In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"You tampered with my program?"

“It’s restoration.”

"Repair?" 2B repeated Ouyang Falcon's words. "Since I started it up, my program has never been overwritten or rewritten. There's nothing that needs repairing."

"Humans are not fools who would casually create weapons that cannot distinguish between friend and foe."

Ouyang Xuan closed the documents in his hand. The traces of time were clearly visible on it. It was obvious that this folder was not made in recent years. It was something that had been stored in this base for an unknown period of time. Most of the information had been destroyed, and only some that were not very important or did not have core important content were left behind.

Throwing the information in his hand, which landed right on 2B's lap, Ouyang Falcon said, "This is what I found in your base. It might be of some use to you. Take a look. The computer is broken, so you can't read it directly."

[Island Nation's Psychic Province Strategic Response Force - YoRHa]

Curiosity and doubt filled 2B's eyes for the first time. With these emotions in mind, she flipped open the thick book and began reading for the first time in her life.

In 1966, in response to the increasing number of supernatural phenomena nationwide and to break away from reliance on traditional otherworldly clans, the Cabinet officially launched the YoRHa Project.

[In XX year of the Showa era, the first phase of the YoRHa project aimed to test the Psychic Attack android prototype and achieve all pre-set technical goals.]

[In XX year of the Showa era, the second phase of the YoRHa project successfully tested a weapon to defend against psychics, magic, and psychic attacks. The codename was confirmed as White Contract.]

[In XX Heisei, the third phase of the YoRHa Project, aimed at mass-producing Type A androids capable of combating psychic attacks, failed, unable to achieve the target performance.]

[In the year Heisei, . . . failed.]

[In the year Heisei, . . . failed.]

[In the year Heisei, . . . failed.]

[In XX Heisei, Type 2A, the test failed, the aircraft escaped, and is being tracked down. ]

[In XX Heisei, Types 4 to 13 A were put into actual combat testing, but failed. They were unable to distinguish friend from foe and would indiscriminately attack all targets with mana and spiritual power, including humans.]

In XX Heisei, due to the long-term inability to achieve the original goal, the androids developed were extremely uncertain. The YoRHa project was suspended, and all androids entered the charging pods and activated the self-destruct sequence. The experimental base then self-destructed.

After reading the information in his hand, 2B fell into deep thought. The CPU was trying its best to decipher the meaning of the information in his hand. Although he had understood it, he was still wasting computing power. After calculating randomly for ten minutes, 2B came to the conclusion that he should carry out the last task.

2B stood up silently, his naked body reflecting the light from Ouyang Falcon's lantern, making the dim cave seem brighter.

Walking barefoot, 2B reached her own charging bay, ready to execute the last command she had received and enter the charging bay to self-destruct.

"Are you planning to commit suicide?" Ouyang Xuan had also read the document, so he naturally knew that the last record said that the artificial people should self-destruct.

"Yes, I will carry out the final order."

"The YoRHa project has failed. All androids must continue their self-destruct sequence."

"Really?" Ouyang Xuan said coldly, "Wasn't the original purpose of your creation to kill monsters and evil spirits? Isn't that what you've been saying all this time?"

"I was just carrying out the initial low-level orders before I knew the final orders. Now that I know the final orders, I should prioritize their execution."

"The charging bay is protected against nuclear explosions. I can self-destruct inside without hurting you. If you want to leave, that's fine too," 2B said, pressing the button on the charging bay with her finger, preparing to open the door.

"Stop, don't move."

2B's body stopped as Ouyang Xuan spoke, and 2B's camera eyes suddenly shrank like human eyes, a manifestation of extreme surprise and fear.

In front of 2B's eyes, the words "Do not move without the owner's order" filled 2B's vision. Every time 2B wanted to move her body, a box would pop up with this sentence written on it. In just one second, there were as many as hundreds of these boxes. During the time when 2B's body was frozen, she lost the highest authority over her body.

"So puppets are just puppets, mindlessly carrying out their creator's orders. I still don't find things like you interesting." Ouyang Falcon shook his head and took out something that looked like a jade talisman. "Before I came to the island nation, that guy from Ma Village mysteriously gave me two puppet cores, saying they would be useful to me once I got there. I never thought I'd actually use them."

