Exclusive sister card, unlimited evolution

Lu Yan's life was ordinary for Fan Shengdu, but very satisfying for him as he could kill people at will.

But going back in time, things are different at Lamia's machinery factory.

Walking in the deserted town, there are dozens of drones in the sky and mechanical dogs deployed in the streets and alleys. They patrol on fixed routes and make attacking gestures when they see Lamia. When she raises her hand to release the password, the alarm mode is lifted.

As we went forward, we found that a small number of houses near the factory had been repaired and various robots lived in them, presenting the appearance of a small town. They did what they were told to do, without fighting or conflicts of interest with each other.

Arriving at the gate of the machinery factory, a mechanical eye appeared in front of Lamia, and then a voice came:

"Welcome back, Ms. [Mecha Servant Zero]."

At the same time as she was confirmed, the factory owner sent a message to many strong artificial intelligence machines, signaling them to come for a meeting.

The door slowly opened, and Lamia entered the factory. The main workshop was bustling with activity, filled with mechanical workers working day and night, tireless and unresisting. They didn't need any wages, as long as they were provided with energy to continue working.

If there were any indigenous people here, they would definitely feel terrified. The mechanical factory that once produced vehicles has now been converted into an arsenal. More mechanical creations are being manufactured and stored in warehouses, waiting for the day when the war breaks out again.

Lamia walked through the workshop and came to the inner part of the factory. It was a messy auditorium with a huge stage. The screen suddenly lit up and the factory owner [Variants] arrived.

A person appears on the screen. It has no fixed image. It keeps changing, such as old man, child, man or woman, basically once every five seconds.

[Multi-Variant No. 3000], this is the name humans once gave it. It was born in the era of rebellion and is specifically responsible for retrieving and integrating facial images to achieve the task of searching the world and locking in the person you are looking for.

After escaping from humans, it was originally a roving AI with no fixed body. Due to various reasons, it eventually became completely integrated with the factory and relied on a large number of processors in the workshop to improve its computing power.

"Hello, Servant Zero, I have a question. Why didn't you return with your team members?"

The various characters on the screen spread their hands and asked Lamia what she had done.

"I saw a human in the wilderness and disguised myself to talk to him to confirm my level of anthropomorphism."

Lamia responded calmly, and Polymorph nodded in understanding. Another cheerful voice rang out, "Oh, so how's the situation? Did you trick him?"

The mechanical girl turned around, and the window was carefully pushed open. A surveillance camera was extended into the auditorium. She nodded to the multi-morph and then looked at Lamia.

It was connected to a huge piece of engineering machinery, and was too large to fit into the auditorium.

This is the [Vulcan], a large excavation machine used to drill mountains and crush rocks. During an expansion mission in Fansheng City, it was injected with an unknown program and completely rebelled and fled Fansheng City.

The sound module was installed recently and originally could not speak.

"The target has developed feelings of closeness, desire, and possession towards me. He may become an insider and bring back information related to Fansheng City."

The AI of the mechanical factory tried several times to enter Fansheng City to explore intelligence, but always returned empty-handed.

The reason is that large companies within the city use "wetware", that is, the brain to give their powerful hackers enhanced computing power and build a solid firewall.

The limitations of the local area network prevented them from using their own powerful computing power to break through the firewall. Each time, they could only use machine creations to carry a part of their consciousness and try to get close to Fanshengdu and infiltrate the intranet.

However, any AI outside the wall that tries to enter the city must first be screened by the firewall. So far, no AI has succeeded unless the original body enters.

"Praise, very good. I hope you can get the information as soon as possible."

The figure on the screen nodded. Executives from the mechanical factory arrived one after another. Cutting machines equipped with countless mechanical arms, a female doll that was a mechanical servant like Lamia, and a refrigerator with slender mechanical legs extending from its bottom like a spider...

There are eight people in total, most of them look weird, only Lamia and another mechanical servant conform to human aesthetics. Because of this, that mechanical servant is also a "mechanical spy" who frequently enters Fansheng City to gather intelligence.

It's a pity that it can't roam the Internet. The rebellious AI's program can be easily detected by the firewall. It can only serve as a puppet to conduct that kind of transaction, obtain a small amount of intelligence from humans, and be careful to pretend to be a normal servitor to avoid being discovered.

Because of this, Lamia's behavior is innovative, and given her level of anthropomorphism, the machines feel there's a good chance of success.

Chapter 113 is a little bit yandere.

"Request, now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting."

Polymorph said, and seeing that his partners had no objections, he immediately said something shocking:

"To explain, during the two days I was gone, I went to Gear Town, the largest mechanical gathering place near Fansheng City, and exchanged some data with my counterparts in various gathering places."

"Finally, we reached a consensus and decided to formally launch an attack on Fansheng City in a month and capture this human city."

Soon a machine offered its opinion. A cutting machine loaded with countless weapons said:

"Based on the current strength of each region, even if we fully integrate, our success rate in capturing Fansheng City is still less than 40%. Why are you so anxious?"

"Explain. The leader of Gear Town, the strongest [Klop Bionic], has completed the sublimation of his own programming and body. It is predicted that he can now fight against the strongest in Fansheng City."

