Peter had put together the words he had heard in the smart mecha earlier.

“The corpse of the Virgin Mary was not found after the explosion.”

As soon as Peter put together this sentence, the smart mecha had passed by the Enforcer. Without slowing down, Peter would not be able to hear what the Enforcer was saying in a few seconds.

This was something Peter could not control. After all, he could not allow No. 0 to control the smart mecha and return. However, the contents of the conversation he had just heard from the Enforcer were enough to surprise Peter.

The Virgin Mary was the most powerful person in the entire Mechanical City. According to the information he had looked up before, after hundreds of years of transformation, the Virgin Mary’s body had become a terrifying “monster.”

Very few people in the entire northern region had seen the true face of the Virgin Mary. Even within the Mechanical City, very few people had seen her.

Peter felt very puzzled after piecing together what he had heard from the Enforcer.

The reason for Peter’s surprise was very simple. The Enforcer had just said the word “corpse”. Even if he didn’t mean the corpse of the Virgin Mary, it was more or less related to the Virgin Mary.

Meanwhile, No. 0 controlled the smart mecha to advance. Behind the smart mecha, the Enforcer finally ended the call. However, the Enforcer did not leave immediately. Instead, he took out an object that looked like a detector from his bag.

Since Peter was inside the smart mecha, he was free to look in any direction. Thus, when he saw the Enforcer behind the smart mecha taking out the object, he was shocked.

This was not the first time Peter had seen the object in the hands of the Enforcer. He had seen this device in the body of Callie’s father, John, who was in New York Base City.

This was a device that could detect and collect human consciousness. It was similar to the device in John’s body previously, which surprised Peter. He didn’t understand why the Enforcer had taken out this device.

However, the Enforcer’s next move shocked Peter even more. The Enforcer, who was holding a device that could collect human consciousness, kept moving through the ruins as if he were looking for something. Peter guessed whether the Enforcer was actually searching for the consciousness of the Virgin Mary.

Could it be that the Virgin Mary, who controlled the Mechanical City, actually had a human consciousness?

There was only one consciousness that controlled the body of the Virgin Mary, and that was the original consciousness of the previous Virgin Mary. However, for some reason, the Virgin Mary said that she would choose a consciousness that was suitable for her body every 99 years.

It now seemed that the Virgin Mary must have lied to the outside world. If Peter had not been sitting inside the smart mecha and accidentally saw this scene, he would not have thought of such a strange thing.

As for why the Virgin Mary’s original consciousness had left her body, this was not something Peter could know, at least not for now. The smart mecha had already turned a corner with Peter and left the center of the explosion.

At this moment, No. 0’s voice also sounded.

“Master, I can’t control the smart mecha back to the center of the explosion. That will arouse the suspicion of the Enforcer. Furthermore, I just controlled the smart mecha to accept a mission.”

Peter also knew that he could not act as he pleased after entering the Mechanical City. However, No. 0 still aroused his curiosity when he mentioned that he had accepted a mission.

“No. 0, what is the mission that you’ve received?”

“Master, maintaining the operation of the Mechanical City requires a large number of cyborg and mechanical humans. Of course, there are also various Mecha Masters.”
