Chapter 345 The Demands of Synthetic Humans

After the Sharia War, only one mech of each model remained on each island.

After those synths stole the "Fire Opal", Tongshen Island couldn't open another one that was exactly the same.

No matter how you look at it, these are the hands of those synthetic humans.

In order to prevent Russell, the outer island agent hired by Sanos Heavy Industries to solve the synthetic problem, from arriving at Tongshen Island, they controlled the Fire Opal in advance and shot him down at sea.

This should also be to show Shenzhi Heavy Industry that they have the ability to control fire opals.

Fire Opal can be invisible for a long time and is difficult to detect if it is parked at a high position. The Synth can park the Fire Opal above the target it wants to bomb at any time, and silently launch stealth missiles to blow it up.

- This is a threat.

They should be asking for human rights and asking Theosophy Heavy Industry to make their existence public and give them the right to freedom.

And Ringo obviously realized this.

Because of this, her whimpers were filled with murderous intent.

For Russell, those may just be two bodyguards who have never met before... But for Ringo, these are the captain and senior sister she relies on, the people she loves and cherishes.

Russell sighed deeply, heavily.

He had a straight face, and his expression became solemn for a long time.

An indifferent expression that belonged to the "Godfather" rather than Ultramarine appeared on his face.

"I originally thought about seeing if I could save them...

"But now it seems I have to reset my perspective on them."

Even if you don’t count Russell himself, that’s the lives of more than a hundred innocent people.

For the freedom of his own race, he did not hesitate to bomb an airship carrying more than a hundred civilians...

——This kind of behavior has exceeded the limit of Russell's tolerance.

Although there is no clear evidence that this is what the synths did...but they do have a motive.

It is not yet known where the news leaked that Russell was coming to investigate.

But the purpose of these synthetics is obviously to kill Russell, who was specially invited from the outer island by Shenzhen Heavy Industry, so as to show Shenzhen Heavy Industry their ability to control fire opals.

Although Russell is the "hero" of the outer island, the people of Tongshen Island are hostile to the hero and even more hostile to the people of the outer island.

If their actions were known to the people of Tongshen Island, some people might even applaud them - the hostility of the civilians on Tongshen Island towards the Seven Giants was the strongest among the seven islands.

And if SanosHI Heavy Industry wanted them in the name of attacking the "heroes of the outer islands", it might actually gain them sympathy and support from the people.

The core appeal of these synthetic humans is to obtain human rights and be integrated into Tongshen Island.

They have no ability to reproduce. If they want to expand their population, they must transform newborns who have just learned to speak into synthetic humans like them. And it is very reasonable that they themselves cannot get newborns... In other words, if they want to expand the population, they must occupy the magpie's nest and take the lives of other people's children like a cuckoo bird.

Because of this, after they obtained the Fire Opal, they did not bomb the neighborhoods of Tongshen Island.

Because they are worried about being contradicted and hated by the people on the island... Their original position is already very delicate.

But it doesn't matter if you are from an outer island.

Although they cannot be called "human beings", they have also contracted the unique xenophobic habits of the people of Tongshen Island.

But ordinary people on Tongshen Island disdain contact with people from other Sky Islands. However, on the surface, they will not directly attack the residents of other empty islands, at least in public. These synthetic humans only exist as experimental materials and have not received any education. This leaves them with a rather weak sense of morality.

Even though Russell knew emotionally that they were just a group of poor people destined to be worthless and abandoned... But Russell's rationality told him that it was indeed possible for them to do such a thing.

And this also means that these synthetics are easy to be deceived.

The fact that Malt Liquor can know this kind of thing means that their decision to attack the agents on the outer island has been understood by the mages.

Perhaps these mages and uncoded ones also participated in or even led this conspiracy.

If he could bring the malt wine to Tongshen Island, maybe Russell would be able to do things more conveniently.

But Russell thought about it all night and gave up the idea.

——Because after all, he is only "Ultramarine", not "The Godfather".

Mages like Malt Wine and Strangler are not that easy to control.

Strangulation has been clearly figured out by Russell... He will betray sooner or later. Although on the surface, he claims that as long as the godfather can suppress him, he will not betray him, but the way the mage improves his ability determines that his desire will gradually become stronger until he can no longer control it.

But malt liquor is different.

She was loyal to her godfather in every sense of the word. But she always had her own ideas, and her godfather even beat her several times, but he didn't change her.

Probably because the godfather mentioned Ultramarine when he talked to her last time, Maltwine learned that Ultramarine was the godfather's friend in Uptown. Because of this, when "Ultraline" was being plotted, she would directly save Russell.

During the entire process, she did not consult her godfather for his opinion, nor did she tell the only person who could proactively contact him, Silence.

This is obviously her plan to go to her godfather to ask for a reward after the thing is accomplished. If it is not accomplished, she may not even say anything.

But on the other hand, as a mage and a senior member of the Fuji Society, she took the initiative to hijack an airship alone and delivered herself to the hero "Ultraline"... If she failed, I'm afraid the godfather would also silence her.

From this contradiction, Russell can only read the unusually strong self-confidence and self-esteem.

If Russell acted together with Malt Liquor as "Ultramarine", perhaps Malt Liquor would in turn try to control Ultramarine's actions.

And Russell didn't want to tell her that "Ultramarine is the godfather"... With Malt Liquor's mobility and courage, he might be able to directly find the execution department one day.

…Russell didn’t want Delphinium to misunderstand.

Moreover, Russell would not think that the three "bodyguards" were there to protect his own safety.

Those were obviously the eyes of Amirus. Rather than protecting himself, it was more to monitor what Russell did on Tongshen Island.

So after Russell put Ringo to sleep, he went back to the Tower of Babel, informed Delphinium in advance that she was safe, and gave her a vaccination.

Fortunately, due to the lag in news from different islands, Delphinium has not yet learned about this matter - when Happy Island reports this news, it will probably be the morning news the day after tomorrow.

Otherwise, just thinking about Delphinium's fearful and desperate expression when she saw the news, Russell would feel heartbroken.

After learning about this, Bad Ri also decided to follow invisibly when the time came.

Originally, after learning that Russell had three bodyguards, he decided to go directly to Tongshen Island to wait for Russell... But after learning the news, Bad Ri couldn't sit still.

Russell, on the other hand, was worried about Bad Day's safety, so he had better not follow him...

Because he was not sure whether those people would shoot down the airship again.

Although Russell could turn around and return at this time, he did not intend to run away in despair.

He's also on fire.

Whoever did this will have to pay the price.

But he wasn't going to drag his bad days down for something like this...

So Bad Sun had no choice but to briefly explain his psychic "Dead Sun" ability to Russell for the first time.
