Li Yao was dumbfounded by the burning flames of the explosion!
He watched the short video more than ten times to make sure that he did not see or hear it wrong. Then, the waves in his soul suddenly grew sharp.
"What — what the hell is this?"
He gnashed his teeth in fury.
"This is the picture of the yaksha squad's last battle with the Puppet King. At that time, Chu Zhixiao was about to catch the Puppet King, but the Puppet King was long prepared. He hacked the control system of 'Light Chaser', the main-force warship, and activated the self-detonation mode, blowing up more than half of the warship," the mental devil explained kindly.
The mental devil explained kindly. "It was exactly because of this that Chu Zhixiao and the others, including this spider tank, were heavily wounded and had to return to the base to rest."
"I know that the guy who looks like a salted duck egg is the Puppet King. What I mean is, what does he call himself? His name is Li Yao. Vulture Li Yao! "
Li Yao shrieked. "You didn't do it, did you?"
"I would like to, but I was still dizzy a few days ago and failed to get used to the brand-new form of an information life," the mental devil said.
"Besides, the Puppet King rose in the Holy League a year or two ago, which means that he has been lurking in the Holy League for at least a couple of years. But we were still in the Imperium of True Human Beings a couple of years ago, and we were still in the Xing Yao Federation at the edge of the cosmos a couple of years ago. How could I have been so capable to jump from the Federation to the Holy League directly?"
"So, this despicable and shameless Puppet King is actually using my name and vainly trying to make me take the blame for this black and shiny pot?"
Li Yao was so angry that his soul was shivering. He said nonstop, "Shameless. Truly shameless. How could they have snuck into someone else's office stealthily with an innocent identity and tried to seduce such a tragic little girl as Chu Zhixiao with such a shameless trick? Aya …"
"Well, it sounds like the Puppet King has the same purpose as us," the mental devil said.
The mental devil said, "Even your methods are the same!"
"Who said that? Of course, when we are forced into a corner, we will also impersonate others, hide our tracks, and use flowery words. However, we will use our pure and kind hearts to deeply move others, and then use our magnificent charisma to completely conquer others, so that those who are stuck in the swamp of darkness can see the light and grasp the correct outlook on life, the world, and the values. We are the most gentle and elegant people who are particular about convincing others with reason. How can we be compared to the Puppet King, who is a despicable person who creates ghouls to achieve evil purposes? "
Li Yao retorted solemnly. Pondering for a moment, he said again, "However, speaking of which, there are too many distinguished, extraordinary people in the Imperium of True Human Beings. Why did the guy choose none of them but me to impersonate? Is it because I've been in the limelight recently and intimidated the Imperium that even the great devils lurking within the Holy League think that my name is more intimidating? "
"I have a different opinion."
"I vaguely have a feeling that the Puppet King knows us."
"Knows us?"
Li Yao was slightly dazed. "The Puppet King must've lurked in the Holy League a couple of years ago, and we jumped to the center of the cosmos a year or two ago. In other words, if we did know each other, we should've been old acquaintances in the Federation instead of the Imperium of True Human Beings!"
"It's possible. Didn't you hear what he said? He's from the 'other side of the cosmos'. Obviously, he's from the Federation," the mental devil said.
"Look at how he's blaming us with such a smile on his face. He can't be our best friend. There must be a deep grudge between us. Think about it. How many enemies did we have in the Federation?"
"Aya …"
The question gave Li Yao a headache. "Ever since I dedicated myself to justice and peace, too many scoundrels have considered me a thorn in their side. The number of my enemies is enough to circle the entire planet of the Heaven's Origin Sector. How can I count them all?"
"Yes. You are still alive and kicking after savaging the sea of stars for more than a hundred years. Naturally, you have a lot of enemies," the mental devil said.
"But I don't think there are too many of them who lurked in the Holy League for years without being discovered like the Puppet King. They even developed a mental drug such as the 'Taotie Virus' and infiltrated the brains of experts such as Chu Zhixiao, Yun Haixin, and Yuan Kou without alarming anyone."
"That does make sense."
Li Yao thought hard for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with a solid candidate.
However, now that he had been set up by the Puppet King, his plan to change his body had to be reconsidered.
"What do you think?"
The mental devil held back its laughter and asked, "Do you want to change your plan?"
"Well …"
Li Yao felt like scratching his soul hard. He couldn't have hesitated more. "It seems that I have to seize the clue about the Puppet King. It is not just about finding the Ultimate Benevolence Masters but also about the Xing Yao Federation!
