Rocot: Reborn

Su Wei walked to the corner of the bar, dialed a number, and said in a low voice: "Hello, it's me, help me check something..."

She had her back to Rocot, so her expression couldn't be seen, but from her slightly trembling shoulders, it could be seen that she was not in a calm mood at the moment.

"The chip... yes, it's completely black, without any markings... The energy fluctuations are very strange, like some kind of mental control..." Su Wei's tone became more and more serious, "I suspect it is..."

She didn't say anything else, just took a deep breath, whispered "I understand", and hung up the phone.

Roccod sat at the bar bored, looking at Su Wei's back, his heart itching like a cat's claws. He hated the feeling of being kept in the dark, especially by a woman.

"Hey, woman, what the hell are you doing?" Rocot finally couldn't help asking, "Why don't you just say it? I hate being fooled the most!"

Su Wei turned around, walked in front of him, threw the chip on the table, and said coldly: "I think you are very interested in this thing?"

Roccod raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He just picked up the chip and looked at it carefully.

The chip felt cold to the touch, and gave off a strange smell, as if tempting him to touch it and explore the secrets within.

"What the hell is this?" Rocot asked, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

Su Wei sat down opposite him, poured herself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then slowly said: "Remember the organization you asked me to investigate before? 'Night Owl'..."

Rocot's pupils shrank suddenly, and the wine glass in his hand almost slipped.

"You...what did you say? Is this thing related to the 'Night Owl'?" Roccod's voice was a little hoarse, and he was obviously shocked by the news.

"That's right." Su Wei nodded, her tone solemn, "I just checked, this chip is the latest research result of 'Night Owl', called 'Puppet Heart'. It is said that as long as this chip is implanted into the human body, it can control the person's thoughts and actions, turning them into an emotionless killing machine..."

"What?!" Rocot stood up suddenly, and the chip in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

He never imagined that this tiny chip could possess such terrifying power!

If what Su Wei said is true, then...

A terrible thought suddenly flashed through Roccod's mind. He looked at Su Wei with horror and disbelief in his eyes:

"You...you mean, they want to turn me into..."

"They want to turn you into - their puppet." Su Wei said word by word, her tone so cold as if she was announcing a person's death sentence.

"Puppet?!" Roccod felt a chill running from his feet to his head. He grabbed Su Wei's shoulders with such force that he almost crushed her bones. "Don't f*cking scare me! I'm the King of Darkness. Who can control me?!"

Su Wei was startled by his sudden action, but she quickly calmed down, pried his hands apart with force, and said coldly: "Who do you think you are? You are just a loser who crawled out of the grave! The technology of 'Night Owl' is far more powerful than you think, and 'Puppet Heart' is their highest masterpiece. As long as the chip is implanted in your nervous system..."

"Shut up!" Rocot slammed his fist on the table in anger, causing the wine glass and chips to jump up. He could not accept the fact that he had become someone else's puppet, let alone a rat like Night Owl who hid in the gutter!

"Oh, are you angry out of shame?" Su Wei met his gaze fearlessly, with a mocking arc on her lips, "How come the once invincible King of Darkness is also afraid?"

"I'm scared?!" Roccod seemed to have heard some big joke. He stood up suddenly and looked down at Su Wei condescendingly. "Would I be scared? I'm just... just..."

He just kept saying "just" for a long time, but couldn't explain why. Su Wei was right, he was afraid, he was afraid that everything he had worked so hard to build would be gone again, afraid that he would become a pawn in the hands of others, and even more afraid that he would no longer be able to control his own destiny.

"You'd better pray that what you said is false, otherwise..." Rocot's voice was terribly low, as if he was suppressing a beast that was about to explode.

"What else?" Su Wei looked at him provocatively, "Kill me to silence me? Or do you already have a plan to deal with it?"

Rocot did not answer. He turned abruptly and strode out of the bar.

"Where are you going?!" Su Wei shouted behind him.

"Go find someone who can solve this thing!" Rocot said without looking back, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Su Wei looked at his departing back with a complex expression in her eyes. She knew that Roccod was really scared this time, but she also knew that the pride and ambition in this man's bones would never make him give in easily.

"'Night Owl', 'Puppet Heart'..." Su Wei muttered to herself, with a trace of determination in her eyes, "It seems that a bloody storm is inevitable..."

She picked up the chip on the table and rubbed it gently, her eyes gradually becoming cold and firm.

At this time, Roccod was already driving his black hoverbike through the neon-lit city. He was going to find someone, one of the few people in the world who could compete with the technology of "Night Owl".

That person was his old acquaintance and his most trusted partner, but they later parted ways due to different ideologies. Now, he has to put aside the past grudges and seek help from the other person, because this concerns his survival and the future of the entire world...
