Chapter 388: War Machine

"What do we do with him?" Cowboy asked as he pointed the tip of his shoe at Noah. "This guy looks like he's mentally impaired. Why did you get me to bring him out of prison as well?"

"You also look like someone who experiences more pain than joy," Noah remarked with a cold smile.

On the surface, Noah appeared to be quite disheveled and rather timid, but deep down, he was judging everything. If it weren't for the fact that wasn't an adapter, he would've already passed judgment on Cowboy.

"Send him to the veterinarian hospital in secret," Adam replied.

Adam had already grown numb to killing people, and having to kill an extra fugitive didn't weigh on his conscience at all.

He had brought Noah out of prison for that Angel of Judgment in his psychic world.

You've passed judgment on so many people and killed countless elderly people, so surely it's not too much for me to pass judgment on you once.

……

During the coming few days, Adam's status as a mayoral candidate of the northern congress was confirmed.

He was receiving a lot of votes online, and thanks to his popularity, he was able to squeeze his way into the top eight, but even with his current wave of relevance and popularity, he was still unable to climb any higher than seventh. Compared with the other candidates, all he had was some temporary fame, but his political nous certainly didn't inspire confidence in the general public.

"In any case, we've successfully completed the first step." Shae was in the office of the veterinarian hospital, looking at the online discussions as she remarked, "The people who haven't voted for you are mostly sitting on the fence. Before you make a substantial move, you're probably not going to get many more votes.

“If you want to earn more votes, then you'll have to do something that helps you garner more support. Recently, those killers have killed quite a few more public figures, and the general public is becoming more and more fearful by the day. Have you found any leads on this case?"

"I haven't, but Thilan has gathered some leads. Apparently, the killers will be on the move tonight, and they'll be targeting several celebrity creators of Dellers Animation."

"Dellers? That company that specializes in animations and virtual idols? I heard that their virtual meteorologist, Anne, has way more subscribers and viewers than all of the meteorologists working for the news. They also have many virtual celebrities, singers, and animated characters that are far more popular than human celebrities. If all of the creators of the company are killed, that would cause quite the panic..."

Having grown up as the daughter of the head of Golden Teeth Incorporated, Shae had a very in-depth understanding of the media sector.

"Not only are they going to kill all of the creators, they're going to delete all of the raw data of the virtual stars as well."

"If that's true, then this is a big problem," Shae replied. "If the original raw data or real-time data is deleted, even if there are backup copies, the data will inevitably be inaccurate, and that would make them lose their charm and humanity in the eyes of their fans.

“For all first-rate virtual idols, their real-time data is updated by artificial intelligence, so they remember every single interaction with every single viewer, and that's the advantage that virtual idols hold over human idols. They can even remember every single viewer that they've communicated with, and that data will have a bearing on their virtual personalities.

“If the original raw data is deleted, then the consequences would be catastrophic. Having said that, the raw data is all stored very securely, so this won't be an easy task. It looks like this is going to be a big operation for those killers."

"It will indeed be quite a major operation. Thilan really is a genius investigator. Without him, there are many things that I wouldn't be able to do."

"Where is he right now? I haven't seen him ever since you got out of prison," Shae said.

"He has to be really careful. After all, he made a really big mess last time, and there are many powerful adapters in the southern congress. In particular, if he gets cornered by an adapter of Madam Tree or Mr. One's caliber, then he'll be completely screwed. Thankfully, according to him, Mr. One is an extremely important figure, and even the head of the Hosman Family is five official ranks under him.

“In contrast, Thilan is nothing more than a lapdog of the Hosman Family, and his status can't even compare with that idiot, Emmanuel. There's such a vast disparity in their positions that Thilan has never even met Mr. One before. Even so, he's still doing some clean-up work and severing all of his contacts so that he doesn't catch the attention of these important figures.

“Hence, we can only communicate with him through confidential avenues, and we won't be able to meet him in the near future. Right now, we have to focus on what we're doing. We have to use this information and take advantage of our resources to complete our objectives. Looking at the time, our helpers should be here soon..."

Sure enough, around 10 minutes later, three visitors with no pets entered the veterinarian hospital.

They made their way around the hall and arrived directly at the office area before knocking on the door.

After being granted entry, one of them declared, "Greetings, Mr. Adam, we've been sent here to help you by Commander. Prior to coming here, we've already passed the special psychic police examination and obtained the relevant qualifications, so you can rest assured on that front."

The visitors were very direct and straightforward in their way of speech, and that, coupled with their immaculate postures, indicated to Adam that they were from the military.

"You came right in time. We just so happen to be making a move tonight." Adam rose to his feet with a nod, then shook the hands of the three visitors one by one as he offered a friendly self-introduction. "My name is Adam."

"Patriot."

"Flame."

"Thunderbird."

As opposed to their actual names, it was clear that these three preferred to use their military nicknames.

"It seems like all of you like to get things done fast. I'm the exact same, so let's not waste any time with pleasantries. Show me what you're capable of."

Adam extended an arm forward as he spoke, and the three visitors immediately followed suit without any hesitation.

As soon as their arms made contact with one another, all four of them instantly arrived on a battlefield in the psychic world.

The battlefield appeared to be situated in a radiation zone, and there was nothing in the surrounding area aside from desert and mutated plants.

Adam was faced with three war machines that resembled mechas, all of which were over seven meters tall, with the tallest of them exceeding 15 meters in height.

Aside from their enormous statures, the three war machines were also armed with all types of weapons, including modern technological weapons, as well as hyper modern weapons that only existed in movies and animations.

These three giant war machines were the psychic bodies of the three soldiers.

Adam could tell at a single glance that the psychic bodies of these three were extremely powerful, but as for exactly how powerful they were, there was only one way for him to find out.

With that in mind, Adam quickly fused with Sludge to transform into a giant that stood at 12 meters in height.

Thus, the three mechas were pitted against a mythological creature, and a battle was imminent.
