Legend of the Cyber Heroes Chapter 144 - 144 64 Knight Bengel

144: Chapter 64: Knight Bengel 144: Chapter 64: Knight Bengel This city had long been filled with a vast number of broiler chickens.

And these broiler chickens, without even realizing it, possessed permissions that were constantly engaged in unwittingly carrying out illegal operations.

This discovery left Mr.

Lessing, the leader of the Mona Scientific Knight Order, feeling a chill of fright.

It wasn’t that Mr.

Lessing was terribly afraid that the master of Internal Strength would take the broiler chickens hostage for a DDOS attack.

The resources at the disposal of the Scientific Knight Order were enormous, beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Their electronic equipnt’s pressure resistance was so strong that manipulating a few civilian Prosthetic Bodies wouldn’t bring them down with a DDOS attack.

However, the attacks from a master of Internal Strength were never limited to just DDOS.

Having an individual that resembled a ghost or specter moving around at your bedside was terrifying in itself.

Thus, for the past month or two, the majority of the broiler chickens had been under close surveillance.

Not long ago, the ard forces of the Gene Bank, with most of the city’s military power, had gone to exterminate an old Hero who fell from the Jupiter sector to this place.

Therefore, the Mona Knight Order could only dispatch their own private ard force to carry out further investigations.

As Ya Pining Zhao was currently under the protection of the Mona Knight Order, his Secretary Officer, Ming Jing, was also seconded to the Scientific Knight Order to participate in these surveillance activities.

Naturally, repeated operations yielded nothing.

Until today.

Today, the civil protection forces received a report saying that a Hero was hiding within a city block.

After comparing intelligence, the Protectors concluded that these Heroes were the sa ones who had escaped after killing the Tax Officer Bernini.

When this group of Heroes fled, they “might” have been aided by that mysterious master.

Hence, a Military Officer equipped against Internal Strength went to test those Heroes.

Then, that Military Officer died there.

“Goodness,” sighed Mr.

Bengel—as in this era, this word was roughly equivalent to “My God,”—”To be honest, I can’t imagine what you are doing.

Wasting precious energy while rely walking the streets with a large military force?

I truly wish you had been nearby when Steven died.”

But this was rely a complaint.

Steven was the Military Officer who died today.

He was killed amidst the Iron Dust.

And after the enemy retreated, the troops didn’t realize that their leader had died.

Because the enemy left behind a few tape recorders, playing minutes of battle effects.

The soldiers, lacking complete intelligence, didn’t make the assessnt in ti.

By the ti the main forces of the Protectors learned of Steven’s death, the attacker had already left.

This was an unavoidable digital impassion.

Mr.

Bengel probably knew this, so he didn’t impose harsher punishnts.

He simply asked these Military Officers to submit a report about the operation and then waved them away.

Only Secretary Officer Ming Jing stayed behind.

The Secretary Officer said, “As per my schedule, I will continue to assist Young Master Yaningping.

Please let go to him.”

“Oh,” Mr.

Bengel nodded nonchalantly.

Apart from when he scolded those Military Officers, he had always spoken in this tone, seemingly indifferent.

From the beginning till now, he hadn’t even turned around, only standing there with his hands behind him, looking at that mud tablet.

Well…To be accurate, it was a piece of synthetic amber.

This mud tablet was completely wrapped in a transparent solid substance with a refractive index close to that of air.

It originally belonged to the seabed floor.

Many years ago, soone dove to the seabed, surrounded it with a mold, then slowly drew the seawater and poured in this transparent substance and waited for it to solidify before bringing it up.

Even a bizarre mollusk was encased within this mud tablet.

In an even older era, this was unimaginably luxurious.

For Mr.

Bengel, this was a rare pleasure.

However, for so reason, as Secretary Officer looked at the back of this Scientific Knight, a chill ran down his spine.

Yet, he still mustered the courage to speak up, “So, Mr., regarding the matters of this experintal cycle, I think we can still have another round of consultations.”

“What would you have do, sir?” The man finally turned around.

From behind, dressed in a white lab coat, he closely resembled a Natural Person, but when he turned around, the face he revealed was a tallic one.

No expression, no eyes, almost devoid of any function.

From the side, the head also appeared flatter than that of a normal person.

This was simply a decorative elent, symbolizing the “humanity” and “virtue” of the Scientific Knights.

The brains of the Scientific Knights, more developed than those of ordinary people, were not located in the cranial cavity but in the chest cavity of the prosthetic body.

It is said that this tradition only erged in the late stages of the Sublimation War.

The first generation of remodelers, out of habit, placed the brain inside the skull, which led to seven or eight of the ten moves of the Assassination Fist targeting the head.

It was precisely to counter this situation that later modifications involved not placing the brain within the skull.

However, this was a modification that needed to be completed in one go and also required specialized modification of the brainstem.

