Chapter 146: You're Killing Yourself
Spectacular.
Clusters of silver pillars at least a kilometer tall were neatly arranged in an array that was almost fan-shaped, just between this side and the wreckage of the huge Commander Robot, which was clearly a powerful defensive device.
Especially after the restriction of vision is lifted, and you are used to seeing things in a small space, it is especially powerful to suddenly come like this.
The beauty of the machine โ this element also plays a big role.
Of course, there is a sense of beauty, solemn iron and fire, gears, pistons or intricate structures, romance of the human and non-human forms, and so on.
If we want to discuss the meaning of the aesthetics of an era, it is absolutely impossible to bypass the element of "mechanical".
However, when it comes as a hostile person, the meaning is completely different.
With the exception of some battle maniacs whose brains don't know if it's abnormal or beyond the realm of human thought, the vast majority of people don't want to confront an enemy who is too strong.
Huang Taiyi felt that he was a normal person in most cases, so he couldn't face it with a relaxed attitude now.
Especially when there are still people who need protection.
By the way, speaking of which...... The kid whose name just now must have been ใ Lang but certainly didn't have any cooking talent and couldn't draw a bow and shoot arrows seemed to have summoned Mephistopheles dolls.,This may be the onset of the second disease, but I have to consider one of the possibilities.ใ
"It doesn't seem like it's easy to pass, I think we should retreat for now."
Wei Wu took the initiative to stand behind everyone's back, this was out of his judgment rather than simply lack of courage, at least the calm attitude he maintained in the face of various changes was not fake, and it was difficult for people who lacked courage to do this.
The two little children probably only know crying and being in a daze, and can't be counted on.
"There has been, as he said, at least retreat to the exit first!"
The squad leader didn't have the idea of running away immediately, but considering the current situation, the option of running away must be considered.
Huang Taiyi and Mephistopheles had no objections, and the group immediately retreated from here and waited for the time being in the place where the underground passage was located.
However, the enemy's reaction was also somewhat subtle.
The subtlety is that there is basically no reaction.
It stands to reason that these huge pillars, or metal cylinders, contain Mephistopheles dolls, and their combat effectiveness cannot be ignored.
They didn't show up.
It's like a real wall, and theoretically has part of the function of a fortification, but whoever really thinks that they are just objects that act as walls is really an idiot.
"It seems a little different from what I imagined."
Wei Wu did not propose to continue the retreat, and he also felt that the existence of these pillars was very suspicious.
"Could it be a bluff? Why don't I check it out? โ
Mephistopheles is now a little eager to take the plunge and doesn't approve of overly cautious behavior.
"That...... Big sister? โ
The red-haired boy who was already tired of crying and calmed down finally resolved the misunderstanding under the persuasion of his sister, and then he suddenly remembered something.
With so many people around, he was obviously talking to the squad leader, and Huang Taiyi felt that such a little ghost would definitely become a nasty guy when he grew up.
"Huh? Tired? Why don't we go back first? โ
The squad leader also had a maternal outburst at this time, and he was obviously ready to wait and see just now, but now he immediately changed his mind.
"Big sisters and big brothers...... Are you here to save your father? โ
The boy still had tears on his face.
"No, the big sister and the big brother must have more important things to do, because we are still children so we can't understand."
Sister Yili is obviously much more sensible, maybe this is what it means that girls develop earlier.
"Woo......"
The teenager's mood immediately became very low, and in his concept of family was the most important, and there was no concept of other people.
"So what do you want to say to Big Sister?"
The head of the class could not be upset by the child's simple thoughts, and she still coaxed him softly.
"Actually...... That kind of robot, it doesn't seem to attack me, it only attacks others......"
The boy was easily persuaded by the squad leader, crying and chirping about the information he "had".
Wei Wu shook his head lightly, but did not speak.
Huang Taiyi also felt that the credibility of this kind of "intelligence" was not too high, after all, he was a child, and many times what he saw and thought would be infinitely exaggerated, and he didn't know what it would be blown about.
Wrong!
It seems to be true!
Did something similar happen just now?
After connecting the reaction of the Mephistopheles doll just now, the emperor seemed to realize some key issues in her heart.
"It's not about controlling the doll, it's about dodging what should be an indiscriminate attack!"
Thinking of this, Huang Taiyi couldn't help but clap his palm.
"Okay, big sister already knows, this is very important information, we will definitely help you find your father, so listen to your sister obediently before finding it, okay?"
"Well, I'm an older sister, and I'll definitely take care of my younger brother."
Yili has a special sense of responsibility as an older sister in this regard, and she also has a strong potential for younger brother control by holding her brother and not letting go.
It's so inhuman to let a child try it.
"You mean dodging the attack? What do you think? โ
Wei Wu looked at Huang Taiyi, who had just spoken, and after a while, his eyes turned to the squad leader who might be thinking about something.
He also agreed with the class leader's superiority in IQ.
"So is it okay to assume that they don't respond to men?"
The squad leader felt that there was no clue here, and still shook his head.
"I'll just try it, how easy it is, just go and come."
Mephistopheles shook off the Emperor's block, and swaggered towards the iron wall under the cylinder.
Appeared!
