Chapter 659 - Six Hundred and Fifty-six: ’Lewis.
Chapter 659: Chapter Six Hundred and Fifty-six: ’Lewis.Su Ming’an soared into the sky and indeed spotted a rotating space vortex.
He took out the Amber Knife and with a swing—
The passive of "Spatial Comprehension" endowed him with extraordinary acuity towards the spatial realm, and with a "glug" the vortex shattered and fell silent.
Now, the City of Gods should no longer be able to provide remote support.
To be on the safe side, he still needed to scan the nearby airspace until the troops below could retreat in time.
Now, he had exchanged for floating cannons and passive skill potions. With about six days left of instance time, he should still be able to exchange for another prop.
"X-66 Tactical Reconnaissance Drone (Purple Grade), required exchange points: 10,000 points," this prop was well suited for him. The Scarlet Bird’s surveillance altitude was too low, and its accuracy was not high; he needed a device that could observe the overall situation more effectively.
After circling in the sky for a while, he was preparing to descend when he heard a "ding."
"Doctor, Doomsday City has started a world broadcast," said AI Yeah.
"World broadcast?" Su Ming’an was puzzled. Such important broadcasts that were addressed to the entire world were usually initiated by himself. Why had Doomsday City started a broadcast on its own?
He asked Yeah to start streaming the broadcast.
The screen lit up, showing the face of Tretiya. Her face was very pale, which contrasted with her bright lipstick, resembling a ghost with disheveled hair, indicating she was in very poor psychological state.
The broadcast had been going for a while by the time Su Ming’an tuned in, and he just happened to hear Tretiya say:
"So... the current Lord of Doomsday City, Yasa Acto, is only a bionic body, the real Acto has not yet awakened. The secret experiment from those days was to cultivate countless bionic bodies to serve as the brain and organ cultivation vessels for the real Acto, to die when necessary for humanity."
Su Ming’an was slightly stunned.
"Moreover, because of some secret reasons, if a bionic body of Acto dies, we can advance the awakening process of the true Acto. This reason... is related to the Dawn Code," Tretiya said:
"We need the Dawn System. And to activate the Dawn System, we need the Dawn Code, so, we need the current bionic body of Acto... to die for us."
"Its birth was already part of the experimental plan, in hopes of resurrecting the true human hero who once saved us, we wish to reclaim this bionic body."
"If anyone spots its whereabouts, please report to us. It has a hibernation device on it, and it won’t be able to get far. We also have the corresponding
He hadn’t expected that the first to find him wouldn’t be Yuanyuan, or Lu, or Xia Sheng, but Lin Guang.
...Come to think of it,
he suddenly realized—
—that only Lin Guang had never called him "Acto" from the beginning to the end.
Lin Guang had always called him "Lewis." That name, unique to him alone, was given to him when they first met at the garden villa.
He thought Lin Guang was just too lazy to change how he addressed him. In the end, it turned out that only Lin Guang truly saw him as Lewis, not a copy of Acto.
A slight breeze passed by their sides as Lin Guang pushed him out of the cave.
"It doesn’t matter to me whether you are Acto or not," Lin Guang said. "I only know that I want to be friends with you and exterminate those who wish you dead. As for your name, whether it’s Acto, Lewis, Lv Shu, or Su Ming’an... you are my friend."
"I’ve learned a new tune, and I want to play it for you."
"I don’t know where this feeling of closeness to you comes from... Perhaps we knew each other before?"
Su Ming’an wanted to escape, but his body wouldn’t move.
If he really returned to the City of Gods like this, what would follow was a predictable nuclear explosion...
Suddenly, another familiar voice sounded.
Intense golden light penetrated his eyelids, nearly blinding the pupils inside Su Ming’an’s eyes.
"...I can’t believe I’m not the first one to find this place—alright, you who look a lot like Lv Shu, put him down." Su Rin raised the golden blade in her hand:
"Who cares about your City of Gods? There’s not much time left. Let’s finish this accursed Caius Tower."
