Starting from Cyberpunk - Chapter 204
c204 Solis’ secret history
The next day, Mira had a new arrangement.
This time, Mo Wen and Rico acted separately.
Rico was going to find a director named Garland to get his help; while Mo Wen was going to find a person named Harvey who studies history.
After meeting up with the contact person, he learned from the contact person that an important technology of Harvey was detained by the Black Hand in the cave opposite. He needed to take the technology back from the Black Hand and then find Harvey.
Mo Wen looked in the direction pointed by the contact person. In a place located in the mountain stream, five or six Black Hand soldiers were there doing something unknown.
“Hmm~ This is very simple.”
As he said, Mo Wen took off a firefly robot nest from his belt, placed it on the grenade launcher next to him, and after a slight modification, aimed at the location of the mountain stream and pulled the trigger to launch the robot nest.
As soon as the iron can landed, the four hatches opened instantly.
Before the Blackwater soldiers could react, countless Firefly robots flew out of the tank, and then flew over the surrounding Black Hand soldiers, exploding into brilliant sparks.
When the fireworks dispersed, all the Black Hand soldiers lost their lives and fell to the ground.
“This!!!” The contact person was stunned by Mo Wen’s operation.
Ignoring the contact person’s thoughts, Mo Wen directly used the grappling hook to fly over and found a box in the camp. After opening it, there was an unknown device inside.
“What is this?” Lucy looked at the thing held in Mo Wen’s hand through the Ghost Walker helmet lens and asked in confusion.
“I don’t know, but this should be what Harvey wants.”
“Well, indeed, this thing is not important to us. How are you going to find Harvey next? The scan shows that there is a small glider in the gate behind you.”
“Forget it, this thing is not as convenient as flying by myself, and it is fast and maneuverable.”
Then, Mo Wen shot out the grappling hook again, using the power generated by the retraction of the grappling hook to take the glider to the sky, and at the same time started the thruster to fly towards Harvey’s location on the navigation.
“By the way, what is Rico doing? Is it so boring too?” Mo Wen, who was rushing in the sky, suddenly became curious about what Rico’s mission was like.
“As for Rico, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be racing now?” Lucy said uncertainly as she looked at the picture obtained from the city surveillance.
“Huh?”
“Let me take a look,” Lucy connected to the satellite and located Rico’s position: “Well, he is indeed racing now. He is currently driving a white and orange van, racing with a group of black soldiers on the mountain road.”
“Damn! Such a boring task was given to me, but it became fun when it came to Rico!”
“Hmm~ Maybe there is something important in that car. After all, you are not good at protecting it.”
“Emmm, that’s true. Forget it. So, since you have accepted it, you should complete this mission well.”
Then he said no more and continued his boring journey.
A few minutes later, Mo Wen arrived above the target location and scanned the target person Harvey at the edge of a cenote.
“I think I found him, Lucy, help me confirm it.”
Lucy took over Mo Wen’s perspective and began to compare the collected images of the people.
“Yes, it’s him.”
After receiving the confirmation, Mo Wen turned off the thrusters, circled and descended, and after descending to a certain height, he fired a grappling hook near Harvey’s position and quickly pulled himself to the ground.
“Bang!”
Mo Wen landed in front of Harvey, startling him, and the notebook in his hand fell to the ground.
“Wow!”
“Ghost Walker? I’ve heard of you for a long time. Hello, I’m a collector, just call me Harvey.”
“Hello.” Facing the hand Harvey handed over, Mo Wen also raised his hand and shook it. After all, it’s not right to extend your hand to a smiling person.
“Mira said you need my help? Oh, by the way, this thing is for you, I helped you get it back.” As he said that, Mo Wen handed Harvey the thing he got from the Black Hand Camp.
“Oh! That’s right, yes, this is it, this thing is…”
“emmm~”
After waiting for more than five minutes, Harvey finally finished speaking.
“What do you need me to do?”
“Oh, that’s right. My goal is to uncover the buried history of the Solis region. And here,” Harvey said, pointing to the sinkhole beside him: “This is the tomb of Otto Longge’s servants. I think there should be some clues in it, so I need you to help me open it.”
“Servant’s tomb? Good man, feudal society actually built tombs for servants!” Mo Wen scanned the structure of the sinkhole and indeed saw many traces of artificial construction.
“In fact, I am also a little puzzled, but with limited historical knowledge, it is true. If you want to solve these secrets, you need to open them. There are too many mysteries in this land. We don’t even know how the empire fell. Perhaps if we solve the secret of the last ruler Otto Longge, we can solve most of the mysteries.”
“Is that so~”
“Look over there, that wooden pillar, pull it down to activate the mechanism…”
“Emm~” Mo Wen, who didn’t want to listen to Harvey’s nagging, flew down directly and used the grappling hook to pull the mechanism.
Then, accompanied by a rumble, a huge round stone sculpture rolled down the slide from the top of the mountain.
“This is Uma. Let him fall to the mechanism below to open the servant’s tomb. What wisdom! Really, they can actually make such a thing! Amazing~”
After seeing Uma rolling into the tiankeng below, Mo Wen spread his wings and flew down.
Deep in the tiankeng, because the lower part is a straight up and down structure, coupled with dense vegetation, the sun can’t shine down at all, and the few lighting tubes are almost useless.
Mo Wen directly turned on the same night vision mode.
“Is that the tomb over there? But where is the mechanism to open the tomb door?”
“According to ultrasonic detection, Xiao, there is a huge gravity mechanism under your feet. It should be necessary to put the big stone called Uma on it.”
Hearing Lucy’s words, Mo Wen first looked down at his feet, then looked at the boulder not far away, and responded: “I understand.”
Due to the lack of external devices such as Rico’s hydrogen balloons and ropes, Mo Wen can only rely on his own power to move this big guy.
Fortunately, Mo Wen had a cheat, so this little thing was easy, but it was a bit troublesome to control the direction of Wuma’s rolling.
As the huge stone Wuma fell on the mechanism, the mechanism was instantly pressed down, and the tomb door in the distance also opened…
