Colonia Storm Tour

"Master, after we made contact with the AI ​​Odin of the Last Fortress and Commander Alice, we immediately began a large-scale data comparison and exchange. Through this data comparison and exchange, our memory series devices, which had obvious interruptions, finally received the last complete supplement, namely a memory modifier that can be used to modify memories. The memory modifier is currently being built using nanodrones."

Walker.com AI reported.

"That's the work of the Psychic Legion?"

Lin Haiyuan believed that anything related to the mind was basically from the Mind Legion.

"To be precise, it was a device created by the headquarters guards and the Mind Legion's experts and professors in genetics and psychology."

Walker.com AI responded.

"With the Mind Legion and the experts and professors guarding the headquarters working together, we don't know if they'll create a psionic monster that's like an evil god."

Lin Haiyuan thought that if the joint research on genes and mind by the Mind Legion and the Headquarters Guard continued without end, there would not only be the monstrous woman Libra, but also a psionic monster that would be a calamity for the entire universe. As it turns out, foolish idealists may have a moment of pleasure in ascending to heaven, but the whole country will be cremated. In the end, materialists have to clean up the mess left by idealists.

Upon arriving in the basement, Lin Haiyuan saw the biochemical reaction chamber he hadn't seen in a long time, as well as the memory reading device for the training instructions.

However, compared to the biochemical reaction chambers I saw last time when I came to this secret basement because of the gardenia, which were filled with half-yellow biomass liquid, this time the biochemical reaction chambers were much fuller. Not only were five people filled in one biochemical reaction chamber, but five more biochemical reaction chambers had also been built in this basement, each filled with five people.

Those people in the reinforced fiberglass containers were undoubtedly DEM magicians, and all of them were women. Since all the magicians on board the DEM warship were women, one could see dazzlingly white female nudes in the containers. Moreover, these DEM female magicians were all quite beautiful, making them look more like ripe peaches waiting to be picked—Mana Takamiya was elsewhere.

However, whether Lin Haiyuan is using his original body or the body of Artemisia, he will not be stimulated by those simple and direct naked women.

“I once said that I hoped that Gardenia would be the last victim of my mind control. Now it seems that statement is like a huge flag, and I have to use my mind power to control people again.”

Lin Haiyuan finished speaking and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"……………………"

Walker.com's AI remained silent, neither the human nor the AI ​​having anticipated that things would turn out this way.

"Forget it, we should immediately perform a ctOS_calibration on the memories of these DEM female magicians. Have we completed the construction of the memory modifier based on the blueprints transmitted from Alice?"

Lin Haiyuan didn't dwell too much on self-deprecation and quickly entered a state of preparing to use his mental power.

"Construction is complete, and after testing, it is ready for immediate use. Master, please proceed this way."

Walker.com's AI guided Lin Haiyuan to the operating position, and immediately released a comatose and sedated DEM magician from the biochemical reaction room onto the operating table. Of course, this operating table was not for cutting open the abdomen, but simply for convenient operation.

After the instruments and people were in place, Lin Haiyuan's blue eyes, which belonged to Artemisia, emitted a mysterious light representing spiritual power.

"Inside Your Soul".

Starting with this sentence, Lin Haiyuan officially began the memory modification project on these 30 DEM magicians.

This memory modification project lasted for an hour before it was declared over.

After Lin Haiyuan finished modifying all the memories, she stepped back from the control panel, and Walker.com AI raised a chair and a simple table behind her.

She took a towel from the table and wiped the sweat from her cheeks and forehead, then sat down on the cold metal chair.

"Walker.com AI, bring Charlotte Bennet to me."

Lin Haiyuan struck the famous pose of Commander Ikari once again.

"Yes, Master."

Walker.com's AI received his command and immediately used a terror drone and a telescope drone to send the DEM female magician named Charlotte Bennet to a raised seat in front of his table.

After Lin Haiyuan stimulated the mind of this DEM magician with his mental power, the other party's eyelashes trembled for a few seconds before he immediately opened his bright green eyes.

"Name, age."

Those eyes, the same color as the sky, emitted a strange light.

