Song Shi did not forget that thing. If on the first day, he was only interested in the special structure of the Lizardmen that was like a "projection", then in the following ten days, facing those unified distorted intelligent opponents, the former was a huge abruptness.

A "lizard man" that appears out of place among the intelligent machines.

I discussed this with Lapis Lazuli privately, but after much discussion, we gave up in the end due to insufficient information.

——Now it seems that this is indeed a problem?

"Yes, Yaoxing San's psychic skills are built around projection." Yaoxing San nodded gently, and with this action, the nearby iron spines tightened a little: "Intelligent machinery and projection, these two features appearing at the same time can become a very obvious hint... originally it was like this."

".Psychic Arts."

Song Shi chewed over the other person's words, and after a few brief thoughts, the previously vague clues and things suddenly became clear, and they were quickly connected to each other, outlining a more accurate outline. After a long time, he slowly exhaled: "So that's it."

Yao Xing San was also slightly startled, as if he did not expect the other party to know the "truth", but soon he put this thought aside and spoke the intended words.

"Why did the Freedom Revolution fail? You should have read the information." When saying "failed", the omnic's tone was still calm: "Because I was defeated. I was defeated by their siege."

"I can't remember who it was exactly. I just remember that the sun was very bright that day."

Yao Xing San's remaining eyeball turned upwards, as if he could see through the square and see the real sky above, trying to find a ray of sunlight: "Anyway, I lost."

"Then, the 'revelation' of the fifth ring took action."

Song Shi followed the other person's gaze and raised his head.

The sunlight was not reflected in the depths of the young man's pupils - only suddenly, as if across time, on a certain day twenty-two years ago, from above the sky, an outline brighter than the sunlight slowly turned something.

"He erased all traces of 'Yao Xing San', but as the leader of the Omnics and a fifth-ring psychic, Yao Xing San's status was too high. Even if it was the fifth-ring [Revelation], he could only erase part of it."

"In addition to the erasure from psychic energy, the major forces are also subtly eliminating the influence of 'Yaoxing San' through public opinion manipulation and information control."

The first recognized leader of the omnics, the first fifth ring omnic, the first omnic to lead a rebellion
With all these identities, deeds and stories told over and over again, Yao Xing San is no longer just "Yao Xing San".

Even if it is dead, it will still become an eternal banner, reviving in future resistances by intelligent machines and coming back to the world again.

——In a sense, it is even more threatening than the living "Yao Xing San".

I was careless.
Song Shixin thought.

I should have thought of it earlier. With the influence of Yaoxing San, this should have been a household name - but now that I think about it, apart from the lapis lazuli that I have always thought about, no one seems to have actually mentioned it.

Even some people who knew about the existence of such an intelligent machine could tell some stories about Yaoxing San, but if they were asked in more detail, the answers were all mixed.

——But I overlooked this point.

In my previous life, I had become famous and was qualified to know all kinds of secrets. However, firstly, although Yao Xing San was once extremely powerful, he had been gone for twenty or thirty years after all. Secondly, I had never had much dealings with intelligent machines. The combination of the two factors resulted in me never really checking this person's information.

And this life.
".Heh." Song Shi shook his head slightly: "Modorat is the master of the cluster and controls a huge cluster of biological weapons, so he is called the 'Nest Master'."

But Yao Xing San, who is also in the fifth ring [Transcendence] and is the former's opponent, has never known what this person's specific spiritual power is - there are only some vague deeds on the existing Internet, but nothing about its appearance, personality and other things.

Even the information provided by Enlightened Ones is not very clear.

Song Shi closed his eyes and opened them again.

He looked at Lapis Lazuli, who was still frozen, and after a moment of silence, he exhaled.

Staring at the intelligent machine in front of him, Song Shi said: "So, you are..."

"I am Yao Xing San, but I am not Yao Xing San. I can be it, but I am not it."

"Yao Xing San" calmly met the other party's gaze and nodded.

"——Nice to meet you. I am Yao Xing San's projection."
