I was expelled from school at the beginning, but luckily I am the king of endurance.

Mei's stance was now perfectly suited for combat. She could attack by taking a step forward, move sideways to create space for a shot, and most importantly, retreat quickly. No matter what happened, she could respond with the simplest of movements.

At this time, Ya could see some information outside the room, such as the muzzle of a robot's gun.

"Teacher, there's an enemy gunpoint. Should we open fire?" Ya was a little unsure. Firing now would undoubtedly give him the upper hand, but how many shots would he be able to land later? It was hard to say.

"Don't shoot, guide your feet and move slowly, cut the corner, right."

The girl continued to move slowly, using the door frame as cover. When the angle was almost 45 degrees, the teacher said, "Fire!"

Ya raised the muzzle of the gun slightly, and half of the robot's body could be seen in the red dot sight. In order to avoid being exposed, she did not turn on the gun light and pulled the trigger at this time.

The flashing fire from the muzzle illuminated the passage, allowing Ya to pull the gun line to attack the target in the passage. Thirty bullets were poured out by Ya, and several robots in the passage were riddled with bullets from the submachine gun after just a few shots.

"Huh... the passage is cleared."

It was her first time fighting indoors, so she was inevitably a little nervous. However, it seemed like her performance was pretty good. At least none of the robots hit her with a single shot.

In this way, while the teacher was instructing, Ya was clearing the passages and the robots in the room were constantly breaking out. These programmed robots had no concept of indoor combat and were simply perfect teaching tools. With a lot of actual combat practice, Ya made rapid progress and soon she could break out alone without the teacher's reminder.

As for why only Ya was sent to fight? Look at the weapons of the people present.

In addition to Bud, there are three combat rifles, a sniper rifle, a general-purpose machine gun, a grenade launcher, a railgun and the teacher's self-defense pistol. It seems that only Bud's submachine gun is most suitable for this job.

Things became much easier after they broke out of the abandoned factory. Facing the numerous robots outside the factory, Mei and the others didn't even need to take action. Alice took out her railgun and, with a single "Light!", she opened a path through the pile of robots, almost making Eri and the others drop their jaws in shock as they saw Alice firing for the first time.

"Bang, bang, bang! Alice gained a lot of experience points!"

In short, Alice from the big city (Millennium) opened the eyes of Eri and the other country people (black market).

Workers' Syndicate? Millennium!: Chapter 22: After the Evil Sprouts Scrape the Ruins, They'll Scrape It Again

Xiaoya always felt that something was wrong. Things were going too smoothly. After the operation was over, Xiaoya checked the information of the Truth Society on the Internet.

The most technically advanced hacker club in Millennium and even in all of Kivotos, its president is the star Himari, one of the three "Omniscient" degree recipients in Millennium's history.

Why would a club of this level tell Xiaotao the location of G.Bible? How did they know this location?

Xiaoya always felt that there was an invisible big hand pushing them forward.

This won't do. The most taboo thing in strategy is to be led by the enemy. They are now in a completely passive state. The only advantage is the presence of the teacher. Millennium doesn't dare to take direct action. But even so, if the other party wants to do something, they have no plan to deal with it.

The girl had already imagined the worst possible scenario, and after a moment's thought, she decided to take the initiative.

After instructing Kanna and Eri to protect the teacher, Xiaomei took Futaba out of the game development department office.

"It feels a bit like Journey to the West, where Monkey King Xiaoya takes his second brother out to explore the way."

So who is the White Dragon Horse? This is not funny, because no one present except the teacher has read Journey to the West.

Although I don't know what Xiaoya is worried about, the teacher feels that as long as he supports her, it's enough. To be honest, seeing Xiaoya busy and worried about his own safety these days, the teacher feels guilty because he didn't pay Xiaoya.

[No, if I pay you a salary, doesn't that mean I'm putting a price on Xiaoya's actions? But...]