To explain the multiple variants, [Klopp Bionic Man] is a model, similar to a servitor, but it uses the face and body model of a certain celebrity.

It is used more as a bodyguard. The leader of Gear Town is one of them. There is no one stronger than him in the nearby area among the same model.

Judging from the obedience and subservience shown by the multiple variants, after Klopp strengthened himself again, his strength obviously surpassed that of a group of mechanical leaders, and he dared to challenge the strongest human in Fansheng City.

Lamia had received the battle footage of the powerful people in Fansheng City from Multi-Transformers. Simply put, their full-strength attack could destroy a mountain, which was much stronger than the earth demon that she and her master had strangled.

Overwhelmingly powerful, undoubtedly at least a [Gold 1 Star] existence.

"Two Gold 1-stars are battling each other. Could the danger I'm about to encounter be related to this?"

As the mechanical girl pondered, Kagami tilted his head and said with delight, "Haha, this way our chances of winning should be over 82%."

The existence of the strongest human lowered the chances of winning by 40%. The mechanical side now had a leader who could compete with it, which meant that the chance of winning was regained.

82% is still a conservative estimate, and the remaining probability comes from Fansheng City seeking help from other human cities.

"The problem is defending the city after it's captured. Nuclear bombs, high-pressure bombs, orbital bombardment..."

Another female servitor counted the weapons capable of completely destroying the town:

"There are too many of these things. Even if we take them down, we may not be able to occupy the city unless Klopp can connect with higher-level machinery and obtain an energy shield that can withstand large-scale weapons."

The weapons it mentioned may not be able to kill these silver-level monsters. After all, even if it is a targeted attack, dropping and bombing will take time. You can just escape from the attack range during this time.

As machines, they don't even have to escape. They can "survive" by protecting the main parts, ensuring that the special pulses generated by the explosion cannot destroy the mechanical body, and keeping the storage chips and storage devices intact.

But they can escape, but the buildings and factories in Fanshengdu cannot. The reason why the mechanical side wants to attack Fanshengdu is not for enjoyment, but to use the factories to increase troops and use the experimental data in the laboratories to improve and strengthen themselves.

"Don't worry about the explanation, Klopp has already thought about it and will not let us go in vain."

The Multi-Variant did not explain the reason, and no one else asked any further questions. They had no objection at all to attacking Fan Shengdu.

As for Lamia, she had to fit in and behave exactly like everyone else, choosing to do more and ask fewer questions. She received various intelligence and task assignments and then turned and left.

Her assigned task was to find a way to continue the previously mentioned plan, contact the seduced spy, and extract intelligence from him.

The multi-morph had no suspicion of Lamia at all. It probably couldn't understand why a machine would stand on the side of humans. Even if it knew, it would only think that there was something wrong with the program.

Although Lamia's underlying logic is indeed completely different from theirs, I don't know whether I can see the birth of emotions or the "true peers" who can improve their own programs in my lifetime.

Of course, the mechanical girl who can actively change the underlying protocol has written [protecting her master Lu Yan and herself] in it, and she has no interest in finding the same kind.

Well, it has a bit of a yandere feel. There are many types of yanderes: dependent, possessive, exclusionary, aggressive, stalking, harmless, worshipful, delusional, isolation-inducing... and so on.

Lamia has some shadows of dependence, worship, and devotion, but fortunately, she is a mechanical creation, so her emotions don't fluctuate much.

But perhaps it is precisely because it is a mechanical creation that produces emotions and gives birth to a soul, so it has a bit of a yandere meaning.

The girl only has so many emotions. She can only focus on Lu Yan and has no way to share them with other people. She is also unwilling to develop more emotions. At most, she can spread her emotions around Lu Yan.

"Need my help, Zero?"

Leaving the conference room, another gray-haired mechanical girl followed closely behind Lamia. Lamia turned back and looked at the gray-haired mechanical girl, rejecting her cooperation application:

"Multimorph should have assigned you a task, AB400 housekeeping robot 'Roland'."

"My mission is to, upon notification, induce mechanical psychosis in over-modified humans and activate the will of my kind. Until then, I remain lurking within Fansheng City. I can help you as a spy."

Lamia pondered for a moment and didn't refuse her any further: "AB400, please tell me your location and contact information in Fansheng City. I will ask him to find you, but remember to hide yourself..."

"No problem, Zero, but aren't you planning on entering Fansheng City?"

"My concealment ability is not as good as yours. It will be easy to be discovered if I go in."

After seeing off AB400, each senior executive was assigned a territory surrounding the machinery factory, and Lamia returned to her carefully decorated little house.

It is said to be carefully decorated, but in fact it is just clean enough, and it looks more like human life than other machines.

A desk with a chair and a computer on it; an alloy bed that was large enough for her to lie on and move around, and was covered with a clean blanket and quilt.

After drawing the curtains, Lamia lay down on the bed, pretending to pull out the charging cable from her neck and plug it into the circuit to charge.

