Unbeknownst to Lin Sanjiu, the 1.7 seconds after she woke up were the most torturous 1.7 seconds of Soulsqn's life. However, Soulsqn's misfortune did not only last for a short while. Every second that followed was more torturous than the one before.
As an opponent whose combat power was almost completely nullified, the only reason Soulsqn could last so long in front of the Veda was that Puppeteer had attracted most of the opponent's attention, and that was when Puppeteer was unable to move.
At the same time when Lin Sanjiu disappeared, Puppeteer fell from the sky like a building that had been snapped in half. He crashed into the ground with a loud thud.
"You are so persistent," a Veda said. Perhaps it was the Veda from before, perhaps it was not. Their voices were equally flat, so no one could tell them apart. "You can't hide anything from us, so why do you have to fight so hard? Is it just because we have reconstructed your memory? "
'Memory? '
Soulsqn, who was still panicking, was stunned when she heard the Veda's words.
"The thing I can't understand the most about humans is your impulsive emotions," another Veda replied. "No matter how much you think you are using your rationality to analyze the situation, the truth is, even in your daily life, more than 90% of your decisions are driven by emotions. You are a good example. Just because a momentary memory was evoked, it was enough to incite the resentment and anger that made you willing to step on the road to death. "
They always talked a lot. Soulsqn straightened her body and shot a glance at the black shadow in the distance.
"My lord!" she shrieked. "My lord, are you alright?"
"Ah, and you." The Veda seemed to have just noticed the flesh worm. A pale golden glow flickered in the tube, illuminating the area around Soulsqn. Soulsqn was shocked. Instinctively, she opened her blood-red mouth and hissed.
"A creature like you is different from a human. You are not driven by emotions, but your behavior patterns are rooted in instinct and desire. We don't have any information about you in our database, so we hope that you can fill in the gaps. "
"Bullsh * t!" Soulsqn snarled. Her eyes never left Puppeteer's back as he lay on the ground. "My lord, can you hear me?"
"He can hear, but he can't move." One of the Veda replied, "We know all his functional data like the back of our hand. It's not difficult to disable his movement module."
Soulsqn was stunned.
How were they supposed to fight this battle? Lin Sanjiu was nowhere to be seen, the gigolo had run away, and even the adults were powerless.
A pale golden light shone from the 'pool' and shone on the flesh worm's body. The flesh worm was startled and panicked for a moment. As she retreated, she spat out a mouthful of biotin. The two weapons that she was best at were useless against the Veda. Only she could see that after the chemical hormones in the form of molecules were shot into the air, they slowly fell back to the ground.
"Analysis complete." The Veda who was closest to them said calmly, "The composition of this biotin is uncommon, so it's worth storing."
"But I can't open the database right now."
"Yes."
The few large 'pools' exchanged some information, but that was all Soulsqn managed to catch. She did not have the time to think about why the Veda could not open the database. Her body trembled uncontrollably. Even with her strong mind, she did not know what to do next. Just then, the flesh worm felt something hit her head. A golden light flashed in the direction of the Veda, blinding her vision.
"What's wrong?
Attack! Attack! "One of the 'pools' shuddered, and the spots of light scattered and flickered. Just like the last time, it reported a series of information about the attack in a fast and steady manner. However, before Soulsqn could turn around to see what had attacked the Veda, she suddenly felt something soften in midair.
It was an indescribable situation.
It was empty as far as the eye could see, but the feeling of something "softening" and sinking was so clear that it was almost tangible. It even bent the pale golden light emitted by the other Veda into an arc.
'What happened? '
Not far away, Puppeteer was still lying on the ground. His black leather and pale skin were motionless as if he was dead.
Soulsqn wanted to turn around but did not dare to do so. Then, the third Veda was shot.
It was a real shot. As a flash of light leaped into the 'pool' with great force, Soulsqn heard a loud bang. The bullet shell fell to the ground with a crisp clang. It was as if she could still smell the smoke in the air.
