"You guys should hurry up and put on the Power Armor too. Unless it’s really necessary, don’t take it off," Yang Yuan said.
"Okay."
Zhao Jiayan imdiately led Jiang Yiyi to put on their Power Armor as well.
It only takes a few minutes to activate the first ti you wear it.
After that, you can wear it in seconds.
Yang Yuan patiently waited for the two won to co out before asking Zhao Jiayan, "Do you know about Lu i?"
"Lu i?"
Zhao Jiayan thought for a mont, "I think I saw her once before, what’s wrong?"
"Lu i is here at the Technology Association, and you didn’t know?" Yang Yuan was puzzled, suspecting that Zhao Jiayan might have been sidelined.
But it was clear he was overthinking.
Zhao Jiayan took out a tablet, checked it, and then said with a complex expression, "A while ago, the dical departnt took in a ntal health patient. Although her face wasn’t clear, it should be her. Do you want to go see?"
Yang Yuan pondered slightly, "Let’s go take a look. I feel sothing’s not right."
"What’s not right?" Zhao Jiayan asked in confusion.
Yang Yuan didn’t know how to explain, so he joked with a smile, "I’ve always heard that ntal hospitals have new ways to abuse patients, let’s see if it’s true."
Zhao Jiayan rolled her eyes, but said no more and led the way forward.
This ti Jiang Yiyi didn’t follow, as Dai Changlan took her away for so forced lessons.
Because the little girl was too talented and had a photographic mory, Dai Changlan didn’t want her to waste her ti.
So lately, the little girl had been studying all the ti. Her knowledge base was already comparable to that of a general expert or PhD, only lacking work experience.
...
"Is the Technology Association’s territory that big?"
On the way, Yang Yuan asked in surprise, "The place I saw before was thousands of miles away. Lu i shouldn’t be going that far, right?"
"The dical departnt is not here but in another place."
Zhao Jiayan was about to activate the Power Armor’s flight mode when she suddenly thought of Yang Yuan’s door, "How does that door of yours work? Can it take us there directly?"
"Just show which place it is, and I can take us there," Yang Yuan replied.
"You just need to see it?" Zhao Jiayan was surprised.
"Yes, that’s all I need," Yang Yuan nodded.
"Then take to the air, and I’ll guide you," Zhao Jiayan said.
Yang Yuan imdiately embraced Zhao Jiayan’s waist and slowly rose into the air.
Because he didn’t use the Power Armor’s thrust and was carrying an additional person, his ascent was much slower, but he could still rise hundreds of ters per second.
Soon, the two arrived near the cloud layer.
Zhao Jiayan pointed ahead, "It’s in that direction, halfway up the mountain, at a white dot on the Power Armor’s radar terrain map."
"White dot?" Yang Yuan was puzzled.
Zhao Jiayan explained, "The radar on the Power Armor can’t scan the Technology Association’s base but can identify reference points. That white dot is the snow-covered mountain where the dical departnt is located."
Yang Yuan nodded, opened the Door of Arbitrariness, and led Zhao Jiayan inside.
...
Duobei Snow Mountain, the Technology Association’s dical departnt base.
Upon arriving, Yang Yuan noticed that the number of robots and soldiers wearing Power Armor had increased significantly.
Many of the soldiers wore the sa style of Power Armor as those who had captured Lu i.
It seed like this was indeed the place.
"In the Technology Association, you must understand one thing: here, the hierarchy is based on authority and not personal identity, because here, changing appearance or even the body entirely is not difficult."
As Zhao Jiayan continued walking, she introduced the situation to Yang Yuan, "You know about clones, right?"
"Of course," Yang Yuan nodded.
Zhao Jiayan said, "The Technology Association has significant authority over clones. There was a ti when they specialized in the business of clones."
"Business of clones? How is that done? Is it doing business with clones?" Yang Yuan asked curiously.
Zhao Jiayan glanced at him and chuckled, "Back then, the Technology Association provided clone bodies to those with possession abilities for them to possess."
"Possession?"
Yang Yuan was taken aback, "Is this an ability, or sothing achievable at a certain level?"
"It’s an ability,"
Zhao Jiayan explained, "From my research, theoretically, a strong enough person needs a corresponding physical body to house their soul. Possessing a weaker body is impossible as it would make the brain explode. Normally, those capable of possession are at least Celestial-level Creatures, but the Technology Association can’t create celestial-level clones."
Yang Yuan suddenly understood, "So the business the Technology Association did in the past was with Superpower Users who awakened the ability to possess others?"
"Yes,"
Zhao Jiayan said, "The Technology Association back then had a mixed staff with all kinds of people. Later, soone set a trap, captured the possessing Superpower User, and developed a possession technology. Because of this, changing bodies in the Technology Association beca very easy, which tarnished its reputation. Eventually, it split, with one part dedicated to research and another forming an Empire."
"Empire?!" Yang Yuan furrowed his brows slightly.
The relationship between the Empire and the Technology Association was that close?
"The current Empire, in a sense, can also be considered a ’Cloned Empire,’ because the Imperial Soldiers you see every day are actually cloned soldiers."
Zhao Jiayan explained, "Now, the relationship between the Technology Association and the Empire is known only to the higher-ups. Publicly, the Technology Association and the Alliance have beco allies, so the Technology Association and the Empire have beco enemies."
