"When an anomaly occurs, they will begin to search for anything that might cause the anomaly."
"But there are too many of them, and they can't directly confirm it."
"So, they will begin to search among the newcomers."
"If they can't confirm it, but there aren't many targets … they will …"
"… the creator said so before."
"So, this is what happened?"
Now, the connection between the Dream World and the Black Metal was broken.
The extremely high temperature was eroding the Dream World's body.
A large number of tiny scanners swam in the Voidman's blood, and the high temperature they spewed out destroyed everything around them. When the blood stopped flowing, and the Voidman's brain began to lack oxygen … the Dream World's fur ball had already come out.
The fur ball could feel the scanners burning its body, as if a large number of these little things had entered the Voidman's body and began to burn the entire Voidman.
No … they didn't seem to have discovered the fur ball.
Under the burning sensation … Lin also noticed that the scanners in the Voidman's body didn't attack the fur ball, but attacked all the surrounding areas, and the scanners didn't emit any scanning light.
So that's how it is. They probably didn't discover the fur ball, and just like what the creator said, they probably just wanted to kill all the newcomers to eliminate any threats …
If that's the case … they probably didn't know that the fur ball was inside.
Lin let the fur ball quickly disintegrate.
Every cell left its original position and began to dissolve the skin in a short period of time. The fur ball 'digested' itself in the Voidman's body.
This way. The fur ball shouldn't be discovered. The Black Metal wouldn't notice that the fur ball was connected in a parasitic way, so they wouldn't be on guard against this method in the future …
Although this was what she thought, she still wasn't very relieved.
Next, she should think of another way.
Soon, the Voidman's body that the fur ball was in had turned into a pile of smoldering flesh, and the scattered cells of the fur ball were also in this pile of minced flesh … slowly dying in the high temperature …
Lin felt that the Black Metal might have also killed the other newcomers at the same time. It seemed that the previous actions had indeed aroused their suspicion, and even made them not hesitate to kill all the newcomers …
Although Lin didn't know what the believers were for the Black Metals, since they could cause substantial damage to them from the inside … Lin felt that attacking them from the inside wasn't a bad choice.
But now, he had to be careful.
Inside the Voidpeople's warship … Not all of Lin's pompoms had disappeared because there were originally many small pompoms that had flown in. The one that was connected to the dreamscape earlier was only one of them.
The rest were scattered throughout the hall of the battleship …
Now, they will continue to scatter. Before that, the creator showed Lin something. It looked like a very strange shape, and it said that it could be connected to the dream.
What was that thing? Also, would the Black Metal discover the connection through it? It didn't have the chance to say these things.
For now, Lin felt that the parasitic connection method was the safest, but she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be discovered if she used the same method again, so she had no choice but to look for that thing.
But before that, he had to ensure the safety of the pompom.
Just as Lin was thinking this, Black Metal discovered one of the pompoms.
After a short moment of scorching heat, the pompous ball escaped from Lin's thoughts … Now, there were only eight pompoms left.
It seemed that the situation had become a lot more dangerous.
They were scattered in the hall of the battleship. The hall was like a jungle made of metal. The ground was densely covered with stones of different shapes, and the ceiling was covered with crisscrossing metal vines.
Between these things, there were a lot of gaps and obstacles to hide, but it still wasn't safe.
Because Lin noticed that not only were there more scanners than before, but there was also a new type among them. Lin called it the 'triangular scanners'.
The scanners that Lin saw before were purely circular, so the addition of a new type was especially conspicuous. These triangular scanners were usually pyramid-shaped, only one centimeter in size, and there were fewer of them than the spherical scanners. They were usually mixed in with a large number of spherical scanners.
They could shoot out a kind of light from the tip of their horns, and when the pompoms were illuminated by the light, they would be instantly discovered, and the previous hiding method was completely useless.
Lin felt that the triangular scanners had a completely new detection ability that was completely different from the spherical scanners, which was why they could discover the pompoms.
Just as she thought of this, another pompom was in danger.