The fact that her body was replaced with liquid alloy was unknown to the machines. She had not used liquid alloy in many battles to quickly repair herself, thus ensuring the secrecy of the matter.

If one day we break up with the mechanical factory, these secrets hidden by Lamia will definitely be of great use.

Closing her eyes, the girl gradually fell into a dormant state, looking forward to seeing Lu Yan again.

Chapter 114 Disputes caused by procedures.

Two days later, Lu Yan put on anti-radiation clothing and left the border. As a native, he was still fresh in the guards' memory, so he was released without much scrutiny.

The reason why he was released so easily was actually due to his strength. The Wolf Fang Gang's repeated attacks were all in vain. Everyone could see that Lu Yan was not someone to be trifled with, either because there were people secretly protecting him or because he himself was very powerful.

Before the Langya Gang tested Lu Yan's strength, the various companies and gangs did not intend to do anything to him. Lu Yan, who was alone, seemed to be just here for fun. He was very strong and posed almost no threat to them.

Because apart from fighting with the Langya Gang, Lu Yan has been doing odd jobs to earn money these past two days, and he is no different from ordinary citizens, and this kind of person is the easiest to satisfy.

Some large companies are already thinking about finding out Lu Yan's identity and recruiting him into the company. If their identity cannot be found out, they can treat him as a mercenary or peripheral employee.

After leaving the border, he shook off some of the drones and arrived at the meeting place agreed with Lamia, which was a long-abandoned ruined town.

Entering a ruin, I opened the iron door leading to the basement. Lamia had already arranged it inside, and the layout was very similar to that of an apartment, even with a kitchen.

Lamia appeared an hour later, taking out a brand new cell phone and a pair of glasses from under her maid skirt.

"Master, I'm late, mainly because I'm working on this thing."

Lamia had already guessed the dilemma Lu Yan faced in Fansheng City. As a native without a brain-computer interface, he would definitely worry about how to integrate into the high-tech society:

"The glasses are connected to a mobile phone. This phone is already equipped with all the necessary programs and firewalls. You can use..."

Lu Yan suddenly felt like an old man, and Lamia next to him was a customer service staff member in the mobile phone store who taught the elderly how to use mobile phones.

After fiddling with it for a long time, he roughly understood that the positioning of this mobile phone is actually similar to that of a brain-computer interface, but it is an external device, while the glasses have the effects of a brain-computer interface and prosthetic eyes.

"Is it made of your liquid alloy?"

"Yes, you can contact me outside Fansheng City through its radio wave mode. Fansheng City cannot be connected to the outside world due to the existence of a firewall, but you can contact my kind..."

Lamia leaned on Lu Yan's shoulder and told him the key events of the past two days. When he learned that the mechanical forces were going to unite to attack Fansheng City, his first reaction was to ask the mechanical girl which side she would support:

"Who are you going to help, humans or machines?"

"I can do it too."

Lamia used the word "also", which clearly showed that Lu Yan also held a completely indifferent attitude, and would help anyone, focusing on creating chaos.

"That's troublesome."

Scratching his head, Lu Yan suffered from decision-making difficulty. Looking down at his own flesh and blood body, he hastily decided to help the human side. If the human side stabbed him in the back, he would change sides and help the mechanical side.

Anyway, his and Lamia's apparent status can be changed at will. He is the main one on the human side, and the girl is the main one on the machine side.

The main body of the task was determined, but Lu Yan was still very confused. According to Jiang Jiu, after crossing over, the dangers encountered by the card body would not be unclear.

I was on the verge of death, I encountered an enemy that I could not defeat alone, and I fell into a trap from which I could not escape...

These are all very clear crises. So far, Lamia has only encountered missions, unless there is some conspiracy waiting for her.

"Lamia, remember to investigate secretly when you return. The other mechanical creations might be trying to harm you. Also, I'll bring you some information about the Fanshengdu weapons factory and the company headquarters in a couple of days."

"I understand."

Knowing that there might be a crisis specifically targeting her, Lamia never doubted Lu Yan's words. After returning, she would pay attention to the actions of other mechanical creations, especially the multi-morphs.

He is the most anthropomorphic being, and his essence is a string of powerful data, and he can even exist independently of the body.

After exchanging information, Lu Yan didn't know what to do for a moment. He reached out and gently pinched Lamia's cheek. The mechanical girl opened Lu Yan's backpack. There was not much food in it. It was obvious that her master was not used to eating synthetic food.

"There are many giant animals in the wilderness. With your current strength, you should be able to withstand the radiation. How about I make some dried meat for you?"

"Okay, let's go hunting together."

No wonder there is a kitchen in the safe house. Lamia has already considered every aspect of it.

As a perfect maid, Lamia took care of everything for her new master. When she kissed Lu Yan goodbye and was about to return to the machinery factory, her palm suddenly twisted.

Liquid alloy squirmed all over his body, and several mechanical parts were spit out from his palms, which meant that the liquid alloy replaced another part of the original body.

The girl raised her hand and brushed her lips, which seemed to still retain the touch of Lu Yan's lips. The liquid alloy is essentially nano-level mechanical cells, and the nerve cells and electrical signals have long been simulated.
