"Mr. Ze Wei'er, you should know our identities; we were summoned by the Abyss Battlefield, so when the ti cos, we will return," Lu Heng directly revealed his identity, aiming to make Xavier Matrix let down his guard for an efficient discussion of the matters at hand.
The Sikes World was not seeing summoned extraterrestrial beings for the first ti, and the Sikes people could also be summoned.
Therefore, the term "summoned" was not sothing incomprehensible within the Sikes Civilization.
"I know you, with a very peculiar way of appearing, and just as peculiar when you leave," Xavier Matrix gave his evaluation.
"Because we will leave when it's ti, our ti is limited, and we hope to resolve so matters before departure," Lu Heng began to transition to the main topic.
"You say, if I can help you," Xavier Matrix had previously received help, so he didn't mind returning the favor.
"The first matter, do you know Yeliana Sikes?" Lu Heng started with this question.
As Yeliana Sikes had requested that Xavier Matrix be captured and brought to her, Lu Heng didn't intend to do so.
Even if he wanted to, the difficulty was trendous.
After all, there was no need to take the risk for sothing that even the Sikes Military couldn't accomplish.
Moreover, his contact with this mad scientist was currently good; turning hostile abruptly was aningless.
Xavier Matrix, upon hearing the na Yeliana Sikes, fell silent for a mont before he answered, "I know her, but to be precise, I know her father, Lakrini Sikes."
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows at this reply, guessing what it might be about, but still listened for him to continue.
"I and Lakrini Sikes were both scientists researching chanical life, but our research directions differed. About fifteen years ago, I and Lakrini discovered the existence of the Abyss, and we captured a Demon to study..."
Xavier Matrix began to slowly recount his story with Lakrini Sikes:
"Later, Lakrini believed that the Abyss would destroy our civilization, and he wanted to chase the source of the Abyss, so he left the Capital Star Circle.
"I, on the other hand, discovered a peculiar substance that was of great help to my research on chanical life.
"So, we parted ways to pursue our own research, and I later heard that he went to an extragalactic system, losing contact after that.
"There were rumors that he went missing, and his daughter, Yeliana, ca to ask about his whereabouts.
"I hadn't received any ssages from Lakrini since our farewell, so I didn't know his whereabouts either.
"Later, Yeliana got news from sowhere, suspecting that I had deceived her father into going to the extragalactic system, leading to his disappearance.
"For a while after, she saw as an enemy, and no matter how I tried to explain, it was futile.
"Afterward, because my research project violated the chanical Life Act, I was pursued by the military and had to hide.
"About a year ago, the officials suddenly received a ssage from Lakrini, warning the civilization of the Abyss invasion.
"I have listened to that recording, and if your voice hasn't been disguised, I believe that recording was sent by you."
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "So the first ti we t when you invited into your ho as a guest was for this reason too?"
Xavier Matrix admitted, "That's one of the reasons."
"And then?"
"Later, due to Lakrini's warning, Yeliana was endorsed by the Escape Faction, elected as the new leader, and she hasn't forgotten to search for . Because of Lakrini's demise, she is even more convinced that I caused her father's death," Xavier Matrix said with a tone of helplessness.
Lu Heng pretty much understood the situation and frankly said, "Yeliana hoped that I could bring you to see her, of course, whether you want to see her is your choice to make freely, I'm only conveying the ssage."
Xavier Matrix nodded and responded, "Thank you, I will consider it."
Lu Heng continued to inquire about the second matter, "Additionally, there is the issue regarding the Demon experints; the Sikes Military found parts like a Demon's horn and nails in your underground lab, and they believe you have been conducting illegal research."
Xavier Matrix admitted frankly, "As a scientist, studying the material composition of Demons to understand the Abyss is necessary; I don't think there's anything wrong with such research."
Lu Heng then asked, "So, have you been researching chanical transformations of Demons?"
Xavier Matrix shook his head, denying, "No, Demons are creatures with highly extre behaviors and personalities, and they are not suitable as the carriers of thoughts. If one were to modify Demons, the first thing to clear would be their thinking organs, not their limbs."
Lu Heng could understand his line of thinking, so by hearing this explanation, he could confirm that Xavier Matrix had not been researching chanical Demons.
"What about the case in Gaseous Street? I saw a Spiritual Power Enhancent Module there, which is not existing technology of the Sikes Civilization."
Xavier Matrix shook his head once again, "That incident has nothing to do with , I've also watched the news, and just like you deduced, I also believe it was the work of Demons.
"In City 3, there must be people conducting research related to Demons, perhaps even dosticating them.
"As for the Spiritual Power Enhancent Module, I have indeed been researching the field of spiritual power, but so are other scientists who are conducting similar research."
