Free Web NovelAnd that kick also told that Mechanical Girl that the counterfeit could never match the original's flavor. Once you've gotten used to my authentic size, how could you possibly experience that familiar feeling if you casually switched to another size? Hmm?
Dragging Zuo Zuo along, they easily shook off that Mechanical Girl.
I have to say, they had the Mental Space's benefits to thank for this.
The blood mist's concealment really did help you avoid a lot of unnecessary danger to a great extent.
Otherwise, if that Mechanical Girl had latched onto them, it really was hard to say whether they could have gotten away this time.
And along the way,
Lynn also saw one after another of his own "corpses" gradually turning to ash.
Unimaginable—just how many of his projections had Silver Fantasy encountered here? It seemed his place in her heart had definitely reached a terrifying level where she could recall him just by closing her eyes!
They kept running for over ten minutes.
Moving forward in this almost featureless space made it impossible to know where you had ended up.
"Brain! Something's wrong up ahead!"
Zuo Zuo stopped abruptly, alert.
Lynn also halted sharply, his gaze falling on the ground covered in fine ash—the residue looked very similar to the remains left behind when those projections dissipated.
Clearly, not long ago, more than one battle had taken place here.
"Do you feel it? That same strange sensation as before!"
Zuo Zuo warily flipped her ponytail, her arm instantly transforming into a long bone blade, her eyes fixed on the direction from which that sensation was coming.
Lynn adjusted his Monocle and said calmly:
"Yeah, I feel it. And there's more than one. But it shouldn't be God of All Machines' batch. Let's retreat."
Caution.
That was absolutely vital for survival in an unknown environment.
Don't be curious.
Don't seek death.
For example, if you pass by an abandoned village and ancient temple late at night and hear strange sounds coming from a small forest, never be curious enough to go check—because following the usual pattern, nothing good will happen. And even if there is, it definitely won't be your good fortune.
Without any hesitation,
Lynn immediately turned, grabbing Zuo Zuo's hand, ready to change direction.
But just at that moment, a familiar sensation like an electric current flashed through his consciousness, making his pupils suddenly dilate.
"Wait, that's..."
He instantly turned his head, his gaze locking onto another direction where a presence was rapidly moving toward the same sensed location.
Familiarity!
Yes, unlike the other sensations.
This feeling seemed like...
"Little Treasure?!" Zuo Zuo and Lynn both spoke that name in surprise almost simultaneously.
And in that higher-dimensional sensation, they could clearly feel the other side pause slightly. But obviously, the other side's permissions weren't as high as theirs, making it hard to pinpoint their location immediately.
But in that moment of hesitation, Lynn also immediately sensed that the group of suspected Colossus-part consciousnesses ahead had changed direction, beginning to rapidly close in on Little Treasure's location.
"Damn it!"
Lynn was absolutely exasperated.
Clearly, when Little Treasure sensed those Colossus parts, those Colossus parts had simultaneously sensed Little Treasure's location too.
The law of attraction between Colossus parts.
If it were normal times, it wouldn't matter. But at this critical juncture, you really couldn't be sure whether the Colossus parts you sensed were under the control of the Flesh and Blood Cult or the Mechanical Cult. Encountering them under such circumstances would definitely cause a whole pile of trouble.
"Brain, what do we do now?" Zuo Zuo also felt the trouble.
Lynn looked up, his Dead-Fish Eyes staring blankly: "We'll have to make a trip. But be careful—if you sense anything wrong, Zuo Zuo, you run immediately. Don't worry about me!"
"Got it!"
"Such a decisive answer... I am your Brain, you know. Aren't you going to say something heartwarming like, 'I'll never abandon you—if we die, we die together'?"
"Hmph! In your dreams!"
"..."
Without another word, the two detoured and quickly moved toward that direction.
Though avoiding contact was indeed the best choice,
since they had sensed their teammate, they naturally couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
And most importantly, although Little Treasure was cowardly, his actual combat strength was at least at the Transcendent level. And since he was a flexible tongue, if they could act together, their own power would also receive a significant boost.
Finally!
They had found this guy who had been lost for over a hundred chapters!
...
They stepped into the blood mist.
And Lynn immediately heard the sounds of battle and explosions coming from ahead.
"Just as I thought. Aside from Little Treasure, all the other Colossus Flesh and Blood dragged into this place have become driven sheep!"
Lynn's gaze sharpened.
He reached out, dispersing the mist before him, and immediately saw dozens of mechanical units in the fog ahead, surrounding a furious, python-like Big Tongue in the center, hunting it down.
It was the Mechanical Consciousnesses from within the Mechanical Cult's Hive!
And after being dragged into this Mental Space, they had all gained their own mechanized physical forms.
Lynn immediately saw that each mechanical unit's arm was equipped with a tech-style energy generator emitting a faint red glow. Amid the loud humming, blood-red beams surged from those hand-cannon-like energy devices, binding themselves like chains around Little Treasure's body, continuously suppressing him.
A panel instantly appeared before Lynn's eyes.
[Consciousness Armament: Psychic Energy Generator 3.2]
[Category]: Special Consciousness Bio-Armament
[Description]: A third-generation consciousness armament researched by the Mechanical Cult's Purity Council, incorporating Cyber technology. It forcibly implants an armament imprint into the consciousness using data forms, allowing the wielder to deploy special psychic suppression abilities in both consciousness and data forms.
[Specialty]: Targeted effectiveness against Colossus consciousness.
Just as he thought!
Being able to prepare this kind of setup in advance was enough to prove that God of All Machines had been ready for this!
Lynn also saw that under the targeting of those dozens of generators, Little Treasure twisted and writhed in fury, but was still being continuously suppressed.
"Little Treasure! I thought you, Big Tongue, were already dead!"
In an instant,
Lynn grinned, leaping up. The moment those mechanical units turned and their screens shifted from green to red, two tentacles exploded from beneath Lynn's ribs, instantly wrapping around two of the mechanical bodies. They then snapped taut like a slingshot, and under the immense elastic force, his body shot forward like a cannonball directly into the crowd.
"Warning—abnormal Colossus consciousness fluctuations detected—prepare to hun—"
"It's that Night Doctor who insulted our Miss Intelligence Machine!! Kill him! Move!"
