Transformers: Leader's Proof - Fragile, but Hard to Kill

Chapter 189 Sharp Angle: Straight for Life!

After rescuing the Decepticon, Blackface finally had time to find out the Decepticon's identity. Perhaps this Decepticon wasn't from the Tomb of Ai, so he went to find the pile of equipment left behind by Windblade.

After Rosa helped them search through the files, they finally found a cache and used it to remotely access the Cybertronian list.

That should contain what they need, such as a complete list of more Decepticons.

This time, they've identified the Decepticon. Iron Fist is putting him into a hibernation pod; his condition is stable, and he won't die.

As for whether waking up later will cause some psychological trauma... it's hard to say, nobody knows.

We'll only know for sure when he wakes up, but he's a dangerous prisoner, so he should be locked in a hibernation pod. Why would we let him wake up?

So whether or not there's trauma wouldn't be within their concerns... No, wait, was Rosa's way of thinking also influenced by her...?

The black-faced man finally pulled up the prisoner's file. His name was Sharphorn. Before his arrest, he was the leader of a pirate gang that specialized in robbing cargo from ships.

Then, the expression on the black-faced god's face turned puzzled, and he was so surprised that even the generator malfunctioned and froze for a moment.

He slapped himself hard, finally managing to finish his sentence.

"No, no, impossible! It says here that after being arrested, Sharp Horn was imprisoned in Ai Zhi Man?" Everyone became even more puzzled upon hearing this.

But he's not on the list of prisoners in Ai's Tomb.

Rosa was also puzzled. She hadn't found this person on the list she downloaded from the Tomb of Ai. So, either Cybertron was hiding something, or it was just someone with the same name, or there were other Tomb of Ai ships.

After all, if we really have to resort to conspiracy theories, he deliberately sent one of his own people into the prison, ostensibly, but in reality, there was no such person in the prison at all... But what was his motive?

Wait... something's not right?

Rosa suddenly seemed to realize something, and froze for a moment, feeling more and more that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Bumblebee asked, sensing that something was off with the machine she was holding in her arms. Judging from her expression, she had definitely noticed something.

"Black-faced God, do you remember what happened when the accident occurred? Like how it happened?" Rosa's eyes were not right, and her expression became particularly serious. Black-faced God quickly shook his head.

"No, I only remember that I was driving the Tomb of Ai, I don't remember anything else, what's wrong?" Rosa didn't answer directly, but stepped forward to continue asking. Bumblebee realized that Rosa was about to leave, so he didn't continue to hold her.

"Has the cause been checked? Was it an impact or something else?" Everyone could tell that Rosa had definitely thought of something, and Black-faced God pondered for a moment after hearing this.

"To be honest, this level of damage—even if there were any traces of it—would probably be long gone, either burned up in the atmosphere or scattered somewhere on Earth..." The Black-Faced God, in his old habit, slapped himself hard.

They couldn't know the specific reason, and he also lost some of his memories and even his fighting ability because of the destruction of Ai's Tomb.

"So, what exactly happened?" Iron Fist anxiously wanted to know what Rosa had thought of.

“I have a guess about this extra sharp corner…” Rosa looked at the location of the hibernation pod, then turned to look at the others.

"The simplest guess right now is that it's a name clash. There's more than one Tomb of Ai, there might be many. The Cybertronian record contains information from other Tomb of Ai ships..." She said this, then hesitated for a moment.

"However, I also feel it's unlikely, because at least there would be a number, and..."

According to Blackface God's explanation of "Opening the Tomb of Ai," the current wreckage should be the main ship of the Tomb of Ai, no matter how you look at it..." Everyone was a little confused about Rosa's meaning, especially Steel Lock.

"Wait, I didn't understand?" He met Rosa's gaze and listened as she continued to explain.

"What I'm about to say might sound a bit conspiratorial. First, let's assume that the current list of names in the Tomb of A is correct, provided by Cybertron..."

The list from Cybertron was fine too, but... that list was only used for appearances.

Upon hearing this, Bumblebee suddenly realized Rosa's guess: "You mean...?"

Rosa continued, "Do you know about falsifying accounts? Like that, let's have a conspiracy theory: if the crash of the Tomb of Ai was deliberate, and secretly orchestrated by Cybertron, then what's the purpose of this extra sharp point?"

After those words, the dark-faced man suddenly understood Rosa's meaning, and goosebumps rose on his skin. "You mean, Sharp Horn might have been sent out?"

"Yes," Rosa nodded. Talking to the smart machine was indeed effortless, but the others were still a little confused.

"Let me put it this way: First of all, judging from the list alone, the Cybertronian power structure was definitely involved in the escort of the Tomb of Ai."

They must have some ulterior motive. Assuming the crash of Ai's Tomb was also something they wanted, then if we detain all the prisoners and check them, we won't be able to find that "non-existent" sharp point. This time, Bumblebee understood too.

"They want Sharphead to stay on Earth, but...why? Isn't he a Decepticon?" Bumblebee's iron skin started to tingle.

“That’s the problem!” Rosa nodded. “Let’s think about the worst-case scenario. As the leader’s guard who saved Cybertron, especially Optimus Prime, they were blamed after the war. This is connected to the current situation of ‘letting the Decepticons on Earth’…”

I find it hard to believe that the Decepticons weren't behind this...

As a key member of the Decepticons, he was 'assigned' to hide on Earth. Since this is what the Cybertronian leadership wants, they will definitely have other plans.

Even Steellock understood this time, but Iron Fist couldn't believe that Cybertron's higher-ups would do such a thing. "How could this be? How could Cybertron..."

Hesitation was written on her visor. She trusted Cybertron, but the idea that the Decepticons had infiltrated their ranks seemed too fantastical.

"Didn't you see? The list issue can't be explained; it can only be a problem with higher-ups. This non-existent prisoner is a Decepticon, and he's been on Ai's Tomb from the very beginning."

If they want these non-existent prisoners to secretly infiltrate Earth, the best way is to crash the spaceship.

The state of Ai's tomb was most likely man-made; its current state of destruction is the best proof...

“If there really are Decepticons in the higher-ups…” Blackface rubbed his arms again. Bumblebee agreed; after all, a hero who saved his homeland didn't receive respect and couldn't even find a job—it just didn't seem right…

“Although it’s all just conspiracy theories right now, I actually have another way to apply…” As soon as Rosa finished speaking, everyone looked over.

What else can be done?

"Is the ambulance serving as the Supreme Council?" Rosa finally remembered what she had forgotten to tell Bumblebee and the others.
