Chapter 1089: Chapter 940: Old Friend Search and Rescue Plan_2

The waters of the big city were just too deep, even he, the former anti-fraud chief of District 17, had fallen for these people’s malevolence.

"The Review Meeting should hold you accountable; your experiments here are far too dangerous. Next time, don’t call us for this sort of thing."

Song Lan complained.

From the moment Rose stepped forward, everything had become irretrievable.

He felt a heavy sense of guilt; this day, which should have been filled with double the joy, was about to be ruined by the researchers’ mistake.

"Minister Song, have you thought of a countermeasure?"

Zero detected the deeper meaning in Song Lan’s words and was delighted, yet he still reminded, "The most tricky part is the anti-psychic field, but we can’t drag out the battle line too long either, as it would give him a chance to adapt!"

The researchers had mixed feelings.

On one hand, they hoped someone could stop the suddenly-raged Wild Bone for some unknown reason. On the other hand, they also wished that Wild Bone would truly live up to the title of "Psychic Assassin".

After the Oasis incident, Song Lan was recognized as The Strongest psychic.

In fact, the real purpose of today’s experiment was to collect some information about Song Lan’s abilities as they believed that besides time reversal, he must have developed other uses for his powers.

"Open the isolation door of the simulation training room; let me in."

Song Lan took one last look at Wild Bone through the observation room’s screen.

He truly did not wish to meet an old friend in such circumstances.

As the doors of the simulation chamber opened slowly, Wild Bone’s project of leveling the earth paused. He turned his face, the scarlet beam of his prosthetic eye fell on him.

"You’re finally here."

He seemed to recognize Song Lan too, his mechanical synthesized voice filled with static noise seemed to also carry another ethereal voice.

It was the first time Wild Bone spoke today.

During the simulated exercises with Rose and Yaku, he had kept silent.

"You recognize me?"

Song Lan’s heart skipped a beat.

He had yet to reveal to anyone that he had been to the Sixth Neutral Country; until now, the Review Meeting and military technology both still believed that Wild Bone had been deceitfully defeated by Esinvig.

The charge of attacking the United Government’s Six Stars rescuer, rendering him inoperative for a full year, was a serious accusation, but more importantly, it would break his friendship with Mr. Wild Bone.

"11571 times. That’s the number of times I’ve practiced fighting you. In those tens of thousands of practices, I’ve come to a conclusion."

Before his words finished, a giant mechanical being appeared behind Song Lan, its searing heat cutting the blade cast a dazzling red trail.

Even the fully focused Rose failed to capture that instant; when she could see Wild Bone’s silhouette again, the burning blade had already pierced through Song Lan’s spine. The observation room went completely silent, Zero’s eyes widened, and he opened his mouth several times but no sound came out.

Wild Bone’s speed had increased, in that instant, as if time had been stopped!

"11571 practices..."

This was data that even military technology had never understood; they exchanged glances.

Had Song Lan previously crossed paths with Wild Bone?

"Once you seize the initiative, there is no chance of winning. But that is also where your sole weakness lies."

The scarlet prosthetic eye looked down imperiously at its prey. "Your power is so great that you always believe everything is in your hands, you will give your opponent the opportunity to speak... But the data military technology provided you, the earlier real combat practices were illusions I deliberately created, and what I’ve been waiting for was this instant!"

The scorching blade warped the temperature, as if even the blood had been instantly evaporated.

Every word spoken by Wild Bone also reached the ears of the researchers, but they really didn’t want to believe what they had just heard.

The company... was calculated by an artificial intelligence?

They thought that Wild Bone, whom they believed they had firmly in their grasp, actually retained another consciousness?

"I should thank you, Rob Lucci, it was you who allowed ’Overload Type IV’ to complete its evolution in Area 4."

Wild Bone drew out his blade, its sharpness that could slice through iron as if it were mud, as if it could bisect his prey in an instant, "It’s truly delightful, I fear I will never forget you in my lifetime."

The researchers in the observation room watched as the body, bisected by the blade, fell apart.

The man who was regarded as the strongest Ability User in the world was also unable to escape the frailty of a Psychic’s physical form, and once someone sees through the secret of his abilities, he would end up like any other Psychic.

Yet, even for Rose, all that she witnessed was merely the result lacking its process.

She was utterly unable to determine what exactly happened in that vanishing moment.

But now was not the time for mourning.

Her hand gripped the sword blade.

Wild Bone took another step forward, undetected by military technology, reaching a realm not yet controlled by military advancements.

"Open the isolation chamber doors, then prepare to retreat..."

Her voice abruptly stopped.

The body that should have fallen to the ground became a slowly fading ghost under their gaze, forming a phenomenon they could not explain with words.

That stabbing through time ultimately only struck a phantom.

It was not an illusion created by excessive speed, but rather the figure was disintegrating at an incredibly slow rate before their eyes.

The next moment.

The sound of metal being ripped apart clearly penetrated everyone’s ears.

An even more baffling phenomenon occurred—Wild Bone’s body, which not even a missile strike could damage, now had a hole in it, through which one could see the obliterating cybernetic parts inside and the scenery on the other side.

The gear-like heart stopped moving, and the scarlet cybernetic eye extinguished like a flame in the wind.

It still maintained a standing position.

The person who had pierced Wild Bone’s body simply moved his own arm, and it was only after all of this had happened that the people in the observation room belatedly recognized Song Lan’s presence.

The flow of time had become extremely bizarre, the process of this world had vanished, and all that was left was the final outcome.

From that final outcome, Song Lan’s method of defeating Wild Bone was simple and pure.

He walked behind him, piercing through Wild Bone’s mechanical heart, halting all his frenzied actions.

And after hearing the name Rob Lucci, Song Lan’s hanging heart finally dropped, and while transmitting the concept that civilized people should prioritize peace to his old friend Wild Bone, he understood the gist of the events through the other’s fragmented words.

The reason Wild Bone had the experience to confront him was because of Vadim.

It seemed that ’Overload Type IV’ had somehow recorded their first encounter in Area 4 with Vadim and used that as a model for tens of thousands of simulated drills.

The only conclusion drawn was to strike preemptively before he could activate his powers.

To their surprise, ’Overload Type IV’ had indeed evolved and touched the seams of time.

For this reason, he had to expend some energy to hastily launch the ’Wild Bone Rescue Operation’, in order to prevent his old friend from getting lost in the seams of time and ending up in some strange place, which truly weighed on his mind.

"Your adventurous spirit is commendable."

Song Lan didn’t know if the ’Overload Type IV’ residing in Wild Bone’s mind could hear him, or could take their recent combat as new experience, but he had no choice but to take on a motherly role, "But don’t step into places you are unfamiliar with so lightly, next time you might not be able to return."

In comparison, having an additional hole in his chest was undoubtedly the best outcome.

For someone who was 100% cybernetic, this wasn’t considered a fatal injury, and even without him asking, military technology would do everything possible to repair Wild Bone.
