204 Forbidden Mecha (Part 3)
Ning Shi didn’t stay any longer. He turned and walked to the motorcycle, got on it, and sped away.
Looking at Ning Shi’s back as he rode away on the motorcycle, Nico’s smart wristwatch flashed a few times and an old woman’s voice appeared in his mind.
“Nico, this new friend of yours is very interesting. He seems to know that you will be in danger on this trip and found an excuse to avoid you in advance.”
Nico was expressionless as he followed behind Wu Qianlian silently. His consciousness was conversing with the consciousness form in the smart wristwatch.
“Teacher Muraka, you mean Ning Shi guessed that I would be attacked by the Hilda family, so he dodged in advance. How did he detect it?”
“Nico, you are extremely talented in mechanical construction. However, you still need more training in the ways of the world, strategy, and wisdom.
“The Hilda family was willing to use the mecha in exchange for your admission to the Sword Shield City Academy. To a smart person, this was a strange matter. An A-level aptitude person is not worth a mech.
“Ning Shi must have seen that you have something that the Hilda family is determined to get. Once you reach the territory of the Norse Republic Academy, the Hilda family will no longer be able to get what they want. The only chance to make a move is during this trip.
“Therefore, we’ll definitely be attacked if we take the warship this time. Ning Shi has also deduced this.”
Nico suddenly understood. “So Ning Shi didn’t stay to fulfill his promise to master. He stayed to avoid me. He’s only 18 years old. How can he be so smart?”
Nico knew that Ning Shi was deliberately avoiding him. Not only was he not disappointed, but he also admired Ning Shi even more.
Ning Shi was driving his motorcycle to the orphanage when he saw a notification from the game system.
[ Nico knows that the host deliberately split up because of the danger. He is very impressed by the host’s wisdom. Character intimacy +2. The current character intimacy level is 64. ]
The speed of the motorcycle was extremely fast, and the wind whistled in his ears, but Ning Shi felt a little strange in his heart.
Nico had been deceived by him. Not only was he not angry, but their intimacy had also increased.
As expected, the son of destiny’s mentality would be somewhat abnormal.
Nico probably had a strange admiration for the strong.
Ning Shi thought that Nico had figured everything out on his own and did not know that he had been reminded by Muraka’s consciousness.
If he knew, Ning Shi would definitely be very surprised.
This was because Ning Shi had read about Muraka many times in books. She was a crazy mecha master who was written in the history books of the origin planet. She was also known as a forbidden mecha master.
Muraka had been active for 600 years before the battle of the two cities, which was close to 800 years.
At that time, the origin planet was still the center of the Titanium Pole World, ruling over countless planets in the vast universe.
Muraka had displayed an extremely strong talent for mecha since she was young. At the age of 16, she was able to pilot a mecha on her own. She was the youngest mecha master in human history.
When she was 30 years old, her mecha piloting skills were already unrivaled, and she was unrivaled in the world.
When Muraka was at her peak, she announced that she would be entering the mecha manufacturing field in a high-profile manner. She designed and manufactured many powerful mechas in succession.
When she was 40 years old, Muraka’s life was dazzling. Countless people admired and admired her talent, and the world praised her.
That was until she made a wild claim at a press conference that the current mechas were all imperfect and that she wanted to build a perfect mecha with self-awareness and the ability to evolve on its own.
Muraka even declared that her research had borne fruit and that a self-conscious mecha would soon be born.
Contrary to her expectations, her wild words were not greeted with cheers and applause.
It was the cannonballs and blood.
Muraka’s family had been exterminated, and she had disappeared without a trace.
In the development of human science and technology, there had always been a debate about whether intelligent systems would suddenly awaken their self-consciousness and control and destroy human beings.
Countless film and television works and literary novels had made deductions and assumptions about this phenomenon.
In the Titanium Pole World, where technology was extremely advanced, people were even more afraid of machines and systems with self-awareness.
Muraka’s research direction was absolutely taboo. Whether it was from an emotional or legal perspective, people could not accept her actions.
Perhaps the first half of Muraka’s life had given her the illusion that she could rally hundreds of people to respond to her call, which was why she had spoken so arrogantly at the press conference.
The ending was tragic. The Muraka family was exterminated.
In the end, Muraka’s name was written down in history because her research had really succeeded.
She had really developed a self-conscious forbidden mecha and escaped in the chaos.
After hundreds of years of self-evolution and development, the forbidden mecha had become extremely powerful. It had appeared several times and caused great turmoil in human society.
As the forbidden mecha appeared again and again, people realized that the consciousness of the forbidden mecha was always the same. It called itself Scarlet Demon.
In the Titanium Pole World, technology and civilization flourished. Humans were very powerful, but the average lifespan was only about 150 years, far lower than the long-lived species in the universe.
This was the limitation of human genes.
Longevity had always been the ultimate dream of mankind.
Humans saw the hope of longevity in the forbidden mecha Scarlet Demon.
Gradually, a legend began to spread throughout the Titanium Pole World. Whoever obtained the forbidden armor would be able to grasp the secret to immortality.
As the creator of the forbidden mecha, although Muraka’s actions were controversial, her name was undeniably recorded in history.
For some unknown reason, Muraka had transformed into her consciousness form and was now living inside Nico’s smart wristwatch.
“There will definitely be a battle during the flight of the battleship,” she continued. “You don’t have to worry about anything. Your teacher has already made arrangements. You won’t be in danger.
“You can be friends with Ning Shi, but don’t have too much expectation.
“Although he has an S-level talent, with your luck and structure, you will face powerful warriors who will travel the universe in the future.
“Ning Shi won’t be able to keep up with you in the end, and the gap between you two will only get bigger and bigger.
“It’s not just him, everyone is the same. This is the loneliness of the strong, you have to get used to it.”
Nico looked at the 200-meter-long earth-level warship and walked up the ramp. At the door, he waved goodbye to Wu Qianlian.
He then entered the battleship and sat down.
Muraka’s words made Nico feel depressed. In his heart, he really wanted to have a good friend who he could continue to be with.
This was also why he had a good impression of those who were talented and smart.
Sensing Nico’s emotions, Muraka said, “The string of fate has been plucked. The forbidden mecha Scarlet Demon has found its destined master.
“If you really want a long-term friend, Scarlet Demon’s master is a pretty good choice.”
