Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

However, something unexpected happened.

An explosion was followed by gunfire from inside the house.

Another burst of intense gunfire erupted.

After the gunfire, there was a deathly silence again.

Xiao Ce looked out from afar through the scope of his sniper rifle, while smoke from an explosion still lingered in the room.

Yin Pan'er asked Xiao Ce in surprise, "He's still not dead?"

Xiao Ce was genuinely surprised after hearing Yin Pan'er's words...

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly; he hadn't sent his shadow guards.

If it were his precious shadow guard who died, he would be heartbroken.

Even so, this thought is still somewhat cynical.

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "It looks like the one inside is even more powerful..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Doesn't that prove that Gandhi was colluding with these robots...?"

Xiao Ce nodded, then glanced at Xiao Yue beside him.

Xiaoyue glanced at Yin Pan'er with some concern.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Yue, "Go...go and tell Morgana about the situation here. Just say that we suggest we take Gandhi into custody. Of course, it depends on his own decision..."

Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "Then how about your safety here..."

Yin Pan'er glanced at Xiaoyue, then smiled and said, "I know your concerns. But do you think you can protect me in a battle of this intensity?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiaoyue gave an awkward smile, then shook her head and said, "That's not necessarily true... but, could I try to dissuade you..."

After hearing Xiaoyue's words, Yin Pan'er was somewhat stunned and said, "Try to dissuade me?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiaoyue smiled and nodded: "That's right, I'll try to dissuade you... for example, if you're about to do something dangerous."

Xiao Ce chuckled upon hearing Xiao Yue's words, then said, "You really do care about Yin Pan'er... Don't worry, I'm her man, I can't let her take any risks... Not only will I not let her take any risks, but I also won't put myself in any danger..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yue nodded awkwardly, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant..."

Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yue, "Alright, I didn't say anything to you. It's good that Pan'er has someone like you who cares about her... Don't worry, a wise person avoids dangerous situations, that's what I meant..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Yes, then I'll go..."

Yin Pan'er nodded.

At this moment, the third squad, under the command of the guard captain, also began to enter.

Before going in, the third team naturally became more cautious.

They dropped several rounds of bombs.

Only then did I dare to go in, but upon entering again, there was no intense gunfire as I had imagined...

Xiao Ce's first reaction was: "Blown up?"

However, Xiao Ce's intuition told him that things were not that simple.

Soon after, the team that had just entered the room came out again.

They saw the squad members come out and say a few words to the guard captain.

At this moment, the captain of the guard made a gesture towards Da Lei and Xiao Ce...

This gesture indicates that it is safe.

Yin Pan'er, like Xiao Ce, sensed that something was wrong...

Xiao Ce then asked Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, is there a problem with this?"

When Yin Pan'er heard Xiao Ce echoing his words, she smiled and then said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, Prince Wu, I also think there's something wrong with this matter."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Shall we not go over there yet?"

Yin Pan'er glanced at him and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I really don't know much about this, I'm not entirely clear on the situation..."

Xiao Ce pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go down first... Actually, that robot really can dodge bullets. Even if our bullets can damage them, the damage is extremely limited..."

Yin Pan'er nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

"Your Highness, I'll do whatever you say..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce gave Da Lei a signal, instructing Da Lei to continue providing cover from the high ground.

Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er went down.

After Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er went down, the commotion gradually attracted more and more people.

After those people were attracted over, they were still stopped by someone.

At this moment, the captain of the guard said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, there are two people inside, and they both look dead... but those two seem rather strange..."

Judging from the captain of the guard's expression, it was clear that he couldn't quite explain what had happened.

After hearing the captain of the guard's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Because those two aren't human..."

The captain of the guard was still somewhat surprised after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

"not human?"

After hearing the captain of the guard's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "That's right, not human..."

The captain of the guard looked at Xiao Ce with a puzzled expression.

Although he didn't quite understand, he still managed to explain, "What do you mean by 'not human'? Those are clearly human..."

Xiao Ce did not follow up with their explanation, and it seemed that this matter could not be explained in just a few words.

Xiao Ce then asked the captain of the guard, "Captain of the guard, those squads that just went in, who were they...?"

A short while later, the captain of the guard summoned a squad leader.

After the squad leader arrived, the guard captain said to him, "You can explain the situation inside to Mr. Ce."

After hearing the guard captain's words, the squad leader nodded repeatedly, then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, yes sir. There is a person in the corridor. Although his clothes were completely destroyed by the explosion, he has no wounds on his body, but rather various dents and many bullet wounds..."

The squad leader seemed to be thinking hard as he spoke: "It can't be called wounds, because none of those wounds bled. The bullet and shrapnel seem to be lodged in his skin, and nothing else happened after that..."

"But there's definitely no sign of life... However, that person's body is incredibly stiff; someone who just died shouldn't be this stiff. And after that bombing, our teammates were all torn to pieces, yet this person inside seems completely unharmed..."