Charlotte Bennet is 18 years old.

Charlotte Bennet immediately answered the question under the influence of her mental powers.

"So, the next question is, why did you choose to leave DEM?"

Her now clear and melodious voice, like that of a nightingale, is sure to entice Charlotte Bennet to reveal her true feelings.

"Because DEM's actions are unacceptable and frightening, they can manipulate memories and control others by using the Memory Master Manifestation Device and the Tower of Babel Manifestation Device to manipulate memories and make others their own. There's no guarantee that they won't use the Memory Master Manifestation Device and the Tower of Babel Manifestation Device on us the next day, forever making us slaves they think they're entitled to be."

Charlotte Chris’s trembling voice and terrified expression were testament to the horror she felt upon realizing this terrible fact.

She thought to herself, isn't it terrifying to be forever a slave to someone and to take it for granted as common sense? There would be no freedom whatsoever.

"So, in order to prevent your memories from being manipulated and becoming a slave to DEM, what should you do? Feel fear and run away?"

Lin Haiyuan questioned.

"No! Feeling fear is inevitable, but we cannot run away because of fear. Instead, we must pick up our swords and fight to the end! Freedom!"

Charlotte Chris said, raising her right hand and waving it like she was brandishing a beam saber.

"There are now two organizations in the world that can stand against the DEM you were once willing to serve: one is the Foehn, and the other is Ratatosk. Which one do you want to join?"

Lin Haiyuan continued asking questions.

"Uh, um..."

Charlotte Chris poked her cheek with her finger and thought for a while before saying, "I'm willing to join and serve any organization that is truly willing to fight DEM to the end!"

"Then let me tell you something that defies your common sense: Ratatoskr is not only an organization that fights against DEM, but also an organization whose mission is to be friendly to and help the elves. Can you accept that?"

Lin Haiyuan, seeing that it was time, brought up a point that was usually difficult for magicians to understand.

"Uh, an organization that's friendly to elves and whose mission is to help them? I almost forgot about that..."

Charlotte Chris started to feel conflicted when she thought about this.

From the moment she became a magician, she was told that elves were nightmares that only brought disaster, especially the nightmare that affected more than 100,000 people, which further deepened the evil impression of elves in the eyes of magicians.

Ratatosk's principle of being friendly to and helping elves was considered incomprehensible and insane by the entire DEM, and she thought so too.

If we want to rally under one organization to fight against DEM, we will inevitably have to choose between the Ratatosk and Foehn organizations.

"May I choose to join the Foehn Winds, Miss Artemisia?"

Charlotte Chris asked her cautiously—they were no longer aware that they were talking to Lin Haiyuan, but rather that they were talking to the real Artemisia.

"I regret to inform you, Miss Chris, that Foehn Wind, like Ratatoskr, is friendly towards elves and can help them when necessary."

Lin Haiyuan's words were telling her that it was impossible to escape her attitude towards the elves.

"Why…………"

Charlotte Chris understood from Artemisia's words that she had to make a choice regarding her attitude towards the elves, and that choice was undoubtedly to be friendly to them and help them as much as possible.

“Miss Chris, discard the prejudices you were shaped by during your time in DEM. Think about it: if elves are all monsters who enjoy killing and causing destruction, then how do you explain the fact that the Kashi region of Tibet and the Foehn Wind fought side by side with the Ratatosk coalition?”

Artemisia raised a delicate eyebrow, her gaze fixed on Charlotte Chris's emerald eyes, leaving the latter no way to escape and forcing her to face the truth.

The information about the spirit Rowan was implanted into her brain through the memory recorder. This included photos and videos of her wandering aimlessly in the sky as a spirit, battling against the AST, as well as photos and images of her equipping the CR-UNIT and the Foehn Wind alongside the magicians of Ratatoskr, fighting against the world's strongest magician, Ellen Mira Messer, and the second magician, Takamiya Mana, and finally, maintaining the cannon crown as she charged towards the Babel Tower manifestation device.

That moment flashed before Charlotte Chris’s eyes with unstoppable force, replaying itself perfectly in her mind.

