Hao Ren had removed his Steel Membrane Shield in time. He believed that the glimmer was just the reflection of sweat under the sun, but there was no doubt that Nolan had noticed it. She had kicked a shield that was stronger than titanium alloy.
Looking at Nolan's deep and serene eyes, Hao Ren had an illusion that he was completely seen through. He could not believe that he was facing a girl of 17 or 18 years old. The girl's eyes were as intimidating as Vivian's when she was serious. But he quickly calmed down and pretended to be relaxed. "What did you say?"
"You're not good at changing the subject," Nolan said. "What was that? That's not something that can be done by biochemical modification. You're a natural. "
Hao Ren suddenly remembered that there was an all-purpose excuse when he encountered such a situation in a novel. "Have you heard of Qigong or something similar?"
He was about to say that he knew a hermit master and that he had exchanged a meal with him for a set of Heng Kung Fu. But Nolan spoke faster than him. "Qigong? I've heard of it. I've also fought with so-called martial arts masters. They're really good, but that's definitely not Kung Fu. I saw myself kicking a layer of light with my own eyes. "
Nolan's face was as stiff as a stone when she said this. She was totally impervious to Hao Ren's words. Hao Ren was dumbfounded. Why didn't the all-purpose excuse work? The girl in front of him had actually beaten up a Qigong master.
And Nolan's observation was very detailed. The shield was directly exposed in front of her eyes. It was obviously unrealistic to explain it as some kind of fighting technique. At least in the knowledge system of this world, a fighting master would not be able to create a shiny shield even if he had a gallstone. So he shook his head. "Well, it's actually some kind of technological equipment, something like a shield."
"Technological equipment?" Nolan finally frowned. Obviously, this was more believable. "Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Well, the Naturals are naturally weaker than the Evolved," Hao Ren began to talk nonsense. "So, my city-state is researching equipment that can enhance the survivability of the Naturals. I took a set with me before I left. But don't ask any more questions. We're not familiar with each other yet. I can't give it to you. "
Hao Ren was trying to come up with a new explanation in his mind. He was ready to come up with a new one if it didn't work. If it didn't work, he would come up with a new one. If it didn't work, he would turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, Nolan did not dwell on this topic. "Oh, I see. So technology is still improving …"
Hao Ren immediately swallowed the words' there is another reason '. At the same time, he was still discussing with the MDT in his mind. "Did you record Nolan's movements just now? "What's the conclusion?"
"Many of my sensor modules can't be activated, so I can't scan her energy fluctuations. I can only roughly judge that the battle was completely within the range of a mortal. Her strength and speed are at the level of a human, but her skills and experience are almost at the peak of a human. She seems to be familiar with any kind of combat skills and has rich experience in fighting against enemies stronger than herself."
"I also think she's simply superior in skills and experience," Hao Ren agreed with the MDT. "I didn't feel any supernatural phenomenon just now. Nolan should have nothing to do with the guardians. Her strength is in the range of a human, at most with a little biochemical plug-in."
"But here's the problem: she's only seventeen years old," the MDT reminded. "I think even if she started squatting and practicing Muay Thai in her mother's womb, she shouldn't have this level of skill today. Do you believe that even if Lili came, she would still be no match for her even if her physical fitness was at the same level? "
"Is she that powerful?" Hao Ren was shocked.
"I've recorded the combat data of each of you. My sensors can't be used now, but the calculation and simulation ability are still there."
Nolan noticed that Hao Ren was in a trance and asked casually, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
"How are you so powerful?" Hao Ren asked directly.
He knew that Nolan's injury would take a few minutes to recover, and powerful nanotechnology could not bring the girl back to full health in an instant. So these few minutes were the best opportunity for him to get to know Nolan better. So he simply asked whatever was on his mind.
"Do I need a reason to be powerful?" Nolan glanced at Hao Ren faintly.