This pompom was hiding in a crack on the metal vines, and outside the crack, there were spherical scanners flying everywhere.
Among these spherical scanners, there was a triangular one that was slowly approaching them.
If she was illuminated by it, she would definitely be discovered. Since that was the case, she could only use this method. With that in mind, Lin ordered the pompom to aim at the target.
Whoosh!
Tiny spikes shot out from the pompom and instantly hit the approaching triangular scanners. After a small sound of impact, the scanners were sent flying.
This thing was relatively weak. It could only scan, not attack, and its defense was also very weak. If it were to come over …
At this time, the spherical scanners around all moved. As if they were greatly frightened, they madly rushed to the pompoms' location and released a high-temperature liquid.
Now, there were only seven pompoms left.
As expected, the pompoms' attacks would expose their location. In this case, she could only move while avoiding them.
With that in mind, Lin ordered the remaining seven pompoms to use another method. They gathered and mixed their fluff to form 'limbs' around their bodies.
If he couldn't hide, then he could only use his speed to dodge.
However, flying was easy to be discovered, so they needed limbs to run. Just like that, the pompoms that had assembled their limbs began to run quickly, avoiding the large number of scanners as quickly as possible.
Under the illumination of countless scanners, these pom-poms moved rapidly on the metal vines. If the ball-shaped pom-poms were to shine on them, they would have to stop moving in an instant. If the triangular pom-poms were to come over, they would have to run away quickly.
Running in the gap between light and darkness, the pompoms left their original positions. They ran while observing, looking for places with fewer scanners.
Compared to the Dream World, this place was like a completely different world.
In the Dream World, Lin and the creator's movements were very relaxed. The roads that led to various places didn't even have a single patrol, so even if something happened, it wouldn't be easy to be discovered.
It could be said that the Dream World was a very 'relaxed' place, but it was completely different outside. There were countless scanners flying around at all times. Even a single virus would be found and destroyed by them.
Pop! Another pompom entered the range of the scanners and was instantly destroyed by the high temperature.
Now, there were only six pompoms left.
Although they ran quickly, they would still be trapped in places where they couldn't move because there were too many scanners. If they shrunk their bodies, they might be able to sneak through the gaps between the scanners. However, the smaller they were, the slower they would be, and they wouldn't be able to escape in time.
The remaining pompoms had to reach a safe place as soon as possible.
But where should they go now? Lin felt that they should find a Voidfolk.
Or the thing that the creator described before, but because they didn't know where it was, it would be easier to find other Voidfolk.
Although Lin believed that the black metals might have killed the new Voidfolk believers, they wouldn't have killed all of the Voidfolk believers … The Voidfolk who came here earlier should have been spared.
But would those Voidfolk be on this warship?
The smell should be able to tell Lin the answer.
This place was filled with air, but it wasn't oxygen, but an unknown type of gas. Although she didn't know why the gas was needed, it allowed the pompoms to collect scent information.
A pompom climbed to a position near the top of the hall. As it ran, it collected the scent information around it. Lin found some strange smells.
These smells belonged to multicellular organisms.
The pompom quickly ran in the direction of the smell.
More than a dozen scanners flew in front of it. The pompom quickly shrunk its body, allowing its body to slip through the gaps between the scanners. Then, it continued to run forward.
It's right in front … The closer she got to the target, the stranger the smell became.
Soon, Lin saw her target. Not far ahead, the vines were coiled together to form a platform.
And on the platform, there was a Voidfolk lying down.
It was the same as the Voidfolk that Lin saw before. It wore a connecting helmet on its head. It seemed that it was one of the more 'senior' Voidfolk, so it wasn't killed like the new believers. In fact, on the way here, Lin had already smelled a lot of burnt smells.
Those smells were obviously caused by the burning of the Voidfolk. There were many new believers in this place, but there would also be such 'veterans' here.
As long as she connected again, she could return to the Dream World.
But before that … Lin felt that she should first deal with the densely packed scanners around the Voidfolk.
They were all triangular scanners, not a single one was round. The word 'airtight' could be used to describe them. Floating astronomy.
