Upon seeing this scene, Qin Ming's pupils shrank slightly, and he instinctively moved to save the person, only to find that he was already thoroughly dead.
At the same time, dozens of possible causes of Smith's death emerged in his mind.
To verify, Qin Ming began to dissect Smith's brain and discovered that the brain tissue inside had been destroyed by an electric current, he could even smell the charred flesh.
It couldn't possibly have been caused by the electric shock he had just administered; that degree of electric current and voltage was not enough to kill an adult.
Since it wasn't caused by external factors, only one possibility remained: he died of his own accord, he had killed himself.
To be precise, the Nanomechanical Worms inside his body had killed him.
With this thought, Qin Ming used an optical microscope to examine the Nanomechanical Worms in his brain, and found that at this moment these worms had become unresponsive, showing no signs of activity.
This specimen had lost its value, perhaps it was a safety measure set up by RST Corporation to protect their secrets, or maybe there was some other deeper reason.
Qin Ming grew even more interested in the secrets of the RST Corporation; based on the information he had gathered so far, the company was far from as simple as portrayed in the movies.
It was about time.
The only thing of value left in this world to him was the Nanomechanical Worms capable of editing memories and regenerating human tissue, and it was time to take them into his possession.
But before that, Qin Ming needed a few assistants.
Thinking this, he turned his gaze toward the three women lying on the bed.
Seeing the man's gaze turn toward them, they simultaneously revealed expressions of extreme horror.
Just now, they had witnessed what he had done—cutting unceasingly with the knife, then using electric shocks, and after electrocuting the person to death, he even cut open his brain to smell it; such behavior was even more grotesque than that of a psychopath.
They had barely escaped the tiger's mouth, only to fall into an even bigger pit of fire!
Seeing the man slowly approach with a large array of surgical tools, it was as if they saw a man-eating demon inching closer to them.
The women were unable to move, tears flowing from their eyes, yet they dared not make a sound, their faces full of sorrow and despair.
Qin Ming knew what they were thinking, but he did not offer any explanations, because facts spoke louder than words.
Since Smith's corpse was still lying on the surgical table, Qin Ming began to operate directly on the bed.
He first gave a few shots of anesthetic to the youngest girl, then proceeded to do the same to the other two women; he skillfully prepared them and, after completing these steps,
he went down to the basement. Under the effect of telekinesis, hundreds of parts danced in the air, combining into the six mechanical bionic legs and six bionic feet that the women needed.
He wasn't using those recycled, worn-out parts but the enhanced bionic limbs he had manufactured himself, and the software system was also his own development.
In terms of durability, reliability, and mobility, they surpassed the latest models from RST Corporation by a large margin.
Of course, aesthetics were also essential.
Bringing the needed bionic limbs over to the bed, Qin Ming removed their cumbersome clothes and began to operate on the bed... The anesthetic began to take effect on the women, and they could only watch, wide-eyed, as the young man had his way with their delicate bodies.
Half an hour later.
They had regained arms and legs, even more agile and more potent than their previous flesh and blood.
The young girl gave a slight jump, easily leaping three meters into the air, nearly hitting her head on the ceiling.
It was as if they had been reborn; although they had lost their original flesh and blood limbs, they had gained mechanically powerful ones.
Qin Ming looked at the three women in front of him, who were eager to try yet somewhat restrained, and smiled affably,
"You've misunderstood; actually, I'm a good person."
"Oh, and let me introduce myself. You can call me Dr. Qin."
"Now that I've introduced myself, it's your turn."
There was a moment of silence among the three, and the girl spoke first:
"My name is Sofia."
The mature woman whose limbs had all been replaced with prosthetics replied:
"I'm Luna."
The lady with a mature look answered:
"I'm Jiani."
Jiani, that was a unique name.
Qin Ming looked at the woman called Jiani, "You're Dingni's older sister, aren't you?"
"How did you know?" The woman expressed surprise.
Qin Ming's lips curled up into a smile,
"Besides Dingni, don't you have another sister named Yini, or perhaps a brother named Binni?"
That way, the set of Jiani, Yini, Binni, and Dingni would be complete.
The woman didn't get the joke, she just smiled expressionlessly.
Qin Ming glanced at the girl's slightly bleeding limb connection.
He then reminded them, "You should rest for the night, and you can start normal activities tomorrow afternoon."
When it was time to sleep, Qin Ming faced a dilemma because the bed he normally slept on was occupied by three pale-skinned women.
As a gentleman, he could only slightly inconvenience himself and reluctantly share the bed with them for the night.
Qin Ming wasn't bragging, it truly was a concession. Although Sofia and the other two were reasonably good-looking, and each had a different type, the fact they hadn't showered for several days and still had blood on them meant they had a strong odor.
The women spent a restless night, but Qin Ming had no designs on them. Fortunately, the bed was big enough for one man and three women to fit.
The night passed without incident,
Early the next day, when it was barely light, Qin Ming was awakened by the weight on him; he opened his eyes groggily to find himself pinned down by two legs, one of which was made of titanium alloy.
After shifting the two legs, he got out of bed, took a look at the women still deep in sleep—clearly, they hadn't had a good night's sleep in days.
The women's clothes were tattered, revealing large swathes of pale skin.
Qin Ming used telekinesis to clean up the surgical table and moved the body of the man in the suit to the ground.
He then went out and bought breakfast for five from KFC, along with new women's clothing and underwear in their sizes, and also arranged for the turncoat police chief to suffer a sudden fatal heart attack early in the morning.
From his electronic AR glasses, he saw last night's news about the villa. Online speculation was rife about Iron Man being a war machine created by a military lab, unaware that the so-called Iron Man was just a scrappy fellow from a recycling station.
The front gate automatically opened, and Qin Ming crossed over the pile of electronic waste to return to his room, just as the women on the bed were waking up.
"Put on the clothes."
Qin Ming threw the new clothes at them, then conscientiously turned his back.
Behind him, there was a rustling sound. It must be said, foreign women were indeed more open; they didn't shy away from a strange man.
"Uh... Dr. Qin, we're dressed."
Qin Ming turned around to face them. Clothes make the man, and with a change into new attire, the women once again radiated feminine grace and charm.
Whether it was the young girl Sofia or the slightly older Luna and Jiani, their feelings towards the man before them were complicated and confused.
This man hadn't done to them what they had imagined he might, and he used expensive bionic limbs to repair their bodies, all without showing signs of distrust.
What the women didn't know was that Qin Ming had a switch to control their prosthetics—if pressed, their bionic limbs would cease to function. They thought they had control, but it was only temporary usage rights given by him.
Qin Ming smiled and gestured for them to sit down,
"I know you have many questions. I'll explain everything after we eat."
After the meal, he told the three that it was the RST Corporation's dealer who had turned them into what they had become, that he had rescued them from those people, and that he had spent millions of dollars on their mechanical limbs. He didn't want any compensation, only that they follow his commands to do a few tasks, and they were free to leave any time they completed them.
Hatred doesn't disappear; it just shifts.
While the three were initially hesitant, when they heard Qin Ming's target was RST Corporation, they immediately agreed without thought, transferring their vendetta to the parent company.
Thus, Luna and Jiani were each assigned different tasks by Qin Ming, to better complete their given assignments, each was equipped with electronic AR glasses that allowed them to stay in real-time contact with Qin Ming, who could also monitor their movements at any time.
After Luna and Jiani had left, the youngest, Sofia, couldn't help asking,
"What about me?"
Qin Ming glanced at her,
"You?"
"Start by throwing out the body."
Following the direction of his pointing, Sofia saw the body of the man in the suit in the corner.
The girl: "..."
