"The term 'mass-production machine' is not supposed to appear under such high-end technology in normal circumstances."

Although the Rose Doll is indeed like a living person, at the end of the day, it is still an artificial object.

Since it's artificial, it must possess non-human attributes.

If I'm not mistaken, this batch of mass-produced Rose Dolls... probably shares a single brain, like golems worldwide.

Only this can explain why, without seeing them move significantly, they can transmit information in the shortest time.

—Because there are similar mass-production machines elsewhere.

Soon, he received a jaw-dropping message from the Secret Guard.

"Is this a code left by the Cangqing Mechanical Corps?"

The Cangqing Mechanical Corps is not like large legions such as the White Crow Legion.

This is an independent combat unit affiliated with the Ense Empire's internal forces.

The significance of these teams is to master the powers of other extraordinary professions, enriching the Empire's means to covertly respond to different forces.

If it were Marvel, this independent team would be equivalent to the 'Anti-XX Armor' under Iron Man.

The purpose is to decipher the opponent's methods at critical moments.

The Cangqing Mechanical Corps was established over three hundred years ago, as a special team for high-level goblins within the Ense's ranks.

In layman's terms, this is a special squad built on mechanical modifications, bionic beings, and AI artificial intelligence.

Although it's a magical version.

But now, the Cangqing Mechanical Corps has been decommissioned.

101 years ago, it was confirmed internally within Ense that the entire Cangqing Mechanical Corps was wiped out.

Although there have been new replacement teams appearing subsequently, they're never the original Cangqing Mechanical Corps.

Secret Guard said in front of Louis that this piece of code indicates something left by the Cangqing Mechanical Corps, which specifically refers to the squad that disappeared back then.

The previous leader of the Cangqing Mechanical Corps possessed a special ability to change the effect of alchemical potions by infusing them with blood energy, turning them into 'resurrection elixirs.'

The effect of the elixir is that it allows the user to come back to life for a short time, maintain activity for a while, and even grants inorganic life forms life for a short time.

With this technology, the Cangqing Mechanical Corps wielded a terrifying advantage in gathering goblin intelligence.

However, during the process of mastering this ability, Andas, the last leader, underwent a mutation.

Andas's technique permanently lost the ability to resurrect, but it granted him another talent.

The machinery he infused with blood energy developed the ability to become active.

During one mission, Andas lost an arm, so he crafted a mechanical arm and used his mutated ability to activate it, turning it into a biotic prosthetic.

Later, Andas received full support from the Ense Research Institute and created special individuals similar to bionic and AI robots.

This made the last Cangqing Mechanical Corps into a 'one-man unit' based on Andas's unique power.

Louis got to know this man by accident.

He learned about him while chatting with Gandalf of the White Tower.

The tower spirit [Ense 4000A] used by the White Tower today is a legacy from Andas over a hundred years ago.

For over a hundred years, the White Tower has been using the tower spirit from back then without any additional modifications.

That is to say, Andas's creations were at least a hundred years ahead of the mainstream tower spirit technology today.

If it were other fields, it wouldn't matter.

After all, soldier professions like this update so slowly that it's hard to innovate related technologies.

But tower spirit science is exclusive to the mage profession.

And the Magic Realm is the academic domain most similar to the research world of a past life.

Their rapid speed in technological advancement in certain fields even surpasses that of the past life research world.

For over a hundred years, suppressing certain areas of the research domain, this is Louis's perspective on Andas, the last leader of the Cangqing Mechanical Corps.

Yet, 101 years ago, the Cangqing Mechanical Corps suddenly vanished.

Soon after, the Ense internally confirmed the complete loss of the Cangqing Mechanical Corps.

No one knows where the Cangqing Mechanical Corps perished.

At that time, they were executing several confidential missions.

According to the intelligence displayed in the codes, the last mission of the Cangqing Mechanical Corps was at Lady Xilin's old residence.

"The power of the four gods resides in the genius's painting; we failed, the Evil God's power is stronger than we imagined."

"[Love] polluted the space-time, [Kevlar] completely mutated, becoming the vessel of Abyssal Pus."

"Unable to turn back, I could only choose to launch the final ritual, destroying everyone along with the pollution of 'The One Beloved' painting."

"If any brother legion comes here, please pass the message to the supreme emperor."

"Even if we cannot cure the apocalyptic disaster, we took the first steps ahead of His Majesty."

"The Cangqing Mechanical Corps does not fail the blood of our ancestors."

"What is the beloved?"

Louis pondered over this question.

The Secret Guard beside him said: "According to the database records, this should refer to Lady Xilin's posthumous work 'The One Beloved.'"

"It is rumored that Lady Xilin painted it for her husband."

"That painting is said to be her second to last artwork."

"However, no one knows this artwork, only Lady Xilin's maid mentioned its existence."

Louis was stunned.

How could a painting be connected to the Four Abyssal Gods and the Cangqing Mechanical Corps?

As for [Love] and [Kevlar] mentioned in the encryption, they are the magical version of AI robots and bionic beings Louis knew earlier.

For heaven's sake, both members were life extensions based on Andas's original power.

Logically, such a "life contract" between the creator and the created should not be twisted.

Yet, these two entities indeed betrayed.

The Secret Guard calmly said:

"The problem isn't with [Love] and [Kevlar], but with Andas himself."

"He was likely contaminated by the power of the Four Abyssal Gods, although he could barely suppress it, yet his nature had changed."

"This fundamental change was the reason for the madness among other members."

"Because Andas himself had gone mad."

Louis looked at the Secret Guard and curiously said:

"What's the reason for your judgment?"

The Secret Guard calmly said:

"Andas received full support from the Ense Research Institute and eventually got [Love] and [Kevlar] as two members."

"[Love] refers to Andas's lifelong love, his wife whom he could never find again."

"[Kevlar] refers to his son who died young, the pain he could never truly face in life."

"To allow the [Love] machine to possess the characteristics of a living person's soul, the Ense Research Institute and Andas jointly developed 'life code'."

"To make the [Kevlar] bionic being have growth characteristics like a real person, they further modified ancient technology."

"In the 2nd year after Andas's passing, [Kevlar] technology became fully formed, known as 'Mass-Production Rose Doll Body Manufacturing Technology.'

"In the 5th year after Andas's passing, [Love] technology was fully formed, known as 'Artificial Soul "Life Code" Technology.'

"Thus the mass-production Rose Doll machine technology finally became complete."

The Secret Guard lifted his head and looked at Louis:

"I and my siblings are the extension of Lord Andas's technology."

"Additionally, I can sense that the [Kevlar] machine is still sealed in this house."

Louis was startled and said in shock:

"[Kevlar] is still sealed here?"

The Secret Guard nodded and said:

"Yes, as a similar machine, I can barely sense Kevlar's traces."

"If you need, I can help you find Kevlar's presence."

"He should be sealed by Lord Andas within a demi-plane."

Louis nodded and said:

"Let's consider what to do after Beatrice arrives."

After all, this matter involves the Four Gods, and any matter related to them demands preparation in advance.
