Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

Having learned about Li Xingchen's background, Lin Yin felt compelled to tell him more. Over the years, Yin Sha had been keeping an eye on the things Li Xingchen had asked them to investigate.

One of them is about mechanical monsters.

This information comes from the Hu family, who had previously deceived Li Xingchen and were later captured by Yinsha.

The two older brothers had been watching their younger brothers closely. By now, their contest was almost over, and the fruit platter had crumbled into pieces before they had even eaten much of it.

Yun Shang had two more servings of fruit brought out, and the person who delivered the fruit platters tidied up the table and then tactfully left.

Yun Shang stuffed a piece of fruit into his mouth and ate it while watching his younger brothers discuss things with Zero.

He's practically retired now, and he's only been able to enjoy life again since his good younger brother Lin Yin took over his leadership position.

The two people talking over there had both grown up, and her younger brother was especially outstanding, with a striking physique and exceptionally handsome features; touching him was even more...

Sigh, let's eat some melon seeds. Yun Shang stuffed another mouthful of fruit into his mouth.

Looking at the child who used to hide behind him, now handling things in an orderly manner, Yun Shang's lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile.

His little Yin looks so good when he's trying so hard to be a good older brother; he really knows how to pick up good things.

Zero glanced at the person who was swooning over the girl, then looked away and continued to listen attentively to Lin Yin's story.

His database is well-known, but the world is constantly changing, and he needs to constantly absorb new information.

Hidden killers don't tolerate idlers. After the Hu family members were arrested, they were interrogated immediately, but no useful information was obtained; they were just told it was a family on the verge of extinction.

However, they had some skills, so some of them were kept in the Hidden Assassins R&D Department, while others, due to their strong physique, were transferred by Yun Shang half a year ago to serve as guards on the border. To put it bluntly, they were gatekeepers, which was their official position.

Hu Zhiyong went from being panicked at first to gradually accepting the situation and learning what it meant to be obedient. Being restless wouldn't work; those who tried to escape were dealt with by Yin Sha right in front of them.

He was initially unwilling to be the gatekeeper, but his dantian had been destroyed, turning him into a half-beast and giving him some supernatural abilities. The Hu family was gone, and he was no longer the head of the Hu family. They were all prisoners of others, and he had no right to choose.

Fortunately, Hidden Assassins didn't seem to want to exterminate them. As long as they obeyed, they were basically given absolute freedom, and they never used the potion to control them. This was much better than before.

People who have been enslaved are like that; it's easy for them to accept being enslaved by a different organization.

Moreover, Yin Sha provides food, drink, and a salary, ensuring the Hu family line will not end under his leadership. In another sense, Yin Sha can be considered to have saved the Hu family.

Knowing that there was an army of orcs in the forest gave him a greater sense of security, as if his own kind were among him.

He had been following Li Xingchen for years and naturally knew that the two brothers had a close relationship with Hidden Kill, but he didn't know their current status within Hidden Kill.

The assassins in the shadows do not show their true faces and are not talkative. They are not assassins of the shadows, and Yun Shang will not grant them access; he has been kept largely out of the loop for the past year.

Until one day, he happened to see the trophies the assassins were carrying back from outside.

It was a fairly intact mechanical monster.

Before Hanlin's spatial wristwatches could be mass-produced, the chaotic world arrived. Therefore, apart from the few people from Hanlin, most of the Hidden Assassins did not have spatial equipment. Occasionally, when they went out to train and needed to bring back spoils, they would drag or carry them back.

Hu Zhiyong, having been a family head before, naturally understood this thing. He could tell its material and structure at a glance, and then reported the matter to Lin Yin.

After the Hu family disassembled the items, Hu Zhiyong immediately discovered the problem.

Although this mechanical monster has been improved and upgraded, most of its internal components are actually similar to those they produced before.

Hu Zhiyong collapsed to the ground. He knew how many mechanical magical beasts the Hu family produced when he was the head of the family. Apart from the portion sent to the Ye family, some would be secretly taken away. If he hadn't withheld the last shipment, the Hu family wouldn't have been able to deploy so many mechanical magical beasts when robbing the potions. Producing these was very resource-intensive.

Hu Zhiyong had always thought that his Hu family was merely being manipulated by upper-class families and used as lackeys. He never imagined that the power controlling the Hu family would extend to enemy countries. Just think about those mechanical magical beasts he had sent out...

That was close; I almost became a traitor who brought about the downfall of my country...

Lin Yin explained the situation to Yin Sha in detail, and after understanding the situation, he expanded the scope of the search from domestic to international.

They do have people in the Ice Condensation Kingdom, but their numbers are small, so it will definitely take time to investigate.

Domestically, people are paying more attention to the Ye family, who auctioned off mechanical magical beasts, and the Su family, who are in charge of city defense.

The underground organization, the Netherworld Secret Society, clearly knew they were being investigated. All their underground activities were conducted by making a move and then disappearing, making it impossible to catch them. We haven't heard of them in a long time.

However, judging from the few people who were occasionally caught, the leak of Hanlin Secrets was inextricably linked to this organization.

“Back then, I was always curious about what this organization was trying to do by following you two children, and now I understand a little better,” Yun Shang said to Zero.

Zero looked up at him.

Yun Shang took a bite of melon, leaned back in his chair, and his light, airy words condensed into a thread that drilled into Zero's ear.

"Zero, you're not actually human, are you?"

Upon hearing this, the temperature inside the airship plummeted.

The air around Zero instantly became distorted.

The speeding airship suddenly shuddered.

The assassins and shadow guards all straightened up.

At that moment, they felt their hair stand on end, unaware of the danger, their bodies automatically sending out alarms.

The two younger brothers immediately noticed what was happening. Li Xingchen instantly flashed to Zero's side, his hand already reaching for his waist.

Lin Yin looked completely bewildered.

what happened?

What did my brother do?

He and Little Star were talking, and he hadn't noticed what was happening here...

Zero closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again.

The tense atmosphere immediately dissipated, and the temperature inside the boat began to rise again.

He should have known that sooner or later, his identity would be discovered by someone with ulterior motives. Remembering what the old dean had said to him that night, Zero felt uneasy.

The assassins and shadow guards, who were already in the corner, pressed themselves even closer to the wall behind them, all turning their gazes to Shadow One and Shadow Two.

You two have been sticking around such a terrifying person the whole time?

Shadow One and Shadow Two swallowed hard. Boss was terrifying just now!

The assassins and shadow guards thought to themselves: God knows, what they disliked most was going out on missions with their leader!

Not only does it affect their ability to accept missions and receive bounties, but they can also easily get criticized, and now it seems they might even lose their lives...

Li Xingchen pursed her lips, put on a stern face, and sat down next to her brother, holding his hand and staring at Yun Shang.

Although he didn't say a word, his meaning was very clear: Tell me, what did you do to offend my brother?

Yun Shang continued eating the melon in his hand, "Why are you so fierce? I was just making a guess based on the information I have. If I can guess it, others can too. Getting angry won't help."

Zero looked at him coldly, his expression no different from how he looked at others.

Yun Shang, oblivious to the danger, leaned closer. "I guessed right?"

Zero was extremely well-mannered; even in this situation, he obediently gave an answer, albeit only a barely perceptible nod.

He knew his younger brother trusted these two people, and besides, he couldn't deny that they had already guessed it; there was no such thing as lying in his database.
