In order not to alarm the enemy, Zhanlu did not use technical means to invade. Monoeye Hawk watched him sweep the surrounding monitors skillfully and quickly map out a perfect way to avoid them. Wanting to know "what the fuck is Lin gonna do", Monoeye Hawk followed him.

"Haven't you already 'died'? Even if the IU and interstellar pirates were fighting like shit, what's it to you? Did the IU offer you a salary?"

Zhanlu turned into a mechanical hand, attaching to Lin's arm.

Lin put on his gloves, rummaged through the room, then climbed up along a wall-lined pipe on the outside wall of the VIP area. As Monoeye Hawk looked down, he almost suffered from acrophobia – the pipe clinging to the wall was round and no more than ten centimeters in diameter in estimation, and it was a little slippery. Staggered monitors and muzzle scopes swept around like a big net that could sift even a falling hair.

Monoeye Hawk hesitated for a while, and then found that Lin was already ten meters away.

He then climbed up hurriedly with his hands and feet. He was stuck to the wall by a layer of bionic little suction cups that appeared on the palm and the back of his clothes. Even so, Monoeye Hawk still moved one step at a time with deep fright. He felt that the flimsy pipe could not bear the weight of two men and was trembling below his feet.

"Are you a fucking gecko?" said Monoeye Hawk.

"Everyone likes to get rid of trouble. Who doesn't know that such unworldly life is much more comfortable?" Since Lin knew that this munitions merchant had many tricks, he did not wait for him on purpose. He said without looking back, "But since you live a more comfortable life than others, isn't it fair that you die earlier and end more miserably? Bro Lu, let me say something that you may not like to listen to, even the directors of the GC are straining their heart to live, afraid of death if they do one thing wrong. Who are you to enjoy such peaceful life?"

Zhanlu cited the classics, "Bad things happen –Murphy's law. Storms will always come, it is better to stand on the head of waves instead of being the sand castle which waits for its unchangeable fate."  

"Shut the fuck up!" Monoeye Hawk was furious, "Why you are still talking so much when you're a hand now? And why you even following a person like him, did he format you?"

They came to the end of the pipe. Lin looked to check the way to go. Turning around the corner, there was a plank walkway about two meters away. As long as there were no mental obstacles, it was not a big problem to jump over such a distance. But there were three laser guns with automatic monitoring at the corner, positioned in a triangle leaving no blind spots. Once they scanned someone who has no relevant clearance, the guns will cut a person into several pieces instantly.

"Zhanlu said nothing wrong. It seems that it is you that had been a local tyrant in this remote and desolate place for too long that had an exaggerated opinion of what you can do." Lin said calmly, and untied his coat at the same time, "Everybody's business belongs to their own – Is that how you taught your son? No wonder that you raised a withdrawn educator. He is so naïve and civilized, you know, which makes him rather lovely."

Monoeye Hawk looked as if he had been scalped on the spot, suddenly becoming furious, "Yeah, you are not naive, you know what's best for you! You were picked up by Xin Lu before you were ten. He raised you as his own son. Even his wife didn't have Zhanlu's access, but you have a special copy of it. And how did you repay him? Jingheng Lin, your teacher was set up, his reputation was ruined and his family all died. They drove mechs all around the world to hunt a woman who's only ever held a pen in her life. And you study in Black Orchid like nothing happened, chasing your bright future and working as a watchdog of the IU! How mighty you are, Commodore Lin! You ruled the Silver Fortress at such a young age, you ruled Xin Lu's old unit, making them not even dare to breathe! I am saying that you are ungrateful and heartless and you are not wronged, right?"

Lin said nothing. The next moment, he suddenly moved and let go of his coat which he had just untied. Zhanlu, who was buttoned to Lin's arm, made an energy circle on his shirt. The coat that flew out radiated the infrared radiation of a simulated human body, which as if a human figure flew out. Three laser guns turned their muzzles at the same time and hit the coat. At that moment, a man who looked like a researcher on the space station happened to pass by on the plank walkway. His eyes caught the unusual movement of the laser guns. Before he could see anything, his neck was suddenly clasped by a pair of hands, and a click sounded.

Lin created a blind corner artificially. He utilized the short time difference, jumping onto the plank walkway and landing on the ground to catch the person, which was all done almost at the same time. The three laser guns responded immediately, catching up with him. Mechanical hand-like Zhanlu immediately reached out a probe into the researcher's body and took a chip out of his heart forcibly and linked it on his own palm. At the last second, the laser guns, which were ready to fire, identified the chip and were fooled by him. They hung for a moment, then slowly drooped again.