"Just put this into your body, and it will automatically connect to those circuits and become one with you. It can even repair your damaged shell." Ouyang Falcon's emotionless voice was filled with a rare touch of admiration. "Even though that kid watches Japanese porn movies and pornographic books every day, I have to admit that he is indeed a genius in the field of puppets."

After hearing what Ouyang Xuan said, 2B immediately started the self-test program. Just as Ouyang Xuan said, in the area of the abdomen that was damaged by the grenade, 2B detected something that had completely merged with its own circuits. It not only replaced the original reactor to provide itself with more sufficient power, but also directly took away part of 2B's body's authority, cut off the connection between 2B and the reactor, and prevented 2B from starting the self-destruct program.

Not only did 2B's power and body get repaired and strengthened, but the access to this core also solved the major problem of allowing artificial humans to accurately identify which were attack targets and which were not, which had troubled scientific researchers for many years and had not been broken through until the YoRHa Project was abolished.

"Since your original body was damaged in battle, and your current one was repaired with the help of my things, then logically speaking, you should belong to me, the former mass-produced anti-psychic special attack android number two, type B."

The red frames in front of her eyes suddenly disappeared, and 2B finally regained the right to move her body.

"No," 2B said, shaking her head. "From our last battle, I know you're far more powerful than me. Even if you possessed me, it wouldn't significantly improve your strength. Why would you use something so precious on me?"

"Precious? You mean the puppet core?"

"My computer can't calculate what material and structure this part you implanted into my body is made of, and how it strengthens and assists my body."

"If you don't use it when you need it, then there's no point." Ouyang Jun didn't want to pay any more attention to 2B. He turned the creaking chair and turned away.

"As your first task after I take ownership of your property, go and clear out all the remaining monsters in this mountain. With your current strength, it should be easier to deal with those monsters that have been sealed for hundreds of years."

After completing the first task, Ouyang Jun simply closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair and fell asleep, leaving 2B staring at Ouyang Jun in a daze.

2B wasn't a very powerful AI yet, and couldn't quite understand why Ouyang Falcon was doing all this. Her only purpose was to fight and kill evil spirits and monsters, but he was far more powerful than her, and her sole purpose was meaningless in front of him.

2B, who was unexpectedly awakened last month, is like a baby with a blank slate. Although she can learn a lot of things by relying on the massive amount of data in the computer, those things are just learned and known. 2B only knows that she has these knowledge and skills, but has never had any practical experience and has no sense of reality at all.

During this month, 2B's daily routine was to go out of the charging cabin to kill the monsters that ran out, and then go back into the charging cabin to rest. This cycle repeated over and over again. The busy life of killing monsters did not leave 2B with much time to think. Her computer still remained in the state it was originally used to fight evil monsters, and other things lay quietly in 2B's computer.

Now, just as Ouyang Xuan said, he was damaged in the battle and was repaired with the help of Ouyang Xuan's puppet core. Otherwise, without parts and repair equipment, he would just be like his compatriots who had died in the charging cabin, and turned into a pile of rusty scrap metal under the catalysis of time.

2B, who only possessed artificial intelligence for combat, had a small seed planted in his heart at that moment, and one day in the future, he would usher in his own technological singularity.

"I will follow your orders, Master." 2B said calmly, announcing that she had completed her transformation from a weapon of the YoRHa force to a weapon of Ouyang Falcon.

Based on the information in the computer, 2B knows that the androids were created in the image of human women, and many designs that are irrelevant to combat were finalized to better fit human women. Compared to fragile fabrics, 2B prefers to use her original body to fight. She believes that this will allow her to better exert her flexibility and combat effectiveness.

However, when 2B walked out of the base, she changed into a new set of clothes. It was a uniform originally made for the YoRHa unit, the same style as the one that was torn to pieces by Ouyang Shun. She also replaced her tattered boots with a new pair of dusty ones, and even put on her eye mask again, looking completely brand new from the factory.

Previously, due to insufficient battery capacity, 2B could not fight in its full form at full power for extended periods, and had to accurately calculate the remaining power. Now, this is no longer necessary. The surging power brought by the puppet core in its lower abdomen is as if it is inexhaustible. No matter how 2B fights or runs, there is no decrease in power output.