"Assuming that the Puppet King is really a certain … 'existence' from the Xing Yao Federation, and he is captured by the yakshas and delivered to the Ultimate Benevolence Masters, it is very likely that the Ultimate Benevolence Masters will dig out the information about the Xing Yao Federation from his head.
"By then, it is hard to say whether or not the Imperium of True Human Beings can resist the Holy League's attack, but the Federation will certainly suffer a destructive strike because of the collateral damage!
"No, I have to hide in the Yaksha Squad and capture the Puppet King with them. I have to figure out his identity. If necessary, I have to kill him before he reveals the coordinates of the Federation!"
Li Yao's soul was particularly sharp.
"I agree," the mental devil said.
The mental devil said, "Then, don't waste your time. Come and learn how to play the personalized interaction mode of the spider tank. Right, Chu Zhixiao has also given the spider tank a name. From this moment on, you will be called 'Red Pig'."
"Red Pig …"
Li Yao was silent for a moment again. "Why don't we study it carefully and see if we have a second option?"
"I'm afraid not," the mental devil said.
"You don't have a choice," the mental devil said. "This is the fastest choice that is closest to the truth, unless you want to watch the King of Puppets do whatever he wants under your name."
"Wait. What do you mean by 'my name, I don't have a choice'?"
Li Yao shouted, "Isn't it 'our name, we don't have a choice'? You are Li Yao too, and you are not competing with me for the Spider Tank right now, are you? I remember that I recognized you as my big brother only a few days ago! Why don't you do it? When Chu Zhixiao makes certain … outrageous demands on the Spider Tank, you will take over its control system. You can sing and dance however you want! "
"I don't want it."
The mental devil refused decisively. "I have more important work to do."
"What work?" Li Yao asked.
"Hacking the Spiritual Nexus of a higher level of the Fuxi system, controlling more permissions, exploring more secrets about the Holy League, and trying to reach out to the Imperium and transmit some encrypted information," the mental devil said. "Such work will consume all my computational ability. Therefore, I am not capable of carrying out such a trivial task as interacting with the yaksha squad. Why don't we switch roles? You can hack the Fuxi system?"
"Well …"
Li Yao said, "Forget it. You can do it."
"That's it," the mental devil said.
"Then, you will play the role of 'the major's pet' dutifully and try to capture the Puppet King!"
"… Alright."
After a long silence, Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "But I have only one request!"
"What is it?" the mental devil asked.
"This matter absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot be leaked out."
Li Yao said, "If a third person learns of it, we will kill him or her, alright?"
"That's a good idea, but I think that you are too sensitive. Even if you are talking like an elementary school student and dancing on all fours, we all know that you are doing it for your motherland, for the civilization, and for a very noble purpose," the mental devil said.
The mental devil said, "It's not a scandal. Nobody will laugh at you. Hehehehe."
Li Yao: "…"
"Excuse me," the mental devil said. "I'm not laughing at you. I just happened to think of something hilarious. Let's not talk about it anymore. The test has been completed. We are going to be sent back!"
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. Having no time to argue with the mental devil, he raised his awareness to the surface of the Spider Tank and crouched, scanning the surroundings warily.
It was placed on a floating disc and slowly floated forward in the pathway according to the coordinates that had been set automatically.
Very soon, he was sent into the No. 9 cabin, which was the base of the yaksha squad. In the innermost lounge, 'Major' Chu Zhixiao, who had just finished his treatment, was waiting for his' return '.
It had been a long time since Li Yao had been so nervous.
Seizing every second, he quickly swallowed the data in the memory chip and simulated the interaction habits that Chu Zhixiao had raised for the Spider Tank bit by bit in the past with his remarkable computational ability.
The more he swallowed, the more he felt that he would rather be dead than alive. Ah. How embarrassing!
The floating disc stopped before the cabin door of the lounge.
Li Yao was still hesitating, not ready to go in, when the cabin door was automatically opened. Chu Zhixiao was savaging the Gel Fist target in a corner in a neat suit. Seeing that Li Yao was back, he turned around abruptly. His seemingly cold eyes were filled with bouncing delight.
Li Yao made up his mind. Waving his six limbs, he gritted his teeth and walked in.
"Major, are you alright? That's great. You don't know … how worried I was!"
Li Yao pretended to be as young as a primary school student and said softly.
Then, he roared in the depths of his soul. Dear heavens, dear earth, dear universe, dear stars, my name as' Vulture Li Yao '!
"Of course I'm fine. Are you fine, too?"
Chu Zhixiao smiled and glanced at Li Yao. Seeing that 'he' was exactly the same as before, he was more or less relieved.
"I'm fine, too. Great. I can be with you again, Major!"