Each cylinder opens a rectangular exit in the same position, and from it a Mephistopheles doll of the exact same shape is ejected, with the right amount of force, and the landing point is right in front of the cylinder.
"It's a delicate feeling."
Looking at the mass-produced self, Mephistopheles had mixed feelings in her heart.
The uncanny valley theory is not just casual talk, knowing that it must be something that Si Ming created randomly based on memory, but it will not be so simple from the perspective of other people.
Especially when you see the spectacular sight of replicating yourself fishing in situ......
The Mephistopheles dolls, who were still standing on the ground just now, are now lying down quickly one by one, as if they are too tired to stand.
This caused a tic-tac-toe shape to appear on the forehead of Mephistopheles himself.
"You ...... You guys are a little motivated, okay......"
Mephistopheles was interspersed between the dolls touching the fish, and sure enough, the other party did not react.
Huang Taiyi has entered a state of forbearance.
It's really ...... Let's put it this way, Mephistopheles in her normal form sulked in the middle of a large group of two-headed dolls fishing, and the contrast was too strong.
It is estimated that it is the mood of the landlord when he looks at his stupid son.
"Safe, at least I'm safe."
Mephistopheles puffed back to the entrance, not wanting to mention what had just happened.
"I'll try it."
The squad leader analyzed for a long time and did not come to a definite conclusion, and was ready to go into battle in person.
As a result, before he could take ten steps out, a change suddenly occurred.
"Alert, find the invaders!"
I don't know which Mephistopheles doll gave the warning, but anyway, all the dolls who were fishing bounced off the ground neatly, showing off the artillery that came with them.
Sensing the danger, the squad leader chose to retreat immediately, and the Emperor Taiyi and Mephistopheles quickly picked up Ellie and her brother to prepare to evacuate together.
"Alarm cleared!"
The same voice of unknown origin, all Mephistopheles dolls who have entered a state of combat readiness have re-entered the state of fishing.
The same people, completely different.
After that, Huang Taiyi tried again because he was very unconvinced, but the result was that the alarm was not triggered.
Even Ellie offered to give it a try with her brother, but it was still safe.
Wei Wu didn't take the initiative to mention trying, and strangely enough, everyone seemed to assume that he would definitely be attacked.
Could it be......
Huang Taiyi was already a little eyebrow at this time, but this kind of thing was clearly *.
The corners of Mephistopheles' mouth twitched slightly, guessing that it was because she thought of the same thing.
"Could it be...... Will only react to people over a certain age? โ
Wei Wu said his speculation at this time.
Click-
The non-existent burst of thunder fell in Huang Taiyi's spirit, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a blood-red color.
Even normal celestial phenomena did not exist here, but the atmosphere of the air changed drastically in an instant, and a feeling of oppression that was so thick that it was difficult to breathe fell silently from the sky.
It should be just an illusion, and even the temperature that I feel is starting to drop along with it.
Or is it not the temperature that falls, but your own blood......
"I'm sorry I can't let the kids see what follows!"
Mephistopheles held a small child in one hand and ran to the underground passage without looking back.
"Let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late! โ
The emperor couldn't bear to watch Wei Wu die here, so she also grabbed his hand and followed Mephistopheles.
"That's the right verdict...... Woowoo woo ......"
Because his mouth was covered, Wei Wu couldn't make a sound properly, and he was taken away by Huang Taiyi even if he crawled to the ground.
ใใดใดใดใดใดใดใดใดใดใดใ
The special effects to describe the current atmosphere in onomatopoeia were huge, each one as tall as seven or eight people, distorted, dyed with a frenzied color, and they kept vibrating.
This was the last thing Huang Taiyi saw before escaping into the underground passage, no, obviously the eyes can't see it, and it doesn't exist in reality, but it feels like they're there.
Of course, there is also the squad leader's shoulders shaking because of his anger.
"Come and help! Don't look, and don't listen if you can...... Here we go! โ
Huang Taiyi asked Mephistopheles to help cover the ears of the junior group, and the two children obediently closed their eyes.
The sound outside was terrifying.
Tearing, blowing, deafening explosions, and the strange sound of something snapping.
The earth trembled.
Even...... No, it must be an illusion, how could it be possible to hear strange laughter.
It must be an illusion...... Bar......
The various sounds continued for about ten minutes, and then, although there were occasional sounds, were not as dense as they had been.
After another three or two minutes or so, the sound was completely gone.
No one spoke, everyone gestured to each other, and the emperor decided to take a look for himself with a gesture.
Hopefully not to the extent that a suicide note must be left.
Huang Taiyi cautiously stepped out of the underground passage.
The outside world has changed again.
Didn't see anything related to Mephistopheles dolls, as they completely disappear when they explode.
However, there is not a single metal cylinder left.
Large chunks of silver or other color were piled up into a lifeless steel wilderness that stretched as far as the eye could see, like a sea of corpses and blood, and the only huge hill in it stood a lonely, proud back.
"This is the love light of magic...... Isn't it better to say something like that, don't you think? โ
The squad leader raised his clenched fist to the sky.
"This is my whole life without regrets, okay!"
Huang Taiyi felt that even if he was beaten next, he had to complain.
Don't be obsessed with magical girl settings!
