Chapter 75 Rendezvous
“The train?!”
Everyone was shocked by Elus’s speculation.
“Yes, but compared to ordinary trains, in addition to transporting goods, it can also transport people… After all, in an environment like the Vast Sea, ordinary vehicles can hardly advance?”
“B-but why would the Sea Tide Dragon attack coastal islands and devour humans? We clearly…”
Zhisheng Luo walked forward and raised her doubts.
…
“Senior Zhisheng Luo, the frequent appearance of the Sea Tide Dragon was also a matter of a hundred years ago, wasn’t it?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Well, that’s right. The destruction of the Snow Kingdom was also a hundred years ago. It should be that the Trickster Demon sent people to this area and modified something.”
“Eh?”
“For example, modifying the instructions for the Sea Tide Dragon, making them mistakenly believe that guests needed transportation on the Dulan Islands… This kind of thing is actually not complicated, it only requires biological knowledge from past civilizations.”
“It’s indeed like this…”
The girls looked at each other. They all thought the Sea Tide Dragon was an evil monster that hurt people. But no one would have thought that the Sea Tide Dragons were just fulfilling their loyal duties.
They had been transporting goods for thousands of years, even though its former civilization had turned to dust.
“Senior Elus, what exactly does the Trickster Demon want to do?”
“I don’t know, after all, even Princess Xing has never come to such a deep place… But I have a premonition that the puzzle can be solved deep within the city?”
…
——————
…
“Because we didn’t know what was happening, we didn’t dare to rescue the villagers who were packed into boxes rashly… In this way, we advanced all the way to the depths of the transfer center.”
After recalling this experience, sweat appeared on Senior Zhisheng Luo’s forehead… It could be seen that even though some time had passed, her mood was still not calm.
“Senior, and then?”
“Later, in the passage, we encountered a group of robots.”
“Robots?”
“Yes, they seem to be security robots, shaped like enlarged bees. These robots have poison stingers at the end of their tails, and their numbers are very large…”
“!”
“However, their targets were only Senior Elus, Princess Cécile, and Candelle. They ignored me and Senior Zhisheng Luo.”
“This kind of thing is very strange…”
Lonis, after a moment of thought, understood the key point!
Candelle was a mixed-race of demon and human.
As for Cécile and Elus, they also had some demon blood in their bodies.
But what about Isumi and Senior Zhisheng Luo? Although they had gained superhuman strength, they were still humans themselves and not considered demons.
So…
“Are these robots only attacking demons?”
“That’s right. Realizing this, Elus and the others took the initiative to lure them away, covering me and Senior Isumi to continue exploring deeper.”
“!”
“We separated after that. I went deeper with Senior Isumi, trying to find the control center here to stop the commotion of these mechanical bees.”
“…”
“But we didn’t find the control room, instead, we entered a factory and witnessed the truth of this place… It turns out that those villagers who were encapsulated were eventually transported here to be made into puppets as raw materials! They would completely lose their freedom and become citizens here.”
What Senior Zhisheng Luo said was almost exactly the same as Lonis’s deduction.
The scale of this city was very large, and in addition to millions of mass-produced puppet bodies acting as “atmosphere groups,” there were also thousands of “protagonists” living there.
They were either ordinary people captured from the Dulan Islands or explorers who mistakenly entered the Dulan Islands. After a series of modifications, they became members of this city.
Confirming this, Lonis only felt a chill run down her spine.
“Then Senior Zhisheng Luo, after that…”
“After that, I didn’t know where Senior Elus and the others went, and Senior Isumi and I tried to stop all this, but we were caught by the security robots halfway.”
“Eh?”
“They also seemed to want to modify us into puppets. I wanted to escape with Senior Isumi, but I was powerless…”
Zhisheng Luo rubbed her forehead. Hearing this, Lonis quickly asked:
“Is Senior Isumi going to be modified into a puppet?”
“Yes, I want to help her, but I myself also…”
“Where is Senior? We need to go and help quickly!!”
…
…
Hearing that her companions were in danger, Lonis could no longer sit still.
Without much rest, the three ran towards the placeSenior mentioned.
Due to the curse, Senior Zhisheng Luo’s body was still very weak… Although they had considered arranging Senior Zhisheng Luo in a safe place. But the current situation was very urgent, so the two took Senior Zhisheng Luo with them.
Through the Lian Lan paved with white floors, the three went down and left the “hospital ward” where they were currently located, and arrived at the “surgery area” with security.
“Warning, warning, intruders detected, execute elimination operations.”
As Senior said, this place was full of patrolling security robots—they flew like wild planes, their giant bee wings constantly swaying.
Their tail stingers were very sharp, in addition to easily piercing steel plates, they could also launch poison needles that caused people to fall into a coma.
“Everyone be careful, don’t get hit by the poison needles.”
“Mm!”
Facing these security robots, Lian Lan did not hesitate.
The girl stepped forward, often with just one sword, she could cut the target in two.
However…
There were too many of these security robots. Even though Lian Lan’s movements were far beyond ordinary people, she was still surrounded by them, and was in imminent danger.
“Miss Lian Lan, I’ll help you.”
But in the critical moment, Lonis made a move. She directly summoned the Ember Shield and protected Lian Lan.
Zhisheng Luo also picked up a stick from the side and, with all her might, beat towards the bodies of the mechanical bees.
…
Ding Dong,
Sizzle!
Electric light leaped in the sparks, and depressions collided in the metal.
The three worked together to clear a path forward, and finally, after a fierce battle, they fought their way to the operating room.
…
Perhaps they were afraid of disturbing the surgery, but there were fewer mechanical bees here.
Red warning lights illuminated, and the sign that read “Undergoing Surgery” gave Lonis an extra chill.
Has Senior Isumi already been modified?
With the worry in her heart, the girl took out her Ice Chill Dagger. She almost unhesitatingly wanted to rush forward and cut open the metal door.
However…
“Lonis, don’t come in!”
“Eh?!”
“I am currently undergoing modification… I must possess the power of this place to control it. Well, the modification is almost complete.”
Senior Isumi’s voice came from the operating room, calm and steady.
