"That's it, Fluffy! You did it! Now, you can try to release me! "
"Are you sure this is a success?"
This was a 'prison' in the creator's reality, somewhere in the distant void. Yes.
Although this place was heavily guarded by the brain spirit, Lin and the creator had been trying to unravel the secrets of this place. The creator really wanted to escape from this place.
Using a special connection in the dream, Lin could control some of the machines near the creator.
Usually, the machines she controlled were the small ones around the creator. But now, Lin had successfully controlled one machine, and that was … a door.
The door at the entrance of the Creator's Room was a very complicated thing. It looked like a gate that could be lowered or raised, but after controlling it, Lin discovered that the door was actually made up of a large number of mechanical parts, and there were many complicated functions inside.
Lin could use the complicated functions inside to make some sounds and communicate with the creator, letting the creator know that Lin was controlling the door.
Click, click, click.
Lin was now using the machines inside the door to make some sounds, communicating with the creator in the center of the room.
The creator, on the other hand, used the special changes in its skin. The bark-like structure on its skin could emit some sounds, and Lin could 'hear' it from where she was.
Using this method of communication, it seemed like the brain spirit's cube wouldn't notice. So, Lin and the creator created a new 'language' in the dream. It was especially used to communicate here.
Click, click, click, click … Now. Lin's voice was saying, "How do you want to get out?"
"It's simple. Of course, we can't go out directly, but we just have to cause some … damage to them. Fluff … your door can control many places, including some of the small machines beside me. "The 'bark' on the creator's body was slowly moving, and there was a sound when it collided with each other.
Just as the creator said, Lin found that she could use some of the machines inside the door to control the small machines around the creator.
There were many small machines inside the transparent jar that imprisoned the creator. They looked like bugs. Lin couldn't control them at all in the previous control tests.
Now, it seemed that these machines didn't have a brain spirit, so there was no way to control them through the dream. They were controlled by the door.
Why would she need to control these machines through a door? Perhaps it was because Brain Spirits had a special way of thinking.
In short, Lin discovered that by swinging some of the components inside the door, she could control the movement of the machines. The normal function of these machines was to crawl around the creator's body, occasionally injecting some strange substance into the creator's body.
The creator obviously wanted to take advantage of this, because if it could inject, it could also do the opposite.
"Fluffy. You control the 'needle' and use it to suck out the cells in this location. "
The creator was referring to a special machine. This small machine was only a few centimeters in size, and there was a slender spike on its head.
This thing was originally used for injection, but it seemed that it could also be used for absorption.
"What are you trying to do?"
According to the creator's explanation, Lin controlled this' needle 'and pierced it into the creator's skin, absorbing some of the liquid inside.
"Very good, Fluffy. Let's think of a way to get it out of here and then proceed to the next step."
With that, the creator suddenly began to move its tentacles vigorously. With its movements, the room shook again.
Could it be … So that was how it was.
As the room shook, there was a reaction on the other side of the door.
Lin was now controlling the door, so she could see the situation on the other side, which was the outside of the room. Outside the room was a very long passage, mainly made of metal, and there was nothing on the walls. It led to a turn about ten meters away.
Lin now saw a large number of small cubes appear at the turn. This group of cubes quickly ran to the door, and Lin immediately controlled the door to rise.
As if this didn't arouse their suspicion, the cubes ran to the creator's side, and like last time, they surrounded the creator.
'Crack!' At the same time, the transparent cover that trapped the creator also rose … It seemed that she had to take advantage of this opportunity.
'Whoosh!' Just like before, the small cubes fired a large number of black spikes at the creator. At the moment when the spikes were fired, Lin slightly controlled the small machine that absorbed the creator's cells. One of the spikes brushed past it, causing it to bounce off and fall into a corner of the room.
It seemed that the cubes didn't care about this problem. After shooting a large number of spikes, the creator once again slowly entered a state of deep sleep.
They seemed to use these black spikes to solve the problem of the creator waking up every time, but Lin felt that if it was repeated too many times, they might use a new method to solve it.
Next, the cubes did what they did before. They first surrounded the creator for a while, then went to pull out the spikes on it. After that, they all ran away, and the transparent cover once again trapped the creator.
The small machine 'needle' that was sent flying earlier was still outside.
So, what should she do now? The creator didn't seem to have said what to do next, and Lin couldn't enter the dream to ask it.
Because if she entered the dream and came here again, she might not necessarily control the door. She might have to experiment many times before she could control the door again.
But … Lin realized that the creator seemed to have left behind some words. Now, the creator's skin changed to express some kind of language.
The bark-like skin was pierced with a large number of spikes, and after the spikes were pulled out, many marks were left on the bark.
These marks could also be used for communication because the new language that Lin created in the dream and the creator used to communicate in this place also included the 'skin language'. The creator could tell Lin certain information through different changes on the skin.
And now, the marks on the creator's skin were telling Lin, "Bring that 'needle' to a corner of the room, then release my cells from those holes."
A corner …
From the marks on the creator's skin, Lin could see that the 'corner' it was pointing to was to the right of the creator. There were many small holes on the ground in that corner.
That seemed to be used for breathing. Although she didn't know whether this place was the void or somewhere else, there was air. But that place shouldn't be able to escape.
However, Lin still did as the creator said. She let the needle crawl to the corner of the room and put the creator's cells into those small holes.
Then, Lin returned to the dream …
"Looks like you've successfully completed your mission, Fluffy."
The creator seemed to be quite excited in the dream. "It won't be long before I can leave that place."
"Can your cells do that?" the pompous ball asked.
"They're not just cells, Fluffy." the creator answered. "They're some … 'viruses'."
"Viruses?" the pompous ball was confused. "They're also effective on the brain spirit's machines?"
"Correct, metal viruses. I prefer to call them that, but the name is not important. Fluffy, they're a special species that I found by chance. They can infect the brain spirit's metals …" the creator explained. "As you know, there are many creatures in the brain spirit's army, and some of them carry parasites that can harm themselves."
"These parasites will spread through some of the brain spirit's metals and cause damage to some of the systems around my 'prison'. Then, I can use this opportunity …"
Just like that, a few days and nights passed.
During this time, Lin would often 'connect' with the creator and control the various machines to observe its progress.
This thing that the creator called metal viruses did seem to have something special about it. Lin could see some strange colors spreading out from the ventilation hole, and there were more and more of them, but the blocks did not seem to react to them.
In the end, the wall around the corner of the room changed color. Its color became lighter and dimmer, but there was no visible change.
"Yes, you can't see the change, Fluffy, because this virus will not cause any damage to the brain spirit or their metals. Therefore, calling it a virus is not necessarily accurate, but there is no other suitable description for this thing. "
"The only effect it can cause is … to trap the brain spirit. The infected machines … the brain spirit inside will be trapped, unable to return to the dream, and other brain spirits will not notice. Do you know what this means? Fluffy … "
"They can't communicate with their own kind, which will cause a big problem. It's not obvious yet, but this problem will become obvious very soon …"
The pompous ball asked, "Where did you get this virus?"
"This comes from a special creature … we'll discuss this after we leave, Fluffy," the creator said. "Now, let's move on to the next step of the plan … see if you can control the infected machines."
The pompous ball continued to ask, "Where did you get this virus?"
"I've said it before, Fluffy, after we leave …"
"Where did you get this virus?"
"…"
"I got it from 'Mother', Fluffy," the creator said. "Its knowledge allowed me to know that there are countless types of creatures that we will face, so there will be countless … ways to deal with them."
