Chapter 1172 - Origin of the Soul Swapper (2/2)

“For what? Doesn’t mental reproduction feel great?”

“You say it as if you’ve tried.” Feidin was speechless.

Han Xiao scratched his nose, shifted the topic, and said, “So, you want me to find a body for Chen Xing?”

“Not just that…” Feidin said a little bit awkwardly. “She said she doesn’t want to use a second hand good someone else has already used, so she hopes to custom-make a body for which she can choose the shape and looks.”

“I can’t do that.” Han Xiao waved and rejected the request. “I’m just an ordinary Mechanic. Building machinery isn’t a problem, but creating humans isn’t my thing. Do you think I’m a god?”

“Can’t you use biological muscles, nanotechnology nerves, and so on to create a bionic human?”

“I can indeed, but that’ll require a chip. The consciousness staffed in it is in Virtual Soul format. It’s not compatible with the soul of a Psychic.”

“What about imitating the structure of a brain without using a chip?”

“Sure, I can do that, but I can’t say what side effects it’ll have.”

“What then?” Feidin felt a little defeated. “It’s not like we can kill a young and pretty female just to find her a body.”

“From the way I see it, you can find a pet first and transfer your wife into that temporarily. Isn’t that nice…”

“She said you’re becoming more and more perverted.” Feidin narrowed his eyes. “And I agree.”

“What are you guys thinking about?” Han Xiao rolled his eyes. You’re one to talk.

Feidin shook his head and said seriously, “I’ve already split off the parasite soul inside Aesop’s body. He’s recovered.”

“Oh ho, tell him to come and see me then. Let me see how he’s doing.”

“He’s already outside the door.”

Feidin signaled. The door was pushed open, and Aesop walked in. When he saw Han Xiao, he smiled bitterly.

Han Xiao sized Aesop up and said, “Old man, any side effects?”

“Nope, I feel normal now.”

Aesop sat down. He had a complicated expression on his face as he sighed and said, “Black Star, thank you for this. If not for you, Ames would definitely have been heavily affected.”

“Don’t say that. You wouldn’t have been targeted if it wasn’t for me.” Han Xiao shook his head.

“Alas, I’ve lived long enough. It doesn’t matter if I die or not. I just don’t want my death to affect Ames. I know her temper, she’d definitely do something she’ll regret under a fit of rage.”

Well, you got that right… Han Xiao thought.

“What are you planning to do now? Although you didn’t plan for this, Ames will be more cautious now. Even if you want to leave, you won’t be able to easily.”

“What else can I do but stay?” Aesop smiled bitterly. Originally, he had come to an agreement with Black Star that he would be leaving to travel around after this mission was complete, but clearly, that was not going to happen.

If Black Star did not notify Ames, he would not have been in such a troubling situation. But Black Star had saved him, so he, of course, had no reason to blame him.

Han Xiao caressed his chin and suddenly said, “Actually, I have an idea that’ll satisfy both sides.”

“Oh?” Aesop’s eyes gleamed as he said with anticipation, “Tell me about it.”

“It’s simple really. The Soul Swapper is in my hands now. I can swap your soul into someone strong, and then you’ll be able to follow others around for adventures. Although you can’t control the body, it’s better than rotting at home. Plus, your safety will be guaranteed.”

Aesop’s eyes gleamed. He was tempted.

“This is a good idea… then what about my body?”

“Easy, I can use the Spacetime Amber to store it… but I suggest you temporarily lend it to someone else, and I happen to have a candidate for that.

“Who?” Han Xiao pointed at Feidin, chuckled, and said, “You enter Feidin’s body, and Chen Xing will borrow your body. Isn’t that a perfect plan?”

Hearing this, the both of them felt a chill down their spine.

Thinking of his adorable wife becoming an old man, Feidin wanted to vomit.

Thinking of the fact that Feidin had a habit of fornicating in the mind, Aesop subconsciously tightened his legs.

“I’d rather die!” the two of them said simultaneously.

…

It was the day for another plenary meeting at the Beyond Grade A Association headquarters. The remote projections of various Beyond Grade As arrived at the venue outside the conference room, gathered in groups, chattered, and waited for the meeting to begin.

“Have you heard? Black Star fought the Mechanic Emperor again not long ago. He even won this time,” Sun Hunter said, floating in midair.

“We’re not living in a cave. Of course we’ve heard.” Kant tutted with his arm crossed. “Remember the fight we watched a few months ago? Black Star could only fight on par with the Mechanic Emperor at most back then. So little time has passed, and now he can already defeat Manison head-on, scary.”

“Hehe, Manison lost big time. Feels good.” A neutral Mechanic was laughing joyfully.

Kasuyi shook his head. “I know the Mechanic Emperor’s strength very well. To think that he still lost after using so many trump cards. It’s really unbelievable. I’ve seen the recording. Black Star seems to have learned some kind of new ability that happens to severely counter the Mechanic Emperor.”

Sierron snorted. “He just got lucky.”

“I personally object to your evaluation of his luck. You’re questioning my expertise,” Secret Master said with an expressionless face.

Sierron did not know how to respond to that.

“Speaking of which, I don’t know if I’m wrong, but the last Beyond Grade A weapons that the Mechanic Emperor took out at the end, aren’t they the three guys we know?” Milizaus asked hesitantly.

Once he said that, the entire place became silent for a moment. Everyone had a strange expression on their face.

To these senior Beyond Grade As, they knew who the Mechanic Emperor had defeated before, and some even knew them personally.

Seeing someone they were close to in the past getting modified by the Mechanic Emperor, they did not feel happy.

Although modifying living individuals was not forbidden, it was improper in the Beyond Grade A circle. Everyone had great powers. Once anyone was found to use something like this, all the Beyond Grade As would become cautious around that person due to fear of becoming their prey.

“I saw that Black Star captured two of them in the recordings. When he’s here later, we can ask him.” Kant shrugged.

At this time, another remote projection appeared not far away, and everyone looked over.

“Yo, speak of the devil.”
