My Cell Prison

Praise the machinery! Praise the steam!

Knowledge is power, and Mr. Newton is the pioneer of the world with infinite wisdom.

Please wait and listen, the mechanical age is coming!

The sound of the mechanized mission resounded through the streets.

crimson robes with copper-plated sides,

Data prosthetic eyes and semi-wrapped respirators,

The skull structure is preserved, and the rest is replaced by a full-body-steam-powered combat body,

In the middle of the belt is a disc-shaped mechanical teaching article - Book Gear badge, and at the same time there is a thick brass-covered book - Mechanical Canon written by Newton on both sides.

There are four tentacle-like mechanical appendages installed on the back, which can improve work efficiency and allow them to kill enemies faster in battle.

These are the [priests] from the Mechanicus. They are more deeply transformed than the residents, and they have even modified the front lobes of the brain to a certain extent, so as to serve the church more purely.

Promote the loftiness of Mechanicism, the importance of knowledge, and attract more people to join the religion.

At the same time, they will also deal with some steam city residents who have unclean consciousness in advance.

It is not the 'friendly' missionaries who are currently coming to the French factory.

Instead, it was a squadron of priests that was fully armed and had a size of forty people.

They did not come here to preach, but the supervision database of [Holy Ring] issued a red warning, showing that more than five people in the factory belonged to the potential hidden dangers of the dangerous type.

indeed.

The factory manager, Frankie, has a certain rejection of 'human transformation'.

He believes that mechanical energy serves human beings and can be used by human beings.

Facilitates life and even fights dangers outside the city, but he disapproves of mixing machinery with the human body.

Especially those church organizations that reject Mechanicism and attempt to reshape the brain.

Therefore, the technicians recruited by Franky and his factory are almost the same in concept and belong to the [conservatives] in Steam City.

Physical modifications are acceptable to them, but brain modifications are absolutely not allowed.

is also like this.

With the expansion of the power of the sect, the Mechanic God Cult has come here again and again, using the excuse of 'impurity of thinking', in an attempt to bring the technicians here to the Holy Ring for mandatory transformation.

However, Franky also left behind.

There are also a group of strong conservatives in Steam City, which also involves a captain-level figure in the Steam Knights.

At the same time, the gold master also said in person that the Mechanicus must follow the voluntary wishes of the residents when recruiting priests.

Frankie kept in touch with the conservative knights in secret. Once the Mechanicists came to the door, he would immediately contact the conservative knights... When the knights came to the rescue, these priests would not dare to show their faces. Arrested.

But this time is different.

The anxiety factor detected by the Holy Ring is too high.

After obtaining permission, a squadron came to the door.

The leader of the team is a steam knight holding a law - wearing heavy steam armor and holding a giant power axe. This knight is three times larger than the average priest.

The continuous release of pressure made the workers here unable to breathe at all.

I hereby read out the mandatory arrest order issued by [Divine Circle], and Franky and all the workers in the factory will be taken to Divine Circle for a 'mind review'.

On the mental level, those disturbed by blasphemous mechanical thoughts will be dealt with seriously in accordance with the laws of the Holy City.

take away!

The decree is here, and there is no room for manoeuvre at all.

Forty mechanic priests, who had undergone deep transformation and possessed infinite fighting power close to the knights, immediately forcibly restrained all the workers.

It was when a priest approached the factory manager, Franky.

On the factory assembly line, a semi-finished robot suddenly moved.

In an instant, he moved a distance of ten meters and got close to the priest.

One punch!

Ka Ka ~ (mechanical disintegration sound)

Various mechanical parts are scattered.

The torso and limbs were completely disintegrated.

Only one head rolled to the ground, staring at the 'suddenly resurrected' mechanical puppet, his face full of horror.

This bizarre situation not only made the priests bewildered, but even the workers here did not know what was going on.

The mechanical dolls manufactured by them are only shells, and they need to be sent to the steam column through the underground transportation pipeline, and the brains can be installed on them by the high-level life technicians inside to carry out various activities.

Moreover, these dolls are not inherently fighting, let alone a powerful priest can be smashed to pieces with one punch.

Only Director Franky knew what was going on.

Only his friend - [Puppeteer Charlie] can do this.

What is this? It's hard for you guys to secretly implant an intelligent system into the mechanical puppet? What a blasphemy this is!

The priest was injured, which directly attracted the attention of the steam knight.

Moving a huge steam armor, it came to the resurrected 'mechanical puppet', driven by a hydraulic device.

Zizizi!

The steam roared, and the ton-level power axe was crushed heavily.

when!

The air pressure dissipated, and even the entire factory was shaking.

The next scene left everyone stunned.

The unfinished robot puppet on the production line caught the drive slash released by a steam knight with its weak arms.

The iron plate standing under his feet is sunken with a large circular pit.

To be fair, this weight has long exceeded the theoretical limit of the doll.

The reason why it can bear it is that some unseen threads are interspersed in the body of the doll, and the torso is improved several times.

Secretly controlling a half-finished puppet can fight back and forth with a steam knight, this is the strength of [Puppet Master-Charlie].

In the rest room on the second floor of the factory.

Charlie Knight exuded a subtle hostility all over his body, a hostile aura that should have been wiped out by Captain Hugo in ten years... If it were changed to the past, Charlie might have killed all these guys due to his irritability.

at this time.

Han Dong held the timid Mia with one hand and put one hand on Charlie's shoulder.

Senior Charlie, I have almost gained a comprehensive understanding of Steam City along the way... In the next time, you can catch up with Factory Manager Frank here.

Let me handle things in the factory to avoid complications.

Anyway, I have to go to the [Holy Ring] to see Mr. Newton.

It just happened to let these priests take me there, and it also saved time... During the Great Expedition, I hope the seniors will take care of me.

Charlie was silent for a while, nodded silently, and withdrew his anger.

……Um.

Han Dong stared at Knight Charlie, whose current mood immediately returned to normal. He remembered the terrifying existence that was called the Puppet Demon at the Knights Conference ten years ago, and almost killed the contestants in front of the entire Holy City.

I have to say that Head Hugo really has a hand.

Han Dong, who stepped out of the lounge, stood by the handrail in the corridor on the second floor, cleared his throat, and then expanded his voice.

Hey! Don't you guys know that I, Dr. Nicholas, are experimenting with life machinery here?

Dr. Nicholas? Who?
