Chapter 70: Familiarity breeds Affection

At the end of the factory, there were still three malfunctioning dolls lying down.

Previously, Simonov and MDR each pulled one out.

But now Simonov had fallen!

With her down, MDR naturally had a great advantage!

"Just a little more! Just a bit! Ahaha! Hooked! Miss MDR predicts here! The result of this match! Is three to two! ...Huh?"

Before MDR finished speaking, her whole body was lifted up and suspended in mid-air, as a hand suddenly reached out from behind her, grabbing the back of her collar and lifting her up. Simonov, who was next to her, was in the same situation...

"Huh? Commander?"

To be able to lift herself up with just one hand... Besides her own commander, MDR really couldn't think of anyone else...

"Hmph, the result of the match should be three to one to one.

Saying that, Reno turned around directly, waved his hand, and threw two dolls towards the entrance of the factory.

"Huh? Huh huh!"

The two dolls flailed their arms in panic and then crashed into the pile of cotton bales stacked at the factory door.

"Hey! Commander! You're cheating! There's no such thing as directly attacking opponents in a sports match!"

MDR hastily climbed up, but when she turned around, Reno had already carried out the three autonomous dolls.

"Objection overruled."

Handing over the three autonomous dolls to the ones gathered at the door, Reno looked towards the landlord who had just spoken.

"Mr. Reno, thank you for your help. Can I entrust you to help me find the mastermind behind this?"

Seeing Reno bringing out his own autonomous dolls, the landlord expressed his gratitude and asked.

For this person who had deceived him months ago, forcing him to vacate a factory and even stealing his dolls, he just wanted to expose him and give him a good beating, preferably sending him to prison for life!

Unfortunately, stealing a few autonomous dolls was not a crime that could land someone in prison for life in this day and age.

"It's not difficult. You can find him yourself. Just follow the unknown lines outside your factory and climb over a wall to find the mastermind. There's no need to commission someone else."

Knowing who the mastermind behind the electromagnetic interference was, Reno had already found him the day he came, following the wires. He had even warned him, but he didn't expect this guy to still take the risk.

"You can make directional electromagnetic interference devices, so why not do something else? Even if you can't, you can sell your technology and not end up in such a miserable state. Why do you have to focus on these ordinary autonomous dolls?"

Is there really that much profit in dealing with these ordinary autonomous dolls?

Indeed, doll traffickers could make a lot of profit, but they had dozens of trafficked dolls, and it was long-term.

But here, there was only one factory, and tossing in one or two autonomous dolls from time to time, even if they were sold, how much money could they make?

The autonomous dolls used in the factory were not high-level dolls to begin with, and with long-term labor, these dolls, like commercial vehicles or mining graphics cards, were prone to rapid internal aging. Even if they were dismantled and sold, they would not fetch a high price.

So Reno felt that the guy next door, besides having a screw loose in his head, had no reason to explain his actions.

"No, please, Mr. Reno, don't refuse! Just take it as my gratitude! If it weren't for your dolls, I might still think that the disappearing dolls in the factory were all supernatural events!" Mentioning supernatural events, the landlord suddenly felt itchy teeth with hatred, determined to make the guy who came to inspect the factory pay the price!

If it weren't for that guy, he wouldn't have been unaware of the anomaly in the factory for such a long time!

"Well, since you insist, I'll go there now and bring that guy over. Whether to send him to prison or deal with him myself afterwards, I don't care."

Although he had threatened that guy before, saying that if he used the interference device to affect his dolls again, he would hang him on the city's communication tower, but now he was in a good mood. After all, he hadn't received any less than he had ordered before, and he had even gotten some extra stuff.

Punishing that kid was left to the landlord to handle. Seeing how he was grinding his teeth, that kid probably wouldn't have a good time.

With the first time, the second time Reno found someone by climbing over the wall was a familiar route for him. And coincidentally, the kid with hair like a bird's nest was dragging a large trash can this time, intending to cover up the cables again.

"You!? I definitely didn't affect your factory this time!" It seemed that this guy remembered how Reno kicked his door three days ago. As soon as he saw Reno leaning against the wall, he immediately sat down in fright and shouted at Reno.

"It can't be said that you didn't affect it. After all, you caused a disturbance in the neighboring factory and attracted all my dolls over. But I'm in a good mood now, so I'll overlook the matter of hanging you on the communication tower. But business still needs to be done. You, come with me obediently!"

The slender body in Reno's hand was like a little chick. Before he could even get up, he was grabbed by Reno's neck and thrown over the wall.

Bang!

Ouch!

The young man who fell heavily to the ground cried out in pain, and when Reno jumped back and grabbed him again, he struggled unwillingly.

"No, no, no! You can't do this to me! You have no right to do this to me! You're not a member of the Garrison! And I have reasons! Let me go!" "Reasons? What reasons? Tell me, I'm curious. Anyway, I can't see what reasons you have. A good young man like you, why do something bad, and have to go steal dolls?" Hearing this, Reno even laughed out loud.

Being able to make a generator in his own narrow home, and even develop an electromagnetic weapon on his own, although it was just a rudimentary form, such technical prowess, even if he was a bit wasted, going to work as an electrician in Griffin would be better than stealing dolls here in this dark corner.

"That guy stole my dolls! I'm going to get back at him!"

"Stole!? Alexei! What do you mean by that!? You clearly said you didn't need Dalia and let me pay to buy her!"

Seeing Reno holding Alexei in his hand, the landlord ran over with some panic on his face. However, after hearing the words from Alexei's mouth, his panicked expression turned into a frown.

Confusion, annoyance, indignation, anyway, he really didn't expect the other party to say such things!

Renault could only raise a brow on this.

Oh, it seems they still recognizes each other. Then there's nothing for him to do here.

He pulled over a rope from the wall, tied up Alexei securely, and made sure he couldn't break free.

Then, Reno waved his hand at the landlord.

"You're welcome. After you're done, go find me over there."
