Although Greushka's mechanical body is large and strong, its movements are quite slow.

When facing Alita, his repeated heavy punches not only failed to hit Alita, but she found the right opportunity to kick him hard on the head, and used the rebound force to jump onto the wall of the alley.

Greushka chased after him, roaring and swinging his fist to break down the wall, but Alita rolled over and, taking advantage of the momentum of her rapid fall, she kicked Greushka's thick right arm in half at the shoulder.

Greushka was not willing to suffer such a loss, and waved his left arm to retaliate, but Alita picked up the rocket hammer and hit Greushka with a few bangs, causing him to stagger back.

At this moment, he also realized that he was no match for her. He kept saying cruel words like "I won't forgive you" and "Gruishka will definitely take revenge", but he turned around, took two quick steps, jumped into a hole in the alley and disappeared.

Rosen certainly had the opportunity to keep him, but he was not in a hurry to do so.

Because Alita needs this guy to help her complete her final transformation.

"During the battle, I remembered some past events." Alita said as she followed Rosen and Dr. Ide to the Hunter Warriors headquarters: "I once participated in a big war. That might be my past."

"You scared me," said Dr. Ead.

"You surprised me too." Alita looked at Dr. Ide and said.

Obviously she was talking about the fact that Dr. Ide was actually a Hunter Warrior.

On the way here, Rosen had simply told her that the Hunter Warriors were equivalent to the police before the Skyfall War, but now the factory paid them to do the dirty work.

"Rosen, didn't you tell her?" Dr. Ide turned his head and looked at Rosen.

"What should I know?" Alita asked in surprise.

"Rosen is also a hunter warrior." said Dr. Ide.

"You didn't ask, so I didn't tell you." Rosen laughed and said, "Are you interested in joining the Hunter Warriors? There are still some benefits for you."

"Rosen, I don't think this is a good suggestion." Dr. Ide said seriously.

"Doctor, although Alita looks young, she is definitely not a child anymore." Rosen said, "Judging from the memory she just mentioned about awakening, she was probably a brave warrior in the past."

Then he looked at Dr. Ead and said, "Then, neither you nor I have the right to let her be just a little girl."

Rosen pointed at Alita and said, "Whatever she wants to do or become, it should be decided by herself."

"You are just her doctor, and I just happened to pick him up. No one has the right to interfere in her own life. What do you think?"

Dr. Ide looked at Rosen, then at Alita, and said helplessly: "Maybe you are right, Alita, you decide for yourself."

"I want to be a hunter warrior." Alita said firmly.

Dr. Ide sighed, looking bleak.

So the three of them walked in together. Alita registered as a new hunter warrior, and Dr. Ide, at Rosen's suggestion, took on the task of killing the Scythe Man and Nicea. The reward she received would be the medical expenses that Alita would slowly pay back to Dr. Ide.

On the way back, Alita said: "The battle triggered my memory. I was on the moon. You hid things about me. I want to ask whose body this is? Who am I?"

Dr. Ide had no intention of hiding the matter, and seeing that she was curious, he immediately took her and Rosen back to the clinic and told her everything he knew.

So Alita learned that her body came from Dr. Ide's daughter, but she was killed before she could use it.

As for the cause of her death, it was related to the body modification and Mobile Ball Competition that Dr. Ide had been engaged in before, so he was full of hatred for this Mobile Ball Competition. At the same time, he joined the Hunter Warriors to kill the guy who killed his daughter.

Alita knew that her name came from Dr. Ide's daughter, and she couldn't help but said, "I'm not your daughter. I don't even know who I am."

"I know you're not." Dr. Ide sighed, called up the data about Alita's body, pointed to the core part, and said: "This is your brain, the brain of an ordinary healthy young girl. It's hard to believe this is true."

"And look at your heart, part of your core, it's powered by an antimatter microreactor."

"It seems that my heart is very strong." Alita said.

"Your heart is strong enough to drive this scrap iron city for many years." Rosen said.

"This is a lost technology." Dr. Eide said, "No one has been able to make this thing since the Skyfall War."

"So, I'm at least 300 years old?" Alita said with a smile.

"Yes, you are." Dr. Ide answered seriously.

The smile on Alita's face suddenly froze.

When she left the clinic and returned home, Alita looked at Rosen and said, "The woman in my memory called me number 99. Even though it was only for a moment, I believed that was the real me. But I still don't know who I am?"

"That's good, at least it's an improvement over before."

Rosen consoled him: "In the future you will always remember who you are, and maybe then you won't want to remember your past anymore."

"why?"

"The past is too heavy. Even if you have a body of steel and a strong heart, it may still suffocate you."

Rosen said, "But these may have happened 300 years ago. The people and things related to you may have disappeared in the Battle of the Fallen God, so you can now completely let go of the burden."

"I understand the logic, but I still want to find an answer." Alita said.

"You don't regret it?"

"Ah."

"Okay then." Rosen said, "Go to sleep first. I'll take you to find the answer tomorrow."

In the morning, Rosen was still busy in the kitchen, but Alita had already gotten up. She ran to Rosen while brushing her teeth and said, "Rosen, where are we going today?"

"In the suburbs," Rosen replied.

After breakfast, Rosen said hello to Dr. Ide and rode the Sdkfz 2 Centaur carrying Alita out of the Scrap City.

Leaving the city is as troublesome as entering it, and various procedures are required. Fortunately, Rosen had arrived more than half a year earlier and had become familiar with the guards. Otherwise, it would have been a bit difficult to go on a spontaneous journey.

"What's outside the city?" Alita couldn't help but ask curiously, looking at the not-so-fertile farmland outside and the huge machines in the fields.

"Apart from farms, mines and factories, there is basically nothing left." Rosen said: "The Skyfall War destroyed almost all human buildings, and the population was wiped out in large numbers."

"Nature's revenge soon followed, and it was more violent than people imagined."

"Without a large enough population, cities and farmland will gradually become deserted, weeds, trees, vines and so on will come back, and humans will have to give back the living space they have plundered from nature."

"Until now, most of the time people's activities are limited to a few hundred kilometers around the Scrap Iron City. Anywhere further away has become forests, grasslands, etc."

Rosen said, pointing to the increasingly lush vegetation on the roadside, "Just like over there."

Then he pointed to a mountain covered with dense vegetation in the distance and said, "That's where we are going. Maybe the answer you want is there."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go." Alita said as she stood up and was about to jump off the Sdkfz 2 centaur to climb the mountain.

"Don't worry, there's no need to go through so much trouble." Rosen said, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