These facts, which even DEM had to acknowledge, were laid bare before Charlotte Chris, and she began to reflect on whether she had truly been misled. At the same time, Rowan's sacrifice also made her realize this.

Even though she is an elf, setting aside her elven powers, she is no different from an ordinary girl. Compared to creating nightmares of killing and destruction for amusement, this angel truly fought for humanity and even sacrificed herself. She is an elf worthy of respect and love.

I vaguely remember hearing a saying that race does not represent honor. I know some orcs who are as respectable as the noblest knights, and I also know some humans who are as evil as the most cruel undead Scourge.

After recalling those words, Charlotte Chris felt as if she had truly awakened, as if the clouds had parted and the sun had shone through.

"I understand! Not all elves are evil and take pleasure in killing and destruction. There are noble and respectable beings among elves, like Miss Rowan! And compared to Miss Rowan, who is slandered as an evil and terrifying monster, the guys from DEM are more like evil and terrifying monsters! Now I know that some elves can be as holy, noble, and compassionate as true angels, while I know that some humans can be as evil as the demons of hell in mythology and dream of turning the whole world into their slave farm!"

Seeing Charlotte Chris's enlightened reaction, Lin Haiyuan thought to himself, "Wow, adding Old Fording's words on a whim has such a good effect, but the effect is not perfect."

Because Tokisaki Kurumi is still regarded as an enemy spirit, but that is a problem caused by her own behavior, and she can only wait for the right opportunity to deal with it.

"So, can you still believe that the common sense that elves are monsters that bring natural disasters and must be eliminated is correct?"

Lin Haiyuan asked the last question.

"That's completely incorrect, but I think Nightmare must be eliminated. She gives off the feeling of killing and destroying for fun."

Charlotte's idea was exactly as she expected.

"Time will tell, sooner or later... Sleep, child, forget what you shouldn't remember, look deeply into my eyes..."

Lin Haiyuan's eyes shone with an inexplicable light, and her words carried a mental power that could instantly put people to sleep.

Charlotte, who met her gaze, immediately fell asleep. Then, the terrifying drone and the long-range drone took her away and transported her to a dormitory room that had been prepared in advance so she could get a good night's sleep.

"WalkerAI, bringing the next big thing."

Lin Haiyuan put his hands down on the table.

"Yes, Master."

After Walker.com's AI answered, it immediately brought in the second person to answer Lin Haiyuan's question, the DEM magician.

And so, the unconventional persuasion continued.

Time: Evening

Location: Colonia's flank air base

With a faint teleportation light, the command center finally welcomed its master, Lin Haiyuan. However, the master's appearance was vastly different from the smiling young man she once was. Now, she was a blonde, blue-eyed young girl who could be described as adorable.

Lin Haiyuan glanced at the familiar scene inside the command center and then quickly walked out of the command center without stopping.

"Walker.com AI, take me to the gene technology array. I need to see my wounded commandos."

She revealed her purpose.

"Yes, Master."

When Walker.com AI arrived at the door of the command center in Lin Haiyuan, a commander-type Jackal mobile vehicle just happened to stop in front of her.

She easily entered and sat in the driver's seat, then continued to ask Walker.com AI about what she cared about: "How are Hua Zhizi, Kao Er, Ling Yunrong, Li Yang, and Yu Xiao doing?"

"Comrade Caul was seriously injured; the destructive power of that magical shockwave was truly astonishing. However, Comrade Caul's vitality was also remarkable. He was still alive after being teleported back through time and space, so his life was saved in time."

Walker.com AI first reported on the condition of Caulker, who was the most seriously injured.

"Will he be able to recover as quickly as possible?"

Lin Haiyuan's last wish was for one of his elite subordinates to be bedridden for ten days or half a month, as he would be an indispensable member of the commando team on Nililu Island.

"Although he can be cured in a short time, if you want him to recover his combat strength faster, I suggest sending him to the last fortress base for treatment. There are more complete facilities there that can treat him more quickly and effectively."

Walker.com AI has put forward a contradictory suggestion.
