Armor: I'm in Nava, but I'm Oxer?

Before entering this card acquisition storyline, Zhang Zhao didn't actually have so many thoughts. This idea gradually formed after he cleared his mind in this world.

It turns out that sometimes when you can't figure out the answer to a puzzle, it's better to clear your mind and take a walk.

Perhaps, "after passing through mountains and rivers with no way out, a new village appears amidst willows and flowers."

During the Xingtian World

Ba Dou should remember the Emperor Armor, but everyone else's attitude towards Armor Heroes is more like an urban legend. Zhang Zhao originally thought that the ERP organization had blocked the news or something, but in fact, there was no news at all, and D City seemed to not exist at all.

This clearly exceeds the upper limit of an organization's capabilities.

If it were truly that powerful, it probably wouldn't need the Five Elements Armor at all; it would have already destroyed the people of the Shadow Realm on its own.

Zhang Zhao originally wanted to find some time to go to Ba Dou and interrogate him.

But for a period of time, he was possessed by Lufa.

Then he died...

Zhang Zhao didn't get a chance to ask.

Before Xiao Gang, who owned many armor figurines, was exposed, he had tried to subtly inquire about his identity.

The other party just thought Armor Heroes were cool and regarded them as legends. Before he himself became Armor Hero, he was not sure of the existence of Armor Heroes.

The fact that Nangong Xinyi's idol is Duanmu Yan.

Zhang Zhao naturally knew this.

When I left last time.

Zhang Zhao mentioned it casually, without giving it much thought.

Only later did he realize that Nangong Xinyi might also be someone who connects the two worlds.

That's why he deliberately did some unnecessary things this time.

As it turns out, there were indeed some problems.

-----------------

"Uh……"

Nangong Xinyi and the others fell silent. Zhang Zhao's words contained a lot of information, and they needed to digest it.

"Then how can we find more clues? How can we find the source?"

Unexpectedly, the first to respond to Zhang Zhao's explanation was Xu Zhancan, who had been silent for a long time.

"I'm afraid we need to find someone like Xin Yi who knows more of the 'truth'," Zhang Zhao sighed, a meaningful expression on his face.

"There's no such person anymore."

Nangong Xin frowned. As someone who constantly talked about his idol Duanmu Yan, he naturally knew that most people didn't really know Duanmu Yan. So, when he needed to conceal his identity, he would announce himself as Duanmu Yan.

No one will find it out of place.

Lin Zhikai and Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. In order to argue with Nangong Xin, Lin Zhikai had thoroughly researched all the information he could find.

There is no such person as Duanmu Yan.

Xu Zhancan, who was standing to the side, fell into a long silence after hearing Zhang Zhao's words.

Zhang Zhao didn't urge her, but simply turned his gaze to her and quietly looked at her.

If there are other people besides Nangong Xinyi who might have special circumstances, they should also be excluded using the process of elimination.

A silent storm was brewing on Xu Zhancan's usually stern face. Her brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep "川" (river) shape.

His lips were pressed into a straight line, revealing his extreme inner turmoil.

He quietly clenched his hands at his sides.

As a warrior from the future, reason and discipline are ingrained in her very being.

Bringing Zhang Zhao, an "abnormal entity" with a mysterious identity and unfathomable power, back to humanity's last bastion of hope was undoubtedly a huge gamble, with risks far beyond her comprehension.

But the commander's orders... and the fact that the man in front of her seemed to really have some kind of key clue, made it impossible for her to sit idly by.

Xu Zhancan's eyes were struggling and weighing her options. Her gaze swept over Zhang Zhao several times, filled with scrutiny, vigilance, and a hint of wavering that she herself was unaware of.

After struggling, Xu Zhancan finally spoke, her voice slightly hoarse.

"I need to... confirm this."

She took out a silver-white communicator with an extremely simple and streamlined design from the arm armor of her combat suit. The device had no physical buttons and its surface was as smooth as a mirror.

Xu Zhancan pressed his thumb on the sensor area of ​​the communicator, and a light blue light path immediately appeared on the surface of the device, with a complex encrypted data stream flashing by.

She walked aside.

He sent out a briefing that included the current situation, Zhang Zhao's presence, and his own assessment.

The whole process took only a few seconds, and the communicator vibrated slightly.

A soft virtual light screen projected out, and from within it, a sweet yet steady voice rang out. The voice seemed to possess a soothing power, concise yet undeniably authoritative:

"Let him come."

Xu Zhancan is from 2072 and has unique means to contact Su Xiaoxiao, the human commander there.

This Su Xiaoxiao is not that Su Xiaoxiao.

The Su Xiaoxiao who remained in 2016 was a clone of Su Yuntian, the former chairman of the Bawang Group, who was also the daughter of Su Yuntian. She was a super AI, Tai Daji, and the developer of the Captor Armor. Her other name was Yi Fei, and she was also the one who accompanied Nangong Xinyi and Lin Zhikai on their journey to kill zombie puppets.

She was initially mistaken for Su Xiaoxiao, who had lost her memory.

The real Su Xiaoxiao, however, remained in the hospital room until near the end of the series, when she unexpectedly entered a time tunnel and arrived in the future, becoming the commander of Dr. Su and humanity's fight against the Zombie King...

"The commander wants you to come back with me to 2072."

She put away the communicator, looked at Zhang Zhao with a serious expression, and conveyed the instructions from the future, word by word.

"what?!"

After hearing these words, it was actually Nangong Xinyi and his group who reacted the most.

Since making contact with the future, they have been well aware of the commander's temperament. In order to prevent history from being further interfered with, he has never sent anyone from this era to the future, not even once!

Now, they've actually made an exception for Zhang Zhao! This man not only doesn't belong to this world, but he's from another world!

"I don't know why either."

Seeing the utterly shocked Nangong Xinyi, Lin Zhikai, and the others, Xu Zhancan's inner turmoil was no less than theirs.

As someone assigned from the future to the modern world, she must naturally be a key confidante of the commander, enabling her to travel through time with something as crucial to humanity's survival: the King Capture Armor Summoning Device.

As the only remaining spark of humanity, she naturally understood how important every decision the commander made was. It could be said that without Dr. Su, humanity would have long since become slaves to the super AI.

Now, sending such an extremely unstable factor as Zhang Zhao into the future felt extremely inappropriate to her.

But the commander had given a death order.

This order was actually issued a few days after the Yan Shen conspiracy was thwarted. The commander had explicitly instructed that if the person who possessed Lin Zhikai reappeared, they should observe first. If the person mentioned anything about "deciphering" or "clues," they should immediately consult her. If necessary, they could bring him over...

The result of asking for instructions was also that he should take it over.

"Then I'll go over there?"

Zhang Zhao smiled and said to Nangong Xinyi, Lin Zhikai, and Su Xiaoxiao.

"If I get any further clues, I'll let you know. Xin Yi, maybe you'll soon have a chance to see your idol, Duanmu Yan."

"Ok."

The group could only nod.

Thus began Zhang Zhao's journey of wearing clothes within clothes.