"In another room, there's someone even stranger—someone who's missing an arm or a leg...but...but..."

The squad leader struggled for a long time but couldn't come up with any adjectives.

Although he hadn't expected it.

However, Xiao Ce had already figured out a general idea...

Just then, Xiao Ce said to the captain of the guard, "Captain of the guard, why don't you go in?"

The captain of the guard said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, because I feel there's something very wrong... I suspect that the monster inside isn't really dead, it might have faked its death..."

Upon hearing the captain of the guard's words, Xiao Ce looked surprised and then said, "Oh? You think so too? I actually think so too..."

The captain of the guard said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, what should we do next?"

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ce directly said to the squad leader, "Just do as I say..."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he whispered something in the squad leader's ear.

Xiao Ce spoke very softly, almost in a whisper.

So no one nearby heard it.

The people around watched curiously, and the one who heard Xiao Ce's whisper kept nodding.

After speaking for a while, he began to nod.

Xiao Ce asked the squad leader, "Do you understand?"

“Okay, I understand... Mr. Ce.” The squad leader said to Xiao Ce with certainty.

Xiao Ce said to the squad leader, "You need to be careful. If he fakes his death... your lives will be in danger."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the squad leader broke into a bright smile: "We're not afraid to die..."

"Mr. Ce, after I completed the task you assigned, would you say I've done a great service?"

After hearing the squad leader's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Yes, it counts... of course it counts as a great achievement..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the squad leader flashed a bright white smile and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission..."

The squad leader then went inside by himself, not even letting his teammates in...

At this moment, both the captain of the guard and Yin Pan'er looked at Xiao Ce with curiosity.

It was obvious they all wanted to know what Xiao Ce had to say...

Xiao Ce said to the captain of the guard and Yin Pan'er, "You'll find out soon enough..."

After the squad leader went inside, Xiao Ce was still a little nervous.

After all, if the squad leader fails, it means that his plan has failed.

That is incorrect.

Actually, it would be more appropriate for Da Lei to do this, but there's no other reason why we didn't let him do it.

It's simply because I'm afraid Da Lei will get killed.

Fortunately, shortly after the squad leader went inside, he excitedly ran out...

Seeing the squad leader's expression, Xiao Ce knew that the matter had likely been resolved.

They waited until the squad leader ran up to Xiao Ce.

Then he said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, Mr. Ce, you're right. There really is a small hole in the back of their heads. I just took a needle and pricked it, and the person twitched for a moment, then stopped moving..."

"He seemed to be playing dead just now... but after I pricked that small hole with a needle, he looked completely dead... Mr. Ce, how did you know their weak point...? You're really amazing..."

Xiao Ce nodded after reading the squad leader's words.

The captain of the guard and Yin Pan'er were even more astonished.

What is the principle behind this?

Xiao Ce gave a wry smile, then said to the captain of the guard and Yin Pan'er, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Reset button..."

The two were taken aback when they heard Xiao Ce's words.

"Restore default settings? What does that mean?"

Xiao Ce smiled at the captain of the guard and Yin Pan'er, then said, "It doesn't have any other special meaning, it's just the literal meaning..."

"Alright, let's go inside... Once you're inside, go check on him. That weirdo has most likely come back to life... We don't need to kill him this time... and he shouldn't be aggressive anymore..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the captain of the guard naturally understood that Xiao Ce would not go in.

At this moment, the squad leader said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, you're right... When I left, he seemed to have opened his eyes, but he didn't move... he was just lying there..."

Xiao Ce nodded after hearing the squad leader's words.

At this moment, the guard captains said to Xiao Ce, "Then let's go in..."

After the guards went in, Xiao Ce did not go in.

After confirming that many people had gone in, the person did not react at all.

Only then did Xiao Ce dare to go over.

Even after Xiao Ce made this confirmation, Yin Pan'er, who was standing to the side, still expressed great concern.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, what if he was just faking it, waiting for you... After all, he was pretending to be dead just now..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "If his goal is to kill me, then actually, no one can protect me... So, I believe that if he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't wait until now..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er thought for a moment, nodded in understanding, and then asked Xiao Ce, "Then why are you still so cautious...?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and said, "They really didn't come to kill me, but who knows, maybe they thought there weren't enough people... Now it seems that's not the case... That's good..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er replied, "Okay! Then I'll go with you..."

After she finished speaking, Yin Pan'er looked at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and then said, "Alright, I know one way you judge my confidence is by whether I'm willing to take you along... I'm definitely willing to take you along..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er immediately smiled, then looked at Xiao Ce with affection and said, "That's right, will you take me with you?"

Xiao Ce smiled, then said to Yin Pan'er, "Of course...of course I'll bring you...Don't worry, everything is going much more smoothly than we imagined..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's relaxed expression, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Alright, let's go see what's going on..."