Including most Protectors, the majority of people underwent modifications gradually from childhood, rather than all at once.

This was not a necessary modification.

By today, with the high developnt of Martial Studies, it had even beco a re custom, indicating “the extre importance of the Scientific Knight’s brain.”

Mr.

Bengel said, “In fact, I have also given full consideration to Ya Pining Zhao’s ntal health and allowed him ample rest, right?

And until now, I have given him the option to opt out anyti.

If he wishes, I could completely terminate the experint.”

The Secretary Officer did not speak but thought to himself, “Yeah, right.”

The resources invested in each experint by the Scientific Knights were enough to alarm the staff of the Gene Bank’s defense force.

And if soone wanted to withdraw from an experint out of personal fear, refusing further exploration, that would amount to a waste of the resources of the Scientific Knight Order.

Perhaps ordinary people would not think much of it, but for those aspiring to rise within the ard defense, the attitude of the Scientific Knight Order could be a matter of life and death.

Since an experintal cycle had begun, Ya Pingning would definitely not dare to withdraw halfway.

“But this ti, the situation is special…”

“Special situation?

Did I create this special situation?” retorted Mr.

Bengel.

“Isn’t it because that little boy knew his sister was killed and got so scared that he ran here, insisting on staying in our lab?”

The Secretary Officer lowered his head.

That was indeed the case.

A few days ago, Deborah Zhao had suddenly disappeared.

Before her last signal transmission, she had entered an area covered by Iron Dust.

After that, no further ssages were received.

Hours later, the Heavenly Punishnt System, based on the size of the Iron Dust area, determined there was no possibility of survival for Deborah and her group, and consequently used the Heavenly Punishnt System to cleanse that area.

This ssage naturally reached here.

Mr.

Bengel had only sighed at the ti, feeling that Deborah, his apprentice, had died too irresponsibly, without handing over the experintal data.

This absence had unnecessarily increased the workload for the entire Order of Knights.

But unexpectedly, that very night, Ya Pingning Zhao had co seeking to move ahead with the next phase of the Mona Project experint.

Only then did Mr.

Bengel rember that Ya Pingning had recently taken up the position of Tax Officer and had moved out of the Pine Eagle Building to an independent official residence.

This residence was located on the 126th floor of the Walnut Wood Building, precisely where the forr Tax Officer, Bernini, had been killed.

He had been muttering, “That hero killed Deborah…

he will definitely co to kill ,” in a way that was quite baffling.

Mr.

Bengel initially thought this ntal state might interfere with the experints.

However, Young Master Ya Pingning was earnest in his plea, hoping to continue the Mona Project research to leverage the combat force of the Scientific Knight Order for his own protection.

Owing to Deborah’s unauthorized death, Mr.

Bengel had initially lacked a favorable impression of the Zhao family, but Ya Pingning was quite sincere, and coupled with his own interest in the “Replication Process of Pseudo-Personality Masks under Extre ntal Stress,” he was montarily moved and agreed to this request.

To enhance the security of the iyii Building, the Secretary Officer, Ming Jing, was also temporarily assigned to the Scientific Knight Order’s disposal.

The Secretary Officer said, “However, the ultimate aning of the Mona Project is the ‘Mona Recognition System.’ If Young Master Ya Pingning becos completely lost, you would also lose progress, right?

I at least hope…”

“Obedience is a virtue, Secretary Officer,” Mr.

Bengel said indifferently, “Please trust the judgnt of more professional individuals.

We are not interested in torturing a boy to the point of breakdown.

Similarly, if he dies, I would also lose progress without cause.

After all, not many individuals who have received complete Martial Studies education can properly understand the ‘Thousand-Faced Hero To.’ In this regard, you, I, and that young Master are natural allies, understand?”

“This matter concerns my qualification for the title of Round Table Knight.

I will be even more concerned about it than you are.”

Above the Official Knight and below the Great Knight, there are many types of honorary titles.

For instance, “Holy Knight” recognizes extrely talented young Scientific Knights who have achieved remarkable success before the age of forty.

Corresponding to the “Holy Knight” is the “Royal Knight,” awarded specifically to old knights with distinguished service.

The more common “Yangtze Knight,” however, is a core mber of the research community, eligible to independently apply for significant funding.

An Official Knight bearing the title of either “Holy Knight” or “Yangtze Knight” is still considered an “Official Knight” in rank but is held in higher regard than a regular Official Knight.

Every Official Knight promoted to Great Knight has earned one or two such honorary titles.

The “Round Table Knight,” anwhile, encourages those Official Knights who excel in laboratory managent.

The Secretary Officer lowered his head again.

Mr.

Bengel continued, “Ah, right.

According to the schedule, it’s ti for the boy to rest now.

If you have objections to this plan, why not go and talk to him directly, how about that?”
