Chapter 2545 - 849: Murphy’s Strange Harvest (2)
Connecting the modifications made to the energy cabin, Murphy could easily deduce that this person was the third-party modifier. Her twisted posture on the ground earlier was likely because, after completing the modification, she wanted to find a place to rest but was attacked from behind.
The "detective" Murphy lifted his head, looking towards the closed energy cabin above, following this train of thought.
From the metal walls on all sides, which bore twisted marks due to the energy burst, it was also easy to spot that this was likely a collision caused by a large-scale energy explosion. In other words, this person’s modifications to the energy cabin might have triggered an explosion.
Her own "death" was a direct result of this volatile incident.
"This is the outcome of lacking skill and having bad luck, unfamiliar unlucky lady."
Murphy sighed and said:
"But maybe the whole world should thank you for your daring. Had you not modified the settings of the energy cabin to direct the creative energy towards the suppression device, that subspace fracture might have torn apart the old continent a thousand years ago.
You are a hero.
Without a doubt, I must apologize in advance, but I need to figure out your identity."
Thus, he said, reaching out to touch the woman’s chin. As his fingers contacted the skin and applied pressure, Murphy’s expression subtly changed.
This texture... doesn’t feel right!
Although the skin was made to be very human-like, the things wrapped beneath were definitely not bones!
Metal...
Is this a puppet?
No, a more accurate description should be a robot?
No wonder Necessary Evil didn’t detect any life aura. Realizing this, Murphy decisively initiated item identification. As he had anticipated, an information tag popped up from this character in seconds:
Name: Unknown Mechanical Body · Ultra-Advanced Mechanical Lifeform
Status: Energy Cabin Destroyed · Shutdown · Core Processor Disrupted · Can be Awakened
Alert!
Please replace the energy cabin for the unknown mechanical body to complete the reboot process.
Item Description:
[Why do you always encounter such strange things? Besides, have you thought about how to explain to Triss why you found a strange woman in a strange place?
Finally, do you think Triss will listen to your explanation?]
"Of course, I’m her darling, Triss would never get mad over such trivial matters, you fool."
The item description riled Murphy a bit, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and continued to observe the odd robot suspended in the Midnight Grip in front of him.
Her appearance was quite ordinary. Although the facial features were considered elegant, it was evident that they were filled with a sense of process and modularization, like the product of a mediocre game’s customization feature, or like those poor girls who choose plastic surgery for beauty yet all end up with influencer faces.
The homogenization is too severe!
Thankfully, there weren’t any noses and chins sharp enough to poke someone to death...
Murphy moved his gaze from the robot’s face downward, noticing the special gear on this character, resembling a portable astronaut suit, but the white tight suit was torn in many places due to energy rips, and at her waist was an engineer’s belt brimming with a techy feel from its appearance.
The mechanical strap around the waist was dotted with eight pockets for carrying various items, and indeed, they were filled with stuff Murphy didn’t recognize but undoubtedly were quite impressive.
The vampire blinked, placing this shutdown mechanical lady on the ground, and then undid her belt.
This action reeked of the wicked vibe of a serial killer about to commit evil, but Murphy had no intention of desecrating this mechanical body; he simply aimed to understand better this mechanical entity’s identity and origin.
In his heart, he already had a vague suspicion that, after taking that engineer’s belt in hand, he initiated item identification once more:

Item Description:
[
All the countless lousy things I’ve encountered in my life tell me that handing a powerful weapon to a child who doesn’t understand restraint often spells the beginning of disaster.
Therefore, to prevent my contingency plan meant for handling the worst crises from being tampered with, I deliberately wrote a set of "absolute, absolute, absolute" reinforcement encapsulated permission trees for the loyal Sentinel Corps.