The teacher shook his head and stopped thinking about it. How could he figure out something that billions of people have spent decades trying to figure out? It would be better for him to wear a helmet next time so that Xiaoya's efforts would not be in vain.

After taking supplies and making sure she had enough ammunition, Xiaoya returned to the ruins.

Without any clues or connections, she couldn't possibly ask the Truth Society directly about their purpose, right? So she had no choice but to return to the scene and investigate. Perhaps she could find some clues.

The abandoned factory has been occupied by robots. No one knows where they came from, but they can continuously make up for the losses. Xiaoya and Shuangye hide in a ruin and watch the defense line set up by the robots outside the factory.

"Xiaoya, are you sure it's Millennium who's going to attack the teacher?"

Futaba asked. From her point of view, this seemed impossible. Even Hinata was polite to the teacher. As Millennium was one of the three most powerful schools, there was no reason for their intelligence system to not know about this.

Xiaoya pursed her lips, pondering how to break in before replying, "I'm not sure, but it's certain that Millennium is taking advantage of the teacher. Now I don't know if this exploitation will cause harm to the teacher, but it's always right to consider the worst."

Shuangye didn't say anything else. She felt that Xiaoya was a little paranoid, but thinking back on Xiaoya's experience, it was normal. After being cheated so many times, it was natural to think that there was something fishy about everything. Shuangye herself never left her gun at night.

"Well, take turns covering, I'll go first."

There was an open space between the ruins where she was hiding and the abandoned factory. If she ran out rashly, she would definitely be discovered by the robot, but there was no better way at this time. Anyway, she was not afraid of these bullets, so she could just rush forward and be done with it.

Futaba lowered the machine gun tripod, built a temporary machine gun position against the broken wall, and opened fire at the stationed robots.

It's now!

While the robots were caught off guard by the sudden firepower, Xiaoya lowered her body and jumped out of the shelter. The open area was not long. After being hit by several bullets, Xiaoya kicked away a robot that wanted to fire at her.

Then he fired his gun quickly and briefly, and in less than ten seconds all the robots on this line of defense were cleared out by Xiaoya. With this efficiency, Xiaoya estimated that he could pin his former self three or two months ago to the ground and beat him.

Turning back and making a gesture to Futaba, Xiaoya held her gun and was alert to other robots that might appear. Fortunately, the robots in this area seemed to have not reacted yet, so they now had plenty of time to continue investigating here.

Futaba is afraid of the dark, so she stays outside to support Xiaoya. The latter turns on the gun light and pushes open the door of the abandoned factory for the third time.

Putting aside what clues Xiaoya will find in the abandoned factory, Xiaotao feels like the sky is falling.

"Xiao Tao, the results of the data you previously commissioned to be processed are out." In the activity room of the Truth Society, a white-haired girl with a single ponytail looked up at Xiao Tao from in front of the computer. She is a member of the Truth Society, a hacker and engineer, Xiao Gouqing.

“As you know, we at the Truth Society have always prided ourselves on being the best hacker organization in Kivotos.

"That's why we at the Truth Society have received numerous commissions to restore systems and data, and have solved countless problems..."

The girl blinked her sore eyes, picked up a Millennium Energy Drink from the table, and took a sip. Xiaotao had a bad feeling. After all this preparation, could it be that...

"Forget it, I'll just be frank." Qing couldn't bear to see Xiaotao's nervous expression. "Xiaotao, your game save data can no longer be recovered."

"Ugh! I won't live anymore!"

Xiaotao's wails echoed throughout the activity room. Fortunately, the Millennium Tower had good sound insulation, otherwise the students on this floor would have come to cause trouble for them.

"Wait, wait, let's not talk about the game data issue for now. Have you cracked the G.Bible code yet?"

The teacher pulled Xiaotao aside and handed her to Xiaolu. The important thing at the moment was to open the G.Bible and keep the game development department alive.

"About that, I'm not good at cracking passwords, so Maki is working on it. The result should be out soon." Qing pointed at the red-haired girl with a bun who was still working hard in front of the computer. The latter pushed the table and came to the crowd with a chair on wheels.