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Unless you learned your combat skills directly from the chip in your brain. But as far as I know, there is no such technology in the world. Even the second-generation Evolved can only temporarily store book knowledge in the brain, but can't directly turn it into their own experience. How did you get your combat skills? "
"I don't have to answer you." Nolan stood up shakily and seemed to have lost interest in the conversation. "I have something to do, you …"
Hao Ren was startled and quickly stopped Nolan. "Wait a minute, I have something for you. This — I found it in Khiton's room."
As he spoke, he fished out Khiton's diary from his pocket and handed it over to him. Nolan took it curiously and asked, "What's this? Khiton's diary? "
"Although I don't know Khiton, this is probably the reason for his betrayal," Hao Ren pointed to the diary. "Turn to the last few pages."
Nolan frowned and opened the diary. She casually read a few lines and closed it. The expression on her face seemed to be a little hazy at that moment. She looked at Hao Ren and asked, "Have you read everything in here?"
"Yes," Hao Ren nodded frankly. "But I don't understand it very well. It feels a bit like a crazy person talking nonsense."
"Crazy …" Nolan muttered to herself. "But maybe it's the opposite. He's just too close to the sober world."
Hao Ren stared at Nolan and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing, it doesn't have much to do with you." Nolan shook her head and put the diary away. "Thank you for bringing this, but don't tell anyone about this diary. It will cause unnecessary trouble."
After saying this, Nolan turned and was about to leave. Hao Ren called out from behind, "Do you know something?"
Nolan did not answer. Hao Ren continued to ask, "What does Khiton mean by the nightmare he mentioned? Is it a spiritual influence or a real existence? He said that this world is false. Is there really a real world? Are you … "
Nolan suddenly turned around and stared into Hao Ren's eyes. "Do you know what you were doing in your previous life?"
Hao Ren was suddenly confused by this inexplicable question. He replied subconsciously, "Well … Who knows?"
The light in Nolan's eyes dissipated in an instant. She slowly turned her head and said, "You should know that it's not reliable to escape reality with delusions."
After saying this, the gray-haired girl did not stay any longer. She staggered out of the place.
Hao Ren watched Nolan's figure disappear. He scratched his chin and muttered to the MDT, "Actually, I have some guesses now …"
"Reincarnation? Reset? You suspect that this world is in a constant cycle? Or you suspect that Nolan is the spokesperson of the Nanomachine Swarm? " The MDT knew what he was thinking, but it did not think that 'guesses' were a good thing. "You can have 10,000 guesses to explain what you see in front of you, but before you have concrete evidence, don't keep any of them in your mind for too long. They will only mislead you."
"I know, I still remember the inspector's handbook," Hao Ren exhaled. "Section 7, Article 5 of the handbook, 'Everything has an explanation, but don't explain anything before the truth is revealed.' Let's not talk about this. Let's go back and clean up your body. "
The MDT's frustrated voice sounded immediately. "I don't like this topic …"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "Don't complain. You're just lying there. I'm the one doing the real work!"
"I still don't like this topic," the MDT sighed in Hao Ren's mind. "I'm as beautiful as a flower now. If the law doesn't intervene, who knows what you'll do."
"… F * ck you!" Hao Ren cursed.
The two of them bickered in their heads as they returned to the barracks. Just as they expected, no one broke into the room on the day they were gone.
Naturally, no one noticed that the corpse in the room had disappeared.
After entering the room, Hao Ren looked around and found the autonomous robot that he had left behind to guard the door. The latter seemed a little dazed after being left here for a day. Hao Ren waved at it, and it floated back into the Dimensional Pocket. Then Hao Ren threw the corpse on the bed again, ready to check if there were any changes compared to yesterday.
"Hey, wait a minute!" The MDT yelled as soon as it was thrown out. "It looks like … I just saw something!"
Without the MDT saying anything, Hao Ren had also noticed the change in the MDT because when he took the blonde girl out of the Dimensional Pocket, he saw the MDT's eyes gently blinking!
