Chapter 488 - 480: Semifinals 10
Josh couldn’t help but feel a chill watching from the side, suddenly gaining some understanding of Turbo’s madness.
"You saw everything?" Turbo suddenly appeared behind her.
Josh turned around abruptly, becoming vigilant.
Logically speaking, with Turbo’s B-level spiritual power, it should be impossible for her to be conscious in Josh’s Illusion Realm.
Turbo’s expression wasn’t as manic as it was outside; she seemed much more serious: "I realized it when you pulled me into the Illusion Realm."
"You let me see these things on purpose?" Josh slightly frowned, "What’s your objective?"
Turbo suddenly laughed, reverting a bit to her more carefree demeanor: "Talking to smart people is indeed easier~"
She said, "I want to cooperate with you. You witnessed what I just went through, and I’ve heard that you have some sway with Duke Catherine and Admiral Collins, plus you’ve even met the Divine. I want you to report this nobility faction experiment to the higher-ups, so that this experiment and the chip implant technology disappear completely."
Josh looked at her, "Why should I trust you?"
Turbo replied seriously, "I know you have this wireless Dream Realm skill, the livestream camera cannot capture player privacy, so I risked showing you these. You saw it too, Webb exploited me, but the Eden Garden Guild is far from as simple as you think."
"The Eden Garden Guild is backed by three dukes, their influence is vast, and the entire guild has now become an incubation base for this technology. Everyone has been brainwashed to undergo this experiment. I overheard Webb saying that if this experiment succeeds, those at the top will use it to control the higher-ups, and by then, the entire Federation Empire will be manipulated by these three dukes. You should understand the principle of ’when the nest is overturned, no egg is left intact.’"
As Turbo spoke of these matters, her face was exceptionally serious.
Josh couldn’t help but think of the past Turbo she saw in the Illusion Realm, that woman on stage speaking eloquently, elegant, confident, and dignified.
Turbo said, "I don’t need your sympathy, I just want you to save me, save my companions. The three members of the Iron Triangle are core subjects of this technology, and the continuous optimization of the technology was incubated on our bodies. The new experiment is crazily going to remove our brains, putting them into robot bodies, turning us completely into cyber people."
Josh frowned, "When will the new experiment start?"
Turbo gave her a deep look, "After our mission fails this time, when we exit the game, the experiment will fall on us."
A clear understanding flashed across Josh’s eyes, "So your mission is to kill us?"
Turbo nodded.
Josh, "So, when we met earlier, you were deliberately demonstrating the functionality of the new technology in front of us?"
Turbo continued to nod, "Only you can help me now."
Josh thought for a moment.
No wonder she felt something strange when she met Turbo earlier.
Turbo’s previous encounter with them was actually to demonstrate the new skill to them, in order to increase credibility when coming clean.
Previously, Yuze and she had also mentioned the nobility district’s experiment somewhat, and the nobility district didn’t concealingly propagate this experiment technique on purpose. The aim was to slowly have the public accept this experiment, mistaking it as merely enhancing combatants’ obedience.
The public’s minds are easily swayed by public opinion. As long as popular figures like Xue Guo and Sun Qimeng participate in this experiment and gain good combat enhancements, the public will be influenced, gradually accepting the experiment.
If the three dukes were indeed behind this, their goal might not just be to control other top leaders; perhaps the public’s thoughts are also within their realm of control.
Just like a mainframe controlling countless subunits below it.
If that’s the case, not just soldiers, millions of the public would absolutely obey the supreme commander.
If they’re still intent on putting people’s brains into machines...
Then it’s truly no different from turning into cyber robots.
The complexity of this matter far exceeds her imagination.
Josh looked at Turbo, "I need to discuss this with Yuze, then I’ll give you a reply."
Turbo nodded, "Alright."
Josh, "Here’s the plan, after we exit, you all retreat. Next time we meet, I’ll bring you and Yuze into the Illusion Realm, we’ll give you a reply in there."
Turbo finally let out a deep breath: "Okay, thank you."
Josh, "Don’t thank me just yet, we haven’t agreed to cooperate with you."
Turbo smirked, "Since you agreed, cooperation is just a matter of time."
She said "you" rather than "you all."
On a personal level, Josh indeed agreed to cooperate with Turbo.
But she couldn’t decide for her teammates.
Josh sprang closer, Spider Silk wrapped around Turbo, and with a strong pull.
Turbo’s body instantly covered in wounds.
She held a dagger, yet was kicked away by Josh.
The Illusion Realm dissipated, and Turbo, covered in wounds, was kicked out bleeding.
Outside the Illusion Realm, others had already been subdued by Yuze and his team.
Josh landed, standing beside Yuze.
Seeing Turbo, Yuze wanted to act, but Josh halted him: "Don’t waste time on such small fry, finding the weapon box is more important."
Everyone needs at least three weapon boxes.
One to unlock weapons, one to unlock Spiritual Body, one to unlock Special Skills.
Yuze received her signal, slightly nodded: "Let’s go."
The five swiftly departed the scene.
Turbo let out a huge breath, and Wangyue Sha along with Zhen hurried over to help her up: "Boss, are you alright?"
Turbo, rubbing her backside, shouted angrily: "If I weren’t loath to hit women, Josh’s head would have been twisted off!"
"We should leave, even they as strong as they are still need to find weapon boxes, we haven’t even gathered ours, our Special Skills are unusable."
Turbo finally cursed and nodded, limping away with her teammates.
The onlooking rabble quickly blocked them: "Wait! What about us when you leave?"
"Yeah! It’s you who brought us to provoke the Golden Shit Stirrer, and now you’re leaving us. We’ve offended them, what should we do?"
Turbo rolled her eyes, shoulder-weighting a knife: "What do you do? Snack on nothing! You weren’t the only ones who offended people! Did a dog eat your brain? Or do you want to acknowledge me as your dad? Do I have to teach you everything, is that thing on your head a mallet?"
Insulted, the crowd was infuriated and was about to pounce on her.
Stopped by Turbo’s threatening gaze, they held back.
Without skills or brains, without anyone to lead them, they could only serve as cannon fodder inside.
Halfway through, Turbo turned back: "Do you guys have weapons on you?"
Many nodded: "Yes, how else could we fight?"
"Exactly!"
Turbo told her two teammates, "Kill them, with so many people, there’ll be enough ready weapon boxes!"
Wangyue Sha stated helplessly, "Just now... Yuze already took all their boxes...including ours."
Turbo: "...Damn it, son of a bitch!"
Zhen’s mouth twitched: "..." A case of the pot calling the kettle black.
