Living substances such as blood, flesh, and cells were completely different from dead objects such as crystals and metals in the feedback of spiritual waves.

With this feature, Meng Chao easily scanned the limbs and bones of the auto mechanic, which were all embedded with strengthened joints made of alloy.

One of his legs had been completely replaced with a metal frame from the pelvis to the ankle. The interior of the metal frame seemed to be embedded with a blade as thin as a cicada’s wing. If necessary, it could tear through the flesh and rip itself out.

On top of that, Meng Chao also found that this guy’s vertebrae had been implanted with rings that looked like optical cables.

The objects spiraled up from his tailbone all the way to the brain.

Hundreds of metal wires were separated from the vertebrae and perfectly connected to the different parts of the guy’s brain.

In addition, there were two shocking scars on both sides of his back as if he had been gutted by a monster.

These implants had probably been stuffed into his body when that happened.

“What kind of radical modification has this guy done to himself?”

Meng Chao clicked his tongue secretly.

Artificial limbs were very well-developed in Dragon City.

In the past, people would often get mechanical arms and legs that were inlaid with crystals and engraved with runes after their limbs were damaged. They did not even need artificial skin to wrap them up. They simply flashed their mechanical limbs and swaggered around the city.

Although the artificial limbs did not have a high combat limit and were not like the cells of a human body, which could withstand overloading spirit energy after training,they were more than enough for daily life, production, and regular battles.

However, all kinds of suspicious implants had been stuffed into this man’s internal organs and even the depths of his brain. Such a shocking modification was beyond Meng Chao’s imagination.

“Wait a minute. The implants in this guy’s brain seem to be some kind of… signal receiving chip?”

Meng Chao was aware that a chip embedded in the center of the mechanic’s brain was continuously receiving signals from the outside world. It was weak but regular, similar to brain wave signals.

He had seemingly observed a similar situation not long ago in another place and in another person’s body.

After pondering for more than half a minute, Meng Chao finally remembered where he had seen a similar scene.

It was in Picturesque Orchid Lake,in the rat people who believed in the Rat God.

More precisely, it was in the rat priests under the Ancient Dream Saintess.

The rat priests were receiving orders from the Ancient Dream Saintess through a method similar to “brain wave transmission” over a long distance!

“I see. Is this guy also receiving and executing orders from his higher-ups of the Blood Alliance in real time through the brain chip?” Meng Chao mumbled to himself.

At that moment, the hatch of the medical cabin below slowly opened.

The mechanic finished his treatment and slowly sat up.

It looked like he had woken up from a dream with a dazed and confused expression.

He was taken aback for a while before he realized where he was.

He looked down at his hands. After a while, he could gradually control his ten fingers.

He let out a long sigh of relief and smiled. He stretched his muscles and bones while he thanked the bearded doctor.

From the microexpressions on his face and the way he crawled out of the medical pod, he seemed to have completely changed into a different person.

There was not a single part of his body that was as cool as lightning.

He did not even have the aura of a person who was born to be decisive.

It appeared that it was not as simple as “receiving commands in real time.”

Meng Chao’s thoughts raced as he thought to himself, ‘This guy has apparently just woken up from an unfathomable dream. He doesn’t remember anything that has happened in the past few hours at all. Besides, his microexpressions and muscle reactions are completely different from a moment ago.

‘Looks like he wasn’t the one controlling this body.

‘Here comes the question. If the soul that was hiding in this body wasn’t the mechanic himself, then who was it?’

With a question in his mind, Meng Chao calmly returned the way he came.

After leaving the car repair factory and making sure that no one was following him, he found an abandoned factory that was about to be demolished. He transmitted the message to Shen Yuanbao through a powerful portable communication device.

Shen Yuanbao was hiding in the depths of The Grand View of the Universe and was theoretically faking his death.

Nevertheless, Meng Chao believed that he still had a lot of hidden power and he could get a lot of information that he could not.

Meng Chao sent Shen Yuanbao a sketch that he drew from his memory.

It depicted the mechanic and the scars on his body.

As an agricultural university student and a Reaper, Meng Chao also had extraordinary eyesight and muscle fiber control. Even if he did not have any artistic talent, Meng Chao could draw a sketch that was comparable to a photograph. He had a firm grasp of the characteristics of monster organs and the human body structure.

Meng Chao then described his findings to Shen Yuanbao.

He asked him to investigate the mechanic’s real identity and look into his medical records.

To fit so many implants into a human body, perfectly connecting them to the spine and the brain but not affecting the guy’s daily life,required extremely high-level medical technology and cutting-edge medical facilities.

It was definitely not something that could be done in a place like the Lair or a third-class clinic without a brand.

Shen Yuanbao had seemingly been waiting for Meng Chao’s news.

Half a minute later, he responded to Meng Chao’s analysis.

Shen Yuanbao told Meng Chao that Yun Feidian’s Thundercloud Technology was best at remote-controlling monsters.

By performing special operations on monsters and implanting control chips into w monster’s spine and brain, together with the assistance of the metal bones at the critical parts, they were able to control the monster from a distance of several kilometers or even more as if it were a drone.

Of course, it was also possible to remove the monster’s brain and spinal cord completely and implant them into rune machines to make “half-flesh, half-metal” smart tanks. They could also be controlled remotely, turning the monsters and rune machines into puppets.

It was indeed possible for similar technologies to be applied to the human body and create human-shaped puppets that would listen to every command!

“There has to be more than one such puppet. If Yun Feidian can control more than twenty puppets at the same time to act as his ‘clones,’ it’s really possible that he can go out and socialize with the public, the reporters, and his partners while he manipulates the other puppets and rebuilds the Blood Alliance!” Shen Yuanbao said.

“However, this is just our guess. Without hard and direct evidence, it’s impossible for Yun Feidian to be exposed and ruined by the implant in the mechanic’s body alone!”
