Colonial Suit

Bang!

Blood mixed with brain matter sprayed from Blood瞳's fingers. Hector twitched a few times and then stopped moving. At the same time, another “Hector” behind Blood瞳 twisted and disappeared without a trace.

Blood瞳 casually discarded his body, then took a deep breath. The air, thick with the smell of blood, filled his lungs, giving him a drug-like rush, but it was quickly followed by the fatigue of battle.

It had to be said that Hector was the most difficult enemy he had ever encountered. If Blood瞳 had been the same as he was on Planet X35, he probably wouldn't have even had a chance to resist before being killed. Especially that armor of his, which managed to keep Hector alive even after such a terrible beating, showed just how powerful it was. Blood瞳 was able to defeat him largely thanks to the power of the new armor. Whether it was the impact joints or the collision armor, they both performed exceptionally well.

“It's over…” Blood瞳 stared quietly at Hector's mangled corpse, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes. “Zero and Heng… You should be satisfied now, right?”

He sighed softly. Just as Blood瞳 was about to leave, the Core's voice sounded in his mind.

“Can… eat it?”

“Huh?” Blood瞳 was taken aback. This was the first time the Core had made a request. Eat? Eat what?

“The enemy's… armor,” the Core explained calmly. “During the battle just now, I was deceived by the holographic image. This means… his armor has characteristics I am unfamiliar with… I need to understand… enrich the data.”

“The armor has this kind of function?” Blood瞳 was a little surprised. He had thought the armor was just a simple combat weapon. But for him, the stronger the armor, the better. So he agreed to the Core's request.

“Host authorization confirmed…” The Core quickly responded. Immediately afterward, Blood瞳 felt a lightness in his hands. The armor on his hands automatically disassembled, turning into countless thread-like biological tissues. They wriggled, gradually penetrating Hector's armor. Countless sparks erupted from the armor, crackling loudly.

This process lasted for more than ten minutes before the “threads” finished their invasion and returned to Blood瞳's hands. Then, the Core's voice sounded in Blood瞳's mind.

“Holographic system… eaten…”

“Analyzing…”

“Data… reception complete… Sufficient characteristics have been collected… Host… you can leave…”

Looking at the ground again, Hector's armor was shattered into pieces, scattered all over the ground. Hector's body was exposed, with several tubes still inserted into him, flowing with green life-sustaining fluid.

But… he didn't need it anymore…

Compared to these, Blood瞳 was more concerned about the changes in the armor. “Core, what did you gain?”

“Some data collection… Specific changes… have not yet occurred…” The Core replied briefly. “After this restart, I discovered… I have been dormant for too long… The data cells are seriously outdated… Much of the data is invalid… I need to collect data from the current world… His armor… has it.”

“Then…” Blood瞳 thought for a moment. “Will it cause any changes to you? Like adding new functions?”

“Not for now… I need enough new data… The direction of evolution… needs to be decided by the host… However… his holographic system… I can simulate it… Do you want to add it to the evolution project? Add this function during the next evolution?”

“Oh, no. I don't need it for now.” Blood瞳 rejected the Core's suggestion. Although the suggestion was tempting, the holographic system wasn't very helpful to him. The weakness of this system was too obvious. It could only be used to confuse people weaker than him. Once faced with a strong opponent, it would only backfire, allowing the opponent to seize the opportunity to give him a fatal blow.

Just like what he did to Hector.

Walking out of the ruins, Blood瞳 looked up at the blue sky above, something he couldn't see on Planet X35. The jewel-like blue and the朵朵white clouds intoxicated his mind. Under his feet was an endless expanse of yellow sand. Stepping on it felt soft. He deactivated the armor and took out his personal smart device from his combat suit.

Turning on the smart device, Blood瞳 clumsily operated it. He wasn't very familiar with these high-tech gadgets. He only barely knew how to use them. Fortunately, with the translator function of the detector, communication wasn't a problem.

The smart device worked extremely efficiently. Almost as soon as it was turned on, it connected to the shuttle in space above his head. The screen flashed, and the figure of the attendant Jack appeared on the screen.

The guy was sitting in the control room, waiting anxiously. When he saw Blood瞳 appear, his eyes lit up. “Lord, you've finally connected. Did the mission go smoothly?”

“It's done. I'll confirm the information for you now,” Blood瞳 replied expressionlessly. He was very satisfied with Jack's attitude. Since the guy had gotten on Blood瞳's bandwagon, he had been working very hard, giving Blood瞳 a lot of help.

In fact, Jack's current position among the attendants was not bad. Blood瞳 knew that there were many girls chasing him. But Jack didn't have the energy to care. He was now focusing all his energy on himself, just to become a formal attendant as soon as possible.