The flesh worm could no longer hold it in. She did not care whether she would leave her back open for the Veda or not. She turned her head abruptly and froze.
The one who launched the attack was someone that Zeus had never expected. Three or four Zeus stood shakily on the ground. Their eyes were dull and their faces were stiff. One of the Zeuses was holding a gun in his hand, and white smoke was rising from the muzzle. Another Zeus had his mouth slightly open, and between two rows of densely packed teeth, he was biting something small.
These Zeuses were all puppets. They had been captured by the Veda and their connection with their masters had been severed, but now, for some reason, they were all standing up. However, that was not what surprised Soulsqn the most. What surprised her the most was that the attack from these Zeus puppets was actually effective on the Veda.
With a crunch that sounded like teeth tearing through a plump cherry, the Zeus had bitten through the thing in its mouth. Soulsqn turned around and saw the Veda in the air begin to shake violently. She was so excited that her heart almost jumped out of her chest, but she did not.
The flesh worm was quick to react. Seizing the opportunity, she twisted her head around and dashed toward Puppeteer, who was not far away from her.
"Sir!" it cried, grabbing him by the back. Soulsqn pulled out her long, fleshy limbs that were dripping with mucus and placed them on Puppeteer's shoulder. She flipped him over, revealing his pale, paper-thin face.
His eyes were deeply immersed in the blood-red mist, and Soulsqn was relieved to see that he was still alive and sane.
"Why are the puppets standing up?" Soulsqn squeezed under Puppeteer's arm and propped him up. Even though Puppeteer did not answer it, he kept staring at the direction where the Zeus Puppets were, and the glitter around his eyes made them look even paler. Puppeteer did not answer it, but he kept staring at the direction where the Zeus Puppets were. The glitter around his eyes made his lips look even whiter.
"I … I get it now …" Amidst the blinding light, two kinds of 'voices' could be heard. One was information that they could understand and was directly attached to their minds; the other was like the buzzing sound of a machine running at high speed, carrying with it an astonishing amount of information that flowed through the pipeline at a crazy speed, making people's heads swell. "So … So you already knew that we would … cut off … your connection with the puppets …"
'Huh?
Could it be that the actions of these Zeus puppets are all part of Lord Puppeteer's plan? '
Soulsqn could not help but turn to look at Puppeteer. The latter's head was still hanging low, and his black hair was dangling from his cheeks. He looked lifeless and unresponsive.
"Analyze them!"
One of the Veda suddenly issued an order, and a wave of golden light shot toward the Zeus puppets not far away.
Soulsqn suddenly realized that she had made a huge mistake. Why did she come to help Puppeteer up? Lord Puppeteer could not move, and the most important thing now was to protect the Zeus puppets from being analyzed!
Just as the thought crossed her mind, her body made its move. With a loud thud, she tossed Puppeteer back to the ground and pounced on the Zeuses. Seeing that two of the Zeus puppets had been completely enveloped by the golden light, the flesh worm turned around and swung her long tail at the remaining two Zeus puppets.
The Zeus who was holding the spear and the Zeus who had a ball in his mouth took the attack and fell to the ground. Out of the corner of her eye, the flesh worm saw a golden light flashing behind her. She did not dare to look back. She grabbed the two Zeus with her fleshy limbs and dragged them to another direction as fast as she could.
"It's … It's useless …" the Veda stuttered.
"Sooner or later, we'll catch them …" The Veda spoke in a stutter.
What responded to it was a "bang" of a bullet, shattering the second half of its sentence into golden light spots that scattered all over the sky.
"Ha!" The flesh worm was instantly energized. Even though she was carrying a heavy burden and her body was numb from the gunshot, she could not help but feel refreshed. "Come and catch them! Even though these two things can't do anything to you, it seems like you can't do anything to us either! As long as you don't catch them, you won't be able to analyze them — "
It was so pleased with itself that it said, "Why don't you write an item for defense?"
Soulsqn froze for a moment. Perhaps she was too shocked and regretful, she even slowed down.
