A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

On the contrary, Akang frowned when he saw the corpse, and waved his hands to ask his subordinates to carry it away and bury it.Even his brain is completely destroyed, that guy Jimmy really won't leave him any chance... But he naturally has other plans, and Akon always has a backup plan.

While maintaining the telekinetic restraint on Henry, he reached out and took a bat from his subordinate.

"This bat is an antique. It is very memorable. It is said to be a championship team home run bat... But I don't know. I only bought it because it was expensive. Did you know, Henry, Russia sold 50 this year. Thousands of bats, but only one baseball sold. That’s what bats are for!”

While talking, Akon swung the bat violently, and the thing hit the temple on the side of Henry's head with a strong wind sound.

No matter how solid his structure is, no matter how reliable his information system is, he cannot withstand such a violent blow.

There was a high-frequency buzzing sound in his ears, and the scene in front of him suddenly became distorted, turning into a sheet of colored mosaics, and then into darkness.

Some part of the body is beeping the alarm, and Akon's words come from the other functioning ear: "My favorite thing to see is your pain...that's awesome."

Immediately afterwards, Henry received another blow to the other side of the head.

His consciousness instantly sank into the bottomless deep sea, and the atomic battery in his chest failed to make his body move again.Strange sensations flooded the information system, including the brief frames of Estelle dancing on him, the warm darkness, and the strange smell left by plastic and metal being burned by the hot particle stream.

When his sensory organs gradually recovered, he found himself lying on the humus soil among the trees, surrounded by two soldiers wielding shovels.

Henry's field of vision was split into two and distorted into an angle that could not overlap. Presumably Akon's two heavy swings affected his visual "organs".

"How could... still have consciousness..."

He thought so.

In the scans Max made of him, his head was a skull made of metal.Because that set of equipment is specially used to scan the robot, so I can't distinguish anything other than the mechanical system on his body, and I don't know what is inside the skull... Eyes, ears, these are electronic devices, they produce How did the electrical signal from his brain reach his processing center and be converted into corresponding sensations?His wife said that he died and was rebuilt, so to what extent was he "dead"?

Ordinary people who suffer such a heavy blow to the head, let alone wake up, may not even be able to survive!

But even if his consciousness is still alive, his condition is not so good.

The beeping sound of unknown parts inside was still going on, and he couldn't direct any part of his body to move. He could only look at the field of vision that was divided into two halves. The soldiers of Akon were digging probably to The pit in which he was buried.

Just as he was thinking silently, he saw from the corner of his vision a guy with sloppy clothes and messy hair and beard walking towards him, saying, "What are you digging for?"

Of course, one of the soldiers dropped his shovel, pointed his gun at the guy, and shouted: "Stop, get away if you don't want to die!"

The familiar cheap British accent continued: "Okay, okay, there's no need to point a gun at me, I'm just in the woods with my girlfriend... oh shit, what is that?"

This clumsy lie actually tricked the soldier into looking back involuntarily.

The tramp-like guy in front of him who didn't seem to have any threat suddenly jumped up, and a cold light flashed from his dirty sleeves, piercing along the connection between the soldier's shoulder and neck, causing him to fall to the ground without a sound .

Another soldier who was still digging a hole on the other side just raised his head, and before he could say "WTF", he was wrapped around his neck by a steel wire flying from nowhere behind him, screaming and being dragged to nowhere.

The tramp... or the hippie, smoking a cigarette in his mouth calmly, squatted down in front of Henry.

"It's me... I'm Jimmy. Brother, you're too badly injured. I have to pull you back to my lab to fully recover... Now I have to let you move a little bit, otherwise it will be very difficult to transport." Trouble. It must not feel good to be beaten to death... I also died for you again."

While talking, Jimmy shook his head, took out some screwdrivers, saw blades, screwdrivers and other things, pushed Henry's head aside, and started to work.

Henry felt a pain coming from the end of his limbs, and suddenly his fingers could move again.

He trembled twice, struggling to write a word on the soil beside him with his fingers.

"Door".

Chapter 15 Half Mech, Half Flesh

"You two... really make people don't know what to say."

