Chapter 204 The Rejected Man
As night falls, the starlight shines across the vast expanse of the desert, in this originally silent place.

A huge tent that looks like a secret circus performance stands on a stretch of silver sand.

There are many guard machines around.

Inside the tent, people were toasting each other and the atmosphere was mysterious and warm.

At this time, four people who had covered their faces with cloth also walked out of the two eye-catching aircraft.

“Is it okay to just leave it here?”

Shihe looked at the two latest ZAFT technological products behind him and felt a little worried.

"No problem. With He Kui in our electronic lock, it is extremely strong."

"And there are guards here, plus this."

Tiger had just taken out two pieces of desert-colored cloth for camouflage when a hedgehog head suddenly appeared not far away and instantly stuck to He Kui's Gate.

The greedy look on his face reminds people of someone who has been hungry for three days.

"."

The three of them looked at the tiger.

At this time, the tiger was helpless as the other party also discovered them.

The hedgehog-head quickly jumped in front of everyone.

He looked familiar.

"Are these machines yours?"

"Yes, Luo, it's just right that you're here."

Tiger stepped forward, took off his scarf and said.

"Captain Andrew~Why are you here?"

"Ahem, anyway, it's full of twists and turns."

"Do you know what's happening over at Victoria Harbour?"

Tiger asked, changing the subject.

"I heard that they just repelled a wave of attacks from the Earth Alliance, but now they are all in an uproar, saying that the Earth Alliance has mobile suits or something."

Luo said casually.

He Kui, who was listening to their conversation, also stepped forward and came between them.

"Who is this?"

He Kui actually knew the other person but he asked anyway. He Kui also didn't expect that Lao Hu actually knew Luo.

"Luo Qiuer is a core member of the Waste Merchants' Union. I met him after I returned to PLANT."

"Calling him a backbone is too flattering."

Although Luo said this, he looked very proud and it was obvious that he enjoyed it very much.

"This is my companion."

When Lao Hu introduced He Kui to Luo, he did not reveal He Kui's identity.

"hello."

Luo didn't mind and just smiled brightly.

"It's great that you're here. Both of our machines need repairs and supplies. Do you have a ship?"

"Of course~"

When Luo heard that the two new machines could be repaired, his eyes lit up.

"But we're also scheduled to attend this auction, how about we take a look together?"

Luo looked at the tent not far away reluctantly.

"I heard that there will be parts for new models at this auction."

"Parts for the new machine?"

He Kui asked curiously.

"Yes, they are the parts for the four new machines in the Orb Project."

"I heard there's also a Baku head with a lightsaber in its mouth, just like yours! And there's also special covert action armor, a three-dimensional situation detector instead of a monocular camera, and a reinforced composite terrain detector on the side!"

It is quite rare to see a Baku head holding a lightsaber.

Plus these detection enhancement equipment.

As far as He Kui knows, this kind of weapon is currently only used as a special forces operation.
And the Baku head that appears here now is most likely the remnant of that army.

This means that there may be information in it that needs to be recovered.

Although strictly speaking it is none of their business, since they have met each other.

Facing the tiger's gaze, He Kui could only nod.

You can't just go back without caring about anything.

"Then let's go together."

"Wait! Put the machine onto your mothership first."

Tiger said helplessly.

"Okay, follow me."

Seeing that the two of them also seemed interested, Luo took them directly towards the mothership.

"I'm sorry."

The man and woman following behind were looking at the two of them with some apology. In a sense, Luo had skipped the maintenance work to be lazy.

"it's okay."

Tiger smiled and waved his hand, putting the mask on his face again.

He Kui shrugged and followed Tiger to their mothership.

It is a ZAFT desert battleship that has undergone minor modifications.

The weapons were removed and replaced with mechanical arms, which is in line with the identity of a waste dealer.

Now that the machine had found a place to park, everyone headed towards the auction.

Although it was called an auction, the scene was extremely shabby.

There wasn't even a seat, everyone was standing.

The auction had just started when they entered.

Some people hid their identities by wearing scarves or masks, while others just stood there carefree.

"That person seems to be one of the research team leaders of Actaeon Corporation."

He Kui pointed in another direction and said, closest to the auction.

"Yes, and there are quite a few soldiers in the crowd."

"It looks like there's something in that Baku head that shouldn't be there."

Tiger also followed up with the analysis.

He Kui had already released all five Haro and they formed a circle around the crowd's feet.

"Is this Hello!?"

Watching He Kui's actions from the side, Luo opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Yeah, just a little toy."

"I know who you are!"

Looking at He Kui who was surrounded tightly, Luo said excitedly.

"You are."

Before Luo could say anything, He Kui covered the other person's loud voice.

"Well, it's better not to say more now."

After saying this and seeing Luo's calm expression, He Kui let go of Luo.

"Feel sorry."

"But I've read a lot of your research, and a lot of it is very creative! Including mining and jet devices."

"And you actually completed the miniaturization of beam weapons much faster than Orb!"

"Thank you."

He Kui laughed softly.

It was a very pleasant thing to be praised by someone who was perhaps the best technician in the world.

After saying that, He Kui looked at the suitcase in Luo's hand.

“Is this artificial intelligence?”

"Yes, but to be more precise, it's a quantum computer."

"How was it accomplished?"

"Hachi? I didn't develop Hachi. I found it on an abandoned drifting ship."

"Right, Hachi?"

"That's right~"

The answer quickly appeared on the screen.

Able to communicate with people without any obstacles, and also MS control
However, this world was originally the future for He Kui.

Just as there are people like Dr. Hibiki who created the perfect adjuster, there will naturally be people who specialize in AI.

Although few people know about it, it is not impossible for it to exist.

Xiao Ba is undoubtedly more powerful than all their AIs at the moment.

And it can be used in intense combat, and it feels a bit similar to 00's Hello.

"Can you lend it to me?"

He was so busy before that he forgot about Xiao Ba's existence for a moment. Now that he had a rare opportunity, He Kui asked directly.

"Sorry, Hachi is my friend. I need to ask for his opinion."

Luo shook his head firmly.

"Xiao Ba, can you come with me?"

Although He Kui's face was mostly covered by the scarf, his curved eyebrows still showed that he was smiling very kindly at the moment.

"don't want."

Xiao Ba saw at a glance that this human wanted to study him and refused directly.

"Ok."

Although he said so, He Kui did not give up after retracting his gaze. There will still be opportunities in the future.
