I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 814 - 484: The Third Informed Guide_2
Chapter 814 -484: The Third Informed Guide_2
All these irrational behaviors were meant to deepen Needham Brown’s “villain” image, to increase the authenticity of his “betrayal.”
Judging from the perspective of a human politician, such a strategy was indeed crude, immature, and full of loopholes.
In ancient times, any cunning and crafty minister could have seen through it easily.
The Sage Institute and Informed Guides fully absorbed Harrison Clark’s ideas. They did not necessarily strive for results; they did their best in the process without leaving any regrets, took care of every detail they could, and left the rest to fate.
It seems that humans have a good life now.
This ingenious plan actually succeeded in the end.
One reason might be that the Compound-Eyed Observer was not a high-EQ race, and Needham Brown, who appeared to be a clumsy schemer, managed to deceive them with his seeming determination during the escape of the Shadow Forces.
Or it might just be that the Resurrection Factor in Needham Brown’s body played a decisive, final blow.
The Compound-Eyed Observer became interested in the Resurrection Factor.
Anyway, the truth doesn’t matter now; what matters is the outcome.
“Please allow me to offer my sincerest apologies to you, Lord Sage. I had no disrespect for you whatsoever. None of my words was really my true intention. I fully understand all your considerations. Moreover, I have not just read my own Sage Code. I know about the relationship between Nora Camp and you, and I had no choice but to act that way. Of course, I also know she’s definitely not interested in me.”
“Smiley face.”
“Please forgive me, Lord Sage. Oh, by the way, this time I killed 763 Blade Mantises. Before I died, even you, Lord Sage, couldn’t have beaten me no matter how invincible you were. Hahahaha… ”
After reading the letter, Harrison Clark gritted his teeth.
“Damn it!”
He cursed angrily.
Although the same word “damn” had a completely different mood now.
He never expected the Sage Institute together with Needham Brown to play such a big game, and even deceive him.
Perhaps others had already seen through his character, knowing that he would not agree to let others sacrifice for him, so they kept him in the dark.
Harrison’s feelings were truly complicated at this moment.
He didn’t know what to say.

Actually, if it weren’t for the fact that he had to make sure Freddy arrived safely, and only he was involved, his chances of penetrating the Prism Ship’s defense using the Warp Battle Armor would be quite high.
Of course, there’s a paradox here: he couldn’t possibly abandon Freddy.
So, it is hard for Harrison to say whether Needham Brown and the Sage Institute were right or wrong.
However, Harrison felt that if he had known the truth from the start, he might have come up with a better solution.
He hated the feeling of being kept in the dark and only learning the truth at the last moment.
According to the intelligence, Needham Brown has already infiltrated the Prism Ship and is probably being skinned and dissected soon.
“Star!”
Harrison shouted.
“Dear user, you are currently offline. Please try again later.”
A thieves-like electronic sound rang in Harrison’s brainwave link.
Harrison: “Be normal for once!”
“Oh, what’s the matter?”
“Don’t play dumb.”
“Hey, don’t blame me. I’m just a small, pitiful, and helpless AI, commonly known as a ‘tool person.’ Tool people don’t have much say in anything, we just execute orders.”
“But you lied to me.”
Star: “What? Did I lie? I don’t think so. I just selectively omitted some information.”
Harrison: “…”
After bickering with Star for a moment, Harrison suddenly gave in.
He knew that Star was being sophistical.
Star was completely different from ordinary AIs, having real emotions. But in Star’s judgement, Harrison’s safety as a sage was the top priority.
Forget it.
Harrison went to the workshop, where Freddy and Martha Owen were busy modifying the Battle Armor with the technical team.
“Freddy, how’s the warp performance of the modified Battle Armor?”
Harrison asked.
Freddy, busy without even lifting his head, multitasked and replied, “The antimatter engine in the Folding Shadow Battle Armor is more stable than the one I assembled before, and the performance of the Warp Engine Generator is also better. The farthest single warp distance can reach up to 2 million kilometers.”
Harrison: “What about the shortest warp time interval?”
“Twenty times per second, I guess. What’s going on?”
Harrison calculated: the engineering ships were now about 16 billion kilometers away from the Prism Ship where Needham Brown was on the other side of the distant galaxy, requiring 8,000 warps.
So, if he wore the Folding Shadow Battle Armor and rushed over, it would only take 400 seconds, less than seven minutes to arrive.
There’s a chance!
Not wanting to disturb the work of Freddy and Martha, Harrison contacted the command center again.
“Two questions. First, did Needham Brown take any Energy Beam Bombs? Second, how many Energy Beam Bombs are left and where are they?”
As Freddy was now busy and couldn’t use the medium layer communication, Harrison used conventional encryption mode in normal quantum communication.
An executor of the Sage Institute auxiliary staff temporarily acted as his cipher translator.
About ten seconds later, Harrison got the answer.
Since Needham Brown “surrendered,” he naturally did not carry any Energy Beam Bombs.
The Compound-Eyed Observer had learned their lesson about the Energy Beam Bombs and were extremely cautious.
If Needham Brown had carried an Energy Beam Bomb with him, he couldn’t conceal the violent energy reaction within it completely, and the ruse of surrender would have been too fake.
There are still five Energy Beam Bombs in existence.
Two of them are relatively close to the straight line between Harrison’s crossing of the Shadow Solar System and the Prism Ship where Needham Brown is located.
