Chapter 356 Countermeasure

The rerun of the live-action show wasn't a big deal for Azi, but just after she finished speaking, she felt something was amiss. How could there be two Sun Jacks?

First she glanced at Sun Jack, then her eyes widened as she looked at the Sun Jack in the screen, "Wait! If he is the real Sun Jack, then who are you?!"

At that moment, Sun Jack's mind was racing. Hearing the surprise in the other's voice, he immediately realized an opportunity to extricate himself had arrived.

He responded with a slight smile, guiding the other person to think in a direction that favoured him.

"Heh heh heh, I never said I was the real Sun Jack, did I? I simply let you guess, and you guessed wrong."

Azi fiercely pushed Sun Jack away and covered her throat, retching. "You liar!! Ugh~! You actually tricked me into kissing you!"

Seeing this, Sun Jack instantly clenched his fists; he knew his method was working. "Good, as long as the other person believes I'm not Sun Jack, they can't threaten me with mere words!"

However, before Sun Jack could even rejoice for half a second, a clicking sound occurred, and the highly saturated room instantly turned sinister and frightening. The walls and floor began to move and twist rapidly, all the furniture pointing their sharp ends at Sun Jack.

"Damn it, this guy's room is alive, just like Sun Zizhan's house!"

Just as this thought surfaced in Sun Jack's mind, he felt the blood in his body begin to flow in reverse due to gravity, and his bones made noises as if they were about to snap.

He recognized this sensation; it was the Gravitational Weapon of the Holy Grail.

It seemed that once Azi confirmed that the Sun Jack in front of her was a fake, she was prepared to show no mercy.

As Sun Jack's body was about to fall apart, he quickly retreated to the left, shouting, "Wait! Killing me is pointless! You want the real Sun Jack, don't you? I have a way! I can help you capture the real Sun Jack!"

"You think I would believe you again?! You deceiver!" Azi glared at Sun Jack fiercely.

Nanoworms on Sun Jack's Battle Armor connected to each other, forming an Exoskeleton Armor, enduring the pressure of the unknown gravitational force.

"You secretly switch me in! Let's figure out a way together, sneakily switch the real Sun Jack with me directly! Then you can take the real Sun Jack and do whatever you want with him! I'll become the new Sun Jack acting in the show!"

Sun Jack learned something from Abu, which was how to become friends with an enemy that couldn't otherwise be dealt with, or at least to align mutual interests.

As Sun Jack finished speaking, he saw Azi stop her attack, and he knew he had gambled correctly.

She hovered in midair, looking at the Sun Jack in front of her then at the Sun Jack in the show, her expression wavering with hesitation.

"Wait, I feel like you're using me. What's your real purpose? Why do you want to be the protagonist of 'Revolution Sun Jack'? What are your ulterior motives?"

Hearing this, Sun Jack became unruffled. He stood there, looking at the girl in the distance with a mysterious smile, "I am with X, and as for the rest, I believe you can understand without me explaining, right?"

"Oh~!" Azi suddenly had an epiphany, "So that's what's going on, now I get it."

Seeing this, Sun Jack went on a mental tirade, "What do you get, you get nothing, I don't even understand what I'm saying myself!"

However, through the other's reaction, Sun Jack realized something—that the feud between Guan Sanke and X was no longer a secret within the Holy Grail.

From the information he had gathered previously, it seemed that X was involved in virtual games, which directly competed with Guan Sanke's live-action shows in the entertainment market; they would vie for each other's audience, since people playing virtual games wouldn't watch live-action shows and vice versa.

To deepen the other party's trust in him, Sun Jack decided to fleece X a little more.

"How about it? If you still have doubts, you can contact X, you can test it out to see if I really belong to him or not."

Seeing Sun Jack's unequivocal stance, Azi couldn't resist her curiosity and contacted X.

Observing the subtle changes in X's expressions on the screen, Azi started to believe Sun Jack's story around eighty to ninety percent.

"How about it?! Join us," Sun Jack asked again. "This way, you'd own the real Sun Jack, the only Sun Jack that belongs solely to you."

Azi pondered the decision. As a fan, she longed for the real Sun Jack, but to offend Guan Sanke for this seemed like a bad deal, especially since he valued the big-money show above everything else.

After some hesitation and struggle, Azi decided to take a chance, "If even I can't discern this guy, then the other viewers definitely wouldn't be able to tell whether this Sun Jack is real or fake, and if something goes wrong, we can just pin the blame on X."

After thinking it through, Azi nodded at Sun Jack, "Deal!"

As soon as her words fell, the previously terrifying room instantly returned to normal, becoming bright and sunny.

Sun Jack had snuck in earlier, but upon leaving, he was able to stand proudly beside Azi, join her entourage, and directly fly out of the Holy Grail on a spaceship.

Glancing at Azi beside him, Sun Jack's mind started to race, deciding to use this opportunity to probe and gather some useful intelligence.

"Don't worry, there's no danger. Guan Sanke is like a grasshopper at the end of autumn; he won't be hopping for much longer. He's not relying just on me."

"Hmph, you all say that to outsiders, everyone knows that the faces in public are just for show, the real power is held by those unseen," Azi said, taking off her boots and placing her foot, slightly steaming with white vapor, on Sun Jack's leg.

"Heh, is that so? I know Guan Sanke has big ambitions, he wants to use this show to promote new genetic programming technology, but it's not that easy to do," Sun Jack bluffed, using what he had overheard at the coffee shop before.

"Yeah, that's why there are obstructions from the Conservative Faction like you, right?" Azi winked at Sun Jack.

"Everyone knows that genetic programming technology is practical and powerful with no risk of rejection or cybernetic psychosis, but if everyone could be like Sun Jack, block out pain, regenerate limbs, who would need metallic prosthetics anymore? He's treading on all the prosthetic companies' turf. Frankly, I'm not surprised at you guys making a move against 'Revolution Sun Jack'."
