Chapter 1004 Big Gift
Chapter 1004 Big Gift
The people standing nearby, though curious, didn't say anything.
In fact, Hogg saw this scene and was also somewhat uncertain.
He didn't know what Xiao Ce was looking at, but judging from his expression, it shouldn't be anything bad.
The group waited, each with their own thoughts.
Xiao Ce stared for a while before he came to his senses.
Morgana was the first to step forward and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, is there a problem with this key?"
After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce looked at her with surprise and said, "No problem..."
Hogg, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, I told you there wouldn't be any problems. Since I've fixed it, then it's definitely fixed... I wouldn't lie..."
After hearing Hogg's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right, Hogg, you made the right decision."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Hogg continued, "Mr. Ce, is there anything else we need to do?"
Xiao Ce said to Hogg, "From now on, do as you said. Lie to your master and say that there won't be any problems on your side in the future, and that everything will proceed as you instructed..."
Hogg nodded to Xiao Ce, then said, "Okay, but what if I've already given you the key after that person delivers it...?"
As Xiao Ce spoke, he took out another card from the inner pocket of his body.
After taking out the card, Xiao Ce handed it to Hogg...
"You'll use this 'key'!"
Hogg was astonished upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, then looked at the nearly identical 'key' that Xiao Ce had handed him.
Xiao Ce took this so-called key from another robot that had been disassembled.
He discovered it when he was inputting the system into that undercover robot.
Those robots are just a vessel, while the so-called consciousness is just a chip.
Each different chip represents a different person.
Xiao Ce then reformatted the chip he had found and reset it...
Although the two chips are different, people here can't really tell them apart.
As for the chip that Hogg took out at this moment, it was obviously more advanced, and Xiao Ce could change it at this moment.
He also didn't have a robot as a carrier...
Therefore, it is unknown what makes the person inside this chip card different.
"Will this work? Although it's similar, it's clearly different..." Hogg said, looking at the chip in his hand.
"My owner isn't stupid, I'm afraid I can't fool him..."
Xiao Ce said to Hogg, "Let's leave it at that for now, just in case. If I manage to crack this card, I'll have someone send it to you. Of course, if I don't crack it, you can insert this card into the body of the person they send over. Either way, he'll be able to control that body, and then Morgana will be able to control that person... giving you a better chance of winning..."
"Besides, given your current situation, they might not be back anytime soon... So, don't worry... Also, I already have a general understanding of them... This time, I'm going after them... By then, they might not have time to bother with you..."
After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Hogg nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Ce, I understand... then I'll listen to you..."
Hogg then took the card Xiao Ce offered and asked, "Mr. Ce, it's a bit inappropriate for me to keep this card. Perhaps you should give it to Lady Morgana?"
Seeing Hogg's response, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "This is between you and Morgana. Just listen to Morgana."
Hogg nodded upon seeing this, and then looked at Morgana.
Morgana then said to Hogg, "You should keep this. When they bring you the robot, if they ask you for it, will you still come asking me for it?"
Seeing that Hogg was about to speak, Morgana said to him, "Hogg, if you really want to serve me, you will serve me even without this key. Of course, if you don't want to serve me, even if you hand over this key to me... you can still betray me."
"So, since I've chosen to trust you, I don't care about such a small thing... You can keep this yourself. This trust needs to be given to each other..."
Hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled. This Morgana had indeed learned some of his essence...
Hogg nodded, moved by Morgana's words.
Morgana said to Hogg, "Alright, Hogg, pack your things and go do what you need to do... In the future, if they ask you to do something, just tell me immediately. We will definitely cooperate with you if we can..."
Hogg nodded to Morgana, then said, "Ms. Morgana, I understand. And regarding the secrecy on your end..."
Morgana smiled broadly after hearing Hogg's words, then said to Hogg, "Hogg, go and talk to Luna about this. You two go and do it..."
Morgana glanced at Luna as she spoke.
Luna nodded to Morgana, then left, and they went to do their thing.
After Luna and Morgana left.
Morgana then asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, the way you looked at this key just now was very different... Is there some special meaning behind this key?"
Upon hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled broadly and nodded, "That's right. I told you before, each robot is actually just a body, which makes each robot a person..."
Morgana still looked puzzled after hearing Xiao Ce's words: "Mr. Ce, I still don't quite understand. You said this key is a person... is that a metaphor?"
Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana's expression, then said to her, "Lady Morgana, it was a metaphor, and indeed it is..."
Seeing that Xiao Ce was about to explain, Morgana smiled at him and said, "Mr. Ce, never mind, I don't really understand even if you explain it to me. What I want to know is that Hogg didn't play any tricks, right? My judgment was correct, wasn't it?"
Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana and then said, "That's right, your judgment was correct..."
Morgana nodded: "That's good..."
As Xiao Ce spoke, he turned to Morgana and said, "By the way, you just told me you were going to give me two big gifts. Did you convince Thomson as well?"
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana smiled and said, "Mr. Ce, you're right, that's indeed the case... As expected, nothing can be hidden from you..."
Xiao Ce smiled, and Morgana said to him, "He hasn't returned yet... so we're not in a hurry... I was just letting you know..."
Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "Morgana, do you know what he's going to give me?"
Morgana looked surprised after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then shook her head and said, "Mr. Ce, I didn't ask about that. Anyway, he already agreed, so I feel that what he brought out shouldn't be a lie... Besides, I think even if he wanted to lie... he couldn't fool you, right?"
Xiao Ce nodded: "That's true..."
Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "He should be handing over the things soon."
Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana and then said, "That's right, that's indeed the case..."
Morgana then turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Ce, from what you're saying, are you about to leave...?"
After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right. I thought you would be very opposed, but judging from your expression, you don't seem to be too opposed."
Morgana smiled at Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Ce, to be honest, if it were before, I would definitely have objected. But times have changed... Now I really wouldn't object so much... After all, before, I was always considering the gains and losses of Lingas, and even our Free Federation. But, it's clear, Mr. Ce, that you've never been one to calculate the gains and losses of just one side... Compared to us, the whole world needs you..."
"Especially these days, I've realized that this world doesn't seem to be the world I know anymore... I feel that this world needs you more... and the things you entrusted to me, I've done enough here..."
Xiao Ce smiled after hearing Morgana's words and said to her, "Morgana, you've matured quite quickly..."
Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, it's not that I've matured quickly, it's just that so much has happened these past few days, and so much news has been coming my way. I feel like I'm falling behind... so I have to change..."
Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana, and just then, a servant knocked on the door.
Da Lei opened the door and took a look.
The servant then said that it was Thomson who had arrived.
Morgana looked at Xiao Ce, who then said to her, "Have him come over..."
Morgana then sent a servant to inform Thomson to come over.
When Thomson arrived, he was still carrying a wooden box.
This wooden box is quite heavy.
After Thomson entered, he bowed to Xiao Ce.
After bowing, Thomson said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, after some consideration, I have made my decision."
After hearing Thomson's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright... whatever decision you make, I will respect it..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Thomson nodded. Although he knew Morgana was there, he didn't care that Morgana didn't mention it later.
Thomson then continued, "Mr. Ce, you asked me before if I wanted to go with you. I've thought about it, and I also need to talk to Ms. Morgana. I feel that going with you might not be of much help to you, so I think it's better not to go with you..."
In fact, Morgana had already told Xiao Ce about it.
Xiao Ce nodded with a smile on his face.
Judging from Xiao Ce's expression, Thomson knew that Xiao Ce probably already knew.
However, Thomson didn't care. Instead, he saw Xiao Ce's expression and knew that the method he and Morgana had discussed was effective...
So Thomson continued speaking.
Thomson said to Xiao Ce, "However, I can write down everything I know, everything I have experienced, and everything I know about that place, and give it to you."
"Of course, that's not important. After all, as I told you, I have my reasons for not being able to go... Because Alcatraz Island is subject to change, all my previous experiences and knowledge could potentially be rendered useless..."
"So, after much thought, I've come to realize that if you, Mr. Ce, are planning to go to Devil's Island, there's only one thing that might be useful to you. I thought I'd show it to you first..."
As Thomson spoke, he began to introduce the box he had brought.
After looking at the box, Xiao Ce asked Thomson curiously, "Thomson, is this the thing you stole before?"
Thomson nodded, then glanced at the people around him.
Clearly, he felt this was important, and he wondered if these people could watch it together...
Xiao Ce then said to Thomson, "Thomson, just open it. There's nothing these people can't know..."
Thomson nodded, then carefully opened the wooden crate.
The wooden box was filled with various items, seemingly as a form of protection...
Soon after, Thomson removed some of the fillers from inside.
Something resembling an iron plate was taken out.
The people here see this as an iron plate, but Xiao Ce is somewhat surprised by it.
As Thomson directly opened that plate-like object...
This is a laptop, and judging from the material of the casing...
This laptop is very likely made of military-grade materials...
When Xiao Ce saw Thomson take out this thing, he felt a little dazed.
In this environment, surrounded by these people, and with this military computer.
Xiao Ce felt that all of this was completely impossible to appear in the same scene.
Such a scene is unlikely to appear even in later movies!
