Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 274

274. Chapter 273, This Makes Sense

A flying bird jumped out of the rain curtain and flew high.

Although he knew it was unlikely, Elan Bird still had a little hope.

It would be great if this summoned psychic pigeon could fly out and take the information out.

This is exactly why they wanted to send Tim Vent into Blackbird City. With this ability, it is much easier to transmit information.

But obviously, it is not that easy.

According to Vent, he tried it before, but not only failed, but also led to exposure, which attracted the attack of Blackbird Heavy Industry.

And the result this time was exactly the same.

Not long after the bird flew out, a red beam flashed in the sky. The bird made of psychic energy was blown up in mid-air.

Elan Bird sighed slightly.

Although it was expected, it was still a little disappointing.

Beyond disappointment, there was sadness.

He heard some movement, and a guard rushed to the place where the bird flew out.

There, there was only a demon hunter, Oga, who had lost his ability to move and even lost consciousness and was waiting to die.

Perhaps the people from Blackbird Heavy Industry would capture him alive and then treat him, hoping to get some information from him.

In order to prevent this from happening, before the action, Vent had already done some tricks on him to ensure that his life, which was not long to live, would end quickly after falling into the hands of the enemy and there was no possibility of rescue.

It was painful for Elan Bird to do such a thing to his comrades, but he had to do it.

And Vent, who did it, was also in a position of sacrifice.

After a considerable number of guards were attracted to the place where the birds were released, Vent also appeared.

He directly attacked the convoy driving on the street.

The convoy below was in chaos, but Elan Bird couldn’t bear to watch it any longer.

Every member of the Demon Hunter team is an elite, and each of them is not only a well-trained warrior, but also has special extraordinary powers.

But despite this, this is still a fight that cannot be won.

First, they were outnumbered, and Wente was fighting alone.

Second, they lacked weapons and equipment. They were good at hiding their weapons when they entered Blackbird City. They could not even bring in heavy weapons, not even a bomb.

Moreover, the Alliance had no local base in Blackbird City. The highly controlled environment here did not allow any opposition organizations to exist, and it was impossible to obtain powerful weapons from the environment.

All Wente could use was a short laser pistol with almost no ammunition.

Third, his extraordinary ability, the flying bird, was an ability to transmit intelligence and had no combat effect.

But despite this, he still went out, fighting with the belief that he would die.

Moreover, what he had to do was not as simple as going up to die. Although he knew that he would die as soon as he took action, he still had to make as much noise as possible in the dead end to attract the most attention.

This meant that he could not just rush out and die.

He had to kill people, and he had to be calm and smart enough to deal with the enemy, delay the time long enough, and attract enough attention…

In this way, Elan Bird would have a chance.

Oga was dead, and Wente was about to die, just to give him the last chance to get out alive.

And now this opportunity really appeared in front of him!

Wente did it well enough.

The gun in his hand caught him off guard and killed a driver and a guard who was accompanying the car. Then, facing many sieges, he calmly hid in a building and fired at the enemy.

When the mechanical guard rushed into the building with the mechanical dog, Wente had already turned into another building through the window and opened fire again.

In more than ten minutes, the guards of Blackbird Heavy Industry not only failed to arrest him successfully, but were fooled by him, so they had to invest more manpower, so that the convoy on the street that was originally going to leave the city to absorb population into Blackbird City had to stop. Many guards in the cars got out and went to help…

This was the opportunity Bird wanted to get.

He took little Si Ni, the child left behind by the family that took in and settled his comrades, and slipped out of the room together and went to the door on the first floor.

After opening the door a little, Bird looked around. With his use of his innate psychic power, he could sense the mental targets around him, so no one should be paying attention here.

This was a good time to leave.

He turned around and emphasized to little Si Ni again, saying, “Next, you must be obedient. If I don’t allow you, you can’t make any sound. You must do whatever I tell you to do. Do you understand?”

“I know.” Little Si Ni nodded a little nervously, “Brother Wen Te told me before.”

“Well, then follow me.”

When Wen Te and Bird were discussing the action plan, of course they didn’t just bring a little burden with them. Although, when little Si Ni’s parents helped Wen Te and Oga hide, they didn’t betray them. They also promised to the parents of Little Si Ni that they would help their son escape if they had a chance. However,

in the current situation, even teammates had to be silenced and the enemy had to be attracted by all means at the last moment of his life. Wen Te himself had to risk his life to play a feint to the east and attack to the west. If it was not necessary, why would Bird bring a burden with him?

The reason for this was that he was not a burden.

Little Si Ni was very obedient. His body had undergone preliminary mechanical transformation and his mobility was stronger than that of ordinary children. The main purpose of bringing him with him was to cover his identity when necessary. Little Si Ni was a legitimate resident of Blackbird City, and his father also had one. These real documents were also brought by Bird.

In even worse situations, Little Si Ni could be lured out to attract the target, so that Bird could see if there was still a chance of survival at the critical moment…

I hope the last situation will not happen.

With Little Si Ni, Bird crouched down and came to the side of a black car.

Through the car window, he saw a driver inside, who was peeking out from the window at the other end, paying attention to the battle situation outside, which was separated by two buildings.

The drivers of this kind of “pick-up” Blackbird convoy are generally not modified servitors or human automatons, but are more like normal humans. Otherwise, when recruiting people, it is easy to cause trouble.

Bird did not hesitate. He took out his pistol and shot the driver through the car window, shooting through the driver’s head.

Then, he quickly reached in through the broken window, opened the car door, and dragged the body to the position under the driver’s seat.