"Teacher? Oh, and Green and Tao, even Yuzu is here? And who are these...?" Maki looked up. Teachers don't have halos and are adults, so they're easy to spot. Alice and Eri Kanna, however, she didn't recognize them. "I was going to look for you guys in the game development department, but I didn't expect you were already here."

"Woooooaaaaaaaaah! My game save file, the fruit of my hard work and sweat!"

"Uh, what's wrong with Tao? Why is she crying like that?" Tao's wailing continued, but Maki didn't dwell on it at Xiaolu's urging. She said directly, "The data you gave me has been analyzed. That is indeed the legendary G.Bible, and it is the original version.

“But I can’t decrypt the file.”

Workers' Syndicate? Millennium!: Chapter 23: Being timid is not the behavior of a warrior, the ultimate reckless man is our Gehenna's true nature

"what?"

After all this effort, it's all in vain? Wouldn't that make them look like clowns?

"Don't look at me like that. What I'm good at is destroying systems, cracking passwords and so on... But there is another way!" Maki slapped her head and everyone looked at her.

"It's almost impossible to decrypt the file directly, but we can copy all the contents after removing the security file. So we need a tool called 'Mirror'."

"Mirror? Uh, I have no idea what you're saying..." Except for Eri, everyone looked confused.

"So this means that this 'mirror' is not with you now?" Eri asked. If the Truth Society had this tool, Maki would not have gone through so much trouble to tell them.

"It used to be here with us... but it's gone now. It was confiscated at the seminar! Oh, so annoying! The other day, Yuuka suddenly barged in and said something like, 'Possession of illegal equipment is prohibited.'" Maki looked indignant, and a flaxen-haired girl wearing glasses next to her added.

"Then she confiscated a lot of our equipment, including the 'mirror' and my eavesdropping equipment... Ah, hello, teacher, I'm Otose Kodama from the Truth Society."

"Why did you confiscate the 'mirror'? From your description, the 'mirror' should just be a cracking tool, right?" Eri had learned some simple network knowledge. Although she could not compare with serious hackers in this aspect, she knew some basic things.

"Ahaha... I just wanted to take a look at the content of the teacher's text messages... so I used the 'mirror'. I didn't have any impure motives, did I?" Xiaoyu scratched her head and said some shocking words in a calm tone.

"No, what do you mean by reading the content of my text messages? And this classmate, I don't think we've met before?"

The teacher subconsciously touched the tablet he was carrying. Although Xiaoya said that there were many talented people in Gehena, why did it feel like Millennium was no less impressive?

"I'm just curious. Isn't your contact information on the Federal Student Union's official website?"

"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now. Anyway, the 'mirror' is a tool made by our president himself. If I can't get it back soon, I will be scolded to death by the president! Moreover, without the 'mirror' we can't crack the password of the G.Bible." Maki interrupted the topic. If the teacher dug deeper into Xiaoyu's matter, he might give herself away, which would be bad.

"I see. So you want us to retrieve the 'mirror'?"

"As expected of a teacher!"

Xiao Tao stopped wailing and looked up at Maki: "As the saying goes, you rely on friends when you go out, and rely on relationships when you get along with others. Could it be...?"

"That's it, Tao!"

"No, what's going on? Sister, teacher, I'm just guessing... Are you planning to join forces with the Truth Society to attack the seminar?!"

Xiaolu expressed the most radical and bold guess in her mind, but the only response she received was meaningful looks from everyone.

Meanwhile, in the ruins of Millennium.

Xiaoya dodged sideways from behind the wall and knocked down a robot in the workshop with two shots.

She returned to the back of the abandoned factory. She had already searched the front and there were really no more clues. And this place...

The girl flipped over these half-finished robots, and the same symbols as last time appeared on the wall behind the robots, but they quickly disappeared.

There is still a lot unknown about this place.

"Ok?"