In the tavern, Xue Li put down the cup in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

Among the few people sitting in front of him, Henry was the worst. In addition to getting blood all over his face again, his joints would make a "creak, creak" sound when they moved.When he entered the door, it was the bishop who saw that he was not in the right condition, and went up to help him, otherwise he would be walking crookedly.

He also brought in another person, all in tatters, with long hair and beard tied up in tangles, and he didn't know who it was... The guy fell down quickly as soon as he came in. After the bishop checked, he gave One conclusion: downtime.

"That's a bionic person... Although he is more human than me and is probably composed of real flesh and blood tissue, he is still not independent. There is a receiving device behind his head. I don't know what kind of communication it is receiving. It can only be confirmed that it needs to maintain a connection with the 'master' to act."

Bishop said so.

So it's a matter of course... When he came to this tavern that couldn't communicate directly with any world, this guy hit his head on the ground.Strictly speaking, this is not considered a shutdown. After all, his driving force is still there, but there is no signal, so it can only be called standby.

Sitting on the other side of the bar is Max. Although this guy is in good spirits, he is obviously not much better... The metal exoskeleton is connected to him in a rough way, specifically, each of his main parts The nerve nodes are all embedded in the electronic data interface. The operation process is probably to cut the skin and flesh, stuff things in, bandage to stop the bleeding, and the job is over.

Now it is a hydraulic exoskeleton that is mounted outside his body and receives the electrical signals in his nerves through the data interface and converts them into actions.

This thing must be able to greatly enhance Max's strength, speed and other body functions, otherwise it would have no meaning at all; from the appearance, the exoskeleton armor is still hung with weapon systems and armor, although the power and protection cannot be seen. How about the strength... But the manufacturing cost is here, at least it can't be worse than a tank, right?Otherwise, why use it?

If "Spider" were here, maybe he would proudly tell the people present what a "single-soldier rail gun" is.

In addition to the obvious external interface of the nerve cord that connects from the bottom of the brain to the spine and coccyx, there is a complete set of electronic components on the inner side of the arm of this metal skeleton, including a display screen, an operation panel, an extendable antenna, and so on.

At first glance, after a lot of torture, Max has changed from an ordinary worker to a standard mechanical infantry.

Seeing that the two guests must have their own problems, Boss Xue thought for a while, and took out a pen and paper first, and asked the one who was more miserable: "You...should be in urgent need of treatment now, right? Is that your friend in the back? Why? Do you have to borrow my place to block his signal?"

It is not accurate to say that the treatment is not sure, maybe it should be called "maintenance".

The important thing is the latter question. For a smart person like Boss Xue, of course he can see that Henry did it on purpose... Henry, who has been to other worlds, will not understand the characteristics of the tavern. He can only use this characteristic to achieve his goal on purpose.

Henry pointed to his head, his heart, and his eyes, made a "surveillance" gesture, and wrote on the paper: "Jimmy, wife, enemy."

It seems that everyone in that world has a way to know his location. After thinking about it, it is only possible that his body was tampered with before he was "resurrected".Apart from Jimmy, who designed the energy supply system, the only one who has this ability is Estelle, who actually rebuilt him. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Akon bribed the employees in the laboratory.

The most important thing is that when he enters Akon's laboratory in his own world, he always has a sense of déjà vu... The laboratory does not matter from the setting of the functional area, the uniforms of the personnel, the tools used, or even the design of the tables and chairs. The shape and the logo on some equipment are exactly the same as the laboratory floating in the sky that he saw when he woke up.

And the expression on her face when he found his wife... She may think that she has acted very well, but Henry, who was already skeptical, still found something wrong.

First of all, there was something wrong with her not saying a word, and secondly, she didn't seem excited or frightened, and she didn't show any expression that she should have in that situation at all.

Secondly, when A Kang appeared behind him, he was paying attention to his wife's reaction.It's not that he was suspicious of her at that time, it's just that he wanted to make sure that there was no air circulation system in the glass cover, and whether he could open it through there.

Estelle showed no surprised expression, and she didn't turn her eyes to the group of people who appeared suddenly, which was really unreasonable.

After being rescued by Jimmy from the small woods in the suburbs, he connected these situations with the previous suspicious points one by one, no matter how stupid he was, he could roughly guess what was going on.