Little Si Ni also hurriedly got in the car, and beside him, he helped him to pull down the driver’s coat, so that Bird could change faster.

When Bird was putting on his clothes, Little Si Ni was still beside him to help clean up the bloodstains, but was pressed down by Bird with one hand.

The signs of fighting outside stopped.

From this point of view, Vent is probably dead.

After a while, the guards gradually came back.

The convoy was about to start again.

Before setting off, the guards came to check the condition of each vehicle.

This was the biggest test for Bird.

Taking advantage of the chaos and no one paying attention, assassinating a driver and changing into his clothes, what was so difficult about that?

The difficult part was how to accurately replace his identity.

He had too many flaws here.

The bullet holes on the car window could be inferred to be accidental shots in the previous battle; what about the blood-stained work clothes on his body? Was he injured? If the guards asked him to get off the car to check, the body in the car would not be hidden. Not to mention, if the guards knew the original driver in his car, his face would be instantly recognized…

In other words, these things could not be called flaws. As long as one had a normal mind, he would realize the problem.

All of this required his mind to tamper with his innate ability to cover it up.

But… he was just a demon hunter, not a psychic.

If he had the power of the legendary Governor, what would be so difficult? Not to mention just covering up a few flaws, even if it is to completely tamper with the other party’s mind, make him become his most loyal subordinate, make him go through fire and water for him, and make him commit suicide, it is easy.

But Elan Bird is far from that level.

The more perfect the other party’s mind is and the stronger the will is, the greater the possibility of failure of mind tampering; the greater the difference between mind tampering and the other party’s cognition, the possibility of failure will increase exponentially…

Everything he is doing now, pretending to be a driver, wearing the driver’s clothes, and wiping off blood stains as much as possible, is to reduce the rejection when tampering with the mind.

This is possible to succeed.

But the premise is that the fewer flaws, the better.

He couldn’t let anyone see the corpse, otherwise it would be impossible to tamper with the other party’s will and make them turn a blind eye to the corpse; he had to pray that the other party didn’t recognize his face, otherwise the tampering would probably fail; when he tampered, he had to use the language, try not to make mistakes, and try to explain those abnormal situations, such as bloodstains and bullet holes. The more real and credible the excuse was, the higher the possibility that he could tamper with the other party’s mind and make them believe it and not conduct further inspections…

He thought about this, and then the guards who were checking were getting closer and closer.

In an instant, Bird’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.

The guard who came over… was not a human!

The face under the hat was a mechanical skull, completely devoid of the organizational structure of the human brain.

What should I do?

Mind tampering is effective for living bodies; whether it is effective for servitors, Bird can no longer guarantee it. And now, this may be a robot that has been modified even more than the servitor!

After all, the servitor only removed and changed a part of the brain, and the part that exerted its instinctive movement effect still belonged to the “human” part; pure robot…

then…

would mind tampering still be effective?

But what other options did he have?

He could only bite the bullet and continue to carry out the original plan.

When he reached the car window, the guard paused, and he really noticed the bullet hole on the car window.

Bird pretended to be relaxed and said, “Did you catch that guy just now? The car window was broken!”

As he spoke, his ability to tamper with the mind was quietly activated.

He captured the other party’s mind.

Do robots have minds? This question, which he was completely unsure of before, had an answer at this moment:

they do.

But the feeling is completely different from that of a “human”.

The cold touch, as if he was immersed in ice water, made him shiver.

In this cold sea of mind, Bird did not find any part of “emotion” belonging to humans. All that can be found here are cold “instructions” and “logic”.

Is this good news or bad news?

The bad news is that many of Bird’s past experiences in using the ability to tamper with the mind cannot be used.

He had the most experience in intelligence interrogation. The best trick was to combine normal interrogation methods and further “amplify certain emotions”, such as panic, pain, and fear, to defeat people’s minds.

This trick is useless.

Mechanical creatures have no emotions at all, so it’s useless to amplify them.

But the good news is that mind tampering can still be used. It’s just that the target he wants to tamper with has changed from emotions and memories to distorting instructions and logic.

The former is impossible, at least he doesn’t have the ability to distort any instructions written into the computing chip of mechanical creatures.

But distorting logic is feasible .

Moreover, it is unexpectedly easy.

The red light in the guard’s eyes flickered for a moment.

When he saw the bullet hole, the logic was distorted into the accidental impact of the previous battle, which was reasonable;

when he saw the blood on the car window and the driver’s clothes, the logic was distorted into the injury caused by the bullet, which was reasonable;

the traces of blood splattering were from the inside to the outside, which did not match the position where the bullet hit, which was unreasonable… Ignore it and judge it reasonable.

This person’s face has never been seen before, but because the driver was injured and his face was stained with blood, it seemed different from the recorded footage, which was unreasonable… Ignore it and judge it to be reasonable.

Everything is normal, no need for in-depth inspection.

The guard walked away.

Bird’s smile faded after he saw from the rearview mirror that the guard’s sight was not here at all.

He supported the steering wheel with both hands, gasping for breath, his head was splitting, his arms were shaking…

This was not only because of nervousness, but also because of the huge spiritual consumption.

But he still had a smile on his face.

At least, in the early stage, the most difficult level has been passed.

The radio in the car sent the order to start, and Bird started the vehicle.

This was quite difficult.

The way and feel of driving the vehicle are different from those of the alliance’s vehicles; there is a corpse under his feet, which is very troublesome, pressing on his feet, making it difficult for him to control.

But fortunately, he doesn’t need to drive fast, and he doesn’t need to show too much technology. He just tried his best to keep the vehicle steady and move forward.