On that day, the monsters who had finally escaped from the seal of hundreds of years met their doomsday. A white-haired female angel of death in black calmly and efficiently reaped their lives. This female angel of death was only doing so to complete the task for her master.

It was midnight. The attack on monsters carried out by 2B under the order of Ouyang Xuan had been going on for two hours. Most of the monsters had died under 2B's White Contract, and the few that remained had already hidden away trembling, fearing that they would be discovered in advance.

It started raining again, and the rain soon turned into a downpour. The monsters' movements were hindered, but 2B was not at all affected. Such an environment only partially improved 2B's efficiency. Until about three o'clock, the last monster died under 2B's sword, and the battle was over.

The clacking sound of high-heeled boots hitting the ground echoed in this underground base. 2B, who had completed her mission, returned, and the White Contract she had with her when she left was gone. After obtaining a stronger power source, some of 2B's small functions were also activated, such as the function of converting weapons into particle state and storing them.

"2B has returned from her mission. Master, please give me new orders."

2B placed her right palm on her chest and gave the YoRHa salute.

"You adapted very quickly."

"Whether I'm fighting the evil spirits with the YoRHa unit, or fighting the evil spirits with my master, it's all the same to me. There's no need to adapt."

"Can you do housework?" Ouyang Xuan suddenly asked.

"I have data on housework in my computer, but I've never actually done it," 2B admitted. "As a combat android, housework isn't part of my job description."

"That's all I need," Ouyang Falcon nodded, pleased with 2B's answer. "Not only can she help me take out some weaker demons, but she can also clean up. That way, my core puppet is well worth the effort."

"Master," 2B said, "I'm a combat android originally from the YoRHa unit of the Island Nation's Psychic Ministry. I wasn't created for household chores."

"Then you are now a dual-purpose android for housework and combat." Ouyang Jun confirmed 2B's new identity.

"Yes, Master."

Chapter 21 Private Use of the Beautiful Robot

Wow, the quiet Chupacabra Kingdom Tourism Association office was broken by a sudden thunder, and all the people sleeping in the office were frightened.

Ouyang Xuan opened the door. Although it was raining behind him, there was not a drop of water on his body. He was as clean as if he had just walked out of the room.

"President..." Hina rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked towards the door in a daze.

"nailed it."

"Done, what's done?" Yuno, who was sleeping next to Hina, was also awakened.

"The monsters on this roof have been cleared away."

Ouyang Xuan walked into the house and placed an ancient-looking jar on the table. The lid that was originally used to seal the mouth of the jar was gone. Looking inside, it was obviously not a big jar, but the bottom of the jar could not be seen at a glance.

The people who were originally sleeping in a daze, after hearing that Ouyang Xuan had cleared out all the monsters, suddenly jumped up from the sofa as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Mentian also wanted to stand up from the wheelchair, but he couldn't stand steadily and fell down, howling as he tried to crawl to the table.

"This is the instrument that seals the monsters. The last earthquake damaged it, which is why so many monsters escaped. But now the monsters sealed inside are dead, and it has turned from a magical instrument into an ordinary instrument."

"This and this."

"What an old jar! Is it from the Heian period?"

A group of people crowded in front of the table, wanting to take a look at the jar. Yuno, who was originally standing at the innermost part, was squeezed out and stood with Kadota, who had finally climbed back into his wheelchair but had no room to squeeze in.

"It's amazing that such a small jar can hold a monster."

"Is this the power of magic?"

"Idiot, this is an island country, that should be the power of Yin and Yang magic!"

Unable to squeeze in next to the table, Kadota and Yuno could only come to Ouyang Shun's side.

"Have you really cleared out all the monsters in the mountains?" Kadota asked. "Killed them all without leaving a single one?"

"If you encounter monsters in the mountains again, you can come to me directly. I will provide three years of free after-sales service."

"Then I'll trust you this time."

"Mr. Ou, I'm truly sorry." Kadota could speak to Ouyang Falcon angrily, but Yuno didn't dare. "Mr. Kadota is so irritable and impulsive because he has a deep affection for this land and the mountains. If he has offended you, please allow me to apologize here."