Back to Jimmy, since he is the designer of the power system, no one stipulated that he would only leave a back door in the system, right?

After Henry was knocked down with a stick by Akon, how did Jimmy, who logically should have lost track of him, find him in the woods in the suburbs where it is easy to get lost if you walk ten meters?

People always have subconscious trust in their own bodies, and Henry did the same at the beginning. He never expected that there would be any equipment such as trackers buried in his body.

But once this kind of trust was broken, he immediately thought that the people who dealt with it had enough opportunities and reasons to do this kind of thing, and it was very likely that everyone in the world could know at any time that he was in the world except himself. where.

It's no wonder that I always fail again and again, being led by the nose, and all my actions are monitored by others, how could it end well!

The one who was most sincere to him was that lunatic Akang, who made no secret of his hatred and destructive desire.

Now he doesn't want to go back to his own world for the time being, and he can let go of saving his wife and so on... He doesn't plan to continue his actions until he has figured out the whole thing.

"I need to go again." He glanced at Max sitting next to him, and continued to write on the paper with trembling fingers.

Repairing one's body in another world seems to be the safest.

But this time Max can't help him. The guy wearing the exoskeleton gave a wry smile and said, "I've been fired, and after just making a vote, it's impossible to go to the factory again in a short time. No Materials and tools that can be used to repair your body. In addition, I am also here to ask for help this time."

Immediately afterwards, he fluently told everyone what he had done in the past two days and what he planned to do in that magnetic voice.

After deciding to do it and accepting the transformation, Spider had already told him about his plan to hijack Carlisle... Unfortunately, that plan was full of loopholes.

As the executive president of ARMADYNE and the important figure that the Civil Cooperation Administration has to focus on, Max doesn't believe that Carlisle can be handled with just a set of exoskeletons.Especially, you don't want to destroy his ship, but to capture him alive and get the information in his head...

Max, who is very familiar with all kinds of criminal methods, quickly helped Spider formulate a new plan.

To put it simply, it is the kind that creates troubles in the company's property first, and it is the kind that Carlisle has to come to solve in person; after he arrives, check whether he has accompanying force, if not, then use enough force to directly solve it on the spot Take him down; if there is one, try to get those force entangled Mr. Carlisle, who hates the foul air of the surface, to get back to the Bliss Nowhere as soon as possible, and ambush him on his return journey.

There are quite a few people under the spider, but these guys who are honored as "resistance organizations" by Elysium Space...their organization and combat effectiveness are not separated from the surface level.

Even if these people have some basic combat qualities due to long-term "off-the-job actual combat training", they may not be able to implement this plan.

Therefore, Max also came to the tavern this time to seek help from other people. He also thought that if he met Henry again, he would invite this cyborg to fight in his world on the grounds of "saving your life"... The big deal He didn't want the 30 gold coins.

But when I came here, I found that Henry's situation was not optimistic, even worse than him.

Two men who had experienced different incidents, one was pale and only sweating, and the other had a creaking head and neck; the two could only look at each other, and turned their heads to the nosy boss Xue Li who liked to meddle most.

"...All right, I'll know." Xue Li took a sip of tea, thinking about how to help.

The problems that plagued these two people were not difficult for him to solve.As far as he knows, both Ripley's world and Barbaria's world are technologically superior to the near future these two live in. It is completely possible to repair Henry or release super-standard weapons to other worlds. arrived.

It’s just that these two big brothers seem to be in a hurry, so this matter needs to be dealt with quickly... Let’s not talk about Max, the woman he likes and her daughter’s condition may deteriorate at any time. Tickets are useless; on Henry's side, he also has to heal himself quickly and get rid of all possible hidden dangers in his body, otherwise it is impossible to be A Kang's opponent.

Usually Max and Amelia go out, but this time Boss Xue decided to do it himself.

Speaking of which, I have been a little restless in the past few days. It may be that I have stayed in the tavern for a long time, and I need to move my legs and feet. I can't just stay at home and drink tea all day like a retired veteran cadre.

After calling his staff to give some instructions, he picked up the hippie who was lying on the ground and put him on the chair. Xue Li said to the two guests: "Wait for me to come back", then held the key, opened the door and left Into that darkness.
