Chapter 355 Striving for Compromise

The laser beam, swift as a bolt of lightning, pierced directly into Azi's eyeballs filled with shock.

Almost in that instant, with a hiss, the beam vaporized her brain behind the eyeball, leaving a round hole in her skull.

Yet, it wasn't over; Sun Jack's prosthetic hand instantly switched to a cannon muzzle, and he fired several shots into the opponent's abdomen in quick succession.

The intense explosions even caused Sun Jack's battle armor to stand on end, shielding him from the recoil damage, let alone what they did to the other's body.

As Sun Jack activated all the prosthetics on his body, a series of explosions erupted, and Azi's slender young figure, with hardly any reaction, was immediately torn to pieces.

Even so, Sun Jack was not at ease, for in this accursed place, even Old Six had a spare heart, who knew how many life-support devices the Holy Grail Person might be hiding.

He spun the laser rod quickly, slicing the remains like a propeller until he was sure there was not a single piece larger than 5 cubic centimeters, only then did he finally stop.

Sun Jack, still shaken, quickly looked around, and when he was sure that none of these clones were attacking him, he immediately picked the smallest loli-type Tapai, thrust his weapon into her body, and following the user manual for Tapai, extracted all the smart chips.

With these chips, Tapai's intelligence level could be restored from N2 back to N5.

This trip to the Holy Grail, he had achieved both his goals and an ecstatic Sun Jack immediately turned around, pushing open the door, ready to retreat.

However, just as he was about to open the room door, a powerful electric current ran through the metal door and coursed through Sun Jack's entire body in an instant.

"Jack, leaving so soon? I thought you would stay with me a little longer," rang a familiar voice that wiped the excitement from Sun Jack's heart in an instant.

By the time Sun Jack's battle armor blocked the current and he turned around, he saw Azi, whom he had chopped to pieces earlier, slowly rising from the cracked ground.

Her body and clothes were unchanged from before, and Sun Jack almost thought he hadn't done anything, but the bloody remains on the floor proved these were two different people.

Although he knew it was unlikely he could kill a Holy Grail Person so easily, the sight of her standing unscathed made Sun Jack's face turn particularly grim.

After a second, Sun Jack immediately questioned the Matrix.

"If even slicing up the body is useless, it means that the body just now was nothing but her puppet! Matrix, where would a Holy Grail Person typically keep their real body?"

"Impossible, the Holy Grail doesn't have that kind of technology, when I was at the Holy Grail, it was always one body, just with the highest level of security for safety," the Matrix responded.

Hearing this, Sun Jack realized that the information in this guy's head was not very useful anymore.

After all, she was only a fake Holy Grail Person, not a real one. General knowledge about the Holy Grail was fine, but the vital information that Holy Grail People used to save their lives had never been implanted in her false memories.

While Sun Jack was racking his brain for solutions, Azi, with tearful eyes, began to speak.

"I'm so sad, I thought you really wanted me, it turns out I was just deluding myself. Fine, you can go," as Azi spoke, the door that was firmly closed behind Sun Jack actually did begin to slowly open.

"?" Sun Jack was initially confounded by the other party's abnormal behavior, but based on their crazed train of thought, he activated all of his protective gear and cautiously moved toward the door, on full alert.

Ten meters, five meters, one meter! Even as Sun Jack emerged from the room, Azi and the surrounding clones remained perfectly still.

As the circular hole in the wall slowly opened up, regardless of whether it was a trap or not, he decided to take his chances. Intense flames of anger burst forth behind Sun Jack, and as he dashed toward the exit with an afterimage trailing behind him, a soft, gentle voice drifted from behind.

"I've recorded everything about your journey here, and if you leave, I'll broadcast it all over the Holy Grail, you know."

"Fuck, I knew it!" Sun Jack came to a abrupt halt at the doorway of the wall. The other side wasn't engaging in physical attacks as expected, but had started to use verbal threats.

What was worse, their threats were genuinely effective.

Sun Jack turned around, looking back at the agitated girl whose face was flushed with excitement. Despite her seemingly mad appearance, one couldn't be a Holy Grail Person and be a fool.

"What the hell do you want?!"

"I don't really want anything, I just want you to rape me!" The other party rushed over excitedly, grabbed Sun Jack's hand, and tried to shove it inside her clothes.

Annoyed, Sun Jack violently withdrew his hand, but in the next second, the other party flew into the air, grabbed Sun Jack's chin with one hand, and looked down at him.

"Hmph, stop struggling, and just give in. After all, Sun Jack, you don't want Guan Sanke to find out you sneakily visited the Holy Grail, do you?"

Sun Jack looked hopelessly at the girl before him, never having imagined he would one day be blackmailed for such a reason.

Facing the ever-closer visage of the other, and his current predicament, Sun Jack could not figure out how to break the deadlock. In terms of both strength and threats, the other held a vice-like grip on his life, leaving him no room to counter.

"If all else fails, I'll just stabilize the situation with her first, then seek an opportunity," Sun Jack thought, unable to come up with any other strategy at the moment.

"Damn it, it's just some weird sexual fetish! I've faced Si Ai without fear; why should this scare me?! Compared to what my deceased companions went through, what does this count for?" Sun Jack steeled his heart, grabbed the other's head, and kissed her fiercely.

While Sun Jack and the other's tongues were fervently entangled, and he was kissing while thinking about how to calm her down later, he felt the soft palm of the other gently stroking his head.

Azi pointed towards the three-dimensional TV floating on the left with her finger, and with her mouth full of Sun Jack's, mumbled unclearly, "Quick, look! 'Revolution Sun Jack' is back on!"

"What?" Sun Jack turned in surprise towards the television and upon seeing Sun Jie on the screen, worriedly gazing at Tapai, he blurted out.

"So soon?! After stirring up such sensitive issues, it's unbelievable that they've resumed broadcasting in such a short time."

Upon hearing this, Azi, who was already lying in Sun Jack's arms, gave him a disdainful look.

"Of course, just look at all my Clone People merchandise in this room. The IP of 'Revolution Sun Jack' is so profitable, loosening the review process is only natural."