“Ah, that's great.” Jack visibly breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that he was under a lot of pressure. This was Blood瞳's first mission, and the success or failure of the mission directly affected him. If the mission went smoothly, then it would mean that Blood瞳 was a trustworthy person. Otherwise, he really didn't know what his fate would be. He had bet everything on Blood瞳.

Next, the two confirmed the mission information. This information would be automatically sent back to the mercenary branch through the shuttle's data system. When everything was done, Jack asked cautiously again.

“Lord, should I come down to pick you up now? If you agree, the shuttle will arrive at your coordinates in fifteen minutes.”

“This…” Blood瞳 was about to agree when he suddenly heard a burst of gunfire from the other side of the ruins. He immediately changed his mind and said to Jack, “Wait a moment. I'll let you know when I want to go back.”

“Yes, Lord. But… please be careful, Lord. I just received information that a terrible wandering mercenary has also entered MS1 planet. Her nickname is the Bloodstained Twins. Lord Hensel asked me to inform you that if you encounter them, try to avoid them as much as possible. They are very strong, very strong.”

The Bloodstained Twins?

Hearing this name, Blood瞳 was stunned. Then he suddenly understood. Jack wouldn't know that he had already met these Bloodstained Twins, and that they got along quite well. But speaking of which, were these two children really that scary? Even Hensel specifically reminded him to avoid them?

While he was thinking, another burst of gunfire came from the other side of the ruins. Blood瞳 immediately turned off his personal smart device and took out his detector and put it on.

The detector returned a massive amount of data, and then searched for the location of the gunfire.

“Only five kilometers away from here?” Blood瞳 hesitated slightly, but decided to go over and take a look. He had a feeling that this gunfire was inseparable from those Bloodstained Twins.

Five kilometers was not far for Blood瞳. Although he didn't have a means of transportation, with his physical fitness, he was faster than an armored vehicle from the old era. In just a few minutes, Blood瞳 appeared near the gunfire. When he climbed up a sand dune, he immediately saw a bloody scene.

At the bottom of the sand dune, hundreds of corpses lay scattered, a large amount of blood seeping into the ground, dyeing the yellow sand red. In the middle of the corpses, a group of people huddled together, trembling. Among them was that fat pig lord.

Opposite the crowd were two children with sweet smiles on their faces. It was the Bloodstained Twins. But in between the crowd and them, Blood瞳 saw someone he didn't expect.

Robbie!

It was actually the priest Robbie!

He was wearing a clean priest's robe, not stained by the yellow sand at all. In his right hand, he held a Broken-Wing Butterfly, and he still had a gentle, sunny smile on his face. But Blood瞳 noticed that blood was dripping from his left hand. Another Broken-Wing Butterfly lay discarded at his feet.

Robbie… was actually injured?

Blood瞳's eyes narrowed. He knew how strong Robbie was. This sunny priest's marksmanship was almost godlike. Any gun in his hands seemed to come to life. As long as he had a gun in his hand, even Blood瞳 couldn't guarantee that he could get close to him.

But he could also be injured? Could it be that the Bloodstained Twins were already this powerful?

Looking at the Bloodstained Twins on the opposite side, Blood瞳 found that they were not under pressure at all. They were still smiling sweetly. The little girl, Mia, was holding a huge machine gun, which was even taller than her. A long ammunition belt extended from the gun, connecting to the ammunition box behind the little girl. The ground at her feet was covered with bullet casings, showing that the dense gunfire just now was from her.

The little boy, Bosi, was armed with a huge scythe. The blade of the scythe was not made of the usual alloy material, but a curved energy blade, spitting out energy in the sunlight. Judging from the weapon, the priest Robbie was injured by him.

“Brother Robbie…” A naive voice sounded in the field. “Why are you stopping us? Are we not allowed to carry out our mission? According to the mercenary rules, you are breaking the rules… My sister and I… are very unhappy…”

“Yes, Death-Announcing Priest,” the little girl also said with a sweet smile. “My brother and I are not happy. You are bad… If you continue to stop us, we will kill you…”

The voices of the two children were very sweet, but the words they spoke made everyone who heard them feel cold all over.

However, the priest Robbie obviously knew what kind of people these two children were, and was not surprised at all. He flicked his finger, and the Broken-Wing Butterfly in his hand suddenly disappeared, and instead he took out a roll of bandages and bandaged himself, still with a sunny and warm smile on his face.

“I'm sorry, Bosi and Mia, I don't want to be your opponent either… I won't stop you if you want to complete your mission… But… why do you have to torture and kill so many innocent people? Our Lord says that killing is the original sin, does that mean that you, who bear the curse, no longer care about more sins?”