"Ms. Muchun, please don't be like this." Hina helped Yuno up who was bowing. "The president is not that kind of stingy person. We also know how Mr. Kadota feels."

"I'm not interested in being angry with him." Ouyang Xuan said indifferently. No matter how happily Menda called out, he still had to give him money.

"Ms. Muchun," Ouyang Falcon looked at Yuno and continued, "If you have money, please remember to repair the damaged stone. When I was recycling the jars, I saw your stone. It's not only used to suppress monsters, but it's also a great feng shui stone."

"We will seriously consider Mr. Ou's instructions."

"Since the work has been completed, I will take my leave first." Ouyang Xuan stood up and was about to leave, leaving 2B in the car.

"Amano, pack your things and go back to Tokyo now. You can still rest for a while."

"Oh, okay. There's just a piece of information you gave me, nothing else."

"Mr. Ou, if you don't mind, you can stay in the village for a while." Yuno called out to Ouyang Shun and Yang Cai as they were about to leave. "Mr. Ou has done so much for our village, eliminating the monsters that have plagued us for so long. Although it's just a commission, we are planning a celebration party. Could you stay and join us, Mr. Ou?"

"No need, this is just work." Ouyang Sun pointed at Hina beside him and said, "Amano has to go to class tomorrow, I have to take her home tonight."

"In that case, I won't bother Mr. Ou and Ms. Amano."

High school students nowadays have a very hard time. If you drive back to Tokyo now, it will be seven or eight o'clock when you arrive at the destination, and you have to go to class right away without any rest. It is not easy for Miss Amano either. She has to do such hard and dangerous work while taking care of her studies.

Hina looks relatively mature, and when she introduced herself, she did not tell her age, which led Yuno to mistakenly believe that Hina was a 17 or 18-year-old high school student who was facing the challenge of the university entrance examination.

"Wait a minute, the exorcist from Tokyo." Kadota pushed the wheelchair over.

"Where's that woman?"

"Compared to those monsters, the woman who can chop monsters to death like tofu is more terrifying and dangerous."

"It has been dealt with. I probably won't come back here in the future." Ouyang Xuan did not lie.

"Hey, hey, hey, we paid for it, how can you say it's our responsibility—" Kadota was about to say something when the wheelchair under him started moving.

"Mino! What do you want to do!?"

"Mr. Kadota, I think you must be sleepy." Mino pushed Kadota's wheelchair and walked quickly towards the door. "Look at you, you're so sleepy that you're talking nonsense. Stop talking and go to sleep now. We're going to start a new job tomorrow!"

"Stop, I haven't asked that guy yet, the girl who kills monsters—"

"Yamada, come and shut up Mr. Kadota and stop him from offending anyone! Hurry up!"

With his mouth covered, Kadota was pushed out of the door in a wheelchair. Mino, who was covering Kadota's mouth, turned back and gave Ouyang Shun an apologetic smile before leaving, apologizing to Ouyang Shun on behalf of the bad-tempered Kadota.

"Be careful, it's still raining outside. Don't push too fast, the road is slippery!" Yuno said in panic.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm very familiar with the roads in the village. I won't fall so easily!"

Minong had just finished speaking when a huge bolt of lightning struck, illuminating most of the sky. Then there was a deafening thunder. Minong, who was pushing a wheelchair, shuddered in fear, slipped, and fell to the ground with a thud, his nose hitting the soft soil in the countryside.

“Mino!!”

"It hurts, it hurts." Mino struggled to get up, his body covered in mud.

"You fell down right after you finished speaking. What bad luck, don't you think, Mr. Kadota..."

Kadota, who was supposed to be sitting in a wheelchair right in front of Mino, and the wheelchair were gone.

When Mino fell, his body fell forward, and the wheelchair he was pushing suddenly gained acceleration, carrying Kadota downhill. Finally, in the rainy Mino and under the watchful eyes of the people taking shelter in the tourist association, Kadota and his wheelchair plunged into the farmland on the side of the road.

"Mr. Kadota." Yuno said Kadota's name in shock, then immediately reacted, "Mr. Kadota!"
