MTLNOVEL Chapter 455: Chapter 455: The Plan Failed
"Why did you pick up so many useless junk?"
Through the monitoring system inside the spacecraft, Renault also saw the parts that the Rippers and UMP9 had removed from the cabin, as well as the Manticore standing in the hangar, looking lost.
Although he didn't know why, Renault felt that the Manticore, which had been forcibly brought back and was now pacing back and forth in the hangar, clearly resembled a pet brought to a strange place.
"Well, how can you say it's useless? This! Commander! Look at this! This guy can always be useful, right?"
Hearing Renault's words, UMP45 shook Ouroboros in her hand.
It was unclear whether this girl had accepted her fate or if the energy in her body had been exhausted, but she was held in UMP45's hand and shaken without any reaction from her.
"This guy? Isn't this Ouroboros who was created a while ago? I remember this girl's command authority is a little higher than ours."
Seeing that something interesting was unfolding on Renault's side, Intruder looked at the Ouroboros in UMP45's hand and spoke in a daze.
"She?" Hearing Intruder's words, HK416 raised an eyebrow. "Bringing a group of armored units just to encircle and suppress two tactical dolls, and failing—at this level, can she get higher authority than you?"
It was laughable that these units were wasted and lost against two outgunned dolls.
Although AK12 and AN94 would have been killed by Ouroboros if UMP45 and the others hadn't intervened, what good would this behavior have done to the Sangvis Ferri?
It was just two tactical dolls. Although their combat power was indeed much stronger than other Griffin dolls, they were only two tactical dolls after all. Spending so much power to kill them was not only of no benefit to the Sangvis Ferri, but it also exposed all their previously hidden strength.
Renault didn't know why Sangvis would give such a young doll such high authority.
UMP45 simply shrugged and spoke, "So, Commander, how about our reward this time?"
"I know. I won't forget you. Although the money from Angelia hasn't been transferred yet, I'll pay you first."
Anyway, it wasn't much money, so he could still afford this pocket change.
"Hehe! I knew the commander was the most generous!" Upon hearing this, UMP45 put Ouroboros on the workbench and nudged UMP40 with her elbow.
"Thank you, Commander!" UMP40 also said hurriedly after being reminded by UMP45. When she spoke, the two of them found that their rewards had been credited.
Obviously, Renault had already transferred the money before speaking, as they didn't see him taking out his phone. Besides, it takes time to transfer money, so how could it be credited without him moving his hands?
"Go ahead, and don't forget to record the damage to the aircraft. I'll find someone to maintain it later."
"Understood!"
UMP45 heard this and ran out of the workshop with UMP40. HK416 also said goodbye to Renault and turned to leave the workshop.
AK12 and AN94 had been arranged to rest in the lounge. These two were worthy of being specially made military tactical dolls by the Statesec. After such a mission, although they looked a little worse for wear, their bodies didn't have any serious injuries—only some minor scratches and small wounds from bumps.
Originally, UMP45 had asked if they needed repairs, but AK12 refused, citing that the condition of their bodies was special and it wasn't appropriate for Renault to repair them.
Renault was happy to be free. After all, it wouldn't be long before these two would be sent back to Angelia.
It was just an evacuation, and the pickup point provided by Angelica wasn't far away. Besides, they were now aboard a spaceship, so even at cruising speed, it would take less than three hours.
"What should we do with this guy? Will she be fixed?" Seeing that several dolls had left the workshop, Intruder looked at Renault curiously while untying the restraints on Ouroboros.
"It depends on the situation. This girl... I remember that she didn't seem to be very..."
After untying the restraints on Ouroboros, Renault was speaking when the Ouroboros, which had been lying on the workbench without any reaction, suddenly opened her eyes!
The still-intact hands shot at Renault like pistols!
"... Not honest."
Waving his hands to slap away Ouroboros's hands, Renault looked at the girl on the workbench, who had turned over and sat up, seemingly trying to use the workbench as support to pounce on him.
Pretend to be dead, then kill or hold the commander hostage once someone untied the cable ties, and then escape. That was probably the plan in Ouroboros's mind.
Of course, if it had been a normal commander, her plan would have failed. After all, how could a normal commander untie the restraints on this doll by themselves, let alone approach such a dangerous person without any guards?
But encountering Renault was Ouroboros' worse choice after all...
How could a human wave her attack aside!?
This was not scientific at all! The performance of the Sangvis doll Body far exceeded that of normal humans! Not to mention two hands—just one finger would be fatal to normal humans!
"Pfft! Look at the expression on her face! Hahaha! That frustrated look is priceless! Oh! I almost forgot! Let me take a picture! This is a great opportunity for a souvenir!"
Looking at Ouroboros, whose face was filled with shock and anger, Intruder imitated MDR and took out her phone to record Ouroboros's expression.
In fact, even without using a phone to record, their dolls could capture videos and images from their memories, but taking pictures with a phone still amused Intruder.
After all, the surprised or annoyed expression on the other's face after the shutter clicked was enough to make her happy for a while.
"You! Intruder!? You! Why are you in this place? Why are you just standing there? Have you betrayed us!?" Looking at Intruder who was taking pictures of her with a phone, Ouroboros roared angrily.
"Rebellion? No, no, no, I just changed jobs. Don't put it so harshly. Anyway, Sangvis Ferri might have used the data I stored in the server to rebuild another Intruder. The result would be the same, with or without me."
Intruder was obviously very open-minded about this. Her current life where she spent most of her time doing nothing is something clearly suited her better than before.
She wasn't a workaholic like Scarecrow who felt uncomfortable without work all day.
