Chapter 1670: King of Puppets
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Living substances such as blood, flesh, and cells were completely different from dead objects such as crystals and tals in the feedback of spiritual waves.
With this feature, ng Chao easily scanned the limbs and bones of the auto chanic, which were all embedded with strengthened joints made of alloy.
One of his legs had been completely replaced with a tal fra from the pelvis to the ankle. The interior of the tal fra seed to be embedded with a blade as thin as a cicada’s wing. If necessary, it could tear through the flesh and rip itself out.
On top of that, ng Chao also found that this guy’s vertebrae had been implanted with rings that looked like optical cables.
The objects spiraled up from his tailbone all the way to the brain.
!!
Hundreds of tal wires were separated from the vertebrae and perfectly connected to the different parts of the guy’s brain.
In addition, there were two shocking scars on both sides of his back as if he had been gutted by a monster.
These implants had probably been stuffed into his body when that happened.
“What kind of radical modification has this guy done to himself?”
ng Chao clicked his tongue secretly.
Artificial limbs were very well-developed in Dragon City.
In the past, people would often get chanical arms and legs that were inlaid with crystals and engraved with runes after their limbs were damaged. They did not even need artificial skin to wrap them up. They simply flashed their chanical limbs and swaggered around the city.
Although the artificial limbs did not have a high combat limit and were not like the cells of a human body, which could withstand overloading spirit energy after training,they were more than enough for daily life, production, and regular battles.
However, all kinds of suspicious implants had been stuffed into this man’s internal organs and even the depths of his brain. Such a shocking modification was beyond ng Chao’s imagination.
“Wait a minute. The implants in this guy’s brain seem to be so kind of... signal receiving chip?”
ng Chao was aware that a chip embedded in the center of the chanic’s brain was continuously receiving signals from the outside world. It was weak but regular, similar to brain wave signals.
He had seemingly observed a similar situation not long ago in another place and in another person’s body.
After pondering for more than half a minute, ng Chao finally rembered where he had seen a similar scene.
It was in Picturesque Orchid Lake,in the rat people who believed in the Rat God.
More precisely, it was in the rat priests under the Ancient Dream Saintess.
The rat priests were receiving orders from the Ancient Dream Saintess through a thod similar to “brain wave transmission” over a long distance!
“I see. Is this guy also receiving and executing orders from his higher-ups of the Blood Alliance in real ti through the brain chip?” ng Chao mumbled to himself.
At that mont, the hatch of the dical cabin below slowly opened.
The chanic finished his treatnt and slowly sat up.
It looked like he had woken up from a dream with a dazed and confused expression.
He was taken aback for a while before he realized where he was.
He looked down at his hands. After a while, he could gradually control his ten fingers.
He let out a long sigh of relief and smiled. He stretched his muscles and bones while he thanked the bearded doctor.
From the microexpressions on his face and the way he crawled out of the dical pod, he seed to have completely changed into a different person.
There was not a single part of his body that was as cool as lightning.
He did not even have the aura of a person who was born to be decisive.
It appeared that it was not as simple as “receiving commands in real ti.”
ng Chao’s thoughts raced as he thought to himself, ‘This guy has apparently just woken up from an unfathomable dream. He doesn’t rember anything that has happened in the past few hours at all. Besides, his microexpressions and muscle reactions are completely different from a mont ago.
‘Looks like he wasn’t the one controlling this body.
‘Here cos the question. If the soul that was hiding in this body wasn’t the chanic himself, then who was it?’
With a question in his mind, ng Chao calmly returned the way he ca.
After leaving the car repair factory and making sure that no one was following him, he found an abandoned factory that was about to be demolished. He transmitted the ssage to Shen Yuanbao through a powerful portable communication device.
Shen Yuanbao was hiding in the depths of The Grand View of the Universe and was theoretically faking his death.
Nevertheless, ng Chao believed that he still had a lot of hidden power and he could get a lot of information that he could not.
ng Chao sent Shen Yuanbao a sketch that he drew from his mory.
It depicted the chanic and the scars on his body.
As an agricultural university student and a Reaper, ng Chao also had extraordinary eyesight and muscle fiber control. Even if he did not have any artistic talent, ng Chao could draw a sketch that was comparable to a photograph. He had a firm grasp of the characteristics of monster organs and the human body structure.
ng Chao then described his findings to Shen Yuanbao.
He asked him to investigate the chanic’s real identity and look into his dical records.
To fit so many implants into a human body, perfectly connecting them to the spine and the brain but not affecting the guy’s daily life,required extrely high-level dical technology and cutting-edge dical facilities.
It was definitely not sothing that could be done in a place like the Lair or a third-class clinic without a brand.
Shen Yuanbao had seemingly been waiting for ng Chao’s news.
Half a minute later, he responded to ng Chao’s analysis.
Shen Yuanbao told ng Chao that Yun Feidian’s Thundercloud Technology was best at remote-controlling monsters.
By performing special operations on monsters and implanting control chips into w monster’s spine and brain, together with the assistance of the tal bones at the critical parts, they were able to control the monster from a distance of several kiloters or even more as if it were a drone.
Of course, it was also possible to remove the monster’s brain and spinal cord completely and implant them into rune machines to make “half-flesh, half-tal” smart tanks. They could also be controlled remotely, turning the monsters and rune machines into puppets.
It was indeed possible for similar technologies to be applied to the human body and create human-shaped puppets that would listen to every command!
“There has to be more than one such puppet. If Yun Feidian can control more than twenty puppets at the sa ti to act as his ‘clones,’ it’s really possible that he can go out and socialize with the public, the reporters, and his partners while he manipulates the other puppets and rebuilds the Blood Alliance!” Shen Yuanbao said.
“However, this is just our guess. Without hard and direct evidence, it’s impossible for Yun Feidian to be exposed and ruined by the implant in the chanic’s body alone!”
