  “Find the Headless Horseman!”


  Doll yelled in the darkness and Kun Wu appeared on a beach a dozen kilometers away. She looked at the sea in a daze.

  “Wait, Doll’s main program should not be in that mechanical cat. He should be fine.” Kun Wu comforted herself and thought about it again. “If we mainly rely on mechanical creatures, we will be too limited. Who knew that he would have electromagnetic powers and that he could wield them so well. If this carries on……”


  Kun Wu lifted her head and she looked towards the Jianghai district. “Look for the Headless Horseman?”
……

  Meanwhile, after sending away Kun Wu, Doll was engulfed in a dense shadow that could not be penetrated.

  A meow sounded from the shadows.

  “Haha, trying to be a hero?”


  “Do you think that by staying behind, she can escape? She will be caught sooner or later.”


  Doll laughed coldly. “You think too much. I stayed because I was afraid that when I kill you guys, it would hurt her accidentally.”


  “You’re stubborn.”


  Then, countless shadows sliced past Doll’s shadows. Every time Doll’s shadows were attacked, Doll’s mechanical body was left scarred and sparks flew.

  Doll: “The power to attack shadows?” Then, Doll’s electronic eyes glowed with red light and shot out two beams of light. It shone onto the shadows like a searchlight.

  Ahh! The shadow backed off while screaming and Doll charged towards the edge of the building.

  The light could only fight off the shadow momentarily. When, Doll turned his head, more shadows were on the ground chasing his shadows.

  When Shadow saw that Doll was at the edge of the building, he sneered, “You have nowhere to hide.”


  Then, Doll jumped out from the ceiling and to Shadow’s astonishment, silver flashes sliced across the sky and flew onto Doll’s body like an armor. Instantly, he was armed.

  Doll had become a two meter tall, metallic, feline robot. He aimed his paws towards the roof of the building, several holes opened up on his arms and shot out several laser beams that covered the entire rooftop.

  Everything on the roof was shattered immediately. The shadow was still wriggling. It did not look like it had received any damage.

  Doll was surprised. “The supercat is not on the roof? Is he controlling from a distance? Or is he concealed as the shadow?” He shouted, “Headless, scan the entire building for biological activities.”


  “Yes, master.” Zhao Yao voice came out of Doll’s metallic body. “The building is XXX highschool’s building. There is no large or medium sized biological activity inside.”


  “Not inside?”


  Electron imaging, thermal imaging, sonar imaging and all the relevant information about the building poured into Doll’s brain.

  Headless was a cat artificial intelligence created by Doll. It provided all kinds of long distance support for Doll.

  Doll did not do this work himself and had created this artificial intelligence because the artificial intelligence needed to be constantly connected to a large database. It had to do things like data exchange, commanding all the production lines and mechanical forces and much more.

  All these task required an absolutely rational, objective, and emotionless artificial intelligence to be completed.

  If Doll was to do this himself, he would have had to obliterate all the emotions in his main program. Furthermore, because he had feelings, being in contact with a massive amount of data would influence his character. He would become apathetic and regard himself too highly.

  To separate his work from himself, he created this cat artificial intelligence. The cat artificial intelligence helped him complete all sorts of work. All he had to do was just to control the cat artificial intelligence.

  As for why the cat artificial intelligence was called Headless, used the Headless Horseman’s voice, and addressed Doll as Master, it was for a mysterious reason.

  On the roof, the shadow was distorted as thousands of black blades shot out from the shadows at Doll.

  “Headless!”


  As Doll sent out the signal, in a split second, the cat artificial intelligence had already activated the Type I Dodging program. High speed particles were shot out from Doll’s back and paws. He flew at high speed and dodged all the black blades.

  Headless: “Although I am a useless cat artificial intelligence, I can dodge.”


  “Shut up. Turn off the low self-esteem mode and add emotional algorithm into the learning plan. The keyword is flattery.”


  “Yes sir. I understand.”


  Doll let Headless control the mechanical cat for dodging, while he activated the 12 rocket artillery behind him. After confirming that there was no life in the building, he pointed his 12 rocket artillery at the 12 supporting points of the building.

  “Since there is no life then either the shadow is controlled from a distance or that cat is in the shadows. Let’s try physical isolation first.”


  Then, the 12 rocket artillery was fired from Doll’s back. The rockets had graceful trajectories as they hit the building in different locations.

  Bam! Bam! Bam!

  The entire building collapsed and all the dust flew into the air.

  Looking at the ruins under his feet, Doll thought to himself, “He wanted to capture me? He isn’t that powerful anyways. If it was not for Project X’s electromagnetic powers, I would have gotten rid of him myself.”


  Headless: “Boss, your strike was so spectacular, breathtaking, bloody, water streaming……”


  “Shut up,” Doll said out of exasperation. “What are you talking about?”


  Headless: “Boss, these are the compliments found on XX web posted by their users regarding firing a rocket artillery……”


  “Pull the XX web into the black list.” Doll answered and looked at the ruins of the building. Then, Headless’ warnings rang.

  “Boss, the police are here. Let’s go.”


  The surveillance footage of a cluster of police cars driving over flashed across Doll’s eyes.

  Then, when Doll’s body was about to emit plasma flames to leave.

  Whoosh! A beam of light slashed across the sky and wrapped around Doll.

  Doll’s body started to melt as soon as he was engulfed by the white light. The warnings from Headless rang repeatedly.

  “Boss, we seemed to have met with a high-energy laser beam. The exterior temperature is over 60 000 Degree Celsius. The percentage damage in the mechanical body is more than 15%……26%……37%……”


  Doll crashed down in flames and hit the ground, creating a large pit in the floor.
