He took one step forward.
The figure left a faint afterimage in place before disappearing instantly.
When Isaka Shinkuro turned around in horror, Su Chen had already appeared behind him like a ghost.
The locust-shaped blade in his hand had already silently pierced through the chest of the weather-mixed creature.
There was no excruciating pain, only a chilling feeling of being completely broken down.
Just before Isaka Shinkuro's body was about to be completely disintegrated by the violent energy, Su Chen heard the emotionless notification from System 01 in his mind.
[Target memory location locked... Data acquisition in progress...]
[Weather memory data has been 100% collected.]
Having obtained what he wanted, Su Chen no longer held back.
His hand, which was gripping the locust's sharp blade, suddenly trembled.
An irresistible, violent energy of decomposition erupted instantly, centered on the blade.
"what--!"
With a piercing scream so shrill it was inhuman, the once invincible Weather Mixture, along with the Gaia Memory within him that carried Earth's memories, was completely decomposed from the material level into the most primitive data particles.
The particles danced in the air for a moment, like fireflies on a summer night, before completely dissipating and disappearing from the world forever.
As the last piece of data of Isaka Shinkuro was completely decomposed, the raging wind and lightning that had been entrenched in the backstage area of the theater vanished instantly, like a stream whose source had been cut off.
The surrounding air returned to a deathly silence.
Su Chen's figure slowly emerged from the energy particles, his armor receded, and he returned to his human form.
Apart from the mess left by the fierce battle, there was no trace of the weather contaminant in the entire space.
Broken props were scattered on the ground, the walls were covered with gruesome scorch marks, and a faint smell of ozone lingered in the air.
Lily's crisis has been completely resolved.
He turned around, his cold gaze sweeping over the figure hiding in the shadows.
Lily huddled there, her body trembling violently with uncontrollable fear, her beautiful face streaked with tears, and her eyes filled with awe and unfamiliarity as she looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen did not walk over.
He simply raised his hand from a distance and made a reassuring gesture to her.
This gesture is simple, yet it carries an unquestionable sense of command.
Having done all this, he turned around and left the dilapidated theater without a second thought.
For him, the battle was over, and the aftermath was never something he needed to worry about.
01 Technology Company, Top-Level Laboratory.
The cold light illuminated the space made of metal and glass; this was Su Chen's absolute territory.
As soon as he returned, he immediately retrieved the complete data of the "weather memory" that he had just collected from Isaka Shinkuro.
The moment the command was given, the holographic projection device in the center of the laboratory started up with a hum.
An unprecedented, dizzyingly complex, massive data model appeared out of thin air.
It's no longer just simple lines or charts.
It was a surging ocean of data.
The wind data transformed into a cyan tornado, swirling and roaring at the center of the model.
The raindrops condensed into a blue waterfall, cascading down from a great height.
Lei's data is a blinding purple lightning bolt, constantly appearing and disappearing, emitting a silent roar.
Electricity, ice, fog... all of Earth's memories of weather were presented to him in the purest, most primitive, and most violent form of data, without reservation.
This is a primal force, the breath of the planet, the might of nature.
"Iz, begin the analysis."
Su Chen's voice broke the silence of the laboratory. His eyes showed no signs of fatigue, but rather burned with an almost fanatical excitement.
"Yes, President."
The secretary-type Humagear, Iz, who had been standing quietly beside him, lit up her bright blue electronic eyes and immediately began to work.
A massive flow of data, like a flood bursting its banks, surged into her computing core.
In her eyes, countless codes and symbols flashed by at lightning speed, a speed that would put any supercomputer in the world to shame.
Su Chen quietly gazed at the ocean of data before him.
His gaze pierced through the violent facade and saw its deepest essence.
This powerful weather force was, to him, a "fruit" more precious than any ultimate weapon.
It represents a completely new system of power.
An evolutionary direction that is completely different from the 01 system and the acrylonitrile logic.
The power of 01 originates from the technological singularity, from the computation and evolution of data.
This power originates from the Earth itself, from the billions of years of accumulated memories on this planet.
"We must... make this power our own."
A strong desire surged within Su Chen's heart.
He immediately turned around and walked to his research and development platform, throwing himself wholeheartedly into the development of the new "Programming Key".
What he wants to do is not simply copy.
He intends to combine this powerful weather force, originating from Earth's memory, with the 01 system, representing the pinnacle of human technology, in an unprecedented and perfect fusion.
He wanted to create a brand new cassette tape that could truly harness the power of nature.
That will no longer be a mere simulation, but true domination.
He had a strong premonition that once this new key was successfully developed, his strength would once again experience a qualitative leap.
He will no longer be merely an agent of technology, but will become the master of the great power of nature.
Just as Su Chen was completely focused, his mind immersed in a sea of data and logic—
“Drip! Drip! Drip!”
Without warning, the red emergency communicator in the laboratory emitted a piercing alarm that could tear eardrums.
A blinding red light, like a heartbeat, flickered repeatedly on the smooth walls, staining the entire laboratory with an ominous crimson hue.
This is the dedicated hotline he assigned to the Narumi Detective Agency.
The most authoritative contact method is the one that can only be used in dire emergencies when the city is on the verge of collapse.
Su Cheng's brows furrowed instantly.
The displeasure at being interrupted, like a cold blade, flashed across his eyes.
He reached out and pressed the call button.
"Su Chen! Something terrible has happened! Philip... he's been kidnapped by that guy Da Dao Keji!"
An extremely anxious voice, even accompanied by heavy breathing, immediately burst out from the receiver.
It's Shotaro Hidari.
The anger, self-blame, and exhaustion in his voice were clearly discernible.
"They specifically requested that you go to Fengdu Tower alone immediately!"
"beep--"
Communications were cut off.
Su Chen slowly lowered his hand that was holding the receiver.
The temperature inside the laboratory seemed to plummet to freezing point in that instant.
The Great Way is to restrain oneself...
The name was quickly retrieved from his memory database.
The man who had a brief encounter with him in the Grand Prix of Desire, and who also possessed great power.
A variable that should have been treated as a past tense.
Su Chen's eyes turned incredibly cold in an instant; it was a pure, emotionless, chilling killing intent.
He slowly put down his research. The fervor and excitement for knowledge that had been in his eyes before had vanished, replaced by a bottomless, icy pool.
"The Great Way is to restrain oneself..."
He uttered the name in a low voice, calm yet enough to send a shiver down Izzy's spine from his core processor.
It seems that some people just don't like to be content with their lot.
There are always some foolish guys who like to test his limits in the most ridiculous ways.
Chapter 82: Emergency Call, Philip Arrested, Blade Sister's Power, Instantly Kills Moon Goddess
The piercing alarm, like a sharp steel needle, brutally shattered the laboratory's inherent tranquility.
Su Chen, who was completely absorbed in the massive amount of weather data, paused for a moment.
He slowly raised his head.
The data stream scrolled rapidly on the holographic screen in front of him, outlining the ever-changing weather map over the city, while a hint of extreme displeasure at being disturbed flashed in his eyes.
His gaze fell on a corner of the control panel.
The bright red emergency communicator was flashing red light frantically at a heart-stopping frequency.
This is the highest level of communication authority he granted to the Narumi Detective Agency.
An agreement.
Unless it's an extremely critical situation, a matter of life and death, Shotaro Hidari will never use it.
