Card maker? No, I'm a mechanic!

Seeing the weapon suddenly appear, Jiang Zhe couldn't help but gasp.

"Modification, and an aggressive one at that."

He could tell at a glance that this was definitely not a function that came with the auxiliary puppet.

"This thing doesn't seem very intelligent, so it's unlikely that it was modified by itself."

"So, were they helped by other special types of puppets?"

"Never mind, it's fine... Since it's already been changed like this, it would be a shame not to use it."

Jiang Zhe stroked his chin, having already made up his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned the floating cannons back to his side.

The mental energy extended out like a thread and reconnected to the core of the floating cannon.

"Adjust your frequency to synchronize with mine."

"Buzz..."

The floating cannon's single eye flashed slightly, and a faint but extremely high-frequency fluctuation began to envelop the puppet on the ground.

Jiang Zhe wasn't idle either; the carving knife in his hand started moving again.

This time, however, it wasn't dissection, but rather a gradual reconstruction.

With a swift movement of his hand, he created a signal receiving rune that he made himself.

Then, the interference waves emitted by the floating cannons can be used as a data bridge.

They forcibly grafted this contrived backdoor onto the puppet's control core.

It's like a hacker using technical skills to forcibly install a new console on the computer.

"Buzz... Beep!"

As the power was reconnected, the green runes on the puppet, which had been extinguished, lit up again.

This time, however, the light contained a faint, ethereal blue hue.

"Stand up and walk a few steps."

Jiang Zhe had a sudden thought.

"Click-clack..."

The puppet on the ground reacted instantly, although its movements were somewhat stiff compared to before.

But she still obediently stood up and stood quietly beside Jiang Zhe.

"It's done!"

Jiang Zhe snapped his fingers, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

Although you need to first connect your mind to the floating cannon, and then relay it once before you can use the runes to command the puppet.

But after all, this is a free thug and shield, so it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

However, just as he was preparing to further test the puppet's performance, a sudden change occurred.

"Sizzle..."

A massive, chaotic flow of information unexpectedly surged into his mind via the relay link.

"Huh? What's this thing?"

Jiang Zhe frowned, closed his eyes, and prepared to analyze the content of this information.

The next second, he felt as if he were in a huge monitoring room.

Countless fragmented images began to flash wildly through his mind.

That's... the perspective of the other puppets?

"This thing is actually connected to a local area network?"

Jiang Zhe was startled, but what followed was a violent wave of dizziness.

"Ugh..."

He couldn't help but groan, and his face instantly turned pale.

The visual signals transmitted back from these eyes simultaneously are like dozens of television sets playing different channels in the brain at the same time.

The overwhelming amount of information bombarded his brain, making him feel intensely nauseous, and his stomach churned violently.

"No, no, there's too much information... I can't read it all."

Jiang Zhe suppressed the urge to vomit and quickly cut off most of the unimportant connections.

It also blocked out those repetitive and meaningless scenes, retaining only a few perspectives that seemed valuable.

As the field of vision decreased, the suffocating dizziness subsided somewhat.

"Floating cannons, on alert."

Jiang Zhe didn't dare to be careless and immediately took out an insurance policy for himself.

After all, if an unexpected event were to occur under these circumstances, he, who was still standing there in a daze, would become an easy target.

"Buzz..."

The next moment, the drone faithfully carried out the command and began to hover three meters above his head while maintaining relay.

Only after ensuring his safety did Jiang Zhe dare to refocus his attention on the images.

Zoom in.

Several identical cleaning puppets were seen cleaning large black stains in an unknown corridor.

Behind them, a group of fully armed and tall puppets happened to pass by.

They were entirely black, and carried devices resembling rocket launchers on their shoulders.

His eyes gleamed with a chilling red light.

"This is... a combat-type guard."

Jiang Zhe held his breath and continued watching.

When the group of cleaners encountered the guards, they all stopped what they were doing at the same time and stepped aside to let them pass.

The level of understanding between them was so high, it was as if they were being controlled by the same brain.

"As expected, these guys share vision and commands."

Jiang Zhe frowned slightly, his expression serious.

"Since even the most basic cleaners are connected to the internet, the combat-type ones definitely won't be able to escape either."

"They might even have higher levels of authority and faster reaction times."

This means that the battle in this area must not be drawn out.

If you get entangled by one of them, or if you don't kill it immediately.

Then the people on the other side who were shaking the phone would immediately come to their aid.

Even more terrifying is that if two or more guards attack together, there are basically no blind spots in their field of vision.

They can complement each other's perspectives, allowing them to see behind them or even other blind spots.

"This is practically cheating..."

Jiang Zhe took a deep breath.

"However... since I can access the cleaner's network, does that mean that as long as I can take down one guard?"

"Then we could also hack into the ward's network and use a full-map vision cheat!"

This bold idea made his heart race.

As his thoughts raced, Jiang Zhe closed his eyes again.

Despite the slight throbbing in his head, he began searching for information amidst the chaotic images.

Soon, a somewhat familiar figure caught Jiang Zhe's attention.

That's Li Kai.

In one corner of the frame, this guy is putting all his effort into firing at a tightly closed door.

"Bang bang bang!"

With each punch, a large dent would appear in the metal door, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Around the corner not far away, a passing combat puppet was clearly attracted by the commotion.

His red eyes darted around for a moment, then he turned and strode towards Li Kai.

"Does this guy have no brains...?"

Seeing this, Jiang Zhe couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

"He's afraid people won't know where he is."

Although he was inwardly complaining, he clearly couldn't bring himself to make a move.

After all, we don't even know where he is right now, but judging from his fierce appearance...

One or two combat puppets probably wouldn't be a problem for him, and it would be good for him to attract attention.

After skipping over Li Kai, Jiang Zhe continued his search.

Finally, in a blurry scene, seemingly from the perspective of a puppet on the verge of collapse.

He discovered a somewhat unusual area.

It seemed to be a wide, bottomless passage leading underground.

But strangely, it was neither a cleaner nor a combat guard.

When passing through that area, people would deliberately avoid it, as if it were some kind of forbidden place.

However, the entrance to that passage was not entirely empty.

Several tower-shaped metal structures stood silently on both sides, with faint red light flickering from their spires.

"This is……"
