Lin Sanjiu's mind buzzed, and for a moment, she could only stand rooted to the ground. His five viscera and six bowels were churning, and even his blood and organs seemed to be screaming. However, his mind was still blank.
She stood there in a daze. For a moment, she felt like laughing. Logically speaking, Puppeteer and Soulsqn should not be considered as companions. Not only were they not companions, but they were also troublemakers and rivals. Even if she was not happy about their deaths, how could she be so dejected?
"Did you guys shut down the database?"
Ji Shanqing's voice sounded like it came from a faraway place even though he was standing very close to Lin Sanjiu. He was not close to Puppeteer and Soulsqn, so he only seemed to be surprised for a moment before he calmed down. "You guys should know that it's a little too late to shut it down now."
'Does he mean that he has already read the information? '
Lin Sanjiu did not understand what he meant, but to be honest, she did not have the energy to guess what he meant.
There was more than one or two things that the grand prize hadn't told her.
"It's not too late."
One of the Veda answered calmly. Its pale golden glow floated in and out of the tube, casting a soft glow on the surroundings. "I don't know where you obtained the reading ability … Maybe you got it from your people, or maybe you got it from another source. But no matter how you got the deciphering ability, and no matter if your ability is mature or not, the information you can get from our database in just ten seconds is very limited. "
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes tightly. Her mind was a mess, and she could not figure out what was wrong with the Veda's words.
The grand prize tilted his head, and his long black hair fell from his shoulders like water.
"Is that so? People always look down on me. "
"That is the truth," the Veda answered. "The information in the database has already been broken down, so it is very fast to read it. However, even with our speed of 100,000 dysprosium per millisecond, it will still take each of our people more than a thousand years to retrieve all of it. The capacity of one dysprosium is roughly equivalent to the total data of a planet's meteorological activity. Judging from the ten seconds you spent in there, you wouldn't have been able to obtain enough valuable information. "
In other words, what the grand prize read was just a drop in the ocean?
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip hard. She had been trying to calm herself down and focus on fighting the Veda, but when she finally opened her mouth, she could not help but ask in a hoarse voice, "Did you guys really delete Puppeteer and the rest of them from the database? Don't tell me you didn't keep their data? "
She did not even want to consider the philosophical question of whether the person who had been rewritten based on the data would still be the same person as before. As long as they could walk in the world again … they would be whoever they thought they were.
The person who answered her was not the Veda.
"Sister, they can't be kept." The grand prize placed his hand on her shoulder and caressed it gently. It was like a jade-white petal swaying gently in the wind. "Have you forgotten? We were in the database at that time. If the Veda has recorded their information, it will be stored in the database. But we've been waiting for a long time, and we still haven't seen Puppeteer and Soulsqn's information, right? "
Lin Sanjiu shuddered uncontrollably.
"But … with your greed for information, I'm surprised that you were willing to delete the information of two living beings." Ji Shanqing raised his head and smiled at the Veda.
Even though she had lost her [Epiphany], Lin Sanjiu shuddered at that moment. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck her mind. There was one question that she did not think to ask in her shock. "Why?" She stared at the Veda and asked hoarsely, "Why did you delete them?"
The Veda paused for a moment. Before it could answer, Ji Shanqing suddenly snorted in a low voice.
"I don't care what their reason is," he said as he stood beside Lin Sanjiu. It was as if there was a breeze between the two of them. "Sister, the most important thing is that … I can avenge you now."
"What?"
"These Veda," he said as he turned to look at her, his black eyes gleaming with an almost gentle light, "are no longer a threat to me."
"What do you mean?" Lin Sanjiu was shocked.
The grand prize did not answer her directly. Instead, he looked at the Veda in front of him. Ever since they came out of the vault, the Veda had been hovering in the air motionlessly as if they were waiting for something. Ji Shanqing let out a sigh and patted his shoulder lightly. "Sis, you have to hold on to me, okay?" he said.
'Hold on to me?
Why should I hold on to him? '
Lin Sanjiu hesitated for half a second before she placed her hand on his shoulder. The moment her hand landed on his shoulder, the grand prize turned his head and slammed his palm on the wall of the pipe. The moment his fair fingers touched the gray wall, Lin Sanjiu was jolted by a sudden tremor. She staggered, and her fingers slipped from the grand prize's shoulder. The pipe started to vibrate, buzzing and blurring. Lin Sanjiu subconsciously let go of her grand prize just now, and now that the wall was shaking, she immediately gave up the idea of holding on to him again.
"Sister," Ji Shanqing turned his head, and his face suddenly turned pale. "Hurry up and grab —"
Almost immediately, his words were drowned out by the shrill alarm of the Veda.
"He's equipped with reverse programming," the sentence flashed across Lin Sanjiu's mind, bringing with it a large amount of information. "Exit, exit the light filament —"
'What is reverse programming? '
Even if she could not figure out what was going on, the Veda would not be willing to answer her. In the blink of an eye, the light filament that looked like a pipe suddenly disintegrated, revealing a vast expanse of blue starry sky outside. From the spot where the light filament broke off, countless ferocious air currents surged out. Each of the air currents weighed more than a thousand kilograms, and they could almost wrap around anything and shred it into pieces. What was worse was that these air currents were coming from different directions. Each of them shuttled back and forth between each other, twisting and tangling with each other. If one was caught in the middle of two air currents, even a planet would be pulverized into dust.
'How in the world can such a terrifying air current be stirred up in the airless universe? '
Lin Sanjiu finally understood why the grand prize had asked her to hold on tight. She was like an ant that had been thrown into a typhoon. She had nowhere to hold on to, and she could not stabilize herself. The air currents seemed to move faster than her mind. When she regained her senses, the grand prize's figure had become so small that it looked like an illusion.
Every time the light filament broke, a new air current would set off. Lin Sanjiu could not see or hear anything. The only thing she could do was to activate her [Defense Forcefield] and swing her [Tornado Whip] with all her might. She had never conjured such a powerful tornado before, and she had never conjured a tornado that dissipated so quickly. Relying on this negligible counterforce, Lin Sanjiu struggled to maintain her balance in the rapid current. She did not want to be sucked into the depths of the rapid current and be shredded into pieces again.
"Sister!"
Ji Shanqing's shrill cry came from afar. It sounded as if his voice was choked by fear and panic. It was as shrill and shrill as a dying deer. Lin Sanjiu wanted to call for help, but she could not even open her eyes and mouth. She felt as if her facial features were going to be scraped off.
"Sister! Where are you? " The grand prize let out another shrill cry of terror, but his voice was torn into pieces by the air currents. Lin Sanjiu could not even tell which direction his voice came from. Just when Lin Sanjiu's heart was burning with anxiety, she shook her hand, and the momentum of the tornado weakened a little. The whirling air currents seized the opportunity and rushed toward her like a tidal wave. Lin Sanjiu's vision darkened, and she was thrown far away.
