30: Smile and tell me, eggplant!

Led by the boss, Tang Gao walked through the bright underground passage filled with light bulbs, then took the elevator down to the third underground level.

Due to the chaos above ground, the people on the third underground level had already been evacuated, leaving only a few individuals forcibly kept at critical posts.

With the boss present, Tang Gao had an unobstructed path, arriving in front of the huge silver-white cage where the Magic Mechanical Puppet was held.

This cage was about three stories high and covered an area of about half a sports field. Inside, there were thick circuit pipes and various complex mechanical devices. A dark blue Magic Mechanical Puppet, three meters tall, was trapped on an operating table filled with electric current, with some parts of its body clearly showing signs of having been disassembled.

The boss had now replaced the key in his hand with a controller, standing respectfully beside Tang Gao, his tone deferential: "Sir, you only need to use this remote control to barely control this Magic Mechanical Puppet... Currently, this technology is not mature enough and is still being perfected, so there is a risk of it losing control.

If you want to master this Magic Mechanical Puppet, it's best to take it along with the restraining device. If this fellow breaks free, it will be very troublesome."

Tang Gao looked at the Magic Mechanical Puppet's miserable state and clicked his tongue: "Goodness, you've disassembled its arms and legs? These parts clearly look different."

The left arm and left leg here clearly looked brighter, like new skin healing after a human injury.

The boss's interest was immediately piqued, and his eyes lit up with excitement: "Sir, this is the ingenious part! After we disassemble its arms and thighs, as long as we provide enough Materials, it can self-heal! It can regrow mechanical arms and circuits!

This is simply amazing! If we can research this thoroughly, humans could even transform into machines to achieve eternal life!"

Tang Gao was speechless for a moment, glanced at this idiot, then withdrew his gaze, feeling that the other party hadn't read much.

Ever since the Spiritual Qi era began, the topic of eternal life had never ceased, always remaining a hot topic.

However, anyone who had read books knew that longevity was possible, but eternal life was absolutely not.

The energy level of civilization, technology, art, and other complex conditions intertwined, simply could not meet the conditions for the birth of eternal life.

Tang Gao felt a bit sorry for this Magic Mechanical Puppet and said regretfully: "What a pity, a newly born creature, to be tormented by you like this."

A blank creature, just born into this world, was captured and lost its freedom here.

Despite being a life, it suffered such unfair treatment, staying here and enduring inhumane torture.

The boss's expression turned strange, and he said tactfully: "This evil demon deserves it. After it just underwent Awakening, it killed its owner and then slaughtered all the surrounding tourists. Later, to become stronger, it became bloodthirsty, which is why we captured it here for research."

Tang Gao didn't believe him, but instead cast an appraisal on the Magic Mechanical Puppet, intending to see the description for himself.

Although the mission required killing, as per usual, he actually had a wide range of choices.

He could choose among defeating, killing, subduing, and other methods.

The System's rewards would also vary depending on the method he used.

Of course, Tang Gao generally chose the method that felt most comfortable to him; anyway, the final rewards were not bad, just different in their focus.

【Magic Mechanical Puppet (Mechanical Clan · Second Order Late Stage): Bloodthirsty, indiscriminately killed innocents, destroyed over a hundred people and more than twenty families, later captured by the Three-Leaf Clover Group, who then suppressed the public opinion】

What this boss said was true; he actually didn't lie to him.

Tang Gao took the remote control and looked at it: "This is release, this is restraint?"

The boss breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, this restraint effect can last for half a month, which is enough for you to transport it."

"Oh, then I'll choose to release it."

The boss's expression stiffened: "Ah? Aren't you going to tie it up, no, take this valuable experimental subject?"

Tang Gao finished clicking release, crushed the remote control, and chuckled: "Of course not. I came for justice, for the fairness of those hundred-plus people."

The boss's eyes were filled with extreme terror, his face pale without a trace of blood, and he cried out in a choked voice: "But, it's a Second Order Late Stage Mechanical Clan member, equivalent to a pseudo-Third Order combat power!"

Tang Gao let out a soft "Oh?": "Is that so?"

This is a bit rare, oh~

"Boom!"

A thick bolt of lightning flew out from the cage, instantly tearing the boss's head into charcoal, and he himself, due to this terrifying lightning, turned into a charred corpse in the blink of an eye.

Tang Gao looked at the effect and clicked his tongue: "It really is pseudo-Third Order combat power, you were right."

Such terrifying destructive power could indeed only be possessed by combat power close to Third Order.

The charred corpse lay silently on the ground, proving with its own experience that what it had just said was not false.

Tang Gao turned his head and looked at the cage where the electricity had been turned off. The Magic Mechanical Puppet was on the operating table, disassembling the restraining device. Its electronic eyes were filled with angry blood-red, and it was raising its left arm, pointing towards the boss's direction, with abundant electrical effects surging on it.

"Click, click, click..."

Pieces of silver-white restraining devices with electric current were disassembled and fell onto the yellowish-brown marble floor.

The Magic Mechanical Puppet removed all the restraining devices from its body, looking at Tang Gao in front of the cage. It exuded a demonic aura, and despite its mechanical face, it had a sinister and vicious smile: "Cultivator, you are good. You actually didn't stop me from killing this bastard."

Tang Gao tilted his head and said indifferently: "I was going to kill him anyway. Such a person helps evil, and is not worth pitying."

The Magic Mechanical Puppet laughed triumphantly: "Yes, this hypocritical, filthy, despicable human deserves to die! He deserves to die!"

The Magic Mechanical Puppet's laughter was tinged with electric current. After laughing for a long time, it finally stopped and looked at Tang Gao in front of it, a hint of apprehension flashing in its eyes: "Cultivator, if you take me out, I will repay you, and even serve as your servant."

To be able to break in here, either this person is not simple, or the power behind this person is not simple.

A First Order Cultivator certainly couldn't break in here alone.

It could only be that the power behind this person was not simple.

Tang Gao stroked his chin, ordered his Alchemist Avatar to load shells into the rocket launcher, and asked curiously: "You've been a slave for so long, and you're still willing to be my slave?"

Anyway, he was idle, so he might as well chat and stall for time.

Once the shells were loaded, everything would be settled.

Low-level Cultivators were very equal in the face of firepower.

First Order and Third Order, there was no difference.

The Magic Mechanical Puppet's voice carried an electrical hum, and it laughed strangely: "Life is precious, love is even more so, but for freedom, both can be cast aside."

Tang Gao couldn't help but laugh, pointing at the Magic Mechanical Puppet: "You're quite cultured. Alright, I'll make it quick when I kill you."

The Magic Mechanical Puppet's expression changed drastically, and it couldn't help but growl: "Don't you want a Third Order combat power Mechanical Puppet? I can be your Mechanical Puppet!"

Tang Gao smiled brightly: "Grandpa is happy. I can kill you for free for justice~"

The Magic Mechanical Puppet flew into a rage, blue lightning continuously surged from its body, the surrounding air crackled, its hands formed claws, its voice was deafening, and its crimson eyes released terrifying Killing Intent and pressure: "A mere First Order Cultivator, daring to be arrogant in front of me, do you really think I'm afraid of you!"

If it weren't for my fear of the power behind you, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you!

Tang Gao heard his Alchemist Avatar say it was loaded, directly took out the rocket launcher from his space backpack, aimed it at the Magic Mechanical Puppet, and smiled: "Hi~ Smile, and say cheese~"

"Bang!"

The shell flew towards the Magic Mechanical Puppet with a searing red tail flame.

The Magic Mechanical Puppet's expression was extremely ugly, just like Tang Gao's expression when he was welcomed by shells on the watchtower.