After passing through several passages again, Xiaoya felt something was wrong. From the moment she entered the back door of the factory, she could see several robots in almost every room and passage. She had fought her way in, but now she didn't even encounter a single robot. This was really abnormal.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, the girl took out her cell phone and sent a message to Futaba using the local area network built by Eri. Soon a reply came, saying that Futaba was fighting fiercely with the robots, and for some reason a group of robots poured out from the back door, and they looked like they were retreating.

Xiaoya understood in her heart, it turned out that they had all retreated, no wonder she didn’t meet them... No!

"Before, these robots wouldn't even come near this place, but after we took the G.Bible, they took over. Now they're retreating again. Could it be that what Xiaotao took away wasn't some game cheat code?"

Xiaoya hurried to the room where G.Bible was found, holding a gun. She remembered that Eri said there was a management AI in that computer, and the movements of these robots might be related to that AI.

When Xiaoya came to the passage outside the room, she did not act rashly. She guessed that the robots outside did not approach here because of those strange spherical robots, and these spherical robots might be controlled by the management AI. Although she could not be sure, it was better to be cautious.

Following the teacher's instructions, I slowly moved to the narrow corner and then quietly looked into the room.

Sure enough, even with a limited field of view, Xiaoya could still see one or two spherical robots floating in the room.

Xiaoya took a step back calmly to avoid being seen. There were not enough clues and her mind was in a mess. The only thing that was certain was that the teachers and others were not only used by Millennium, but also tricked by an AI.

"Tsk."

Regardless, she needed more information, so now... she turned around to confirm there was no threat behind her, and charged!

The girl moved quickly, taking a quick step with her right foot and moving her body, then suddenly opened fire with the submachine gun in her hand.

Although she was prepared, the number of spherical robots in the room still exceeded her expectations. She thought there would be about a dozen or so, but after a rough look around, she found that there were more than the bullets in her magazine.

But it didn't matter. The magazine was empty, and the girl retreated to the left, diagonally to the door frame, and several lavender lights followed.

She didn't hit Xiaoya, and she didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and hurriedly took out a new magazine from her body.

Changing magazines, this action was already well known by heart. Xiaoya inserted the new magazine in less than a second, but the spherical robot inside was already alert, and if it stretched out again, it might be hit by some light beams.

So what? I'll just feel a little pain at most, but they can't withstand a few of my shots.

The girl estimated that the remaining spherical robots were enough to be dealt with with a new magazine, so she no longer hesitated and directly imitated her previous actions, taking big steps and pulling!

The IQ (or programming) of these spherical robots is more complete than that of the robots outside. They obviously have a basic concept of indoor combat. They were caught off guard before, and this time Xiaoya was hit by several rays as soon as she exposed herself.

[It's a little hot, but it doesn't hurt at all!]

Xiaoya's movements remained unchanged, and the damage caused by the spherical robot was much less than she had expected. So...

The submachine gun opened fire fiercely, reducing the remaining spherical robots in the room to scrap status.

A labor union? Millennium!: Chapter 24: An all-out war against the Maid Club!

Stepping over the wreckage of the spherical robot, Xiaoya walked to the computer in the middle of the room. Looking at the black screen in front of her, Xiaoya pondered for a moment.

"Oh!"

The girl kicked it, and the computer made two "chi chi" sounds, and then the screen lit up.

Sure enough, when they came last time, they said there was no electricity, but it turned out to be a bluff. This AI is good at tricking people.

"Who are you? What is your purpose?"

Xiaoya asked directly, she raised the submachine gun in her hand and pointed it at the computer. Although she didn't know whether this AI had any backup servers, she still needed at least some deterrence.

The computer didn't answer immediately. Its screen flickered as if it had malfunctioned. After a while, subtitles appeared on it.

[I am the management AI of this factory. You can call me 'Key'. Now I am going to restore order in the factory.]

Key? Key? What does that mean? And what about restoring order? Is it about taking back control from those robots? No, there's another point.
